We read the following posthumus story of the late King Kalakaua, which if not true, is characteristic of him anyway. A Pacific roast minstrel, Hilly Emerson by name, once visited the Sandwich Islauds and delighted King Kalakaua with his performances. The sovereign and the funny man became friends quickly, and the king asked Emerson to the pal-ace, A game of poker followed, of Bourse, for if Kahikaua liked any-thing il was poker. Humor had it that Emerson won quite a pile from the Hawaiian ruler. That each held some strong hands was soon known in Hon-olulu, for the next night at the .theater Emerson put this conundrum to the end man: When will three aces heat four kings?" The end man gave il up, and Emerson explained that ho held the three aces, while the hand against him confuted of the king of cluhs, the king of diamonds, tne king of spades, and the king Kalakaua. The royal poker player was in tho theater, and, true to his easy good nature, laughed heartily instead of frowning at the joke. ADVUtTISIMi ACCIDENTS. The new state of Idaho is destined to great things. For one so young and small it displays a prodigious amount of wisdom and novelty. The fame of one of its favorite sons who, from the floor of the legislature, proclaimed the new economic principle that brain must receive no more remuneration than muscle, already fills the land; and now comes another Solon with the bright proposition to compel "certain em-ployes of railroad companies to report and make public the injuries and deaths occurring on trains or resulting from railway accidents, to telegraph the same to all principal points where they must bo posted in a conspicuous place." The father of this original proposition is one Price, mill he is a jewel without price. We expect to hear moro from him in the sweet bye and bye. We don't know the precise wording of his Instrument, but if it provides that the list of accidents be kept standing as an advertisement in the press at the ex-- i pense of the respective railroads, Mr. I'rice may feel assured of the most en-thusiastic support of the country papers. Jo make the scheme still more effective he hhould cause a full de-scription of the agonies of the wounded and tho mutilation of the dead victims to be posted with the rest. If that does not enhance the safety of travel, it wiil at least tend to frighten the people uway from the rail-roads in Idaho, and w hat if the. tratlio should be stopped altogether? There will then be no accidents, aud Mr. Trice will have solved a mighty problem with j his little resolution. Great I'ricu ! 1IA(K IS UTAU. Considering the Intense craving for sensational news and the morbid appe-tite for excitement obtaining in thii country, it Is no wonder that an enter-prising scribbler in the east should seize upou tho "mormon question" to toll tho tocsin's loud alarm and prepare the nation for another w a r. What of it, if we in Utah, where the conflict is to be met, don't know anything about it; what if we pursue our peaceful everyday voca-tion r hi i v it) ns of the danger that hangs over us. Illustrated America says there is e,ing t" he war in l'tah. and we might as well know it. According to that au-thority President WoodrulT says "the doctrine of polygamy is still their (the! mormon i cardinal doctrine, and they are ready to light for it." The war correspondent of TllK Tiwk, notwithstanding a must diligent search, failed tn discover the munitions of war and the material of carnage heaped up in any place, and yet it must be caaled somewhere, for says not Illustrated America in deadly bre-vier that the tone of President Harrison is pacific, the mormons warlike: "lb: proposes to legislate; they want, to light." 'Tho prospect is awful. Listen, yo doubting ones. "To up-hold that principle these simple farm-ers are prepared to butcher women and children, and as for fac-ing troops, they are taught every Sunday iu their meeting houses that a collision Is inevitable, and they hae long been prepared for it." The Illustrated American receives its information at firsthand, for hearken further. It says: "Observers in l'tah say that the collision raniit be de-layed. The hope that polygamy would die a natual death has proved to be vain. The ulcer must be cut out with the sword." So tho doom, as will beacon, is decreed and there is no es-cape from it. Just the same thorn will lie no exodus from l'tah. Tho people already here will look after their mines and farms and factories, and stores, and families, anil will be happy. Everything iu this territory, from the o.ouu of the mountains to the returns of the Salt-Lak- e clearing house is calculated to make them happy. Tho atrocious lies of an irresponsible scribbler evoke nothing but ridicule or indignation here. Indeed his falsehoods are so bra-zen aud bold and so wanting even in pretenso and decency that The Times hesitated long before it decided to notice, not to say refute them. Hut capital is timid ami the experience of this territory is that ow-ing to the systematic misrepresentation of blacklegs and moral assassins, auy libel however hellish and monstrous is liable to tind credence with some peo-ple. And capital is proverbially timid. Hence The Times, Liberal in politics and gentilo iu belief as it is, protests against the vile aud wicketl cal-umnies published about the mormons of Utah. There is no nnre peaceful region in the union; none more remote from rebellion or war. There is no see- - tion in which life and property is safer. President Harrison is surely better informed than the sorry scribbler who writes for a fee to injure our interests, on the conditions of this territory. The fool or knave.

WICKED MONTE CARLO. Anotherer ruined fcreigu count, has blown his braina out at Monte Carlo. If he had more brains in the lirst. place he would have kept away from Monte Carlo. Indianapolis Journal. It begins to look as if the Monte Carlo gambling hells would have to go the way of thu 'Louisiana lottery. Tub-li- e sentiment ia running so strongly against them that the authorities will be forced to take action. And yet pessimists say that the world is not glowing better. Philadelphia bulle-tin. Suicides are becomingly frequent at Monto Curio. The latest case is that of a Puissian who lost wiO.OUU rubles at the gaming tables. Hut there need be no tear on the part of those who run this resort of any loss of patronage. The supply of fools is proportionate to the demand. Boston Post. There are many more suicides, we an; told, at Monte Carlo, the great gam-bling hell of Europe, than come to light. Many a poor wretch loses everything unit blows bis brains out, whose death is never recorded. The roulette ball spins on, however, winning money and losing lives, utiinlerrudted. Wheeling Register. It is thought that France may take advantage of the public feeling and seize tho little principality and annex it to the republic. The prince is said to be fearful of such a proceeding, and yet hesitates to lessen his revenues by abol-ishing the famous gambling den, whose mauugers really control the principal-ity Kalamazoo 'Telegraph. That Russian who blew out his brains at Monto Carlo after losing HOO.udO rubles at the gaming tables ftarted out, it Is evident, with more money than brains. Having brought himself to the condition where he had more brains than money by blowing iu his money, he at last succeeded in restoring the balance by blowing out his brains. Pittsburg IMspatch. The gambling principality of Monaco is in danger from European indigna-tion. Just now the number of suicides is very great, and small atteniion is paid by the proprietors of the gambling hell there to the sepulture of tho unfort-unate victims of the vice. It is sug-gested as a heroic remedy that France seize the little state, as its ruler is afraid to dut an end to irainblinir because all his income is derive from that source. Washington Critic. Prince Albert 'h rich monopoly is in danger of disturbance. Tho business he carries on, attracting adventurers and their victims from all parts of the and resuming in the financial ruin of many of its infatuated devotees, is be-coming thoroughly obnoxious to the better sentiment of all Europe, this growing prejudice having been accen-tuated by numerous tragic suicides from time to time, that seen to have no more effect upon the mad whirl of fashionable life in Monaco than other ordinary and commonplace incidents.

Gentlemen, you are fool-ing with a two-cge- blade. .. Salt Lakkiis may yet enjoy a brief season of sleighing if old Sol 'does not demur, It now looks as though he would not demur.

The wealth of mining resources pos-sessed by southern Wyoming is one of those subjects, oid yet ever new that can never be exhatrsled. It is freshly called to mind by the assertion recently made that the Keystone and Douglas creek camps are giviug indications of proving as rich as the newly discovered mineral belt on the north side of the Snowy rango.. The Keystone mine is probably the best known and most steady producer iu this section of the state, and to all appearances its real value has not yet been demonstrated. It .has yielded in the past and is now yielding good The Florence, Little Nell ami other mines have so often astonished the operators that there is no telling what thero may be in the future. Some of these mines, while not so reliable as the Keystone, have at times developed pockets of wonderfully rich ore; these occurrences have been so freipient that on tho whole they have made a brilliant record, and the miners are full of hope for the future. One of them, in which no vein was discovered, has regularly rewarded the workers with pockets from which free gold in fabulous quan-tities has been secured stitlicient to prevent its ever being" abandoned. From this field on to tho mountain itself, magnificent placers are found in every gulch, where nuggets scraped from tho Snowy by prehistoric icebergs have been deposited and sunk deep and thick in the soil. Up on the side of the range is the silver belt in which lies the old Telephone mine. Here as we have been told for tho past decade, and of late with more confidence than ever, is to be built up a silver camp greater than Leadville one that is to be compared only with the famous silver mines of old Mexico and South America. Just across the range, on the north side, is the Brush creek camp, from which wonders are expected next spring, and beyond this and scarcely less notable, the discoveries on the Grand Encamp-ment and other tributaries of the Platte. Immediately across the Colorado line, forming a part of the same treasure laden territory, and a part of southern Wyoming in all but name, is Indepen-dence mountain. Teller, and other camps that arc destined to make their mark when the era of development is actually begun. Pkkkkkr is an editor. That's one rea-son why he might "get there." "llui-l- e Joe." New York Star. Joseph E. McDonald is down here from Indianapolis on legal business, and is stopping at the Fifth avenue hotel. Out in hoosierdom the democrats call him "Uncle Joe." Ho is one of the finest old democrats in the west. He is a reminder of the olden time, both in the cast of his counten-ance and in the collar, cravat and other articles of his raiment. His kindly face is well known to the country by the numerous pt r. raits which have ap-peared, especially when a national democratic convention is at hand. His rotund and rubicund coun-tenance beams all over with good nature, although men who have stirred up Uncle Joe, either in congress or on the hustings, know that at times he can show a good deal of force aud warmth. He has a large head, linely chiseled features and keen gray eyes, and he shaves smoothly save 'for a fringe of white beard under his chin. After (ho old style, he shaves himself. He carries an old fashioned gripsack, which sometimes contains papers worth thousands of dollars. Sometimes it does not. Once when I met the just after his return from a stump-ing tour in the west, he said he had very little information and very little of anything, adding with a twinkle in his eyes: "In fact, there isn't anything iu my old satchel except the usual prop-erty of a democratic campaigner, a shirt and an empty bottle." The Ogden Liberals have put up their candidates: they can elect every one of them. Why not! Mr. IngalM feitrreya the Situation. St. Lou la Star Sayings, "What do you think of the press comments on your great speech, Senator!" he was asked. The thin face was covered with a smile, and he removed his hat as if to cool his big brain, while ho did some thinking. "I can only say that I am glad I ut-tered my sentiments with no uncertain sound," he replied. "I have been say-ing tho same things for years, but in piecemeal sndWi jo clearly. Iiesides. it makes a g.r.eat deal of difference when and where a man says the same thing. I never heard any body remark before sibout Washington having been the richest man in thirteen colinies, though I have repeated it often. Hut uttered in the senate and at this time" -- with an emphasis on "this time" "I have heard it ocho from mouth to ear, from press to people, all over the American continent." "Vou are going to Topcka to mend your fences, I presume?" "Scarcely. The fences are all tight and in excellent repair." "But you are going to spy out tho nakedness of the land?" "Not by any means. Kansas land hasn't got anV nakedness about it. Don't yon know its soil is among the most fertile in tho world, aud that Kan-sas stands away up in tho rank of corn ami wheat producing states?" 'The great man smiled at his own joke aua at tho apt way in which he, Scotchman-like- , had turned question with question. The reporter didn't smilm but he tried again. "What do you think of your prospects of "To tell you the truth," was the re-ply."! am not lvine awake nights both- - enng my head muen about them. A large majority in the legislature are friends of mine and have been for years." "What do you think of the Kansas legislature?" "It's all right. Somo of the mem-bers are new hands at the business, but take the body and it's an aggregation of good sense. That's what we need. We have plenty of law. Xow, sup-pose wo inject a little common sense, subcut.ineously. into the legal system." "Are you thinking of moving back to Kansas permanently?" "No; not unless tho legislature in-vites me to." The motor cars struggled heroically with the snow blockade and raised it. It was their first experience with the wintry element and taught them a practical lesson. The dark lantern proceedings of the , Kansas farmers will never do in this 'country which abhors even the secret executive sessions of the senate though they are sanctioned by custom. Tub Infant son of Kaiser William was baptised yesterday, receiving the names of all the emperor's allies so as to re-member them when ho grows up. He may have cause to remember them ere then. It is reported on good authority that Division Engineer McCarthney is to re-open tho Union Pacilio ollice here, w hich, if true, would mean that the completion of th Milford Piocho exten-sion is an assured fact. SocletUa for Parks and Playgrounds. New York Star. There are two societies in Brooklyn that I believe do not have their coun-terparts in any other large city of the union. They are those for fountains and tree planting and parks and play-grounds for children. The former has done much to give Brooklyn its pecu-liar attraction of streets, aud the latter is prepared to lead pub-lic agitation for the benutification of some of the now unsightly public squares. Fresident S. H. Duryeaiscon-tiden- t this project will ba speedily car-ried out. "We shall expect," he says, "the co-operation of tho public authorities, but our reliance will not bo solely upon them. We have received numerous and liberal promises of financial aid in carrying out our project of providing pretty public playgrounds for the chil-dren of the city, and much of our work will be dono at private expense. We will soon issue an address to the people asking them for their moral support and for monetary assistance." A roRiiNi; to programme the pre-vailing storm is to extend to Senator I il gal Is who is to be snowed under to-day. The weather predictions are not always vended but wo fear this one will lie. PfefVer will succeed the pep-pery statesman. Doea Ik Kpally Pay, St. Paul Pioneer Prima. The organization of a third party to carry out a reform is very much like the introduction of a third party at a lovers' tryst. While it may be mighty embarrassing to the two who have a reason for being there, it doesn't do the Thk clearing house returns for the interloper any good. past week do not show up as hand-somely as we might wish, owing main-ly to a decline in New York. In all probability tho violent storm which prostrated trallic had the same effect on other business. It would be an agreeable disappoint-ment if Senator Hearst, in spite of the doctors' prognosis. shou!d recover, lie is better today. Vet it must be remem-bered that is the nature of caucer and gave hope whnn no cause for it enisled iu the last illness of General Grant. W hat Is Expected. Epoch. What is perhaps the most irrational and unsatisfactory of all our Indian "wars" is drawing to a close. It ought to be the last of the series, but it will ouly lie so if its lessons are turned to good account, and the light of public opiniou is let on in the secrets of Indian mismanagement. These se-- j crets ought lo be laid bare without re-- J sped to whom they may hurt or help, The publics mind is in a more receptive mood for instruction on this subject than it has ever been. aud. as between the humanitarian and the. military theory of Indian administration, there is a good deal to be said. Hut, in deal-ing with either, it must be remembered that the country exnects u imlom enough from those entrusted with the duty of Indian administration to render impossible any such outbreaks as those which of late have had such tragic con-- i sequences. The Seventh cavalry regiment is :in- - fortunate, it was decimated on the Little Uig Horn by mistake; it was hurt tn Wounded Knee creek by mis-take, and yesterday it met with a rail-road accident through some one's mis-take, fortunately, the latter was nut eerious. When the announcement was made tn the house of representatives that the election bill had been defeated in the senate the democrats, as the telegraph reports, gave cheer alter cheer. Just so. It meant a score of fraudulent members to them from the solid south. JS"o wonder the re beds yelled. Calling In KoKlsnd. New- - York Ledger. In England it would be tho worst possible form for a gentleman to call on an uumarried lady and ask the ser-vant if she is at homo. He must always ask for the mother only. A gentleman is never asked to "call again soou," but he is told: "I hope we shall see a good deal of you." In Knglaud, cards are left only when the person called on is out. They are never sent in before the caller, if the person called on is at home. For husband and wile to have both names on one curd,-"Mr- . and Mrs. .Jones," is very bail form. So it is for unmarried ladies to have sepemte visiting cards of their own. Their 'names should be engraved under the name of their mother or of some other married female relation. In Kngland one's address should always be on one's card, in smaller letters, "in tho right lower corner. We might enumerate a thousand other peculiarities, but we have cited enough to show that an American citizen could not easily ac-quire what in Kngland is called "good form" without an expenditure of time that could be put to a better purpose. ... v If the emperor of Germany reads the American papers he will be" surprised to learn that he is a very sick man and liable to be disabled from governing any day, in which cass a recency U al-ready prepared for him here. Mean-time the young fellow continues busi-nes- s at the old stand. One has to go away from home to hear the news. No I'lace for tlie Lecturer. New York Sl.:ir. "New York is the worst city iu the country for tho lecturer," said an em-- j ployee of a lyccuiu bureau the other day, "and Philadelphia is one of the best. Jioston, however, is the only city that can furnish a paying audience at a matinee lecture. On the whole, Penn-sylvania is the bet state for lectures. The lecture goes best in towns of from IHkio to 20. OIK) inhabitants. However. Pittsburg is a good lecture town, ami even Chicago takes strong attractions, The theater-goin- people do not nt-- ' tend lectures, and vice versa, so that j the method for advertising for thealti-- cal attractions does not work in the case of lectures. New Kngland is hardly so good a field for lectures as it once was, but thero is still a lareo lectur-e- going community iu all Yankee cities." DKKKATKI), NO MAirKlt. At no time since tho opuniugnf the senate debate ou the election bill did we believe it would pass, so that I he de-feat of it and of the allied closure rule yes terday is not a matter of surprise to us. Iiut whether successful or beaten, the principle involved in the measure is not shaken, and will force itself on the attention of the American people some day when it is perhaps the least desira-ble. Universal suffrage in the south is a farce and a fraud si long as a consid-erable portion of the voters is disfranchised by intimidation and violence. The question then is, how long will the majority of the peo-ple bear this imposition without re-monstrance? As for closure, the inci-dents of the last few days furnish the most convincing proof that the existing rules are inadequate for the prompt dispatch of the public business if a de- - termined aud unscrupulous minority sets its face against it. We note with pleasure that the bull-dozing tactics adopted in the south in withholding tho appropriations for the world's fair until tho election bill shall be disposed of, had no influence what-ever upon the vote, the bill being de-feated by a smaller majority than it was laid aside two weeks previous for the consideration of the silver bill. So let the obstructionists rejoice.

When the bonds were voted in 1S80 it was thought by many that the city had given the company about all the bonus in land and franchises it could afford and that the fresh demand for $1."0,000 in bonds was considerable of an extortion; but rather than remain without, a depot any longer the people stretched a point and granted the demand. And now they have Hobson's choice, to keep out the Milwaukee and Hock Island roads or do without a depot, the Union Pacific dwsa't paxe which. Jay Gould is a sly j vnpf. ,, lanran nf I'umpkiu."

His home is ou Pumpkin creek, and he is known us "Duncan of Pumpkin." Did any old feudal swoll have a name of terri-torial nobility that was sweeter in the month?
