They harbor no against the "honest in heart" of their Mormon neighbors, and will gladly with them upon the high ground of loyalty to the re-public and devotion td the best interests of Utah. THE MISTAKE OF KATE FIELD; Kate Field, the irrepressible and piquant "I," in her "Washington" .of tho 15th instant, says: "I would take Givernor Thomas' word and that of the Utah Commission 'for a thousand pounds.' I would not believe Wilford Woodruff and his twelve apostles under bath." They' (press and pub-lie- ) "at once assume that honest Gov-ernor Thomas and the Utah Commis-sion are liars and proclaim to the world that polygamy is abolished." But, on sober second thought, the govornorsays over the wires to the Now York Inde-pendent: "If the action taken by tho Mormons was not taken in good faith, still the result, so far as polygamy is concerned, is the same. It has been burie'd, never to be resurrected." Fur-ther, the governor says: "The Gen-tiles rejoico that the contest begun so many years ago against polygamy has finally triumphed: for they belieVe that never again will polygamy flourish ou American soil; that it is. practically speaking, finally repressed." - These truthful words of the governor will cause Kate Field, the ever true and faithful friend of Utah, to put on her thinking cap, and in the seclusion of her sanctum, her speaking face will be a study., "Et tu Brute!" will find ex-pression in lip and eye. if hot in so many words. And yot no one will re-joice more than Kato Field to know and feel that the accursed system has re-ceived its death blow. That it is a great point gained her womanly heart and logical mind will have to admit. She will be quick to understand that travel, business and social intercourse, increasing with the passing days, ma-terial interest and constantly increasing friction of mind with mind, are rapidly wearing away the barriers which have divided the more Intelligent portion of the opposing parties In Utah. Life is too short to engage in substance fighting and shadow from the cradle to the grave. Those who, in Utah, have labored through tho long and dreary polygamous night are quick to see the signs of coming day, and seek no flimsy THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By T. A. DAVIH.

Caine, renominated by the Mormon church to- represent its interests in congress, has written a let-ter of acceptance, which is notable mainly for its length and its abuse of the Liberal party. Indeed, were the letter not signed as it is we should take it to be an editorial lifted from the official church organ for campaign dis-tribution. It contains "the old stock phrases and the old lies in about the same old mixture. "What is now agi-tating our fair territory in a political way is the same question that was in-troduced by our opponents when the d Liberal party was born the craving of the minority to rule over the majority," cries Mr. Caine. It is shock-ing to contemplate this insatiate crav-ing. We don't know just how the nomination of a Liberal candidate can establish the rule of a minority over the majority, but there is certainly no mis-take regarding the craving part. Mr. Caine running as he does for tho fifth term in congress ought to know some-thing about the craving for office, which is irrcprcssiblo in him. It is astonishing what a consumma-tion of total depravity tho Liberal party is, according to Caine. Ha calls it reckl-ess, revolutionary, and in half a sentence. That is a crushing argument, especially the last epithet. We wish he had inserted right there a diagram of himself so as to give an anxious world a specimen of the typical American. But Mr. Caine calls the Liberals other euphonious names, ' such as traitors-trai- tors dark and nefarious whose rec-ord is "honeycombed with fraud, dis-honesty .ov extravagance amounting almost to orime, in some instances all three of these." It is heinous, this reoord is, and yould be even worse than that had the, scolding delegate vouchsafed us a bill of particulars to support his charges., Of course the church clique stands in sublime contrast to the wicked Liberal party, being the embodiment of "loy-alty for the principles of our govern-ment and love for all mankind." Pa-thetic, isn't it? How the candidate must have laughed in his sleeve when he penned that sentiment! So that is the issue, Mr. Cainef Loy-alty against Troason; eh? But isn't your position a little mixed? Wo fear it is. All the same we admire the su-preme audacity, vulgarly called cheek, you possess. Oue word more, Mr. Caine. You say to be selected for the fifth consecu-tive time is au honor, etc So it is, But why don't you breathe just a sylla-ble to inform a waiting constituency what you have done during all those terms to deserve the honor? NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME- - There is no time like the old time, when yon and 1 were you rip. When the buds of April Mowmed and tho birds of springtime Bung. The m irden's brightest glories by summer sun are nursed But, oh, the sweet, sweet vlolota, tii flow-that opene i first! '" There is no plies like the old place, where j-and I were born, Wheie we lifted t our eyell Is on the splen-dors of the morn. From the milk-whit- e breast that warmed uh, - from the cilnglng arms that bore. Where the dear eyes glistened o'er us that will ,. ; look on ns no more. There Is no friend like the old friend, who has shared our morning diyj, Na greeting II ke his welcome, no h mage like bis praise. ' ' Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold,.' : But friendship is the breathing rose, wit: sweets' in every fold. There Is no tove like the old love, that vc courted lu our price;. Though our leaves a:e falling, falling, anil ' we're fading side by side, There nrs blossom s.a'.l around us, with the colors of our dawn, And we live In borrowed sunshine when ou. day-sta- r is withdrawn. There are no times li'ie the old times they shall never be forgot; There are no times like the old times they shall never be forgot; There is no place like the old place keep green the dear old i pot I There are no frtends like our old Mends may heaven prolong their lives There are no loves llko our old loves God bless our lovin r wives. ' '.' Oliver Wendell Holme. Conflicting reports regarding the prospects' of an extra session of congress come from Washington but the opinion of an old time politician expressed in the New York Sun, that the whole mat-ter depends on the way the cat jumps in the November election is probably correct. "If," says he, . "republicans retain control of the lower bouse there will be no necessity for an extra session.' But if. it becomes apparent that the democrats will have a majority in the next house, I believe the extra session will be called. Every day that can pos-sibly be used for legislative purposes right up to the 4th of March will be re-quired to put through the many and various party measures which the re-publicans will want to place upon the statute books while they still control all the branches of the federal government. Besides the Lodge bill, there is tbo re-appointment bill, the steamship subsidy bill, the shipping bill, and many other things which would not be so pressing if the republicans felt sure of securing the next house. The regular appro-priation bills will occupy a good portion of the regular short session, so you see the demand there will be upon all avail-abl- o time between Nov. 6 and March 4, if the republicans lose the day. "There is one other reason," he con-tinued, "why there should be a demand among members for an extra session, and that is the fact that each one of them would be entitled to double mile-age This item of mileage to the ma-jority of members is a considerable one. They would get ten cents a mile for coming to the extra session, and, with-out any further traveling, they would receive the same amount at the begin-ning of the regular session. This double mileage would amount to a good many hundred dollars to, nearly every one of the members, and , to the. far western it would run up into the thous-ands for each man all olear gain. If the republicans fail to win in ' tho com-ing elections you may expect to see tho demands for au extra session sud-denly become very vigorous indeed, and this talk which now comes in a spasmodic fashion will then resolve 'f into an organized coercion of the president."

When Han-Io- n beat Courtney in the race on the Potomac in Washington about twelve yeurs ago, O'Connor belittled the' vic-tor, claiming that Courtney was in poor condition, and that anybody 'could beat Hanlan. Immediately a race between the Canadian champion and O'Connor was arranged, the former expressing his contempt for tho prowess of the brag but a desire at the same timo to shut his mouth. The race came off and O'Connor might as well not have been in it, so ingloriously was he left behind, but it seems he still continues to blow. A CHANGK IN THE TIMES. Up to this date The Times was tho sole property of T. A. Davis. Here-after, or rather as soon as the change can be effected, which will bo duly an-nounced in those columns, the owner-ship will vest in The Times Publishing Company in which T. A. Davis will still retain an interest. The company will incorporate for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the stock to be assessable so as to permit of -- any improvement or enlargement that may be deemed advisable in order to make The Times the foremost paper in this n region. A board of seven directors will have oharge of the management as soon as the formal transfer shall be made. The following is the list of stockholders: Fbank Tierce. ; E. B. Critchlow. , M. K.

A FEW QUESTIONS. Isn't It a penny-wiso- , pound-foolis- h policy for individuals who are fortunato enough to have their real estate quad-rupled iu value within the last two years, to kick at one-hal- f of one per cent special school tax on the increased valuation? Will tho money spent in the proposed litigation redound to the credit of the city or of the compara-tively few who in hot haste lead off in opposition? Is tho now oard of edu-cation, already crippled by the with-holding of collections, to bo handi-capped and hampered by vexatious de-lays and lawBuits and effectually barred from making the city schools what it was promised they should be in the campaign preceding the election? Would it prove an unmitigated evil if the treasury of the said board should show surplus over current expenses rather than a vacuum? Is it not rather early iu the day to recommend the board of education to issue bonds and borrow money, when territorial and city bonds go a bogging at fair rates of interest? Granted that there is some inequality in the various rates of spec-ial school tax imposed by the twenty-tw- o districts now consolidated into one; would it not be better to trust to the discretion of the intelligent gentlemen composing the board of education and fairly representing all the people of this city, to care for and expend the money collected on those varied taxes than to throw away good money in contesting them? It would seem that publio spir-ited citizens could have but one answer to these questions and would rather contribute to the support of our city schools than to au unseemly wrangle in the courts. France might follow the magnani-mous example of General Grant in his treatment of General Lee after the sur-render at Appomotix and join in the homage to be paid by all Europe next Sunday to Field Marshal Moltke anent his nintieth birthday. A great nation can well afford to do honor to lofty genius even if that genius was display-ed at her cost. Austria and Denmark, both conquered by Moltke's armies, will participate in the celebration. Prohibition is beset with disappoint-ments. The last one comes in the shape of two nearly concurrent decisions of the United States circuit court at Topeka, and the supreme court at Cedar Rapids, which restore the origi-nal package saloon in Kansas and Iowa to its former degree of prosperity. The basement still will meet a lively compe--. tition. : ,; Jas. H. Bagon, projector of the Deep Creek railroad, gave a bond as treas-urer of the Bear River Land Company for oue million dollars with sureties worth at least three times that amount. That shows the backing and standing in finauoial circles he has. A man of Bacon's grit, enterprise and solidity is a host within himself and a powerful accession to any city. " ' i , - r Pass tho Deep Creek ordinance to- - night. ,.. Ix is said the White House in Wash-ington is a fire trap. Were it not for the historical interest associated with the executive mansion it might be just as well, to., let the trap spring. The presidents of the United States deserve better accommodations.

Atchison Globe.. It is very pathetic indeed the sym-pathy expressed by Lord Granville for ' America on account of our new tariff, but coming from that source we accept it with a generous allowance of sus-picion. We rather think it is chagrin. Considering the coal famine which threatens Salt Lake, the prospect of a l strike in the Rock Springs mines is not reassuring.
