There is no ecouomy in parsimony and the council last night acted wisely iu allowing the means re-quested and required for the improve-ment of tho service. In view of the greater efficiency of tho tiro department and also in viow of the tiro liuiils fixed by law and to bo ex- - tended from time to time we hope, Tun Timks would like to ask what reason and what sense exist for maintaining in this city the exorbitant insurance rates now prevailing- Considering the building material which enters into all our new structures, and considering, too, tho unusual width of our streets which renders a rapid spread of a tire almost impossible, and considering furthermore the total absence in this mountain-sheltere- locality of all high winds, which is a mighty factor in tho calculations of underwriters, we would like to know why in justice our peo-ple should be compelled to pay clou bin the premium on lire risks obtaining in tho east. Human nature is peculiarly constituted. We "kick" ngainst any attempt to increase taxation, although the rise in real estate values may justify it. or indeed the improvements intended to be carried out with the larger reve-nue thus derived maybe calculated to still further enhance the worth of property, while wo bear meekly an impost absolutely unwarranted and in many cases exceeding in amount every other tax levied by the city. We believe that the history of our fires, the location and situation of Salt Lake, tho favorable meteorological conditions obtaining here, combined with the honest endeavors of the city council to ensure greater safety on one band and greater efficiency on tho other, entitle us to a lower rate of insurance than is now being charged, by at least DO per cent. The Timks suggests this matter to the considera-tion of the chamber of commerce. It THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By THE TIMES PUBLISHING 03MPANY.

We understand Member Cohn of the city council has prepared an ordiuance the city of Salt Lake for the purposes of municipal elections as follows: Municipal war 1 1 Is to l0 compose I of wards 1, ID, 11, SI, Including Fort Dmnrlai ant all cut to the city limits. Muuloipal ward i is to bo compound of eccle-siastical wards --'. W and .' J. Municipal wr-- 3lst be composed of eccle-siastical wards 8, 13, 18 and part of 17 lying east of Outer stre.'t. Municipal ward I Is to be composed of eccle-siastical wards 'I, 7, I I. iind part of 17 lying west of Center Htreet. and lit. Munlcli)al ward is t b composed of eccle-siastical wards 6,0. 15. lit, and J, and all the city west of the Jordan river. A careful study of the map of Suit Lake will convince tho most chronic partisan that the ordinance is devised wholly in the interest of fairness and without tho least regard to politics. Some such measure, fair and equitable in its provisions, should have been adopted long ago. The wards for some time past, if not forever, have been ridiculously unequal, both in m.o and population. Under tho new apportion-ment this gross defect will be cured, so far as practicable, nnd conform with tho spirit and meaning of tl o law which requires that tho city shall bo divided into live municipal wards as nearly as can be in compact form and in equal parts as regards population, each ward being entitled to three mem- - bars in tho city council. The new division takes a voting pop-ulation of nbout 1.100 for its basis, as near as may be. Under the old dispen-sation tho First precinct cast MOO votes, the Second .700, the Third and Fourth each i00, an I tho Fifth MOO, an in-equality so patent and absurd as to be Indefensible We are giud to know that tho council appreciates the import-ance of tho oubject, and proposes to consider a measure tit once ju.st and non partisan.

AVe do not agree with Prof. Gold-wi- n .Smith's philosophy and moral ex-tracted from the liirchall hanging, Prof. Smith lays it down as a rule that no young man should be sent to college who does not show a decided inclina-tion to study. "If, instead of being tent to Oxford, this young man had been kept steadily at work in some useful calling, he might have gone decently nud, perhaps, creditably through the world. Sending him to college, where, having no literary tastes, he was sure not to study, and where, being idle, be was sure also to bo dissipated, was tho mistake which sealed his doom." Unless it is shown that any other training would have made a useful man of liirchall, tho professor's word for it will not suffice. There are murderers not taught in college. In fact, we should say the percentage of college brd mur-derers is comparatively insignilicant, and proceeding on this showing we might draw tho opposite moral. While it is true that no young man should be sent to collego who does not show a de-cided inclination to study, it is not be-cause of tho demoralizing effect it might have on his virtues, but bocause, a Ingcrsoll onco expressed it, a polished pebble is no gain.

That inspection does not always in-spect appears anew from the more dotailed accounts wo read of the recent accident on a public stand in Hrooklyn. Half a hundred reasons, says an ex-change, have been brought forward for the accident during tho football game on the Fastern park. The patent stand on which lifteon hundred persons wero placed seems to have "folded in" be-cause it was not properly braced. Shut-ting up like a parlor bedstead, it al-lowed all tho people to slide to the ground. That uouo were killed seemed mirai'tilons. Had there been a panic the consequences would have been fear-ful. Tho inquiry sinro the accident brought out tho singular fact that in-spectors are never sent to the park to test stands unless tho contractors send notice that such stands have been put up. This ought to be remedied at once. It leaves tho lives of hundreds at tho mercy of any inconsiderate person who may wish to rent stands at games. AEEIVAL3 AND 0I03E OF MAILS.

Fhkk trade bills without number will encumber tho pigeon holes of the com-mittee on ways and means, designed to supplant tho McKinley bill. In tho meantime tho tarilf law is doing v ery well, thank you, and will not bo changed. THE TIKIf'K AM) MI.VKK. To be candid about it we do not bo-lie-thero will bo any further legisla-tion on silver this winter. Of course there will mil be any on the tariff. So far as silver is concerned the concensus of opinion is that the new law has not had a chance to bn fairly tried, owing to outside interference, and that a meas-ure born after so much labor should not bo set aside without at least a reas-onable test. This argument is plausible and being advanced by the administra-tion, and by the speaker, and by tho chairman of the coinage committee, it will have its intended elfect. Moreover, the present session expires by limitation on the 3d of March, ami it will take up all tho available time to tran-sact tho unfinished and routine business now before congress. Those who re-member the silver debate last summer will realize the time it would absorb to bring a new bill to a vote in a house com-posed today' proeisely as it was last ses-sion, of a strong membership determined to light any relief measure in committee, on tho lloor and in conference, to the bitter end. Tho task may Indeed be regarded as hopeless. What makes tho prospects for the passage of a free coinage bill this ses-sion stiil gloomier is tho fact that the republicans aro certain of the eVedit of enacting such a law, even if it does go over to tho Fifty-secon- d congress, as the democratic majority in the housf would be impotent in the matter with-out the consent of the republican hia't jority in the senate, For the reasons stated any hope of further silver legis-lation this session might as well be abandoned. Aj regards the tariff no changes are needed and nohn will be mado ut once. Tho McKinley bill as a whole is a care-ful and conscientious measure which will give greater satisfaction as its op-eration becomes better understood. There may be some modifications re-quired as time passes on and as defects become apparent or as new conditions arise, but no such contingency exists today. No matter if the democrats do interpret the late election to mean a re-pudiation of protection, an analysis of the vote docs not show it nor the senti-ment of the American people bear them out. It is out of tho question to devise a tariff that shall be acceptable to all interests alike. The McKinley bill aims at tho greatest g od to the greatest number, and in this it will prove superior to any previous mea sure. To tamper with it now, just as business is adapting itself to tho new law and experiencing the benefits there-of, would be simply insane. Common honesty demands tho elec-tion of Fred Dubois to the senate from Idaho, and we believe our neighbors to possess more than common honesty, lint for Dubois there would be no sen-ators to elect from Idaho just yet. Tuf. Sioux threaten to dance all winter or die. It seems to us either al-ternative will lead to the same result, and before spring tho census in the happy hunting .round will show a gratifying increase Pahnkll and Sitting Hull will have to make way for something new. Accoiidino to Fiuffalo Bill, if it was spring there would bo war. Aye, there's the rub. Knutskokd is not an euphonious name for the1 new hotel. Why not call it the Benson? Democratic papers don't like the president's message The trouble is not with tho message.

Poor Tribune, its memory is failing fast. It would be a calamity if Gladstone felt constrained to retire from politics before borne rule has been secured. A change from Rice to Keene in the theater will be appreciated. The gal-lery gods must be satiated by this time. Jay Gould's little axe fell upon 200 men in the yards and machine shops in Omaha and Council Bluffs, and winter is at hand.

The Farmers' alliance is a new laid egg. Were its incubation to proceed according to the laws of the genesis of things in their nature de-stined to achieve independence and per-manent being it might have a being. 1'ittt up to tiiis time it has been the in-strument of damagogueism, not because it rank and file admire demagogues, but because in its desire to make itself felt in politics it has not been particu-lar about the means The head farmer (it'the alliance has announced that the long expected third party has come and come to stay, and some of the organs announce that the alliance will have its full ticket in IHSI2. That is reasonable to suppose. But there are soma facts not taken into account apparently by the prophets of the alliance. The sin-gle fact that may give the thinking adherents of the alliance pause is this: That no party devoted to avowed class interests has.ever "come to stay" in this country, Oxe plumber at least cannot have it all his own way on this earth, as wit-ness the committee report to the city counoil on Plumber Rush. By a strict party vote the election bill was taken up in tho senate, which means that tho party vote will be strictly cast for the measure. Perhaps the St. Louis Republic will ceaso its ghost dance uow that it has learned that Miner must (?o. Tho Re-public was very unhappy on account of Mizner.
