These are two very business-lik-e amendments, and will probably be adopted. Senator Edmunds has been con-verted to the "doctrine of reciprocity.

The Denver News of Sunday pub-lished a very Interesting illustrated de-scription of the Printers' Uuiou Home, which is soon to bo creeled nt Colorado Springs. Tour years ago George W. Childs, the proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Mr. Drexel, the well-know- Philadelphia banker, presented $5,000 each to the Interna-tional Typographical Uniou, without any conditions being attached to the donations, it being simply understood, however, that tho money should be used for the geueral good of the uuiou. It was linally .decided that tho money should be made the nucleus of a fund to build a home for union printers, and that the institution should bo named in honor of Messrs. Childs and Drexel. The next step was to Increase tho fund, and this has been doue by tho union printers throughout the country settiug one thousand ems of type each year, upon the birthday of either Mr. Childs or Mr. Drexel, and contributing the proceeds to tho home. The fund now amounts, from this and other sources, to over $50,000, . and the land upon THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By X. A.

The first elephant ever seen in Eng-land was sent as a present to Henry III by the king of France about tho year 1255. Numbers of people crowded to see the curiosity, and a special building was erected for it at tho tower.

The carnival palace has been attached by a grasping lumber company that wants its money. The society man who uses the word "cyetheir" in Heaver City is looked upon with distrust. The soldier boys encamped near American Fork have won the heart of every girl in the town. They give rainbow socials at Park City. A rainbow and a nightmare go with every dish of ice cream. A citizen of Ogden left last week for Oklahoma. The price of funerals in Utah has always been considered very reasonable.. The burning of a box car at Lehi last week has aroused the citizens of that place' to tho necessity of a tire depart-ment with a chief and a silver trumpet. The editor of the Commercial hasn't called the editor of the Ogdeu Standard a liar for throe days, and people are to wonder if they really have fallen out. Ogden, according to a paper pub-lished there, is a prolitablo place for hand-orga- n grinders. Does this menn that suekers are more easily "landed" in Ogden than elsewhere? Tho Democrat wants providence to smilo on tho Ogden baseball club. An instantaneous view of providence in the act of smiling on the Ogden ball team would be well worth preserving. " 'Does tho average editor think?' was a question asked us One day last week," says the San Pete Growler. "After looking over the Ogden Stand-ard we have come to the conclusion that he does not." A pair of Provo barkeepers have caused a decided breeze to ripple through the society circles of American Fork by paying continued visits to two young Indies in the latter city.

In the United States court at Cincin-nati a few days ago there was rendered a decision of great importance to travel-ing theatrical companies. It was in a suit brought by the Inter-Stat- e Com-merce commission against the 1'alti-mor- e & Ohio railway company for an injunction to' restrain it from granting special or reduced rates, the complaint being Instituted at the instigation Of another railway company. The court held that tho common carriers of the United Stales-ar- not impaired in their privileges and powers by the inter-state commerce act, and that it is not in the faculty of tho commission to res-trict them from making such rates as they may see lit for the proper conduct of their business. They may classify, scale, and al'.er thoir charges as llioy please, provided only those charges be just and reasonable. This is indeed a black eye to tho com-mission, which has arrogated to itself the right to ruu the railroads as it may see lit, without regard to law or justice. The New York Sun, in commenting on the decision, says that "the funda-mental idea of this decision will be found applicable to tho order just pro-mulgated by the commission reducing ihe grain rates' ou a number of import-ant railroads, and it will be found equally pertinent to the reduction just ordered by the Kansas commissioners and to every other confiscatory and predatory imposition of the kind. The inter-stat- e commission is in cntempt, in the courts ami outside tho courts, and if the railroads suffer at its hands it will be their own fault. They have an ample remedy in the courts, and it is impossible, that they should appeal to thorn in vain " Judge Sage, in rendering his decision, hud this to say in regard to the ordinary itnil mileage tickets: "The holder of the mileage ticket Is a whole-Hal- e purchaser; the other buysut retail. The rtUtorunce Is reco(.Mil7.od In every kind of busi-ness, and no lutein-- , ent and per-son thluks of complaining of It. The mile-lit-ticket, so the testimony declares, Is espec-ially lluhle to abuse, and to be used by brokers for speculative purposes. The party rate ticket, If not. as some witnesses testify, alto-gether unavoidable for either purpose, Is Iohii so than any other ticket, and re-duces the opportunity for either to the minimum. It, too, U a wholrculo ticket. It Is open to purchase to all at the one" fixed price. It Is almost proof against fraud upon the oompauy which Issues It. Aside from the consideration that these tickets arc !n principle In no wine different from mileage, ixcurslmi, und eonmmtat'.on tlckots, which is decisive, the fact that they are on sale to all without discrimination und without advancing mtes for single tickets, and the consideration nhove mentioned In favor of Hume who are on tho road cuntlniutlly and whose business 1h up-l- i' ld by bringing tho cost of necessary travel within their reach, and those In favor of the onrrler, Including many not mentioned above, :unple for the vindication of the respondent '.iKUlust the charge that It is guilty of unjust discrimination and undue or unreasonable preferences, and therefore of violation of the provisions of the second and third sections of he act." Judge Howell Jackson, the United Stales circuit Judgo who concurred with Judge Sago, said iu tho course of his decision: Tho act to regulate commerce leavos the :ommon carriers as they were at common law, free to make special oontraots looking to tho ncroase of their business, to classify their ralllc, to adjust and apportion their rates bo is to meet the necessities of commerce, and eiiorally to manage their Important Interests upoa the same principles which are recog-nized as sound, and adopted In other trades and pursuits.

Miss Ruth Wilson was struck by lightning at Denver last week and lost her eyesight. The tomato crop of Colorado is im-mense this year and every old maid in the stato is nappy.

An Indian while bathing in tho river near Grand Junction, was drowned one day last week. Civilization comes high, but the average Indian will have it. "Jack the Eavesdropper" is the nom de plume of a writer in the Colorado Springs Mail. His stuff is so wretched that he never hears anything good of himself.

Some years ago a barber was arrested in Pari3 for badly cutting a customer. There was no question about the gash and what made it seem worse tho razor wielder said, in a way, he had done it purposely. After the testimony was in the judge asked the barber had henything to say. "Yes, monsieur, I have. I justify the cutting on the ground that it was merely a clerical error, a slip of the pen." "What?" cried the judge, gaspingwith astonishment. "Permit me," continued the lather slapper. "For months the plaintiff has been getting shaved on trust at my es-tablishment. I have no very conven-ient means of keeping accounts, so every time I shaved the gentleman I cut a lit-tle nick in his cheek in order to guide mo in my charges when the long deferred day of payment came. So many nicks of course so many shaves." The barber paused a moment, and the whole court was on the tiptoe of expecta-tion. "But how about the clerical error?' asked the judge. "I am coming to that, sir. It so hap-pened that the account had already ar-rived at the one hundredth nick, and my hand being somewhat unused to making ciphers the rasor turned when I at-tempted them, with the result known." The entire honesty and candor of the barber was 60 plain he was let off with a aae. Philadebhia Press. Guatemala at any time is not a very healthy country to live in.

That the great Burlington railroad to extend its line from Denver to vilt Lake and the Pacific coast there iow seems to be but little doubt. The Denver News says: If the llurllngton was not. going west to !'tah and the coast by way of Middle Pnrk and .Vhlte river, the fact that the Colorado, Utah t Pacllio-t- he Pacirto short Una had obtained i right of way through the canyon of Grand river leading out of the park would be of no to It. Certainly It would not induce it N survey over the takes of the other compa-U"- . :. If this Incipient oanou war does nothing It has developed the fact that the Hurling-- ; jii Is bound for Utah and the Paoltlo ooat. It is believed that all the great trunk oiuls runuing west irom Chicago and :iciosstho Missouri river will sooner or later, build independent lines of thei r own to the Paoilio coast, and we believe that the Burlington will be the first to iri't there. Its history for years past allows that it. is one of tho most push-ing and enterprising railroads In the world. Wherever it runs a lino it pilekly populates the country by means of extra inducements to immigrants uid homo seekers. In that way it soon builds up an immense local traffic. It has a larger local business than i ny other western road. Should it be extended to Utah, this territory will re-ceive an unusual influx of eastern people seeking new homes. All along its lino the Burlington would rapidly build up villages and towns, by holding out every possible inducement to immi-grants. Of all tho western roads that contemplate extensions, we believe that fbo Burlington would be of tho great-est benefit to Utah.: The census gives Kansas l,550,00(i population, and Iowa nearly 3,000,000. Nebraska, however, has had a much greater increaso than either of these states. The Omaha Bee, In comment-ing on this fact, says that tho rapid growth Of Nebraska Is substantial evi-dence against tho prohibition policy in Kansas and Iowa, "which has operated to reduce the val no of property, and ought to be conclusive with practical men against tho proposal that Nebraska shall adopt a like policy."
