A foreign concern, the Slate Journal of Lincoln, Neb., got the contract far printing Unlaws Un-laws of this Slate. This is a condition of affairs the odor of whose rankness ascends to high Heaven. Are there no print shops in Utah? If so, are they notcapable of doing such work? The State Board which made this award ought to be proud of itself.

A few words and I hose far between be-tween would tell the story of recent re-cent developments in electric light matters. It seems to have vanished from the minds i f the people altoget her. But such is not the c ise. The project is quietly "soaking", to use a vulgar phrase, and will bj finished up as soon as the crops are harvested and tho beet money ready to spend. The idea will bo found in good condition, and when the citizens get time to read about it, find fault, discuss and satisfy doubts, it will not have suflered. If electric lights were anything any-thing but question of economy; if they were not a matter of business busi-ness to every citizen in his every day life, it might, be different. When the little gallon coal oil can resume?! its frequent and regular trips to I he grocery store at 25 cents per trip, things will look different. The man who goes down into his jeans for the two bits will occasionally look at tho little hunk of silver and wonder how much of it pays for coal oil and how much of it goes to pay dividends of the coal trust. His wonder will shortly bcome curiosity, and curiosity soon becomes acute. The coal oil Irust never yet satisfied any man's curiosity in regard to its affairs, and this is no time for it to begin. Hence it will come about that the citizen in making bis weekly twenty fivo cent contributions will think of .the little electric-lamp, electric-lamp, attached to which there is no tribute to commercial pirates and in regard to which there is nothing he may not know if he desires. Then will discussion quicken and action begin to take form, and the thing go through to success with a whoop and u hurrah. THE PARK CITY EXTEXSIOX.

It is quite a problem in many Stales to know what to do with the convicts. Lab.r unions and other workingmen's organizations organiza-tions protest if they are brought into competition with piison labor la-bor in any of the lines of manufactures. manu-factures. At the same time the inmates of the "pen" must be doing something for their support. sup-port. Collier's Weekly claims to know the solution of the problem, and tells about it as follows: Two torments of all States convicta . and bad roads have been set to abating each other in North Carolina and the results re-sults are said to be entirely satisfactory. sat-isfactory. The men were in better health and made less trouble while working than when idle in prisons, and there was none ( f the ouftomary complaint com-plaint that . convict labor was depriving honest men of work, for nothing would have been done to the roads had not the convict labor ' been available. The same experiment has often been made successfully in New England towns, the workers being be-ing petty offenders in the local jails. The only object ion to the system has been the extra cost of guarding the prisoners, but when the jailors were fit for their business no such expense wits incurred. Were the system to become general, it would probably do more than any other "terror of the law" to restrain re-strain the average cf petty of-fendors, of-fendors, for this class hates and fears nothing so much as hard labor. As to the bad roads, they can be found anywhere. Work of this nature waiting on every hand would do much to discourage the hobo in his endless wanderings and impositions. impo-sitions. THE BEEF THVST. The cattlemen of Utah are no strangers lo the ways of the beef trust. They have felt the effects of its manipulations many a time, and have wondered why they were comparitively powerless power-less to help themselves. The St. Louis tilobe-Deinocrat makes the following pungent statements state-ments concerning this trust: Tho claim made in mitigation of the offenses of certain trusts that they tend to cheapen the prices of the products that they handle does not apply to the beef trust, ut any rate, and it is one ot the worst in I lie country. It does not help anybody in any way except the capitalists of hoi ii it is composed. The methods by which it operates ire directly opposed to the in-it-refcts of bolh producers and consumer.''. It fixes the prices at wbii h live steers sell, pushing push-ing them down to actual C03t or less, and dictates the prices at which dressed beef sells, forcing them up to tlia highest notch. The law of supply and demand does not cut any figure in itsj proceedings. Its prices are ad-1 justed without the hasticgird in i In' number of entile raised or the pre ailing ra i of consump- j t on The cattle raiser is obliged I to take what it prescribed, ber ' cau-e it also controls the sales to retail dealers, and is able to shut out competition. In many cases, dealers have been forbidden lo handle any other beef than that furuirdied by the trust, um1t penalty of having new-stores new-stores started to run them out of business. It is hard io believe that an organization whii-h thus perpetrates a wrong .hi the producer, the retailer and the consumer cannot be reached with the anti-trust law. Several attempts have been made lo secure se-cure action against it in federal courts but they hav all failed. Somehow it is al.vays impossible to obtain tho necessary witnesses, wit-nesses, or, if t be witnesses are found, the ingenious lawyers of the trust make thtir testimony useless bv pointing out some alleged defect in the law or in the court records. The processes pro-cesses by which the mischievous work of the trust is accomplished are largely of a secret nature to be sure, and hence difficult to trace and expose; but there is reason to believe, nevertheless, I hat the task can be performed if men of proper ability and integrity in-tegrity shall undertake it. As the mailer now stands the trust practically has things all ils own way. It Makes the price on the cattle, hogs and sheep of all the farmers, and the price of meats at all points where ils refrigerator refrigera-tor cars are unloaded. This is a situation which urgently calls for a remedy of some kind. If the present anti-trust law is not equal to the emergency then a new one should be passed that will be effective. The matter is one that concerns all classes of people in a positive and serious wav, and it will not do to sav that such an evil is one that the government is powerless to deal with. liurninjr, itching skin diseases instantly in-stantly relieved ly De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, unequalled for cuts, bruises, burns.
