Show 1 1 4 THE SALT LAKE TIMES. MOXDAT Central America also is attacked with the revolutionary fever, the war be-tween Guatemala and San Salvador being likely to involve neighboring re-publics. If the revolutionary tendency keeps up in South America much louger, every country in that section of tho earth will bo iu a turmoil. Brazil, which recently kicked monarchy from the throne and set up a republic, has lapsed into a quiet state, but there is no telling when some new excitement in that country will unsettle the new con-dition of affairs. The Argentine re-public has just passed through a bloody revolution.and is yet in a feverish state. And now comes the news' that serious trouble is brewiug in Chili, and that a revolution is likely to be the result. upon the governor for state assistance. If we are not mistaken, the New York Central oiliciala did nothing of the kind, but at once called out the Pinker-to- n army. The presence of the Pink-erto- n thugs never fails to create indig-nation and trouble. The sight of them is to the workingman and the striker what a red rag is to a bull. It simply infuriates him, and upon the least dem-onstration tho Pinkerton thug fires a shot at him. The Hew York Central officials have made an inexcusable blunder for which they will be ealled to account. THE riNKKKTONS AND THK STRIKK. The employment of Pinkerton men every time a railroad strike occurs gen-erally results in bloodshed. The New York Central strike has provod no ex-ception to the rule. The fact that five innocent citizens have been fatally wounded by the Piukcrtons in Albany will arouse such a storm of indignation not only in New York but all over the country that stringent laws will be en-acted prohibiting the employment of any such private armed forco for any purpose whatever. The managers of the Pinkerton agencies have gone far beyond the province of detec-tives. They have usurped the place of tho state authorities Bnd of the state militia. They have become tho mercenary hirelings of rich aud auto-cratic corporations. They have organ-ized an army of thugs and toughs, who are enlisted from the worst slums of the large cities, aud who without any justifiable provocation will shoot down a respectable citizen aud workingmau almost as readily as they would a dog. There was no possible excuse for the employment of tho Piukerton thugs by the New York Central. The great stale of New York is amply able to protect any railroad property and to put down any riot. The usual custom is to call upon the county authorities for protection, and if they are not equal to the emergency then to call YESTERDAY I IIISTOKY-Al'GK- ST 17. 1iS- -E Iward V and his brother Hieliara, DuUo of York.

DITIKS OF A CONGRESSMAN, Tho misreprcsentalives in congress are iu a perturbed state of mind over tho McKinley tariff bill, the chief of many troubles with it being that they have it on their hands and want to get rid of it in sonio way. They don't care much what becomes of it so they get it out of their hands. In cold blood they have declared this In a caucus recently hold, tho reason for such a declaration lying in the fact that thero are cam-paigns in progress in nearly all the states, and members of congress are needed at home to help out iu the elec-tions. This brutally frank definition of the duties of a statesman to amuse himself in congress when not busy at home has a queer look to people who have had an idea that congressmen were elected for the purpose of working in tho intereslsof theirconstituencies. But then the people are wrong. That isn't what a congressman is elected to do at least not just now. He is elected for the most part to fool voters while away from home, to insult them by doing as he pleases, placing himself thereby in the position of being wiser than the masses who were fools enough to vote for him. And then it is his further duty to come homo at the dictates of his own lack of conscience to talk and sweat and promise so that ho may get a chance to go back. If the people had sense they would treat their congressmen just as they would other hired hands, and when ono developed a disease for sitting on the fence and chewing tobacco instead of getting to work on the harvest, he should bo kicked off the premises. There is just about as much conscience and about as much true representation in congress today as thero are ice cream parlors in the infernal regions, which are nolitolv ealled sheol. The campaign in Nebraska has as-sumed an interesting phase. Tho re-publicans, democrats, and farmers have each put a state ticket in the field, and tho prohibitionists will add another one. A prohibitory liquor amendment to tho constitution is also to be voted on. This question will causo many republi-cans to vote the democratic ticket, which is headed by Hon.James E.Boyd, one of tho most popular men in Nebraska. Although Nebraska is largely repub-lican under ordinary circumstances, the domocrats have a fair show of vic-tory in this campaign.

There is employed on the Herald local stall sumo critical journalist who evi-dently thinks The Times ought to be conducted to suit him instead of tho public. That The Times suits the pub-lic is evidenced by tho fact that its cir-culation has in less than six months in-creased from 700 to 8150, and today' we have the largest city circulation of any paper published in Salt Lake. We shall continue to publish The TniEslnaway that will please the public, notwith-standing the carping critic of the Her-ald, who, if lio will attend strictly to his own business will find such a course more profitable to his employers. Ho is kindly advised to stop editing the Herald through its local columns. These remarks arc called out by , the gentleman's efforts to ridicule a recent item in our columns regarding the probable investment of $1,500,000 in building enterprises in this city by an eastern man. The following letter shows where the item came from aud explains itself: OlLCn v, Pa., Aug. 3, ISl.-Frl- ond Reese: Mr. Parker came from Bait Lake, stating yon were there, and wants yon to remain there un-til we cotno. We want to build three blocks that will cost five hundred thousand dollars (J.VKI.0 0) each. The one you built for us here gave entire BUlHfactiou. You can choose your own arch tuct. Ho sura and remain until we get there. 1 remain, yours truly, Mr. lleeso, to whom the above letter was directed, Is a well-know- building contractor in this city, lie is construct-ing the big Holmes block, and has numerous other large contracts. The parly who wrote him the letter is a very wealthy man, whose name!, at tho re-quest of Mr. Reese, is withheld for bus-iness reasons. ,. ELECTRIC SIGNALING AT SEA. A Device Promising Better Results Than Any Thus Far Obtained. An apparatus for signaling in which electricity plays a prominent part is about to be introduced, and for marine signal-ing and night operations it gives every as-surance of being able to do moro than any other apparatus now in use. It con-sists of a hollow iron pole, from the right and loft hand sides of which project horizontally four oblong metal frames. Each of these contains two shutters, which in their normal position are horizontal, and which are mounted on axles so that they may be revolved. One side of each pair of shutters is painted vertically with rod and white stripes, while the other side forms a white dia-mond on a dark ground. At the inner end of each shutter is fixed a recessed pulley over which passes a chain which, on being pulled, grips the pulley and causes the shutter to revolve. . Only four working chains are required, the lower pulley of each frame being operat-ed by a subsidiary chain suspended from its corresponding operating chain. The working chains are carried to the bot-tom of the iron mast, where they are joined to wire ropes extending to the deck of tho vessel, or any other desired part thereof. The shutters represent the alphabet and also certain signals. Thus, on caus-ing any shutter or combination of shut-ters to be exposed by pulling any one or more chains, any letter or words may be flashed. The four wire ropes are secured to horizontal lovers, so that by depress-ing or raising any one lever any message may bo signaled. Tho operator has only in front of him the four levers and a card upon which the signal code is printed. Signals may be transmitted with this apparatus with great rapidity, and it does not require an expert to work it. The electrical part of tho apparatus com-prises four electric lamps, fixed at the four corners of the frames, and is only used for night signaling in conjunction with the 6amo code. The four lamps are backed by colored reflectors, and are connected with 'a battery or dynamo, as tho case may be, through make and break switches. Thus, on depressing any switch, its corresponding lamp is placed in circuit and lighted, and on re-leasing the switch the light is extin-guished. By this means any signal may be flashed. ... A fifth electric lamp is also fixed on the apparatus and is used pure-ly for lighting purposes. New York Times. The. sanitary condition of Salt Lake is not what it shoiiid lie by any menus. Many of tho alleys need a thorough cleaning, aud it should be done at once, Tub Now York law prohibiting boys under sixteen years from smoking cigar-- ; ettes or using tobacco in any form goes into effect September 1st, and is to he strictly enforced. A similar law ought to bo passed iu every state. Clergymen's Attire. It is surprising how the fashion among ministers of religion of wearing, a dis-tinctive dress is dying out. A few years ago nearly every minister wore a white necktie, a vest buttoned closo up to the throat and a coat of similar peculiarity. Now all is changed. Tho white tie has long since lost its clerical mark, and when a minister wears a coat of the kind that used to be his exclusive, property lie rather makes himself conspicuous by it than otherwise. In a city of conven-tions like St. Louis a change of fashion like this is very conspicuous. I can re-member the time when a religious con-ference brought here a crowd of dele-gates whose profession was as plainly defined by their garb as if each wore a surpiico or gown. Now ministers dress very much like business men do, with perhaps a little moro preference for black; but each pleases himself as to cut ;nd style. Interview in St. Louis Letter. Dixey's wife has sued him for divorce. Shakespeare never contemplated such a thing when he wrote of Adonis. Hut then Shakespeare didn't contemplate an Adonis who should play stud-poke- r until the milkman came out, either. It is reported that g Milan is to wed tho widow of (loneral Karrios, of (iautomala. Mrs. llarrios, who is a very wealthy woman, is now living in New York. Milan is a royal deadhcat and bankrupt. Mrs. Barrios has our sympathy. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Hirseh, the Jew baron, said to be the richest individual in Europe, will shortly visit America. The portico that is being added to Whitelaw Keid's residence at Ophir Farm will contain 100 handsome pil-lars of granite. - - The only colored delegate to the Mis-sissippi constitutional convention is I. T. Montgomery, who was a slave of Jefferson Davis. Joseph Haworth the actor, and Miss Mirian O'Leary, of the Boston museum company, are found to be interested in an English estato of several millions now in chancery.' As young James G. Blaine rolls down to his twelve-hundre- d dollars-clerkshi- p every morning in the state department carriage he is universally regarded as a' sublime spectacle. Maxwell Evarts, son of Senator Evarts, who has just been appointed assistant United States district attorney at New York citv, is a graduate of Yale, class of 1884, and twenty-seve- n years of age. One reason of Senator Plumb's great popularly in his state is that he answers every letter he receives. His mail is larger than that of any ot aer senator, and ho employs three type-writter- s to attend to it. John Erhardt, who died in Brooklyn Wednesday, was the oldest customs in-spector in the country, having entered the service long before the war. He was the father of Collector Erhardt, of New York. M. Stahbouloff, the premier and practical ruler of Btilgama, is about forty-si- x years old. He is short, rather stout, and with his round face, black mustache and small, gray eyes some-what resembles a Chinaman. The duke of Fife is one of the shrewd-est of business men. AH his invest-ments turn out well. He took some foundry shares in a London trust com-pany not long ago at $150 each, and they are now worth $4,500 each. Magill of Swarthmore College, and Andrew D. White, of Cornell university, who is to wed Dr. Magill' s daughter, Helen, in the fall, were classmates at Yale forty years ago. Dr. Magill did not finish his course at New Haven, however, but graduated at Brown university Provi-dence. Miss Magill is one of the most scholarly of American women, holding two degrees from Swarthmore college, one from Boston university and one from Newnham college England. She studied aboard for several years. When he was at Odessa, not long ago, the czar visited the barracks, which had, of course, been newly painted and cleaned for his inspection. The com-mandant, with the idea of impressing the imperial mind with the care taken of the soldiers, hired a lot of warm, bright blankets and sheepskin mats, which were placed on and by the side of the men's cots. The czar was highly pleased, and, on leaving, turned to one of the sentries at the entrance to the dormitory and asked him if he found the blankets warm enough. 'T've never tried it, Little Father," was the innocent reply; "we have no blankets but our overcoats." An Editor Ohjrcts. M. Maynard, the editor of Le Figaro, vigorously protests against the way in which Joan of Arc is just now being exploited. "Thero are," he observes, "few figures in history so glorious and touching as that of the Maid of Orleans. Two bisnops are getting up costly and unnecessary monuments of her; statues of her aro being raised everywhere. Let us leave her aloue with that halo of tender respect which has never been denied her, and not compromise her glorous deeds by pulling and exagger-ation." Fame is a double-edge- sword. If it were not for the fact that Jim Corbutt of San Francisco is a great prize lighter it would not bo worth while to tele-graph the news all over the country that his brother has just been arrested for forgery. And now comes the report that Tabor, of Denver, has secured a largo block of stock iu tho Rocky Mountain News, following its recent purchase by Hon.ThomasM. Patterson. If such is the fact, it will bo dirticult to conjecture what the future politics of that journal will bo. I'AKIltH AND l'KDDI.KKS. The Timks again calls attention to the growing nuisanea of street fakirs and peddlers. Tho and brass-tongue- fakirs select tho most prominent corners and collect immense crowds, thus blocking not only the street but tho sidewalks. They have nothing to sell that is needed by the peoplo but what can bo purchased at legitimate places of business. Their stock in trado generally consists of some medical compounds, corn cures, pain killers, tooth-ach- e soothers, verm-ifuge, catarrh remedies, herbal ex-tracts, rheumatism cures, liver pills, blood regulators, and so on. All these medicines, whose curative qualities are lauded to the skies by hired talkers, can be procured at the drug stores, which do a legitimate business, and pay taxes. Tho medicine fakirs pay no taxes, and they pick up a large amount of money from tho peoplo who are humbugged into buying their stuff, even when they do not need it. The amount of loose money that Is carriod away by these traveling tramps is very largo. There are also several other street nuisauces. Among them are the walk-ing peddlers who promenade up and down tho most crowded walks hawking their wares, to the annoyance of the pedestrians. Theu there are the side-walk "merchants" who occupy several feet of valuable spaco. The fruit stands, the caudy stands, the cooking outfits, are all obstructions and should be re-moved. They, too, interforo with the trado of legitimate business men, who aro all anxious to have them either sup-pressed or compelled to hire spnee in some other place than on tho sidewalks. Just why the city authorities allow all these nuisances to continue is something that the business men can't comprehend. It is about time that the fakirs, tho peddlers aad the sidowalk obstructionists generally bo set down upon. As a rule they are strong healthy men mid able to earn their living iu soma more legitimate way. The I'roIIIlo llannnn. Of all the vegetables which furnish nburishment to man the banana is the most prolific. A single cluster often contains 100 to 180 pods and weighs from sixty to eighty pounds. Hum-boldt says that a piece of land 120 squnre yard will produce 4,000 pounds weight of fruit, while the same area will rarely produce more than thirty pounds weight of wheat or eighty pounds of potatoes. Seeing the Bishop. Beyond their septennial, or, in lator years, triennial, confirmations in towns, a bishop was an unknown quantity in the country village. A poor woman once remarked to me that she would have liked to be at church the day of the confirmation, "'cos them 'ere bishops are so arnshent (ancient) and beautiful." I was told by the vicar of a small town in the south of England that a servant girl in his parish asked one day if she could be spared for an hour or two, as she was anxious to see the bishop, who was coming to confirm at the church. Leave was given, but in the course of an hour the girl returned. "Well, Jane," said her mistress, "you're soon home again. You can't have really seen the bishop." "Oh, yes, ma'am," the girl re-plied, "I've a zeed en!" "Well," says the mistress, "what did you think of him?" "Oh, ma'am, he popped and 'opped and jumped about; twas beauti-ful to zee en." The story was soon ex-plained. Jane in passing through the town had seen a crowd of people collect-ed around a dancing bear, and never having seen either a bishop or a dancing bear concluded they were one and the same thing. Cornhill Magazine. Tub proprietor of tho London Matri-monial News, against whom judgment for$00,000 has been obtained by a young lady whom he wou through one of his advertisements, and whom ho promised to marry, has come to tho conclusion that advertising does not pay. The young lady, if she gets her judgment paid, will hold a different opinion. Thk boycott idea of tho Atlanta Con-stitution has already bomo fruit. A school teacher iu Fayette county, had tho audacity to vote the republican ticket. Tho fact was dis-covered and he was immediately boy-cotted. All his pupils havo been taken out of school, aud thoir parents declare that they shall not be taught by a re-publican. Tho schooner Mary Anderson has sailed from San Francisco in the hope oflindidg the $2,000,000 lost years ago when the Brother Jonathan went down with all on board. Nobody knows where the vessel sunk, but a skipper of the Pacific thinks the good luck which follows the name of Mary Anderson may locate the lost treasure, Pooit old Missouri is bound to main-tain tho reputation which the James boys gave to her. Another bold train robbery occurred iu that state on Sun-- ( day morning. The robbers, who got away with $1)0,000, carried out their job ' in a manner that would cause one to be-lieve that their movements were di-rected by the spirit of the late lamented Jesse James. Queen Natalie of Servia's trouble have told terribly upon her. In two years she has aged twenty. It is said that she suffers from waut of sleep and has recourse to opiates. Her beauty is gone, and with it her youth, and the wreck of her former self is all that is left to the tale of her life. She is the personification of a political riddle in the solving of which a nation is rendered wretched, a queen outraged and a mother disconsolate. UTAH NOTES. City and district schools open the first of tlm coming month. Ogden has a barkeeper that soils beer in live different languages. A man who smokes ten-ce- cigars is looked upon as a "nabob" in Eureka. There are 228,58!) peoplo iu Utah, be-sides tho man who runs the Eureka Chief. "A 'tony' saloon." says the San Pete Growler, "is a place where the beor is two-third- s foam." The Nenhi Sentinel has chauged dresses aud is published twice a week. It is neat and newsy. The Manti Seutinel is blessed with a libel suit. Some editors are always finding four-lcave- clovers. The Provo dramatio club appeared Friday night in "Velvet and Rugs." No outbreak iu tho audience occurred. Those who claim to know sav that the editor of the Ogden Commercial never was subject to headac.ho of any kind. A. D. Shakespeare has been appoint-ed chief steward of the Ogden club and members have everything served "As You Like It." An Ogden undertaking establishment uses as its motto on its letter heads, "Live and lot live." No doctors are connected with tho firm. Prove has sufficient population to be-come a city of the second class. Tho metropolis on the south has all the re-quirements essential to becoming a first class city. Between the Commercial and the Democrat it is no wonder that t he editor of the Standard claps his hand to his head the first thing in the morning upon awakening. A man living north of Ogden saw a meteor fall the other night in the shape of "a large oblong ball of fire, slowly passing from north to south." Two drinks of Ogden whisky taken in suc-cession would make a man see almost anything. "This is the ago of pessimism, real-ism, crankism, damphoolisra and all the isms that suffering humanity is heir to," says the San Pete Growler, "and the reception accorded Talstoi's 'Kreutzer Sonata' simply demonstrates tho mor-bid condition into which the public mind has fallen.

Dammann are now in the height of their beauty, and attract much atten-tion. The plants are two in number, ono on each side of the main entrance to the house, and immediately in front of the parlor windows. Each plant is 27 feet in circumference, 5 feet high and has about 800 blooms. These blooms are about eight inches in diameter, and of the most exquisite shade of pink and blue. The hydrangeas are supposed to have been planted in 1835 by the late David Stewart, who built the residence they help to adorn.

Ilu must spend at least two or three days there. In fact, he can spend a whole week in Tiutic and see and learn some-thing now every day. Edwin Orrin's American circus in-vaded tho state of Zacatecas, Mexico, and the day after its arrival an epidemic of measles broke out among the inhabi- tants. Now all the s in declare it was a punishment for allowing the show to come into the state on some special saint's day and break up a religious procession. |
