4 Kindly Act.

1t has been said that "the evil that
men do lives after them: the good fs
oft inferred with their bones" But
truly it might be said of Lincoln that
he never did evil. and that all his
good acts are remembered. During
the war Of the rebellion, when lis
trials and horrors pressed in on the
heart Of the great. homely man in the
White House, it would have seemed
as tho he had more than any one man
could do, and yet almost every day of
his life simple little acts of kindness
that most great men viii not pause to
contemplate came in his way TO do,
and be did them. F'orty-sercn years
ago just such A thing happened.
Friends same to President Lincoln and
asked him to employ in some Govern
ment capacity Miss Susan Dugger, a
young woman of Collinsville, Ill. who
was the sole support of her brother,
a Union soldier who was wounded and
crippled TO- life at Shiloh. In April
! S54, President Lincoln wrote a letter
to the then Postmaster-General ask
ing iiim 10 make this appointment
and he did so. Miss Dugger got the
position, and preserved the letter re-
iigiously. a short time ago Miss Dug
ger'.; name was ordered dropped from
the list of Treasury employees, as she
had been i'll for more than a. year.

Feagh this letter, penned by Il hand
that for one-half a century has been
dust. The letter was brought TO Secre-
tary MacEeagh's attention by Senator
Cullom. and after reading it the Sec
retary Of the Treasury ordered that
Miss Dugger be retained as an chi
ploye. and she will have her place and
salary, even If she is never aple to
work again. She is now 20 years old.

THE WOOLMEN'S FIGHT.

The woolmen of this region have
been a long time in waking up 10 their
holplessuess under the tariff law passed
two years ago They joined with the
manufacturers monopoly in the cam
pajgn to retain the wool schedule pre-
cisely as it was under the Dingley law
but. almost Immediately on the passage
of that law wool began to go down
the wool men had TO store their wool
in the East, and got but little benefit
from that storage. They were in the
hands of the wooIen manufacturers
combine. which determined the prices
it would pay, and which has kept
those prices down from the time of the
passage of the new law until the pres.
cnt.
And now the wool men are rallying
to the support Of that same old
schedule, without any guarantees for
themselves. apparently anxious still to
trust their fortunes and their industry
to the tender mercy and care of the
worsted woolen manufacturers com
bine, which necessarily will have to
buy their wool
The fact that the wooden manu-,
facturers combine has direct and
powerful interest in depressing the
price Of WOOL and that the wool men
cannot help themselves as against any
thing that the manufacturers combine
may do in the manipulation of prices,
does not seem to weaken the zeal of
the wool men in behalf OF the wooden
manufacturers.
IT seems to us that the first step for
the wool men to take is to get some
guarantee of protection for themselves
as against the wooden manufacturers,
rather than to go hand in glove with
the latter and allow them to dictate
the situation in both directions The
wool men of Idaho, of Wyoming, and
of Oregon awoke TO the situation 4
long time ago. It is about time for
the Utah wool men TO wake up and
find out where the wool has been pulled
over their eyes, and take steps TO look
out for and protect themselves.

REVERSING EMIGRANT TIDE.

One result of the Utah exhibit at
pected as it is unique. 1t is the re-
versal of the constant direction of
migration since the first settlement of
America from Europe. Hitherto the
direction of pioneering and colonial
tion has been from east to west; but
now we are Offered the view of a
direct invitation for colonization from
west to cast Special rates are given
from Los Angeles to colonists and
prospective settlers to Utah points, to
take effect Immediately upon the close

last long enough for homeseekers to
look about them and make up their
minds what to do. The tickets will
have twenty-five days. limit, and
will reach as far into Utah as Lynndyl
the heart of the dry farming region.
This is a noteworthy departure from
almost universal precedent since the
settlement Of this country. 1t is note
worthy in that respect, and it is espe-
cially gratifying that it is made to
take effect for the benefit Of Utah
We have colonists' rates from the
East every year, but now, for the first
time, we have colonist rates from the
West. 1t is distinct reminder that
we have no longer any frontier, that
the country is settled and occupied,
so far as pioneering is concerned, and
that the days of the ''first settler"
are numbered. There will be no more
of him. The first settler has already
been in possession for many years, and
now all that any wave of colonization
or of settlement can hope to do is to
bring in his SUCCESSORS.
1t is to be hoped that Utah will de-
rive much benefit and profit from this
new step, and that Los Angeles will
have plenty of good people to spare
to give us some substantial bomeseck-
ers and desirable citizens to become
identified with Utah

THE BUCKShIN RANGE.

The report comes from the "Arizona

got into the Buckskin mountains, and
have procured from the Forestry Bu-

leges in that great range, The sheep

resent this invasion Of their range, and
are appealing to the Chief Forester.
They demand that they shall not be
driven from their old ranges in behalf
of Californians, or of anybody else.
Those southern men also have cattle,
and those cattle have habitually
ranged in the Buckskin mountains in
the summer season. 1t is a great range,
with abundant forage, and it is nat
ural that the Utah men. who have been
accustomed TO feed their cattle on that
range, would want to preserve their
use Of it.
All of which shows, with the San

MOBILIZING AN ARMY.

We notice that the military experts
of this country do not join in the
hilarious opinion that we have done
an astonishing piece. of military work
in mobilizing without much delay an
army of something like 10000 men on
the Mexican border, These experts
know two things bearing directly upon
this move First, that it was not made
with great military speed as compared
with what other nations could do on
much larger scale. The Emperor of
Germany, for instance, could call out
an army Of million men and have
it mobilized on the French frontier in
week. Presumably France could
have as great number on its frontier
to meet the German advance Italy
could, in the same time, have at any
given point In its area an army of
100000 to 100000 men. Austria could
doubtless mobilize three. quarters of
a million on the Turkish frontier
within week Russia could equal the
German million in about the same
tiHe, dS opposed ellner 10 turkey, TO
Austria, or TO Germany.
And so, from the military standpoint.
our exploit in massing division on the
Mexican frontier is a small matter. If
we should invite the admiration Of n
German, Frenchman, an Austrian, a
Russian, or an Italian military expert,
and point to this little massng Of a
division on our own frontier as some.
thing great for Il great nation to do,
he would laugh at us, We, of course,
do not need any such tremendous
masses of troops as the European ma-
tions appear TO think that they need,
and at any rate, keep up; but we need
a good many more soldiers than we
have, especially if we are to keep the
Philippines and to man extensive for
tihcations to defend the Isthmian
Canal.
As reply to the criticism that we
could not mass a division Of troops on
the Mexican border with anything like

way, Il success, although much speedier
