Show ' I EVENING, APRIL 19, 1890. 4 , THE SALT LAKE TIMES, SATURDAY noon, to explain any particular not clearly understood by those who may lisvo received said circular of January 15th. Should no advantage lie taken of this confer-euo-then, we shall not be bound to comply with the terms stated previously, but Hhall be guided by whatsoever we may deem to bo to our advantage In the premises. Uy order of the committee VV. A. McKBNzm, Chairman. THK DEMAND OP THK CAKPENTEKN, Salt Lake City will this season do an immense amount of building. Em-ployment will bo given to a largo num-ber of mechanics and workingmen of all kinds, and there is promise of great prosperity. It is sincerely to be hoped that nothing will occur to delay tho building movement, as Salt Lake needs all tho buildings that can bo erected this season, and she needs them at once. Tho demaud for. business houses aud dwellings cannot begin to bo supplied within ninety days. Meantime Salt Lake will have to suffer much loss and inconvenience. Tho only thiug that will retain tho progress of buildings will be a strike on tho part of tho carpenters, and if such a strike occurs, tho contractors will bo held responsible. The carpen-ter demaud that 6u and al ter May 1st they shall receive $ij.50 for a day's work of nine hours. This demand is not un-reasonable when rents, the price of clothing and food, anil other matters are taken into consideration. Tho fact is that these wages, when tho cost of living is considered, arc lower than iu most cities of the east. Another thing that should bo borne iu mind is that carpenters, and building mechanics gen-erally for thai matter, do not have work all tho year round. The carpenters notified the contract-ors on Jauuary 15th, and again on April 12th, of their proposed demand, so thai they have had ample time to consider the matter and lo base their estimates ou tho increased rate of wages, Some of the contractors, as we arc informed, have decided to grant the demand of the carpenters, and we hope that they will all fall Into line, so that no ob-struction will bo placed iu the way of Sail Lake's progress. In order that the public may fully understand this important matter, we publish iu full tho following circulars from the carpenters' union; Salt LakkCity, January 15, im.

It is not at all necessary for any out-side lobbying against the Mormons. Congress will take care of the Mormon question in the futnro as it has in the I last. Any sensible man ought to know that the chamber of commerce cannot afford to' meddle with any affairs out-side of tho business objects for which it was organized. To accomplish mate-rial results tho members, both Mor-mons and Gentiles, must be united, and therefore politics and religion must not outer into any of the work-ings of tho chamber. It does not stand to reason that the Mormons will' fur-nish to tho Gentiles ammunition to be used against themselves, or that tho Gentiles- - will permit themselves lo be imposed upon in any such manner. ' THK MISSION Or UOVKBSOR THOMAS. The Herald is right in its attitude re-garding the chamber of commerce. The body is organized for business pur-poses and is made up of tientilcs and Mormons. Neither politics uor relig-ion should bo allowed to interfere with the workings of tho chamber.

The expenses Of Governor Thomas aro paid by the chamber of commerce It was charged by the Herald that ho had goue out of his way to lobby against the Mormons. Tho chargo has been emphatically denied by tho chamber, and the Herald makes a proper and incidentally says that it doesn't know that either Thomas or West, on this occasion,, has gone out-side the duties which they were em-- j ' ployed to perform.

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 info 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.

Republicans or democrats who pro-pose at this-- juncture to draw national party lines in Utah, will do well to read and carefully consider what the leading democratic journal of the west, the Hocky Mountain News, of Denver, has to say upon the subject, as follows: Commenting ou the statement Unit a demo-eroti- c organisation. Is to be; formed In Salt Lake, Tun Timiis of that city says "It lit a mis-take," and very truly asserts that "uo national polities should be mixed In Utah affairs" (or yet a while. There are dome Important local Issues to be dellultely settled before wetiave anything todo with national polities." Partisan Issues have very llttlo concern In Utah until the Mormon question is settled for all time. Certainly, for years to conic, It must be Gentile vs. Mormon, and until the power of the church Is destroyed in! Mnmnnns vote not In a body. "but divlde as do other citizens on national Issues, the voice of partisanship should not be heard In Utah. Anyothor action at tho present time would be the gravest folly. Gentiles should re-member that they have many illfllcult cam-paigns before them. They have yet only cap-tured the outposts of the enemy. LAUOK NOTKS.

What "The Times" Bay Window Reveals to the Lover of the Beautiful. "I have traveled all over the United States," said an eastern gentleman who stopped into Tub Times office today, "and I havo also been over a greater portion of Europe, but I havo never scon a more perfectly artistic work of art, in its line, than is exhibited in that sign of yours.,, It is complete in every particular, and if I am a judge, aud I think I am it 'cannot be surpassed any-where. The beautiful colors are so perfectly blended that their tints, while not beiug obslrusive, stand out in such delicate relief as to convey to the eye a most exquisite sen-sation of drowsy pleasure. You know it is said that beautiful colors whore properly combined have the effect upon the senses of compelling sleep, if gazed upon for a few moments. That is what I mean. There is a sort of sensuous delight, often read about iu eastern tale of the lotos eaters and the gardens of the Hesperides, which comes over an individual under certain conditions, and it is that sort of feeling which takes possession of the beholder who has a taste for the beautiful in art color-ing when he looks upon a bit of artistic work like your sign." ;. Tho stranger was so enthusiastic in his expressions of admiratin, that The Times man, standing behind the coun-ter, began lo have visions of favors yet to come being required; but when he had thanked the gentleman in a be-comingly modest manner for his eueou-iu-of th e sign aud asked if there was auythiug he could do for him, judge of the surprise he experienced when the visitor said: "No, sir; I have no busi-ness with your office just now. I am a stranger in Salt Lake and happened to be passing by when your sign caught my eye. I stopped to admire, and then I could not help stepping in to tell you what I thought of it." "I have experienced a rare sensation of enjoyment, for which I thank you; aud I trust that as a thing of beauty is a joy forever,' your beautiful hay win-dow may long withstand the assaults of time and other destructive elements." Great men are sometimes alllictod alike. Cleveland and Sullivan aro re-ported to be growing so fat that they will soon be sought after as dime mus-eum attractions. Mr. Cleveland, how-ever, deuounccs the report concerning himself as a base canard emanating from the fertile imagination of Charles A. Dana, whom he brands as a liar and highwayman.1 The language of Mr. Cleveland sounds more like that of Sullivan than that of an of the United States.
