In small towns, tho suno authority persist, a lire is almost always a total loss, Perhaps so. lint lu small towns there tiro no lire appliauces as in this hi city. That tho Insurance companies are uot making any money is an assertion we cannot and care not to deny; wo sim-ply marvel that they should continue in an unprolitahlo business. One point Mr. Grant tries to score in arraigning our lire department for and in support of his asser-tion he (notes tho Dinwoody and opera house tires. We don't believe any hu-man agency could have saved tho opera house which burnt like a cinder ho, and as to the Dinwoody building opin-ions differ. Thk Times does not wi.-- h to renew the bitter discussion waned on this subject after the lire, excepting to say that if inefficiency was dis-played it was so soon after tho ehaugo in chiefs as to bo accountable. Since then cxporiunco and improvements combine to make our lire depart-ment ono of the best to be found in any city of this size in the country, and w invite attention to an interview with Mayor Scott in the same connection. Fortunes are mr.iially wasted by our people in laying excessive rates of lire insurance, not warranted by any con-dition existing here. All this money goes out of Salt Lake never to return to the channels of home trade. It is an extortion plain and simple. Many of our business men am! many of our working men carry insufficient, insur-ance on their stocks ur household good" because of the outrageous charges. Some would rather run the risk of lire than the absolute certainty of lo.--s by insurance. 'i'liK Timi'.s again appeals to the Chamber of Commerce to take this most vital and urgent question in hand. iiebek ,?. ;k.nt on insurance. In another column of The Times to-day will be found au interview with Heber.1. Grant on the question of iu surance rates in Salt Lake city. Since The Times started the agitation fol-lower premiums, tin avalanche of sug-gestions, mainly in accordance with its expressed opinion, came rolling in showing the keen interest felt in the matter. Mr. Grant is probably the most prominent insurance man in this moun-tain country, and would naturally prompt him to stand up for his companies. Therefore what he says is not the impartial view of a disinter-ested citizen. Mr. Grant says the rate of insurance in Salt Lake is no higher than in any other city of this size. Contrary to this statement we have before us the policy of a gentleman formerly of Dos Moines. Ia., who paid a premium of twenty dollars on a risk of two thou-sand dollars for three years, while here his rate is $J0 per year, or $10 for three years, this being tho discount fur three years insurance. If, however, the gentleman refers to Pacific rates which apply to Utah, then we ask what reason is there to discriminate against tho Pa-- ; cific coast, and if there bo any reason, why should Salt Lake be made part sufferer therefor? The Times has shown that the meteorological condi-tion, tho width of our streets, our building material, etc., entitle us to privileges equal to the most favored cities in the union. Mr. Grant declares tho larcer the city the smaller is the rate of insur- - anco and ho cites London vie ! New York as an instance, Wo do not be-lieve the illustration is a happy one. The lire risk in New York, with its long rows of sfeuder resi-dence buildings, is vastly greater than in substantial, Loudon. Besides that, labor and clerk hire - and other things aru also cheaper in the world's metropolis than in New York c WHERE TUB TIMES IS FOB BALt Thk salt Lake Daily Times 1 for sals at IhefoUowlng places: HOTl. rnlnrtal Hotel, White Haunt, W nlker House, CUft House, fj'.ir.en House, Metropolitan Hotel.

Praise, ye who will of e 1 charms you find across tho sea ' The land ot stoves and sunshine Is good enough for me I've dorn- - the grand for fourteen months in every foreign clime, And I 'voitaned aheipof learning, but I've shivered all the time; And the blg-ce- b;t of wisdom I've acquired as I ran see-ls that which t aches that f .la land's the land of lands for me.

Eugene Field. A STAB IN Till: HACK. The Tribune pretends to be a Liberal paper when in fact it is nothing but a Mormon-bailin- sheet. Its policy, so far as it has any, is to devour un assort-ment of saints at each meal and top off the feast with some chestnuts for desert. Otherwise the Tribune repre-sents a ring and not a party. Tho for-mer is the source of its perpetual solici-tude, the latter merely an incident. Compelled by the inevitable logic of circumstances to support the Liberal city ticket last winter the government-elec- t was no sooner installed in office than the Tribuno opened its mud bat-teries loaded with foul insinuations upon it. When challenged to the proof the Tribune spiked its guns and slunk into a corner. Still its object to cast discredit upon tho city officials was accomplished. In the August election tho Tribune was responsible for tho partial defeat of the Liberal county ticket, pitting as it did its ring against the party. Co with the Tribuno cllne wittingly or not, and you will be lauded to the skies; go against it and you will be damned to perdition. This is the rule or ruin policy applied to every man be he poundmaster or chief justice. Yesterday the organ of spleen ami hatred was happy. It discovered u dis-crepancy in tho recorder's office, a:id without iuciiiring into the circumstances proclaimed tho fact to the world wilh glue. Hero was a slender pretext on which to baso an assault. The guerilla sheet promptly seized upon it to stab the Liberal government in the back. Recorder Hyaim is evidently not one of tho Tribune ring, and the opportunity to crucify him for that w as too tempting to miss. In fact, there was a discrepancy found in tho license accounts of the re-corder. Whether it is apparent or act-ual, whether clerical or criminal, is un-known and will remain unknown until the finance commilteo reports. This committee is investigating all tho tho departments, and not Mr. Hyam's alone. It would be mani-festly improper to fasten upon any one at this time the guilt the shortage. if a shortage should prove to exist. i course everybody knows that the re eorder himself does not issue licenses, though they bear his signature, and he is not expected to pers-uia'l- keep all the accounts. All that is required of him is to be responsible lo the peo-ple for tho honest administration of his ofliee, no matter what his relation to his subordinates may be. This re-sponsibility Hecorder Ily.uns does not shirk, and in the case of the discrep-ancy it was immediately made good by him pending further developments. That is tho part of an honest officer, which Hyums is. The city is not par-ticularly concerned in a difference be-tween chief and subordinates, and ex-cept for the brutal inuendo of the Tribune tho molehill would not have been raised to tho proportion of a mountain. Hut the dull axe of the paper must fall upon somebody outside its clique. ABRIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS. Schedule of arrival and closing of main at Bait Lake City F Stofflae, Nov. 17, 1SIJ MAII.9.

L Skcuktakv Pkik "nut's iro)osition to enlist luiliaus in the army may lie a very fjood one, but it is not by any means new. Detachments of scouts, enlisted, drilled, armed ami mounted as cavalry have been iluing good ser-vice in last Indian campaigns, not only as couriers bitt us actual combatants. In the Yellow-tou- o campai";il u small detachment of Sisseton Sioux had a running iiuht with the hostiles extend iny; over 2UU miles of territory, durini; which the scouts threw awny every impediment, even to (heir clothine;, ex-cepting their arms, and employing tin1 tactics of the savages they were abie, beinj; belter mounted, lo keep the enemy at bay ami iullicl a severe lo-- s upon him. (icneral Hancock com-mended the brave band upon its heroic conduct in a tfencr.il ouL-- which was read at dress parade at every post in tiie department, and no prouder sol-diers ever stepped forward to hear their praises sounded than these same In-dians. Application was also made to President Grant to decorate them with medals in recognition of their valor, but before this could be done, tho noble red men had deserted, because their military sen ice interfered somewhat wilh their visits to their tepees and sipiaws. Still, tho proposition of Sec-retary Proctor is, iu view of past ex-perience, a most excellent one and should be adopted. Miss Hakucniia is vindicated. VAr didn't General Miles go to the front instead of sending Colonel Cody; The Indian war whoop is fiercer than ever. The hostiles are now fight-ing with their mouths. Thk democrats never miss an oppor-tunity to strike at the old soldier when the pension bill comes up for discussion. Faith cure may have cured the faith Df Isaac Hamilton, a farmer living near Marshal, Mo., but it did not cure his ills, lie is dead. WE AUK ALL A VI KKIVANH. Under the above caption tho Hos-to-llera'd. after noting the fact that tho Itritish American association ii an important factor in tho municipal cam-paign now pending in that city, says: This organization lias been favored as an opposition to Irish inllucncc; but from nn American standpoint wc should say that both were objectionable mani-festations of political power. We dep-recate having any man elected to a public oilice in this country because he is an Irishman or nn Englishman; for this would be a subordination of our nationality to foreign considerations. Likewise, we believe it is detrimental to our best inlercsls to have Americans owe the.'r success nt the polls to the elTorts of these semi-foreig- organiza-tions. When peoplo conio to this coun-try to throw in their lotwilhus.it should be in no d and quali-fied fashion, and wfl have that opinion of the good seuse of naturalized En-glishmen and Irishmen to justify the opinion that, in spite of the claims of leaders of associations, they are likely to vote as independent, thinking Amer-icans, and not at the dictation of organ-izations which, whatever else they may be, owe thoir existence to notions. This is a sentiment which deserves to be nursed and nurtured to a healthy growth. We learn in a roundabout way this: The mysterious absence of Indian Com-missioner Morgan from Washington during tho excitement over the Indian troubles has occasioned a good deal of comment in official circles. Nobody was able to discover his whereabouts, nor was it known when he would return to his post. It appears now, however, that Commissioner Morgan has been making an extended tou r through the Indian country, iniiiring into tho condition of tho various Indian tribes and investigating the war rumors, which, by the way, he finds to be greatly "exaggerated. That is just what might have been expected of our capable, energetic and level-heade-ludian commissioner who had the stam-iu- a to hold out against the Colorado boomers in their frantic efforts to drive the Utcs from their state into this terri-tory. The Nation's Vacant laud. Omaha llee. There are still in the United Slates vacant lands enough to constitute a great empire, if they were all available for settlement and cultivation. Ex-clusive of Alaska there are nearly six hundred million acres, aboout half of w hich are surveyed, ami with the north-western territory the total is niue hun-dred and fifty-liv- e million acres. Ne-braska has a li:t'e over eleven million acres of vacant lands, all of which has been surveyed. Leaving Alaska out of consideration, there remains a vast area still to be occupied, so far as it is availa-ble or can be made so, aud a great part of which will doubtless within the life-time of another generation be taken up and made to contribute to tho wealth of the nation. The socrestary of the in-terior, in his annual report, advocates a continuance of tho government re-garding the public lands under which such enormously beneficial results have been attained, lie believes the republic strengthens permanently its most sub-stantial resources when it converts its wilds into homes, establishes upon the vacant national domain new territories, and maintains them until they come iuto the union as prosperous states. Hut a great deal of this immense em-pire of vacant lands is now unavailable for settlement. There aro vast arid areas that must be provided with ade-quate moisture before they will become of any value. These deserts, in order to be made productive, must Le claimed by irrigation. In Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Colo-rado, Arizono, New Mexico and the Dakotas there aro hundred of thou-sands of acres which will have to bo pro-vided with a supply of water before they can be cultivated and made to sus-tain an extensive population. Congress has taken steps in this direction, but more liberal and comprehensive legisla-tion will be necessary, and it must come in the not very remote future. While the figures of the vacant lands of the nation are large, the amount of such lauds lit for settlement is comparatively small and will meet the demand for only a few years longer. No additional pro-vision looking to the reclamation of the arid regions, which constitute so large a part of the vacant lands, is to be ex-pected at once, but within tho next ten years this questions will become one of par i moo nt importance ond there will be a general demand for the reclamation of all that portion of the arid region that can be made available for settlement and cultivation. Orrt new battle ships have a wonder- - Tu 1 capacity for speed, but they will sever lest it lu actual war. Americans do not run. Col. Buffalo Bill's engagement ivith Colonel Sitting Bull was not half o successful as his engagement with the crown heads of Europe. Of cor use the n bill reso-lution adopted by the farmers' alliance was inspired from democratic head-quarters. We never doubted it. TnE extortionate premiums paid for Bre insurance in this city would build ns the handsomest city hall in the west In less time than it could be con-structed. Xebraska shows the largest relative increase of population in the last cen-sus, but judging from the pitiful ap-peals for assistance sent out to the country from the starving people of that state we imagine tho increase wouldn't be quite so imposing if the destitute hail the means to get out. Permanent prosperity can never be achieved in a country whoso resources are not varied. Agriculture aloue. or mining alone, will not sustain a com-monwealth forever. A multiplicity of interests, such as mining, agriculture, manufactures, etc.. is thu chief bulwark against adversity. Many heads have many minds, as witness The Times' interviews with at-torneys on the decision of Judges Zane and Anderson touching the Mormon naturalization question. Grand Master Workman advice to the farmers' alliance ought to be of special value. Powderly knows what it is to go up like a rocket end come down like a stick. Jrnr.E liOODivix will never again run for cougress when he peruses the following peroration in the "Korres-pondetitcn:- " Holjorna pa politlUens stormiira haf lialairt, slK lietydlU--t efloi' do "LiUerales" stora den 1 slstlidue Noveiuli T.

We don't know whether it is compli-mentary or not but it will crush him just the same. Titr southern managers of the farm-ers' alliance as nn adjunct to the demo-cratic party advise the colored people to join the third parly. Anything to count tho colored vote against the re-publicans. The saddest part of General Be-lknap's sad life, and one that must have given him many a heart-pane- , is his failure to provide for Mrs. Bjlknap after his death. The widow is reported to be in need. This Is Sound Men. Htttte The Eastern free trado press is mak-ing a howl for the remov il of the duty on Mexican lead. This is a plea for tho Mexican greaser against the American miner. In Mexico greaser work in the .mines for lifly cents a day. The tariff keeps the products of their labor out of this country and provides employ-ment for American miners aj Ameri-- j can wages. At the same time the price of manufactured lead is not increased. White lead and red lead were sold to the consumer for as such when lead was selling at ?:.(! as it is now at$t.7"r The taritt' reduces the profits of the maun-- 1 fat tuiers. but adds no additional bur- - den to the people. It is a pity the' greasers of Mexico cannot vote tor the party which would admit the products of their i.i!or free to tuo markets of the United Mates. M v.iou Mi Ivisley holds with The Times that no amendments to tho tariff law will be permitted at this session, and that no legislation looking to free coinage will be enacted, and Major McKinley is in a posilion to know. As regards free coinage, it's a pity it's true and true it is it's a pity. Misfortune never comes alone as George Wr. Delumater of Pennsylvania is now learning to his regret. Not enough of his defeat in the late election for governor, his hank suspended yes-terday, it is hoped but temporary. Gladstone's conference with the Irish oommittee is characteristic of tho grand old man. Xo wounded pride nor tho venom of ingratitude rankle iu his breast. Home rule for Ireland is liis goal and no personal acrimony can sway htm from pursuing it. The Parable of the Calf. Chicago Inter-Ocea- The Globe-Democra- t thinks that "tho democratic party ought to be strong enough now to allow a fair vote in the south." That reminds ono of the story of the Irishman that trained his calf to live without eating, bul just as he per-fected his work the calf died. That is what would happen to democracy were "a fair vote and nn houesl count'' allowed. j The Essence of Cruelty. Now York Work. The very essence of cruelty is practiced toward tramps in Iowa. When one is jailed the law requires that all sporting papers shall be kept from him An incarcerated tramp without his sporting p iper is a forlorn spectacle indeed and truly. And now the New York Herald en-dorses Editor Dana for senator. Hon-ors are easy among New York editors. There is, however, one thing in favor of Dana if he really desires the office and that Is he will have the unqualified support of Governor Hill. Sir. o.; a democrat must succeed Evarts he might as well be a man of brains and rational views on the tariff, which Dana un-doubtedly Is. i The Only One Left Oat. Denver News. Congressman Clunie of California was t!i only democratic member of the Fifty-firs- t congress who was de-feated for as a member of Fifty-secon- The tidal wave dido t cross the Kooky tuounuius. Jn Justice to Mr. Junes. Clilcaso T.Hmnc. A Georgia paper compares the Rev. Sam Jones to Sitting Hull. This is hardly fair, Mr. Jones may be a less polished orator than old Sitting Bull, but he is not a coward. - , |
