Show The editor of The Dispatch is under un-der deep obligations to Judge J. D. Jones for the strong article we have taken the liberty to appropriate as our leader today, on tbe subject of removing the capital from Salt Lake to this city. We are quite sure the article will be read with deep interest by not only the regular readers of this paper, but by all who f sel friendly to the move. We would that the article in question could be placed under the eye of every member of the legislature as well as every citizen of Utah. Tue Salt Lake papers yesterday finding find-ing that ridicule is not argument, had nothing whatever to say anent the removal of the capital to Provo. In the field of plain logic and eyeryday common-sense they can find no objection at all to the scheme, while they will there find reasons mountain-high and as numerous as the sands on the sea 6hore, why it should be so moved, Colorado neems determined to dump her Utes upon us, and congress is evidently evi-dently playing into her hands, if they do, there will be a great many new arrivals ar-rivals in the happy hunting grounds at once. There will be "good Indians" to giye away. We don't want 'em. It seems that our own Dr. Maeser is taking a forward place in church matters in California. His is, indeed, one of the leading minds in the west. A truly great and truly good man. Blands's seigniorage bill is about to pass and they do say the presidenfjrjW sign it. If so that is the GriTv, glimmering of tbe light of retiA.. good timeB for the silver west. The blizzard, though a late arrival, seems to be making itself thoroughly at home all over the west, save in Provo, where it has not, as yet, put in an appearance. The Dispatch congratulates the new postmaster, W. D. Roberts, Esq., upon his recent appointment which Proyo ratifies. Pkovo, the beautiful capital of Utah. It would eound well. We can have it. Let all work, Tennyson on Spring-. We have the word of Alfred Tennyson Tenny-son for it that in the spring the young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. It is singular that the srreat laureate omitted to mention the fact that it is in the spring that a considerable consider-able portion of the human race turn to taking Hood's arsaparilla. Probably nothing but the difficulty of finding a good rhyme for that invaluable remedy deterred him. Certain it is that the old-time domestic remedies are generally gener-ally discarded in favor of the standard blood purifier, Hood's Sarsaparilla, which has attained the greatest popularity popu-larity all over the country as the favorite favor-ite Spring Medicine. It purifies the blood and gives nerve, mental, bodily and digestive stiength. A Trotter's Heavy Internal Handicap. When the French barn on Lake street was burned a few months ago, a valuable valua-ble horse, a trotter, lost his life. The animal was valued at from $1,500 to $2,-000. $2,-000. In the course of events the body was turned over to the rendering company, com-pany, and in preparing it for rendering a curious discovery was made. In the 6tomach was a stone that weighed loj pounds and was as large as the top of a silk hat. Dr. E. S. Kelley, commissioner of health, who examined the stone, is interested inter-ested in it and will endeavor to secure it for the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sciences. The doctor says that each suc cessive layer can be traced with ease, and that if the stone were to be sawed in two it is soft enough to admit of such an operation the layers would be distinctly dis-tinctly marked. In all probability the growth started first from a nail, a pebble or some other foreign substance that had been taken into the stomach. The successive suc-cessive coatings came frqm the efforts of nature to rid herself of the obstruction and the process of growth is not unlike the pearl in the pearl oyster. Minneapolis Minneap-olis Journal. A determined effort is being made by school principals and the press to stamp out the cigarette habit in the public schools. The vice has obtained a firmer grip here on boys from 8 to 14 years old than in any other city in the country, and the results are seen in the remarkable remark-able increase of criminals of tender years and of deaths from what the doctors doc-tors call the "cigarette heart."
