Show At this time vendors of cheap religious insignia nre liable to be on their regular house-to-house canvass for the sale of their cheap ware. Calendar Calen-dar fields, too, who promise large results from advertising, ad-vertising, come at this season of the year. The Intermountain Catholic would warn its readers to be slow in investing their money in all these modern mod-ern devices. i !The unfortunate strike in the coal regions of Colorado has extended to Utah. We were in hopes that the amicable relationship between employer nnd employee would not be disturbed at home. What ihe result will he remains to be seen. To preserve I peace and order the governor has sent the Utah national guard to the different coal centers. This f was a wise precaution -on the part of the chief I executive. Destruction of property, or interfer- I once with those who are willing to work, should I not be tolerated. The workingman, in his efforts f to bettor his condition, has the sympathy of all classes, but any recourse to violence or illegal actions ac-tions will lose for him all sympathy. That such has happened, and necessitated the sending of the militia is very unfortunate. To maintain order in I . ihe state, and justice between the coal companies j and the strikers, required a vigorous and efficient j action on the part of the governor, and every law- abiding citizen will applaud the course he has taken. t T Bonaparte Wyse, the French engineer, to whom Colombia first gave the privilege for a Panama canal, is wrathy over the action of the United States in recognizing the right of the Panama republic re-public to secede from the parent state. lie appeals to European countries to protest against the action ac-tion of the Washington government and use their influence to have the matter arbitrated at The Hague. Apart from the intemperate language used by the Frenchman, there can be no doubt but his charges are, to a great extent, just. It looks as if our government connived at the action of the Pan- ama revolt, by its immediate sanction of the newly- formed government. The least sanction or encouragement encour-agement given by foreign governments to the secession se-cession movement has been and is today a sore point with our own government. But, come to think of it, might is right, and selfish motives are I the underlying principles of governments as well ! as of individuals. Mr. Wyse's appeal for sympathy sym-pathy to European governments will be in proportion propor-tion to the commercial advantages or disadvantages ! which they hope to reap from the great canal. - 1 It takes a long time for a paper published in Ireland to recognize American humor. Here is the latest from the Dublin Freemen: "The 4back to nature' cure seems to be the latest fad of people who liave nothing to do in America, and who imagine im-agine that they are unwell. During the season which is just coming to a close, at the colony at Milton, X. J., according to the Daily Chronicle, 'there have beecn sixty patients. There are no half measures about the treatment ; they go the whole hog, so to speak, at Milton. A coat of tan is the only clothing cloth-ing worn, and the diet consists of nuts and milk, no cooked food except broad being allowed. The ''doctor's"' treatment mainly consists in burying his pntionts in shallr- graves with a thin coating of earth for a cowl;). TJhis philosophy is summed up in the nphorir-' .: -.Some people think it shameful shame-ful to go about iirr-sed. It is more shame to be sick." lie also has strong opinions on the sub-I sub-I jeet of soap, which is never used at the colony. ."If I nature had intende" that we should use soap she would hare provided it.'" Nature, it may be re-' I maikod, did not provide bread either, only wheat, j or did nature provide dollar bills, as the Chron- r - (. icle remarks, 'yet the "doctor" seems to be doing very well.'
