NIGHT SCHOOLS. At the mooting of the board of educa-tion last night a petition of Robert Loomis, asking permission to teach a night school in the Fifteenth ward school house, was referred to the com-mittee on school work. We wish the school board could sue its way clear not only to giant this application but to offer all the schools forwhichademaud of that kind may be made to the public. There are hosts of young men and older men in the city whoso early education has boon neglected and who would cheerfully avail themselves of an oppor-tunity, if it were extended, to repair the loss. They have no time to spare during the day, but in the evening it would prove a profitable occupation and recreation to them. We would ad-vise the board to let it be known that any competent and responsible teacher who presents a petition signed by at least twenty persons desiring to at-tend a night school can hare the nearest school house free. We know of cities where, sustained by favrable public opinion, the board wont beyond its strict legal boundaries to facilitate such work, but in Salt Lake, where the pub-lic school systeip in itself is new, that is probably all we could at present afford to do. Ilowovcr, it would help in the inauguration of a most useful institu-tion. When we say any competent and responsible teacher, wo wish to exclude those who are already engaged in the public schools. The inducement to make a small safary in addition lo their regular pay might prompt some of them lo lake up the other work, since it is in their lino of duty, but although a night school may keep open but one or two hours, we believe tho tax of teaching all day is already so great as to enlist all tho best faculties of the teachers. To strain their faculties to tho utmost would detract from tho eflieiency of the teachers in their reg-ularly appointed work. That should not be encouragod;but the night school should. not be counteil by years. Wc need not go back to such men as Peter Cooper, or to such women as Mrs. Patterson Bonaparte, to cite instances of;romark-abl- o lougivity, for there are many like them in our day. In tho senate of tho United States two members at least, Morrill and Payno, have started upon their ninth decennium, and yet neither shows signs of a collapse. Oliver Wendell Holmes has passed tho eigh-tieth milestone a your ago and his gen-ial eye is as bright and his intellect as clear as ever. Tho readers of Tins Times who perused tho report of the government directors of tho Union Pa-cific railway may be aware that otio of those directors is the General Joseph E.Johnston, who, al-though eighty-thre- e years of age, still runs over the entire system on his an-nual inspection tour. One of the most remarkable families in this respect are tho Fields, one of whom, David Dud-ley, tho renowned jurist, was born iu 1805, and is still active, vigorous and useful. Hamlin is on his ninth decennium of mortal life, but he still disdains the uso of an over-coat and finds delight in driving on a buck board with his farmer friends, smoking the while from a corn cob pipe. George Hancroft.the eminent historian, came into this world with the present centtiry.aud he is therefore ninety years of age. On tho retired list of the army taken from the Register of 1890 we find such juvenile warriors as Brigadier General Ben W. Hrice, Ph. St, G. Cook and Colonel Hannibal Day, who were respectively cadets at West Point as early as 1825, 1823, and JS19. But what is the use of dilating upon a list that anyone can add to from his or her own memory. Whore there is one man of national reputation to attain so remarkable an age thore is. a score of less known or wholly obscure people. Few families but what contain some member of a sere old ago. Utah is full of patriarchs and the pension office still bears on its rolls a small army of pen-sioners of the war of 1812. Negroes and Indians frequently claim to have casos of remarkable longevity among them. But enough has been shown to prove that Americans live no faster than any other race, and if reliablo sta-tistics could be had on the subject we are confident it would appear that the average span of life, due to better liv-ing, better sanitation and higher aver-age intelligence, is also greater in this country than in any other. ;i.t vnoi'Lic. Catch phrases find ready circulation and credence People like to Iterate and reiterate snappy sayings however absurd they may be, until by persistent repetition they pass iuto currency. It is thus that tho assertion that Ameri-cans live fast or that they burn the can-dle of life at both ends, has become a sacred dogma and anyone rash enough to dispute it would bo promptly con-signed to tho fate of a heretic. And yet looking over the field we believe it is true that we in this country not only enjoy life better lint longer thnn the people of tho old world. Of courso an absolute comparison of the United Slates with Europe would bo odious because it would be unfair, since our population is less than one-fift- h thnt of Europe, hut a relative comparison would undoubtedly result in our favor. Tho pathetio letter written by Spinner to a friend recently deploring his sad physical condition and yearning for death to come to his relief reminds Thk Timks of a host of old people all over the hind whose health is vigorous and whose mind is active notwithstanding the allotted three score and ten have long since passed over their venerable heads. In-deed Chas. A. Dana, who is himself no longer a boy, being born in 1819, was right when he said a man's age must I A Sail Case. 5 kf'M.'

As usual Tint Times was the first newspaper to publish President Wood-ruff's manifesto in full. The Times is the paper of today and not of yesterday. A MEETiNo of abolitionists at this late day is rather retrospective than other-wise, but nothing can abolish. the spirit that animated that noble band of pat-riots. TnE Ogden Standard may do for a provincial paper, but wa do not believe it. Says the Standard: Tun Salt Lake Timer is nothing If not venturesome and original. The other day it received a dispatch regarding the loss In Jap-anese waters of a Turkish commander named Osinan, and In a fine flight of fanciful enter-prise It caused the Ottoman to be none other than the gallant soldier who so valiantly and perststently defended Plevna against the Russians a dozen or more years ago. The fact tr.at Osican Pasha Is not a naval commander, aud that r Is still taking his meals with tol-erable regularity, will not dim the crdor of the capltnllan advocate In the slightest. Tho fact that the dispatch announcing the death of Osman distinctly mentioned him as the identical Osman of Plevna fame does not seem to trouble our pro-vincial contemporary; nor yet the further fact that all the prominent papers of the country commented on tho subject precisely as The Times did, until the cable next day rectified its mistake. The Times does not wait for its duo at second hand, but it is truly "nothing If not venturesome and orig-inal." We advise the Standard to keep its eye on The Times, the capitalian advocate. It will improve the provincial spouter. Glury and Promotion. Major We will charge the enemy, cap-tain. I Am doubtful whether I should bead the charge or direct It from the rear.

Stewart to present themselves, but since Bon Butler says thore is some money in it there may be for him. ' PJCNSIONS AND PENSIONS. There appears to bo some misappre-hension in the public mind with regard to the attitude of tho G. A. R. organiza-tion on tho subject of "service pen-sions." Now that tho "dependent pen-sion" bill has become a law anil under its provisions every veteran of tho war of the rebellion who is incapacitated for manual labor from whatever cause is entitled to a pension of from $0 to $12 a month, and all widows of union soldiers are also entitled to a pension, it appears to very many that any agita-tion for additional pension laws should cense. In the recent G. A. R. national encampment held at boston, a division of sentiment on this subject was appar-ent. In the committee on resolutions, representing Jovcry state and territory in whic h the order hud a foothold, the subject was earnestly discussed, result-ing in majority aud minority reports, The majority report opposed a servioe pension law the minority report fav-ored such a law. It is safe to say that, numerically con-sidered, the members of the G. A. li. are about equally divided on the ques-tion of service pension. The more in-fluential members of the order are largely opposed to it. Its advocates base their arguments on what they con-sider the demands of justice rather on mere mercenary considerations, The pay of the soldier, they say truly, was doled out to him In promises on en-graved paper, worth fifty cents on the dollar. This same paper was turned In to the treasury at Its par value by the speculators in payment for United States bonds, now for a long time selling at a premium and on which tens of millions have been paid as interest. It is argued that the men who made it possible for the republic to exist and to meet its shaved paper with interest and in gold to its utter-most farthing, should at least make good to tho soldier his overdue pay, to say nothiug of interest for a quarter of a century. While tho considerate vet-eran does not expect that the govern-ment will ever do this, and will not whine nor sue for a pension so long as he can work with hand or brain for his living, ho has good ground to sot off his absolute right to unpaid wages against the disloyal howls of skulking copperheads aud the hypocritical la-mentations of "bloated bondholders." As ago fastens its grip upon his failing faculties, the increasing satisfaction of knowing that he willingly periled all thnt was personally dear to him in defense of his couutry, outweighs all mercenary consideration. Ho could not coin his honor into paltry gold nor sell his honest patriotic pride and p with kindred spirits for the almighty dollar. The crippled and sitpcramiated soldier has a right to a pension which will protect him against want, and the sneaking straggler has a way of getting one that should damn him to everlasting contempt. Let the crippled aud iiiea.pacltatod,soldier, the widows sud yecng children b kindly cared for; hot put into tho hands of every honest niau a whip, to lash Ihe thieving pons'ior.ers through the world. Bad 'Your eye suggests that radiant stona TUift on your iluger glistens," Ho whispered in a tender tono, While she In wondor listens. And in her face a strauge surprise, A sadness, seems to linger. "Then you must tbiuli I huve cat's-eye- For that's one on my Singer." --New I'ork Herald. It is feared the strike of the Union Pacific switchmen in Denver will in-volve the whole road. The whole road was involved in a strike several years ago, but it lasted only eight hours when the company gave in. At that time, however, S. H. H. Clarke was tho con-trolling power of the road. The upward tendency of our real es-tate transfers is as gratifying its it is marked. The census of Los Angeles, Cal., giv-ing that city a population of 60,604, an increase of !i9,211 in ten years, is not complete. It fails to show tho decrease in the last live years. Before tho German elections Em-peror William evinced a cortain degree of sympathy for the socialists; yester-day an unfortunate wight was jailed for three months for saying so. Well may Sardon flcny having spok-en of Shakespeare as a man of no tal-ent. A German author once tried it and ho was damned ever after. Shake-Bpeare- 's fume is above harping critics.

There is nothiug more refreshing than to meet with a theatrical business repre-sentative in whose composition the admira-ble quality of frankness Is to be found. But here is one. Said ho: "Now, I'll tell you frankly that the tre-mendous salaries that these men are ad-vertised as getting are to some extent fic-titious. That's on the inside, of course. Take Jones, the heavy man. It is an-nounced that he receives 1700 a night. He only gets six hundred, and it's the same wny with Browu and Itobinson. They are billed as getting fciOO a performance, but just between you und me they only jjet four hundred and ninety." Washington Post. American genius is prolific. The annual report of the patent oflice shows the tot l number of applications received during the fiscal year was fotty-si- t thousand one hundred and forty, an inereas of four thousand over the previous year. Tho ortiee is more than the receipts leaving a surplus of two hundred and . fifty thousand dollars over expenses. . . Caught.

FiiOM an interview with Lieutenant Fremont wo judge that the assets of the widow of the "Pathfinder" consist mostly in expectations. Says the young officer, her son: "Mrs. Fremont looks for the restoration of seven acres of land in San Francisco, formerly owned by her husband, and which the govern-ment seized and used for a military reservation. She is also hoping that the $2000 pension bill for her relief will be passed at an early date." We hope o, too. Tho Wrong Man Found.

On the face of it tho request made of tho board of education by a number of citizens of North Salt Lake to use the chool building for religious services on Sundays is a fair one, but the precedent is bad and should not be set. The chools are public property and it might cause dissatisfaction if one de-nomination should have a privileg3 that the others cannot get.
