'Here's your Sunday morning Herald five cents a. copy all about the latest scandal," and so on 1 Tlio Sunday newspaper is a profanation of the Lord's day, and we move that it lc suspended. If the publication of the Sunday Herald is not "a secularization of the' Sabbath," wo do not know what seeularinatiou moaus. . But perhaps the Herald will say that its Sunday edition is a religious paper, and that it does not make money. It should take an injection of honesty and consistency. That would proba-bly make it feel a litllo belter. It needs something of that kind. This Herald is very much exercised over the Sunday concert ordinance. It thinks the council has made a mistake. The sentiment of the community, it says, is against any muuoy-makin- busi-ness on Sunday. "It is possible." says the truly good Herald, "that the con-certs to be givc,n will be conducted properly, but the offense in tho midst of the people will bo the same, it con-sisting in a secularization c-- the Sab-bath." Now, if the Herald is really sincere in its opposition to Sunday con-certs and to Sunday business, would it not be consistent for it to stop tho pub-- ; lication of its Sunday edition, which is sold at live cents a copy! Isn't that a Sunday money-makin- g business!

If the majority of the peo-ple want the waterworks sold, they will vote that way. and that will decide it. If the council should take upon itself the responsibility of disposing of the waterworks without first ascertain-ing by a vote the wishes of the people, it will make a great mistake, and will overwhelm itself with au avalanche of indignation. It may be possible that the people of Salt Lake will vote to sell the water-works, provided they can be convinced that they will get value received and that it will be an advantage to have the water supply conducted by a private corporation. It is claimed that a pri-vate corporation, having the capital, can more satisfactorily supply the wa-ter than Hie city; ami that the city can-not get the money necessary for the proper enlargement and improvement of the water works. Should the water works be sold, fie sale should be made to tin) highest bidder, and in all prob-ability there would be several bids. Furthermore, in the event of a sale, the city council should carefully protect the rights of the water consumer. At the, next mass meeting of citizens, to be held two weeks from last Monday evening, we hope this question will be brought up for discussion. The senti-ment of the people, can to a large ex-tent, be ascertained in this informal manner. In all probabilities the senti-ment of that meeting will be in favor of having the question settled by a vote of the people at a special election. At any rate a fair and open discussion of the subject cannot result otherwise than for the general "good of the city. Already good results haw been pro-duced by the free-fur-a- assembly of last Monday evening, and every enter-prising citizen is in favor of more of such meeting at frequent intervals. THK WATKItflOKKS Ql KSTtOX. The Utah Waterworks company is the name of a new corporation that has been organized by well-know- capital-ists of Salt Lake City. They propose, if possible, to purchase or otherwise get control of the city waterworks, and if they are successful in this scheme they intend to put in a new and independent waterworks plant to cost, at the outset. $l,:.,,"i0,0()0. It is their intention to leave Ihc present city waterworks intact, and as an inducement to part with the con-trol of the works, they propose lo give to the city the right to use all the water it reipiires for Hushing sewers, sprink-ling streets, and for irrigating purposes. That these men are abundantly able to carry out their plans, if they get the privilege from tho city, there is no question. Thk Timks, however, believes that the city ought to retain control of the water supply. While the new scheme, as outlined iu our loenl news columns, is certainly an inviting one, yet we be-lieve that the projectors will' find that the peoplo will be opposed to the sale of the ciiy waterworks. The proper way to settle that question, and very likely the oaly correct ami legal way, j THK HILVKK ritOBI.KM. Nothing will solve the silver ques-tion so quickly as the free coinage of the metal by the United States. Coin every ounce of our silver into dollars, and England, the greatest consumer in the world, would cease to bo the ap-praiser of the metal. Kngland must have silver for her 240,000,01)0 of Indian subjects, with whom rupees are the only recognized currency; and with the slop-pag- e of the export of this product of our mines, Kngland would be forced to lake our dollars at par. The United Slates produce silver in almost unlim-ited quantities, while, outside of Russia, Ihero is not a silver producing nation in Kurope. The tomfoolery of this coun-try's alliance with the European gold-hug- s should bu put au end to without delay; and the value of the metal would then be. determined in Washington, not in Loudon. JUSTPBAISE TOR SALT LAKE. From its magnificent .and eligible location, the fertility of the valley of which it is the distributing point, and its al-most midway position between the two oceans, there is no question in my mind but that Salt Lake City is bound to thrive and become a very im-portant center. Utah in the course of a few years will be admitted into the union. She already claims, by reason of her growth, the attention of congress with that end in view. .The Union Pacific Railway company will derive incalcu-lable benefit from the growth of this new state, and the con-struction of branches, which will penetrate her rich valleys and give access to her rich mines, will doubtless become an imperative necessity in the near future.

The building contractors of this city complain that there is great lack of building material on hand, and that this will cause some delay in improve-ments. This state of affairs is due to the poor facilities of getting out the material. This is especially true in re-gard lo stone. Jt is a well-know- fact that Utah has as line building stone as any statu in this country. Among the best, quarries in the immediate vicinity of Salt Lake may be men-tioned the Diamond, tho Kyune, the Castle Gate rock, the Thistle rock, the Wind Hill sandstone. One great drawback to the stone sup-ply is the course pursued by the rail-roads. They do not furnish cars enough to supply the demaud, and their rales aro altogether too high, For instance, tho rate per ton from the Diamond, Castle (into anil Kyune quarries is $1.50 for footings and ruble stone, while the cost of tho stone is only $1 per ton. On dimension stone the freight tariff is 9'i per ton, and it costs only fifty cents per fool at the quarries. Better rates and bet ter transportation facilities aro needed and demanded, ami tho railroads can well afford to be more liberal in this matter. By reduc-ing the rales on our home products they will materially assist in building up Salt Lake, and it is certainly to their interest lo aid in making this a large city. The stone industry of Utah with co-operation on tho part of tho railroads could soon bo developed into an im-mense business. Wo hopo the chamber of commerce will use its influence in this direction, as it is a matter that prop-erly comes within lis jurisdiction.

Anonymous. Dknvkk is a beautiful city of about lM.OOO people, but in tho matter of street pavements it is uo better off than Salt Lake. It has got into an everlast-ing wranglo about the material to be used, and Ihero is no telling when its streets will bo paved. Salt Lake will do well to avoid any quarrels like that now raging in Denver. What we want is unity of action on the question of public improvements, and then all will bo well. We believe that if our people avoid wrangling Salt Lake will bo paved long before Denver. Seems to lie a Choice. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Con-gress is already prohibited by the. con-stitution from making any law respect-ing an establishment of religion, and the public schools can safely bo left where they belong to the jurisdiction of the several stales.

TKKAT US FAIRLY. Salt Lake is not being treated fairly by congress in tho matter of the federal building appropriation. It is not very likely that shu will now get over $,)."0,-00- 0 for the ney postolllco. Jt may bo argued that this is owing to tho "had break" made by a certain real estato clique, but nevertheless congress has before it the facts and ligurcs concern-ing tliu magnitude and importance of Salt Lake's postal business, and tho great necessity for a building that will accommodate tho demands of this growing eily. Today Salt Lake has 50,000 people. By the time the post-offic- e is completed, which will bo be-tween four and five years from now, the city will have a population of over 150,000, Tho postollico should, there-fore, bo planned for a city of thai size. The trouble with the federal gov-ernment is that it docs not erect its public buildings with a view of accom-modating tho future needs qf tho rap-idly growing cities, and in this respect it is continually committing outrageous blunders. The sum of $250,000 will not pay for a building largo enough for our present needs, let alone tho growth of the next live years. Numerous cities not so largo as Salt Lake, and some of them of very slow growth, have during this session of congress received appro-priations of $500,000 for public build-ings. Such partiality Is simply out-rageous, ami ought to bo pro-tested against in tho most vig-orou- s manner. Tho cast has been particularly favored. The Denver New s expresses our sentiments on this sub-ject as follows: "Talk about extrava-gant appropriations for public buildings iu tho west. Thu litllo coal town called Seranton, located somewhere in lVnu-syl- v tuia, was allowed $500,000 the other day for a postollico building. Com-pared with tho possibilities of such towns as Helena, Butte City, Seattle, Sail Lake City, 1'iieblo or Trinidad, Seranton is a bust year's bird's nest." Not Found There, From Life.

" "One of tho Inexplicable things is tho opposition manifested in the city .council and iu certain other quarters, to tho Salt Lake railroad company." Such is the introduction of a long edi-torial in the Herald in behalf of tho old street railway company, and tho paper asks "Why is It?" Tho fact is, that there is no opposition to that company. Tho granting of franchises to new com-panies, thus giving au opportunity to new capital to bo invested, cannot be be called opposition. Tho refusal to grant a monopoly in tho shape of a blanket franchise to tho old company, certainly cannot be called opposition. Giving every body equal rights and a fair show- - surely cannot bo called op-position. Tho assessment of a one mill and a quarter on each faro to bo col-lected by new companies, while tho old corporation is not required to. pay any such toll, cannot be called opposition. It is truo that the old company has spent a great deal of money, and has built up a splendid lino of street ear service, but at tho same time it is bound to make money, and it has been treated very liberally by the city. The trouble with tho old company is that it wants the earth, and can't get il. That ex-plains why it has so vigorously opposed any new street railway enterprise. That's where tho "opposition" comes in. Among the Jokers. Don't fret about what your reputation will be alter death. Tombstones are mighty charitable.
