- We are glad to see that there are
Senators in our state legislature who think
that $50 is not compensation for publish
ing the "copy" laws. A bill has been in
troduced to allow $50. If no better price
can be had, we hope the bill will pass, but
we think the amount might be doubled
once or twice more, before it would more
than pay for the work done and service

man so happy as to be out of debt


There is no condition that pesters and


bothers a man so much as to be in debt.


and have his debts past due. A man that


is man feels twice as well over paying q


debt, as he does in contracting the debt


The man who contracts debt whenever


and wherever he can, with no prospect or


preparation for paying. is just no man at


all, and is not fit to live in any community


outside of the wild savages of the western


mountains. It is not a very bad sign for


man to contract debt, but suspicion


begins to fall upon his heal when he fails


to pay at the time agreed on. The rule


should be with everybody, never contract
debt unless you are sure to meet it at


the contract time. You had much better


wear old clothes, much better live on cheap
er food, much better do without those lux
uries and conveniences, than to be in debt
beyond the time agreed for payment. But
how many there are in this community
who are in debt to the merchant and me-
chanic, and their debts past due, and the
reputation and the business of the merchant
suffering for the want of it, and you can
pay. now, and could have paid long ago
ard all this comes from nothing but care
lessness. The merchant made engage
ments upon your promises to pay, and if
you fail he must fail, or borrow money at
a great inconvenience. Now is the time
to pay up, being the beginning of the year
case your conscience, and establish your
self, as punctual, prompt business man.
Watch the countenance of the merchant
when you are payingup an old debt How
good he feels how pleasant he looks, be-
cause it enables him to pay up the debt he
contracted in the first purchase of the
goods that you have had for months un-
paid for. Are you hesitating between pay
ing debt or buying something of con-
venience that you can do without? Do not
hesitate any longer, but pay the debt first.
Once out of debt you are on the road to
prosperity. The money you owe does not
belong to you, it belongs to another. You
cannot keep and use the money of another
man, and be contented and happy. You
can never prosper, you can never think
we'll of yourself, nor others think well of
you, while you are in debt, or while your
are Withholding from another what honestly
belongs to him. No matter what the ac-
count CIR debt is for, go and pay up at
once. And finally, be more careful about
getting into debt in the future. Getting
into debt is followed with so much unhap-
piness, it works upon your mind, it en-
barrasses you in your business, there is
nothing that perplexes you so much as be-
ing in debt; then avoid it as much as pos
sible. Just try it. Buy nothing bat what
you can pay for at the time, and see how
much better off you will be at the end of
the year. Better pinch yourself, and in
your own way, than be pinched by the
officers of the law, or by an uneasy con-
science. Better pinch yourself and come
out independent, than to be hampered all
your life, by the practice Of getting into
debt for things you might have done with
out. Farmers and everybody, pay up now
and take our advice for the future, and
nobody will receive as much benefit from
it as yourselves.

RESULT OF ORGANIZATION Cleve-
land Leader says Gen. Beatty's success at
the recent election for member of Congress
in the eighth Ohio District was due in a
great degree to the systematic organization
of the district, which extended to every
township, and so thorough was this, that
a few days prior to the election a poll Of
the vote was taken, which made Beatty
majority eight hundred, which was little
modified by the official result. The Re-
pubicans knew that the eyes of the nation
were upon them, and each one fought like
veteran. We want just as close an or
ganization in this state, in every county
and township, and must have it.

A correspondent Of the Deseret News,
writing from Heber City, Wasatch coun-

extraordinary case of exposure:


On Sunday, 10Th ult, young man


named John Lee, started on foot from


this city to 60 to Heber city. On the


Tuesday following he was at William


Kimball's and started from that place to
60 over the mountains. A heavy snow
storm coming on, he lost his way in the


binding drift, and travelled in the snow
from Tuesday till Saturday, when ex-


hausted nature could endure no more,
and he sank down. Thinking that he
was going to die, he sought hole where
he might lie and not be 50 exposed in mis-
last moments as he would be on the level
snow. Here he was covered by the snow
drift, the storm continuing, until he was
completely buried in, how deep he did
not know, but believed there was about
five feet of snow over him. In a state of
partial Inconsistencies he lay until Tues
day morning, as he afterwards learned,
when he thought he saw the sun rising,
and with the thought came hope and a
desire to dig his way out. He had ON
two hickory shirts and two heavy coats,
but in his efforts to free himself from the
snowy tomb in which he was buried, his
clothes were worn through, and the skin
and part Of the flesh were wern off his
elbows. As he got his head above the
snow, he saw man coming down from
the mountains, to whom he made signals
and this person, young man named
Galloway, from Rhoads' Valley came to
him and helped him out Galloway then
started for the nearest house, at Hall
stones ranch, some three miles off, for
assistance. He found some teams from
Heber City, and Lee having been got
down to the road where sleigh could
get to him, one of them took him ON
