Show g ? THE SALT LAKE TIMES, FRTDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1890.- - ,1 find their greatest enjoyment and rec-reation in the theater, notwithstanding the anathema of the churches who con-demn promiscuously the good alike with the bad, but if the temples of the rouses, already degenerate by the introduction of cheap horseplays, shall be outraged by scandalous productions destructive of the finer moral sensibilities of its patrons, then the theater as an institu-tion of mimic art is doomed. BOSTON SHOCKED. Some playwright more intent on get-ting rich than a reputation, perpetrated a piece which some other fellow amend-ed and launched upon the public under the title of "The Clamenooau Case." It had a long and successful run in Now York, so far as box recolpts indicate success, although the main incidents of the play were notoriously and shock-ingly scandalous and purposely indec-ent. One charaoter represented an artist's model which forU practical in-tents and purposes was nude, and this shameloss parody upon the drama was suffered to spread itself in a respecta-ble theater, or rathei in a theater usu-ally devoted to legitimate art. Of course the author and manager were animated by sordid greed in the pre-sentation of a piece that was calcu-lated to attract the mob craving for just such entertain-ment. This week "The Clemenceau Case" transferred its field of wickedness to prude and puritan Boston, with the result that the press raised an unani-mous clamor for the suppression of the play. The mayor appointed an aldor-mani- e committee to attend a perform-ance and report upon it, and it goes to show what a vicious travesty of decency it must be, when even the aldermen were shocked and reoommended it to be stopped. . So long as there is money in shows of that kind there will be managers and performers enough to offend publio mo-rality by giving them; but it is surpris-ing to find reputable theaters thoir opening doors to the nauseating rot which brings discredit upon the drama and its legitimate interpreters as a whole, j There are multitudes of people who THE SALT LAKE TIMES.

Behind all the excitement and tur-moil in Wall street and in London on account of the tightness in the money market is the substantial fact that there is not money enough ia tbe civilized world to oil the machinery of its grow-ing business. The credit of almost every trading nation is strained to burst-ing in the issue of treasury notes or paper money based on gold or silver in small and unsafe proportion to tbe enormous burden of engraved promises to pay which it carries. When general confidence is withdrawn and suspicion creeps in, hoarding and summary de-mands on the part of creditors and of holders of paper money will precipitate I s crash and a shrinking of values. Tbe aggregate indebtedness of nations, cor-porations and peoples is almost beyond the power of figures to express. Spec-ulation, over-tradin- g and luxurious living, carried to excess, reap an ap-propriate reward la wide-sprea- d ruin and bankruptcy. (r As ia war time the ledge and placer mines of California and Nevada in Ibcir royal outcome saved this nation in a monetary point of view and enabled it eventually to resume specie payments; so the large extent of the areas produc-ing gold and silver will, in their out-come, save this nation from disastrous financial overthrow, The absurd scare over an apprehended glut in the silver market consequent on right legislation and presumed Inflow from foreign na-tions has not nor will it ever material-ize. We shall export in the future more silver than will be imported. When the new protective tariff gets fairly in working order, when the new issue of treasury notes in payment for silver bullion gathered into the na-tion's vanlta is added to the circulation, when, under the advancing tidal wave of mining aclivity,)the silver product of this country is quadrupled, and the ap-propriations by congress place in cir-culation the boarded surplus in the na-tional treasury, our own country will stand the strain of indebtedness far better than foreign nations" with their enormous war establishments. In times of financial disaster, when credit and paper money goos by the board, the mining Industry becomes the sheet anchor of our ship of state. Its outcome and shipments furnish ballast for the storm-stricke- n craft and its promise of sure instalments in the fu-ture are tbe favoring gales which bring her to a safe harbor with the old flag at hor mast-hea- We have enough of the precious metals hlddon in our grand old moun-tains and deposited in their canyons to pay the world's indebtedness, beside ; building up the waste places of our own country. The hardy prospoctors and miners who range our hitherto den mineral districts from the snows of British Columbia to the boundaries of Old Mexico, compose the imperial guard of our industrial army. To them, more than to any equal number of men of this nation in any other department of Industry, trade or profession, are we Indebted for the sinews of war in our contests for supremacy in national wealth and material prosperity.

' ' I'tah Crop. Og dsn Commercial. The editor of this paper asserts with-out fear of successful contradiction, that tbe ladies of Ogden are unexcelled for groce, beauty, and the many char-acteristics that make women so charm-ing and attractive. Some pessimistic ass cables the infor-mation from Berlin that a restoration of Poland, with tbe emperor of Austria as king, is being considered at Vienna and favored by the emperor of Ger-many. A scheme of that kind would involve not only a European war, but several wars. Germany would not sur-render Posen without getting a fair compensation for it. Russia would not give up her big slice of Poland without fighting for it to death, France necessa-rily sidipg her as a means of self pres-ervation. Italy as a member of the triple alliance, would demand Nice and Savoy for her share in the struggle, The dominant Germans in Austria al-ready threatened by Slavic accessions to the east would robel against further annexation of Slavic territory unless the programme provided for an ex-change of Poland for the German parts of Austria, the latter part of tbe fatherland, which would create a distinct Slavic empire In opposition to Russia, with a Hapsburg monarch at the head. Then Hungary, surrounded on all sides by a hostile race, would want to assert her independence, which she knows well how to do. And then the immutable Turk would be threat-ened, not from St. Petersburg as he now is, but from the capital of tbe new Slavic empire which would have to be created, since Vienna would be1 ceded to Germany. And as to tbe turbulent Czechs, what would bocome of them? Indeed the complications extend even farther, involving a complete change of the map of Europe and some of the colonies. Nothing short of an upheaval akin to that caused by the first Napo-leon can bring about the restoration of Poland, and by the time that comes to pass the kingdom will, refuse to be re-stored, because tho schoolmaster in Germany is fast Germanizing, and the police in Russia is fast Russifying the Polish possession of each,' and in another generation nothing will remniu of the land of Kosciusko except Galicia, which Already belongs to Austria, and a dying sentiment.

Although the census gives us a pop-ulation of a million less than we we can still whip any country that doubts our greatness. A woman in Birmingham, Mo., opened a saloon, but closed it quickly. Women's sphere Is extending, but not yet, luckily, to the saloon. It is a consolation to know that the first report of the Syracuse fire was ex-aggerated. Only six persons perished; but even that is bad enough. Amomo tho curious comments pub-lished throughout the United States on the effects of the Mormon manifesto re-nouncing polygamy, here is one of the Boston Herald which we glvd for" what it Is worth: The decision of fie Mormon leaders to al a the plural marr a ie system bas probably been a'lived 1 less m consequence ot govern-ment lntervrnt on than as the result of public sentiment occasioned by tbe growth of tbe Gentile element within tbe borders of Utah. While cut of! from tbe rest of the world by wide and little traveled tracts of ter-ritory, it was easy to lay down and maintain a system obnoxious to tho sentiment of the civilized people of 1 1 e wth j but when brought into contact wits thai c valuation, such a sys-tem wos bound to go down, or the church which sustained It lo e Its hold upon its fol-lowers. No doubt government Interdiction tnd the steps that have been taken t pi n'lh oftaDdsrs have helped along the result t ist has been reached, but that result would doubt-less have bfeo arrived at even If the govern-ment h id cot toksn It np-- ltielf to lntrrf ire. Freed of polygamy the Mormon church will protably eilat for a good while to come In ot tba material advantages It can offer t ) Its membrr j. It supplies a species of socialism which many persons desire tc en toy, andTprobably the elimination of tbe objeit'.on all) feature referred to will tend tn Increase rather than decrease, the nun b irof those who voluntarily join this religious organization. It would be a graceful and a politic move for the president to appoint Judge Gresham as associate justice of the supreme court, vice Miller, deceased. The Chicago Herald laments the de-cadence of the United States senate. The greatest fault our Chicago contem-porary can find is probably that the senate is republican. The appearance of Chaunoey M. De-pe-bef tie the International Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers and the enthusiasm that attended It, shows that he has lost none of his popularity or cunning. Notwithstanding their gerryman-der the democrats are unable to read their title clear in McKinlcy's district and Govi Hill of New York is enlisted to bead off the army rallying round the major and Speaker Reed. There will be Ave or mors immensely popu-lous cities in this country one for the Atlan-tic, one for the Pacino, one for the lakes, one for the Mlssifslppl valley, and one for the gulf. Texas will probably have the gulf olty, to which New Ovlesm and Mobile will occupy the same relation that Boston and Philadel-phia do to New York. San Francisco Is al-most cerla'n to be the great city of the future as of the present on the Pacific slope. St. Louis will command the Mississippi; Chicago tbe lakes, St. Louis Republic. Now add one great eity for the inter-mountai- n region, Salt Lake, which Is as sure to come, and tbe list as well as the truth will be nearer com-plete. DKl'EW'S SPEECH. Whatever may be one's opinion of Chaunoey M. Depcwasa possible can-didate for president, there can be no diversity of opinion on one point he is one of America's most gifted, brilliant and versatile men. It Is astounding what multiplicity of duties he is called upon to perform and still more astound-ing how well he performs each. One would suppose that his. labors as presi-dent of a great railroad company would monopolize all his time, but although be performs those labors conscientiously he seems to have no lack of time to e to politics, society, home and to economlo questions, filling each sphere with rare facility and grace. Yesterday Mr. Depew delivered a speech before the International Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, which Is remarkable for Its plain English. There is no grandiloquence, uo strain-ing for effect, no spread eagle oratory In it, aud yet it fills the readers, as it doubtless did the hearers, with the con-viction that hero is a man who says something every time he talks. More thau that, Mr. Depew, among a horde of timeservers and demagogues, re mains ever true to himself. His polit-ical ambition does not make a hypocrite of him and when he meets workmen as he always does as man with man it is not to deceive and flatter them to tho end that he might subserve his own seltish interests. . It is a relief to hear, sometimes among the din of the small politicians the voice of this gifted and courageous American. At the rate at which the greyhounds ' of the Atlantic smash all previous rec-ords of spoed it will not be long before a trip from New York to Liverpool shall be made in the same time as a trip from New York to San Francisco. A NEW rifle is to. be introduced into the United States army, and the boys in blue who carried the trusty Spring-- ' field in so many hot fights will say a reluctant farewell to tbe old gun and tbe fond reminiscences it bears with it. When G. M. W. Powderly reads this passage of Depew's speech, ' certain qualities of audacity, fluency of speech and rapacity for manipulating caucuses and conventions, push for-ward many men who know little of the great Interests confided to their care," he will promptly recognize the counter-feit of himself. Utah's irrepressible Sam Small is eipected to take the political stump In Massachusetts and the local papers duly announce that "the voters are going to ; be kept pretty wide awake for the next . three weeks." They will have a change from tbeir native twang anyway. The failure of A. G. Peters, the Mich-igan salt and lumber king, for $3,000,000 is a national misfortune, coming at this time when the country is just about settling down to a normal business con-dition, after the exciting and anxious days following the recent Boston fail-- ' nres and the Wall street upheaval. And the Kditor Is Happy. Ogden Union. ' Give us lights or give us d . Mud I Well, yes, there is a little mud out our way. The mud will soon dry up now. A Cry for Arliona, We rise to remark, observes a gifted exchange that if any individual says that Arizona, this portion of it at least, is nothing but a parched desert, and will make an affidavit to that effect, we will present him with a gilt-edge- d chromo of Ananias and Sappmra dan-cing on the red-ho- t gratings of a historic place that isn't oalled heaven by a Ions shot. Thick and fast follows casualty upon casualty among our great public men. Admiral Porter is the last one lying dangerously ill, and the gravest fears that the end may be near are enter-tained by those surrounding him. The hero of New Orleans, Vicksburg and Fort Fisher is seventy-si- x years old. Deleo ate Cainb has had himself in-terviewed in the Cleveland Leader to the extent of two solid columns. Did f he say anything about silver, lead, rail-roads, manufactures, climate, immigra-tion; anything about Salt Lake city? Not much. Tbe burden of his subject was polygamy, in the same strain as of yore. Tbe delegate from Utah knows , nothing and nobody in Utah except the church, and yet he pretends to repre-sent this great territory in congress. Save the mark. UTAHNOTES. There are said to be three feet ot snow tn American Fork canyon. John C. Ostler of Nephi, bas been released from the London conference to re-turn borne. The Hober Herald says it is reported that a herd ot sheep was snowed in at the bead ot Duchesne. Before the present year shall have passed away, Nephl will be blessed with a beautiful opera bouse.
