The head Of the university is the chan

chancellor in the Free Church assembly

Chalmers, think, at their bead. and

then the Republican chips in with
showing that both the others are
wrong and that there is no gambling
to speak of to be found. Enough
variety to suit the most exacting

The Republican would merely add
that the whole miserable, dirty, sense
less squabble at Salt Lake City has
lack of it just what the above would
indicate-the insane desire of the diff
ferent combinations to control. To
control for the public's good? No,
hut that a certain set of political ham
gers-on shall have official position.
The Tribune is fighting for principle
in just the way two cats in the edi-
tors kitchen are fighting over the
milk pan; the Deseret News is on the
defensive and while fighting because
it has to do so, resorts to the same
rotten methods INDUCED in by the
other papers; the Inter Mountain is
sustained to boost certain few and
assist the News, and its conception
of boosting is to knock the other fell
low. So far as the people are con-
cerned, they get in each paper only
that which appeals to their prejudices
neither paper will give, even in
news item, a straight account of any
matter in which the facts conflict with
its own interests, and affairs are now
so complicated in Salt Lake City that
nothing can happen in which the diff
ferent factions fail to run against each
other. The result is that there is
continual conflict in both news and
editorial columns OF the Salt Lake
papers and the public picks the kind
of prevarication it prefers. Salt Lake
City is none the better off for the
present attitude of its papers.-Logan

Subscribers Must
Be Paid In Advance

Inspector Mel informs the Courier
that beginning Jan. l the p%ostoffice
department would rigidly enforce the
regulation requiring all publishers to
strip their lists to paid-in-advance
subscribers. All subscription lists
will be subject to a rigid scrutiny and
if delinquent subscribers are found to
any extent the publisher will be fined.
A breach of this regulation in the
east recently cost the publisher a fine
OF $4,000.
The Courier has no ambition to be
fined and before Jan. l we will remove
from our lists every name not paid in
advance. This is q matter of neces-
sity and not choice, as we are COMPEL
ed to meet this rigid regulation. II

have been emphasized during the last

that they are to conform to the laws
upon the statute books, and that NO

who break the laws. This shall be Sc

There is not a manure spreader on
the market that we have not had al
chance to buy, and in fact have been
urged to buy, but we firmly believe
that the Success is by far the best Of
all. AS an evidence Of this we will
say that We "a buy any other spread
er on the market for less money and
not have to pay freight from New
York state either. But our belief is
that quality is what the farmer wants,
and that they will not hesitate to pay
a few dollars more when convinced
that they will more that get their
moneys worth.
Space is too short to describe fully
the good points in detail, but if you
do not own q spreader, don't put it
off any longer, as you are loosing
money every year, to prove this ask
any man who has run a spreader for
three years. Now we will make
favorable prices and terms, and you
may as well be earning some money
this winter as not. We don't ask you
to buy a Success because we are SELL
ing them, and unless we can convince
you that it is the best machine on the
market, it isn't the one you want.
But we do ask that you investig ate
carefully, and buy a spreader. You
can't take fertility out of the soil for
ever and not replace it; and the soon
er the farmers realize this the better
it will be for all of us.
Its a little off the subject; but we
are over-stocked on Sharples Cream
Separators; (another money maker)
if you a use one; better get in
while the stock we have on hand lasts
as we are willing to make prices and
terms that will move them. If you
need a separator, we a sure make a
deal.
