Spring comes with zephyrs soothing Stern Winter's forehead smoothing. Engines drag down the dry keels to the shore; A field the cattle mingle, The farmer shuns his Ingle, Meadows with frost no longer now are hoar. From heav'n kind Luna glances, While Venus leads the dances Ana comely Nvmphs and graces, many a pair Shake earth with rhythmic footing; Or glowing Vulcan, putting Fire In Cyclopean forges lights the air. Now oil your locks to shining. Green myrtle in them twining, Or flowers, which the fields no more refuses. And now the time is on us In groves to honor Faunus, Whether a ewe or tender kid he choose. With foot impartial, pallid Death beats at hovels squalid And kingly towers; Sextlus, thy life Is bleat Yet life's so very fleeting Long hopes ne'er see completing. Night, full of flitting shades will thee invest And Pluto's gloom forever. When thou art there, oh never Shalt thou with dice select the lord of wine, Nor shall thy heart grow tender O'er Lyddas the slender, Whom youths love now, for whom maids soon Will pine, G. M. W. FOWDEBtr. The grand master workman of the knights of labor is a wonderful dis-organizes Not many men could suc-ceed as well as he did to reduce an order numbering a million members to less than half that number in so short a tinie and without apparent necessity. The trouble with Powderly is, he has too much mouth and too little brains. So long as peo-ple were watching his mduth only they looked upon him as another Moses who was to lead the workmen out of Egyptian bondage. No eulogy was too fulsome for hiin. At one time it was even debated whether he would accept the democratic nomination for governor of Pennsylvania. The fact that he could be nominated and elected seemed to his ' admirers a foregone conclu-sion. Since then Mr. Powderly's brains have come under the crucicle of several public tests and the grey matter was found highly diluted. Nobody more than the knights of labor themselves realize the damage he has done to their organization, and it is as certain as fate that he will never again succeed himself. No rational man will dis-pute tho right of workmen to or-ganize and act as a unit, and so far as the aims of the knights of labor are con-sidered, they are most lawful and laud-able. Under proper leadership the knights would have been a power frfr good to themselves and tho country, while the nincompoop leadership of Powderly has brought nothing but dis-aster and disorganization to them. If ho could only appreciate his incapacity and resign, making room for some able man of whom tho organization has a great many, ho' would render the most and only signal service to the order.

SEPTEMBER 8, 1890. A til A 7. V KYII'UKHS. A cablegram this morning relates the latest freak of, Empress Elizabeth of Austria iu traveling about Europe in-sisting that she is the wife of a Greek merchant. Elizabeth if she were not an empress would still be a remarkable woman. Nearly forty years ago the Emperor Francis Joseph was betrothed to her oldest sister, but on meeting Elizabeth foil in lovo with her at first siifht. and wooed and won her for his wife. For twenty years at least she reigned supremo as the first beauty of Europe, and many are tho cosmetics that bear her name, indicating that by their use the loveliness of the em-press can be attained. But it was not through artificial aid that Elizabeth pre-served her youth and beauty so long and so incontestably that even in the halcyon days, of the French court Eugenia could not rival her. Tho Austrian woman was passionately fond of outdoor exercise. She could row a boat, ride a blooded steed or walk a distance that would tax tho strength of an athlete. She was well known in the fox haunts in Ireland and in the rocky fastnesses of the Alps where she hunted the chamois.' Withal she was a modest woman, a model wifo, a faithful mother, au adroit politician. But un-fortunately for her she was, or is, of Bavarian birth and the taint of insanity is in her blood. Like her cousin the unfortunato King Louis, whose tragic death hi lake Constance is still a mys-tery, she was filled with hallucinations that - required the constant vigil-ance of her attendants over her. Since hor dissipated son, Crowu Prince Rudolph, suicided two years ago her head seems to be completely turned, and no freak that the cable may announce about hor will surprise any-one who knows the history of this most remarkable woman. We thought the county election was over, but here comes Fergus Ferguson with a lengthy petition iu the district court anxious to keep tho fight up. Ucanwhilo Mr. Allen will doubtless attend to his business as clerk with the unruffled dignity becoming the oilice. VOICES OF THE STREET. ''I can't for the life of me understand why men will gather in twos, fours and sixes in the center of the sidewalk to carry on a conversation," remarked a visitor in the city to me one evening last week. "In all cities I have visited in the east," he continued, "there is an unwritten law, born partially of neces-sity, of course, through nsrrow side walks, against the blocking up of the thoroughfare to pedestrians by thoughtless people. But should a crowd gather on the walk to hold a conversation it would quickly be dispersed by a polioeman. When two men meet on the walk and desire to hold a conversation, they step in close to the buildings or to the edge of the curb, thus.allowing the sidewalk free to the pedestrian. Why, do you know," he said, growing excited, "I have seen the sidewalks iu this city so densely packed by men that ladles were compelled to step off into the street to get around the crowd. It is a shame and should be rem-edied." And as I dodged in and out to avoid colliding with' thoughtless "obstructionists" I echoed the senti-ments of the observant visitor and mur-mured it is a shame and should be rem-edied. Another nuisance I have noticed Is the shrill voiced youth who pushes a small cart along the sidewalks and howls into one's ears "ice cream! 5 cents a I have fervently prayed, but somehow or other without avail thus far, that a building would drop upon the cart or the voice, or both; or that the earth would yawn and swallow them from sight forever. Perhaps, sometime, in the mystic mazes of the future an indignant populace will rise up in its wrath and smite alike the wagon, the boy, and the from the earth. Have vou a soul, dear reader, that is susceptible to the beautiful in nature? Are your eyes open to an appreciation of the rarest boon to humanity the intricate, wonderful and oftentimes astounding handiwork of nature? If they are, then indeed are you blessed. To the mercenary-minde- theso lovely moonlight evenings are not one-hal- f so interesting as the probable fluctuations of tho grain market next week or the price hogs will command iu the fall. To tho worldly-wise- , purse-prou- d in-dividual the grandeur of the Wasatch range of mountains, softly sleeping beneath the silvery stream of dreaming moonlight is nothing. Tho fond recollections recalled by shaded streets and inviting alcoves, where the velvety fingers of the wind twine through tho sighing branches of the trees are mere drib bungs of exaggera-ted mediocrity. But the lovers of na-ture see and forget forget that this world is a Hying farce enacted by wretched actors; forget that men are liars and wo-men are hypocrites; forget that the religion of' today is shaped like the latest fall styles to suit the purse of the purchaser; forget that the spectre of honesty stalks over its own sepulchre; forget thfit men are weak and women frail, and in the sublimity of the occa-sion forget that the God who was mur-dered on tho cross would be killed by electricity today were He to earth, and know only that the beauties of earth are visional and fleeting in comparison to those beyond this dream of existence. I think it a monumental disgrace to Salt Lake city that Liberty park is not better cared for. By a judicious ex-penditure of money the park (in name only) could be made one of the finest resorts in the west. Beautiful drives, graveled walks, tasty flower beds, dis-porting fountains, refreshing bowers, and other needed improvements could be made that would make the place a city pride. As it now is it is a pitiful spectacle of "what might be." "Laugh and the world laughs with you" is all right. But don't "smile." "When I die," said a friend of mine "I think I will be buried in the Mormon graveyard." "Why?" I asked. "Be-cause," said he, "that is the last place old satan would go to find aGentilo." I stood in the street before the Na-tional saloon the other night and saw the sidewalk blockaded by morbid-curiou- s people for fiftoen minutes. Ladies were compelled to cross tho street to get past the crowd and strong men run the risk of eternally wrecking their digestive organs or having several ribs crushed in the jam of human-ity that stood listlessly around discussing with cold blooded fiendish-nes- s the merits of the suicide whose body was cooling into death's embrace in the National saloon. Where was the polieemau who should have kept the sidewalk clear and made a passage way for pedestrians? As echo had retired for the night, the wailing answer, "Where was he?" did not evon come back on the winds. Celbe Clare. An old saw has It that figures never lie. How comes it then that one con-gressman figures out a surplus where another finds a deficit staring us in the face as the result of the appropriations so far passed. Maybe, after all, it is the men and not the figures that dp the lying. NEWS' OF THE NORTHWEST. A few days ago fire destroyed the steam saw .mill of Higby & Hawkins on Moore creek. The loss is estimated at about $5000. . The democrats of Natrona county, Wyoming, have two women on their ticket, one for county clerk and ono for superintendent of schools. The latter candidate was endorsed by the repub-licans. Charles E. Russell, at Bismarck, was recently extraciing the dynamite from a dynamite cap for the purposo of put-ting tho cap on a lead pencil. It ex-ploded, partly blowing the thumb and index finger from both hands. Years ago Tom Tobens, an old Colo-rado scout, was instrumental iu killing a notorious bandit who had slain a brother of Governor Shoup, of Idaho. Recently learning of the poverty and decrepit condition of Tobeus, the Gov-ernor sent him a check for $200 as a reminder that the services of tho old scout were not forgotten. Eugene Townsend, a woolgrower on the head of Deer creek, had a narrow escape from being burned to death last week. He has been cutting hay in parks in Judith mountains, and while thus engaged the fire, which had been burn-ing in the timber ior sohie days, was suddenly turned upon him by a high wind. He had but time to mount one of his horses and fly for his life, leaving his mowing machine to the flames. Friday night three prisoners from Centralis, in the county jail at Centra-lia- , Wash., made their escape. When Deputy Barnott went to lock them in the cage for the night about 10 o'clock they were gone. I'bey had taken the' poker ana by persistently heating it over the, lamp burned the heavy iron staple loose which held the steel latch with which the door was padlocked. When this was done nothing remained but for them to open the heavy wooden door and skip, which they did without ceremony. Their names are William Miller, aged 17, who wasarrestad Mon-day for horse stealing; James Callihan, aged 18, in for larceny, and Thomas Parker, aged 27, in for assault with in-tent to kill. .Sheriff Degoler offers $50 reward each for their recapture. James McCourt, 60 years of age, died in East Portland, Friday, from the ef-fects of a dose of carbolic acid, which he took by mistake. Deceased was a resident of Forest Grove, and with his wife, son and" daughter came to East Portland a few days since to attend an-other son seriously ill at the place men-tioned. Having sat up for several nights with the sick boy, whom he did not ex-pect to live, the old gentleman was completely worn out, and at noon Fri-day concluded to stimulate himself by taking some brandy. Going to a small cupboard, he took out a bottle that he supposed contained liqnor, but by a fatal error he found a bottle con-taining carbolic acid. Removing the cork he took a large swallow, half an ounce at least., He immediately sunk to the floor. A messenger was sent for Dr. Chambers, and meanwhile Miss McCourt got some lard but the unfortu-nate man was too far gone to swallow it, and falling backward expired within six minutes, and when the doctor ar-rived the old gentleman was a corpse. The physician made an examination, and decided that death was produced without pain, as the acid was taken in a quantity sufficiently iargo to paralyze the whole nervous system. Another train robbery is reported, this time from the south. If the rail-road companies must employ Piukerton thugs why don't they place them on trains to preveut hold-up- instead of hiring thuin to shoot, down striking workmen. The chapter of train rob-beries is growing long,and monotonous. Nobody euros particularly about tbe erection In Vermont bold yeslerduy, but tlio eyes of tho country aro riveted ' upon Maine and especially upon Speaker Keecl'g district, where the fight will take place next week. If the speaker fails of and it looks that way at this distance, what a fall will be there, our countrymen. Within a week at the utmost Chaun.-ce- y M. Depew will arrive in Now York. We hope he will embrace the first opportunity to make nn after dinner speech on the subject, "What I know about the Central strike and the em-ployment of Pinkorton ruhins." All tho country will listen with rapt in-terest. An accideut by which a dozen people were killed or maimed, occurred yes-terday ou tho Northern Pacific railroad. Of course nobody is to blame for the accident. There never is. Ben Butler once said the only way to prevent rail-road snmsh-ivp- s is to tie a director to the headlight of every train. In the meantime passengers continue to be run into death and nobody to blutiie. KUILDINO AND WAGES. When we read of the carpenters strike in Chicago, and the bricklayers strike in New York, and of tho strike of other building trades in other cities, we feel like congratulating the work-men of Salt Lake upon their more for-tunate lot. Instead of being underpaid and periodically thrown out ol employ-ment altogether, there is a keen de-mand for their labor at reasonable wages. Indeed, although bricklayers get $5.50 for nine hours work and seven hours on Saturday, and stone cutters u for eight hours a day, there is such a scarcity of these mechanics that build-ers and contractors find it very dilllcult to koep their ranks full. Common la-borers are not so scarce, yet there is employment for more at wages ranging from 82.50 for shovelers to $2.75 to $8 a day for mason tenders, according to the skill of the latter. Carpenters command $3.50 for nine hours work. In tills connection it may likewise be stated as a gratifying fact that the de-lays and vexations in building caused in the beginning of the season by the scarcity of material are now practically removed. There is quite a quautity of brick ou hand, though more could be iised if it could be manufactured faster and the supply of rough ston is at present sufficient to carry on the build-ing now under .way. Brick is worth $8.50 delivered on the spot aud stone brings about sixty cents per foot de-livered here. All the quarries in the vicinity of Salt Lake, to wit, the Bam-berger, Kyuny, Diamond and Castlo gate, are working to their utmost meet the coustuutly increas-ing demand. And as in wages and material so also iu the quality of the latter is there no causo for complaint. Our brick is no-toriously of a superior kind aud the stone compares favorably with the best Colorado sandstone. Altogether we have right at our door the means with which to build up a great city. The city council deserves credit for passing without delay the ordinance regulating the practice of medicine. When Mr. Hall suggested to leave the matter to the legislature he knew, or Bhould have known, that the legislature at the last session grappled with just such a bill and dropped it all at once as if by inspiration. The ordinance is a good ono as it stands and if properly enforced will inure to the benotit of the city.

It is necessary both for tho hotter appearance and greater safety of the city. And just as soon as improvements reach out tho council should lose no time in extending the tire limits. Nowhere in this country are the inducements to build substantial structures as great as here, aud the erection of ramshackel eyesores should be discouraged as much and as soon as possible.

As we have suggested before, they have still left to them pantaloons with frills ou the bottoms aud life is yet worth the liviug. Frknch may be a beautiful language, but we suggest, nevertheless, that here-after no attempt bo made to give public recitations in that tongue. We admit with a sense of humiliation but yet with candor of our ignorance of French and our consequent lack of appreciation of Mrs. Planers declamation at the theater last night. She should have tried to speak in English. Since lost February Salt Lako City is au American city, and the Herald the ouly relic of the past. It is said the contract foT' the base-ment of tho Ontario hotel is about to be awarded. Tho hotel registers show no diminution of visitor to the city, uiid with greater accommodations tho num- - ber will swell accordingly. There is room right now for both tho East end and Ontario hotels. No other city offers so many sights and attractions to tho stranger, and nothing but the fear of liuding all tbe hostleries crowded deters many transcontinental tourists from dropping off and spending a few days here. The time is not distant when Salt Lake City will be the natural sanitarium of the west and tho great lake the fashionable resort of the inter-mountai- n country. There, loo. tho lack of hotel facilities operates to our prejudice. Witiout advertising the healing prop-erties of tho hot springs, the rejuvenat-ing effect of our dead sea, the invigor-ating zephyrs of the mountains, tbe ab-sence of fierce windstorms and other if cliinatio advantages, tho flow of visitors from all parts of the country is so steady as to make Salt Lake one of the best of western hotel towns.
