PURE FOOD LAW.

On Tuesday next the drastic pure
food law enacted by the last Utah leg
lslature goes into effect The statute
greatly extends the power OF the state
dairy and food commissioner and is de-
signed 10 make impossible some OF the
practices that have been freely engaged
IN by a certain proportion of the deal
srs in food products. 1t is of the great
EST Importance that the dealers &C
quaint themselves with the provisions
bf the act: this not only for their own
sake. but for the sake of their custom
ers as well.
Probably the most important feature
of the new law is the provision under
which dealers in impure food can be
convicted without requiring the state
to show they knew of the impurities
before the goods were sold. Heretofore
convictions have been practically i'm
possible, because the prosecution was
required to prove that the dealers were
fully aware of the character of their
wares. A case in point cited by The
Herald yesterday was one in which
hams that We're so putrid that it was
Impossible to stay in room with one
of them were sold, but no intent to
wrong the customer was showed and
the defendant was discharged.
Under the new law such a result will
be impossible. 1t is the dealers duty
to know exactly what ne buys. This is
his right as well as his duty. 1t is abb
surd for him to say he cannot find out.
He certainly can refuse to buy from the
manufacturer or the jobber who de-
ciines TO tell him exactly what is in
every can OF goods or every pound of
meat, butter, fiavoring extracts and
other articles that come within tie pro-
visions of the law. If the retailer can
show that the man from whom he made
his purchases deceived him he win
have some standing in court, but his
proof must be conclusive. And he must
show his good faith by severing all re-
lations with that firm or individual.
Under the new law the dairy and food
commissioner is empowered to inspect
soda fountains, bakeries, candy facto-
ries. restaurants, hotel kitchens and
saloons, the latter with reference TO
pure or impure liquors. 1t is stated that
in some of these places there exists
evils that stand in need of remedial
measures; that deleteriOus ingredients
get into the products Of some Of the
candy makers, the bakeries and soda
fountains, and that some of the kitch-
ems are not clean. 1t is also said that
much of the whisky sold over the sa-
loon bars is alcohol, diluted and eolOred.
Perhaps there has been some exag-
geration of conditions Indeed. it is
difficult TO believe they are actually as
bad as they are painted. However, no
honest dealer will be injured in the
slightest degree by the new law and its
operations. and the sooner the proper
officials begin their work under the
statute the better satisfied the general
public will be.

EDMUND G. ROSS.

There died at Albuquerque, N NJ,
the other day a man who sacrificed
everything that most men hold dear for
the sake of being true to his convic-
tons. Nearly forty years have passed
since Senator Edmund G. Ross of Kan
sas stood up in his place and voted
against the impeachment of President
Andrew Johnson His vote was needed
to remove the president; his vote alone
stood between Johnson and retirement
It was confidently believed by Ross
constituents and by his colleagues in
the senate that he would vote against
Johnson. He was about the only sem
ator, though, who had expressed no
opinion.
+ Sectional feeling was high. Johnson
had been nominated for the vice presi-
dency with Lincoln partly, it was said,
to placate the war Democrats. He was
a Tennessean of humble origin, but his
origin was no humber than that of the
illustrious American who headed the
ticket Then followed the assassination
the presidency. The Republicans were
in the majority in congress and John
sons theories as to states rights were
in bitter disaccord with theirs.
The carpetbagger saw in the south
fields ripe for the harvest. johnson
stood in their way. He believed in
moderate policy of reconstruction,
policy along the lines Lincoln would
have pursued. The majority in con-
gress, still heated with fractional strife,
was determined upon punitive meas
ures. The crisis came when johnson
attempted to remove Edwin NJ. Stanton
as secretary of war, in spite of the
tenure of office" act that had been
passed over his veto and that deprived
him of the right to make changes even
in his own official family without the
consent of the fiercely hostile senate
This led to his impeachment. The
trial began March %, 1868, and covered
the period between that date and May
26 of the same year. At no period in
the country's history since the close
of the war of the revolution, save only
the first years of the civil war, was its
future so imperiled as during the John
son impeachment proceedings and the
events leading up to them. Not only
was the greatest interest manifested
in this country, but foreign nations that
looked with disfavor upon all repub-
lican forms of government watched
transpiring events here with the keen
est of eyes
Ross saved Johnson, and after the
lapse of forty years it is entirely prob
able a majority of his countrymen are
prepared to say his vote was right. But
1t cost him everything he held dear ex-
cept his honor. His constituents burned
him in effigy; he was denounced as few
men have been denounced by their own
people, and, at the end of his term, he
was forced to leave Kansas forever.
Misfortune seemed to pursue him
through the balance of his life. for
when he died, at the age of more than
50 years, he was earning a modest liv-
ing as a composition.

A calumny on AIaebra.

I'VE fishermen" said Havelock Nor
ton, CALIFORNIA; famous fly caster. ARE
continually being accused of intemper-
ance. The accusation is false No in
temperate man could ever cast q fly.
Yet yesterday a friend of mine had the
effrontery to say TO me:
You fishermen! You fishermenl.
What's the matter now?' / asked,
scornfully.
With a chuckle he declared that out
walking in the country he had met an
angler beside brook and had said to
the man.
How can you tell the good places
from the bad when you come to a
stream
g BY the bottles the man answered.
Wherever the most empty bottles are
scattered is the best place. /"

have been secured and terminal facili-
ties acquired. The cost of these pre-
liminaries alone has run into millions,
yet the officials of the road are ready
TO abandon the undertaking. The cost
Of labor, Of materials and supplies has
risen, hostile legislatures have enacted
laws which would reduce the revenues
materially on the line, securities cannot
be fioated probably under the adverse
conditions resulting from these factors,
and it is likely the opportunities for
labor in the construction of the road
will be lost for some years to come if
not altogether.
Here in Utah conditions are rapidly
approaching the danger line because
the cost of building material, of labor
of everything entering into constructive
work is getting so high that capital re-
CARDS future operations apprehensiveiy.
Murray is confronted with the possible
ity of shutdown in it's smelter be-
cause of a strike of ignorant foreigners
who refuse to work themselves or let
American laborers work who wish to.
II is needless to point out the loss to
Murray and Salt Lake that would fol-
low the closing permanently of the
American plant. Even if work is plen-
tiful elsewhere, the enforced change of
residence for American laborers would
be expensive TO them, and it would be
followed by a deadly loss to the mer-
chants and citizens generally of the
smelter town.
At nearly every point In the state
where large numbers of men are en-
ployed the disconnected have stirred up
trouble. At Garfield the Utah Consol-
idated is erecting two mill units One
is completed. the other is under way.
The builders say that the second unit,
an exact duplicate of the first, is cost
ing 80 1-3 per cent more than the first,
although only a year separates the TWO.
These two instances are used only by
way OF illustrating a condition that
threatens the welfare of the state and
its every community. 1t is natural
for men TO get as much as they can for
their wares or their labor but there is
a point where capital can find no in
ducement for investment in construc-
tion or other active operations. and that
point is being approached too rapidly
for comfort. When it is reached build
ing operations come to standstin.
manufacturers reduce their scale of
operations, business stagnates and
eventually prices of labor as well as of
commodities sink TO a lower level
With conditions all favorable to a
prosperous year here in Utah, it would
be folly for the men who have il in
their power to make or mar the future,
TO wreck the whole structure of pros
perity by unreasonable and exorbitant
demands either for labor or for COM
modities simply because a temporary
emergency seems to offer promise of
success in such demands. The killing
OF the goose that laid the golden eggs
is more than a fable; it applies exactly
to present-day conditions in Utah.

FROM GRUB STAKE
TO MILLIONAIRE

John Gandolfo, jr., will leave Friday
for Arizpe Sonora, where ne Will take
charge OF the commissary of the Minas
Prietas camp, says the Yuma (Ariz) Ex-
aminer-
These famous mines are about 100 miles
from Cananea and are the property OF
John Padrazzini, who, thirty years ago,
was bookkeeper in Yuma for John Gan
dOlfO ST., and who is now worth in the
'-hbOrhoOd of $10.0000o0.
n boOkSeeper TO the richest man in
ate Of Sonora is the step which this
persistent Italian made within compar-
atiyely few years. He left Mr.. GTandOlfe
and went back east, where he went broke
and returned to Yuma to resume his for
mer position. Again he went east and
again he went broke He one day wrote
Mr. Gandolfo that he had enjoyed break
fast, but he had no idea in the world
where he would get his lunch, and Mr..
Gondolfo sent him so in letter in which
he replied TO his former employe in dis
tress.
Padrazzini then went to Arizpe and
went to work for a mining company,
which did not pay him for his services,
and in lieu of such payment made him
present of tine mines. He bonded the
property for $4,000 and the bond was not
taken up on the day the money was due
Possessed of a grub stake of only
few days. Padrazzini kept digging away,
single-handed, in his shaft. One week
from the day the mine should have been
bonded PsdraZZini's pick struck into ore
of fabulous value. 1t actually amounted
to nuggets of gold the proposition milling
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
ton.
He now makes his residence in Switzer-
land When he chooses to travel in this
country he has a private car, and when
he wants it a special train. He has Of
fered his old employers son position
which will afford him an opportunity to
enter a rich district where ne will be on
the ground to take advantage of many
mining propositions on his personal re-
sponsibility.

PRACTICAL RELIGION.

A well known bishop relates that while
on recent visit to the south he was in
small country town where, owing to the
scarcity of good servants. most of the
ladies preferred to do their own work.
He was awakened quite early by the
tones OF a clear soprano voice singing
Nearer. Ny God. to Thee" AS the bish-
op lay in bed he meditated upon the piety
which his hostess must posses which en-
a6led her to go about her tasks early in
the morning singing such a noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about IL

hymn l boil the eggs by; three verses for
