Three times thisamount is the niininimu required for successful agri-culture, but since wa do not, rely here on the supply of moisture from the same source, but on irrigation, it is plain that the dry climate is thd cause of more comfort than inconvenience to us. Indeed the more we study the offi-cial statistics of the signal service the more impressed are we with the match-less advantages a kind providence has bestowed upon us. ANNUAL WKATIIKR. The annual report of the weather ob-server in Salt Lake City for 181)0 is out nnd it exhibits most remarkable cli-matic condition, unlike that of almost any other city in the union. In the matter of average temperature we ate on the same isoterm as Vienna, Paris, Philadelphia, and Pekin, but unlike any and all of these places we enjoy a greater uniformity, both extremes of summer and winter being modified in our case Hence a mean annual tem-perature of fifty-on- e degrees is not only the happy medium lying within the belt of tho greatest human activity, prosperity aud endeavor, but it is still enhanced in this region by its accom-panying conditions. Of these the most remarkable is the prevalence of sunshine.' Of the 3(15 days of the year, 192 are reported as entirely cloudless and 102 as partly cloudy, leaving only seventy-on- e days in the year that were overcast. The total wind movement is another factor of favorable consideration, due to the shelter which the surrounding moun-tains provide for us against fierce storms. The daily velocity in this city averages but little over 100 miles, or not much over four miles per hour. We know of but one place on the civilized earth, and that Is Merao, a famous health resort in the Alps, that at all compares with this record. Although it was claimed that last winter was ex-ceptional in point of snowfall, we find that the total grcjpHijiori for the entire j i .

If the alliance movement has any meaning it is as a popular protest against corporate inllueuce; as an up-rising against grinding Inonopolies. Necessarily it is in the west that the movement has gained the greatest force and is expected to work tho greatest changes. Yet ho would be a bold pre-varicator or a rave visionary who could perceive any reform in the direction in-dicated. Oh the contrary, it is a curious fact that tho very elements against which the alliance movement was prin-cipally directed have tho hest reason to feel satisfied with the course pursued by tht) reformers in the legislaturesjup to this time. Thus the Omaha Bee which is a staunch advocate and published wilhal in a state swept in November by the new tidal wave says: "One-quarte- r of the legislative session has elapsed and absolutely nothing has been done to restrict the powers of the corporations or lighten the burdens of the producers. All the time has been consumed in tactical maneuvers, most of w hich were conspicuous for lack of liict. Day after day has been frittered away with speeches, futile motions and squabbles over constitutional points. And there is still enough material for delay and discussion to bring the legis-lature to the Inst day of its legal session without accomplishing a single reform of the many it was elected to carry out." This we understand is not due to the luck of will, but to the lack of ability. However, lip the cause what it may, the effect is tho same. Tho corpora-tions do not wish for anything better. A legislature bought and paid for with their own money could uot please them more. This simply shows that' a party created In a day cannot enduro more than a day. To bo effective it must be of deliberate growth and thoroughly assimilated. It must have the power to concentrate upon any measure of re-form for which it contends. The alli-ance Is nothing but a mushroom plnnt, the outgrowth of a widespread discon-tent and in so far as it sn11phnsi7.es this discontent it fullills a useful mission. As an independent party, however, it is a complete failure. REALESTATE LYNCH & GLASMANN, 221 Soutli Alain St Offer the following propor-tion at the remarkably low prices quoted. r r BANK OF COMMERCE.

SATURDAY JANUARY. 24. 1801 TK pampered nobles of Europe, in-dulging in every excess and vice, de-spair when one of their own fold suffers the degradation they bring upon so many lowly victims. The Hungar-ian Count S.irmay, whiso dissipation scandalized all Europe, was prostrated when a long search for his only daughter finally led him to her discov-ery in New York, tho '.nmato of a vile den, and yet he was only hoisted by his ownpetard. Figs do not on thistles grow, Tub confederated states of America are growing belligerent. Following in the wake of Tennessee tho legislatures of Missouri and Texas now refuse to participate in the Chicago exposition if the election bill becomes a law. If the country allow the south to intimidate it in this way then it might as well aban-don legislation altogether unless it be upon the previous consent of that sec-tion. PKnrRTrAL revolution marks the history of tho South American repub-lics, and Chili is the last one to break out. This condition is not conducive to a policy of reciprocity which this country proposed. HEI.HilO AND DISCONTENT. Tho pope is earnestly striving to meet tho social discontent of the time with a quickening of religious feeling. It is said ho is busy on an encyclical letter relating to this subject, and all his recent utterances are pregnant with this sentiment. Yesterday the pontiff took occasion to say in a missile to the German emperor concerning tho dis-continuance of the kultur knmnf. th.it "the mllo-iou- ! sentiment affords the only means of solving the existing terrible social problems. Our mutual convictions of this fact are a bond between us, although divided by faith." This plan of salvation is very commendable. The only trouble with it is that it is not feasible. Great as is tho social discontent in the civilized world the religious discon-tent is no smaller. There never was a time when the foundations of the old faiths were so violently shaken by doubt and skepticism was so rampant as it is today. Millions of people, nominally Chrlsltans, are nncertitin of their own belief and distressed with apprehension for the future. Even the churches themselves are floundering in a deep sea of doubt. The Presbyterians have practically no creed at present, while the old home of Calvin himself has be-come the hotbed of atheism. In the Congregational school of Andover, founded for the purpose of providing "for the church a learned, orthodox and pious ministry." a fierce war is now raging against the Brlggs faction which is ac-cused of tearing the old creed from its sound moorings. Among tho Baptists many regard the world as be-yond the hope of redemption and await the early coming of the Savior as tho fulfillment of His promises, while many others of that denomination refuse to accept this interpretation. The recent trial of the Rev. Mr. McQueary shows that the spirit of heresy is rampant even in the conservative Vpiscopal church, since the accused citoi! :iple evidence that he was not aloue iu the priesthood to hold his peculiar ideas. Perhaps tho Methodist church is least affected by internal and doctrinal differences, un-less it be the Catholic church which is immovable and unchangeable forever. But even here a spirit of rebellion man-ifests itself in such permanent move-ments as the old Catholic, led by Bishop i Dollingor, the French Catholic led by Pere llvacinthe, not to speak of the spread of infidelity as expressed by Kenan and Strauss. With a discontent so wide, so deep and so formidable in her own ranks, we fear that the church is not in a lit condition just now to heal the dis 'out-- ! ent existiug in the social world. EMMA ABBOTT'S WILL. Nine churches profit by her goneroj-it- y and thay will uot regard the money as unclean because it was earned in a successful career on the stage. Kansas City Journal. Emma Abbott's will, in directing the cremation of her body, as well as in leaving nearly $50,000 to nine different churches, is one of tho curious develop-ments (if not one of the "pointers" of a queer time. I lard ford Times. The dead singer vindicates, in her be-quests, the helpful and kindly life that she lived. Her earthly possessions, after suitable provisions for members of her family, are devoted to uses that harmonize perfectly with the teachings of tho Naarene. Brooklyn Citizen. It isn't often that the church is a leg-atee of tho theater; but no church neeil be ashamed to accept the bounty of so honest, noble and charitable a woman as Emma Abbott. She was a credit to the profession that is too often thought-lessly misrepresented. Boston Record. Emma Abbott, the opera singing who was not afraid to substitute "Nearer, My God to Theo," for the jewel song in Faust, nnd courageous enough to talk back in meeting to a minister who had unjustly assaulted stage performance, was pronounced in her religious pro-clivities. She showed this in her will, by leaving $5000 to each of nine churches which she liked, and tho rest of her estate to various chartiablo in-stitutions. Lowell Courier. Admiration or Emma Abbott in-crease now that the prlovfsions of her will have beeu made known. Never was a largo fortune disposed of in a manner to accomplish more good. Vanity dieted the founding of an insti-tution which should bear her name, but instead, after having provided for her immediate relatives, she divided the bulk of her fortune among charitable institutions "already founded aud Kansas City Times. Will the churches accept these be-quests aud continue to denounce all who utilize their dramatic talent in public as essentially bad and demoraliz-ing in their inlluence? Or will they ad-mit that, while there is much evil iii the lower class of dramatic entertainments, it is possible that some who portray life and character on the stago may be pure in motive and conduct and os worthy of respect as tho best in other walks of life?
