"' Our Telephone Number, 481. while Prof. Briggs is of great conse-quence because of bis learning, his" place as a teacher of theology, and the leadership which he Undoubtedly pos-sesses. Very many of the Presbyterian ministers received their theological under his potent influence, and they look up to him with venera-tion. His views are impressed on their minds, and, therefore, must affect the result reached in the revision demand-ed by the majority of the Presbyterians. No other man has had a larger part in influencing contemporary Presbyterian thought and conviction. . Among the awful clash of arms' thus precipitated by the combative journal-ist to prevent the spread of falsa doc-trines, we learn with amazement that he was yesterday convicted of lying, and, in consequence, suspended from the Union League club for ten days, Indeed the telegraph says that but for his eloquent apologies the warlike colo-nel would have been expelled alto-gether. His offence is doscribed as a compound one. He was arraigned for putting in his paper an untrue state-ment that Thomas B. Miisgrave, a well known Wall street operator, had been expelled from the club. He was also charged with unclublike conduct, in printing the names of three members, Messrs. Lewis, Knowlton and Barnes, who were behind in their dues to the club. . ' Thus Col. Sbepard manages to dorive considerable excitement from his double-barrelle- d newspaper if noth'ng else. A millionaire can afford to do sundry things that an ordinary mortal would consider foolish. A BEI.IOERRNT JOURNALIST. Colonel Shepard is a New York mill-ionair- e and the father-in-la- of Chaun-ce- y M. Depew. He is likewise an am-bitious gentlemau and would not be sat-isfied with the reflected light shed upon him by his distinguished son So in an evil hour he bought himself a news-paper known by the hyphemaed title of Mail-Expres- which is chiefly notodfor the scripture lessons it bears on its masthead. The colonel is a mighty warrior bufore the lord and conse-quently in hot water all the time. Just at present he is engaged in a life and death struggle to drive Prof. Briggs from the faculty of the Union Theologi-cal seminary as a pestilent heretic. The particular heresy' which Prof. Briggs is In the eyes of Col. Shepard guilty of consists in teaching base doc-trines regarding the bible, but as a careful observer of the conflict cruelly remarks. Col. Shopard is of no account in the church except as a rich man. THE HOTEL HORROB, Could there be anything more sicken-ing or savage than the Incidents of the hotel fire in Syracuse last night by which twenty-fiv- s unfortunates lost their lives? Just imagine a house full of guests reposing calmly in their rooms, being suddenly aroused at mid-night by the cry of lire. Before they have a chance to realize their peril the flames lick all around them and cut off every avenue of escape. ' The fire de-partment is on hand and so is the ex-cited multitude, but both are powerless to stem the furious blaze or rescue the victims, whose only alternative, espe-cially in the upper stories, is death from suffocation or a leap from the window to the pavement below. In their night clothes, which may be also their shrouds, the inmates dash their brains against the stone sidewalk, or if perchance they be caught in a safety net they call themselves lucky to escape with injuries alone. ; There is something wofully wrong with a hotel that permits a fire to make so much headway before the alarm is given. Generally it is a firetrap to begin with, and the proprietors who stow away unsuspecting guests are guilty of criminal recklessness. Be-neath an outward appearance of ample security, the stairs and elevators are usually found to be useless and unserv-iceable in the hour of need, while the fire escapes, where they exist at all, are neglected and out of reach. In the boiler room and kitchen the most ordi-nary precautions against the danger of fire are habitually violated, and no watchmnn is on duty to arouse the guests when peril is near, although this could be dono by means of the elootrlo anunciators which every hotel has, al-most instantaneously. ' ' " The coming hotel to seouro the pub-lic patronage will be a substantial fire proof structure in which the fire appar-atus will be remote from tho sleeping apartments, and which will ' contain every faoility for ready escape. There are entlroly too many Lcland hotels In the country and too many Syraouse horrors in consequence. ' She lia-U-; r, ' The full name of Otero, the new Span-ish dancer, is vaguely assorted to have been Mme. la Contesse Caroline de Otero, but the count Las been divorced and the dancer is said to set no further tore by the title. Which suggests to the New York Sun these comments: The unassuming way in which the ac-complished young woman bills herself limply as "Otero," and says nothing at all about being a countess, is in marked contrast to the manner of the young dancing lady immortnllzcd in song a few years ago, It will be remembered that of hia artist it was written: On the stage she's the Star-eye- Astarte But at home she's Bridget MoOarty 6h. wears spangled clo'es, Goes around on ber toes-O- h. the belle of them all is me darlln' 1 or words to that effect. Olero'a diffidence in this respect is quite remarkable and has inspired the writing of the following joemi On the stage she is s mply "Otero," As she Ranees the blit.ief ome bolero No title to care for She lugs about, therefore She travels with never a care 01 She Is marvelous In the oaohuca, Her swajring would put to rebuke a Young willow tree swinging, i And as to her singing, , She's BWeeter than N1U.. a pr Lucoa.

We understand some effectlva campaign work in a quiet way ia being done for the Liberal nom-inee, whioh is preferable to the noisy hurrah campaign conducted in the last city and county elections. A number of prominent pitizons suggest, however, that Salt Lake City give an outward sign of interest in Judge Goodwin's oan-vas- s that may be contagious to the rest of the territory. Those " citizens advise that one or two mass meetings be held, mass meetings in the full tense of the term, in which tho issues of the cam-paign are boldly defined. An invitation to the progressive eloment heretofore acting in concert with the people's party on local matters should be ex-tended . Wo have speakers in Salt Lake who can do justice to their subject, cause, candidate, to themselves and their audiences. Let them speak out in meeting; and by the way Judge Goodwin himself Is not a mean orator. The announcement that he would speak would attract multitudes to hear him, What say you, Judge Powersf Charles Webb Dead. '' Ogden Standard, y "' ' ' '" Charles Webb of Slatervllle, one of the Liberal county convention delegates and a member of the Liberal county central committee, 'died at the residence of A. I. Stone, at Mound Fort on Sun-day afternoon of kidney trouble. The funeral will be held at Mound Fort school house today at 1 o'clock. Mr. Webb was nominated as a delegate to the Liberal territorial convention but was taken auddonly ill and was unable to attend. - An operation for stricture was performed but resulted in no bene-fit, as he quietly passed away on Sun-day. The Herald still shrieks mud. Mud is its main argumont. Delegate Caisb is etill silent as the autumnal oyster, but not nearso savory. We are M illing to admit Ogdon as a rivul in the si.o of ber liberal majority. Here's a chance. KILL THE DOG AMD THB PARROT. It is admitted by many staunch re-publicans who have been a stalwart liberals, that the time has come, in view of fjresont and prospective circumstan-ces, to take preliminary steps in the or-ganization of a republican club in Utah. The democrats in Salt Lake City have already formed and officered a political club on their side of the house. It is understood that all patriotic and liberal voters of evory political shade of opin-ion, turn out and make a grand rally at the polls in favor of Judge Goodwin. Our home Interests require this. Every material interest in Utah would be ad-vanced by his election. He would be the first Utah representative to sit in the national halls of legislation. The former delegates, ( especially John T. Caine who scuks a simply and only represented a political church, hostile in its principles and practices to tho republic. How any intelligent and indepen-dent Mormon can vote for Caine In preference to Goodwin, who can tell? Judge Goodwin is a republican, but, if that able and honest democrat, Judge Buskin, had been the nominee of the Liberal convention Instead,, the posi-tion, the obligation and the enthusiasm would have been the same. Both the Liberal and the People's partlos have had their day. The first was an aggres-sive and necessary combination against a polygamous and therefore disloyal church. The second was a defensive, negative and therefore useless organi-zation. The first Is victor in the fight against one of the twin relics of bar-barism. It has fought gallantly for the faith once delivered to the fathers, has finished its course and will occupy a high place in the history of this territory and country. Now and here-after the lines of political battle will be formed in connection with national issues. Home and munioipal issues should be settled by the best men of both great parties as ngalnst the vicious, the bosses and the placemen, who, of late have come to the front. A radical change of circumstances demands a corresponding change of baso, The old polygamous churoh and party have for-mally proclaimed their unconditional surrender of the vioious practice. If they are not acting In good faith "the worse for them. A nation of sev-enty millions is not to be trifled with. It is neither the part of char-ity nor good policy to doubt their solemn promise. To bark one's life away like Beecher's dog at tho hole In the stono wall where the squirrel ran In is a dogged nuisanoo and a po-litical weakness. Live political parties cannot exist on bark, although heaven knows they often attract many mangy curs. . Tub Times was the first paper to accept the renunciation of polygamy as sincere on the part of the body of the church organization, and it does not now propose to take any part in the parrot and monkey fight as to old is-sues. Material, social and educational progrees for Utah in tno present outlook, and to this threefold advancement it stands pledged. In the forthcoming discussion and. division it invites the young and progressive men of every religious and political creed to participate in a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether" in an effort to place Utah as a rich, populous and loyal state in the union.! Salt Lajce Citjt should ring the key-note for tho congressional election and . the territory will take it up, It is hard to give up old habits, hence the two column discussion of tho obso-- , lete question of polygamy goes merrily on. In his selection of a successor to As-sociate Justice Miller, the president will doubtless exercise the utmost discretion and care. Under any oircumstanoe it will be difficult to replace the dead jurist, much ?ss if any of the profes-sional politicians who clamor for the position should be appointed. The highest judicial tribunal should be filled only with the highest legal talent. What an accession to tho supreme bench Senator Evarts would make were he only ten years younger and a western man! THE wrath of Portugal against Brit-ish encroachments in Africa is impotent but the government will probably feed it, preferring to spend its force away from homo, v Protests nguinst the opening of the Chicago fair on Sunday are somewhat premature, but tho protestants proba-bly think it is the early bird that catches what be wants. Ogden was tho first big town In Utah to go Liberal, and it should be the first to roll up a mighty majority for the Liberal candidate for delegate. We are glad the party thero is active, alert and enthusiastic. Made Light Of. Ogden Union. It is not the moon's fault. The clouds would not allow her to shine. Neither the fault of the electric light-Broke- n poles and torn wires inter-rupted the progress of the roltaio fluid. But it was dark, the darkness of a Cimmerian night on Saturday after sun-set. A gentleman who does not desire his name mentioned for obvious reasons of modesty was passing through Lester Park.' , He had $25 in his pocket. The pocket is there yet, but like Mother Hnbbard's famous oupboard. In the obsourity of the opportunity an unknown Itobin Hood taokled our anouymus fellow citizen and relieved him of what he had in coin and cur-rency. Gite us light, more light. '" According to the Herald, Justin S. Morrell was formally elected United States senator from Idaho. Thus the Herald with one foil swoop of the pen kills off the ambition of its lively enemy, Fred Dubois. Real estate men declare that the demand for cheap building lots Is very active, which means that the workmen are looking for homes of their own. Fortunate is the oity whose wage earn-ers can and will do that. If the councilmen keep thoir eyes and ears strained as they mingle with thoir constituents, thoy must know something about tho public sentiment concerning the Deep Creek railroad. Can they afford to disregard it? . In Canada as in England petitions for the commutation of a death sentence find little heed, and notwithstanding the movements now on foot to save mur-derer Burchell from the gallows, we be-lieve he will hang on schedule time. . The Ontoa of Nherift Boise Statesman. The sheriff's office often receives some curious letters, and the inquiries in-clude the standing of parties, the where-abouts of the writer's missing friends, and on almost every other toplo. Some want missing nrtioles looked up, and others propound queries devoid of rhyme or reason. A man in Missouri a short time since wrote Sheriff Kobblns that he had left some clothes at his brother-in-law'- s house ' in Caldwell when there, and that frequent requests for their production has been ignored and his letters unanswered. He desired to invoke the strong arm of 'the law, and asked the sheriff to make a raid, recover the raiment, cast the faithless brother-in-la- into the penitentiary and draw on him for the expenses. Need-less to state, the raid has not yet been made. A recent correspondent writes from Texas requesting that the sheriff procure for him a pair of Rocky moun-tain sheep's horns. . A correspondent in another column of The Times, referring to our coin-me-on the scaroity of brick, gives a , rational explanation of the reasons therefor. The trouble boing known It should not be difficult to apply a remedy. Lecturer Charles Ellis varied his programme somewhat yesterday. In-stead of abusing God he abused the federal government and its oflioers sent to Utah during the arly and ugly years. Lecturer Ellis would rather be seusational than truthful. Proo Waterworks. Provo Enquirer. .. Tho city council has expressed Its willingness to pay the waterworks com-pany $3000 per annum for fifty hy-drants. The offer is a liberal one and should be occepted by the waterworks company without so many proposals. Tho business men of Provo seem to think that the offer of the council is quite as liberal an offer as can be made under the existing revenue of the city, and we think so, too. The yearly in-come of Provo is not large and we need more than simply waterworks. Senator Manderson's name is being prominently mentioned in connection with the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Miller. Unfortunately for . him, the Hon. John L. Webster of his own city is a candidate for the same office and endorsed by the bar. That was an adventurous escape which Dillon and O'Brien made from Ireland, but difficult as it was we fear it will be more difficult for them to re-turn home. And surely they do not mean to exile themselves when their cause and nation are in sore need of their saving presence. A WTary editor. . .. . Elko, Nev., Independent. The editor of the Independent feels grateful for the honor of. being nomi-nated for School Trustee by both parties. While the compliment 'is ap-preciated, he has only to say that twa years ago he offerded himself as a sae-- ; rifice for tire thankless office and the' people knocked him out; but he assures them that they will never hare tha opportunity to do it again.
