Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES. SATURDAY, MARCH 7. 18'J1. RUtborL'.fd by law upon comply-ing willi pertain preliminaries, does Miy man suppose, looUng lit tin) un-fathomable mud through which wo are now compelled to undo, Unit the ex-pense would bo lamented That wo would complain about it? We will come back to this hitter subject by mid by. l'crhaps Mr. 1'aic.ons who has tho courage and enterprise needed nt this .juncture, may urge the matter while ho is at tho head of affairs. At present lot in resolve to go ahead in tho upbuilding of this city to which wo are solemnly pledged. Capital and labor will both bid god speed to the t.isk. uu aui;i. It is more than a year since the lib-eral city government was elected amidst a furore of enthusiasm. W ith bands and bonfires and banquets tho people celebrated their deliverance from the rut of a narrow village ad-ministration. The new departure indi-cated new life, cow vigor, new enter-prise, new improvements aud a new city altogether. There was to be a change that would transform Salt Lake into a veritable metropolis, with solid sidewalks, sightlv pavements, tine buildings aud busy people. Thirteen months have already elapsed and few of the promises have been fulfilled, few of the Improvements have been inau-gurated. Much of this failure is duo to inexperience. Government is an intricate science which must be acquired like any other science, by per-sistent trial, and this is the lint inning the liberal party has had. But it is time its apprenticeship were passed now. Little time remains in which to fulfill the pledges made before election, yet enough to show tho people that they wero made in good faith. inecity administration is honest. Not even the most malignant partisan has charged ought against it but neglect, lint it is handicapped by a timid, halt-iug- . faint and pnsilanimous leadership which dares uot do tho right because it is bold. .Salt Lake city stands today a Col-Lossu- s on the divide. Her prospect and promise, if joined to true enterprise, were never surpassed. That should enterprise prevail that was the practical verdict of tho February election in l!i0. Let us inaugurate it. Let us build the joint public building. Let ns begin paving, grading, guttering and curbing in earnest. Let us rear school houses to accommodate all our children. Let us husband our lucaus for concentrated improvements instead of scattering them piecemeal iu every direction. One block of pave-ment would teach our citizens a valuable object lesson that would go far toward overcoming the scruples of the fossil element. That is the history of every community when it stood on the threshold of a decisive change. Tho people are willing to pay for public Improvements, and supplement them with private enterprise, provided they f;ot their money's worth of them. Suppose we should have gone ahead with the laying of th sidewalks as amendment was never made, except in the imagination of tho delegate, tho conflict is removed and thero remains only the assertion that Governor Thomas was instrumental in passing tho bill. This we can allirm, and in our opinion ha has never done a better servico to Utah than in securing this law. We think it is one of tho most important aids to the progress of I'tah ever devised. Jn the saiuti dispatch Mr. Caine also enlarged upon the appropriation for salaries to the executive aud judicial ollieers, fixing it at $:(S,40(), win? the actual figure is only lit), 00'). Altogether tho L'tan mUrepreiohiativo soeins to hao been stranded at the close of the session, thoroughly dazed and morn than commonly stupid. And that is saving a great deal. TWO MISSIAl'KMKNTS. A peculiar dispatch emanating from lielegate Cain k appeared in his organ yesterday, declaring that the reappor-tionment bill had been so amended as to exclude the governor and secretary from the board as a deliberate snub to the former. The funny part of it is that at the same time Mr. Caine credited the passage of the bill to the governor's influence. . How he could roeoueile the two con-flicting statements is not clear to the average intellect. However, as the "THE OLD LADY. COD BLESS HER!" A lilt of Ganulu Uuinan Nature From the Country New York Letter. A dear old lady from the country sat with her son, also from the country, in the big dining room of the As tor house a few evenings ago. Men who have come to New Vork from the country, if they had seen her, would have been re-minded of their grand mothers. Her face was kindly and thero was just a little color in it. She was not very tall, and her figure was comfortable. She wore a shawl. Her bonnet was a littlo one and in front of it was home white lace. He gown was of bomba-zine aud of somewhat ancient cut. The big, I rightly lighted room inter-ested her; so did the people at the tab-les. While the son was engaged in the somewhat perplexing task of selecting their supper the old lady talked amia-bly with the waiter. She had told him that she hoped Landlord Astr and Mis' Astor were pretty well. The waiter explained that Mr. Allen was the land-lord, whereat the old lady expressed polite surprise. V lien the waiter had (one with the order she devoted a few minutes to studying tho chaudclicrs. Tlicv represent candles. "I wonder," she said, "how tinder tho sun Miss Allen ever gets up there to snuir em." "Snull what?" asked her son. "Why, them candles; they're so high tin." The youti! man did not answer. The old lady again gaxcl at the ctian-dalier- s relleetivo. "They nin't no need of all that l:ght." she said. "Miss Al-len must he a powerful wasteful wom-an " Her son was apparently a man of few words. IKr criticism was unnoticed. Presently the waiter brought the liread and the plates and what the old lady evidently thought a superabun-dance of knives ami forks. Mm greet-ed him pleasantly. "Hack again, hevV she said; "your pretty quick." "lint, Horace," she added to her son, "you ordered somethin' more than bread, did ! you?" "It will be hero shortly," put in the waiter, with a polite bow. The old lady gave him a svreet smile. "Pin pretty hungry," she said. Several ot the diners had overheard her riliHMCi':itioo Some nf thpin were very hard faced business men. They did not laugh at her. They only regarded her with lively interest. She smoothed out tho tablecloth care-fully and inspected the silver, evident-ly with approval. The waiter brought the meal and gave the old lady close attention, which pleased her immensely. She smiled on him and asked after the health of his family. As she rose from the table she said to him: "Tell Miss Allen I'd like to have her receipt) for that snow puddin', but I'm in a hurry." The waiter bowed, and said gravely that he would do so. As the old lady passed out of the door one of the diners raised .1 glass of wine and said: "The old lady; (rod bless her!"

Ihm't give us an interminable quarrel over it instead. i riiHs ask it.ui; ritoiii.K.'VM. Now that the force bill has been shelved for a time, and perhaps foreuir, tho philosophical mind reverts to the older and deeper questions out of which this political agitation arose, or bcrnnift of nt In'wt it intnr- - ested all who love our country and be-lieve in righteousness. These deeper problems pertain to a sort of natural conlliet between individual or personal ethics and national ethics when applied to what is right conduct toward alien races and peoples. Individually we be-lieve iti the brotherhood of man and in the essential humanity of all races and sorts of men, We believe in doing jus-tie-to all, Christian and heathen, Chi-nese, Turk or African, and we say that we should measure that justice by the golden rule. Hut there are indications that as pat-riots wo hold another doctrine. Our e legislation is tho umst public expression of this doctrine that, as a nation, we have put forth. Our late Indian war and the discussions brought forth by tho election bill have revealed a deep and strong national sentiment that is surely more patriotic than philan-thropic. 'The feeling seems to be that America is for Americans, meaning by that term not the aboriginal red man nor any recent importations black or yellow. It may bo a little hard to draw the lines, but there is no mistake about the feeling. The red man has no rights as against us, in Oklahoma, the Chero- - kee Strip, or anywhere else, but ho i may simply occupy reservations till we ! noed the laud. Our feeling in regard to the negro and the Chinaman and perhaps tho Indian also, would seem to he a matter pertaining to our placo of ' residence. If we live in the south, we t feel that the ucgro ought not to vote or f that his vote aught not to be counted; md if we live on the Pacifio coast we f telieve that the Chinese ought not lo 8 be allowed to come to this country. If we live in Boston we can, from a safe distauce, love all theso alien races vol-ubly aud preach tho brotherhood of man with a mild and cultured intensity. Can anything sound aud reasonable be said in defense of the sort of American patriotism that feels that this country is for us, the white men, and that no col-ored varieties of the human family can be allowed to live here on equal terms with us' It is plainly opposed to our common ethical code as individuals, anil it is quite contrary to tho snirit of pa-triotism in which our nation had its birth. Liberty, equality, fraternity, were the watchwords then, and Fiiask-us- , Jk.kkeknon, Pa ink and tho rest ap-plied them to all mankind, regardless of birth-plac- or race characteristics. And yet so strong a feeling must have a cause if not a justification, and it is likely, moreover, to be closely bound up w ith rnuuh that goes to mako up a nation's strength and prosperity, how-ever contrary it may be to each man's private ethical code. It is to be observed first that this anti-alie- n sentiment is natural, and partakes of the nature of an iustinct. It is not tho result of anbody's preaching, but it exists, contrary to almost all preach-ing. It is probably a survival of the old war spirit from tho ancient days, when each nation, race or trilm w.m the enemy of all other nations or races. The struggle for existence between different nations upon the earth has been lierce aud long, and a fervent patriotism that is free from nil race hatred is too pure and high a sentiment to expect until wo are farther removed from the times when war was tho chief occupation of mankind. If this be the true state of the case, is it wise to in-vite all creation to come to these shores and take up their abode with us and join us at the polls in celebrating lili-ert-equality aud fraternity? ltace-hatre-or is apparently inherited for many generations, and wo will probably ceunt too much upon tho intluences of education if we expect tho feeling to yield to reason ami instruc-tion, even in the next hundred years. But even this is uot the whole case. History shows us no exampie of the complete extinction of race feeling ex-cept through the extinguishing of the hated race, And we shall search in vain for an example of a strong and prosperous nation that was not patriotic in the narrow and selfish way which consists in jealousy of all that is foreign, prejudice agaiust all people of an alien lai-tr- , auu u iiiauimv ui uu mem jus-tice iu a national w ay. Such a nation as Fhankun' and Jeiteusun' conceived is purely ideal even yet, glorious as the ideal is. How rapidly it can be made actual upon this continent or elsewhere probably depends upon other forces and iulluences besides those that con-trol personal ethics and education. For if a nation becomes unsellish too fast, adopts the doctrine of universal brotherhood too far in advance of sister nations, it will perish through weak-ness. The war spirit regards not righteousness nor culture and the forces that overcome it work slowly and are hard to hurry. i A CIIANCK H11 MH, I'AKSONM.

There is uo question but what tho property owners stand ready to have, this improvement made, provided it can be done at a rea-sonable cost, for tho construction of sidewalks in front of tho owners property enhances its value largely. The cost of constructing sidewalks eight feet wide is about as follows; For Kuglish Portland cement, about K'.(I5 per front foot; of Brick, about $ s." per front foot; of Slagaiithie or Slag cement, aliout $1.75 per front foot; of stone flagging, about :!.85 to $1 10 per front foot. Now it would seem that while Port-land cement comes a trifle higher than ,,r stiifr eiiin.itit tl,f If- ,..,.,,1.1 I. . more desirable for the business portion of the city than any other, but for walks outside of tho business center, we would think that the cheaper walks of brick or slag cement would bo the proper walks to construct. The present city government prom-ised faithfully to make this needed im-provement. Now let us see the work commenced at once and prosecuted to completion iustead of going out into the outskirts of thu city and expending large sums of money in cutting down hills in order to make a pleasure drive for tho few who can afford the luuirv of driving, and allowing the sidewalks uiwl prfw. ri ira in tlin nt,i,a ,. ..:.. whore tho main ttavnl is to remain in a condition of a marsh. All it requires to begin the work is a notii-- of intention on tho part of tho city council to go on with it, to he pu!- - lished for twenty days aud considi-ra- j tion for ton days a board of j equalization. Then the assemnt will be made not to become delinquent for sixty days thereafter, meantime the j improvement can go on. Mr. I'aijsu.vs is chairman of the street j committee and also acting mayor. He j has, therefore, the opportunity to show j the people what an ollicial keenly alive j Lto the promises made by the party to the people una Uu. ASEIVAL8 AND CL08E OF MAILS.

What ever divorsity of opinion there might exist among tho citizens of this city and county as to the most desira-ble site for the joint public building, there is absolutely no difference in feeling about the urgent need of push-ing the building itself ahead. As Hoit-Ac- e Gkf.ki.y once said about the re-sumption of specie payment, tho only way to do a thing is to do it.- - The people are thoroughly weary of the dilly dally that has marked the work thus far, and it would be an easy thing for a demagogue to convince them that there is a job at the bottom of it. Pro- - orastination has been the ban of this ad ministration too long, and as a sincere friend of the government we advise it to gird itself with resolution and do whatever it will promptly and quickly. Nothing but enemies will be gained by delaying the work any longer. We need the building, and whatever plan can best promote the immediate con-struction of it should be pursued with vigor and decision. All other consider-ations are secondary to (his. Let the popular slogan be: Build tho the city hall. A New Suggestion. Salt Lakh Cut, March 0. Editor Times: Dear Sir I understand a con-tract for fl lt)0 feet of wrought irou pipe and all masonry work has been awarded by the board of public works to Dubois iV Williams, aud the contract for grad-ing has been awarded to Hobson & Wilkinson, all work to be doue on lower survey. If irou pipe is used, it follows the some grade as the creek for 0U)0 feet and then raises 120 foet; this brings it up within two feet of the same level as the preseutinal. All heavy aud ex-pensive work is on this tilOO feet. Now, why not turn the water from the present canal into the brick and concrete scqneduct, tilOO feet from the head, and abandon that part of the work. There is no sense in running a line parallel with the one now built in the canyon. This will save $ii."i.00il. If necessary there can be a wood roof put over this'O-lD- feet to protect the water from the sun, but I don't consider it necessary to do so. By doing as 1 suggest, there will be no rock work, no iron pipe aud no heavy work to be done. Ask any civil or hydraulic engineer if this is not cor-rect, before you publish it. Look at tho profile in the engineer's ollice and see if I am not right. Six thousand four hundred feet from the head tho lower survey is only two feet below the pres-ent canal. This makes it just right to turn in the water. IIvuhaii.ic Knulneek, What is the matter with the side-walks? Two thousand hands are ready-t-o lay them. Why not the city?

Many years ago (lail Hamilton touched this radical keynote by declaring that a woman of W ought to be aa much ashamed of being dyspeptic as of being drunk, and the doctors think there is a .sense in which slio is right. It will be conceded by every enlightened person that illness in any form is a result of broken laws. They may not have been broken by the individual himself, but the result may descend to him by heredity. All the same, gome ono has blundered. One of tho greatest hin-drances to women in possessing that abounding vigor and energy, which alonii is actual and positive health, is the lingering tradition that a certain amount of languor or weakness is in- - teres ting. From Jurli to irey. New Vork Sun. colored men entered an elevated railroad car the other day and took j se.us ailiogether in lino.
