If they were given an opportunity to invest in mines we would have no trouble in getting money for development purposes. It is to the best interests of the mining regions that the alien laud law be repealed in favor of mines and mineral lands, and wo hope that Mr. Carter and his west-ern colleagues will succeed in their efforts. TUB ALIEN LAND LAW. Congressman Carter of Montana, in urging the repeal of tho alien land law, so far as it applies to the ownership of mines, expresses the sentiments of the people of the mining regions of the country. The law was originally passed with a view of putting an end to the alien ownership of agricultural lands so that this country would not be cursed with absentee landlordism. Foreign capital was being largely in-vested in agricultural lauds, which were beiug sublet lu small tracts to tenauts, after tue English method, and this was what caused tho passage of the law. Attentiou was first directed to the threatened evil by the operations of an Englishman named Scully, who pur-chased largo tracts of land in Illinois, and established a system of tenantry. He lives in England and never visits his property. He draws his rents and spends tho money in England. Another thing that tho law was intended to pre-vent was a monopoly of lands by for-eigners, who wero buying up whole townships. Mr. Carter, in urging an exception to bemado in favor of mines aud mineral lands, maintains that it was not in-tended that the law should affect such property, and we thiuk he is right. More capital is needed for tho development of tho western mines. Local money is not to be had in sufficient abundance to supply tho demand for this purpose, while foreign capital can be obtained in great quantities, especially from the English, who seem to have more money than they can use. They aro con-tinually seeking opportunities in this country for the investment of their superfluous capital. Having been barred THIS DATK IN HISTORV-AUGL- 'SI 90, 1591-R- Herrtck.

Sunday in Ogden is a very "dry" day in more ways than oue. Hitching horses to fire alarm posts within the city limits of Ogden is pro-hibited. Tho opening of the Broom hotel has delayed tho cutting down of the weeds on that $275,000 hotel site. Tho Tascott who was captured by an overzealous tin horn detective at Kick-fiel- d was not Tascott at all. Ogden has formed an Annanias club in order to bring the real estate men and editors inti closer communion. The organization of a choral society in Ogden perhaps had something to do with the sudden drop in the price of rent. Tug" Wilson was arrested at Provo for passing a forged check. He is not the "Tug" Wilson you are thinking of, however. Tho Ogden Commercial is authority for the statement that Rider Haggard looks like the young emperor of Ger-many. A decided compliment to the emperor. A mountain lion met a book agent on tho mountains above Park City the other day. After gazing into each others eyes for a few minutes, tho lion blushed and slunk away. The prisoners in tho Ogden jail at-tempted to escape agaiu this week. Some how or other tho appreciative powers of tho average Ogdon prisoner have been blunted, or there has been a decidod improvement in tho Ogdon res-taurants. A woman was killed by the cars and a brakeman fatally wounded Monday near Ogden. Thn astute gentleman who is supposed to presido over the as-sociated press at that place has not evi-dently learned of the fact yet up to the hour of going to press. Mr. Toniardson Sidurdson was mar-ried to Miss Wilhelmiua G. lljaldmar-so- n at Spanish Fork last week. The clerk who issued the marriage license h'ts gone east to recuperate, and his typewriter has sued him for the price of a now machine. The minister who performed the ceremony has put on a "sub." until aftor the heated term. Numerous cowardly attacks have been made through an Ogdon news-paper upon the Reverend Samuel Small by anonymous writers. The fact that Small handles religion on the principle that a stable hand renovates his place of business does not give license to every moral coward to abuse him un-der the guise of a nom de plume. Small strikes from the shoulder in broad day-light. His maligners under the cover of darkness assassinate from behind. A Scrap Metal Timepiece A clock of marvelous construction was exhibited to tho membars of tho Liverpool workhonso committee. One of tho inmates named Mercer, who was suffering from bad eyesight, but who had formerly been a watchmaker, made it out of pins, buttons and, all sorts of odds and ends. The task occupied him three years. Mercer was sent for and said ho wished permission to exhibit it at the Polytechnic exhibition. A written description, headed "The Timepiece," set forth that the back and front of the clock were made from the ends of iron bed laths, while the barrel was part of a lame brass ferrule, the ends boing brass buttons hammered out. The barrel arbor had originally been the blade of a shoemaker's awl; the main and several other wheels had originally served as trousers buttons, tho teeth having been formed of knitting needles. The teeth of tho center wheels had once been rivets in a boot, and other portions had also served in capacities differing largely from that they now occupied. Tho dial consisted of over fi? hundred pieces put together, the hours Toing in-dicated by the maker's name, which was alternated with small Roman numerals -'- M, I; E, III; R, V; C, VII; E, IX; R, XI." The ingenuity of the clever bit of mechanism was admired by the mem-bers and permission given to the man to exhibit it. Morcer said he thought that by exhibiting it he might be able to get some permanent work in a clock-makin-establishment. London Star. FrKSIDENT UoCKEKKLLElt, of the Standard Oil company, the most gigantic as well as tho richest corpora-tion in the world, proposes to give $20,000,000 for the founding of an national Baptist university near New York City. Tho Standard Oil company can well afford to give away something, and although its proposed geperosity is on a niagniiicent scale, it should not be forgotten that its woalth has boen acquired through monopolistic robbery and oppression. If it would return to the men, whom it has squeezed out of busint'ss and ruined by unfair means, a portion, 'of tho money thus ob-tained it would bo doing a simple act of justice. ,...'' AcconiHNa to Iiradslreet's tho wool markets are unchanged and uninterest-ing. Enough material is going into consumption to hold prices steady, but too little to present any appearance of activity. There is a general disposition on tho part of buyers and; sellers alike to await developments with respect to the pending tarilT legislation. In the Huston market line fleeces are quiet, tho bulk of the week's business having been in territory and Texas wool. Fewer worsted manufacturers than a week ago have been on hand. At Phil-adelphia the inquiry for ileeco wools is rather better. In tho New York market and, indeed, elsewhoro quotations are In great measure nominal. The fall chp in California, it is reported, will bo unusually small, partly because of largo losses of shoep last winter and partly by reason of increased demand for mutton. The war clouds of Europe aro back in the hovering business at tho old stand. , Silver is making rapid strides to-wards tho l.i'l) mark. It will soon reach tho objective point. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. The number of raco courses around Paris has increased largely, and the betting which they engender has become a serious evil. Tho Heligolanderg rarely lock their doors, but when they do they leave the key where it can be reached by anyone seeking admission. A woman at Chester, Pa., dresses her children in their bathing suits, distrib-utes them on the front lawn and then turns tho hose on them. Tho board of education in Columbus, Ohio, has decided that hereafter there shall be no difference in the salaries paid to men and women who are teach-ers in the public schools. Tho birth rate in England and Wales has been decreasing ever since 187ti. The last quarterly report shows no diminution, the rate beiug only about four per thousand above the French average. A census taker at Danbury, Conn., encountered the wife of an Irish r, who tried to conceal her hus-band's humble occupation by stating that he was an "ascender and descen-der." The inhabitants of Heligoland have a strange custom on new year's eve. They then perambulate the streets with broken pots and pans, which they place before their friends' doors, and the man who has the largest heap before his cot-tage is considered the most popular. A youngster fell from the Michigan Central train, making forty miles an hour, near Albion, Mich., and when the train load of horrified passengers was backed to where it was expected to find the mangled remains, the baby sat laughing and playing in the sanil of the embankment. One of tho standing properties in the prison of Uskub, Macedonia, is a col-lection of small ants. Fifty ants placed on the body of a man chained to the floor so that he can't move limb or head will cause as extreme torture as can be devised. The Blisslield, Mich., postmaster has issued a formal notice that he won't lick stamps for anybody, and that hereafter letters dropped in the mail box with 2 cent stamps don't go. He says that the letters will be held for postage even if a $5 bill is pinned to everyone. The breaking out of the influenza in Iceland has caused a considerable panic, as the consequences of the disease there have been serious. Of the 57,000 inhabitants in 1843, 2,000 diod of the influenza, and in 1876 1,500 persons were carried off by the same disease. The recent increase of the salaries of government officials in Germany will swell the civil list in the postal depart-ment by about $2,500,000. As 85,000 persons (85 per oent of the German pos-tal employes) are affected by the in-crease, no one will get a Very big slice. The Omaha councilmmi were well pleased with fhoir reception. Salt Lakers never do anything by halves. Linkville, Ore., reports a stago rob- - bery. Linkville is evidently making a bid for consideration as a metropolis. A Protest from a Summer Visitor. Tyrant custom is in nothing more tyrannical than in this matter of the Bummer visit, which as now constituted can be a matter of enjoyment only to lovers and children, for whose benefit it would appear all custom's laws are framed. The rational man, let us hope, will always be truly hospitable. He will delight to welcome under his roof an in-timate friend for adoption into his own family during an indefinite period. He will even return this visit cheerfully, forgetting his small discomforts in the many compensations of the pleasant in-tercourse it confirms. But until his whole nature changes he will never honestly enjoy being bound over to good behavior for days together, among comparative strangers, in a house that is not his. Of "all forms, modes, shows of grief that fashion has in-vented this is surely the most irksome. O Informality, what deceits are prac-ticed in thy name! One might as well put on the trappings of a courtier and accept feudal servitude at once as in a land of freedom, under summer skies, to be trammeled so. Scribner's. LmiiKTr park, the only place in the city which brings tho country homo to tho eyes, is far from being tho place it should be. When the Omaha council-mo- n wero driven through the park yes-terday ono was heard to express wonder that a place of such possibilities was left to slumber as an alfalfa Held. They do it in a somewhat different way just now in Omaha. For years that town had been as negligent in all things re-lating to parks as is Salt Lake now, but recently an awakening came and the people there swear by thoir park sys-tor- n as they used to swear at it. A change should come to Salt Lake. The expenditure of a fow thousands of dol-lars would make Liberty park what it is not now a thing of boauty. A big lake,' grottoes, and foliage could easily be added. The drive is good as it is, but a landscapo gardener with a good fund supplied could make tho park bloom as a rose. There's no uso in maintaining fourth rale institutions in a first rate town. The king of Corea is out of money. If be is a singlo man, he ought to have no trouble in trading his title for an American heiress. The special administrator of the Davis estate in Butte, Mont., has given a gilt-edge- bond in the sum of $3,500,000. The list of bondsmen shows that Butte has no lack of rich men.

He will'know more when he gists older. The fellow that robbed Col. David II. Moffat, of the First National bank in Denver, of $21,000, bids fair to become ns celebrated for ubiquity as has Tas-cott, the murderer of millionaire Snell, of Chicago. COLORADO NOTES. No native ColoradGan takes any "stock" in the Bellamy idea. A "good time" in Silver Plume means a keg of beer and a day's outing. "Teller's amendment" is the leader in the editorial columns of all the Colo-rado pross. Thoro is a railroad station on the D. & B. G. called "McUinty." No one would be surprised to see it go down. Aspen has a female tonsorial artist. As she Is twice a widow, the "boys" look upon her with considerable dis-trust when sho says "next!" A new court house is to be built at Lamar. If there is one thing the town of Lamar needs less than another just at the present time, that thing is a court house. The motor men on the electric cars at Colorado Springs will strike for steel corsets, or the women must stop pok-ing them in the back when they want the car stopped. "From Kansas and her many terrors, good Lord deliver us," says the editor of the Pueblo Star. No matter where ho goes the Missouri native always demonstrates his home training. Though tho Lord is seldom appealed to for protection. Colonel John Arkins, in a column interview with a Chicago Post reporter, said the political situatiou in Colorado was a most interesting one. But he did not say anything else. The oyster could gain an excellent fund of infor-mation if it would keep an observant eye upon the colonel. S.MAM.KK BUSINESS 1ILOCK8. The press is unanimous in advocating the division of the blocks in the busi-ness center, and we believe that the majority of tho pooplo are in favor of it. There is no denying the fact that the blocks are much too large. Each block can be divided into four, aud thus bring into use for business purposes a largo number of lots that otherwise would vacant and The division would greatly Improve the bus-iness center in many ways. At present tho center of the blocks ts a dumping place for all sorts of rubbish, and further-more in caso of lire It is almost impossi-ble to reach the rear of buildings. The value of properly would be iucreased sulllciently to compensate tho owners for making the division. This matter has been discussed for a long time, - and everybody is convinced that it would be highly advantageous to the city to have it carried out. Wo hope tho prop-erty owners will not get together and put it into execution. It is announced that cholera has made its appearance in London. It was brought there by a steamer passenger from Calcutta. However, cold woather is near at hand, and it is not likely that cholera will become epidemic thore. The millionaires of Colorado might club togother and raflle for Senator. Teller's seat. There is a sufllcient number of moneyed men in tho Centen-nial state who aspire to earn $5000 a year in the senate to mako it interest-ing. CiiAUNCEr M. Depew can make a ton-strik- e by cabling from Europe nn order to have the New York Central strike satisfactorily settled.

O'Donovan Kossa, the former fenian terror and puncturer of the British lion through the medium of servant girl tithings, is now a drummer. Ono would at first thought opino that O'Donovan had erred in not adopting a wind in-strument as a means of subsistono?o,but when it is learned that it is the other tort of drummer, it seems to be all right. Why Dinner Was Very'l,te That pay. Here is one on Thad Spindle which, though it happened some time ago, has not been told: Thad went home one evening not long ago and found that din-ner was not ready. The groceryman had not sent his basket of marketing which he had ordered on his fray down town that morning. The cook had ex-pected it every minute, and this caused the delay. In no happy frame of mind he went to the grocery some blocks away and wanted to know why his market basket had not boen sent out home. Re-grets and apologies were ample. It would go at once. Now Thad doesn't mind carrying a market basket when he is in good hu-mor, but he left still in high dudgeon and scorned to touch it, leaving it for them to send. If there is one thing that he likes better than his dinner it is hunt-ing, so on the way home he stopped to talk gun to his friend the doctor. He did not hurry, ns he knew the dinner had to be cooked before it could be served. Fi-nally he noticed that there was an exceed-ingly diminutive darky with an exceed ingly large market basket sitting on the curbstone just out of earshot from him and the doctor. The darky looked very like one he had seen in the grocery, and the market basket looked very like his own. "What are you doing there?' he inquired. "YT'y," stammered the nod-ding little sleepy head in black, as he started up, "W y, sah, Miss Dora, she say fo' me to follah the gem'man, and I'se follah'n yo sah." Louisville Times. It has been suggested to The Times that the board of health can do human-ity an everlasting favor by cau sing the carting away of garbage to be done at night. The removal of decaying matter in the middle of the day is not only un-sightly and below the dignity of a first class corporation, but olfensive to the breathing apparatus of the average mortal. MEN AND WOMEN. Baron Hirseh, the richest man in Eu-rope, is coming to America this fall. Luckily for Commissioner Porter, ho is not obliged to make affidavit to his census returns. Washington has a r, a swearer aud a drinker, according to Mr. Lodge's biography of the first in war, etc. Young Grant, Alan Arthur and one of the (iarlield boys met the other day in Philadelphia. Neither knew the others by sight. Tho largo contracts which have been let for supplying beer for the world's fair loads us to fear that the prohibi-tionists are not beiug consulted. General E.etaof Salvador, who kicked up the tremendous muss in Central America, is only 27 years of age. It shows what a young man can do if he tries. Dr. Fell of Buffalo does not hesitate to contradict Mr. Edison on a question of electricity. Still, Mr. Edisou's opinion on tho subject of electricity continues to be highly respected in other circles. Senator Cockrell of Missouri is as a "tall, thin, sharp-faced- , shrill-voice- d senator, noted as the most excitable man in the senato, and a good type of the old fashioned controvertial-ist.-" Dr. Ernest von Bruecke, the noted physiologist, who opposes vivisection, has retired from the faculty of the Vi-enna university after an uninterrupted course of 41 year's teaching in that ins-titution.
