Show t , THE SALT LAKE TIMES. MONDAY, JANUARY 26. 1891. , pleaso but a woman's Intrigue decides the iato of a statesman In the last in-stance. It was ever thus. It is but a few weeks ago since the Italian premier won the most unquali-fied victory at the polls and it was sup-posed that with this endorsement his position was secure for a long time to come. Indeed no other statesman in Europe wielded so great an inlluence. All at once and in the zenith of Crispi's power a woman, the queeu, appears, and as in Bismarck' case, threatens to cut short the opioial career of the pre-mier. So the epplt) iu'y vote aa they Thk Rai.t Lakh Timks, au Independent putdlcatlon of which A. K. Arburkle 1" editor and The Times Printing and Publishing (.'o. are owners, comes to our exchange talde this week. It Is a seven column paper well edited and printed, and althouKh not up to the prom ' ised at mdwd. It Is a good paper, and we h pe that Salt Lake City will slay by It. It need It to net torti its advnnt iires to the world as well as all other mining towns. Tlio Telluroide Republican from which this (flotation is taken is very kind, but very stupid and ignorant. There is really no excuse for a paper parading its blockishness when it might conceal it by silence. nerves are taxed the better. At 15 they can begin their studies again, selecting such as they prefer. They will then be able to appreciate the value of edu-cation, and will have some idoa of the responsibilities of life. What they learn during the next three years wid be of practical use. --t- You may ask what there is in pros-pect for any but marriage? Is there anything else for her to do? Have you ever known a woman who was well qualified for any particular calling that few of them ate specially fitted for anything, and when they get married they are found to be unquali-fied for the position they have as-sumed. jf thero is nothing else for women but to marry then letthcin be fitted lor that, and well titled for it. A good wife is a rich blessing to a man, but if she is lacking in wifely qualities and domestic accomplishments she will be a burden and an annoyance to him all the days of his life, and this will insure her misery instead of happiness. SOMETHING ABOUT CIRLS. If You had Out What Would Van do with II r. Quiet observe In Pittsburg Commercial Gaz-ette. Girls are more troublesome than boys, so they say. Why they should be it not exactly clear, but for some reason or other they are jrot as welcome in homes as boy. One reason may be that they are more expensive than boys and not as well qualified to go out in the world and hustle for bread and clothes. As if is now a family of girls is a reg-ular incubus, espocialy if they aspire to be somebodys in the social world. The time was when it was not considered bail form for a girl to work at home, or even to work for wages. - t- T" A girls is very like a boy in disposi-tion and tastes until sho has reached the doll-bab- age. She them prefers dolls to drums, guns and baseball, but has not lost the tasto for romping, climbing and fighting. The savago is well marked in her, hut she is not so much for killing things as tho boy. She enjoys blood ly stories, and looks with admiration on the boy who has killed a snake all himself, or has been chased by a cross billy goat, or has licked a bigger boy. It matters little how plains his dross or his face, tho boy" who has proven him-self a champion is certain to bo the favorite of the girls, while the protty, sissy boy is looked upon as one who needs their protection. He Is allowed to play with them out of deference to his inability to take care of himself. - The females in every species of an 1 mills show a decided preference for the males that are strong and courageous, and show marked admiration for such as aro victorious in battle. Girls are enthusiastic hero wor-shipers, and are inclined to allow their admiration of the herioc to blind their judgements. Military uniforms are specially fas-cinating; not that they are more becom-ing to boys, or more dressy than ordi-nary clothes, but because they are e of heroism. There probably never was a soldier or a sailor who hadn't a sweetheart, or at least an admirer; and you know your-self that every cadet has a perfect swarm of admirers. Ho is aware of this, and shows it by his manner on the street or at picnics. Next to him in importance arenis sis-ters. They are not only proud of him, but feel themselves a little better than the girls who haven't a brother in uni-form. T- f f How are you going to make a useful woman out of such material as this? Maiden aunts say to keep them away from the boys, don't nllow them to see any more of real life than can be helped, and encourage them to look just as protty as ever they can. This has bcon the customs among Asiatic faces for niany centuries, but tho results have not been uniformly good. In fact they have been quite uniformly the reverse, for wherever the custom prevailed the women were far beneath tho men intellectually and so-cially, and some say morally. At least they' were not. permitted to exert good moral inlluence on society. Even in this day the girls who are watched over by ehaperones, and not allowed to associate with the boys, rarely develop into the womanly woman so much admired by men of tasto and culture, or who have marked inlluenre on society. We all know that exercise develops the muscles and increases physical strength. Those who have never experienced small dancers cannot be successfully warned ofgreater ones, nor can those resist great temptations who have never resisted those of a trivial nature. --h t- --t- Kvery girl has a taste for some sort of employment, and in this particular thing she will be most likely to succeed if encouraged to follow it. All the women who have become great or fam-ous owe their success to following their more pronounced taste. Tho average parent does not stop to inquire what the taste of their daugh tors are, but starts them into the regu-lar course of training regarduess of the fact that it has turned out so many fail-ures. They go to school, are burdened with lessons and compelled to commit things to memory that they neither care for nor understand. Before leaving the common school they are put to work on the common school they are put to work on piano and compelled to prac-tice a certain number of hours daily. In the course of time they are finished off in a fashionable seminary and then well, they are ready to marry. - H-- They are ready, according to the codo, to marry, although they are ut terly unfit for it, and do not even know-wha- t it is to become a wife. All they know is that it is regarded as the proper thing to do. Indeed there isn't anything else for them to do, and they are not tit to do it if there was. Is this the proper way to raise girls? Can you expect them to succeed in married life when they have had no training to tit them for it? What is worse still, the womanly in-stinct has been trained out of theni nnd their natural tastes perverted, so that they are sot even unsophisticated. They have no use for tho tine purely decorative accomplishments acquired at school. A large majority of married women will say their training was imperfect, and they have suffered because of it. t- Whnt the American girl needs most is good health. If she has that he is blessed far beyond those who have ac-complishments by the score. .Shu should, above all things else, be allowed to grow up w ith her womanly instincts unimpaired, for upon these, rather than upon her trainng, will the happiness and success and success in life depend. Let her nurse dolls, make clothes for them, build play houses, make mud pies and romp with tho boys. As she grows upencourago herto make clothes for herself as w ell as for her dolls, and to bake pies of donah instead of mud. If she shows a taste for needlework don't discourage her, because herknow-ledg- e will not detract from her social qualities. If of a domestic turn encour-age her in it by allowing her to have charge of certain branches of house-work. If music is her taste alTord her every opportunity for becoming t. - - Don't crowd school work on girls. They don't need it. Let them learn to read and write well, speak correctly and become proticient in the first four rules of arithmetic. Don't hurry them, but let them learn leisurely. There are too many hollow.checked, dull-eyed- , chalk teethed girla now. At 12 take them away from school, or at least do not allow them to study hard. During the three followiug years lh$3!

A DISTRACTED KMFIRB. Since the ascendency of Prussia in Germany, beginning In lfOd, an empire which for seven centuries occupied tho foremost place in Europe and which to-day ranks in population second only to Russia and Geimany, has dropped into comparative obscurity so far at least as the L'nitod States are concerned. Wo mean the dual empire of Austrian-Hungar- Today it is recalled by tho news that the lower house of the Aus-trian parliament was rather unexpect-edly dissolved, the elections for tlio new house to be held in March noxt. The trouble with the ancient posses-sions of tho llnpshurg crown is that they are divided into three distinct anil hostile nationalities, namely the German, tho Magyar and the Slav. After the disastrous war of lH(i(i, and to prevent the disruption of the ein-- j pile, a compromise between tho Ger-- ! mans anil the Magyars was effected by which tho latter secured their auton-- i oniy or home rule. They established an independent government ' with all the paraphernalia pertaining thereto, such us a parliament, cabinet and judiciary, leaving to a mixed delega-- j tion chosen from this and tho Austrian parliament, and to three ministers, appointed for that purpose, tho admin- - istration of the mutual interests of the two halves. Francis Joseph, while emperor of Austria ruled the Magyars of Hungary only under tlio title of king, as which ho was crowned after the compromise in 107. Vol, agreeable us this settlement prov-ed, it only incited tho third nationality which is numerically the strongest, to similar demands which the government has hitherto most strenuously opposed. This is due partly to tho fact that the Slavs do not form a compact mnss, but arc widely distributed among the Ger-mans and Magyars, and principally to their differences among themselves. While nominally pertaining to the same race there is really no community of interest, history or even language between such divisions as the Czechs, Poles and Slovenians, lleuce to satisfy ono would displease tlio others, and to satisfy all would create an empiro of at least live distinct parts, held together by nothing save the waning supremacy of the crown, and a perfect liabel would be the re-sult. It is due to this condition that for many years no cabinet in Austria was able to maintain itself; and it is duo to this cause also that the third largest country in Europe is relegated to a sub-ordinate and really humiliating posi-tion. Count Taafe, the present premier, by dint of shrewd manipulation and half promises, has alone kept himself at tho head of the government for a long time, but his resort to the extreme pol-icy of dissolving parliament shows that even ho is at last at the end of his re-sources. When Turkey Is driven back into Asia, Austria will take her place as tho "sick man" of Europe, if indeed some tinforseen event docs not nicto out to her the fate of Poland. j Donnelly. New Yoi k Commercial Advoit'ser, The appearance of Mr. Ignatius Don-nelly at the head of tho farmers' alli-ance of Minnesota is not in the least de-gree surprising. Donnelly is an honest man, but of a turn of mind that makes him naturally and honestly a champion of anything that is interesting, popular and cranky. Ho has shown this in many ways. His "Atlantis" wai a notable example of wasted scientilic onergy, and in bis 1'acouiun theory ho made himself the butt of the para-graphed but also the admiration of not a few scholars. So in politics; his bent has made it impossible for him to endure the humdrum of ordinary party affiliations. Ho has perhaps been the enthusiastic advocate of more I'topian schemes than any othot man of his day. Nevertheless, we repeat our belief that Mr. Donnelly is honest. He cerlainly is brilliant, and he he has the genius for obtaining free advertisement, so neces-sary for tho succes of a new doctrine or a new party. Should Mr. Donnelly's peculiar talents be called to the atten-tion of tho single tax league it would not surprise us to see him in a year or two leading the farmers of Minnesota in a crusade ngainst the taxation of everything execept the unearned in-crement. He is an easy man to con-vert, and oftcii finds it easy to convert others. Henry .tallies' Draiuatiu Success. London Letter. Another American dramatic success in England has to be recorded. Mr. Henry James, at the height of his fame as a novelist, has turned to the drama in search of new laurels, and has dram-atized his own novel, "The Americans." The play was produced under this title last Saturday at Southport by the Compton Comedy company. So great was public curiosity that every place in the theater holding 1400 was taken a week in advance. Mr. Archer, the Lon-don critic who went down for tho lirst night, writes that the play is a most in-teresting pieco of work, full of alert, telling dialogue, and incidents which show u keen eye for stage effect. It shows specific theatrical talent, which it rests with Mr. James himself to cul-tivate and develop to the no 6mall en-richment of the stage. The verdict of the audience was still more decisive than Mr. Archer's,. The play, of which tho leading part was acted by Mr. Compton, was received from beginning to end with enthusiasm. It is em-phatically an acting play, full of move-ment, life and dramatic quality. Tho present company will continue to por-forr- a "The Americans" in the provinces until autumn, when it will be brought to London. ARRIVALS ANDCL03E OF MAILS.

The verdict of the physician that he cannot recover means a good deal to the raeing world, for it is pretty well known that after tho senator dies his magnificent stable will be sold out at once by his son and heir. Young Hearst has always been bitter and out- - spoken against his father's racing en-terprises, and it is on record that more than ono (iiarrel has taken place be-tween them on account of his large ex-penditures and small returns of the H"arst stable. Young Hearst's aver-sion to racing was so complete that it is said that he even refused, on princi-ple, to go to one of the great contests in which his father's stable was repre-sented by famous thoroughbreds. The disappearance of the Heart stable soon after the break-u- p of Mr. Belmont's superb collection of horses will make a very notablo change in the character of the turf next season. Carry the ltanuer for Meanness. Chlcag Herald. The man who will carry the banner for meanness when tho great day of awards comes around is the domestic tyrant. He browbeats his wife and bullies his children, but a sturdy bootblack could whip him and a year-ol- d calf make him run. Ho is a bird of beauty in company and a hornet at home. His wife is more afraid of him than she will be of death when that grim messenger knocks at the gates and bids her soul come along w'th him. One has comparative respect for such men as John L. Sullivan, who go into the ring and tight their match. But what contempt Is too profound to award the coward who vents his su-perb resources of brutal meauness upon women and children his own wife and his sons and daughters: If I had the arranging of such men's funeral ser-vices I would shoot them off into space that no dust from their mean bodies should deface the honest bosom of old Mother Earth.

Pie a la Missouri. llreat Falls Leader. The story that the governor of Mon-tana eats pie with a knife is a base canard. "Our Joe" was born in Mis-souri, and in that state atiquette that the latter grasp the pie (irmly but gently with both hands, ex-tending each thumb and index finger along the periphery to guard against breaks, rind supporting the undercrust with tho remaining lingers. The pie is then elevated to the mouth and nature does the rest. Bavaria's cray king amuses him-self with shooting at pearants. All the other monarchs aim at tho same victim. Keep your eye on Tim Tive i for the latest news from Topeka, Kansas. To be or not to be, that is the question with Senator Ingalls. The Splendid Character of Lincoln. Howellsln Harper's MaRaalne. If America means anything at all, it means the sufficiency of the common, the insufficiency of tho uncommon. It is the affirmation in political terms of the Christian ideal, which, wheu we shall allirtn it in economical and social terms will make us the perfect state; and Lincoln was the earliest, if he is rot yet the only American, to realize in his otlice the divine purport of the man-date: "Is any first among you? Let him be your servant." lie had a just ambition and a just pride in duty well done, and a just hope of gratitude and recognition; but all these motives sank into abeyance, and may be said not to have governed his action, which was ruled simply by the desire to serve to his best ability tho people who had set him over them. If it were not for the record, this long tale of what ho bore anil did, his patience with every man-ner of wilfulness and weakness, vanitv and arrogance, wickedness and stupid-ity would be incredible. Accidknts on the Northern Pacific railroad are becoming too frequent for comfort. It is as perilous to travel over that road as to participate in an Indian war. Critical Praise For a Talented Writer. Potti watomle County T'ms. If Eugene Ware should move to Omaha Fort Scott will not be left with-out a poet of merit. Mr. Albert Bigo-lo- Paine's verses remind us of W'ords-wort- h in their quiet beauty and gentle pathos, though there is no plagiarism and no imitation. No passions are torn to shreds in Mr. Paino's poetry, but sympathy for the lowly and distressed is there and much that shows a deep study of nature. Takino its clue from the slanderers of Salt Lake the Logan Journal declares this city "is becoming a veritable chamber of horrors." The Journal is a veritable storehouse of lies. It A Pit) HUE. The Ogden Commercial which appre-ciates a good thing when it sees it. and which allows no petly jealousy to stand in the way of expressing its feeling, re-lieves The Timks from a reference to itself which its innate modesty pre-cluded heretofore, by the following magnanimous remarks: We foci g 'inline pleasure in the fact that Tin-- : Salt Lake Timics Is in a very uncomfort-able position at present.

The American girl has the reputation at home ol beino; anything but a little fool. After the Banquet Is Over. Allentown Critic. There is something soft and tender in the fall of a single snowflnke, hut when it conies to crawling- out in the morn-ing and shoveling away a big drift, it's mean and disgusting. Au Kle)hant's tlaff, Cincinnati Euqnlr r. One of tlio Robinson elephants took a whisky toddj last night, the formula for which is as follows: Three gallons of whisky, live gallons of molasses, ono barrel of water. Tho recipe does not commend itself to the experienced taste. There is too much water nnd sweetening and too little of the "Old Hi tch" is rjuoted as a terrible example of the speculative mania. As the old man is still worth around million dollars the example is really not so terrible after all, but what some people would like to imitate it. Hostile ami Friendly Indians. Dnifcp's Magazine. I' is a hard matter to tell a "friendly" Iin.ian from a hostile one. The only sure test is to wait and see how they act. If they pass you without showing tight nnd then, come back in the night and steal your horses, they are friendly, but if they kill and scalp you they are "hostile." Am. the ingenuity and skill of men tire, dwarfed by a singlo violent throb of nature. The storm in New York plunged the metropolis in primeval darkness and gloom aud mud yester-day. How impotent we are after all. In Darkest Uothem. Hoston C;io'.. llev. Mr. Junor. of New York City, has made a sort of religious census of that town.

WHATKvru the silver pool or the designs of the syndicate forming it may be, tho principle of free coinage is not invalidated by the thing or men and the efforts of" the monotlallists to torture tho investigation of tho pool into such a meaning are as desperate as they are ahsured. . j Iletter Than Whisky. ' New York World. j A steaming cup of coffee to a chilled car driver is an excellent tract, teach-ing the lesson which the soldier and the sailor aud the sportsman know, that tea and coffee warm but whisky does not. i Teoplie who HiiatV tho sparkling fluid known as champagne will be interested to learn of a trial just closed in New York, in which some enterprising deal-ers were, convicted of putting real champagne labels on a spurious article of "fiz:'.." Not everything that pops is champagne, evidently. Thk spasmodic appearance of the sandliaggcr several months ago is still made the subject of longwinded edito-rials in the country press un the preva-lence of crimo in this city. It will take several months more for the truth to overtake the. falsehood and expunge it. Instead of taking a loyal pride in the capital city aud metropolis w hich gives to t'tah most of the prominence the territory enjoys, a petty spirit of spite seems to animate the backwoods scribes who are never happier thaa when they can injure the reputation of this city. Contrary to this contemptible policy tho people of Salt Lake entertain a generous feeling towards the rest of the commonwealth, and aid or lead in all worthy enterprises throughout the same. There is more Salt Lake capital invested in Utah mines than any other. The railroads projected here are all calculated to benefit the territory and the sugar in-dustry just, started receives ils financial backing in Ziou. We might multiply examples if need be. There is no need for the country press to malign and traduce us simply because one of our own slanderous sheets deems it good policy to do it. Mai ration iys. Anaconda 8landi:rd. The levenue of the Salvation army is $750,000 a year, a fact which shows a tolerably flourishing business in spite of i the policy which keeps salvation on the free list. With a majority over all of nineteen why should the Kansas farmers insist on unseating two republican inembcts ot the legislature on short notice, un-less they expected a number of the alliance to vote for Ingalls. At any rate the new party resorts to devious means to work its reforms. The MokquUo Loses First 1'lare. Hoston Herald.

Boston Trancript Her forearm and hand cast in plaster was the paper weight presented by a wife to her husband tor Christmas. A p.hkezk was raised in army circles hy the assignment of Assistant Adjutant General McKeever to General Miles' headquarters because, forsooth, the two olficers do not speak as they pass by. A similar assignment was made aome years ago to General Howard. This is II the more unfortunate as the adju-tant general is virtually tho secretary of the commanding genoral and should therefore be nearest in his confidence, lint it shows that with all the discipline and esprit and what not that is sup-posed to obtain in the army, there is more ill feeling among its officers than in any other known organization. How-ever, ty did not require the McKeever pifiode to demonstrate ih'm fact.. And Now for the Tale of Woe. Boston Herald. The principal fruits of Kansas are now Ingall's speech and Plumb.
