If not, wh.it is the use of demanding it? What is the sense of wating nuy money on it? If not, why not say so in plain language and dismiss the subject from further discussion? We, fear, however, that tho mere query will excite ridicule or indigna-tion, because the need of the public building is so palpable as to admit of no question about it. But trilling and dilly dallying will not bring m a step nearer tho consummation than if we never contemplated the building at all. in this way the present city council might go out of ollice and tho county board too before another stone is laid on tho structure. If the private interest of any men or clique, is to be regarded before that of the public then wu might as well despair of ever having a city hull, nrgont though it may be, since it is impossible to reconcile all individual interests. 'I'll k Timks does not care what site is selected so lorn? as it is a convenient ' one; or if it docs care.it is willing to waive its opinion for tho sake of har-mony, provided such harmony results in hastening tho work, iiut this one condition it must insist on with all the emphasis it cau command. We have hud all the fooling the people will bear, and unless we change from words to works, and that at once, there will bo a terrible reckoning with tho obstructionists. Pa-tience hiis already reused to bo a vir-tue and to tempt it any further would be an outrage w hich the people would not be slow to resent. causes, or the prospects of an early Im-provement. The fact that willing hands are unemployed is sulFicient to give us pause and see if no remedy can Le devised to euro the evil. In Salt Lake there is positively no reason why this state of affairs should prevail. We have improvements enough in view to busy every brain and muscle now here. We have the up-building of a great city on hand. The timo is ripe, and tho preliminary steps are ready to start in with tho laying of our sidewalks. Tho condition of our streets is disgraceful. Citizens anxious for tho prosperity of this cap-ital are growing restive under the con-stant delay of this work which throat-en- s to put us in bad odor with strangers whom wo fain would invite to cast their fortunes with us. At least one public building may be pushed to rapid com-pletion, l'ivo school buildings aro in contemplation, to say nothing of the conduit that is already contracted for. The city government is pledged to paving and other public works that shall lift lis not nf I ho iirimitii-- alutn in which of nil the communities of eijual wealth wo alone are left. There is ample private enterprise ready to follow in the wake of public enterprise, the building of tho Jieep Creek railroad among the rest, and the duty of the city to lead the way is therefore doubly manifest. The work must be done; then let us be doing it. LET IS KK UOINO. On every hand tho cry of hard times is heard; more to the east and west of us than right at home, but it is heard even here.

There are men tho latch string of wliso laughter is always out. They have wide open, generous laughs, which hhow a hearty, whole souicd disposition, with-out affectation and a readiness to filler j pood fellowship to tho stranger. Then ' tluTa is a laugh which reminds one of those new fatigled doors to which a chain is ultaclii d, permitting an open-ing just wide enough to allow a very meager glimpse of tho person behind the door. This is the guarded laugh. It the cool, calculating man, who makes money faster than he makes friends. Sometimes one runs across a door which flies open with the slightest pro-vocation. Its catch is defective. Soma people laugh that way. Their laughter is frequently described as a giggle. Tho intellectual furnishings of the character such it laugh aro hardly worth tho looking at. although it is tho easiest matter in tho world tos'-ethem- . They are meager, and invariably have a dis- - tressmg air of newness which indicates that they ore not often used. liaffalo Express. f. 11 RIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS, Schedule nf arrival and Honlnit of nialU at Halt l.aUe Cltf i'i S!'ffl-i- Nov. 17, ISUt); NAII.S.

"Suppose tho board of public works should insist that you put in 5000 or 7000 feet of pipe at tho price offered, what would you do?" we asked. "I would lose $:i(),000 or ou the job." "lint would you lose it?" "I'd rather forfeit the $500 accom-panying my bid." Hero is the story in a nutshell.' The contractor will demand a guarantee that tho board shall not require him to use pipe, although the specifications say it might, beforo ho files his bonds. If tho board will give Dr liois it Williams such a guarantee, regard-less of Ihe fact that pipo may bo the very material needed, then ihe firm will (pialify and go ahead with the work, if not it will drop tho contract and forfeiture. lu either case there will be fun. IVI l.t OMK TO M'AM.K.V. Tin; 'Jimis, in the natuo of tho people, wclcomca Mr. IIknkv M. Stam.kv and his gifted wife to this city. So long as manly courage and endurance are appreciated, so long will the intrepid explorer of darkest Africa live in the estimation of the world as one of Ihe great heroes of his race. Humanity w as ennobled by his success-ful search for l)u. I,ivfN;srNK and science was enriched by his discoveries on the Congo and elsuwhoro, and we are happy to count him as one of us if only for a day. Mu. StaKlkv has al-ways had a warm heart for this coun-try and this feeling is fully recipro-cated. As for Mis. Stani.ky the American people are ever willing to pay homage to talent, beauty and true womanhood. The welcome of Mr. ami Mrs. Stan-I,k- v to Salt Lako City is as cordial as, it is sincere. ' Meat Ttmt In PoiMuiif ri. "I am going to tell you one thing that is very important, and that is Unit every pain which any animal suffers just be-fore dying poisons the meat," said Ueorg T. Angell, president for the Massaclm setts Society for the Prevention of Cruel-ty to Animals, in an address to the chil-dren of the Boston public schools and published in Our Dumb Animals. "If you wound a ljird and don't kill it, evt-i- minute its nipat is growing worse. "If you catch an animal in a steel trap, every minute it stays there its meat is growing woree. "Some hunters will not eat the meat of a deer that has been run and worried by dogs, but only of those which have been killed by what is called still hunting that is, which are shot and killed, and go don't suffer much before they die. And o it is in transportation and slaughtering all suffering juet before death poisons tho meat." , MEN YOU HEAR OF. Col. Richard Dale, of Philadelphia, is the possessor of the sword presented to John Paul Jones by Louis XVI, and many of Join t,' letters and other relics. rrofewor Koch lias no sense of fear, uti.l u liT, in Tinli.i iiiir..oti..il 41, a cholera ho bent over the corpses in tht dissecting room without n thought of contagion. Baron Hirsch offered $10,000,000 for the public schoolti of Russia on condition that no distinction shall be mado iu the application of tho fund as to race or re-ligion. The offer was declined. Benjamin Hutterworth is tall, solidly Imilt and powerful, and his large head is covered with closely clipped, snow white hair. Ho is frank and direct in manner and likes a joke. His father was a Quaker. Lord Tennyson lirw n brother, Freder-ick, who is older than the poet. Ho him-self once essayed verso making, and pnli-lishe- d in 154 a book of poems, but with this effort he retired from the field of literature. Ye Cha Yuri, tho Corean charge d'af-faires ut Washington, never saw his two months old son, who died recently, as tbe Corean custom prevents a, father from seeing a child until three months after its birth. Tho wealthy railroad and telegraph manipulator, Inman, is a Kouthertisr, who caiiio to New York when tho war reached its end. Ilia income for a day now amounts to nearly as much as it did for a year then. Mr. Spurgeon gives but little timo to the preparation of his sermons. He sits in his study a couple of hours with his face buried in his bands; then goes to his desk, jots down n few headlines, nnd then ho is ready fur tho pulpit. Benjamin Constant is a blonde. His eyes are blue, liis noso pronounced ami tho lower part of his face is hidden by a drooping mustache and a pointed Van Dyko beard. Ho has more tho air of a business man than of an artist. It has been said of Senator Evarts that he is the only lawyer living who can eat a big public dinner, washed down with two or three bottles of wine, nnd rheo pore over law books till daybreak with-out showing signs of weariness. HISTOkV IlKlLATS I I SI IF. No one can revii-- the history of mini 'ni rilieu lii, i,i.m,rtr Itv the common experience of all iu the stubborn resistance they encountered from the non progressive elements to each. Even Paris, the most beautiful capital in the world, when it planned a reuovation under the third Nai'oi.kon, aroused the fossil specie to rebellion against ltarou IIal's&mam, who bad chargo of the improvements. The moss-back- s cried out against taxa-tion just as the mossbacks in all other cities do; yet no. sooner was the work accomplished and the modern crusadu turned Parisward than these same obstructionists wore the first to avail themselves of the pecuniary bene-fits resulting from the work they had cursed to the last. Washington city furnishes an exam-ple even more striking than Paris. Twenty years ago the national capital was a mud hole equal, perhaps, to Salt Lake today. A few publ-ic, buildings and the faith in the future were the only visible signs of her coining greatness, "ltoss" Siikpahd was driven into bankruptcy and exile by the wrath of the negative men. Ten years ago these saino people, having waxed rich meantime through his enterprising spirit, fairly crushed him with admiration wheu he rtvisited the place of his earlier labors. And who would today undo tho work he has accomplished? Chicago is another monumental evi-dence of the conquest of the positive and enterprising citizens. And as we come further west Kansas City, Omaha. Lincoln, Sioux City anil Denver may be named in a long list of communities who owe their domiuance to the pluck of enterprising men. It would be interesting to know in this connection how many promising places have fallen by tho wayside, while those niinicu (iii.siK-- u aneau, lor mo soie rea-son that tho negative men had tho pre- - pouderance of influence. Certain it ia that tho iirst step is tho most dillicult one. Once this is taken and the bene tits become apparent, then the reaction-ary set is willing to drown its cry of "burden and taxes" in tho general hosannah of elation. There is nothing iu thn alarm of the timid. Only in such cities as invited an Inflated boom, unwarranted by tho re sources of tho tributary country, did disaster follow in the wake of the boom. Hut even those examples are few when compared with those cities whose growth is substantial and euduring. Salt Lake belongs to the latter class and history is repeating itself here. Which way will we turn? Pt'iii.ic improvements are public ben-efits. A railroad, a city hall, sidewalks and schools sprout with tho spring. At any rate Drums & Williams are responsible contractors. "Their sureties would be good for $10, 000 ,000 including as they do such men as Senator Tabou, J. W. (iiiAiiAM, JoshTH II. Smith and G. (i. Sv.mks. "The hope of Utah now isneith-- r in the brains nor tho money of the ceu-ter- s neither in Ogdon nor in Salt Lai. j," shrieks the Logan Journal. "It lies in the ignorance and poverty and s tho adherence of the correct principles nf the outlying counties." That will do for Logan. Dknver is anxiously watching for the, return of spring in order to resume puving. For many years tho negative men prevented the improvement, until now it dawns upon their minus that this is the reason why Omaha and Kan-sas City and other rivals have shot ahead of their town. The negative men never yield to reason but only to demonstration. A Lawyer Surjirineil. It is not often that lawyer receives ottyr recognition of his services in be-half of a client than a retainer and fee. The feeling of most when they get tlrrough with a member of tho legal fra-ternity is more akin to sorrow than gratitude. A Court street attorney kits hail a contrary experience. One of his clients, an Irish woman, who had been Indicted several times, but never con-victed, dropped in on him with a pres-ent. It was a handsome siik innfllcr "But you've nlready paid ine, Mary," paid the lawyer. "Nivir mind, sor," she replied, "but tuck it around your foine throat an' knpo your tongue glib, for I may nadu tbim agin." Host an Traveler, Whrre Everybody Pray at Noon. If you wi-r- to go through a Tyroloso villujjo at 0 o'clock in ibo evening, you would hear from every cottage u hum like that of a hive of bees, every one, father mid mother, children and servants, saying their prayers. It is much the Miuio at noon, only then many of tho people are out of doora in the fields or iu their gardens. The church boll rings at 1!, and tJio mowers put down their scythes, and take off their cups, and fold thoir liaads iu prayer for about a minute and then go on with their work. TlliiOi';ii the testimony given before the coroiier'n jury on tho New York tuunel disaster, the lurid light of the iieudish car stove shines with baleful plow, Evidontly the horror would not have been one-hal- f so hideous had not these clumsy and dangerous stoves been on hand to put in their deadly work. Why not have them abolished at once, and let us hear uo more about them? Ever since they were put in U'-- we have had periodical cases of "roasted victims" of railroad accidents. 'The country ha had quite enough of this sort of martyrdom. Tim desert act as amended by the Fifty-firs- t congress is a decided im-provement over the previous law. A clause in the amendment allows claim-ants to different tracts to unite in the construction of irrigation works and thus do the amount of work made nec-essary under the law. This provision will enable settlers to form communi-ties or colonies, and by reclaim larpo bodies of contiguous lands, as under it a single persun may now acquire title to S'.'O acres of land, which is just double the extent allowed either under the obsolete pre emption or timber culturd acts. Thk little discussion current just now about jury duty, caused by the refusal of Jay Goru to serve, or to appear and show cause why he should not serve, is raising some very piquant queries. One of them is this: If a citizen becomes noted as a professional dodger of jury fluty, is he or is he not liable to other and severer discipline than that of a line? Judges always prompt to accept reasonable excuses are likely to apply any penalty which seems likely to hit tho caso of those who by their actions the impression that they con-sider themselves beyond the law.

While it is a matter of regret that tho public does not hear Mr. Bkigiiam often, it is with genuine pleasure that we hear of his intention to sing in the not distant future. Wc ean readily un-derstand how a young man actively engaged in business as is Mr. Hkmham should not desire to devote time to music lest it interfere with his regular culliug; but iu yielding to the wishes of his friends he will lose nothing nnd will gratify mauy who have never heard him sing. It was our good fortune to know Mr. Bhigiiam in Omaha and while Ids appearances in public were few he was always greeted with i ho utmost enthusiasm. He has never ventured beyond the domain of ballad style, but in this clasa of music ho stands alone. We look forward to his appearance with the grea.esl pleas-ure.
