Saints will commence at io oclock Friday morning, October 5th, jSSS, in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City. The officers and ' members of the Church are respectfully incited to attend. A meeting of the Deseret Sunday School Un on will be held at the Taber-pael- e Oil Friday evening, October 5th, one of the Priesthood on Saturday 6th,' and of the Young Mens Mutual Improvement Association on Sunday evening, October 7th, Latter-da- y er V Ilford Woodruff, In behalf of the Council of the twelve Apostles. It is certainly a tact that there are many interesting if notfexcitjng incidents and events transpiring in Nephi and other parts of our field of which we learn nothing and which wquld be highly appreciated by our readers, and not only by them but by outselvs, if. we could publish them. VVe are often compelled to publish selected matter when these happenings, which, by the way, include many things that might seem to the interested parties very trifling, such as a transfer of a piece of property, a sociable, a slight accident or nearly an accident, a suggestion of change or improvement in any part of town, excursions or amuesments of any kind, births, presentations, gifts, parties changing place of residence, leaving town or coming here to locate, improvements lio matter how trifling, and a hundred and one other things, would be far more preferable, It is well understood that a country paper is not in a position to be able to pav a person whose exclusive business shall be collecting local news, and even if it were it would be impossible for one man to get on" to every thing, hence we kindly ask all interested in the welfare of The Ensign to call at the office, speak to the editor or any one connected with the paper when seen , or send through the mail any item, important or otherwise, that they may know, We can at least promise that it - win never bqentirely unprofitable to those portlcs who will do this. ' Any article received, no matter how brief or how extended will be carefully edited before being published, hence parties who are not practiced writers need have no hesitation in sending in any thing. If matter is suitable for publication, it will be given with or without signature at option of sender. We claim to be able to catch on to all the jokes that will be likely to be played upon us on the strength of this gentle reminder. And the complaint comes again. "Why is it that The Ensign never publishes estrav notices?" The answer is, that our pond keeper thinks he gets his notices before a great many more readers for the same money, by publishing them in a Salt Lake paper. True he does, but The Ensign is read by nine persons iq pur immediate yicinity where a Salt Lake paper is read by one, and by publishing this paper the estray notices in chances stand in just that proportion, that the owners of advertised cattle and horses wij! see or hear of the notices and it costs no more money to have them published in our own county paper than it does to have them published in a Salt Lake paper. It is not our fault but the fault of the pond keeper that the estray notices are not published where tbey ought to be. We are gradually becoming conyinced that there i more than talk jn the assertion that everybody in a country town knows more about running a newspaper than the editor himself. Our conversation with parties of late has chiefly been receiving advice as to Jrow to run The Ea'Sign. We have, confidence in our own ability in that regard, and would feel much more pleased if our friends would suggest belter means of getting remuneration for our work an items of news, or furnish us work, instead dictating to ns just lion' the paper ought to be run. The sound of the following sentence (taken from an encyclopedia js pleasant. 'In giving notice of birth, nurtiage, or anything directly pertaining to yourself of this nature, to the newspaper, it is courtesy always to enclose, wiili the same, a dollar bill,' CORPS LAND REVIEW, of Representatives or not is an open question, some members expressing the opinion that it will, while others assert the contrary. One member of the committee is strongly inclined to the opinion that the bill will be defeated in the committee room, and those having the interest of the great Northwest at heart should hope that his opinion will prove correct. A case was decided by the Assistant Secretary of the interior a few days ago which illustrates the theory that it is good faith that counts in perfecting enand hometries under the stead laws. Lafayette Grim, of the Niobrara land district, Nebraska, filed his declaratory statement May 25, 1886, alleging settlement the day before. He established an actual residence on the land with his family June 1, following. On January it, 1887 seven months and ten days from beginning residence he submitted his proof ayd offered payment for land, the proof showing that his family had been continuously upon the land from the date when the residence thereon was first established, but that Grim had personally been absent from the land at work two months during the time. The total valuation ot imdollars. provements was thirty-fiv- e The register and receiver rejected the proof and refused to allow him to enter the land on the ground that his improvements were so meagre and the law does not permit absence from the land dui-in- g the six mouths preceed.ng proof. This decision was afibtned by the Commissioner (Sparks) of the Genera! Land Office, and the filing was held for cancellation. On appeal, Mr. Muldrow, Acting Secretary ot the Interior, found that the improvements, as described by the claimant and his witnesses, were quite as good as those usually made by preemption claimants, and that the furnishing of his house indicated an intention to make a permanent home, and that the valuation of the improvements at $35 was very modest; so, in view of good faith of the claimant, lie ordered the final papers to issue. From this it is to be inferred that the Department will not permit the fixing of a miuimun of improvements, and that officers in passing upon the sufficiency of proof must use discretion, and act in each case in accordance with the law and the facts so that justice may be done to all; m other words, they must, like the Mikado, in Gilbert & Sullivans operetta, tmnUVuMU b th crime." JMr. Holman's Suspension Sill A Case in which Good' FaJh Wins the day, Mr. Holmans bill to suspend the operation of the public land laws, which formed tbe subject of njy last letter, has riot yet emerged from the room of tire Committee on Public Lands, where it vvas sent at the time cf its introduction. Whether jt will be passed by the House demoralization is such that the Trunk line pool and the Central Traffic Association have practically ceased operations. Weakness and selling 111 important Western stocks continue, but the marked improvement in the coal trade helps many stocks. On the whole, however, the situation does not stimulate the demand for securities offered by projectors of new roads. Nor do returns of foreign trade promise the imports of gold which are usually expected in the fall. Exports from New York fall $1,200,000 behind last years for the last week reported, and 14 per cent, behind for the past five weeks, so that a further excess of im. ports over exports is indicated. The accounts from interior cities continue decidedly favorable, differing from each other mainly in the rate or extent of improvement in trade. As to collections also, while some complaints appear, the general tenor of reports is more favorable. The increased demand lor money has caused some closeness in the niaiket at Baltimore, Cleveland and Nashville, but at most points the supply is ample, and the demand m rderate. The treasury has taken in during the week two millions more than it has paid out, but the p tyment for $5,000,000 bonds purchased has not yet been reported.

For the corresponding week pf last year the figures were 174, made up of 152 failures in the United States, and 22 in the Dominion of Canada. Why dont you run a paper like that? a grocery merchant said to a reporter the other morning, throwing out a Chicago daily. For the same reason that you don t rim a grocery like that, the reporter replied, turning to an advertisement of a Chicago house showing a twelve story building: The grocery man looked attentively at the picture a moment and I never looked at it that then said: way before. "Once upon a time two workmen were wending their way through a street in Gateshead to their woik.
