Why this silence? ho had a host of sincero friends, while everybody who knew him admired him for liis brilliant talents. His death will be deeply mourned by those who knew him bust. Mr. Rothaeker was a Virginian by birth, and had not reached the age of thirty-five- . At au early ago he was en-gaged in newspaper work in Louisville, and was the pupil and friend of Henry Wattursuii, of the Courier Journal. He afterwards conducted a w eekly paper of his own In that city. Ho next located in Denver, and gave to the Tribune of that city a national reputation. Had ho taken advautagu of his chances ho would have made a fortune and be-come a great power in Colorado, but his reckless character und au unac-countable feeling of unrest caused him to neglect und throw away his oppor-tunities. His experience in Denver failed to teach him a lesson. His ca-reer elsewhere was the same as it was there. For a short time ho con-ducted Tho Hatchet, a weekly publica-tion at the national capital. He next went to Omaha and there had editorial charge of the Republican for some time, For the last year or two his health pre-vented him from doing any work ex-cept occasional contributions of a literary character to the leading metro-politan papers and magazines. Toor Rothaeker! l'eace to his ashes. His spirit of uurest is u rest at last. He is gone, but will never be forgotten by his loving friends. A BRILLIANT MAN 1K AI). Thero died in Omaha on Saturday one of tho most brilliant newspaper men in this country. His name was Ottomar Heboru ltothacker. He was a Iitcraiy genius, who had he not been cut off in his youug manhood would have made a name that would havo lived in the world of letters. Mr. Rothaeker w as a liucly educated man. Ho possessed a vivid imagination, and having a wide command of language, he was both a graceful and forcible writer. In the praise of a friend or tho denunciation of au enemy he had no superiors. He was a warm friend, and a bitter hater. He was a man of original ideas aud strong convictions. His wit was pointed aud sar-castic, and his originality and independence were admired by both friend ami foe alike. He had a deop sympathetic chord iu his nature, and when aroused in behalf of a frieud ho used the most beautiful and tender lan-guage to express tho noble scutimeuts of his gentle heart. Mr. Rothaeker was a born poet. Some of his poems aro gems that deserve a place in the ranks of American classics. His prose, which was tho acmo of pure English, was im-pregnated with poetic e.pressious,most beautifully clothed. In many respects Ottomar Hebern Rothaeker reminded one of Edgar Allan Toe. A genius, like Poe, he was of a most erratic and reckless disposition, and was his own worst enemy. Mr. Rothaekcr's dissipatiou no doubt led to his early death. He was a victim of consump-tion, which was caused iu all proba-bility by the excessive use of liquor. He loved social companionship and was liberal to a fault. .These characteris-tics frequently involved him in finan-cial embarrassments and dissipation, nnd explain the causes that led to his untimely end. '"But with all his faults Tub main word in the lexicon of Tue Times is success. P. S. Keep your eye ou The Timks. The city council cannot afford to let itself rest under tho cloud that tho Trib-une has thrown over it. THE CITV COUNCIL. . The Herald of Sunday attacks tho city council in a most 'unjust manner. It charges, among other things, that .the council has boeu reckless and ox: travagant iu tho expenditure of tho public money, and that it has been al-together too "progressive." It argues that it would have been much better had "a consorvativo council been chosen, and a policy of wise economy been pursued iu municipal improve-ments." It charges that tho present government "has been so wild, incon-siderate and extravagant that local citizeus have becomo alarmed and are earnestly protesting against the mad recklessness; whllo intending investors havo been frightened away," andsoou. The Herald concludes as follows: Now, having seen the mischief that Its course has wrought, the council should call a halt on Itself, or at least put on the brake, until the people can recover from the shock they have received aud matters can be turned iu the di-rection of their normal condition. Conversa-tls-is best, and is demanded ; progress marked by wisdom and not by recklessness is what is wanted by this community; the advance that will not lie followed by a retrograde movement is what the Halt Lake people desire. The council has It lu its power to recover much lost ground. Let us hope that it will be wise lu time, and whllo saving Itself from exe-cration will turn to and protect the city from the injuries which Its course up to tho present time has Imposed upon Halt Lake. Now let us investigate these charges. In the first place if tho council has spent any money recklessly or ex-travagantly we don't know it. It Is true that the police force has been in-creased, but that was a necessity de-manded by the public for the proper protection of lifo aud property. Side-walks have been ordered und are now being constructed. This also was in response to a publio demand. Outside of the business section there is not a sidewalk in this city, and the greater portion of the business sidewalks is a disgrace to Salt Lake. Think of a city of 50.000 people with- - out sidewalks. What must visitors think of such a oily Would they not naturally couelude that it is unpro-gressiv-about a quarter of a century behind the times? The fact is that the present council has been anything but progressive. It has been too slow to suit tho progressive men who want to- see this city push ahead with that vim which usually characterizes the growing towns of the west. Was not a public meeting called for the purpose of stirring up tho coun-cil and to have it get a move on itself, especially in regard to public improve-ments?" It was in response to a resolution carried by an over-whelming veto at that meeting that the council, unanimously, we be-lieve, granted a franchise to anew street railway company, thus permit-ting the investment of new capital, the employment of a large number of men, and the creating of a healthy competi-tion in the street transportation busi-ness. Tho granting of this franchise is in reality the cause of the combined at-tack upon tho council by the Herald, the Tribune, 'and the News, who seem to bo united in favor of monopoly in this business. In tho matter of one of the most needed publio improvements, namely,' street paving, tho council has been anything but progressive. ' Al-though the paving law went into effect on May 1st, nothing has yet been done towards paving the business center of SaltLuko. There are other matters which the, publio want pushed ahead, aud wo hopo the council will soon make a united and vigorous move all aloug tho line of publio improvements. Salt Lake will never bo a largo city without a marked manifestation of enterprise and the expenditure of money. For every dollar expended iu publio im-provements ten dollars will be re-turned in profits. The enhanced value of property, the increase in population, and tho growth of business interests will be tho immediato result of converting Salt Lako from an over-grown village! into a beautiful modern city. Wo say let the good work go ou. Let progress be tho w atchword. Down with conservatism, which is a synonym for moss-backis- The conservatives have held Salt Lake in check too long. "Intending investors" have been dis-heartened by tho lack of enterprise dis-played in this city. Had they seen pub-lic improvements iu progress iu every quarter of the city they would not have gouo elsowhere. Lot us ' give "intend-ing investors" some evidence that Salt Lake is a progressive city. So far the city council has been altogether too slow and conservative. Let it at once wake up and show tho publio that it is alive to tho best interests of the city by inaugurating an era of progress. Kevertlng to a.n.A.ncient Type. Fuck.

Mr. Henry Wnttcrsou is credited with having .prepared this epitaph for Col. Thomas Oehiltreo of Texas: "Here lies Tom Ochiltree; ho never did any-thing else." 'Gkorgb W. Guilds has received an-other largo credit in tWe ledger of the recording angel who keeps oecount of philanthropic nets. Mr. Childs has raised $00,000 for the family of tho late Samuel J. Randall. TiliiHE is now pending iu the house a bill to prohibit tho transportation of in-toxicating liquors from any state or territory into states where prohibition laws are In force. It is now stated that, notwithstanding the "original package decision" of tho supremo court of the United Stales, tho advo-cates of this measure propose to call it up at the first opportunity and use every effort to secure its passage. In view of the fact that' the supreme court decision, that original packages can bo shipped into prohibitory states, is based on the interstate commerce law, which is held to be constitutional, it is rather singular that tho prohibitory cranks should iusist on tho passage of any such act.' If passed, it would be in direct conflict with the constitutional princi-ples upon which tho interstate com-merce law was framed, and honco it would be knocked out by the supreme court. According to tho established principles of this government, there can bo no such thing as an interference with the Interstate commerce. GEMS OF THOUGHT. A good conscience makes an easy couch. Each day is a little life; our life Is but a day repeated. It costs more to revengs injuries than to bear them. True eloquence consists in saying all that is required and in saying only what is required. No idlest word thou speakest but ia a seed cast (nto time, and grows through all eter-nity. ; , i . Scandals aro like dandelion seeds; they are arrowheaded and stick when they fall, and bring forth and multiply fourfold. Life is a sacred trust to all. He is at fault who does not take due care of his own ; he ia guilty who does not respect the lives of others. It should seem that indolence itself would induce a person to bo honest, as it requires infinitely greater pains and contrivance to be a knave. Money to a mau ia liko water to a plant, only useful as long as it promotes growth-li- ke water in the fountain or water in the tank, keep it flowing, and it blesses; keep it stagnant, and it injures. A good inclination 1 but the first rude draught of virtue; but the finishing stroke are from the will, which, if well disposed, will by degrees perfect; if ill disposed, will by the superlnduction of ill habits quickly deface it. '..'.' A young man must so conduct himself as to command the respect and confidence of all with whom he coiaeein contact. The way in which he is regarded by others will bavo a powerful Influence on his future. To disre-gard the opinions of others would be to invite failure. Prejudice may be considered oi a continual false medium of viewing things; for the pre-judiced not only never speak well, but also never tbluk well of those whom they dislike, and the whole character and conduce is so considered with an eye to that particular thing which offends them. v Good manners are the blossoms of good sense and of good'f8etrfl. ' If the law of kind-ness be written on the.heart, it will lead to that disinterestedness in both great and little things that desire to oblige, and that atten-tion to the gratification of others, which are the foundation of good manners. Montreal Star. Has tho Tribune treated the city council fairly? Even if its charges are true, it should at onco name the four boodlers. Its continued silence goes to show that it has made a mistake, and docs not wish to acknowledge it. Gkovsr Cleveland never misses an opportunity to get himself into print, especially when he can sit down and take time to write out his opinions. His latest effort is a letter to tho Ohio farm-ers on the subject of tariff roform. Mr. Cleveland knows how to handle his pen better than his mouth. Tns story that Carlisle was intoxi-cated at the funeral of Senator Beck is being most vigorously denied. Those who know Mr. Carlisle at onco bellovcd the story a canard started ' for tho pur-pose of defeating him for tho United States senatorship made vacant by the death of Mr. Beck. . The probability is that Mr. Carlislo will be oloctod. This Applies to Halt Lake. Terre Haute Express.

Tho abovo is what Councilman Cohu sxys in regard to tho franchise granted to tho new street railway. He expresses the sentiments of the entire council, and the council is sustained m its action by the majority of the people, who e iu competition. Mr. Thomas O'Brien is not making nruch headway in his effort to introduce national politics into this community.

In the second place the great majority of democrats in this community havo no coniidence in Mr. O'Brien.

Councilman Hall. : The above sentiment is in accord with sound business principles. No sensiblo man will endorse monopoly unless bo is directly interested, and even then ho is acting contrary to his honest convic-tions.- "Competition is tho life of trade." That is a well established axiom, and it applies as well to street railway transportation as to any other line of business.
