As proof of this we cite the testimony of the official stenographers of the German Reichstag, during whose debates on the tariff and other emotional subjects, some of the blue-eye- d speakers brought it to 180 aud 200 words per minute & feat the more marvelous if we consider that the Teutonic language contains words like It takes more rapid transit to get over such words than over sauerkraut undhratwurst. lkarx, from tho Beaver Chroni that a new weekly, entitled the Beaver Watehnan, will be issued there by Joseph Field about tho 129th inst. and thereafter every Wednesday-"Iis the purpose of the publisher," says the Chronicle, "to furnish the cle, t people of Beaver County, and South , em Utah generally, with a All of independent newspaper." which we hope will be fulfilled.

The prompt action of the authorities, in the face of the recent communist demonstrations, indicates that the government is prepared to take sharp issue with the commune and wipe it out simply because it can. A man dare not entertain an opinion hostile to the government in France, for far he might in an unguarded moi ment let his secret out, then off goes his head. That nation has doubtless gained something by its change to a republican form of government, but the liberty of individuals cannot be counted as among its gains.

Atone word from me they would have hurled themselves on the enemy and cut tneir way through or have fallen to a man with their guns in their hands. But I could not permit it.
