Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21890. 4 . CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME. The Stirring Career of Boyle O'Reilly, Recently Deceased. Tlifl recent announcement of the death of John Boyle O'Reilly, of Boston, m donbiedly brought sorrow to many hearts, for Mr. O'Reilly, although com-paratively young he was 46 years old-- had made his mark as a poet and literary man, besides having attempted inuch along the lines of political agitation. He was a native of County Meath, Ireland, received a good education, and while still a lad joined a British regiment in order to secure a knowledge of military affairs. He meanwhile kept up communica-tion with the Irish revolutionary lead-- its, and as a re-sult he was ar-rested for high treason, and in 1808 sentenced to twenty years' pe-n- il servitude at the West Austra-lian convict colo-l- y. "Hardly a ;welvemonth 1 a-- r he escaped, rat to sea in an pen boat, and JOHN boyle o'RKILLY. after many ad-ventures reached the United States. He began work on The Boston Pilot, the pa-per with which he was connected at the tiino of his death. ' His literary career, therefore, dates from his arrival in America. He first attracted attention by his original and powerful ballads of Aus-tralian life. The "Amber Whale," "Dnkite Snake," "Dog Guard," "Mon-ster Diamond," "King of the Vasse" and others following in quick succession Bhowed to the world of readers that a new and virile singer had corno to be heard. Of his later efforts one of the best is undoubtedly the poem on Plym-outh rock and the. Puritans. A short ex-tract shows its strength and beauty: Hero, on this rock and on this sterile soil, Began the kingdom not of kings, but men; Began the making of the world again. Here centuries sank, and from the hither brink A new world reached and raised an old world link, When English hands, by wider vision taught, Threw down the feudal bars tbe Normans brought, And here revived, In spite of sword and stake, Their ancient freedom of the Wapentake! Here struck the seed the Pilgrim's roofloss town, Where equal rights and equul bonds were set, Where all tbe people equal fmnchised met; Where doom was writ of privilege aud crown; Where human breath blew all the Idols down; Where crests were naught, where vulture flags . were furled. And common men began to own the worldl THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By T. A.

James Whitcomb Riley. RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION. The testimony presented before the Interstate Commerce commission is practically the same as that offered in other cities discriminated against as ours is. It is the old fight between long hauls and short hauls with certain local deviations. Nevertheless it is a fair fight which our business men are making, and one that the commission cannot help deciding otherwise than in our favor. There is assuredly no rea-son why the rate from a given point east to Salt Lake city should be more than fifty fer cent higher than the rate on the same shipment to San Francisco, which is nine hundred miles beyond. The excuse made by the railroads that in freighting goods from Boston or near Boston to San Francisco they havo to meet the competition of the water route on ono side and the Northern Pa-cific railroad on the other is not mate-rial. The railroads would not care for the business from coast to coast if it did not pay them, and it certainly en-tails no additional expense of fifty, or any othor, per cent to lay consignments dowu nino hundred miles this sido of their termini. Neither is the discrimination practiced in shipments from Council Bluffs to San Francisco explained on this theory. The fact is the railroads are too fond of building up one city at the expense of another, and woe to the one that has no alternative but to submit to the im-position. Unless, restrained by law the commerce we are justly entitled to com-mand will bo wrenched from our hands simply because San Francisco can com-pete with us in our own markets ami in the territory naturally tributary to ns since the railroads impose upon us a tax that our competitor does not bear.-I-Is n discrimination ns unjust as H is fatal aud t ho light of our merchants is one for . , TIIK HANDV ItKVOI.VKlt. Without desiring to prejudice public opinion against a man who will soon enough bo on trial for his life, we wish to take the shooting of Locket by Snel-so- n ns a text for a sermon against the habitual carrying of firearms. To a reporter of Tun Tnn:s Snelson said: "I never havo a difficulty with any one ns for that, because it takes all my time to look after my wife and family." The question naturally suggests itself, what does a man who has no difficulty with any one want to carry a in broad dny light for? However bold and dangerous the midnight prowler may bo, tho pcaceful citizen is not held up at midday us a general thing in this city; and if all that Snelson says about tho assault on him by Locket be true, even thon tho retaliation with murder is not justifiable. ' Tho fact is the man who arms himself with a revolver during tho busy hours of t he day Is willing to use it at the first to his mind sufficient provocation, or ho wouldn't carry it, and the result is generally disastrous aliko to him and his victim. On the other hand tho ab-sence of a revolver has saved many a hothead from eternal disgrace, and punishment. We are not aware that tho average citizen who goes about his business without a mineature Galling gun in his hip pocket Is in constant peril of hislifo. Laws against the bearing of concealed weapons avail nothing because they cannot be enforced, but a healthy public opinion should frown down as a bully and bruto any one who habitually carries them.

A !Ie-a- Woman. One of tho most contemptible persons In Now York is the woman who is seen daily in Madison or Union square park, and who evades tho law which forbids dogs being permitted to run at large. She ties her doj to a ropo long enougii to do duty as a clothes line for a good sized family wash. When tho policeman is at the other end of the park she "pays out" Tope until the dog can reach the flower beds, where he enjoys himself to his heart's content in scratching at the roots of tho flowers nlantod at the expense of the taxpayers for tho delectation of vis-itors to the squares. When she sees tho policeman coming toward her, this most Bathetic woman hauls in slack till tho cur in pulled on the walk. I am certain that even Zury, the meanest man in Spring county, would be envious of the superfine meanness of this well dressed and evidently well fed Now York woman. Epoch. Sr.AviN and McAnlifl'e will now have a chance to fiut it out in the police courts. ; This is fair weather and we hope it will ho Fair weather also. It will help toward its success next month. Will the city council toniffht do something to avert tho slaughter of tho innocents at railway crossings? The Park City News is a new weekly publication which, judging from its ini-tial number, gives promise of success. Two Candidates for Governor. Hon. Eugene Henry Belden, who has been placed in nomination for governor by the new In-dustrial party M Michigan, was born fifty years ago on a farm in Hanover, eight miles from Jack-son, Mich., and educated at the Michigan Central college.of Spring- - port. In 1880, while a member H0N- - E' H- - BELDEI'' of the legislature, he was made chair-man of the committee on roads and bridges and had charge of the revision of the highway laws. He has accepted his nomination and an-nounces that his canvass will be a vigorous one. He says: "The outlook for my election is good, as the far-mers are in the last ditch and want a change. If successful I shall reduce state expenses from one end of the line to the other." Mr. Belden is at )r8ent a hard- - HON. w. j. northenv ware merchant in Jaokson, An-other recent gubernational nominee is flon, W. J. Northen, who was chosen by acclamation the standard bearer of the Democrats of Georgia. Mr. Northen is a man of accomplishments and wealth, somewhat past the prime of life, but still vigorous and able to endure the fatigues of a campaign. Parliament Houses Crumbling. The British parliament houses are crumbling to pieces so fast that there is constant danger of some portion of the buildings toppling down on the mem-bers. Purjs of tho front of St. Stephen's have had to be entirely refaced because of the wearing away of the soft stone. Only a week or two ago a heavy piece of a stone heraldic animal suddenly fell close to the entrance to Westminster hall in Old Palace yard a means of en-trance to the house which is largely favored. But a few days before a por-tion of the ornamental stonework fell close to tho members' entrance itself, and another heavy piece fell on the pave-ment of New Palace yard not a month ago. Chicago Tribune. TiiuitE is after all, ho friendship so deep and so lasting as that cemented on the batilo field. The hearty welcome extended by tho G. A. R. to their official head last night boro out this fact anew. SlTl'KRINTKNDENT J. J. DlCKEY of the Western Union Telegraph company is in the city. While here he might well supesintend several improvements the office needs. It is not now ndequato to the demands of a city like Sail Lake. Very properly the statuo of Horace Greoly unveiled on Saturday stands in front of the New York Tribune build-ing, "(freely was a philanthropist and politician, but above all things he was a great journalist and the Tribune is his chief monument. ., ., --j ; Caught t p by the Locomotive Pilot. Judge Sterling Watts, one of the most prominent citizens of Tazewell county, Va., had a most miraculous escape from a terrible deuth a few days ago. He was riding a very wild young horse near the dopot whou the train came in sight. This so frightened tho horse that he be-came frantic and jumped before the ad-vancing engine, and was caught up on the pilot and carried some seventy-fiv- e yards before the engine could be stopped. Judge Watts was unhurt, but the two hind legs of the horse were broken and he had to be shot. Richmond Dispatch. The Timks is in a position to say that the rumors which for several days have filled tho air concerning a deal in which ' the Santa Fe railroad is said to havo swallowed up tho Kio Grando Western and sundry other lines, aro either pre-- . maturo or wholly unfounded. The lat-ter is probably the case. The congressman who introduced a bill yesterday making absence from tho proceedings of the house for the pur- - pose of breaking tho quorum punishable with a lino of $500 was neither original nor smart. Catching a bird by putting salt on its tail Is a good recipe, but you have to catch your bird first. The decision of tho republican caucus to go ahead with the contested election case dow pending before the house at all hazards is a very valorous one, but thero is a serious hitch to it. Unless the republicans drum up a quorum the democrats do not seem to bo inclined to facilitate the caucus programruo and lot thorn go ahead. What then? . Professor Henry Drummond has gono pn a voyage to Australia, and will de-vote the time he is absent to preparing a work dealing with Christianity in the light of evolution. It will be a sort of sequel to his "Natural Law in the Spir-itual World." and will bo published in the autumn. A Bostonian just returned from Lon-don says that he was attracted by a large crowd one day, and on investigation found that the people were waiting to see the man expected to enter a railway carriage marked, "Reserved for Presi-dent Ames of America." A DENTISTRY LAW. The city council has before it a h may be acted upon tonight, rog, ulating tho practice of dentistry. We have not read the bill and cannot there-fore judge of its provisions; but n grievance committee of two called on The Times and explained the purport to be tho practical exclusion from prac-tice of all dentists who have not lived in Salt Lake city at least one year or practiced their profession for at least eight years. We suspect tho grievance committee failed to state the whole case, and it is probable that the term of eight years applies only to those dentists who have no diploma from any school of dentistry, just as the medical. ordinance passed two weeks ago exempts physi-cians who have practiced medicine in this city for lifteen years from exami-nation before tho board though they may not have any diploma. If this be tho case wo consider the bill a go"d one, since it is just as important that it dentist should know soniethiug about surgery and aniosthetics as that he be a good mechanic, and to acquire this knowledge ho must have either experi-ence or schooling, or both. To judge of the character of tho grievance or the aggrieved, we print, for tho guidance of the council, verbatim', a memorandum left with The Times for its bettor infor-mation: A Skeme Unenrthed for Our City Fathers - to Look Into. A Bill la to be introduced into the council at their next sit tint? to reflate the nractioe of dentistry. This bill would be a good thing were it not that all the old Moss Backs, who have been practicing dentistry for years In t)ie city and robblnn the people by charglutc out-rageous prices for their work, are behind 1 They "have written and debated among them-selves to the exclusion ot all dentists who have located in S. L. inside the piRt year, a bill ex-actly to suit themselves, and to drive out all new coiners who He likely to cut U on their practices sud prices, or in sh irt they wish to continue to rob the people In the future satno ns in the past. It would be wise for our city fathers to look well into this little skeme fur the good of this community or the pet pies welfare is likely to surfer. It is strange that mechanical skill (Dentistry) should be tree limes as expensive in Salt L. as lu other cltyes. i its size. Do they object to competition? J. Leverett Story, of Essex, has a Bald-win apple tree which presents a curious freak of nature. One-ha- lf of the tree is iu full bloom, the line being drawn ex-actly through the center of the tree, and the other half showing not a blossom. ' A Human Phenomenon. M.ie Quatrefages, a French natural-ist, recently examined one of the most remarkable human curiositie.'ver seen. The man, Simon Aiquier by name, is a Provencal 80 years of age. Aiquier, thanks to his peculiar system of muscles and nerves, can transform himself in most wondrous fashion. He has very properly dubbed himself "L'Homme Protee." At one moment assuming the rigidity of a statue, his body may be struck sharply, the blows falling as on block of stouo. At another he moves his intestines from above and below and right to left into the form of a large foot ball, and projects it forward, which gives him the appearance of a colossally stout per-sonage. He then withdraws it into the thorax, opening like a cave, aud the hol-low look of his body immediately re-minds une of a skeleton. Aiquier suc-cessfully imitates a man subjected to the tortures of tho rack, as also a man hang-ing himself, and assumes a cadaverous look. What most astonished M. de Quatrefages was tho stoppage of the cir-culation of the blood, now on the left and now on tho right sido, which was effected by muscular contraction. Cattle Dying. Vandalia, 111., Sept. 23. Cattle are dying in Pope township, Favette county, of a strange disease. The fatality 'is much greater among the calves. They are affected by a stiffening of the joints, lose all control of their musu.es and f-inally die. Stephen Mat ienv, a largrt cattle raiser, lias lost ov( r twenty head, and other farmers in that, vicinity are similarly unfortunate. General Spinwek whose unique sig-nature as U. S. treasurer once graced tho "greenbacks" is weary of life. After the turmoil of war and peace, and the passage of nearly ninety summers his spirit is anxious to take ' its flight from an afflicted body. His letter to a friend is a pathetic illustration of the old song, "what can an old man do but die?" . .Cch Park City correspondent yester-reporte- d the forty-thir- dividend -ri Mie Daly and the 172nd dividend on Cv- - Ontario mining stocks,, payable C'.i Oho 30th iust. This makes tho total of the Daly dividends $1,050,000, and the total of the Ontario's $11,300,000. These figures are eloquent reminders of tho wealth that lies hidden in the bowels of our mountains. An Earthquake Barometer. The famous "Sinking Mountain," of Georgia, has been discovered to be a first class earthquako barometer. It sinks gradually all the time, but makes its greatest downward progress when earthquakes are rocking some other part of tho globe. A few years ago, during the great seismic disturbance in Jt.va, the mountain was lowered ten feet e believe the streot car .strike is practically over and tho strikers are beaten. While trallic is not yet re-stored to its normal condition the pros-pects are that it soon will be. Mean-time tho company has lost a great deal of money by the partial suspension of its service and tho pooplo havo suffered no end of inconvenience and expense. It seems to us tho difficulty might have been adjusted without tho disagreeablo results to all the three parties involved. AVE are glad to know that tho policy first introduced by (ienoral Sheridan is being adhered to by his successor and that instead of wasting money on a number of one company posts a few largo garrisons are being Improved and enlarged for tho Concentration of largo bodies of troops there. The day of small frontier stations is passing away with tho hostile Indian, and since the railroads are penetrating what was once known as our frontier the sconce of any conflict can be better reached and with a larger contingent from ono central railroad point thau from a num-ber of isolated places.
