Show EVENING, MAY 15, .1800. 4. THK SALT LAKE TIMES, THURSDAY garding oleomargarine was conlinned by tho supreme court. A lawyer who argued tho ease said that point was fully established, but that 'an attempt would be made at the next session of tho legislature to have the oleomargar-ine law repealed. Undjjk the recent "original package" liquor decision of the supreme court of the United States, an interesting ques-tion has arisen regarding oleomargar-ine. '.The Pennsylvania law prohibits the manufacture, sale aud use of that article within that stale. It is now ar-gued that if a law prohibiting the sale of liquor in packages purchased in an-other state is unconstitutional, that the oleomargarine law is unconstitutional for the sumo reason.

Ik there were a tariff on talk the o on the tariff bill would probably be cut short. The lletort to Gulzot. A candidate who displays needless assurance, and who gives himself airs, 1b sure to draw down from his examiners Mine humiliation of his vanity, soino dis-agreeable or severe reproof. And if, in his answers, he indulges in smart repar-tee or sharp retort, he is certain to pro-voke, if not a reprimand, at lcat.t the severity of his judges. Before giving an instance I must first premise that Ouizot, the examiner on tliat occasion, had recently published a "Life of Cromwell." which the publfc re-ceived with mortifying coldness; also that the Black sea, in Latin "Pontus Euxinusi" is shortened in French into "Pont Euxin," also that "pont" is French for "a bridge." While Guizot, then, was examining at the Sorbonne, after questioning a stu-dent whose answers seemed to him wido of the mark, he asked, derisively: "You can at least tell me how many arches the Pont Kuxin had?" "Easily enough," the young man pert-ly answered. "Exactly an mnny aH your 'History of Cromwell' has had readers." Such n gross insult, uttered in public, naturally did the candidate moro harm than good. All the Year Round. As to the voting of recent franchises, it is but just to the city council to say that its action is in accord with the overwhelming sentiment of this com-munity." The voting of the Rapid Tran-sit franchise was in response to a reso-lution, adopted by a largo majority, at a mass meeting of s who fav-or publio improvements of till kinds. In this meeting neither politics nor re-ligion figured in any way, and the past was not considered. Tho present and the future were, the matters under con-sideration, and tho sentiment of the meeting was that the council should make immediate headway in the matter of public improvement and in every-thing else that would be of benefit to the city.

If that state had moro silver and lofis corn it would be better off. Oh. Ily tho Bye! George liorton. In my sanctum I sat ouo day, nervous and tired, - . With a mountain of work yet to do, When in came a fellow who said he desired To roumiine of my moments a few. Ho talked for an Hour, but at last he arose And his form disappeared throuh the door; Hut it opened HKaiu. and he stuck in ids uose With an -- Oil. by the bye !" And came back for a naif-hou- r more. He sat ou the tue of a chair, With his hat lilted back on his head. And he talked with a breezy and nonchalant air Till I wished I were crazy or dead. When this second infliction was brought to a close. And had bowed himself out as before, 1 returned to hiy work -- but he stuck in his nose With an "Oh. by the bye"' And came back Tor a half-hou- r more, He had lungs that were leaf her and cheeks that were brass. And ills voice tore my nerves like a saw; If Samson had met with this tedious ass Ho'd have killed him. I know, for his jaw. He tallied and he talked till I itched in my toes To kick out this unparalleled bore. Then lie left, but a third time ho stuck in his nose Wilh an "Oil. by the bye!" And came back for a half-hou- r more. And I sat there like ue in a horrible dream, Assailed by a KlblK'ring Imp. Unable to stir hand or loot or to scream. Perspiring, impassive and limp. Hut when lor the fourth time lie ended my woes. I sprang up, slammed and bolted the door. For fear lest again lie should k In his now With an "Oh. by the bye:" And come back for a r more. Then I said to myself: "There is not upon earth An utltlctlon so grievous and dire As the fellow who comes with addenda of mirth, ' Who repeats till you nearly expire," Aud there's not such a iltud, I will add ero I close. This side of the sulphurous shore As the talkative nuisance who slicks in his nose With an "Oh, by the bye !" Aud comes back for a halt-hou- r jnoro. Again Tin'. Timks rises to ask what has become of those c.oursi6ns from Denver, Kansas City and Omaha to alt Lake? Tub Canadian prophet Wiggins is now engaged in locating the star of Bethlehem.

The Herald says Salt Luko is all right. No one denies that fact, except such lightning visitors as Mr. Hiall of Omaha, who spent just two hours here, and then returned to his home and published a statement that Salt hake had flattened out. The Herald repeals just about what The Times has said on several occasions: The very best evidence that could exist that Rait Lake is all right is furnished in the fact that there was never before a time when so much building was under way. There is scarcely a Work in the city on which nothing is lielng dona in the way of improvements. Many handsome and costly business blocks, equal, If not superior to anything in town are ill course of erection, and the new residences that will be built this year will run into the hundreds. It is predicted that fully twice as much money as was spent last year for brick, stone, lumber aud labor will betxpended here for the same things this year. Soextensive are these Improvements that were the visitor of last year to come again in IS!H, he would not rixoguiKe me cu y. x no hhcib nu are decrying Salt Sake and pwtdictliig all sorts of dlro things, should take into account the facts as they exist. If they will do this they will conclude that the city is about as "solid" as any town in America. The present is all that could be desired, and tho future is all bright aud promising. Finger Insurance. In a party of insurance men an acci-dent policy man put the question gener-ally: "Whet do you think is our most unprofitable risk?" Most of those in the party named persons engaged in danger-ous avocations, such as railroad men, powder makers, etc. When each had received a negative one R.sked tho smil-ing accident man the answer. "Tailors," said he. "They're simply awful." "How on earth can a tailor injure himselff" was tho chorus. "If you'd stop to think it would at once present itself," was tho retort. "They prick their fingers. You vell un-derstand that in making a close seam every particle of -- the tailor's strength is twiniml In holilinrr t.liA rlnt.h A prick in the finger disables a coat-make- r, and we have to pay him $23 a week until he gets well." Cincinnati Enquirer. '"' Tnii Tribune evidently wants to be excused from that invitation of tho city council to name the four boodlers and produce tho proof in substantiation of ta charges. Tub Eiffel tower was struck six times by lightniug in one day recently. That's tho ktnd of a lightning vod that the American oflieo-seekc- r has long been looking after. First Glass Factories In America, The first glass factory In what is now the United States was erected in the year 1009 near Jamestown, Va., aud the seormd followed in the same colony twelve years lator. Inl6t!9 some acres of ground were granted to glassmen in Salem, Mass. Tho first glass factory in Penn-sylvania was built near Philadelphia in 1683 under the direction of William Penn, but it did not prove successful. The first west of the Alleghanies was sat up by Albert Gallatin and his associates, in 1785, at New Gnova, on the Monon-gahel- a river. A small factory was estab-lished on the Ohio river, near Pittsburg, in 1700, and another in 1795. The earlier attempt failed,, but the last was quite successful. In 1810 there were but twenty-tw- o glass factories, with an out-put of less than $1,500,000 annually. At the present time there are hundreds of factories, which yearly put over $100,-000,0- worth of glassware on the mar-kets. St, Louis Republic, The Denver Republican pays a de-served tribute to Senator Jones of Ne-vada. It says that ho is by all odds the ablest authority on tho subject of silver in tho senate ut tho present time. Thkiik is a demand for an evening train each way between Salt Lake and Park City over Mr. Young's new road. It is hoped that this train will bo put on at once, as it will prove a great ac- - commodatiou to the public. . Self Possessed. In the time of the Indian war, about 1G75, the church tX New Milfbrd, Conn., wa3 in charge of Parson Boardrnan. It is not with the good parson, however, that this story has to do, but with the parson's wife. A general alarm had seized upon the community, and tho people were flock-ing to the fort for security. A man was sent to the parsonage to warn Madam Boardrnan of the danger from a hostile attack, and to help her a:ul tho children to escape. He was excited, aud natur-ally urged immediate haste. To this the quiet woman calmly re-plied that she would be ready to start "as soon as she had knit into the seam needle." Youth's Companion. Some days ago the Herald suggested that Salt Lake erect a twenty story building for tho various societies, and that it be called the Kiffel tower. If an Eiffel tower is needed in this city, why not utilizo Col. Thomas O'Brien? HONORED WHtN DEAD. James W. Marshall, who first found gold in California, was never benelited in any way by tho discovery, although it made fortunes for a host of men and was tho means of rapidly settling up and developing the Golden Slate. Mar-shall lived in poverty and died in desti-tution. His memory, however, is pre-served in a monument, which has re-cently beeu erected upou the spot where ho made his discovery. The bronze statue of Marshall represents him as a miner, holding in one hand a nug-get of gold, and wilh tho other hand pointing to the place where lm first struck the precious metal. It is a pity indeed that Marshall was not properly provided for during his lifetime. As-sistance to the living is a much belter monument than marble or brass erected over the dead." A son of Taltnage, having just gradu-ated from college, threatens to follow in tho footsteps of his father and invade the lectnro Held. A great many who have heard the older no doubt think that one Talmagc in the field is enough. The contract for the foundation of tho now city and county building has been let, and the work is to be pushed forward at once. Now let immediate steps be taken towards awarding the contract for the superstructure. The erection of this building cannot bo rushed any too fast to suit tho people. It, is a public necessity, A Poet's Pen. Oliver Wendell Holmes has a gold pen which has been his constant companion for twenty-fiv- e yeHrs. Though he has written with it during all that long period, it is as good today as if it had only issued a week ago from the manu-factory. The poet can not write with any other pen, and cherishes his old servant with the greatest care and affec-tion. He has a note book almost as old a tattered, torn and limp note book which has been the depository of his thoughts and confidences for many years. Exchange. Bookcases Should lie Plain. It has been a fashion to make bookcases highly ornamental. Now books want for and in themselves no ornament at all. They are themselves the ornament. Just as shops need no ornament, and no one will think of or care for any structural ornament if the goods are tastefully dis-posed in the shop window. The man who looks for society in his books will readily perceive that, in proportion as the face of his bookcase is occupied by ornament, be loses that society; and, conversely, the more that face approximates to n sheet of book backs, the more of ihat society he will enjoy. And so it is that threo great advantages come hand in hand, aud, as will be seen, reach their maximum together; the sociability of books, mini-mum of cost in providing for them, and ease of access to them, Ninateenth Cen- - Tim Kansas City Star in discussing tho silver question hits the nail squarely on the head in the following sentence: "The complete restoration of tho silver dollar to the American monetary sys-tem is only second in urgency to the relief of the American fanners and con-sumers from the unjust burdens of spe-cial taxes and bounties for tho benefit of special classes." A CiKEAT UIKCOVKKV. Stanley in his recent African explora-tions discovered immense forests of indlti rubber or caoutchouc trees in the upper Congo valley. This is indeed an important discovery. The uses ,to which iudiu rubber is put are almost without number. It is used in clothing, in footwear,- - for railway carsprings, for hose, and so on; and vulcanized rubber, which is a union of caoutchouc and sulphur, Isiadapled to a greater number of purposes than any material ever em-ployed in construction. , Go into a rub-ber store and see tho hundreds of ar-ticles there displayed and you will be convinced that India rubber is an im-portant factor in manufactures and commerce. Visit it drug store and examine the number of instruments that are made of this material, and you will wonder how the medical fraternity got along before the discovery and ap-plication of iudia rubber. Up to tho present time India rubber lias been comparatively scarce, and if Stanley's discovery is of any groat extent, he cer-tainly has rendered ti great service to tho world, oven if ho had never done auything elso. It will bo more valuable than all tho gold of Africa. This, however, is only ono of many great re-sults that are bound to follow from his explorations in the Dark Continent. The Russian Triucoss HngoiitclielV is delivering essays, in tho shape of lec-tures, in this' country to prove that Russia is advancing towards u more liberal policy in regard to its subjects, und that the government is not so bad as lias been represented.
