' j der that, with the dyspepsia fiend as his right hand supporter at tho editorial 'desk, it was a great relief to him to got away from brain work and newspaper reading. During those threo months in contact with nature and witli men lie has learned many things and unlearned some others which unfitted him to dis-tribute healthy editorial food from his dyspeptic labratory. He says: "We are cured of the idea that all men are dishnoest who arc ambitious to figure iu public life." He has "dined and wined" with very mauy oflieials in the British pos- - sessions and in this country, but it is evident that he is not in love with President Harrison and his cabinet. Of Harrison, ho says: "Our estimate of the president and his cabinet has not rendered us enthusiastic for the or of President Harrison." As between Grovcr Cleve-land and President Harrison, should they bo pitted against each other in tho next presidential campaign, Mr. Pixley thinks Cleveland would win. Possibly tho ailing editor's stomach rather than his sterling brain gives tone and direc-tion to liis conclusions. He favors the plan proposed by Sena-tor Stanford, to issue treasury notes and loan them in reasonable amounts to the farmer and producer. 1I5 thinks real estate "booms" de- - nioi'.ilizinff In he.-irr- . mid luii ki l : that Oregon, as an all round state is the hnl on the Pacific coast, and that the people of the new state of Washington are speculatively crazy, every farmer on the sea coast imagining that his wooded farm is to be tho site of a great city; that the town of Vancouver at tlic terminus of the Canadian rail-way, is destined to be a great city; and that on the whole there is some foundation lor the opinion of every man, woman and child he met that Puget Sound is the great port, of eastern commerce; that through the straits of San Juan del Fuca the ori-ental trade, which has budded the great cities of commercial Europe, will build on its shores at some point a metropo-lis rivaling in wealth and population any in Europe. It seems to us that if the able editor of the Argonaut, in the search for health of body and mind had spent his three months vacation in nature's solitary places, rather than in the busy haunts of men, both himself and his large cir-cle of readers would have been bene-fitted more than at present. To be "wined and diued" by dignitaries and politicians is not the best treatment for a diseased mind and body. A IYK1E1TIC KDITOR. Frank M. Pixley, the able editor- - of the San Francisco Argonaut, dropped his editorial )M!ii some three mouths ago, stopped reading newspapers, and dis-carded the. de il and all his works, so f ar as ''copy" is rouecrhed. No won- - n variety of durable sidewalk pave-ments, Iind give the property owner some chance to choose his own material and to' employ his own contractor? The city ordinance providing for the laying of sidewalks, is said to be framed in accord with a legislative act. It was passed in 1888. We understand that it is construed by the present city council that tho council must describe or de-termine tho material, and that u uni-form material must bo used throughout a district, but that different materials cau be used iu different dis-tricts. The Times nevertheless is of the opinion that the city council can "describe" different materials for use in sidewalk pavements. For instanco, if the council describes a certain kind of natural stone, artificial stone or ce-ment, or asphalt, to be used iu a dis-trict, the property owner to make his choice so that it comes within tho spec-ifications, we believe that this will lie legal. Even if tho properly owner cannot, under the ordinance.employ his own contractor, the choice of material will bo appreciated, and it certainly ought to be given. We hope the coun-cil, before proceeding further, will carefully investigate this question, and if possible, adopt tho suggestions of THE Timbs, which is speaking in behalf of a larire number of properly owners. ti The Times' position on the sidewalk r question is generally approved by the j ' property owners, who think they ought to be permitted to choose theirown ma-il terial and contractor. Suppose u mau i.;: wants to lay an ornamental walk say i of diagonal blocks of black iind white natural or artilicial stone in front of his !.' place or residence. Under the present method of procedure he cannot do it, but must take just what the cily coun-i.- '. cil prescribes, and the work must be r, done by the city contractor. Before any K, contracts, are awarded, would it I not be well for the cily council to revise its way of doing this business? i Why not have spccilicalions covering ' ' SALT-LAK- EVENING TIMES.

Idaho is on the road to becom-ing one of the sisters. She doesn't mean to come into the fam-ily of states tainted or under suspicion, aiid so declares in her organic law against tho Mormon bigamist and MR, COl'K'N BlX'CESNOn. The Herald of Sunday niorniuif con- - tallied a long, editorial suggesting, in a somewhat dictatorial manner, that the Union I'aeilie ought to appoint Mr. Ruinel to the position of general freight and passenger agent of the mountain division of that road. The Tribune, of Monday morning came out and opposed the appointment of Mr. Kumel, and nominated Mr. Thomas Mulloy for tho position, at the same time giving the Herald a blow or two on the libs. This, of course, was to lie expected. Mr. Kumel, us wc understand, would represent the Mormon (dement iu the old Utah Central organization. Mr. Mulloy Is a representative Gentile. With the Herald and Tribune it is a case of Mormon vs. Gentile. The Times now steps in and asks what is the matter with Mr. J. V. Par-ker- The answer comes back from the public that he is all right.-- Mr. Parker is the assistant general passenger and freight agent of tho mountain division of the Union Pacific, and since flic death of Mr. Cope he has been performing tho duties of general agent, and that, too, satisfactorily to the Union Pacific management. 1 f any successor is to be appointed to the late Mr. Cope, it will not bo either Mr. Ilumcl or Mr. Mulloy, but Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker is a practical railroad man. He is not a Mormon, not a Gen-tile, not a Jew, but a Uniou Pacilic man first, last and nil the lime, and iu busi-ness matters he treats Jew, Gentile and Mormon alike. Thk Times predicts that Mr. Parker will either be thelatoMr. Cope's suc-cessor, or else the vacancy will never bo filled. In the latter case Mr. Parker, who has been performing tho duties of general passenger and freight agent, will continue as the noting gen-eral agent. Til E Times was tho first to suggest 1he organization of a mining exchange. The other papers very properly followed suit, mid now an exchange is soon to be established. Wo predict that it will prove a success. . The management of The Times pro-poses to publish a clean newspaper a paper which can be read in the. family circle without any fear of causing any one to blush. Such a paper the great majority of the people will appreciate, tmd it is for them that The Times is published. Yen, Who? Hutchinson. Kits., News.

Inoment, think that the house commit-te- o on pensions is carrying tho pension business a little loo far in recommend-ing a pension of $r0 per month to Mrs. ParnAll, mother of Charles Stewart Paruell. Hut sho is as much entitled to a pension as a great many other per-sons who have beeu generously provided for by the government. Mrs. Parncll is tho daughter of Admiral Stewart "Old Ironsides" who commanded the United States frigate Constitution dur-ing the war of 1812. t The Suit I.alie WuU-ri- t orka. Park City Record. It is to be hoped that the municipal government of Salt 'Lake wiil not re-solve to act favorably on the proposi-tion to sell tho city's waterworks sys-tem to a private corporation with the privilege of buying it back at the expir-ation of fifty years. On its face the proposition seems to be fair and ad-vantageous to the city, but on close scrutiny the advantage would be on tho side of the purchasing syndicate and against the people. "Above all things of a public hat lire, the water supply should tye owiied, operated and controlled by tlic cit v. Practically the water in Salt Lake t'ily is held by the city in trust for the people, and many attorneys claim that the proposed sale would he illegal.. '. The water system in the nictropolilan-cit- is as valuable to tho people us it. would bo in the hands of a private company, and it is not likely that the sale of the rights of the people which are held in trust by the city government yvill bo. made for any sum of money.',,,., ... THK HILVKIt (JIKSTIOX. The necessity of immediate action on the silver question is pressing itself upon the attention of congressmen, as it has in advance upon the majority of the intelligent people of this country. A large representation of republican senators met at the, residence of Senator Chandler last Saturday night, to con-sult together over the Windom bill be-fore the house, aud tho Jones' silver bill before the senate. After free discussion of the coniparitivo merits and demur-it-of the two bills, it was the general opin-ion that a combination of" tho good points of each should 1)0 drafted in one bill, and that pressed , to a passage shortly. The quicker the better, gen-tlemen legislators. Jupgk Allkn, of Denver, has decided 1ii the case of Mayor Londoner that the maintenance of his position is a usurpa-tion of authority, and has directed the issuance of a writ of ouster. Mayor Londoner has appealed to the supreme court of tho state. It Is problematical how the issue will terminate, yet by mauy it is thought that Mr. Londoner will finally triumph. Certain it is he has made an exceptionally efficient mayor, and tho better class of Den-ver's citizens would greatly regret his deposition from the mayor-alty. Nevertheless the trial that has just terminated has developed a series of political frauds and moral turpitude iu the conduct of the munici-pal election in Denver that will staud a lasting monument of disgrace to the city, as well as to all (hose who partici-pated in its manipulations. .Il'STICK TO THK NOLUIKK. "Be just before you are generous," is a motto every patriot soldier In the country would impress upon congress. They are not crying for service or de-pendent pensions. If today, without a word about interest on deferred pay-ment of a just debt for a quarter of a century, the government would pay to private and olHcer, wages promised to be paid in gold or its equivalent, but which were of necessity, we admit, paid in depreciated paper, worth 50 cents on the dollar, justice and equity would be done. As an offset to the blatant howls of pot house politicians, the unpaid soldiers who uro working their own passage to open graves, have ouly time to interpose their just and equitable claim and go their way amid tho clamoring of tho coyotes at their heels. Tue completion of tlic Utah Central railroad to Park City is an import nut rveiit, both to that place and Salt Lake, The distance is only about thirty miles by the new route. By the old roundabout way it is over 100 miles. That the- new railroad to Park City will prove quite profitable, thcro is no doubt. Purk j City is one of the greatest mining towns i in the world, ami its trade, which is ! very large, will now all come lo Salt j Lake. Park City in summer is bound to be a great resort for tourists and ex-- ) as it is a' beautiful place, the scenery in its immediate vicinity, as well as along tho now railroad, being of the most romantic and picturesque tmarauter. A visit to the great mines, especially tho Ontario, will well repay I any one, even if there were nothing j else to see. AVe congratulate both Park City and Salt. Lake upon the coniplo- - j tlon of Mr. John W. Young's short ' line railroad. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. ESTATE OF DAVID H.

THE WOULD GOKH HACK OX HIM. "The most uukindest cut of all" is that giveu Reporter Choate by the New-Yor- World. Choate was fined $2.T0 for secreting himself in the jury room at the Flack trial. The World printed a lotided account of his report of the deliberations under the regulation "slug head," ami next day "fired" him. Now that he has been punished tlic editorial gun of the paper is turned loose at him and in an article which asserts that the World does not believe in that kind of journalism, ho is re-ferred to in very uncomplimentary terms. THK VHK ANI A III SIC OK TKI HTM. Ono of the words which of late1 is most often rolled as a sweet or bitter morsel under tho tongues of people and politicians is spelled as "Trusts." It involves more of complication and dis-pute at present than any other word in tho English language. It is used with great effect by hostile partisans. It is applied to every combination of capital and labor which seeks to utili.o the truism that in "union thero is strength." It is the foundation of multiplied, and multiplying bills in congress designed to hedge about, circumvent and punish as misde-meanors all kinds of cooperative unions good, had and indifferent. Ouo of the greatest associations of capital in this country is the Standard oil trust. It has made its managers immensely rich, and iu many respects is open lo attack, yet its result has been to systematise tho business so that tho great body of the people got their illuminating oil at cheaper rates than they otherwiso would or could. It is a realization of the old fable that a combination of slicks iu a fagot is stronger than a sin-gle stick. Its managers, feel secure in their position. In the language of Mr. Rockafellor, its president, "They have no fear that congress will ever be unwise enough to discourage or ob-struct by legislation tho union of capi-tal to prosecute great enterprises." It must bo remembered, however, that while it is harmful to obstruct the legitimate development of capital and of labor in needful union, it is right and proper, and at the prcseul juncture ab-solutely necessary, to control such un-ions and prevent them from control-ling the market, and from interfering with production and taxing the people at pleasure. A healthy competition must not be interfered with by an unscrupu-lous monopoly. The courts have been ap-pealed to in connection with tho sugar trust, ami their decisions, iu the main, have been against the grasping scope of that mo-nopoly. The great railway monopolies or more briefly "trusts," have been made the subject of legislation; whether for better or for worse remains to bo settled. These- powerful trusts, trump-lin- g under foot their uses aud duties as common carriers, use the power granted them by the people to crush out private enterprise and to control and tax the necessaries of life. Take, for instance, the coal supply of this territory. It is controlled by railroad monopolies who laugh to scorn all their obligations as common carriers, ami tax the body of tho people 20 per cent on their coal supplies more than would be charged them wore the railways confined to their proper duties by stringent legis-lation. The Sergeant bill introduced iu our recent Utah legislature, designed to cure this evil was throttled by ways that were dark and tricks that were not in vain. i The Herald, in a somewhat self-- ; laudatory article, remarked tho other day that tho newspapers of Salt Lake ittre live years ahead of the city. Thero never was a truer thing said. Three of the newspapers the Tribune, tho Iler-- j j aid and Tun Timks are equipped with perfecting presses, stereotype appara-i- j tus, and all the appliances of modern metropolitan journals. When it is taken into consideration that there are ;! three papers having perfecting presses in a city of only 50,000 people, ami the !( population divided by a very distinct line, it is something remarkable. Tho ' papers speak for themselves. They are enterprising, newsy and progressive, i, and propose to keep ahead of the city. They are doing nioro than any other i' element to build up Salt Lake, and for that reason they deserve the most liberal support. The appearance and character of our newspapers make a most favorable impression upon visitors and the outside world generally, and go to demonstrate that Salt Lake is a go-- ; ahead city full of western push and U vigor. rKOVO I'H IvlNtiS, The drain east of town, which cost the city $8000, is nearly completed. The asylum pcoolc will commence excavating for their '.'ll0,000 ad-dition. The three story addition to tho Rob-erts House will be completed by the tirst of June. The Dixon Publishing company will come out with a morning dailv four-nan- e paper, on or about the iirsl of May. Their material is all on the way. H. H. Kbert. of Wood River.
