Our Telephone Number, 4H1. have not taken away your high priv-ilege, but only lifted it to a higher plane and exalted the station of the great American birthright." This is an eloquent way of repeating what General Grant in his own simple words recommended in his last presi-dential message, namely, to make the right of suffrage depeudont upon the ability of the voter to road the constitu-tion of this country, and there are plenty patriotic and sensible people who are in accord wilh this principle. The fate of the republic rests upon the intelli-gence of the masses, nnd in a country where education is as free as the air we breathe ignorance should no t be placed on an equality with it in the highest privileges of citizenship. The objection we have to the Mississippi plan is that it is aimed at tho disfranchisement of the colored man without corresponding test to tho ignorant votor in other states. What a revolution in our politics it will be to extend the educa-tiod-test throughout the union. THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN. A colored man, whilom the body ser-vant of Jell Davis, Montgomery by name, has risen to his full physical anil intellectual height in advocating tho latest Mississippi plan of disfranchising tho black man, by establishing an edu-cational qualification for the right of suffrage. "We are well aware," said Montgomery, "that our race has not yet attained the high plane of moral, intellectual and political excellence common to yours, but it is our privile go to press onward, and upward. It is tho lack of confidence in the adjustment of political economy, proposed by you, that keeps up the race solidity. With-out a restoration of confidence I can see no solution to this groat problem." He believed the virtual effect of the pro-posed measure would be to restrict one hundred aud twenty-fou- r thousand voters and eleven thousand white, giving a net white ma-jority of forty thousand, and ho said: "It is a fearful sacrifice laid upon tho altar of liberty. Many of these men you seek to disfranchise I know per-sonally. Their hearts aro as true as steel. Many aro soldiers who have stood amidst the smoke of battle on bloody fields in defense of tho flag which every American proudly hails as the ensign of freedom and the talisman of protection in all civilized lauds. I want to say to my people, we any one of them, the right to prostitute the local columns of that paper for the base, villainous and lying defamation of certain persons connected with The Times? We wish to ask if ever a reputable journal permitted a subordi-nate employee to vent his personal spleen in tho manner that employee of tho Tribune did day after day without being repudiated or discharged? We wish to ask if the Tribune knows or tried to learn that the calumny pub-lished in its columns against the pro-prietor and editor of Tun Times was a calumny calculated to give pain to the families of tho calumnied without provocation or the slenderest warrant of fact? We wish to ask the Tribuno what its code of journalistic etiquette is, and what it would say if The Times permitted a reporter, discharged for cause, to attack the editor and pro-prietor of the Tribune in a manner of-fensive, insolent, personal, persistent and false like that? We wish to ask if tho Tribune wants to have the odium of introducing this feature in local jour-nalism? We wish to know; that's all. A suit for damages in the modest sum of $25,000 has been brought against the proprietor of The Times. This be-ing a free country, any man is at liberty to ask for a little pocket money like . that, and if he but live long enough he shall get it. AU things come to him who waits. The proprietor of The Times will, at the proper time,' take care of the suit and the suer. In the meantime, we wish to ask the Tribune when it has delegated to its reporters, or A Mammoth Orchard. American Fork Independent . The Independent has all along urged through its columns the planting of large orchards in this locality, and tho fruits of our articles aro now beginning to mater-ialize. Mr. John Gushing, secretary of our chamber of commerce, has taken a great interest in the subject and with the aid of Bishop Cutler of Lehi has enlisiod tho interest of John Beck, the million-aire mine owner. Mr. Beck moves very cautiously in such matters and not un-til his return from a trip to California, a few days ago, did he arrive at a decis-ion on the question. Ho investigated the fruit interests there and saw that it was a bonanza investment, he then spent a few days looking at tho orchards In this locality, and as soon as he viowed the only well regu-- a ted orchard in Utah county, that of Wm. Wadley, ho decided that this val-ley was far superior to California for certain kinds of fruit. Mr. Beck says the California fruit is no comparison to Utah fruit for size and flavor. The va-rieties that Mr. Beck found to be most prolitiible here are pears,.plums and prunes, and he decided at once to util-ize some of his valuable land by plant-ing an orchard that would compare fa-vorably with some of the bonanza orch-ards of California. ' Last week ho closed a contract with Mr. C. E. Powell of this place, general agent of the Smith, Powell & Lamb nur-series at Syracuse, N. Y., for 07,000 frnit trees to be planted out early next spring. This will occupy 420 acres of land and will without doubt be the larg-est and most complete orchard between tho Pacific coast and tho Hudson river. There will be about teu acres of varieties of cherries, about 10 acres of peaches and the balanco will be in pears, plums, and prunes. This is an orchard that will do more to es-tablish the fruit industry in Utah than anything that could be done. When men of the means and judgment of Mr. Beck take hold of these matters it is an encouragement for others to go in on a smaller scale and we hope to see fully 1000 acres planted out here next spring. Lot us give a few figures what this orchard will do at the end of three years. It will support three large can-ning factories, employing over 600 hands, which will can 8000 cans of fruit a day. It will pay out for holp $1500 per day or about $40,000 per month. It will' furnish a local market for the product of our sugar factory to the extent of 12,000 pounds per day or about 0J0 tons during every season, it will put in circulation from $200,000 to $100,000 annually and save to Utah the sum of $(i()0,000 evory year which is be-ing sent out of the territory for canned fruits. In addition to tho profits to be deriv-ed from such an orchard Mr. Bock will have an orchard which will be worth to him $100,000 in four years from now and will pay a big interest on that sum. This orchard is to be planted near tho city of Lehi, and will do much for that place. Let our Ameaican Fork farmers, who a'e able, take hold of tho fruit question in earnest and not lot all the benefits of this great industry go to our sister city. Mr. Bock deserves great credit for doing so much for his native town, but more still for doing something to estab-lish the fruit iudustry in this territory. CLIPPED AND CONDEMSED. On the occasion of the recent fete at the country seat of a wealthy woman all the cows on the estate wore necklaces of wide, yellow satin ribbon and had their horns tied with narrower ribbon of the same color. Higgs, Crossley & Wearring have started work on the Silver Chief under their lease. Thirty pack animals took up their supplies on Monday, and wo hardly expect to see the boys again un-til they have worked through to the vein. A sad spectacle was witnessed in Santiago, Chili, recently, when hun-dreds of Italian immigrants, just arrived from Tttlcahuano, implored passers-b- y for alms, some of the men offering their coats and shirts for sale in order to procure something to eat. A recently formed union of sandwich-me-n in London is calling for the sym-pathy of those who think that the pic-turesque figures seen between boards aro living a hard life. If tho union would parade in line of its 300 strong it would make a novel show. Three years ago a lake in the Moose-ja-district, near Ottawa. Canada, which was more than a mile in circum-ference, disappeared entirely from some cause. A farmer purchased the lake bottom and has this year raised a mag-nificent crop of wheat upon it. "The great lace manufacturing con-cern of Wooten & Mosely, of Notting-ham, England, is to bo removed to Seranton, Pa., whore six acres of html have been given for a location. The plant will bo as extensive as that at Nottingham, which employs 3,000 per-sons. Mrs. Livermore says that her hus-band is a republican, while she is a pro hibitionist; he is a protectionist, while she is a free trader; he has a pew in one church and she in another; lie has one doctor, she another; and yet they are happy and harmonious and never dream of quarreling. It has been computed, as an illustra-tion of the great cheapening of ocean freights which has taken place m re-cent years, that half a sheet of note paper will develop sufficient power, when burned in connection with the triple expansion engine, to carry a ton a miles in an Atlantic steamer. A remarkable occurrence happened in Lewistown Me. A little fifteen-year-ol- d boy was in swimming near tho falls while tho Cowan mill was shut down. He started for shore just as it started up. The extra How of water threw him toward the falls. Before he could re-cover he was swept over. He was not, strange to say, injured to any ex-tent. He swam to tho bar and was res-cued by a boy. A desperate horse thief in Maiuc, who escaped from jail, has been cap-turo- d by boy, .Discovering him, they gave chase and' cornered him iu a de-serted house, where ono of tho I oys drew a toy pistol and fired several blank-cartridge- s at him. The fellow then gave himself up. A carriage was obtained and he was returned to jail oy the triumphant youngsters.

One of the most important problems that congress will have to solve soon is the demanded under the late census. Just now the tariff bill obscures all other measures, but once out of tho way the bill will take its place. We ex-pect a long and stubborn Jight to be made on any proposition that might be presented, because it will to a great ex-tent involve the supremacy of tho re-publican or democratic party during tho next ten years. At present it seems quite certain that Mr. DunncU's bill, which Tub Timks has heretofore quoted, will bo the basis offered for re-apportionment since that member is chairman of tho census committee and is depended upon as an authority in the matter, and we believe it will pass with-out radical change although some of tho leading republicans are opposed to an increase in tho membership of the house which is already an unwieldy body as it now stands. Ton years ago the house of representatives was in-creased from 20il to 325 members al-though even then some objection was made on the ground that it would make too largo a house in which, to properly transact tho public business and that the tendency should be downward, rather than upward, as regards num-bers. At tho ratio of ono representative to each 180,000 population, as Mr. Dun-ne- ll proposes, congress would add twenty-nin- e to its present numerical strength. But while it is conceded that the best iuterests demnnd a lessening of congressional representation, both par-ties will on the other hand be governed by the effect of the proposed reappor-tionment upon tho vote in the electoral collego, and as tho Dunuell bill prac-tically assures to tho republicans tho election of the next president, they will scarcely yield their advantage even though the efficiency of the house be impaired for another ten years. Under this bill the electoral college will gain forty-on- e members and the political complexion will stand thus: Total electoral vote 41" Necessary to elect, AHHumed republican vote aiH AsHumed democratic vote 1H1 Doubtful , m Of which New Turk casts as Indiana in Connecticut West Virginia 8 It will be seen that the republicans would have to carry but ono of the doubtful states, bo it even the smallest, like Connecticut or West Virginia, to assure their success. With such an in-ducement appealing to them we believe Mr. Dunnell's reapportionment bill will bo adopted. We notice a gratifying interest that is being taken in the fair next month. Keep it up. Ik the suicido epidemic in the Ger-man army continues at tho present rate Franco may yet have her revenge for Sedan. Now that the republicans in tho house of representatives have, a quorum let them keep it, and congress may be able to adjourn next week. The tailor's strike at this time is a, calamity for the young men in society. Some of thorn do not care, however, so long as tho pawn brokers do not strike. It is a pity that in her enfeebled health and at her age Mrs. Fremont should be compelled to accept private charity. It is more of a pity that her ions should permit it. WrE doubt whether the knights of labor will join G. M. W. Powderly in his cheerful conclusions regarding tho New York Central strike. The less said about it tho better. Sugar is the article at which the con-ference committee on tho tariff halts. Sugar is tho article at which many a committee halted and on which many a bill stranded. Sugar is tho phantom of politics. ' Chaff still catches some birds, and the Wall street gamblers know it, hence the periodic reports of some gigantic railroad transactions sent out to the world. When tho birds are caught tho reports subsido and the bold operators bag their game. AOI.K Kock, Sept, 22. 1800. Editor of Tub Salt Lakh Timks: Dear Sir Will you kindly inform a subscriber to your valuable paper what year tleneral Sedtf. wick was killed, and who had commund of the army of the Potomac at the time. Respectfully, H. L. B. General Sedgwick was fatal'y shot at Spotsylvania in the year 18(14. General Meade had immediate command under Grant of the army of the Potomao at that lime. Ore Nhlpments. Tellurido (Col.) Republican. There were 241,525 pounds of ore shipped out of Tellurideby Dave Woods betwoon last Friday morning and Thursday (yesterday) evenlnp, making about twelve carloads. When you take into consideration tho fact that this ore runs M00O. M0(K) and J5000 per car, you see that our little camp has a pretty good output. A OKIM COI.I.KCTION. In yesterday's Times tho announce-ment was made that the sale of the Vereshagen collection of paintings vill take place in Chicago within a short time, To most of us the name of the artist is scarcely known, since his work is of recent date. In 1877 he was an ofllcor in tho Russian army and as such participated in the campaign against Turkey, whore the horrors of war so deeply impressed his sensitive soul that he determined to reproduce them on canvass for the purpose of arousing the sentiment of the world in opposi-tion to wur. Accordingly he depicted tho most revolting scenes of the battlo-tiel-and the result is a realistio but grim and ghastly coll ection of pictures. No ono looking at any of his subjects but what feels a chill running down his spinal column. There is no loud fan-faronade, no waving of standards, no victorious cheering, but the deserted Held with the pale, bleeding and niau-glc- d victims of carnage alone left to plead in muto eloqueuco tho lesson of human barbarity. In Vienna the effect on the populace was so Intense that the archbishop caused the exhibition to bo closed, on the ground that it inflamed the mind. Iu Chicago tho paintings will be viewed in a calmer mood, but for all that they aro a grim collection. Bekoke the German Catholic con-gress yesterday Key. Dr. liueeholer aid Catholics had no use for the public schools. In this tho reverend gentle-man Is certainly mistaken. Catholics may prefer their own parochial schools, but they acknowledge tho use of the public schools and thousands avail themselves of it. And the over-crowded condition of the public schools in almost every city from New York to Salt Lako proves tiiat they are contin-ually growing in favor. The Man Who Falls. Los Vegas Dally Optic. It is the who com-plaiu- s of hard times. When everybody is rushed, it is no trick to securo cus-tom; it is when his neighbors are idle that the man who has wiselv kept his name and goods before the public, finds himsolt so well known that he gets his full share of what patronage is to be had. Colohado kickers should bear in mind tho history of their standard-beare- r in the pending state election. Au esteemed contemporary calls atten-tion to tho fact that Routt, who has been again chosen to lead tho republicans of Colorado to victory, was tho hero of the greatest political battle fought in that state. The first election . in Colorado aftor its admission in 187(1 was held in October. The national campaign was at its height. Indiana and Ohio, then October states, had di-vided honors between tho two parties, and desperate efforts were made by each to secure the prestigo of a victory in Colorado. Koutt commanded the republicans aud was elected the first governor of tho Cen-tennial state. Tho actual result of the election was not definitely known until the eve of the November election. . The democrats persistontly claimed the state, bulldozed the press agents and succeeded in keeping the issue in doubt until its effect on the presidential con-test was lost. The election of Koutt, despite the tremendous odds pitted against him in 1870, proved his great qualities as a leader. In calling him to the front again tho republicans propose to score a triumph surpassing that of fourteen years ago. UTAH NOTES. Logan's new opera houso will bo "Hold by tho Enemy" on the opening night. Tho Reaver Utonian would improve its typographical appearance by laying iu a supply of em quads. The leader of the Lehi silver cornet band is very ill with fever aud the pound cake and peaches and cream which tho Lehi girls have sent to him would glut a dime social at Springvillu or a calico festival at Provo. There are many reasons why the Og- den Standard used a column of solid minion to define "a gentleman." It is thought, however, that tho principal reason was because of the sanguinary newspaper war which has been raging in the carnival city. American Fork Independent: An east-ern sharper, sent a citizen that resides within oue hundred miles of American Fork, a circular offering to sell him $4000 in treasury notes, warranted to bo as "good as gold" for $3o0. It is needless to say that tho gentleman re-ferred to read' the papers and did not invest. A bold robbery was attempted nt American Fork Sunday night. Watch-man C. Phillips of the Peoplo's co-o-discovered burglars in the store. lieu he attempted to enter, however, he was knocked down and the robbers escaped. There is nothing so precise a precision, and the local reporter for the American Fork Independent will be given the us-ual reward for excellence in any particu- lar line. He says: Phillip was knocked down "with a green apple tree club, which was thirty-thre- e inches long, live and one-hal- f inches in circumference and one and one-hal- f inches at the small end." |
