The strains of the harmonica accompanied by the light guitar were sweet. The energetic swains planted their most melodious music close to the chamber of their, adoration but all to no effect. No lair faces were visible and the night stars brightly beamed on the belated boys. Call again musicians, perhaps the old man was on guard. ' Unless attention! at once given the matter the Union Pacific company will be hold for heavy damages regarding accidents that may occur any moment at its passenger station on South Tem-ple street. The Times has reference to the railroad crossings at North and South Temple streets which are un-guarded by watchmen. The former has no guard and the latter has a crip-ple on dutv, an old man who received his injuries in a railroad wreck. At all hours of the day and through the night the engines are running at high speed across North Temple street, and v is there to warn people of their danger. Why are matters thus when life and property nro at the mercy of the iron horse. The Union Pacific is sadly in ne'ed'of system we say system. It cannot come too soon. THINGS SEEN AND HEARD. A Few Facts From a Time's Pencil Pusher's Page. How much does your bull dog weigh? This is now iho daily qaery with peo-ple possessing this sort of caniuo. How oddly fashion does create these new fads. But to knock along in the usual rut would give us all the blues. Amer-icans demaud new diversions whether or not tho things created meet with practical vieva. Just so and last even-ing a bull purp of black aud tan was eoaxed on the scales of a First South street store but tho dog was not out for weighing. His owner administered a dose of strap, the collecting bystanders backing on bully showing his" jaws of solid teeth. Here we have it after the dog had decided to permit his master boss the situation he woighs just 40 pounds. v There are not a few expert card players in Salt Lake city. Said a vet-eran last night: "The only people, that I will not play seven-u- p with are; citi-zens of Arkansaw. The people of that state teach their children the mysteries of the game before they teach thnm their letters. A few years ago I lived down iu a town amidst the swamps of Arkansaw and cultivated the acquaint-ance of an expert of the place. They called him Sugarfoot and in no ti ne he had sweetoned all the players in the village so that hardly a man dare put up a quarter against the game. Things continued and finally two professional gamblers were imported to squelch Sugarfoot. The result was that Sugar-foo- t came out winner by I30OO, and the exports had to borrow tin enough to carry them out of town. They Iried cold decks and marked cards but to no avail. Sugarfoot's education had been so thorough that the syndicate supply-ing cash to the professionals sneaked out in a grove and gave up the ghost." "The custom of putting a new sort of twist on the mustache is fresh in this comparatively city," said a tonsorial art-ist. The knight of the razor applied small pieces of tin foil to the curled hairs of the reporter's upper lip and let them remain. After the hair had bem dressed the foil was removed and a curl too lovely for anything was on each end of the mustache. This idea' was probably pilfered from the secrets of a lady's toilet, she using paper or crimpers to curl her bangs. Really it looks as if each successive season is drawing the masculines closer to many customs used by the girls. That serenade on Commercial street prominent part In the political fortunes of his adopted state. In 1849 he was elected to the legislature. On the out-break of the war he entered the union army as a major of volunteers, rising through the different grades to that of major-general- . Thus at the age of only thirty-tiv- e years General Belknap had reached a, a topmostj round on the ladder of honor and fame. From 1809 to 1876 he was secretary of, war under President Grant, when the scandal pro-voked by his sister-in-la- Mrs. Marsh, in disposing of to the highest bidder, caused him to be im-peached on charges of corruption. He was not convicted, but resigned ami lived ever since m political retirement in Washingion, practicing law. He was a man of tine presence and bear-- , ing, making friends readily and hold-ing them. His one trouble, brought on him by others, pressed heavily upon him, and those who saw him soon after his retirement could not help noticing tho change of countenance that marked his grief; yet he never uttered a against the authors of it. Only onoe recently did ha forsako his law office to attend a reunion of his com-rades of the G. A. R. in Iowa, making a speech. Delknap's life was at? illus-tration of the vicissitudes of American politics. Peace to his ashes. A gallant soldier answered to hia last muster yesterday when W. W. Belknap died. Born in Hudson City, N- - J. in 1881, he graduated from settled as a law-yer in Keokuk.

HOMER Manaaer-- ume ass Main straet. under Rank ofSaltLake. -- . A MINING BOOM. The air is full .of. premonitions of a coming mining boom in the immediate future. We use an expressive word which like most words in common use, has a double meaning, a good and a bad one. It is conceded that our min-ing interest lies at tho foundation of the material prosperity of Utah. The amount of work visibly done In our mining districts must be seen to be api preoiated. All know that within the last score of its infantile years in Utah the mining Industry has contributed over one million dollars in clean cash to tho wealth of tho territory. It has given the farmers, the herdsmen and the fruit growers the best home market to be found on this continent. It has fed tho insatiable maw of the smelters and quartz mills in our valleys; loaded to ropletion erery freight car owned by all the railways in Utah and it clamors for more. It is the mainstay of our commercial and banking circles, and pays tho highest wage in the market to laboring men. For years mining for silver and lead has been under the ban of excommunication by a government which should have fostered and sup-ported it. Under the working of a new and bet-ter policy that branch of mining is emerging from the long and gloomy night which in Its direct and indirect influence has well nigh wrecked and bankrupted the nation. A new departure on the line of raining for the precious metals and their accompaniments has been in-augurated, 1 and when tho pestering speculators and atock-jobbin- g sharps, who, like hungry gad-flie- swarm at the outcome of a new policy involving a rise of prices, shall have subsided, the mining intorest will come to the front. Already the movement haa com-menced. , Prospectors with keen eyes and sharpened picks are thronging the height and depth of the mountains. Good miners are in demand at oponed and producing mineg. New and valu-able strikes are the order of the day. Capital, through Its agents and experts, is getting hold by actual purchase or by bond and lease of prospectively valuable prospects, and, we repeat, the air is full of Indications of a legitimate, in-dustrial mining boom of tho right sort. When, with the June roses, it bursts upon us In 1891, every voin and artery of the body polltio will throb with now life and vigor. ' In a financial, social and political sense old things will have passed away, all things will have be-come new. City lots and farm acreage, dormant coal fields and iron mountains, manufacturers and opening railways, will move into active prominence on the rising tide, which, taken at the flood, will lead to fortune. Every avenue to wealth and material prosperity flis open, on golden hinges turning, with the opening of productive mines of use-ful an4 proclo.ns metal. Let tho active flanking column of real estate men who can move in light marching order at t'10 word, during the winter's quiet on the Jordan, turn their immediate attention to mining enterprises, and thus kill two birds with one stone in the spring boom of mining and real estate values. Aftrr Their Buffalo. Laramie Republican. , Acting Gov. Moldrnra recently re-ceived lrom the interior department at Washington a letter asking as to the whereabouts and safety of something like seventy head of buffalo that es-caped from the Yellowstone National park. Through the assistance' of W. H, Koot, of this city, who knows the location ot all classes of wild game, it was discovered that the missing herd of bison claimed by Uncle Sara had wan-doro- d over to a point on the Red desert seventv-flv- o miles rorth of Rawlins. It is probable thai the government will attempt to have them driven back to the park reservation. It is supposed that the baud reported on the Red des-ert some time ago and which a party of Laramie plains ranchmen wont out to capture, is a part of tho number the secretary of the interior is after. If thev are not taken by some one, the Indians will get thera finally, as they have very little fear of the penitentiary law. , . - ARRIVALS AND CL08K Of HAIL8.

OCTOBER 14. 1890. Within less than five months the term of Senator William Maxwell Ey-art- s of New York, will expire, and the aspirants for his senatorial brogans are already shooting up thick all over the state. It is conceded that a republican will succeed him, no democrat having been elected to the senate since Kernnn ocoupied that place. No brainier man than Evarts, not excluding Edmunds himself, sits within the dignified ', pre-cincts of the senate chamber, and yet somehow he never rose to the rank of prqminent leadership. - Attorney-genera- l under President Johnson.secretary of state under President Hayes 'and senator for nearly six years, he has, notwithstanding his varied experience in the public service, no genius for pol-itics. Some years ago a double car-toon in the Graphic depicted hlra as a giant among lawyers" and a pigmy among statesmen. The latter classifi-cation of courso is grossly exagerated, but the country prides itself on the great jurist who conducted the defense of President Johnson,'' prosecuted the Alabama claims and argued the repub-lican cause before the electoral com-mission and hopes be may return to the field of bis greatest renown and oc-cupy it for many years yet to come, while some nsw Conkling may take his place in the senate where he is needed. One of Idaho's Senators. Idaho World, , Fred Dubois was the youngest man in the lower house of congress, and he will be the youngest man in the Senate. When he first ran for congress his age was nrged as an objection to his election as Idaho's Delegate John-- Hailey, his opponunt, stated in a public speech that the republican party did not want to beat him; that if they iiid they would not have put up a boy against him. He has made a record that any man whose locks have been whitened by the silvery toucu ot time might justly ne proud of. Will nny one now say he is too young to represent Idaho in the U. S. senate? Wo think not. The people now know his worth,, and his age is no objection, lie will be true to Idaho and her inter-ests In the senate as he has been in the house. ' ii,. . - President Harrison is back in Wash-ington none the worse for his contact with the people. Iowa lost two of her eminent sons in one day, Justice Miller and General Belknap. Tms month opened the oyster season v and the luclous bivalve is suggestive of , Caine'a record. Both are silent. Speaker Reed is in great demand on the stump. He opened the republican campaign in New York yesterday, and henceforth bis persuasive eloqnence will flow in unstinted plentitude from the Hudson to the Ohio. i Although the corn crop in Ne-braska was a partial failure, the crop of ' triplets is satisfactory. So at least Governor Thayer declares. The re- - pective fathers have not been heard " from;. Maybe they are overwhelmed by their feelings. m ' The first fruits of President Adam's presence in Omaha were gathered yes-terday, when James M. Barr "re-signed," and Robert Blickensdorfer was invited to return to bis former love as superintendent of the Nebraska di-vision of the Union Pacific Next! The New York World, always sensa-tional, has discovered a deep and dark conspiracy in the recent census to keep the dominant ' party in power. The story heralded to the country with all the fanfaronade characteristic of that paper is ridiculous on its face. That the census was inacourately .taken is true. The enumerators were expected to fill out so many questions, some im-material, some foolish and pome unlaw-ful, that the main point of population was neglected. But a conspiracy on the gigantic scf.le the World proclaims and which would have been necessary to make the plot effectivo, would have involved the army of enumerators and necessarily made the scheme a hazardous If indeed a possible one. Moreover, the cry for a recount docs not come from democratic cities alone. The whole state of Oregon, reliably republican, claims to be undercountcd to the extent of losing one congressman. There is just this one grain of truth in the ton of calumny the census of 1800 tried to reach out too far and as a result fell short of its legitimate work. For a generous expenditure of money we have nothing but an unreliable count. For this, however, congress is more to blame than the census office. It decreed what the latter carried out all the moro's the pity. TO DEEP CREKK? It Is now ten days since the clear cut project for the construction of a first-clas- s railroad from Salt Lake city to tho Nevada line was ' submitted to the people. In meetings, in committoes, and in the press the scheme has been discussed in- - every practical aspect. There are no equivocations, no loop-holes about it. The council knows just precisely what benefits the city hopes to derive and what cost it is ready to pay for the enterprise. The Deep Creek railroad is to be a Salt Lake af-fair, built, controlled and managed by Salt Lake people for the promotion of Salt Lake's most vital interests. It is to open up and lay at out doors the re-sources of a rich mining region. It is to infuse new life and vigor into our commercial and industrial activity. It is to secure to us forever the rank and returns of the inter-mountai- metrop-olis. It is to stimulate new enterprises into being and give employment to thousands of hands. It is a need which in all our munioipal existence we have sadly felt but never supplied. It is a scheme advocated by both the organ-ized bodies of business men, the cham-ber of commerce and the real estate oxchange. It is endorsed by the tax-payers and the citizens generally. It is urged by the workman, and opposod by nono. The projectors are men of good standing and ready to meet the people half way in every reasonable proposi-tion. They are willing to give every necessary, guarantee of their good faith and intontions. Can the council hesitate? Wa are not surprised to learn that the Tolstoi club in Boston is hunting for a new name, but we are very much v surprised to hear that the Rev. Edward Everett Hale is the president of it. We should think a good American name would be preferrable to a Russian even J for a Boston literary club. ' It depends entirely upon the' loyalty of the army to the king as to whether ' or not Portugal is to have a revolution. ; The country has been ripe for it some . time. As in Spain under Prim one res-olu-general may upset the govern-ment in a day. The race is degenerate but not entirely dead to patriotic feei-ng-j "Now It is not to be forgotten that if By the . abolition ot polygamy Utah can enter the Union as a state, she can also rehablllate the system at any time she chooBes. WillBhehea- - Hate to make a feint of abolition In order to get into the Union, knowing that after she is l aafely Inside she may have a brand new "reve-lation,' telling her to plurality of marriages?" New York Herald. ; Not if the congress of the United States knows itself and the constitution of the coming state of Utah. '. If It be true as reported that Mary Anderson before bcr marriage profited by the falsehood of her business man-ager In representing her father as the Major Anderson of Fort Surapter fame when really he was a confederate sol-dier, it is a disreputable piece of adver-tising business all round. Turning off the lying alligator while profiting by the false allegation is very muoh like the patriotism of the humorist who was willing to sacrifice all his wife's rela- - - ) tions in tho cruel war. . " LONDON'S UNEMPLOYED. Eugene Suo once wrote a book enti-tled "Paris, as she laughs and weeps." The contrasts of light and shade in all the large cities of, the world are start-lingl- y marked and sociologists, reli-- i glonists and reformers are alike puz--I zled how to modify them. Yosterday at a conference of delegates and mem-bers of the trade and labor organiza-tions in London to consider the prosent condition of labor and to discuss meas-ures for the relief of tho unemployed during the coming winter, it was stated that the number of unemployed was grea-ter than generally supposed, and that dis-tress would be very, severs during the winter months unless something prac-tical in the way of relief should be ac-complished. It is a grave question that confronts London every winter with ever growing magnitude. Tho army of unemployed, not tramps and vaga-bonds by choice, but people anxious yet unable to seoure employment, is es-timated to number upward of 100,000, and it is no easy task to save them from starvation aud the desperate steps thoy may resort to in consequence. Private' charity is powerless to cope with the mighty evil and a policeman's baton is a poor alternative for the cravings of an empty stomach. This year especial-ly when parts of Ireland are threatened with a famine which the government must try to avert, the relief of London's unemployed becomes a critical matter The labor organizations move none too soon to prepare for the calamity. . The Times never believed in the ex-- i treme measure of disfranchisement. It , knew the time would come when the . , political and material necessities of Utah would regulate the relation of her citizens to the union without the drastic I means proposed by extremists. It had faith enough in human nature to as-- f ' siime that the conflict arising out of po-lygamy would be settled as it was with-- t out resort to the Strubel bill; but so far as our representation in congress by Delegate Caine is concerned we might as well not have any, it is so utterly useless to the people. s ? , The New York Mail and Express i contains a very flattering' editorial no- - ' tlce of the liberal candidate for dele- - gate from Utah, but as his baptismal name is Charles and not George, and as be has not been "during at least twenty V years," but only half, that time, "the ' brainiest and pluckiest foe" etc., who i; kept up "a constant and conscientious , fight, at the risk of his life and prop-- t erty, against Mormonism," and as he flnally lays no claim to being "the only V Vflicient organ of christian sentiment of t. Vtab," we fear Judge Goodwin will V arcely recognize the picture drawn of V Brother Shepperd. '" |
