Yes, thou shalt know what mystery lies In the amethyst deepof the curtained skies, If thou wilt fold thy onyx eyes, You walkefull one, you naughty son, You chirping little sparrow THE UKRAU) ASD CITY TAXES, Our pugnacious contemporary, the Herald, waxes frantic over the excess-ive assessment of city property aud in a wail of despair calls for somebody to avert the sore disaster that is in store for us if Assessor Clute is not bridled at once. This is a gloomy view to take of the ways of Mr. Olute but the Herald is a gloomy paper anyway. The fact of the matter is that a maximum assessment is rather a benefit than a detriment to a city inasmuch as it ad-vertises a higher valuation, and at the same timo a lower rate of taxation to the world. For instanco it is better to pay one per cent on $100,000 than two per cent on $50,000, for while the amount is the same in either case, the lower rate strikes the prospective in-vestor, who rarely inquires for the rate of valuation, much more favorably. By this we do not mean, of course, and the Herald does not urge the point, that assessments should be unequal and therefore unjust. All the protests filed so far were on tho latter ground, and therefore deserving of .the closest scrutiny. Neither do we mean that the enhanced valuation should lead to loose and reckless expenditures, though we are in favor of lib-eral improvements, commensurate with the progress and prospect of the city. Salt Luke City is no longer, and tho Herald might as well wake up to the fact, in quarantine and It is willing to pay something for the liberation. Outside,' however, of mere narrow objections thore aie certain evils con-nected with unequal assessments which the city council should correct. And as for public improvements they should not be made except under the most competent supervision. Thr Times is free to say that this is not being done in every cuso now. itable employment and furnish their families a comfortablo liveli-hood. To be able to do this it is not enough that they should earn good wages, but it is essential also that they should get the maximum, returns for their money. In brief, living expenses must be reasonable or the value of the money earned will bo diminished. In some respects, as in rents, the economic law of supply and demand regulates prices while in others it is undoubtedly a perverted business condition that de-termines them. Salt Lake City is yet in her swaddling clothes and the multi-plicity of her andvantages are only be-ginning to be appreciated at large. By the time the next census is taken her population will be expressed in six figures and there are many of us who will live to see the city exceed a quarter million of people. All the con-ditions combine to fix the future of Salt Lake beyond a doubt unless it is unduly interfered with by ourselves, And so long as the present prodigious growth continues houses will be scarce and rents correspondingly high. In-deed that is the best criterion of a city's thrift. But why should we, surrounded as we are by a magnificent farming country and neighbors to a fertile state, pay tariff on everything we consume? Why should living expenses be so much higher in Salt Lake City than they are in Kansas City, Omaha or Portland? That is a question which and new-comer- s alike are asking themselves and each other. One answer, but not the only one by any means, is that we tolerate a sys-tem of free and easy credit which taxes tho solvent customers to pay the bills of the insolvent or dishonest. ' Mer-chants tell us that if they could collect their outstanding debts more readily they could afford to sell goods at closer margins. Tho philosophy of the thing is plain, but not so the justice. It hurt the reputation of the city no less than tho exchequer of the individual who h:i to pay the bills of some other fel-h- A LOCAL TAU1KF. While the nation's Solons discuss the intricacies of the tariff, and inciden-tally furnish our esteemed contempora-ries a bone of contention, let us exam-ine a littlo into a specie of local tariff that the peoplo of Salt Lake are called upon to pay and which, protectionists aud free traders alike must admit, will, if long persisted in, militate against the prosperity of the city.

It is affecting to know that after all Bill Nye is the author of "Beautiful The Timf.s Snow." published tho earliest and fullest report of the Labor parado in Ogden. Como to think of it The Times is generally ahead in everything. Lauoh Day was generally observed throughout tho country yesterday, and not an iucideut happened to mar the harmony or disturb the peace. And therein lies an object lesson over which labor agitators might well ponder. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED- - The Paris Figaro pays yearly a divi-dend of over 100,000. There are seventeen registered sects of wcsleyams anil methodists.' The Chinese endure change of climate better than any other race.

A Polandor woman living at Sala-manca one day last week picked and marketed over twenty quarts of black-berries, and in the afternoon gave birth to triplets. The mortality of the globe is said to be sixty-seve- n every minute, U7.7D0 every day, or 35,080.835 every year. The 'births amount to 100,000 every day, 8,7D2,0Q0 every year.

HI.AINK8 WATEBVILI.K SPEECH. There is no use disguising tho fact that Mr. Blaine is playing sad havoc with Mr. McKinley's pet tariff scheme, and that his speech delivered at Water-vill- o yesterday, supplementing his re-cent letter to the senate on the samo subject will be used with telling effect by the democrats in tho pending con-gressional election. It will bo remem-bered that Mr. Blaine, though absent at the time in Europe, sounded tho key note in the late presidential campaign in giving first prominence to the tariff question, and it was upon this issue that tho republican party won; hence anything he may now say upon the samo thing will bear tremendous weight with it. True, some small bored politicians insinuate that Mr. Blaiuo is less anxious to put through his reciprocity scheme as to damage a set of personal enemies within his own party, chief among thorn Speaker Ueed with whom ho is notonspoaking terms, blit such a charge Is simply preposter-ous, Mr. Blaine is too big and too gen-erous a man to resort to so contempti-ble a trick. Besides that ho does not in any way repudiate his former belief in protection to American Industries, only modifying.orrather supplementing it, in certain particulars where, in his opin-ion, a mutual benefit might occur from mutual exchange. It would bo folly to suppose that so astute a statosmau as he, does not consider the effect upon tho country and the republican party of the new policy; indeed it is presumable that he foresees now, as he did in 1H88, ahead of any other man, the necessity of a more liberal tariff policy, and that he is less con-cerned at tho loss of a stray congress-ional seat this year, than at the pros-pects of the national ticket two years hence, To the unyielding bigots who pretend to believe that any modification of the tariff must be on the line of higher du-ties, Mr, Blaine's Waterville speech is recommended as a wholesome lesson. If they will read and digost It proporly they might profit by it, The stock exchange yes-terday under tho happiest auspices. In the language of Vice President Tre-wee- "it has been noticed all over tho country and is being closely watched," If the exchange can rellcct but a frac-tion of the activity manifest in the vari-ous mining camps of Utah, the country will not watch in vain. NEWS FROM THE NORTHWEST. Chief Plenticoues is a thrifty individ-ual. He now lays in wait for "fishermen and charges them two bits a head for fishing on the reservation. Men in Washington who are working in tho interest of the Cooke City rail-road profess to believe that a right of way will be granted at this session of congress. The republicans of White Sulphur Springs will issue a daily paper Boon. The democrats will follow suit with a daily printed from the Husbandman olllce. George W. Clark, the Almira, Wash., saloonkeeper who recently assaulted Rev. E. H. Sutton, a temperance lec-turer, was fined $23 and costs the other day, and thinks he got off cheap. Charles Harrison, a carpenter of Sa-lem, went up to Turner to work, aud while there his wife left him and skipped. She sent him a heartless let-to- r Baying she was tired of a humdrum life and wanted to see the world. While a Great Northern baudcar was runing 25 miles an hour near Lorimore, N. D., a handle broke and three men were thrown on the track and fatally injured. Thoir names are: Assistant Iioadmaster Johu Maloney, Section Foremen Fred Johnson and James Kelly. Olympia has deolded to introduce the electric lire alarm system and $3000 will be expended for that purpose. Boxes will bo placed at various strtet corners, which will be In direct communication with the engine houses, so that in case of fire the alarm can be sent at the shortest notice. Tho Boise City rapid transit company have tiled articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. The oapital stock is $20, 000. The object of th e com-pany is the construction of an electric street railway in Boise City. Nearly, $,")000 is subscribed, and cars will be running by the middle of October. In an enoounter with a griwly, F. M. Elin, a sheep herder in the Blue moun-tains, noar Walla Walla, was bitten In the shoulder and clawod. His dog rushed aud got the bear's attention for a moment, whereupon the sheep border disentangled himself from his hairy einbraco and Injected shot into the monster. A Pendleton young man, who is in love with a young ludy in a neighboring town, went out to seo her last week, but one day's visit tired her out aud she tried to escapo on horseback. He first pullod her oil the horse, but she got away and ho followed her across the country in his buggy. The young mau was finally driven oil by a frieud with a shotgun. David II. Webster and John Hubbell had a rough and tumble tight on the streets of Seattle, which resulted in Hubbell getting a severe beating and Webstor's thumb being nearly bitten off. Hubbell was a witness in the sen-sational divorce case a few days ago, and he testified that Webster, the plain-tin- , had confidentially told him of hav-ing committed adultery. The corner stone was laid Wednesday of the grand temple of Odd Fellowship to bo the home of state lodge No. 7, of Seattle, the largest and wealthiest lodge in the states Tho ceremonies were con-ducted by Judgo J. F. Miller, noble grand of the lodge, who made the ad-dress of welcome. Two hundred mem-bers of the order were in attendance, among the prominent visitors being District Deputy Grand Sire Lewis, of Honolulu. The Seattle lodge is 14 vears old, ana worth $30,000. The new Build-ing will be 40x100, and fourstoriea high. The third and fourth floors will be nsed by the lodge for their hall and banquet-ing rooms. A great deal of rot is contained in the. cablegram announcing the basis upon which a reconciliation between . the Gorman emperor and Prince Bis-marck is sought. Docile as tho Gor-man- s are, it would be suicidal for any man to suggest to them the restoration of Alsace to Franco. That isn't what they have fought for in 1870-- 1. Utah weather is not a whit inforior to the Italian article. Nothing quite so ' invigorating and salubrious can be found on this continent, lleshles it permits building operations to continue practically throughout the winter, a consummation most devoutcdly to be desired this year when so many build-ings are under way and so many more demanded. Henry George and his Utopian the-ory have arrived in New York and forthwith proceeded to spread them-selves on record. It is no trouble to find in this country disciples of any harebrained scheme, for this is a cos-mopolitan nation composed of fearful and wonderful elements, and therefore it is not surprising to see delegates of thirty-thre- o states gathered in New York to form a single-ta- x organization. Spcches galore will be the only result of tho meeting. llROOKK-KAUT- Z. Like Banquo's ghost the squabble be-tween General Brooke and Colonel Kautz will not down, and the war de-partment seems to be puzzled how to dispose of the matter without further scaudal, its latest proposition being to replace General Brooke with General MoCook in command of this military department. That of course would separate tho two belllgorenl officers, but it would at tho same time appear like a rebuke to tho general. In itself the diftlouity is so trivial as to really merit little of the attention given it by the press and public In civil life a charge of that kind would be dismissed in fire minutes. Even in congress mombers and senators every day insinuate that their fellows prevari-cate and nothing more is said about it. The true reason why the Brooke-Kaut- z affair elicits so muoh comment is that it reveals the whole rotten state of our military service. It is the system and not the incident that concerns the pub-lic. Probably in no other service exists there so much jealousy and enmity as in the army. Young men full of spirit aud ambition become second nonten-ants. In any other vocation they might perhaps forge rapidly to the front, while in the army at the end of a life time they are still nothing but potty com-pany oilicers, aud it sours their disposi-tion and kills their ambition. Now and then a staff appointment is to be made and then some favorite instead of the most worthy is selected, and the slurred becomo embittered and indifferent. It is so, too, with the appointmout of gen-eral officers who alone are exempt from the rule of seuiority. And we imagine it is something of this sort rather than tho mild reproof offered and resented that precipitated the trouble between Brooke and Kautz. If the outcome should prove to be the appointment of a new department r, The Times hopes ho will be a broad gauged man whose policy with regard to Fort Douglass will be liberal and foresightod. Wk notice that among the tcaohers passed by the board of examination thore are several married women. We believe, and the board of education will soon find out from experience, that this is a mistake. There are physiological reasons why married women should not ask, and certainly not bo allowed, to teaoh in the public schools. They are not permitted to do so in the best schools of tho country, like those for example of Boston. In Cincinnati the board is now thinking of dropping them from the position. Indeed, with very few rare aud worthy exceptions, the gov-- . ernment of the United States refuses married women to hold clerkships in tho departments in Washington. As a goneral thing, too, while the first duty of school teachers should be to their schools tho first duty of married .women is to their families. For both reasons they should bo .excused. Tub withdrawal of tho publio lauds from entry embraced in tho arid re-gions of the west is at this time a most unfortunate event, and it will prove especially obnoxious to Utah and the adjaceut states and territories. Numer-ous letters are daily received by tho register and receiver of the United States Laud office in this city, enquir-ing as to the methods of obtaining title to the government domain with a view to settlement, but there is now only one answer to make, namely, th.it in ac-cordance with the recent circular issued by the secretary of the interior, do agricultural lands in the territory Ban be entered until tho present disa-bilities connected therewith are re-moved. It is thought, however, that a itrong influence will be brought to bear For the repeal of the law on which the Instructions of the secretary's circular were based, and that the landeombracod therein will be restored to their former ttatus. The Boston Musoe Opens. Boston. Sept. 2. Special. The Boston museum will be opened for the season this evening by a new play written by Robert Buchanan and George R.
