Show I i i " . 4 THE SALT LAKE TIMES, FRIDAY. J AXLTAUY 2, 1891. will nuxt year, the democratic party, if it displays the name numerical strength as it did last year, anil which fills the Herald with so much confi-dence, will lind itself in the soup as of yore. Granting it even the in-crease due to a presidential election the party will still kick in the consomme. Our coutemporary is right, however in this: "Some people are very slow to learn." H.IHV TO I.EAKN. Speaking of the proposed change of rules iu the United States senate to facilitate the business of tho present brief session, the Chicago Herald works itself into a paroxism of indignation. Hear it scream: When it, is riiii"mbred that this party of violence and lawie-snes- s was recently almost wiped oil the face of tho eavth for d 'grading one house of congress by such rules as that now propose!. It must be confessed that some people arc very glow t learn. As a matter of democratic policy we should think the hysterical Chicago siieet would rather encourage than dis-courage a proposition calculated, ac-cording to its logic, to wipe the last remnants of tho republican party from off the face of the earth. But we fear the Herald is not honest in its belief. If it were, it would not scatter so much. Today, according to that paper, it is Kued's rules that caused the republican reverses in November. it was the y tariff. Another day it is the election bill. Then again tho hard times, the census, or the generous pen-sion laws passed by congress come in to bear the responsibility for the late election; anything in fact to adorn a tale and point a moral, as a tale or a moral may be needed to keep up the enthusiasm of the unterrilied host. If the Chicago Herald, and with it the democratic pr;ss of the country generally, wore inclined for once to tell the truth, it would say that the re-sult of the November election was caused by the republicans themselves; by their absence, as is too often their wont in off years, from tho polls, and that in consequence of the unexpected forco of the alliauco movement their defeat wias more marked than it other-wise would have been. A little mathematical calculation will convince our rabid contemporary iu the windy city that when the republi-can force turns out to be counted, as it THE SALT LAKE TIMES.

A plucky woman is Kmnia Abbott and The Timks sincerely regrets to learn that she is seriously ill with pneumonia. Everybody who heard her sing in Ernani the lirst uight of hor engagement huro, was convinced that she was suffering from more than a mere passing cold; evervbojy except the prima donna herself who aban-doned her New Year's matinee in the expectation that a brief rest would be all sullioient to restore her voice and health While Miss Abbott is not the most phenomenal operatic singer this coun-try has produced she is one of thtt most popular and successful stars. She has maintained the prestige of Knglisli opera when German or Italian threat-ened to supercede all other, In enterprise and pluck Miss Abbott exhibits the qualities of the true Amer-- : ican, and woman though sho be, she has never known the word fail. Let us hope her courage will not fail her now that she is wrestling with a dangerous disease, and that she may quickly gain hor wonled health. CLOSING OUT!

Continued persecutions of the Jews in Russia render it probable that a con-siderable percentage of the 5,0!K),000 un-fortunates will leave that country, and as the cable informs us, the majority of them will seek refuge in the promised land of modern times, that is tho United Slates. Sympathize as we do in this country with tho people of every oppressed race, and willing as we may be to ex-tend to all a helping hand, we do not believe a wholesale immigration of Rus-sian Jews should be encouraged, it be-ing contrary to the best interests of bolh sides concerned. The enlightened Hebrews are among the worthiest citizens of the Union. They are enterprising, they aro pro-gressive, they aro loyal, they are and above all things they are charitable to an extraordinary degree. In public spirit Miey rival the best men and women in the land. Tho Russian Jews aro not enlighten-ed. Due to a tyrannical government that has crushed in them every Incen-tive to nobler aims they are ignorant and bigoted. Fnw if any of them know a trade. It is a pity that without fault of their own these people should be so reduced to a state of degradation, but as this country is not a reformatory we can but eommisserate them. At this very moment the authorities in New York aro puzzled at the discovery of a rabbinical system of divorce obtaining among the Russian Jews which enables many, for a small fee, to contract new marriages as often as they please. This state of things was brought to tho notice of the authorities by the ministers of other Hebrew congregations who con-fess that the improvement of the Rus-sian Jew? who speak nothing but an unintelligible jargon is a hopeless task and that any effort in that direction must lie directed at their children. If their co religionists stand aghast at tho prospect, what can the people at large do Wo wish the government to exercise its utmost in tl 11 en oe in behalf of these poor people whose lot is so wretched as to excite the indignation of the civilized world; wo also wish private philan-thropy to exhaust its resources in tho amniclioration of their sufferings, but to unload them en masse upon this country would be an evil that we could ill bear. Better they bo distributed abroad nearer their traditional past. This, too, would be more to their owu liking. ARRIVALS AND OLOSfi OF MAILS.

A little while ago it was rumored that General Manager Resseguie of the mountain division of the Union I'dcilio was to be removed, but the rumor was not credited least of all by Mr. I'esso-gui- e himself, whose services first at headquarters in Omaha and subse-quently in Suit Lake City were regarded as creditable in tho highest degree. What determined the change after all is one of tho secrets in railroad life that none can divine. It was understood w hen the change in tho control of the Union Pacific took placo that the three division system would be abolished to mako room for the unit system which had previously existed. Had this been done and Mr. Resseguie relieved under the new order of things it would havo been a matter of little surprise. As it is, tho people of Salt Lake who have learned to esteem the old manager for his personal and. professional worth feel a pang of disappointment at his parting. We do not fear for his future. Kxpert railroad men aro not so abundant but what one of Mr. Resseguie's experience will bo sought after. (July his removal will be a disagreeable loss to our people. Fortunate for the service and the public that tho new general manager is a man well acquainted iu this city and country from his previoin connection with tho Rio Grande Western railroad. Fortu-nate also that ho is equally conspicu-ous with his predecessor for ability and experience. We do not tear any disap- - pointment at the hands of Mr. Han-crof- t; all we do fear is that in the shift-ing sands of railroad policies he might be changed and a fresh disappointment await us. We hope that among the sundry reso-lutions made yesterday for the year ism, one was to go ahead with the pav-ing of our streets. One of tho wages of TarnoU's sin is the arraignment of the church against his faction. His abuse of the priests will seal his doom. What W Kay la Tru. Our business has grown so in tho last year that we are obliged to enlarge our store which we will do after the holi days and from now on until that time we are offering goods at reduced prices. At prices never known before in the west. Call and see us and see if w hat we say Is not so. Josun & Paiik, The Only Authorized City Time Keepers. It is the company now that strikes; " strikes off the heads of twenty-liv- e ftreet car conductors for economy sake. hii It is bard but probably necessary. a , Pitop a tear at tho interment of the M brave soldiers who fell in the light with rj? the hostile Indians. Whoever may be at fault they did their duty nobly aud unto death. THK KIU.HT SNOW. The air was too balmy for It was an unnatural and therefore an unhealthfiil condition that con-fronted us. While protracted autumn weather is not an exception in this re-gion it is still rare to bold out without interruption beyond New Year. We therefore welcome tho advent of the first snow storm with pleasure and hope the Hake may continue falling now or at frequent intervals until the air is purified of germs and the earth is saturated with moisture. Copious snows will still insure an abundant water supply next summer. Tho storm this morning was not a local one. It was caused by tho cold currents attending the eastern blizzard comingling with the warmer currents of the southwest in which process we became involved. Air in motion is called wind, and air in violent motion is a storm. The meeting of a warm with a cold air cur-rent if slowly progressing produces clouds or fog, while a sudden meeting precipitates rain or snow according to the degree of temperature accompany-ing the whole mass. It is upon this meteorological knowledge that all the predictions of the signal service are based and it is upon this knowledge that we may foretell the coming storms ourselves if the same Information over a large extent of territory were vouch-safed us. Anyway now that winter has mado its first appearance and the sky is still overcast with dense cumulus we hope, and certainly our merchants wish, it may not be too modest to stay with us awhile, affording us at the same time a brief season of sleighing. The new year was ushered In'with Do diminution of crimes and casual-ties. Much as we may deplore it tho law of averages still ignores the good wishes that dropped from millions of lips and came from millions of hearts yesterday. Kansas democrats are booming one Oantield for the United States senate. Tho particular virtuo that commends this alleged republican to the Kansas democrats is his free tratle leaning. However, this is no longer 18H0 and tho year of the free trader is past. Thk Tisiks is free to extend its most 4 ronsidorate felicitations to tho citizens of Ogdfn for their conimuiidable effort in establishing a public library. Were fcfalt Lake equally as interested in such project, the rccruitini ground for habitues of v icu would be restricted. The dispatches state that Cleveland will deliver a lecture before tho Chicago press ciub at an early day. Unless it be from tho text: "How I snubbed reporters in the White House," he'd bettor assign tho task to his late secretary, Laniout. Dan is a journalist. Rumok has it that General Brooke would bo relieved from command at Tine Itidgo. Scarcely. If ha hud been in supremo command tho Messiah crao would havo exhausted itself without bloodshed. Our department chief is the only ofiicer who seems to have kept a cool head. Despite of Wagner and his music of the future the sweet melodies of the past seeiu to lose none of their popu-larity and although every asthmatic handorgan in Christendom grinds out the tender refrains of Trovatore, that master production of Verdi's never fails to elicit boundless enthusiasm. It did here last night. New Year's calling is going out of fashion. There was little of it in this city yesterdiiy or anywhere else in this country save in oliicial circles. For all that the custom is a most excellent one. It was abused, that's all, and now the reaction is on. Some day the pendulum of fashion will swing the other way aud then the good old New Year's call will be reinstated in all its pristine glory. The fire department will be increased by tive men due to the increase of new apparatus. Will the board of under-writers take notice of this fart and re-duce insurance rates? Hardly. There will be a meeting of the directors of the chamber of commerce this evening and if the gentlemen wish to transact some business of vital interest to the people and all the people of the city they will consider what steps to take to bring out the public sentiment regard-ing this matter of exorbitant insurance. It drains the city of too much cash that goe nevermore to return. |
