Let no Liberal underestimate, its im-portance. THK SCHOOL C.Wm'AICiN. The Liberal campaign Jbogins this evening in earnest. The opening meet-ings will be hold iu the Nineteenth and Twentieth wards in the schoolhouso of each ward. Every arrangement has lieeu perfected to make these meetings the most enthusiastic demonstrations. Cood speakers and good music havo been engaged. The main issue in this campaign is the schools. A board of education, consisting of two trustees from each municipal ward, is to lie elected. Tho Liberals have put in the lioll a ticket that is made up of well-know- citi-- , reus and good business men, who, if placed in control of the educa-tional interests of this city, will at once give Salt Lake a lirst class system of graded schools something which we arc greatly iu need of. Wherever tiie Liberals have secured control of the schools they have demonstrated their ability to conduct them in a manner satisfactory to everybody. They have also shown a commeudablo spirit of fairness, and have exhibited an enter-prise that has met with general appro-bation. It is the duty of every' Liberal, as well as of every oilier man who desires better schools, to attend these meetings uud hear the school question discussed. ' js a rule school elections do not call "out a very lull vote. This, however, is a great mistake ou the part of the people, as our schools are a much more impin taut matter than t lie ordinary of-- " Y PARK CIT1T NEWS.

Park city citizens have loug been de-manding not only a butter quality of water than they aro now furnished with, but they demanded more of it and with a sufficient pressure to insure a saving of at least a portion of the city in case of a conllagratiou. There is perhaps no other mining camp in Utah, which lias so much pure water as Park, coming as it does from the snows which crown the lofty moun-tains by which we aro surrounded. And yet with this supply of liquid crys-tal the health of our citizens are disre-garded by giving them a fluid contami-nated by the drainage from tho Alli-ance, Anchor and oilier tunnels which is poisoned by tho smoke of giant pow-der, and their property is in constant jeopardy by a totally inadequate pres-sure. Mr. Dunbar, of the National Tube works, is now in Park for the purpose of negotiating for pipes for a new sys-tem. In laying the question before Mayor Gregor and tho city council his proposition met with general approval and the mayor in reply to him made this answer which I clip from the Re-cord: "The town demands better wa-ter and more of it, and I will say right here that the council should bestir them-selves in this matter. The reservoirs from which we now get our water sup-ply are misplaced and not properly at-tended to. Situated as the reservoirs are, where all sorts of debris and tilth accumulate the water that comes from thein is prejudicial to the health of this community, and that much sickness and widespread epidemic have not resulted is more a matter of good fortune than wiso management." Very likely some plans will soon be formulated looking towards a better supply. Nearly all the miners and every other citizen was away last week, either in Ogden or celebrating in Salt Lake, so that the week has been dull.mineralogically considered, though the Fourth of July, carnival, or any-thing else materially affects our out-put. Mr. Reese of the Record furnishes his readers every week with a delect-able feast of absolutely reliable mining and other news. To "this is due the success of the paper, for Mr. Resse is as unsensatipnal as a spent cannon ball. prise no ono. Coming, however, from a leading democratic journal it may cause some astonishment among the moss-bac- k democrats.' Tho Chicago Herald is an independent democratic journal, anil represents the better and more progressive wing of the party. The marked success of that paper is due to its independent altitude, and it3 in-fluence for good is boing daily felt in tho ranks of the democrats. THK ItlCIIT SENTIMENT. In Milwaukee hist week a respectable colored man recovered a judgment against the proprietor of a theater from which ho had been ejected on account of his color. The Chicago Herald in commenting on the case says: Color, race, oreed. uro uot qniUUlcaUouft for admission to public p;i es. Iu no couutry lmt this does ii mull's color create prejudice amilnstliiui. Kuiope outgrew this stupidity when she had I ho xrace to abandon the slave trade. RhehiiU the wickedness to revive the slave trade for onr curse, and 11. is only we w ho still cherish tho dull notion that color has to do with public, rights. Cleanliness of per-son, propriety of deportment, are the only qualifications for privileges to be lwuurbt iii public places. The Milwaukee jury are to be congratulated. The sooner while people grow accustomed to indifference about color in pub-lic the better for all concerned. It is the law, li is reasou. It is civilization.

The Chinese minister to Washington is quoted as saying that unless the United States government repeals the law which now excludes Chinamen from this country, Americans will be treated to a dose of their own medicine In other words, Americans are to be ex-cluded from Cbiua. Tho Chinese minister advances some plausible arguments in favor of the re-peal of this law. Ho says: "You Bay that Chinamen C(,me to America and save all the money they can and then take it home Willi thein. that they do not become citizens. Well, Is that not exactly what every American in China is doing? The Chinese have built your great western railroads, und their cheap lalwr has tnado possible and has curried through:) to successful completion works and enterprises which would be impos-sible with other labor. Tho Chinese are satis-fied wit h small wages and do not strike. Whi n they are driven out the capitalists will be ut the mercy of other foreign laborers, who will not work so cheap and who will combine mid strive to jeopardize capital. Chinese cheap labor has been tried in various parts of thy world and was always a success." This argument is all right in theory, but all wrong in practice, When the Pacific railroads were built thero was a great scarcity of American labor. These roads were started during the war of tho rebelion. Every man and every boy, who could bo spared from home, was at the front battling for the stars and stripes, and when the war was over the survivors returned to their homes and began to rebuild up their bnsiues and. rocultivato their farms. There were no men to spare for railroad building in those days. Now all is changed. There is a su-perabundance of labor, and our first duty is to find employment for it. The Chinese minister forgets that is the first law of nature. It is upon that vital law that the exclusion of the Chinese is based. Were we to open the gates of our country to the 000,000,000 celes-tials, wo would be over-ru- n with them in less than twenty years. The Ameri-can laborer, unable to compete with them," would become a pauper. The result would be a sanguinary revolu-tion. Every Chinaman would be either slaughtered or driven from the country. We cau no more coinpeto'agaiust Chi-nese cheap labor than wo can against the peon labor of Mexico, against which congress recently protected the American miner by restoring the duty on lead. We care not for American interests in China. They are simply the interests of a few contractors and manufacturers, and the latter sell their products cheaper to Chinamen thou they do to Americans, The interest of American labor, however, affects millions of hon-est workingmen, and it is not likely that tho Chinese exclusion law will ever be repealed. NEWSBOY "BENNY". 8TRIKES LUCK. He Wishes Some One Would Pick Up An-other of His Quarters. While the clerks - in the uptown office were busy one evening taking in the copy of advertisements for the next day's paper, a silver quarter was rattled upon the glass top of the window where papers are sold, and a shrill piping noice that seemed to come np through the floor said: "Gimme twelve cents' worth of extras." A clerk looked toward the window, and saw a tiny hand tapping impatiently on the glass, and, leaning far over, the clerk saw the body of a wee newsboy against the counter. Just then Undertaker Dieclnnan, who had handed in a death notice, seized the change that the clerk rattled out upon the glass plate at .the window and bolted out of the door. Another clerk went to the . and counted out copies of the exto''" the wee newsboy. He saw no money on the counter and asked the little fellow for the pay for the extras. The lad began to cry. He said that he had flung a silver quarter on the counter and wanted his change. A hasty investigation was made, and led to the discovery that the undertaker, in his hurry, had carried off the news-boy's quarter with his own change. The lad was "Benny" Buehler, one of the brightest newaboys who sell extras. "Benny," said tho clerk, "that gentle-man took your quarter by mistake. You go and tell him that and see what he will do." Benny trotted around to the under-taker's home in Twenty-firs- t street, and a pleasant mannered woman met him at the door and took out her pocketbook and got a quarter for him as soon as she heard his story. A customer was in the uptown office when Benny got back with a face wreathed with .smiles to pay for his papers. "Here's another quarter for you, my little man," the customer said, diving down into his pocket for a silver piece and patting the boy on the head. The next day Undertaker Dieckman came into the office in a hurry and threw a quarter on the counter. "I walked off with more money yes-terday than I was entitled to," he said cheerily; "here it is. I heard When I got home that it belonged to a newsboy. This makes fifty cents he will ha-- c re-ceived, but it's all right." The newsboys in the neighborhood got to talking of Benny's luck, and the story reached somebody in the Grand hotel, near the uptown office. This man called Benny into the hotel and had a talk with him. Benny came to the office the next night and told about the interview. This is how he told it: " 'Is yon the little snoozer as had a fellow take your quarter by mistake? says the man. , 'Well, you was in hard luck, boy. Here's a dollar fer you,' and he takes me by the collar and says, 'Now get out of here, and don't let me ketch yon having that happen agin.' "New York Sun. ' ARRIVALS AND CLOSE OP MAILS.

Sweet peace will ex-perience a severe pain when the time for cen-sus rolls'ruund luthe future. Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. So far as Salt Lake is concerned there is no row with Ogdon. Tho row comes entirely- - from the Junction city. The statement of tho Lincoln Journal, which obtained its information from tho newspaper liars of Ogden, is false. Salt Lake has no suburbs. The enu-meration of this city was contined wholly to people within the city limits. The census . taken by the city authorities in May gave Salt a population of 52,732, and the federal census taken in June gave us a popula-tion of only 49,972. This was far below our expectations. be-lieved that the federal census would be taken in u very thorough manner. But it wasn't. The fact is, we have a solid 55,000 people in Salt Lake. Ogdeu nat-urally feels sore over the fact that Salt Lake has three times as many people as that city. The Ogdenltes had boomed their population in their minds to over 20,000,aud when the census showed that they had only a few over 10,000, they of course felt crushed. We don't blame them. They have our sympathy. We believe that Ogdon has more people than the census shows. She probably has about 17,110. She ought to get a recount so that these figures can be verified. Nevertheless, Ogden is a pretty little city, full of enterprise and carnival vim. There is no denying that fact. THE SCHOOL ELECTION-JUL- Y 14T1I.

A NEW OPERA HOUSE, It is hoped that the Walkers will at onco decide to rebuild the (irand opera house. If, as it is' claimed, tho walls are perfectly safe, it cau be rebuilt upon a much improved plan inside of ninety days. Salt Lake cannot afford to be without a first class theater, and if it is determined not to rebuild tho Grand opera house, other parties will undoubtedly erect a largo and elegant theater that .will in every way bo a credit to tho city. Wo understand that there is already on foot a movement with this object in view. Tho parties interested in it are men of ample means. They are simply wailing to learn what the owners of the Grand opera house propose to do. We have reason to be-lieve, however, thai the Grand will bo rebuilt. It was o;i a. paying basis, owing to the excellent management of Mr. Burgess, who had devoted a year to building up tho business. Undor his direction it had becomo a popular place of amusement, and next season it would have been more popular than ever, owing to the fact that 'the very best at-tractions had been booked.

In the "Notes and Queries" depart-ment of tho Chicago Herald, an Indiana correspondent asks: "Are there any whales in .Salt Lake?" The Herald says that there are not. This a grave mistake on tho part of the otherwise d Chicago paper. Had its representatives been present at the Saturday gathering at Garfield beach in honor of his royal nibs, Rex II, ho would have been convinced that thero are whales in Salt Lake. Did not Judoo Powers, tho deputy of Neptune, officially declare Colonel Nicholas Trewcek to bo tho keeper of the whales in the following words: "Neptune says you are a tried soldier in his service, and do not fear ,tho rolling deep. Of all the beasts of the sea, none are more valuable or sportivo than the vvliale, and there is no ono better ablethau you to keep the whales, anil I decorate you as their keeper." Would Judge Pow-ers, as oue- of Neptune's officials, ele-vated Colonel Treweok to this import-ant office if there had been no whales in Salt Lake? Of course he would not. We consider that all this proves conclu-sively that Salt Lakoisfull of whales, aud wo call upon the Chicago Herald to mako tho proper correction. The Salt Lake bank clearings, although making a good showing, do not do justice to tho city as all tho banks are not included in the clearing house association. The Stato bank, tho Utah National bank, the National Bank of the Kepublic, aud tho Doseret sav-ings bank are yet to como into the asso-ciation, and they will probably do so In the near future. Their business will materially increase thoar-.ouu- of clear-ings at least a quarter of a million a week. It is important that every bank :u the city should belong to tho clear-ing house association, and wo hope that if thero is any obstacle to their joining it will bo removed as soon as possible.

He Tells How He Managed to Itecover From Disaster. Gath in the Inquirer. "How did you recuperate your for-tunes. Mr. Cooke? ' "By never changing tho tempera-anien- t and mind I derived from my father and mother ami from my earliest experience iu life. I have always been of a hopeful temperament, never living iu the cloud. I havo also had a reason-able philosophy to think that men and times wcro better than harsh citizenship would suppose. I believed that this American world of ours was full of wealth and it was only ueeessary to go to work aud find it. I took au interest iu the Horn silver-min- in Utah, aud it developed splendidly! At ono time I could have sold mv interest there for $!WO,U0O. But 1 kept my faith with my fellow stockholders, and finally, when they let go my profits shrank to about $000,000. I had another mine which made me $.00,000. Many of the things 1 took a hold of yielded a reward from the hopefulness and the reality we gave and received. During those "dark 'days 1 kept, up my belief in n good Provi-dence, a good country anil good inten-tions. Tims I rescued the graves of my parents, the homes where my childivu had enjoyed themselves, aud they are mine again. When 1 was selling the Northern Pacilie loans a large portion of the banking fraternity jeered at me, and attempted to undermine my credit, and the other day I took up the list of new directors anil found the names of these men there. I felt that I had done my work and had neither the time nor the disposition to recriminate."
