A railroad connecting both and controlling a large intermediate local business could be easily built by a syndicate of capitalists. By arrange-ment with one or both of the railways which this cross-roa- d would intersect, or with the new railroad corporation with headquarters at Provo, the coal mines and the iron manufactures would find a home market at Salt Lake City, or an outside market at the east and west as might be desirable It is but a question of time when this com-bination will be effected. The longest pole brings the persimmons and the fruit is now ripe. THE "CENTER STAKE." Mount Nobo marks the center stnke of Zion. From the summit of its bare granite peak, some 13,000 feet above sea level, the eye overlooks, within a circle of one hundred and fifty miles, an area containing to nl1 intents and purposes, the population and the vast material rosoursos of Utah. From its precipitous sides the eastern and west-ern slopes of the Wasatch range are watered; at its north-wester- base tho great lakes which remain as memen-toes of tho vast inland sea whoso water lines are indelibly marked high up on its rocky ribs, glisten in silver beauty. On its eastern side exhaustle s fields of coking coal, with attendant deposits of asphaltum, ozokerite and other miner-als of the bydro-oarbo- u family, crop out In tho canyons cut down as natural highways by huge glaciers and mighty torreuts. On its southern and south-western outlook, mountains of the finest iron ore await tho advent of in-dustrial energy and machinery to sup-ply tho wants of a contineut. North, south and west, untold riches of gold and silver, partially uncovered, invito with free aud generous welcome the combined labor aud capital of the world aud the fertile valleys along the hills running north and south only need the trickling water and the tickling plow to respond in bounteous harvests to farmers, herdsmen and fruitgrowers. Over all bends a cloudless sky and to all coiners a healthful and exhllirating atmosphere. Looking over the prom-ised land of Palestine, which ho was never to enjoy, Moses, from Mount Nebo of old, saw not half so eutrnncing a sight as may be seen from the Nebo at our doors. But, descending to particulars, let us consider tho advantages to this city and to investors of an enterprise which would havo its literal beginning and ending within the very shadow ot Mount Nebo, but which iu its ulti-mate results would increase the general prosperity of the territory. On the oastern slope of the Tintic hills and mineral district a vast body of first class iron ore has boon opened and devel-oped. In quality and quantity good judges have pronounced it equal to the best in the land. To make it available coke in largo quantities and at reason-able cost must be had. And so a benefi-cent Croator has provided an adequate supply within striking distance of the irou deposits. A railway connecting with the said deposit and running south-east through Goshen valley and canyou into Juab valley, touching the white statuary marble and gypsum beds on either sldo of Nephi, forming a junction at the last named place with the Uuion Pacific railroad, then running side by side with the San Pete railway up Salt creek canyon, and crossing the Rio Grande Western railroad at or near Fairvicw, at the head of Huntington canyon, will find an exhaustless field of superior coal for coking and do-mestic purposes. This coal, superior to any brought into this city, could undoubtedly be brought into Salt Lake assuring a good profit at a price not to , jjtrtttcfal. T. IC JONES & CO,, Bankers, s 161 MAIN STREET.

PRESIDENT WOODRUFF'S MANIFESTO Probably.no document issuing. from the head of the Mormon church of re-cent years carries with it the signifi-cance of President Woodruff's mani-festo concerning polygamy, published today. While its language is ad-visory rather than peremptory we the effect will be the same, aod that the institution of plural marriage is abolished in this territory henceforth and lore ver. It would have been better for the Mormon church and for the destiny of Utah had the manifesto been issued at the time the law went into effect, for in that rase it would have saved the priesthood from the accusation of abet-ting and encouraging polygamy in de-fiance of the laws of the Uuited States. Certainly the district court dockets show that the silence so long observed was thus construed by the Mormon people and it gave pith and point also to the charge of open defiance to the authority of the govern-ment in this territory made by the Utah commission and by other officials in connection with that subject. Protest as the church may its loyalty to the government, it could not explain away the fact, so often brought out, that it had never authoratively promulgated the laws of congress relative to polyg-amy and advised a strict and unreserv cd compliance therewith. Most of the conflict iu this territory in ret-ou- t years was due to that odious institution and its covert practice though none but the blind could fail to see how such a con-flict must end. Wo do not expect the professional agitators who havo made polygamy their main stock in trade and tirade will accept President Woodruff's edict in good faith. They would rather pro-tract the contest indefinitely, since it is money iu their pocket, but we believe the counsel of the head of the church will be religiously obeyed by the Saints, and that polygamy as an issuo in Utah politics will quickly die out. The gov-ernment of the United States and the Gentiles of this commonwealth wage no war against belief ot any kiuu, roiyg-am- y is a crime against civilization and had to go. We are today much nearer tho fulfillment of Utah's grand m.ssion and promise than wo were twenty-fou- r hours ago. ''SOME C00D STORIES. Farmeis Coino High. It was a clean case of neglitrenee on the part Of the engineer. He should have whistled at the crossing and slowed up. He did neither, Parmer Boffin driving into market with a load of hay was half way across the tracks when the express struck the wagon. For suddenness it beat electro-cution all hallow. Farmer Boffin and the two horses never knew what struck them, and their remains were collected with difficulty. These facts were laid before Ju'iiis Burnett, solicitor to tho railroad, and ho.iid in his pleasant wav: "Fair-Boffi-will cost about $5,000 more t an ho was worm if the case goes to cot.. .. We must settle with the widow at once." So Mr. Burnett adjusted his clerical white tie a hit of dress he was most particular about in his negotiations with widows and took the first train for Moon's Rest. It was a hot and dusty walk to theBollin farm, but when he clasped Mrs. Boffin's hand and mur-mured a few words of apologetic sym-pathy the attorney was the cooler of the two. Then he licgan: "The Atlanta & Northwestern Railroad company have sent me, madam, to offer their deepsst sympathy. No accidont that has ever happened on our line has been so deeply regretted, I assure you, madan, and- - " Them horses was wuth a plum $i00," broke in the widow, rubbing her eyes with tho corner of her apron. "Joshua wouldn't take less, he tol' Zeph Hanks las' Aprile." "As I was saying, madam," contin euod Mr.. Burnett, "our company is deoply gsieved Mr. Boffin was a " "An' the wagons'skiudlin' wood," in-terrupted Mr. Boffin reliet. That's precisely what I came to see you about," said the attorney changing his course to catch the wind. "In an hour like this, when the heart is bowed down, a little ready money is olten very desirable, aud I see you are a woman who believes in doing business inabusi-siness-iik- e manner. Now those horses, Mrs. Boffin, I feel sure our company would like to replace them. It can e done for $U0; can't it? Say, one fifty?' "Two hundred dollars won't buy them horses' equals," said Mrs. Boffin "Then wo will pay $SO0 for the horses," cheerfully assented tha lawyer. "Now for the wagon we are prepared to be liberal, Mrs. Boffin; we know what it is to lose a wagon in this heart-rending way shall we say twenty-liv- e for the wagon ? " Airs. Boffin nodded her head and murmured, "It's nothin' but kindlin' wol," adding sharply: "You've for-gotten the hay and the harness they uiu't no good to me now an' that har-ness war nearly new." "Certainly,' Mrs. Boffin," the lawyer said. "I was coming to that fifteen dollars ought to cover that yon regard as satisfactory, of course. Let's see $235 and fifteen dollars is $240. And now, madam, as to that excellent hus-band of yours, it is my melancholy duty," bore he paused, and Mrs. Boffin took up the parable with: "Joshua was a powerful worker nigh on twenty year ho ran this farm and hired men's so wuthless." "Precisely, Mrs. Boffin. Let's sav ten dollars for Mr. Boffin, and I'll draw you a check right new for $2E0." And a check of that size went Into Mrs. Boffin's bank account that very-day- .

Immense swarms of grasshoppers have Invaded parts of tho country of Algeria and are spoiling lots of things. Two thousand soldiers, nidea by 12,000 Arabs, havo been employed to fight the pest. The roadways present the appearance of a battlefield, and extraordinary efforts are being made to rid the surrounding conntry of thiB insect enemy. This is not the first time that this plague has devastated Algeria. In 1845 the harvests of almost the entire country were destroyed by grasshoppers. From 1747 to 1749 these insects dosolated Al-geria, extending their ravages even to parts of Europe. Millions on millions of the dead bodies of these insects are covering at present the great roadway leading from Mascara to Mostaganim, and filling the Bprings and rivers. The task of killing these masses of grasshoppers is no small one. Imagine a district of 100 miles in cir-cumference which not long ago was covered with wheat, tobacco and fig and olivo trees, but now is so densely cov-ered with grasshoppers that not a single green branch or leaf can bo seen. For three yeaw a distinguished Parisian naturalist, M. Kunkel, has been study-ing how to exterminate these creatures. The best plan seems to be that of stamp-ing the moving, quivering heaps with the bare feet. Shovels and other sharp instruments aro used, but it has been noticod that the elastic layers of grass-hoppers tend to rebound after pressure and only tho layers on top are crushed. Large fires have also been lighted, but the dense smoke arising from the flames is only partly effective in preventing tho descent of these all devouring swarms. New York Sun. Kennedy's speech stands expunged, but not so Kennedy. President IIaumson has returned to Washington too late. The circus is over. Dubois or not Dubois is now the war cry in Idaho. It is no longer a fight between republicans and democrats. The latter are out. Boucicaclt's worst legacy are two widows who now propose to open a fierce war for the possession of his es-tate. Some new Boucicault . might dramatize the war. The anti-lotter- y bill will prove a windfall to the express companies. They have taken the job which Uncle Sara has thrown up, and the Louisiana concern will continue business at the old 6tand. UTAH IN CHICAGO. Wo hope when the Columbian expo-sition opens in Chicago this territory will occupy a place worthy of its posi-tion and resources. It is unfortunate in the start iu having for one of its com inissioners a small politician, when among the hundreds of our live and en-terprising business men one might have been selected who in his person em-bodies the push, the courage, the ability and the energy of the present Utah. Still, Major Kiesel is such a man, and with his aid we can afford to suffer tho vacancy in the other commissionership. No time should bo lost henceforward to organize the territory thoroughly and to systematize tho work so that our dis-play, when it is made, be full, varied and representative). This should be a matter of pride and patriotism as well as a matter of advertisement and busi-ness. Wo will never have another such chanco within our life time to show to tho world the yield of our valleys and mountains and rivers and lakes, and wo should make the most of it. It will The Slavin-McAuliff- o fight is prom-ised to come off after all though a little late, and the gambler is again rampant. If betting must be a feature of a slug-ging match, the safest way is to let some other fellow indulge iu it. The proposed dontal law has stirred up a veritable hornets nest, aud it may aid the city council in Its conclusions to read the communications sent to The Times on both sides of tho subject. We publish an objector's views in this issuo. The Times is for fair play. Hunker Von Handler's TrlnL Herr Alfred Von Handler, whose trial for fraud hascommencod before a Vienna jury, was the head of an old banking house founded In 1790, which failed in November last with liabilities amounting to upward of 2,500,000 florins. The prisoner, who was arrested a week after this event, is charged with appropriating to his own use deposits of private per-sons or firms amonnting to nearly 3,000,-00- 0 florins. It appears that the accused, who was of extravagant habits, began to tamper with the deposits in 1881. Among the persons defrauded is the head waiter at the hotel where Kendler used to dine, and who had given up the whole of his savings, amounting to over 23,000 florins. The accused, who is a man of 60 years of age, when naked by the president of the court whother he pleadod guilty, that the facts stated in the indict-ment were, generally speaking, correct; but that, as he firmly believed and hoped he would be ablo to replace the borrowed money, he did not feel guilty. The trial is the topio of general conversation in Vienna society. Cor. London Standard. It has been said that tho average American business man is so absorbed in his daily routine that his riBion be-comes narrow, and he is unable to ex-press himself intelligently on any sub-ject. The speeches made in the federal court room last night at the chamber of commerce meeting show tho fallacy of this statoment, so far at least as Salt Lake City is concerned. Our busiuoss men scan a wldo horizon with a clear eye and intellect. They know what they want, and knowing it express themsolvas tersoly and vigorously. That is more telling than sounding elo-- , quence. Wb asked to know several things of the Tribune yesterday but no reply was Touchsavcd us. It is just as well. When a paper has been suffered to bulldoze and bullrag tho victims of its wrath for years and then finds itself suddenly cut short in its mad career its chagrin may be better expressed in silence than in words. When a paper finds its patron-age and iufluenco vanish before a news-paper not handicapped by senility and projudico if is perhaps belter policy to ignore it than to advertise it. Tho Tribune knows its sore spots best, but for all that its course in the matter brought to its notice yesterday is venal and cowardly. Bah! The Tribune has had its day. Vale, Tribune. Preferred a Small Audience. Iu the spring of 1678 the common council of Chicago issued an order fur an election for city officers under the new city charter, which order contained uo reference to the office of mayor. There was Rieat dissatisfaction with Mayor Colvin, who was holding over, and a mass meeting wns called at the Exposition Building, which was adver-tised to be addressed by many promin- ent citizens, including "the two eminent attorneys, both sincodocensed, Leonard Sweet and Emery A. Storrs. The former delivered a stirring speech in favor of nominating candidate for mayor, but the latter, who doubted the legality of tho proposed election, and whose judgment the courts subse-quently sustained, did not put iu an appearance. The next morning the two gentlemen met in the street. "Storrs, said Sweot, with one of his well remembered frowns, "whv didn't you come around last nighty it was a great meeting; fully 30,000 were thero." "Sweet," replied the little lawyer, lowering his voice and assuming a tone at once impressive and confidential, "when I definitely determine that I've got to make an ass of myself, I select as quiet a place and as small an audi-ence as I can rind-- Treasures In the Passala Klver. A few days ago "Bert" Lyons and a dozen other boys were diving in about ten feet of water in the Passaio river near Belleville, N. J., in rivalry as to which of them should bring up the most shells from the muddy bottom. When it was young Lyons' turn to plunge ho remained so long under the water that his companions began to fear that ho had gone down to stay, or else was gath-ering so many shells that the contest would be virtually over when he reap-peared. He came up at laRt, however, without any shells, but holding aloft tri-umphantly, for the contemplation of his envious friends, a solid silver double case Waltham watch and chain that he had fished out of the depths. Tho watch had stopped at 7:20 o'clock, but the proud finder has ascertained that it will morrily resume work when the water has been pumped out of it and its in-ternal organization has been soaked for ton days in oil. New York Tribune. Now that the laud speculators have subsided and tho site for the World's Fair is selected, up bobs tho politiciau and threatens to knock the fair clear into the twentieth century, if he is not duly recognized. The average citizen will wonder what politics has to do with an industrial and international exhibi-bitio-but the average citizen has had little to do but to wonder so far at the dark and dubious way in which tho Chicago aggregation is being managed. One thing is certain: If politics is to be dragged into the scheme, it may as well be abandoned at once. We have a few other industries in this country besides politics, and it is ridiculous to give the latter a monopoly on the earth. Old Hats. The man who was hurrying into the hatters recently was on bnsiness. He wanted his old hat "When did you leave it here?" "I dunno," was the re-ply. They hunted over a great pyramid of hats and found it, labeled July 2.
