is presumably, at this writing, within

he is welcome to the inner side of Our
high barbed fence.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that dur
ing the gentleman's stay here the
Mormons will behave, there being no
fear as to the other class. 1t is es-
pecially desirable that they leave their
gurs, knives, slungshots, billies, and
so forth, at home for the time being;
that they place such restraint upon
their natural propensity to carouse
and swear and do things offensive to
genteel folk as will make such con-
duct less noticeable than usual, and if
t could be so controlled as to do
without such demonstrations alto
gether in the visitors presence it
would be all the better, although there
is no intention herein to ask for too
much. lest we get not enough. De-
stroying angels will kindly leave their
wings and Pandora's jugs in their re-
spective wardrobes at home. 1t is
scarcely necessary to suggest, in view
of the visitors well known antipatny
to such things, that no man be seen
walking along the street with more
than one wife at time; and school
children must not get in the way or
they may be run over.
A grand banquet is to be given the
late Senator this evening, at which,
as only personal friends and admirers
are to attend, no especial precautions
for his safety are needed. There will
be eating, drinking, speeches, cigars
and soulful commingling galore. No
doubt the advice of Robert Burdette
to a budding newspaper writer will
be followed, viz; incidentally, don't
