As wasjexpected, the Dirt Stinger, sometimes called the Tribune, has commenced to berate Judge Emor.-ionaud now divides the usual abuse in i's columns, between His'Houor and the 'MormoH Priesthood." It will not , publish the Judge's rcceut decision, though publicly requested so to do, and gives as a reason that His Honor did not direct the Clerk of his Court to send that sheet a copy of his opinion. The other Salt Lake' papers clip' ped it, as we did, from the Provo Time. The I). S. says it would publish tha decision now but it'would be '.stale news." That's the first funDy thing wo have seen in its columns. What else but stale news can ever be foijpd in it, barring the fragmentary telegraphic dispatches? Old, musty, stinking yarns about "Mormonisra and the. Mormons" are hashed and rehashed, day after day, in the 1).

There is, however, no proof or admission of polygamy in tbe record of this case, even if all the depositions taken be admitted. In this connection. Gen. Paine argued that polygamy is not a constitutional disqualification; that neither. the States nor Territories can prescribe or change the qualifications of representatives or delegates in Congress; that, of course, the Legislature of Utah hud not made polygamy a disqualification to the othce of delegate to Congress; that it pulygamy could he made a disqualifica-lioby Statute, it could only be so made as a punishment for crime, upon trial, conviction and sentence according; to law; (bat no statute makes polygamy, whether with or without trial, coavic tiou and sentence, a disqualification for the office of delegate to Congress, or for any ether office; that the House alone eauoot prescribe a disqualification for membership, its power being te judge of, not to create, such qualifications. As Endowment oath even to tbe if taken by the sitting member, of which there is no proof the testimony clearly shows that it docs not disqualify those who have taken it for holding othce; that there is nothing in it in the least inconsistent with perfect loyalty to the Government of the United States. Gen. Paine said he had argued this c tse. and referred to depositions taken by the contestant as if they were admissable. liut they were not. Not a single deposition taken by the contestant in this case is Tbe depositions competent evidence. he has taken were taken without lawful notice, and objection was duly made. All the contestant's charges, therefore, were - wholly unproven. two-third- s n THE F1KST X AT UK A LIZ When people want news they go to x:i 31 OX GO LI AX. the other papers for it.

One reaches from the station where the machinery is located to Eastern Square, the term nus of the London and North Western railway, a distance of ono mile and thiee quarters; ana the other to the General Post Office, not quite a mile distant. The tube is a flattened horse shoe section five feet wide, and four and a half feet 'high in the centre, the straight parts of the line being made of cast iron, and the curved parts ef brick, faced with cement. The wagons are ten feet, four inches long, and conform in shape to the tube, the difference in area being about an inch. This is made up by an iudia rubber flange, causing the carnage to fit .tight to the tube,,and forms a piston for the action of the air. A steam engine with twenty inch cylinders and a twenty inch feet, stroke, drives a fan twenty-tw- o revolution in six inches diameter, one of the engine giving two of the fan. This forms the propelling power and is governed by valves, the trains being drawn by exhaustion and returned by pressure. The atmospheric tube works like a charm, and is a great saving over steam locomotion.
