The wonderful growth of Tub Salt Laks Tjmus is an example of how completely a newspaper may occupy ft Journalistic field when It find one open fur it. TUB Timbh Is much less than a year old, but is today not d by any evening newspaper In the west In tho amount of news which it publishes. In the ability with which it is edited or in the pat-ronage which is crowding upon it. Denver New, May 3. Tho above compliment from ouo of the leading newspapers of tho couu-tr- y is appreciated not only by Tub Times, but bv the hosts of friends which this paper has made during the past eight weeks. It is a compliment.not alone to The Tisie but to the intelli-gent people of Salt Lake, who appre-ciate our efforts to give them a clean, entertaining and enterprising news-paper. Tho Improved Times Is ouly two months old, yet it already oc-cupies a prominent position in the ranks of tho leading dailies of the country. That it is attracting consid-erable attention outside of Salt Lake is a well-know- u fact. Its success has been pronounced phenomenal, yet we insist that it is not phenomenal because the field was opeu for such a paper as The Times, and we have simply taken pos-session of that field ,and supplied "a loug felt want." We propose to keep on improving Thk Times in every department, and shaft strivo to publish a better paper with each succeeding day. Kxpeoant Europe. Pittsburg Dispatch. .

How They Could Tell. "I can always tell when my husband has been drinking," said a young wife. "Yes?" said another young wife. "Yes, I know it the moment ho kisses me." "1 cau also tell when my husband has been drinking," said the other. "Yes?" "Yes. When ho doesn't kiss me." "THE WRITTEN FOH THE TIMES.

"Ihavohere, sir," began the long-haired individual who always invudes newspaper sanctums at this glorious seasou of the year, "a little poem which I should like to read to you. It begins thus: It is spring ' " "It is sprung!" remarked the editor, as he wiped the perspiration from his brow, after releasing tho infant cata-pult which sent the long-haire- d poet luto the collar. BETTER TELEGRAPH FACILITIES WANTED. The Postal Telegraph company will have a line into Denver from Kansas City within tho next two months, and in all probability the extension will then bo pushed to Salt Lake city, and eventually to the Pacillo coast. The new line will be wclcomo iu this city, where better telegraph facilities are needed. Competition is what we want, as monopoly is entirely too indepen-dent and insolent. The new company will work revolution, uot ouly iu Deuvor, but iu Salt Lake, and at all other points where it comes in opposi-tion to the Western Union. We hope the day is not far distant whon the govern-ment will have a telegraph system of ifs own for the use of tho public. Such is the plan proposed by Postmaster-Genera- l Wanamakcr, and nearly every business man iu this country hopes that congress will at this session establish a postal telegraph system. It will cheapen the rates, facilitate, business, and in niauy ways prove a great bene-fit to the public; The employes of the government systom would no doubt consider themselves the servants of the public, and not masters. In this respect they would be tho opposite of many of the monopolistic employes, who, like their employers, regard themselves as the masters of the public uud own-ers of the earth, and, in tho language of the late lamented Vandorbilt, say "the public be dd." He Meant Well. Terra Haute Express. When a man means well much may be forgiven him. For instance, one of our new converts lately tackled a hymn which was new to him, if not to auy ouo else. He began: "Shall I be carried to the skies, On flowery bods of ease ." And there ho stuck. But ouly for a moment. With a genius born of uow found fervor lie finished "While others let their prayers arise, Till corns grow on their knees." He had the sentiment all right, though he didn't stick exactly to tho text.

A Letter from the Unbalanced Statesman from Florida. To the Editor of the N. Y.Sun. Sir: I shall continue to write and speak until the last word of my story of wrong and injustice is told. I am today and have been for years . penniless, homeless, friendless, living pu husks iu the lan-guage of a journal hero, with but ouo suit of. clothes, my feet on the ground, In this tho boasted Christian indeed, the greatest C'atholie city of the West. This is my apparent, but not my real condition. But this is tho condition to which the comspirators against my life, my happinoss, and prosperity intended to reduce me when they brought me here. That I am uot iu tho stato they intended to place me is no fault of theirs, and iu tho law and morals they are just as guilty for what they have done and the sufferings they havo put upon mo as if the conspirey Tiad been a success. This they shall learn from a man who is still true to his profession and knows something of the law. Every agency that was calculated to deceive my hon-est, confiding heart was employed by the villains in tho execution of the plot. Political, social, race, and, worse than all, religious associations and Influences were employod here to ruin me and my dear children and for what? To pre-vent my marriage to Miss Palms and keep Jones out of the affairs of the great estate. Tho poor fools little imagined the kind of woman or the kind of man they where dealing with. The oue was a heroine of tho Roman stamp, tho other a Colt of the light hair, which, as Judge Daly can tell you, is the true mark of tho unadulterated Hibernian, who was never known to desert a just cause, betray a friend, or do an injust-ice to au enemy. Whon 1 can sufllci-cntl- y impress the Christian ministry of this city of all sects with the truth and justice of my cause, and satisfy the high society here that Miss Palms is my wife, and is not in Nice attending to the nine months' baby, the outcome of tho fraudulent divorce suit instituted to ruin hor character, I mean to call a great meeting of Christian people and expose tho most gigantic piece of vil-lainy of modern times. Then I hope The Sun will send on a trusted reporter to report me, for Jones can still speak. Chas. W. Jones, April 10, 1890. SATURDAY SMILES. An artist ought to have a model wife. Toledo Blade.

Thero are numerous things to be thought of in selecting a place for a homo. Of course the economical part of tho cjucstion applies only to those Who have their wealth to accumulate; the wealthy can make a home any-where, from the banks of MtKenzie's river iu British America to Pretoria in tho Trans-Vaal- . It is to those starting out in life with all tho world before them, therefore, that The Times ad-dresses this article. As a place in which to make a home Salt Lake possesses advantages not to be found elsewhere. The Pacltio slope of the Roeky mountains is noted tho world over for its healthful climate. The summers are delightfully tempered by cool mountain breezes, so that ex-cessive heat is never experienced. Tho air is dry and bracing, and of just suf-ficient woight to render breathiug easy. The winters are short and extreme cold is seldom observed. So much for cli-mate. Land in tho vicinity of tho city is comparatively cheap. A lot on which to build, with sufiicient room for gar-den purposes, and within convenient distance of the city, can bo had on a first cash payment of less than $200, ami tho balance in easy installments; or a cash payment in full of $500 will suiticc. Building a house cau bo ac-complished with tho aid of a building association after tho lot is paid for, aud tho payments will be found cheaper than rent. Living iu Salt Lake is cheap us com-pared with eastern elcs. All tho neces-saries of life and many of tho luxuries can be had for very little money, and clothing is as cheap as it is iu New York or Chicago. Rents alouo arc high, too high in fact; and tho man who first real.zcs this and spends a few thousands in the erectiou of wholo blocks of cottages to rent at a reasonable percentago on the investmont will everla-stingl- make mouoy, bosides earuing tho gratitude of numerous follow citizens. Salt Lake is a lovely city and most beautifully situated. The valley of tho Great Salt Lake is unsurpassed iu all the world in the boauty of its scenery the richness of its agricultural resources and the value of its miueral deposits. The vast expanse of its great Inland sea is within eighteen miles of the city, aud mountain chains surround it on all sides. Salt Lake has excellent school facili-ties, both publio and private; and the numerous edifices erected for public worship attest tho religions character of her poople. Public morality is no-where more closely watched over, and nowhere is vice moro rigidly puuished. Labor iu Salt Lake commands fair wages and is uot ground into inferiority by thoso who employ it. Tho western country is too big for any such nonsense; and peoplo live longer west of the mountains than they do iu tho pent-u- p civilization of the east. Come to Salt Lake and try it as a place for a home, aud ten to oue you will stay here, live here, dio here, and bo buried under tho shadows of the peaks of the Wasatch. The city council is very properly making a thorough investigation of all --protests against new sidewalks. This investigation has already resulted in showing that some of the proteslants have no interest whatever in the pro-perty along which they don't want any walksr 'They have simply signed peti-tions to accommodate some of their moss-bac- k friends. Hereafter, the signers of such petitions will be obliged to designate how mauy feet of tho abut tiug property they own. It socius that there arc some peoplo iu this city who prefer to continue on in the ancient way and stick to theiv cow paths. You can always spot these people on sight. Their backs aro all covered with a heavy growth of moss. A l'hllospliloal Truth. "Pis not the whyness of the which Nor the whlchneRs of the be.

The Herald takes a somewhat con-servative but ia some respects a sensible icw of the paving question. It does not believe in tho paving of tho entire city at once, but advocates the paving of tho business center. So far so good. Let the business center bo paved this season. It can bo douo if tho proper spirit and energy are manifested. Whon onco the business center is paved and kept neat and clean, opposition to ex-tending tho work gradually upon tho main residence strcela will vanish. Among the $iidonec streets that will bo paved afrwlhe work is completed in the business center, will be Brigham, First and Second South from Main street to the cast bench, and Main and We&t Temple streets southward.

Four J3abie at a Birth. A SeoUdale, Pa., dispatch of April 20 to the Philadelphia Times says: Tho quartette of girl babies born to the wife of Michael Newton, of this place, Feb. ruary 12, were buptized today at St. Johu's Roman Catholic Church. Only a few persons were present, mostly friends of the Newton family. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Lambing, pastor of the church. The little ones were christened Agnes, Aloysla, Ada and Agatha. The child-ren uro all healthy looking, and it is with difficulty one can bu distinguished from the other. Tho parents are natives of Ireland and are in poor circumstances, Newton working at mining and getting only four days' work each week. The pic- tures of the babies have been taken and one sent to Queen Victoria, also one to President Harrison. Thev have been copyrighted, and will he put on sale for t he benefit of the family. Mr. Newton a few davs ago received the deeds of six town lots from a laud company in Colorado, who have named the streets of their town after the child- ren and parents. The Newton domicile is besieged daily by people auxious to see the infants. Mary Knew, Chicago Herald. Mary hud a little lamb, Its tioeco w as white as snow ; It strayed away oue summer day Where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her quickly down, And tears streamed froiu her eyes;' She never found the lamb because She did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, Who kept a village store; He sat down aud smoked bis pipe And wntcbed the open door. And as the people passed along Aud did not stop to buy, John still sat down and smoked his pipe And blinked his sleepy eye. Aud so the sheriff closed him out, But stlU he lingered near. And Mary ceme to drop with him A sympathetic tear. "How is tt, sister, ran you tell Why the other merchants here Sell all their goods so readily And thrive from year to year?" Remembering her own bad luck. The little maid replies: "These other fellows get there. John, Because they advertise.". The carpenters strike in this city has virtually bocu won by the men. They demanded that the contractors employ none but union labor. Nearly all tho contractors have acceded to this de-mand and there are not over thirty union carpenters now on strike. So that it will be seen that building opera-tions will not be delayed to any serious extent. The fact is the carpenters' strike, as the president of tho union himself says, has been greatly exagger-ated. As to forcing contractors to em-ploy incompetents, there is no such in-tention on tho part of the- union. As we understand it the union guarantees competent workmen, and if any mem-ber of the union is found to lie an in-competent maa and not able to earn the regular wages, the contractor is not bound under any of the union rules to employ him-- . Edward Ilcllamr, Boston Globe. Our eccentric Boston contemporary, Liberty, hears at third hand that Ed-ward Bellamy wrote "Looking Back-ward" as a satire on socialism, and was the most astonished man iu tho coun-try when thousands of peoplo took it seriously and set him up on a pedestal as the prophet of a new era. The story will mako the nationalists hop-ping mad. Joshua Tear of Moscow, Idaho, aged 50, shot and seriously wounded his w ife aged o0, and killed himself yesterday because she asked him to go to work. |
