Goveruor Thomas and asked his opinion of thu disfranchisement bill would he not have givm it, especially if tho situation forced him to il? We think ho would not have hesitated in tho matter. Tlio fact is there is al-together too much fuss being mado' about the Governor Thomas affair. It really amounts to nothing, and, in the opinion pf The Times, the sensible Mormon members of the chamber of commerce are not very much disturbed over it. They know that the chamber of commerce is not a political or relig-ions body, but a business organization, and wo don't think that any of them have any idea of withdrawing from it, notwithstanding the intimations that have recently been made. Ir Governor Thomas, as tlio repre-sentative, of the chamber of commerce, has gone outside of his special mission, he. alone should bo ln-l- responsible. Ho was not instructed by tho chamber of commerce to go to Washington to work for the Mormon disfranchisement bill. If he has done that he has done it on his own responsibility. But Tun Times does not believe he is guilty of this charge, but it does believe that a trap was laid for him in Washington, and in order to defend himself h(T was forced to express his own personal opin-ion, regarding tho disfranchisement bill. Suppose a Mormon had been sent to Washington by the eh amber of com-merce on tho same mission as that of Governor Thomas. If ho had been) placed ia the same circumstances as this nation to exist, and become pros-perous. The prosperity of the w orking classes iqcaus the prosperity of the whole coun-try. When they suffer, tho whole country suffers. Encouragement to the cause of labor is simply a patriotic duty. Yet the capitalists, in their selfish greed, are continually grinding the life out of tho workingmen. "I cannot see," says Colonel Ingersoll, "how any man, who does nothing, who lives in idleness, cau insist that others should . work ten or twelve hours atlay. Neither cau I see how a man who lives on the luxuries of life can find it in his heart or in his stomach, to say that the poor ought to be satisfied with tho crusts and the crumbs they get." Coionel Ingersoll has good reason to predict that there is to bo a revolution, sooner or later, in the relations between capital and labor. Tho working - people are becoming educated, and they are becoming cognizant of their power if they unite in any movement in their own behalf as thoroughly as the capital-ists do in their schemes to keep them in tho treadmill of poverty. INGERSOLL IN LABOR'S BEHALF. The worklngmeu of this country are to be congratulated upon the fact that tho eloquent Colonel Ingersoll has raised his voice iu behalf of labor. He is a man of heart as well With such a brilliant and Influential the cause of labor will certainly make great headway aud eventually be victorious. He believes In the amelior-ation of the worklncmau's condition, and ho regards tho eight-hou- r move-ment a step in the right direction. All houor, we say, to Ingersoll. In the sentiments he lias uttered he has done more good for the working classes than if he had donated a million dollars to the cause. We hope to see other lib-eral hearted aud braiuy men follow the example of Ingersoll aud assist iu bet-tering tho condiliou of the working-men- . The workingmen arc the bone and the sinew and the" salvation of the country. Iu time of war they aro the ones who, throwing down the hammer and the saw, the trowel, the pick and the shovel, till up tho ranks in defense of the flag. It was so in the civil war. It was the laboring man who made it possible fur . AMUSEMENTS. "MONTE CBISTO" AT THE GRAND. Mr. James O'Neill was greeted last evening with quite a large audience. The play of "Moute Cristo" is familiar to most of Salt Lake's theater goers, and therefore little, need be said about it. Mr. O'Neill is the same line reader as of old, conscientious in a.l that he does; portraying Dantes in the easy stylo so peculiarly his own, and as-suming the nicer drawn character of the count with consummate tact and ability. Mr. O'Neill always chesses his part in perfect taste, and he is equally at home in the sailor's garb or in th costume of a gentleman. Miss Grace Raven made a very hand-some Mercedes. Both her reading and hor acting were very good, and sho quite won the Empathy of her audience as the tender mother whose solo care is the welfare of her son. The strength of Dumas' character of Mercedes Is weakened in the dramatization by a confession of frailly which has no place in the novel; but of course Miss Raven is not responsible for this. Mr. Henry Vernon made a good Noirtier, and was well received. Mr. Claude L. Wheeler made a very fair Villefort, and Mr. Nat J). Jones was an excellent Cardcroussc. Miss Kate Fletcher as C'arconte was fully equal to the re-quirements of the part and did not fail to excite dotestation for the aver-iciou- s old woman she represented, who would murder for gain with perfect unconcern. "Monte Cristo" will be repeated every evening this week and at the mat-inee on Saturday. "A SOAP BUBBLE" AT THE THEATER. A very thin house at the Salt Lake theater last uight witnessed a very poor performance of a piece that has consid-erable merit in it when placed in com-petent hands. Tho least said about the company tho better. INGERSOLL AND LABOR. 'I believe there is to be a revolution in the relations be-tween labor and capital. The working people are reasoners. Their hands and head are in partnership ; they know a great deal more than the capitalists. It takes a thousand times the brains to make a locomotive than it does to run a store or a bank. Mark the intelligence in the steamship and in all the thousand machines and de-vices that are now working in the- - world. 'These- - working people read; they meet to-gether; they discuss; they are becoming more and more inde-pendent in thought; they do not believe all they hear." .Thkke is no telling when and where a boom will strike. It comes like a cy-clonein the most sudden and uueV peeled manner. The sleepy old City of Mexico has been waked tip with a boom, ono of the features of which is a pro-posed $3,000,000 hotel. The suburban property around the City of Mexico is being rapidly developed, and - rapid transit from the heart of the city to these colonies, as they arc called, has thrown the property into the boom. Traditions are rapidly giving way to tho American spirit of progress and the country is filling up with the best class of Americans , and Europeans. The people seem to bo prosperous.

They can't even pave the city with good intentions. ABSOLUTE Fit EE COINAGE. The special Washington correspon-dent of the Deliver News telegraph that it is not true that the silver men are not insisting on making tho notes issued by the government on tho of silver bullion a legal tender. Tho silver men not only insist that the notes shall not be made redeemable iu bullion, but that they shall be redeemed in currency and made a full legal ten-der in the payment of all public and private debts. Tho News, iu comment-ing ou the silver question, says: Senator Wilson says this will be Insisted on, thus milking all notes Issued by the govern-ment, whether based Ou gold or silver, a full legal tender. This, be correctly contends, will secure a relUblo currency tor circulation, hav-ing (or its busts the double standard. He con-tends that such a measure will benefit the whole country us no other measure could pos-sibly do. While Senator Kvarts did not dwell on tho legal tender feature of the bill he la opposed to the redemption of the notes In milium. The more this question Is studied the mure does Senator Teller's position commend Itself to the publicabsolute free coinage, and the placing of silver on a pur with gold as a legal tender. Colonel Hubert Ingersoll and tlio Salt Lake Times agreoon.tho labor question and the eight-hou- r movement. Great minds run together. P. S. Keep your eye on THE Times.

The electric Shock that is to send tlio murderer Kcmmlcr into eteruity is called electrocution. The result of this experimental execution is awaited with considerable interest, especially by sci-entists. THK WATCH ON THIS RHINE. Jewelers' Circular. I Jiud heard So many stories of the wonders and the glories' R Which history had given to the rivers of the vine, That myrin was full of faucies interwoven with romances, Connected with the thrilling song ''The Watch Upon the Rhine." So one summer I departed, cheerful, happy and For the land where poets tell tis nature's beau-ties are divine ; And I took my new stem-winde- thinking that I might feel kinder Lonely If 1 dldu't carry my own watch upon the Rhine. And it wasn't any wonder that iu fourteen days and under I had reached the shores of Holland and hud sampled Clerman wine . In such copious liberation, that I'd frequent ultcrcutious With the guardians of the peaco thai is, the " wateh upon the Rhine. Once, und happily, once only, that policeman grim and lonely Hauled me up before tho mayor, whpimposed a little line; And he stated pretty clearly that he'd deal with me severely If my future P'u and (fs I didn't watch upon the Rhine. But one evening I was roaming through the sweet romantic gloaming Which in certain lucid moments Is exactly in my line; When a lootpud, quick and clever, undertook to nimbly sever My responsible connection with my watch upon the Kuiuc.

CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. Kmin Pasha is a linguist. His tongue can haudle seven different languages. Great Britain is a druuken land. In the past ten year the arrests for In-ebriety have reached nearly two mil-lions. The Potomac malaria is getting to work early iu the season. Senators Edmunds, Beck and Brown are ou the sick list. ' The Northern travelers do pretty well by tho South.. Mr. Dcpow estimates that they leave in that section eight and one half millions dollars every year. Ignorant goodness may do many wicked things. "If ye know these things happy are ye if ye do thein." Knowing should go before doing. Andrew Lang says H. Kider Haggard is u greater writer than Hobort L. Stev-enson. Tho crilicr-i- s a warn, personal friend of the author of "She." Robert L. Stevenson is going to be-coming a citizen of the wide Pacific. He has bought a largo tract of laud in Samoa and w ill live there permanently. Japan is a peculiar country. There are chickens in that laud with tails from cloven to thirteen feet long and they arc prouder thau the peacocks. Judge Gresham is in poor health and his friends fear tfiat he is breaking down. If this slwuld happen, uuothcr Presidential possibility would be gone. Governor David B. Hill has entered a riding school and is taking privato les-sons iu horsemanship.

P.audall, who aro poor because he was honest. Mr. Childs is always doing something hand-some. HICYCI.ES on the hi DEW VI, ks. It Is to bo hoped that the city council will lake Immediate steps to abate the nuisance of trundling bicycles on tho principal sidewalks of this city. Satur-day evening a lady and gentleman the former pushing a baby carriage ahead of her, in which was her little Infant-w- ere walking along First South street, when a reckless youth, mounted on a bicycle, tried to pass (hem. Directly opposite tlio baby carriage the booby lost his balance and went over broad-side ou top of i he infant. Of courso the father and mother of the little one were greatly excited over tho occurrence, fearing for the safety of their child. Tim infant was not' seriously injured, but it' is a wonder that tho life , was not squeezed out of it. - A crowd gathered roulid, and the rider of the trap received some, rough language for his carelessness; and the council came hi for its share of condemnation for al-lowing bicycles on the sidewalk. Tho bicycle has no place on tho side-walk, and should be conilucd, to the btrects. It is predicted that Germany is threatened with a social upheaval that will topple over crowned heads.

There will bo no excuse for. not pushing street paving after next Thurs-day. It Is hoped the city council will Hot forget this gentle hint. It is now predicted that the senato silver bill will be amended in accord-ance with the views of the most radical silver men, anil that the house will pass jts own bill. It is believed that this w ill result iu satisfactory bill being agreed upon in conference. ' Most of the sidewalks in tho business portion of the city are a nuisance and a disgrace. They should bo condemned at once, and replaced with decent walks. It is hoped that tho eilj' coun-cil will take some action ou this matter at its meeting this evening. THE LEAD DUTY. Elsewhere In this issue there will bo found the views taken by Utah pro-ducers and dealers on'; Ue rulings of the secretary of the treasury iu apply-ing the duty on imported lead ores. Silver ore is admitted into tho United States duty free, and on lead ore there is a duty of one and one half cents a pound; but as all silver ore car-ries more or less galena, it is claimed by the lead smugglors that where i silver predominates in tho ore the importation is silver ore, with which lead has nothing to do. Thus far the ruling of tlio treasury de-partment has favored these people, and thu result is that thousands of tons of lead aro brought iuto the United States annually under the guiso of sil-ver' ore importations, and on which thero is no duty. It is impossible for American lead producers to compete successfully with tho cheap peon labor of Mexico, and consequently the, lead Industry of the. United States-- ' is struggling for a bare existence which is threatened with downfall. Our lead producers do not ask for a higher duty on imported lead; but they do ask, and it would seem with justioo, that every ouneo of lead im-ported into this country, whether it be in ore where silver predominates or not, shall pay ono and a half cents reve-nue to the government. This demand seems so entirely fair that to grant it should be considered a duty; and there should never have been any iiuely drawn liues on tho technical question of whether lljo importations were silver ores or lead ores, if lead ap-peared at all iu tho importation. Salt Lakh makes a good showing . with her bank clearings. Her clearings of last week amounted to 91.586.1U1. Mm ranks ahead of Portland, Oregon; St. Joseph, Mo.; Peoria. Now Haven, Spriuglield, Worcester. Me.; Portland, Mo.; Seattle, Galveston, Toledo, and twelve other cities. Tnii chamber of commerce, in mak-ing arrangements for the publication nd distribution of 50,000 copies of Col. Hollister's '"Salt Lake and Surround-ings," and also .for 100,000 illustrated folders, has taken a stop In the right direction. Judicious advertising pays as well in the interest of a city as' it does' for a private business establish-ment . THE SILVER CIRCUIT. What Manager 'McCourt lias to Say of Bay of Western Tlumters. N8w York Dramatic Mtli'or. Peter McCourt, the manager of the Tabor Grand Opera house, Denver, Colo., looks very much like Cornelius Vandcrbilt. Mr. McCourt is a busy and successful manager, anil a Mirror reporter conjectured at once that some-thing was up, when ho saw him in tho city the Other day. "Yes, sir, I am here for a purpose," was Mr. McCourt' s reply to tho report-er's question. "I am arrangiug with Charles Trohmau, who represents Al Hayman's interests and his own, for the establishment of a circuit by which at-tractions can bo booked or be taken on tours of the Western country with much better financial results than heretofore. All the arrangements, too, can be made at Mr. Frohman's ollico. The new scheme will closely connect my circuit with that of Mr. Haymau." "As you' are aware Mr. Hayman's circuit commences in Chicago aud in-cludes Kansns City, Omaha, the leading theaters in San Francisco, 'Portland aud the upper Oregon country. My circuit includes the Tabor Grand, a now $500,-00- 0 opera house now being built at pueblo, Colo,, and for which I am pre-pared to negotiate for an opening at-traction on a guarantee. Leadvillo, Aspen, Colorado Springs and the Grand Opera House, Salt Lako city. "An interesting fact to theatrical peo-ple in connection with tho Salt Lako house is lhat attractions cau play at it on Saturday night and often ou Mou-da- y uight in San Francisco. This can be accomplished by taking a special train after tho performance and catch-ing the regular train at Ogdeu, forty miles away. The cost' is very reason-able. "The business of tho silver circuit and the coast has reached such importance that it is absolutely necessary to have it handled in Now York. Wo have just played Shenandoah' in Salt Lake City at $4500 iu three days and matinee, and to $9500 in Deuver in one week. Other attractions like Kvaugcline.' that have recently been playing with me, are doing a business that excels that of the eastern country, and the towns of my circuit are growing so rapidly that onc-nig- stands are dune away with. Salt Lake City will uext season be a week .stand, and 1 can play good attractions four weeks in six tow us." 'The next, regular season of the Tabor Grand opens ou August 13 wilh the-- -- Prince and Pauper," and tho house will only close one week. The Leadville theater this summer will be lowered to tho ground Hour, and all our theaters will compare favorably with those of any In towns of equal impor- tance in the east. Tho Pueblo house in particular, will be an elegant thea-ter, comparing favorablv with the Tabor Grand and the New Marquam opera house, Portland. It will hae a roof garden open all summer with an orchestra from the east that will remain there all the year round." j The eight-hou- r movement, so il is claimed, is going to win tho day iu Den-ver. Ou May 4 there will be a grand parade of working men, closing with speeches, celebrating this important event. "If tho bosses and employes in other cities," says tho Denver News, "could harmonize in the same satisfac-tory manner it would mark a better era in the history of both." |
