And yet they say baseball is dying- - The Times has cut out and pasted Id a scrap book Judge Towers' concluding sentences in his letter of resignation to tho effect that he is not ambitious for oilice.

Hlgginson. , Attempts have been made to establish a hereditary aristocracy iu this Country, but they have failed. .1 has given way to tho aristocracy of f"he doliar, which is often more rude, more ignorant and less pleasing. But it has been an aris-tocracy of peace and not of hostility. It has given us "factories, steamboats and railroads and great industries, and has in no way destroyed. People may admire this aristocracy and look upon it with curiosity, bnt we are not ruled by it. No one here turn3 up his trousers at the ankles if he thinks it is raining iu London. We know this aristocracy of the dollar. We went to school with it, and we knew it as it sold tape behind the counter of a country store. Some-times it returns to the village and en-dows institutions of learning and builds public buildings. All over the land we find these magnificent building", these gifts, the result of the aristocracy of the dollar. But with all these great benefits there are dangers and peri's. One of them is the rapiditv with which it has come upon us. Why. in my boyhood days all of New England, wondered if Mr. dishing of Boston was a millionaire. Was it possible that a man could, would or should be worth a million dollars? Now we do not have to stretch our imagination to think of a man being worth that much money. Why, all America sympathized with Mr. Vanderbilt's daughters when it was found that he had left them the small pittance of $10,003,030 each, and the people were almost ready to take up collections in our Sunday schools for them.

A flow'r that ne'e to mortal eyes Was known before, they ehudd'ring tell, But now its ghostly atoms arise Where Custer fell. Its slender leaves, with sabre curve. And stinging edges, tierce and keen. Affright the boldest warrior's nerve Liko some die id demon blade unseen, And guard the heart-shape- flow'r of gold That God hath planted here to tell How dearly one brave life was sold Where Custer fell !

Once Rex was there; now but a single wreck re-mains. The Junebug has lost his sheen and is in tho propulsion business. It is sad, very sad. A REQUIEM TO HEX, Tho prido of Ogden did not go before a fall but just ahead of a hard winter. Two months ago there was naught but jolity there, and now the low, hacking horselaugh of the stranger lurks in.her fastnesses. Ogden put on her Sunday clothes and moved out in the highways and byways in gay attire. It was car-nival time and dukes were as plentiful as jimson weeds on the south side of a It is announced that a daily mail ser-vice is to be inaugurated September 1st on the Utah Central railway between Salt Lake aud Park City.

Madame Tladale. , A Seattle paper says: Few Seattle people are aware that one of the most widely known readers of the present day is sojourning in our charming city for a few days. Mrs. Laura J. Tisdale is probably the most able exponent and teacher of the Delsarte system in the United States. The grace and artistic ability which that famous system Imparts to its followers is well typitied in the readings of Mad-ame Tisdale. After much importuning she has kindly consented to give a read-ing at the entertainment and musicale to bo given on next Tuesday at the First Methodist church. The musical attractions of the concert will be very great, but the reading of Madame Tis-dale will add still more to tho artistic nlnfiailrA rf tlio THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By T. A. DAVIS.

In education, the American proverb has it, lies the safety of tho republic. Well, education is a great thing no doubt, but it depends somewhat upon tho kind of education we have in view. The preacher who quit a local pulpit a few weeks ngo because of immoral con-duct, had certainly his full share of mental schooling, but ho lacked in moral attributes. The fellow who threw an ignitablo solution at a Salt Lake lady was a chemist, but yet a ras-cal. The dockets if our courts show a remarkable contingent of educated criminals. No ignor-ant man can be a forger, a counterfeiter, or a confidence man, and the long list of elopers, absconders and similar gentry gives precedence to the intelligent. Rum and ignorance are responsible for a good share of the world's wickedness, but those of us who look to mere education as the pan-acea of every evil will revise our creed when we examine more carefully into it. What is needed is a system of moral training that shall lift our characters above the base level of greed, lust and pride, and teach purity, honesty and benevolenco to be the highest aim of life. Somehow the churches fail sig-nally in this achievement, though they pretend to emulate Christ. Evidently they are moro sticklers for words than seekers of the spirit. That nobility of character which is to empty our prisons and asylums, lighten the burden of life, initiate love supremo, banish scandal aud disgrace is not yet molded in our schools or our churches either. Is it at the family altar? Read the daily record of crimes in The Times and form your own judgment. THE BROOKLET. Albert Blgelow Paine. Thoa brooklet, silver, bright and clear. .

In 1880 she had 143,803.- - This is a very healthy growth. Taking population into con-sideration she is moro cntitlod to state-hood than Wyoming, Idaho or Montana, but the Mormon question keeps her out of tho grand sisterhood of states. When that question is deliuitely settled Utah will become a state. The health authorities have begun to take steps toward keeping cholera out of this country. The plague is now raging in Spain and Japan, and it is as liable to bo introduced into this country through a Pacitic port as it is through a port on tho Atlantic. Tho most strin-gent quarantine regulations should be enforced at every seaport of this coun-try. Wrists and Ankles. Madge in London Truth. I noticed one or two women in the park last week who looked better dressed than the .rest, and after puz-zling over the matter some little time I settled in my own mind that it was because the prettily shaped wrists were not wrapped up in fur or hidden in muffs. I" said as much to Charlie, and he went further than 1 did. "Yes," he said, "and ankles, too. Just think what a horse would look like if his legs where rolled up and swathed and hid-den up! What a thoroughly clumsy animal he would seem ;o be sure?" I dropped the subject, dear, but contin-ued it in my thoughts. For instance, how much nicer a man looks in riding breeches that are tight in the legs than he does in the ordinary trousers. Tolstoi Taikt of llellamy's Books. Thomas Stevens, in tho course of a letter from Orel, Russia, giving an ac-count of an interview with Count Tol-stoi, author of "Kreutzer Sonata," "Peaoe and War," and other well-know- n books, says: T offered to send the count a copy of 'Looking Back-ward' that 1 had in Moscow, llo had already read it. He didn't know whether the government permitted it to circulate in Russia, but he had received a copy through a friend. The story was very, well told, he said, 'but that was all he could say for it. There was noth-ing new in it, and all its ideas had been taken from Carl Marx's 'Capital.' "Bellamy had simply clad in popular clothes a set of old ideas belonging to other people. Henry George's 'Pro-gress and Poverty' is far superior, he thought. He was astonished at the popularity of 'Looking Backward.' 'It is only a plagiarism,' he said, .'but is com-plete as a story and fallacious through-out. To be of value the book should havo shown how the results which are portrayed are to be arrived at. With-out that the book is nothing but a fairy tale. Then men should live a life as happy and perfect as that which Bella-my describes, of their own free will and spontaneous goodness and not require government regulations for all their ac-tions.'" Salt Lake city has for matiths been Infested by a lot of. trarip fakirs who block the sidewalks and the streets to the great annoyance of the public. They collect crowds about them by their silly songs and senseless har-angues, and then unload their wares. In this connection there is also unother nuisance, and that is the sidewalk ped-dler. He pays no rent and no taxes, and in many instances ho interferes with the trade of the legitimate busi-ness man. We hopo lhat the authori-ties will take meusures to put an end to tho street faking and poddling. The public has some rights in this matter which ought to bo respected. Considerate. ' Harper's Bazaar. I like that Mr. Freshleigh, Amanda. He was graduated this year, was he not? Yes, pa. I am glad you like him, for I think he is real smart. He is real smart. He came to me at my office yesterday and said that as he expected to get through his vacation in September he wanted to go into busi-ness; and what do you suppose he offered to do? What, papa? Said if I'd make him a full partner in the business, he'd marry you. Concerning' French Cooking. New York Tribune. Mrs. Emma P. Ewiug aimed a blow at what is called French cookery. "I have never been abroad," she said, "but if the abominable, nasty messes served up at hotols and restaurants under mon-grel foreign names are a sample of French cookery, my earnest prayer is to ho delivered from it. We don't need to go to Europe to learn how to cook the rice and corn that grow here in such profusion. All we need to do is to use our own brains and scientific processes that can be mastered by the people of any intelligent nation. Audrew Car-negie's English bill of fare at his su-perb dinner to the con-gress was a wise innovation. I have no patience with those who persist in using names to describe Amer-ican dishes. I don't know enough French to order a meal in a railroad dining car, and there are thousands of honest people in the same predicament. Our bills of fare need reform. The flavor of soup is not improved when it becomes potage, and black coffee tastes no better uuder the name of cafe noir." Helping on the Boom. New York Press.

Brick work has begun on the opera house at Ogden, and an early comple-tion is promised. There are twenty-fiv- e guests in tho city jail at Ogden, with the next official "ship" to hear from.

The Elko, Nevada, Daily Indepen-dent charges ten dollars for tho an-nouncements of candidates. In a re-cent issiio it had seventeen of these an-nouncements, with numerous precincts yet to hear from. In making the candi-dates pay for these notices the Indepen-dent is acting on strictly business prin-ciples. It is something that every news-paper should do. It takes money to run a newspaper, and there is no good reason why office seekers should be ad-vertised gratuitously any more than the dry goods merchant, tho grocer, the butcher, tho baker, the bank-er, or any other business man. As a . rule tho oflice-seeke- r expects to get something for nothing, and ho generally succeeds. He is puffed in his party paper nearly every day of the campaign, and hot shots are fired at his opponent, yet ho pays thu newspaper nothing for its time, labor, ink and pa-per, all of which cost money. He does pay, however, for brass bands, livery rigs, halls, and for driuks and cigars for his admiring constituency. As a gen-eral thing the newspaper that does moro for his interests than all other things combined! does not even get a thank-you- . Ingratitude is the basest of crimes, nnd the office-seeke- r is guilty of it more frequently than any other man. Wo would like to see tho news-papers throughout tho country adopt the plan of making all candidates for office pay for every line of advertising that they get. The . estate of the late millionaire Davis of Butte, Mont., is liable to be wasted in litigation. The light for tho dead man's millions has already as-sumed an Interesting and complicated phase. One of his brothers in Butte, who started in to get tho administrator-ship of the estate, has discovered an old ,will giving him the entire estate, with the exception of providing for tho two illegitimate children of the deceased. The public administrator of Butte is making a vigorous light to o the handling of the estate. Nu-merous heirs have eomo to the front with their claims. And now two or three womon, in different parts of the country claim to have been married to tho deceased. One of these women lives in Kowanee,- - Wisconsin, and to make matters moro interestiug she claims that she has a marriage certifi-cate, and also a will making her one of the heirs. The will is dated only two years ago, and if it can be proven to be genuine it will knockout the other will. Thinly Clad. Washington Post.

Evansville, Ind., Aug. 16.-- u?( Harrison, a young man well knci about the city, and the son of a weali and prominent manufacturer, handsomely cowhided today by an in mother, and was so promiscuously i up and marked by each blow oil rawhide that he will be absent fror. street for several days. The origin the trouble dates from July 4, when! young man, while out walking ii Miss Nettie Taylor, a young lady whom he had been keeping comp insulted her by an improper propo-an-compelled her to walk home tl from a lonesome part of the city, i girl told a bosom friend and she in tin told the mother, who is a fashion): dressmaker. Mrs. Taylor bought a nice, pu rawhide, and then sent for the yo man, inviting him to call at her v dence. Suspecting nothing, Ham called and Mrs. Taylor asked an nation of his conduct. He madeaco; plete denial and offered to prove W nocence by the daughter. The m ter was calied in from an adjomn room and gave him an awful rwf ment. Realizing his predicament, attempted to bluff them and mm " he had been in such scrapes below that he feared nothing. Then it was that the mother rem for the whip, and the way she m blows iu on the young man's new shoulders was a caution. There wa escape for him out of the door, powerful as he was she had no diBW in ' dealing with him. He grPP whip and said there was a mist?f ' that he could explain things. Snep him the opportunity, but the espi tion was not satisfactory, and e whip from his hand, she him again. The punishment was up until he finally made a break B' door, and pushing past her t& through the hall and down the the irate mother following him w . head of the stairs as he escapea-threatene-to have her arrested, o ; further thought wiser judgment: vailed, and he deemed it better w j the matter drop. The pumsbme received was sufficient to leave ing impression. I He Is a Speculator. Washington Post. "What s your husband doing now?" asked a woman of one of her neighbors. "O, he's speculating." "Speculating! I didn't know he had any capital." "He hasn't. He just sits down and specu- lates about the tariff and the political situation and that sort of thing. As usual Tub Times comes to the front today with a readable and enter-taining Saturday issue. We have had a free ballot nnd a pretty full vote, as county elections go; now give us a fair count, nothing less will do. Greased It One. New York Sun. I had been looking over the battle fields around Marietta. Ga., and was five miles from the town when a crack-er came along with an ox and a cart and offered me a lift. After riding some distance I realized that both wheels were sadly in need of grease, and I asked him why he din't lubricate. "What fur?" "To make the cart draw more easily." "So! This yere ox doan' mind. He 'un doan' know." "But it would stop the squeaking." "Yes, I reckon, but the squeakin' doan' hurt." "It would save your wheels," I final-ly said. t'Sho! This old cawt ain't wuth savin'." "Didn't you evej grease it?" I per- sisted. "Once. A Yankee rode to town with me and bought me a box of stuff." 'lllow did it work?" "Mighty slick, but we dun spread it on hoe cake aud ate it all up in a week." COLORADO NOTES. A fierce storm has just spent its fury in Colorado and crops have been laun-drie- d in a manner to render the effect exceedingly doubtful. Now that Tom Patterson has control of the Rocky Mountain News, John Arkins poses as a man who is politically uusexed. And how the democracy of Colorado does worship John. Hosea Townsend, whose only distinc-tion rests in his adherance to the silver interests of the west, is a candidate for renomination to congress. Hosea is a good fellow as tho term goes, but he can never rise to tho requirements of a congressman. Willie E. Pabor, the poet who feeds the muse on fruit has sold his interest in the Grand Junction Star and will ap-ply his talents to the weekly school of journalism. Willie has found the proper level. A mule should never enter the l trot because he ain't built that way. Tho papors both democratic and re-publican are getting their talons on the Colorado gang which is uuder the leadership of the puissant Peter Breene. Mr. Breene is the gentleman who, by very clever legerdemain, is perpetuat-ing his tenure in the office of state treas-urer, and who expects it to descend to his heirs when the funeral exercises are pronounced.

Count Tolstoi is a bearer of false wit-ness. James Brennan would call him a liar, but that would be impolite. However, James has done it, if not in words, in actions. Mr. Brennan is a Nebraska citizen. On the day beforo yesterday he was a bachelor, and was subject to a debt of $"(). Ho wai garuisheed and would have been obliged to pay had not a happy thought struck him.' The bene-licic-laws of Nebraska provide that tho head of a family shall be exempted from debt to the amount of $:m, or something like that. James was not a head of a family, but ho was enterpris-ing. Whllo tho lawyers were tinkering with his case he withdrew, and shortly after appeared with a marriage license and a girl. The same justice of tha peace before whom the hearing of the other case was set joined tho two iu matrimony, and when the attorney who was trying to best James appeared on the scene it was" to receive a mellow, mocking laugh. Tolstoi says marriago is a bad sort of thing, but this unassuming Nebraskan has shown the fallacy of such an idea. When a man cau save $")(5 by gettiug married ho will come very uear doiug it. Tolstoi may be theoretically right, but when it comes down to tho hard dollars aud sense of the thing, give us the Nebraskan. James Brennan. UU1LD M1UHEH. It may be said that the era of sub-stantial buildings in Salt Lako city is just about setting in. In tho past, it is true, some sightly and pretentious structures were put up, but they were few alid far between. Even in the most active business streets the monot-ony of small buildings is but rarely re-lieved.: It is the slow surrrendorof the old to the now spirit; of tho coma-tose to tho activo state ot life and pul-sation. This is, therefore, the proper time when a word to the wise may not bo amiss, aud Tins Times offers it. Build higher! Wo read every day of plaus and specifications being submitted by architects of three and four story build-ings where there should be solid five and b!x story structures erected Instead. It is neither economy nor public spirit to provide for tho moment only, and anybody who knows anything about the growth and development of western cities once they "get a move on them," as tho expressive phrase is, will readily concede' . that all such building must provo inadequate within a very few years. What then? They must either be pulled down or remain an eye-sor- e forever. As a financial proposition it is clear that modern blocks, with elevators, illumination, water aud other conve-niences will bo iu greater demand and bring better rents than the cheaper con-trivances of old. The uew blood com-ing in from the east, being used to tho best accommodations in office and store rooms will expect to find them here, and should not be disappointed. As a matter of enterprise it will prove the best advertisement wo can put forth. It is the American way of building up great cities. We say again, build higher, All Harmonious. Chicago News. Prof. Gcldwin Smith, the eminent sociologist, does not think that Bellamy has solved the problem of the ideal government. Dr. Smith may assure himself that he is entitled to 'say with the bishop of Southwell, "I feel a feel-ing, which I feel you all feel." Judging from tho inllux of eastern people in this city, we should say that some of our sisters do not pine for a re-count of the census men. Dit. BuitTSELL's congregation in New York presented him with $,'000 upon his parting with them. This will enable him to keep the wolf from the door for some time. Chauncey Will Figure in It. Boston Transcript. The Sunday school teacher has been reading the story of the fall of man. Scholar "You've told us what Adam said, and what Eve said, and what Satan said, but that can't be the whole of it. n hat did Chauncey M. Depew say5" Teacher "Chauucey M. Depew." Scholar "Yes; he always comes into the stories the governor reads in the papers. If you can't tell what Chaun-cey said the story's no good. I've got so's always to look for what bo says and I reckon no story's straight unless he figures in it" A Good Recommendation. Munsey's Weekly, Gazzara Your argument is like a Chicago girl's foot.

Butte brokers are working up a real estate boom to offset Helena which has boomed into a state of awful iusnetude. Anaconda is to have a new school-hous- $23,000 worth of warrants having been recently disposed of for that pur-pose. Butto is infested bv thieves and the policemen are organizing for a crusade. At a recent session of the police court twelve vags were arraigned. The "Jap" and "Stringier Lewis" are to wrestle on the race track iu Butto Sunday afternoon. It will be a plain hippodrome but the suckers will all answer the roll call. The screech of the locomotive will soon be heard in the Holy Land. A railroad is being built from Joppa to to Jerusalem. Palestine will soon .be modernized. As to the New York Central strike, Mr. Depew, who is usually very talk-ative, is as mum as an oyster. He is afraid that if he opens his mouth he will put his foot in it. Second Choice, Life. De Jinks Here's a nice cigar. I picked it out especially for you Merritt-Than- ks. I'd rather take the one you picked out for yourself In Union There is Strength. Kansas City Star. "Jim," said an auditor, as he sat toil-ing through a mandolin solo at the minstrels, "do you know why it is that people who play the mandolin always form clubs and go about in musical droves?" "I do not," said Jim. "Why is it?" "Timidity, my boy, mere timidity," was the reply. People "would kill them if they went about sraglv, and so they club togethor for protection."

OUTCROWTH, Kat Tutman Osgood, In Hnrper's Bazar, Art so forlorn, Sad Brier, because the rose is dead Be comforted : Knowest thou not some future morn Another flower shall crown Instead Thy drooping head? Canst thou relieve That chance alone did so endow Thy random bough? Or shall the steadfast year deceive, And bnd and blossom disavow And fall thee now? Dost not divine Thou art the root of thy fair rose And her sweet shows? Her beauty is not hers, but thine; From thine own life the color flows Wherewith she glows. Take heart and hope Her glory Is the growth of thee So shalt thou see All beauty that Is in her scope, As long as thou thyself shalt ba Thou hast in fee, They did short work with a murdor-ou-s tramp down in Nebraska. One such necktie party in Salt Lake would work a salutary reformation among the footpads in this city. The Times ventures tho prediction that congress will adjourn by the 1st of September.
