Show EVENING APRIL 23, 1890. THE SALT LAKE" TIMES, VVTEPyESDAY more. In levying a toll on llio re-ceipts of the railway companies it has established a Rood precedent. The city council last evening got a move on itself and granted franchises to two street railway companies, each company to pay one and a quarter mills assessment out of the fares collected. This assessment is surely light enough. This certainly ought to be satisfactory to the parties who havo received tho fran-chises. .The work of construction will now no doubt be rapidly pushed all along the line.- - A great deal of money will be spent, and employment will be given to a large number of men. The council, in grantiug these franchises, . ' did its duty to the public and nothing The. NagaclouH Man. Harvard Lampoon.

The Times suggested a few days ago that the formal opening of the Salt Lake Mining and Stock Exchange should be made more than an ordinary event, and that it would lie a good thing to invite a delegation from the Denver Exchange to properly baptize our in-fant. The Denvei'iles opened the Kan-sas City Exchange, and the event was made the occasion for " a grand blow-out." It is likely that our suggestion will be adopted, and if it is, the mining men of Salt Lake and Denver will have a holiday that will not soon be forgot-ten. A visit from the members of the Denver Exchange will certainly prove of great benelit to Salt Lake in various ways. The money necessary. to liring them here and properly entertain them will be well invested. Let the opening of our mining exchange be made a red-lett-day in the history of Salt Lake. JUST PEAISE FOR 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. From the re-port of Government Director Spalding, of the Union Pacific, to the secretary of the interior. Traees of tlie Old Adam, New Yolk Sim.

Mr. Armour and Providence. Chicago Times. When pork at 12 o'clock April 12, is worth $1 more than the same pork at 11 o'clock of the same day. it, would cer-tainly seem that the law of supply and demand have about as much to do with the market price as has the nebular hypothesis. Mr. Armour evidently could give Providence cards and spades and still win the game. By the disaster at Rock Springs yes-terday, the Union Pacific loses over one million dollars. The Union Pacific em-ploys Chinamen because they are cheap. Two ignorant Chinamen caused the disaster, by cooking in the mine. Would it not have been better for the Union Paeilio to have entrusted its in-terests to the intelligence of American workmon, even though they arc more expensive? Doesn't this look a little like saving at the spigot and wasting at tho bungholo? Had American work-men been employed in this mino, the disaster in all probability would not have occurred. It Is a lesson to the Union Paeilio management, and that company cannot afford to have it du-plicated. Dispense with ignorant coolie labor and give, tho intelligence of free America an opportunity. It will pay in the long run. Tho Chinese must go. "Old Tecumsoli" on Yarn Spinning. New York Times.

Governor Miller, of North Dakotn, whose firm stand against the lottery scheme was so greatly to his credit, says that he thinks the battle will be renewed and that the lottery may be an issue at the next oelcction.

When the government decides upon parking and beautifying the Fort Doug-las reservation, as it surely will, and when the necessary work has been ac-complished it will be in order for those controlling tho electric street railway and tho Park City division of the Utah Central to provide means of rapid tran-sit to the Fort at a low rate of fare. This movement should be followed by dress parades and band concerts by the military at the reservation, and there is no doubt that these attractive fea-tures can be brought about if a spirit of is established by the right citizens with tho military author-ities, i' A second West Point within any reas-onable distance of (lie city, accessible by rapid transit , at moderate expense, would prove of inestimable benefit to Salt Lake, There is nothing more de-lightful than afternoon band concerts by trained musicians, and the many visit-ors who crowd tho city during the sum-mer months, and who are always anxious to visit Fort Douglas, would appreciate the suggested movement fully as much as would our own citi-zens. Llberly park is already reached by means of tho electric, and Utah Cen-tral roads at a cheap round trip fare. It is a delightful resort, and can bo inudo even moro so by band concerts every afternoon if possible, but at least three times a week, including Sunday. Now that tho city council has graciously acceded to the demand for Sunday con-certs, it is to be hoped that arrange-ments may soon bo mado with tho Lib-eral band to mak'o Liberty park some-thing like tho mall is in Central park, New York,' an afternoon resort for women and children, and citizens and visitors generally.

Somo of tho mossbacks aro unneces-sarily worried over tho question of in-creased taxes arising from the expense of street paving. While they admit that this much-neede- improvement will greatly enhance the value of prop-erty, they maintain that the burden upon their purses will bo too heavy. To relievo the worry of this class of people, The Times assures them that tho property owner will hardly feel the increased taxes. As wo understand it, paving districts will bo created, and district paving bonds will be voted. These bonds, running for live or tou years, at a low rate of interest, aro to be sold in open market, for not less than par, to tho highest bidder, Tho ready cash for paying tho pave-ment contractor is thus obtained. The property owner does not have to pay tho special assessment for pavement in one payment, but in annual install-ments. The first year's installment or courso will be tho heaviest, but with each succeeding year the payments grow less. Any property owner who has tho ready cash and desires to pay tho whole expense, aud thus save the interest, can do so at once. This plan, in all its details, has been found to work satisfactorily iu eastern cities. It distributes the burden of taxes over a number of years, and thus (ho taxpayer is not distressed. No one need worry about (his matter. It is hoped (hat everybody will assist in every possible way to push forward tho street pavements aud all other needed public improvements, as they will do moro to make Salt Lake a big city thau any other thing. Don't get searod at the cry of high taxes. It lias probably been started for a purpose, and very likely was suggested by a clique of moss-back- who would rather con-tinue to live in dug-out- s or adobes than pay one cent towards public improve-ments and modern conveniences, con-sistent with the advance of civilization and refinement. That mass meeting has already pro-duced good results. It has evidently put some life into the city council. The city fathers havo taken tho gentle hint from the public in tho proper spirit. Now that they fully imderstaud that tho people want moro push and vigor in-jected into city affairs they will un-doubtedly rush matters as rapidly as is possible or consistent with good busi-ness principles. The Times believes that tho council fully intends to carry j out tho' wishes of the majority of the : pooplo of Salt Lake, and to do overy-- i thing in its power to advance the best interests of tho city, v amusements. at the grand oceha house. "Alone in London" had its second representation last evening at the Grand. A fair sized audience was pres-ent, and the performance was received with approbation. This afternoon Mr. Arda La Croix's new play, entitled "A Domestic Comedy," was given to a rather atten-uated audience. The play has great promises for its future success, and Man-ager De Slietley is entirely satistied with its first performance. The scene is laid in the Adirondack region of the state of New York, and tho plot hinges upon tho freaks of a madman, Harold Merely, who, because of a long impris-onment for a crime of which he was not guilty, conceieves a deep hatred for Warren Ashley, by whose evidence tho conviction was brought about, and goes crazy on plans for revenge. One of these is to steal Ashley's grand daughter, Little Fay, which ho does, and carries her off to (ho mountains. He is pursued by the whole population of the village headed by a detective, Manly, and the plot culminates in a thrilling seeno where Manly throws the child from a height into a rocky chasm. Meantime Ted Tierney, a traveling tinker who has become a hanger-o- n of the family, has secretly taken up a position immedi-ately below the madman, catches the child as it is falling and saves it, and the curtain drops. Tho scene is very effective, The piece is well written; the dia-logues are good and in some instances witty; the movement is quick aud in-teresting; and the hits are numerous. As is always tho ease w ith a first per-formance, there was considerable nerv-ousness exhibited by the performers, but all in all tho play proved a success! As theVompany become moro used to their parts it will pass off with more smoothness. Touight "Alone in London" will eloso tho Do Slietley engagement. The council is to bo commended for the stand it has taken in regard to open ail' concerts in tho parks on Sunday. Every liberal-minde- d aud progessive citizen knows that music is an educa-tor, and has a rcliuing influence. Some narrow-minde- d and small-sonle- d people may say that this is "a lettiug down of tho bars," but thoro is such a thing as being too holy and sanctimouious. The Times believes in innocent recrea-tion and amusements on Sunday, es-pecially if they aro to prove a benefit to the working class, who compose tho great majority of our population. The Times congratulates tho ear- -' penters of this city and tho people of Salt Lake generally upon tho fact that there will be no strike here on May 1st. The building contractors have wisely granted the reasonable demand of tho carpenters for $3.50 per day of nine hours. Had they not clono so a strike would surely have followed, and as a consequence there would havo been a serious delay in building operations.'!! state of affairs which Salt Lake could not havo afforded at this time. Now building improvements will bo pushed all along tho line, and in six months a wonderful transformation will be worked. . X0T1CE TO CREDITORS. Kstate of George Boyle, deceased.
