✓U [WEST SIDE TELEPHONE. M c M ì S' nvii . le , T uesday F eb . 8. 1887. A silly sensational story is going Jhe rounds now-a-days to the effect that Brigham Young is not dead, didn’t (lie stall as was chronicled several years ago, ami never has been dead, but that lie lias been living in London ever since hie reported death until within the last two years when he came Iioin London to Nebraska ami has been living near Lincoln since that time. Tho Chicago Tribune of a recent date gives a long account of how Brigham Young has been hiding near Lincoln, ami tells how lie. is to rise from the dead to lead the Mormons out of bondage when the ap pointed time comes. The secret is repor ted to have been told by an old servant who has been in attendance upon Brig ham. In our opinion tho whole story is merely a sensational rumor, and that old Brigham is as dead us a door nail and lias been for a number uf years. There could be noobject in such a ridic ulous proceeding even if it were true. The mass of the Mormons are not so ignorant that they could be imposed upon in that way by their leaders and it is baldly probable that they expect ed the American people at large to believe that their s.iinted( ?) leader had risen from the dead to watch over them in their “days of tribulation.” w » ct , i m i 111» « ■ ■■■ itm m The Washington Star is authority for tho statement that a number of mem ber of both pi r ies in the house intend soon to hold a conference lor the pur- po e of draw ng up a resolution of im peachment ot Secretary Manning for violating the laws of congress in his of ficial acts. Tlie movement is bused on wliat is construed as his virtual ac k nowledgement, in replyto the Weaver resolution, that he had violated and in tended to violate the law requiring that mutilated notes presented for redemption b hull be redeemed in notes of tho same denomination. In addition it will be charged that the law has been repeated ly violated by his lailtite to purchase $2 ,000,0J0 worth of silver each month The New York Tribune editorially says : Alaska does not need an organiza tion with a governor, judge and the ma chinery of a couit. It was provided with all the civil government it needs by action of congress in 1884. The only legislation now desitable is an act mak ing homestead laws and those relating to the sale of timber on government lands applicable. We can safely leave our Russian purchase to take care of it self. The only thing necessary being for the administration to make sure of a governor and judge who aro honest and competent men, that will remain at their pist.s and atten d to their duties. Hon. Jno. G. Daly, representative of I’olk, has introduced house bill No. 54, providing that each the insurance com pany doing business in this state shall file certified copies of their articles of in corporation in tlie office of the secretary of slate mid pay to the state treasurer an annua! license of three hundred dol lars, which sum shall be divided annual ly pro rata among the active volunteer tiro companies organized in tho state. This distribution of the funds is made upon tiie sworn statements of the secre taries of the various fire companies as to their actual active membership on the first of Joly in each yea”, and provides also for a penalty for non-compl iance on tho part of the insurance companies or ng“iits with the provisions of the act. The bill has been carefully prepared and it meets the wants of the volunteer fire men throughout the state, and certainly deserves the careful consideiation of the members of the legislafure. Persons cognizant of the risks they frequently run in their efforts to save property from destruction by fire need not be reminded of the justice of an act which in a small measure even will compensate them for their others ise gratuitous services. Life and limb are endangered time and time again by the brave boys, and thousands upon thousands of dollars of property are annually saved by the manly fire men. Why not therefore recognize their services and afford them this means of further increasing their efficiency? The plan has been successfully adopted in other and older states, and it is woi thy of commendation, and adoption in Oregon. It is a matter that has been thoroughly discussed and is warmly endorsed by tbe Firemen’s association of Oregon and Washington territory. New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ala bama, Wisconsin and Montana each rec ognize the services of their volunteer firemen. Massachusetts in 1884 collect ed and distributed among her volunteer firemen $139,136.00 and New York the same year and from the same sources collected and distributed $398,227.00 It is to be hoped, says the Statesman, that the Oregon legislature will in its wisdom do something of a substantial character for the volunteer firemen, and if tho measure introduced by Mr. Daly is not satisfactory to all parties concern ed Dt it be amended so as to comply with provisions made by other states for the same meritorious services. The la borer being worthy of his hire should certainly apply to a class who, with out hope of personal reward, are ever ready and willing to respond to the alarm of tho big bell and risk their almost all in their defense of life and property. Let the measure come up on its own merits and let the volunteer firemen of Oiegon thus know who their friends are. (SUCCESSOR TO A. M.
