Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES, TUESDAY. FEBUUAliY 24. 183L 4 Fort block propositiou. V'e might have filled the entire twelve pages of the paper with interviews with bank-ers, property holders and business inm friendly to the proposition and then not exhausted the- number. The Her-ul-couldn't secure a dozen opinions on the oilier side if it scoured the city. AI.AS1 Till'. J'OOK. We do not approve of the action of the board of education last evening with regard to certain school srpplies, and we do not believe auy fair minded, humane citizen or parent will. The board de-cided to buy pencils and drawing books at wholesale and furnish them to pupils at the samo rates. Those whose parents are iu indigent circum-stances will receive them free. Now, piny, what child likes to confess itself a pauper, begging for charity? The public school system of America is tho grandest institution on earth for the reason that it distributes its benefits to everybody, rich aud poor, alike. That is to everybody except, since, lust night, to the pupils in Salt Lake. Here a scholar must plead poverty or opulence toobtain certain privileges. Is that calcu-lated to infuse honest pride or the prin-ciple of equality in our youth? It would have been much more com-mendable in the board to furnish pen-cils and other necessary articles free to nil the children alike. Indeed, if the money were available, we would favor free text books and everything else free that is conducive to the improvement of our little ones. This discrimination is painful to a sensitive nature, if not to the Salt Lake board of education. It is said that the cost of these arti-cles will be about $325 for the entire school year. The school board seems to have thousands for e pro-fessors, but not a cent for supplies, ex-cept as a matter of charily. What say you poor, hardworking parents to that? Tn e lesser liberal ori.'an, whose interest in S:ilt Lake Is tiniply that of the temporary b. miner, says: "The teaor of the Interviews in Saturday's TiMtsonthe Deep Creek rail-road and Fort block projects cannot well be misunderstood. And It Is needles to say that the number might have teen Indefinitely "d. Salt Lake Is enthusiastically in favor of Mr. Bacon's proposition." The eilit .r fails to explain, however, why it was the "Inter-views" with the banks f, property owners and business men who were honestly and earnestly opposed to the telllii(r or (riving away the ground were studiously omitted, nor does he say why the views of some of the gentlemen quoted were Herald. In all courtesy to the Herald we ask It to name one stockholder of The Times "whose interest in Salt Lake is simply that of the temporary boomer." Nay, more; we ask the Herald to name one whose interest is not intimately bound up with that of Salt Lake; and we might carry the challenge still fur-ther and institute a comparison between the owners of tho Herald and The Times. Words are cheap and insinua-tions vulgar, but neither carries con-viction with it. What we want is proof. hai that is a rare commodity in the Herald offico and we do not expect to elicit it. It is tho samo with the other insinuation that The Timks ouiitted or misstated any of the interviews its re-porters bad with persons adverse to the up against a hord of contractors when public improvements come to be roadu in earnest " We know of a contractor who wanted to bid in accordance with the advertisement of the 12th instant. Ho went around to ask for the specifica-tions but could not ?ot thorn. Hewiis told they were in the printers' hands and wouldn't be out for about ten days. It was the Maine with the prolilo which up to this writing is not on tile yet. Of eouie he thought it was strange that the city should invito bids on cer-tain work before it could show what tho work really was to be. And that is all Tiik Timks ct said. It is strange, pafsinly strange!, isn't it? STRANGE, ISN'T IT? Chairman Haines of the board of pub-lic works, in a lit of anger which ill be-comes a public dignitary, unbosomed himself to the Tribuue about TheTiuk as follows, to wit: "The first paragraph of the article I do not rare a cetit aliout. The paper has aright to criticise the acts of the lioard In regard to Its distribution of ndvertisiut,'- Hut the second I do object to. because It Is a He on the face of it. Kltlierthe wrller of the article wilfully mis repres uited matt 'rs or Is seriously mistaken I would much prefer to believe the latter tho . - fA'A'ruu'i'.j! j'rl decided to advertise In the r' tractors' Journal. It has done so. If the evonlua; paper w ants to criticise the board, all right, but I for one do not pro oee to be ac-cused of tiny Jobbery. , K curdinir the bids mentioned, the board of ptibiii: works never has advi rtlsid for bins of that kind. The only w ork we have di.no Ik the Commercial stn et matter, an ittedui t unit 1 u hrlcKcs. Tho writer of the lir.lcie should ccnflue his attentions to the body that did the Wi rk. tint the board of pub)!.' works." Mr. 1'A'nks r .tiled at the office of the assull ItiK sin et last nlht, but "the editor was not In." Mr. Davis, the preslih ntofthec .mpany. bnnover, said that the article was wront?. and that he did not know it us published until he saw it. As a matter of fiict, the bids reremd to were considered and an Omaha nrmwasthn lowest and would doubtless have been awarded ti.e contract but for tho fact that at the last moment the city council chsniedlts mttd renariliuu the work to he done. A brick a liieiluct was called for under the old specttl-ca- t tuns and tho bids were t ast d upon brick work. Later It was determined t3 aliollsh the brick conduit and subst.tuto pipe, which ac-counts for the n a Ivcrtlslne;. The paper iu iiucstlcin will doubtless correct itself Unlay. The board of public works had nothliiK to do with the former bids, which were nut "ta-bled'' as stated, and all the contractors had "official notice" as each Hnd every certitled check was returned to them by order. At tho time "the editor was not In," lie was very much in receiving confir-mation of the facts The Times had stated. There are certain discrepancies in the above interview which we ascribe to tho temperature of the irate chair-man and do not therefore care to an-alyze too closely, as when he says the board "never advertised for bids of that kind," and later on "as a matter of fact tiie bids were considered," etc. Wo rio not wish to do a wilful in-justice to the board of public works, much less to any individual member thereof, nnd for that reason we defer our answer to Mr. JlAixts' statement that the second bids were necessary by the change iu the work: "A brick aque-duct was culled for under tho old speci-fications aud the bids were based upon ljrick work. Later it was deter-mined to abolish tho brick con-duit and substitute pipe." Our impression U, but wo desire to substan-tiate it first, that the bids were put iu for both brick and pipe, so that the city had the choice of either and it required 110 to get the other. Now. Mr. Chairman, is it true that immediately after tabling the bids pre-sented to the board, a contract was made, outside of all competition, with a large eastern irou factory for tiie iron pipe under the pretense that the con-tractors could not get the material while the city could? It is true the Commercial street work is all the board has done so far, but let us stick to the subject in hand it Is not the only one advertised for. The Parley aud Emigration creek work was at firsl advertised tcfsther. LegiJ difficulties arose about tho water supply iu the former, and then the ad-vertisement was withdrawn. Did tho board not know in the lirst place that legal objections to Parley creok existed, and still exist today? And then the city weut ahead and did part of the work in Emigration canyon itself. Now, why should the board advertise for bids when it docs not want to let the job? Mr. Hainks essays to shoulder part of the responsibility on the council. He pleads the baby act. If tho board has not stillness enough in its spinal column to stand up for its rights against the council, how does it expect to stand THE SALT LAKE TIMES. " Br THETIME3 PGB113HIB3 COMPAST.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25th, Thalia Drilc CI, Under the direction of tlie great Swedish , Actor. AlfredNilsson, Will appear In the always popular Swedish raina. Those who bars seen this drama before are sure to want to aee It again, and those who have not seen it ought nut to rnias the treat till time. Mr. Nllsnon takes three parts in this play, all of which are strong contrast to each other. The tlrst is ' The Happy Per;" the second is "The Nnblt) Anders.'' and the third is the ex-tremely eomlral "Lo iiarenlsse," irlvlnff the broad talent of the celebrated artist ample scope.

If the park Is needed right where it is, how comes it that it has never been used for that purpose before! It re-mained for the Herald to argue that a smoky atmosphere is the most benefi-cial and agreeable for Buffering people. The next thing we know that paper will urge in behalf of the "suffering peo-ple'' that smutches be built in Liberty park. As for the use of tho money to be derived from the salo of the old Fort block, life is too short to discuss hypo-thetical cases. CAN Tllfc COUNCIL, HKftlTATK? For the second time, touiRlit, tho city council is confronted with the question, which it must tleeido, whether it should do, or leave undone, its part toward securing a Salt Lake railroad to Salt Luke City; whether it should encourage or discourago the lino to Deep creek, which by general consent is conceded to be the most important enterprise for the upbuilding of the city proposed in many years. The members of the city council are all property holders ami taxpayers. We do not expect, and would not want them lo bn swayed in their action by Bullish motives, although in this case their interest is coincident with the in-terest of every citizen of Salt Luke. That interest affects tho workmen for whom a long season of work is to be provided; it affects tho merchants who furnish the supplies for outfitting par-ties; it affects the bankers who handle the new inflow of cash; it affects the miners, the hotels, tho railroads, in fact, everybody aud everything, from the start and more still at the iinlsh of the enterprise. On the oilier hand, what does it in-volve? The sale of a block for $150,-00- which is all it is worth at this time and will be worth for some time to come unless some such stimulus as the building of tho proposed line enhances its value. That is all there is to the matter. No valid objection to the proposition have been raised. Not enough in its favor can be suid. Can the council hesitate? Im and out of season Tim Times has advocated the establishment of a public library in this city, as a moral no less than an intellectual agoucy. We are therefore more than pleased at the generous action of the masonic grand lodgo which transferred several thousand volumes to the public library association aud at the public spirited action of a uumbcr of gentlemen who started the latter. With good manage-ment it should rapidly grow in size and usefulness. AEErVALS ASP CLOSE OF MAILS. BchKlul "f and closing of malls at P.lt Lskn CltV Postoffiae, Nov. 17, UMH T1A1I.3.

It is doing nn. to to bury doad Issues In Utah th;ui all ttia nthir itentllo papers eomblued, an i so fur as this part of its territory Is con-cerned is meotln with ton popular approval it deserves. Provo Dispatch. Which only shows that a paper can be partisan and yet fair, aggressive and yet decent. Any ally in the booming of our mines is welcome to The Times, and when the Tribuue turns from the bloody war that is not raging in Utah, outside of its columns at home and in the Illus-trated American, and from the May-pol- o and daisy articles, to advertise our chief industry, much will be forgiven it. If the city couucil should reject the proposition of Mr. Bacon it would be a sore disappointment to the thousands of people who believe that the welfare of Salt Lake depends upon just such enterprises as the Deep Creek railroad, and that it is the duty of the council to promote such welfare. I.OHI LOKNE'S LKillT, The pctitlcman whose chief distinc-tion in this world consists in his being the of Queen Victoria, and who on that account tilled at one time the synecure position of governor-genera- l of Canada, Unbosoms himself in a long epistle to her majesty's subjects in the dominion on the question of reci-procity. Of course he does not ap-prove of it, and we do not blame him. What, however, does the uobla mar-quis mean by saying, "If the United States want more they aijd Cauada must be content to wait until the en-gulfing policy of Mr. Blaine has run its course like other" delusions?" Mr. Blaine does not advocate reciprocity with Canada and the overtures for such a policy come from the other side. The United States have little while Canada has everything to gain by it and tho present agitation Is almost wholly confined to our neigh-bor. What interest the people of this wumljr lane in iuw IjurtSlllUl I11CU IS to be decided in the election next month, grows out of the fact that be-hind the Canadian demand for recipro-city lurks the sentiment for annexation which is the only legitimate and logical outcome of a struggle of which the pending campaign is only the begin-ning. When the end comes the Marquis of Lohnk will see the delusion in a different light. We bolieve Judge James H. Beatty will return to Idaho minus his commis-sion. The delegation in congress from his state is appealing to senatorial courtesy to maintain the senatorial pre-rogative, and that is a tender spot to touch the average senator in. ""Congressman Wvke of Illinois at-tacked Speaker Reed in a lengthy reso-lution. Congressman Wvke is not the only member who courts notoriety in that way. He could never get it in any other. "OitlUiK is rapidly being developed out of chaos in World's fair matters," announces a telegram from Chicago. Order may possibly develop out of chaos iu the end, but as for rapidity, the less said about it the better. The Standard Oil company pursues the samo policy as the Western Union Telegraph company. The moment a rival becomes formidable the Standard buys it out. It is bound to have a mo-nopoly on oil. Wiikn the board" of public works wants to invest $2110,000 of the people's money the people have a right to ex-pect the greatest possible publicity of it. What is the reason the board shirks publicity? Memorial services in honor of Gen-eral Sherman were held in I5oi.se City ; everywhere, in fact, except iu Salt Lake, it is, however, not loo late yet. The board of public works conducts business as if it had been created for the special purpose of rewarding its pets. Now, has it? Should Girls Propone? lielva A. Loi kwood in New York Journal. Why sjiould girls be denied the sume privilege as the men tho right to pro-pose? Often a girl will like a man, and perhaps knows he cares for her, yet shyness on his part will keep them asunder. Only fancy the amount of misery whicli might be prevented, the happiness that might be had, if this atrocious social custom were done away with. If there are fewer marriages now than in the past the fault lies with the men. A remarkable change has taken place in the character of woman, even within the past decade. She has learned to acquire; an independence of spirit, a as it were, not only startling to the male mind, but in many instances overawing. In no other country ii the world is this spirit so manifest as in America. From her cradle tho American girl is taught to appreciate her worth, and being thus early trained, the feel-ing of independence grows and strengthens 'with her years. Tnder such circumstances is it surprising that ihe girl grown to womanhood in such an atmosphere looks with contempt ou men who are often her inferiors in intellect? There is another phase of this inter-esting question. A girl of a marriage-able age, who perhaps is on the point of embracing matrimony, looks about her for illustrations of marital felicity, .she does not Jind them. The B.'g fight like eats and dogs, while Mr. C, it is said, beats Mrs. C, and in other ways maltreats her. Is there any wonder that the candidate for matrimony has a revulsion of feeling? "Such." the says, "may be fate. Oh, no; I'll remain single and independent." |
