Geore H. Harris, a Selt Lake City
correspondent of the Washington Star,
glvea an Interesting review of the alt
uation la the youngest mate of the
Amerl-an republic, which ha- great
possibilities) for future development.
Mr. Harries says:
Utah'a atatehood la very young yet,
but then- Is no denying it vigor.- As a
territory Utah was a powerful factor
In western affairs, but statehood de
veloped mind and muscle to such an
extent that any unprejudiced observer
must adroit that of all the many active
trana-MtasQuri candidates for capi
talistic and commercial favor Utah la
abreast of the foremost. It Is among
the possibilities that ten years hence
abe will bit ii the lead. Hoodooed by
polygamous Mormonlsm. she was
avoided by the cautious Immigrant,
and evn by the capitalist who was
seeking desirable investments, hut
atatehood removed the hoodoo and
opened the gntes for an Influx of brawn
aad. capital which promises to exceed
1 In desirability and volume a or of the
. Immlgratlvft floods that peopled other
sections beyond the Big Muddy. That
Utah win achieve phenomenal material
Bucoefj la sure, tor the smte's busi
ness structure Is securely based on that
most solid of foundations agriculture.
Mining operations and manufactories
will do much to make the forty-fifth
I- Mate famous and wealthy, but tt la
the farmers and the stock raisers who
:. will ; be depended upon to oontribute
", most heavily to the general welfare.
. It is the history of nearly all western
communities in the mining regions that
agriculture was merely a consequence
, of Immigration, and not Its cause, but
that would not be true of Utah, for
there the natural greed of man was
held In check by the strong arm of
Brlgham Young. Born to rule, and em
inently fitted for the work which was
his, Brlgham Toung saw Instantly that
mining In Utah would have to be dis
couraged If Mormonlsm was to have
a chance for its life; the opening up
of a few rich veins of mineral would
bring Into the land of the saints Im
mense numbers of unsanctlfled ones,
who, by precept and example, would
make the government of the Mormon
church a very difficult piece of bimi
ness. It was, therefore, ordered that
Mormons should devote their energies
L to th cultivation of grain, hay. vege
tables, fruits, cattle, horses, chickens
and children, and that edict was, in
the main, faithfully obeyed.
SHEEP HAVE WANDERED AWAT.
But the day the coming of which
Brlgham Toung feared has arrived; the
day when there should be In Utah a
power great enough to rope with the
Mdrmon church. Slowly and lth
great difficulty some of the most valu
able gold and silver leads in the coun
try have been developed, and as a logi
cal sequence men have Journeyed from
all narti tt tha oarth to TTfnh to pnlnv
the treasures which nature snares wnn
' so many of those who are willing to be
working partners. The governing
power of the church declined coinci
dental with a renewed demand for
statehood, and made an exhibition of
its loss of strength In the elections
which followed Utah's admission to the
national sisterhood. Perhaps It wasn't
much of a revolution, bt It was enough
to set some folks to wondering how It
came about. There was really nothing
mysterious about the transaction.
When congress threatened disfran
chisement the church authorities saw
that unless there was official disavow
al of polygamy there would undoubt
edly ensue all sorts of complications
and embarrassments, so these ecclesi
astical leaders notified their followers
to obey the laws and to become at
tached to one or other of the principal
. political parties. Now, in my mind,
those leaders were not sincere, but they
did not dare whisper a suspicion of
their desire to be merely politic, so it
has come to pass that a great majority
of the Mormon church has tasted of the
aweets of political liberty and now re
fuses to go back to the old-style feed.
It Is unquestionably true that the great
dignitaries of the Morran church
would like to have all the sheep return
to the fold that they might hereafter
be guided to the polls In accordance
-with the latest "revelation," but the
, sneep seem to De nappuy aeai and are
likely to continue so.
POLYGAMY IN DISREPUTE.
That polygamy will ever again se
cure a foothold In Utah I do not for one
moment believe. The state constitu
tion, of course, forbids polygamy, but
.- that document may be classed with
. the least of the obstacles that stands
In the way of plural marriages. Cur
aory Investigation will show that many
state constitutions are used on occa
sions only, and cannot be regarded as
reliable guides or directors in matters
pertaining to public or private moral
ity. Did nothing but the state consti
tution obstruct the poiygamist, It Is
' aafe to aver that the odious offense
would be as common In Utah to-day as
it was prior to the enactment of the
Edmunds law. Strangely enough, the
strongest opponents of polygamy are
" the educated young Mormons who are
.'. the offspring of polygamous parents.
Faithful to the religion prescribed in the
Book of Mormon, this young element
has set its face, rigidly and unswerv
ingly, against the practices which
Brlgham Young deemed essential to
true greatness In this world and In
the world to come. The inexperienced
. may. perhaps, be swayed by cleverly
worded disquisitions on the advantages
to be derived from polygamy, but all
the eloquence of which mortal tongue
Is capable would fall to charm any con
siderable percentage of the rising gen-
A1atlnn ftf iMnnnAna har.lr v.

ttletp nrnarpnltorn! a hnnrtnera tn u,t,l.h
' w w. ...v..n UHn 111,.; IIIV
' thousands of Ignorant women unwlll-
Ingly submitted. V, v
It must not be imagined, though,
that polygamy has been wholly stamp
ed out in Utah, or that the, Mormon
church has cast off those Who disobey
the law. When the Edmunds law was
. enforced; a large number of "the per
secuted," as they styled themselves,
moved away south Into Mexico, and
ently contented. Others stopped in
Arltona and New Mexico. Some went
east and settled In Colorado, where
they are unmolested even to this day,
ls although their polygamy Is uncon
t toaled. Those who remained in Utah
and there are many tjeh have to be
extremely circumspect, but their ten-
,3ncy Is toward carelessness Just now.
L because there Is not yet any effective
.'statute to succeed the United States
law, which died when Utah was ad
. .'routed.
'"'Purely business reasons make It cer
tain that polygamy can never, again
', flfinrtsh In Utah. Capital la timid, and
, although the average Investor looks
' mainly at the promissory returns, he Is.
nevertheless, willing to be reasoned
wfth by those great moral forces which
are unquestionably active In the United
States 4nd which would surely be ex
j? rted adversely to Utah In case lax ad
s' ministration of the law should bring
bout a-renaissance of polygamy.
'f That ; Mormonlsm non-polygamous.
-of .course will control Utah for some
1 time tot come Is- reasonably certain;
nothing els could be. expected when
the fact Is borne In mind that Utah
has until very recently been a Mormon
possession. Had the territory been set
tled by any other sect that sect would
doubtless have and exercise that same
control which Is now. as a rule, in Mor
mon but loval American hands. A few
of the old fellows for years associated
with Brlgham Young, and, thererore
thoroughly saturated with his -doc
trine -are doing what they can to be
obstructive, but the .combination of
Gentile and Young Mormon is remorse
lessly pushing them to the wall. A few
first-class funerals would, however,
help things along amasingly. If the
progressive majority could only be ac
corded the privilege of nominating the
occupants of a dosen .or so expensive
caskets Utah would Jump ahead ten
years In twelve months, but as that
cannot be there must, for awhile, be a
trifle more of strife than Is necessary
to the proper conduct of public affairs
In our newest state.
Comparatively tew people In the usu
ally well-Informed east have anything
like an accurate idea of the living, up-to-date
Utah. With an area exceeding
82.COO square miles Its population in 18K5
was 247,824. of these hustlers after
fortune 126,80.1 were males and 120.521
females: 194.825 native and 52.499 for
eign born; 24u.S5 were white, 571 were
colored and 768 were Chinese. The
number of farms in 1894 was almo3t
20,000 and of these nearly Ix.flflO were
free of Incumbrance. Fully 470,OuO
acres of land were under cultivation,
while nearly 300,000 other acres were
fenced for pasturage, on which, with
a trifle of assistance from the unfenced
ranges out In the halls, nearly half a
million cattle, horses and swine roamed
and grazed: not to mention the two
and a half millions of sheep which In
1894 produced nearly a million dollars'
worth of wool.
MINERALS AND RAILROADS.
Then there are the minesVeld, sil
ver, lead und copper being the princi
pal products, although the mountain-)
of Utnb have within the bosoms every
known variety of mineral. The o itput
for thi past year was something to bo
proud of: Silver, seven and a quarter
rr ilWns of ounces; gold, over eig'ity
one thousand ounces; lead, moe; than
sixty-six million pounls; copper, ever
eight hundred and flft thousand
pounds: in ail valued at nearly seven
and a quarter millions of dollars. Of
the coal and slate and Iron and as
th.ilcum that were mined and of lue
lumber that .was cut and marketed
there is no accurate record. Manufac
turing aids largely to the wealth of
Utah and makes prominent contribu
tion to the annual product of more
than thirty million dollars.
The railway facilities are excellent
and continue to Improve ond extend.
The Rio (Irande and Western has some
thing like Ave hundred miles of truck,
with equipment good enough to please
the most fastidious traveler; the Union
Pacific has a mileage a trifle in excess
of live hundred; the Central Pacific,
the Utah Central and three minor
-oada add BUtiicl-?nt to inske the nggre
gr.tu nearly fourteen hundred m'ies
Of colleges and schools and hunks
there Is sufficiency for the present, and
there is no lack of those necessary In
stitutions n which the afflicted nnd
the criminal may be cared for. Of
scenery and climate there is no end.
THE CITY OF THE SAINTS.
Much might be said of Salt Lake
City. It would be difficult to say too
merclal supremacy. That others are of
like opinion is daily being evidenced,
for there is steady accession to the
number of capitalists great and small
who make Salt Lake City their earth
ly abiding place. With the eye of
faith they see that time when the pres
ent population of seventy-five thou
sand will be multiplied over and over
again: when every lot on the hundred
miles of wide and shaded and stream
curbed streets shall he built upon;
when the best of Western enterprise
shall center in the one-time "City of
the Saints," and every producer pay
tribute to our newest state's metro
polls. Then, too, Salt Lake City has a
great future as a sanitarium. Even
In the city's heart there Is more of
pure air than can be found in any other
American center of population, while
down along the eastern shore of the
Great Salt lake Is atmosphere wbich
will to many an ailing mortal prove
to be the breath of life.
There is one thing in Salt Lake City
that makes a Washlngtonlan feel
small and ancient. No matter how
much he may ndmlre Utah's capltnl,
he contents himself with Washington's
superiority until he gets a gllmp.ie of
the magnificent municipal building
architecturally fine, modern In all that
the term implies; cost a million dollars
and looks as If it had cost twice as
much.
EXPECT1NO A BIO RUSH.
With the coming of springtime and
the unfolding of summer there is like-,
ly to develop a wave of migration
Utah ward. There is authentic Inf'pim
ation sufficient to make that probabil
ity a certainty before the state cele
brates its tlm fourth of July. From
all parts of the : y and from many
foreign lands inqui..;8 have been pour
ing in at a great rate, and there is
even now a perceptible and Increasing
stream of new-comers meandering
arouid Irr search of suitable location.
A majority of the recent arrivals ap
pear to be interested in mining, so
look out for a big boom In stocks.
Preparations are everywhere being
made to receive and direct the multi
tude which is believed to be on its
way, and efforts are being made in
Colorado to Intercept and capture some
of the people who promise to be among
the most desirable of the "tenderfeet."
All the railroad men look for a big
rush, but they are ready for It. The
Burlington, the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Rio Grande and Western have
ma-le every needful preparation to
handle the Incresse of business; the
two last-named roads have fully
equipped themselves with Pullinuh
tourist cars, in which one may Bleep
for less than half the tariff which pre
vails In the better furnished "palace"
cars. This concession to a loudly
voiced western demand for low sleeping-car
fares is very popular und the
cars are well patronized.
FOR PROTECTION AND SILVER.
Politically. Utah is Republican. The
unfolding of that fact was a surprise
to several shrewd politicians who are
not Republicans, for the Impression
prevailed quite generally that Utah
would be decidedly Democratic. Salt
Lake City Is thoroughly Republican
also, and Is likely to be so as is the
state for twenty years to come. At
least, that's what some of the Salt Lake
Republicans say. Everybody In Utah
believes firmly In protection, so Utah'a
Republicanism ' Is not to be wondered
at. Everybody buys goods of Utah
manufacture in preference to the Im
ported stuff, even If the home-made
product should chance to be less satis
factory; a possibility, that is, as a rule,
very remote. On these momentous
much. A spot of mountain s raided des
ert in 1S47, It Is now one of the most
delightful places of residence on the
continent, and. s a direct result of
statehood, growing with marvelous
and profitable rapidity. 1 nm not a

In the hotly contested race for com
questipnB of finance Utah Is for silver;
"first, last and all the time." cry some
of the enthusiastic ones. Perhaps the
opening up of half a dozen big gold
camps that at Mercur promises to be
the Johannesburg of America may re
verse the situation, but there Is no
testimony as yet on which to base pre
diction of such a change.
Oln mill signs are straws that show
the wlnd'B direction. Without going
out of my way to observe them, I saw
In Utah and Colorado the following:
"The Free Silver Saloon," "The Free
Coinage Saloon," "The 16 to 1 Saloon."
"The Silver Dollar Saloon," "The nly
Ratio Restaurant and Sample Room,"
"The White Metal House," "The White
Dollar Saloon" and "The Daddy Dol
lar Sample and Pool Room." The gold
dollar wasn't anywhere in sight, and I
Imagine that any saloonkeeper who
would display, the hated Insignia on his
house front would be compelled by an
angry populace to swallow all of his
own liquor that could be poured into
him through a funnel or be tormented
in some of the" many ways common to
some of the newer and more woolly
communities.
But no matter what the ratio or how
the national conventions deal with the
ticklish subject of finance or who wins
In the presidential light, Utah is bound
to succeed: there are already within
her borders the influences that cannot
fall to achieve greatness.
ANCIENT MEDICINE.
A Few of the Extraordinary
Nostrums Which Our
Forefathers Used.
If modern science can boast of any
thing, it can of the way In which it has
rescued medicine from the realms of
Imagination. The wonderful prescrip
tions of the Magi, as narrated by the
Roman historian Pliny, are examples
of what the earliest doctors were, while
even the "salves" of our own Ellia
bethans seem, at first sisht, not much
of an Improvement upon those of the
Chaldean M. Ds. Let us take a few
examples of Jlaglan healing from a
Latin author, of which, perhaps, the
most useful Is the following one that
In modern parlance would run thus:
"A receipt to make women disclose their
secrets. Take one hen, and having
carefully extracted its heart, place the
so me on the mouth of the patient during
sleep. You will ascertain her exact age
the next morning." To do the old Ro
man Justice, he stigmatizes this state
ment as a "portentouB He." (No doubt
hj had tried It.)
OTHERS AS OROTESQUEv
Others are qtllte as grotesque. Fever-few,
when used medicinally, had to
be plucked by the left hand, after the
patient's name had been spoken over
It, the herbalist taking good care not to
look behind him. A love charm could
be easily obtained from a hyena caught
when the moon was in Gemini. Sport
ing prophets who wish to excel in divin
ation should change their customary
chop for a few moles' hearts. It is
stipulated that these be fresh. The
Romans themselves, although no mean
surgeons they made use of the probe
and nippers and instruments for tre
panningwere not less given to prodig
ies than the people whose veracity
they doubted. They believed that eat
ing hare was a cure for Insomnia and
even the skeptic Pliny Imagined that
there must be something in the super
stition that people who had done so
were good looking for nine days after
ward. A veritable nine days' wonder!
He recommended also as a cure for
quartan fever that the dust In which a
hawk had rolled should be put Into a
bag and the latter tied round the neck
with a piece of red thread. Other cures
for the same were the longest tooth
of a black dog, In the same position,
and a wasp caught In the left hand
and then pressed against the fore
head. Alexander of Tralles, a physi
cian of the middle ages, made use of a
no doubt potent cure for the after ef
fects of unripe apples and such like.
The sufferer wore on his- finger an oc
tagonal iron ring, upon which was In
scribed the following: "Flee, flee, ho,
ho, bile, the lark is searching." A re
mark which, if we may slightly alter
Gilbert, "No doubt, was very clever,
but I do not understand it."
SAXON IDEAS OF DENTISTRY.
Leaving the Roman and Orientals,
we In vain turn to our own forefath
ers for a little more common sense.
The Saxon leeches, having no knowl
edge of Instruments or Indian drugs,
fell back on weeds, which they digni
fied by the picturesque name of
"worts," charms and Incantations, and
portions of multilated beasts. To spit
In a frog's mouth and request him to
make off with the toothache was their
idea of dentistry. Motes in the eye
were very easily curable. The unaf
fllcted member was shut and the
"vexed" one touched with the rlng-flng-er
and thumb, while the following was
repeated solemnly three times: "I buss
the Gorgon's mouth." By bussing the
Gorgon's mouth nine times you could
get a bone from your throat. A potent
charm! An excrescence on the eye
known as hordeolum (probably a cyst)
was removed by means of nine barley
corns. First the whole nine were held
to the eye, then two were dropped and
seven held; and so with five, and throe,
and one, while at each application the
self-healer repeated the words: "Flee,
llee, barley thee chaseth." Blood was
stanched by another and highly unin
telligible charm. "Stupid stupid on a
mountain went; stupid stupid was."
Though who was stupid, and why he
was so, perhaps the Anglo Saxon who
tumbled down a mountain was alone
able to determine. Brutality was no
deterrent to a man who was in pain.
The prescription for cataract was oni
in which a fox was caught alive, his
tongue was cut out and the animal
let got; after which the severed organ
was put in a red rag and suspended,
until It died, round the neck of the
human sufferer. For all who are sub
ject to kernels behind the ears I quote
the following: "If a shrew mouse die
in a rut, there, by a natural fate, he
perishes. So wrap him up in a clay,
and with him go three times round
kernels behind the ears. Wondrously
quickly wilt thou heal them."
It will be interesting to note for what
diseases some of the more common of
our wild plants were once made use of.
Poppy, as may well be supposed, was
the cure for sleeplessness, though an
application was external, and, to say
the least, a lengthy process One had
to take ooze of the wort and smear the
man with it. Soon you "sent soundest
sleep on him." Toothache was got rid
of with yarrow (Achillea). . a herb
which the Saxon leech tells us was giv
en by Achilles to Telephos and others,
in order to cure their wounds. It had
to be eaten fasting. It might be sup
posed that the hardy warriors of the
time In question did not suffer as mod
erns do, from the dlsngurement of
baldness. Tile leech books of the peri
od, however, are full of recipes for this
ill. Loose hair was remedied by the
common water weed Callicriche. "If a
man's hair fall off. take the wort, pound
It with oil. Smear the- hair therewith.
It soon becometh fast." The desperate
man, If he has any belief in antiquity,
might do well in trying this.
REMEDIES FOR GOUT.
Gout appears to have been as fre
quent among our ancestors as It Is to
day, and to have been by no means in
troduced by the heavy drinkers that are
Just becoming, extinct, however much
It was neceseary by them. The letch
hooks give many remedies, from marsh
mallows pounded in old lard to a com
pound of honey and hymele (better
known as hop), "a wort which," as our
authority informs us, "is so excellent
that it is mingled In ordinary drinks."
The Btrawberry had a virtue which
must no doubt have endeared it to the
English soldiers of the day, inasmuch
ns It was an antidote to inconvenience
due to an overdose of any of the afore
said compounds of hymele. Juice of the
strawberry wort mingled with honey
along with pepper "benefited much
when drunk." :- . The mullein, or high
taper, a handsome plant with broad
leaves and a spike of yellow flowers,
had ft use which must have sorely tried
the credulity of those for whom It was
prescribed. A twisr of It, carired In a
man's hand, prevented him from being
terrified with awe; neither would any
wild beast haunt him, nor any evil
tome near. The lejend Is that It was
given hv Mercury to Ulysaev. who, af-;
ter he had received It, was safeguarded
gainst all the wiles of Circe.
A aood deal of folklore appears to
have become mixed up with even the
moBt serious works of the heads of the
Saxon medical profession.. Their oplni
Ions on the mandrake are bewitching
ly .Infantile.' At night this plant was
supposed to shine like a lamp and. to
be endowed with motion, ; while the
method - of catching it suggests the
elaborate machinations . of .a Thames
roach-fisher. As soon as you sighted
the twinkle of a mandrake plant, you
stole up softly behind its back, and
having inscribed it with, an iron ring,
lest It should tlee from thee, you pro
ceeded Immediately to ties Its hands
and feet. This step accomplished, you
called vour "hound" (there Is no men
tion of a special breed of mandrake
hounds), and havins tied the hungry
beast to the plant by its neck, you set
meat before "Ponto," who could not
reach it, except he "Jerked up the wort
with him. "Of the lettuce, It was said
that the hare, when In summer he Is
tired with excess of heat, doctors him
self with the leaves thereof. The hare,
by the by, appears to have been an ani
mal much studied by our Saxon ances
tors. To meot three hares in one day
was the presage of speedy death, while
to catch a leveret was supposed to be
the slan of an immediate acquisition
of fortune. While naming the animals,
however, that our ancestors killed and
tortured in search for health, we must
give them the credit of discovering the
use of one that has- been of some Im
portance In the eyes of modern doctors.
This la the horse leech, the name of
which Is derived from the Anglo-Saxon
word for a physician. It was, in spite
of this, but little used by them.
