The strikers, on the ether hand, are equally as de-termined, and hence the fight will no doubt bo ii prolonged one. It will be watched with more than ordinary inter-est by the public. The New York Central railway has a big strike on its hands. The strike came like a flash of lightning and it paralyzed nearly the entire system. The strike was on account of the discharge of certain employes, and it is claimed that it was ordered by the Knights of Labor. The New York Central, as is well kuown, is owned by the Vanderbilts, and the dispatches state that they propose to fight the try and enforce the law, the people were subjected to an obnoxious and hu-miliating police surveilance, the privacy of their homes invaded and their rights as citizens infringed upon. Prohibition did not remedy organic crimes or polit-ical inequalities. The republican and democratic parties were divided on the question of free saloons and no saloous. The republicans were and are divided on high-licens- e and so that they now scarcely know which way to turn for relief. To retreat is to ac-knowledge that they have made a polit-ical mistake; to advance means the certain disintegration of their owu party. What will they do? In their dilem-ma the people may elect a democratic ticket, which will give the republicans a chance to reorganize on more intelli-gent lines and formulate a new policy. But the farmers; the poor farmers! Will they ever learn to get down to the root of all their troubles? Will they ever study primary causes? We believe they will. Their minds are now in a receptive condition. They have lost a little of the seed of sown in their brains and they are beginning to think. They have been told that since silver was demonetized, they experi-enced a change from good to bad times. This they know to be true, and they only wait now to be convinced that it was the demonetization of silver that caused it. '.We are sure a conviction will follow their reasoning and that in two years from now Iowa will be as strong a republican state as ever and as much a silver state as (Colorado is today. We believe the farmers will in a short time see that free and unlimited coinage, will mean a difference to them of hun-dreds of dollars a year, while tho aboli-tion of the tariff on binding twine will only mean a few cents at best. When this time comes Iowa will discard pro-hibition aud other vaporish and barren idealities. IOWA POLITICS. There is some probability that Iowa, which used to give republican majori-ties of from 50,000 to 70,000, and which now has a democratic governor, will make a complete somersault and elect a straight democrat ticket. Should such a result occur the repub-licans will have only themselves to blame, as they have toyed with too many side issues, one of which is pro-hibition. The enforcement of prohibi-tion has caused a general dullness in business, a depression of real estate, and great disaffection among the farm-ers. Iowa being an agricultural state the farmers are in the majority if they unite on any political issue, and it is generally believed that they will at-tempt to secure relief by putting the democratio party in power. There is nothing so effective in bringing a politi-cal party to its senses as a rebuke at the polls. For years Iowa has been dominated over by a lot of demagogues who have, like tho Pharisee, stood in the streets and in the legislative halls and not only said they were holier than the vul-gar herd, but knew more. They knew so much that they diot ated how men should live, what they should eat, what they should drink, and almost how they should worship God. When a set of men proclaim themselves superior to their assoolates, they are dangorous to tho purity and perpetuity of American institutions, but in a short time they be-come obnoxious, aud they are polit-ically decapitated. The farmors have been getting poorer and poorer every year and nearly as often some one has bobbed up serenely and told them all about what caused this condition of affairs, and hnw it could be remedied. From 1878 to 1870 they were told how their troubles were largely due to the contraction of the currency and resumption of specie payments. The remedy was to be the issue of an unlimited volume of greenbacks; but greenbackism never recommended to the financial intelligence of the country, and it accordingly failed. Just about that time the ladies who parted their hair on the side, aud the men with elongated countenances, dis-covered what an enormous amount of money was spent annually for rum. They showed just how many homes this money might have built, aud even how many pairs of shoes and stockings it would have bought. So a tidal wave of reform iuundated the state; saloons and saloon ha-bitues were socially tabooed. Breweries ami distilleries were disman-tled and properly interests destroyed. But the was too great. The farmers anc" general mass of the people not only did not experience greater prosperity, but the quantity of liquor consumed did not decrease. Beer and whiskey came into the state in bottles, cases, casks, by the wagon, car load aud traiu load. To prevent this and to THE DECOLLETE DRESS. Deceut Women Never Dressed So Indec-ently us They Do Today. It is a fact, gloss it anyhow as we niay, that decent women have never dressed so indecently in our country and our century as they do in fashion-bl- e life today. Would that some enterprising jour-nal take the moral census of this subject as a substitute for prize baby competitions or guesses on Nelly Bly. We should like to throw down the gauntlet to the women of America, "defend these immoralities! Speak up for yourselves if you can !" I do not believe that two reputable women in tho land would dare publicly to defend tho styles of undress which now disgrace our sex. The time has more than como for such a protest against this abomination as will smite women to the dust for shame. What is to be said? Enter any fashionable drawingroom and look for yourselves. What is said? Think of it, you high-born ladies think of it ! In the most decorous city in our coun-try, n lady representing what may bo deservedly called one of the "best" families iii the state, herself a middle-aged- , queenly, home-lovin- matron, the wife of an affectionate husband, tho mother of grown sons and daughters, wears her dress but my pen shrinks from writing what this high bred lady does. This case, which represents scores of others, is of importance because the offender herself is so unconscious of her offense and so far in other respects above it There is no life of concealed dishonor, no intrigue, no shoddy birthright, no e views of duty. The woman is otherwise immaculate. How explain this ethical enigma? Are our ladies morally insane, or mentally? Do they not know what they are doing And if not, why not? How shall we characterize tho too low corsage with some nothing for a sleeve? The lower bodice with no sleeve at all? Nudity covered by transparency. And what 'is known as tho V back? They are below excuse, as they are beyond explanation. What moral mania blunts the sensibilities that ought to fix the standards of a nation? What dementia deters the "ever womanly" from "lead-ing us on," at least so far that the sim-plest of feminine modesty that which covors nakedness may keep stroke with the moral development of the age? Let it be said that gay women always have dressed improperly. What of it? Is that any reason why they always should. A Hesult or a Collaboration Between John L. and Klten W.

The dainty ormolu clock on the man-tle had just chimed in silvery tones when Algernon Percy de Velliford came to time looking fresh as a daisy. Iho match was to be to a iiuish, for Ethel Vane had told him it was to be then-las- t meeting. Ethel's father acted as time keeper. Sho did not make a move. It was evidently her tactics to wait for Algernon tn force tho lighting while she played for his wind. Alger-non was too foxy from the start.

The stars giittcr only that their light may kiss the path that yon are treading. Do not turn your head away. Do you not hear mo?

He spoke in monosylables, undertak-ing a series of short-ar- blows. She made a gallant lead, but he countered. "Ah I am so poor," he said. "Were I rich but think of your fam-ily." "What is wcalti or position to me?" she ctied. He reached for her with both hands for a mad embrace. He was playing for her neck, but sho caught him with a stunner over the heart. His breath came heavily; he was evi-dently pretty well winded. "Will you consent to brave the future and be mine, in spite of my poverty and humble position?" "O, Algernon!" she murmured. ' She had knocked him clean over the ropes. THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By T. A. DAVIS.

That President Harrison is being in-fluenced by Blaine is shown by the fact that he has expressed his desire to the chief tariff tinkers to have Blaine's sug-gestions as to reciprocity adopted.

It shows that there is more building going on this season than In any three years combined in the previous history of Salt Lake. And yet what is being done this season is only a fair start towards what will be accomplished next year. A large number of big business blocks will bo completed this fall, but a still larger number will bo only about one-thir- d finished. They will lap over to next season, and will thus start the ball rolling in the spring, and give employ-ment to a large number of mechanics. So it will be seen that wo are already assured of a (Treat, hnilHintr spanon in '18111. Among the most prominent buildings that are now commenced and will be completed next year are the two big hotels and tho city and county building. The opening of the two hotels of couse will be a great event for Salt Lake, and will add much to the business welfare of the city. As yet the demand for business build- - Ings and private dwellings has not be-gun to be supplied. This is especially the case with stores. There is not a store room to bo had in the city, but it is hoped that with the completion of the business buildings now in course of construction this demand will bo sup-plied to a large extent. There are numerous business men who have come here to locate and are wailing for store-rooms. They will begin business in tho fall, and people generally will then be surprised to see the large number of new business houses. Altogether the situation in Salt Lake Is most satisfactory, while the outlook for next year is of the most encouraging character. ' The Lesser Evil. Light.

Paris edition of tho New York Herald: M. Eiffel has rendered real service to mankind in connection with the famous Colossus of Rhodes.' For centuries that impertinent statute has been flung in our faces as an evidence of tho vast su-periority of anciont over modern engi-neers, and thousands of unhappy school-boys have been compelled to com-mit to memory its impudent pro-portions. Now comes M. Eiffel and demonstrates with slato and pencil that no such statue ever existed or ever could exist. There never lived an engi-neer who could have placed a bronze statue standing astride of the entrance to tho port of Rhodes, for the simple reason that tho weight of tho body would have infallibly have crushed the legs. Let us hope that Mr. Eiffel will pursue his good work and demolish the aggra-vating hanging gardens of Babylon and probe that the exasperating temple of Diana at Ephcsus was about the size of an ordinary Methodist chapel. We have been sat upon long enough by the engi-neering impostors of antiquity, not one of whom ever dreamed of making a statue like that of "Liberty Enlighten-ing the World." or a tower like that built by M. Eiffel. Australia, Omaha Bee. Prof. E. M. Skelton of Kansas, who was appointed government agricultural agent of Australia, writes enthusiasti-cally of the agricultural and mineral re-sources of the country. He says Amer-ican farmers would be astonished at the products of Australian fields. Two or three crops are often grown la one year from the same ground. There are no checks to'crops from cold weather, and no feeding season to be provided for. Fruits of all kinds grow in abundance. The light-woode- d country has the ap-pearance of a beautiful park covered with a magnificent growth of grass, often waist high. Great fortunes have been made from the sugar industry. In the midst of all its bounty farm pro-ducts are very high; pork 25 to 40 cents a pound; corn, 50 cents to $1.50 per bushel; hay, $25 to $40 a ton. Muscular Action and Mental Sensations. Popular Science Monthly. The outward sign of a joyful emotion is a drawing up of the corners of the mouth. The elevation of the angles of the mouth is the muscular action going parallel with the emotion of joy. The excitation of the nerve center causes the elevators to act. There is but one definite area from which the elevator muscles can be made to act, therefore joyful emotions must take their start from this center. When, then, a joyful emotion excites this definite portion of gay matter, a nerve current passes to the lower center the center of the movements of the elevator muscles and causes them to act. As the brain is a very complex machine, other effects may be produced at the same time, but this one has always been associated particularly with exhilarating emo-tions. Persons of very cheerful dispo-sitions make the elevators act so fre-quently that the mechanism of the nerve display is facilitated by constant use, and the center will easily appreciate these special impressions. The eleva-tors will be in time so accustomed to act that they will leave impressions on the face so marked to enable people to recognize, by mere physiognomical signs, their brethren who are of such disposition.

The violent discussion about the differ-ence between tweodledum and tweedle-de- e that was lately raised at Newport has impressed tho actors. In no less than four theaters in town there have been allusions this week to the Mrs. Astor. It cannot be said that any of these sallies were particularly witty. Apparently the words "Mrs. Astor" are enough to provoke a roar from the audience. In two of the comic operas the comedians have hesitated before deciding which of the two actresses was the real Mrs. Astor on the stage. It would be Interesting to know what would become of all these great ques-tions and of such "heated-ter- sensa-tions" as McAllister's programme for Prince George's entertainment and the love affairs of the Marquis de Leuville if all of these people were obliged to work for a living.

Legend of the Death of 8olnmon. There is a legend concerning the death of Solomon, alluded to in the ko-ra- n and found in the chronicle of Ta-bar- i, which is to the following effect: Soiomon employed the genii in building the temple, but, perceiving that his end was nigh at hand, prayed God that his death might be concealed from the genii until the work was completed, for Solo-mon knew that if he died and the genii knew of his death, they would leave off building, Therefore he made himself a staff from a tree in the garden and leaning upon this staff, with his head bowed in adoration, he died in the tem-ple. His soul was taken so gently from him that the body remained standing, so remained for one whole year. Those who saw him thought he was absorbed in prayer, and they dared not approach him. Still the genii worked night and day uutil the temple was completed, thinking they were watched in every de-tail by the master whose eyes' had many weeks before closed in death But during all this time little white atits had been gnawing at the staff, and when the temple was finished, a long year after the death of Solomon, the staff crumbled under his weight and the body fell to the ground. Mahomet alludes to this curious lep-en- in the fol-lowing (see. koran Sura xxxiv): "When He (God) had decreed that Solomon should die. nothing discovered death unto them (the genii) except the creep-ing things of the earth, which gnawed his staff, and when his body fell down the genii plainly perceived that if they had known that which is secret they would not have continued in a vile Newspaper, reporters who essay the role of lawyers are sometimes quite successful.

The follow-ing from the Union would indicate that they are: "A young fellow was walk-ing down Twenty-fourt- street with his girl last evening, when another fel-low slopped them and insisted that she to go with him that evening. While they were arguing the point smother fellow came along and got away with the girl."

La Poete, Ind., Aug. 9.-- The board of county commissioners at their set-tlement with the township trustees to-day discovered a shortage of between $1000 and $5000 in the accounts of the late Christian Hauser, trustee of Center township. Mr. Hauser was found dead in Pine Lake some ten davs ago, where he was stricken with apoplexy while takiug a bath, and it is now difficult to tell what he did with the missing mon-ey. His bondsmen, however, will lose nothing, as it is believed Mr. Hauser's estate will be more than sufficient to cover the deficit.
