Under the caption of "Mines and Pros-perity," The Si.t Lak Timks had an edi-torial on the mining Interests of Utah and their effect on the city of Salt Lake. Thoise are the kind of articles that do the leading In-dustry of this genuine benefit and, at the same time, show what Is going to support tho IncreateJ population of the metropolis. When the Salt Lake papers nil fall Into line and treat the milling Interests of the territory Impartially much good will he accomplished. l'.irk City Record. Just so. Jiut the Salt Lake papers will not 'fall into line and treat tho mineral interests of the territory." because they arc too busy reciting an-cient history. Some day when through the efforts of Tiik Timks the mines of Utah shall echo with the sound of picks and powder blasts ihey will rub their eyes and wonder at tho changes that were wrought during their Kip Van Winkle sleep all round about them. However we notice with pleasure that a lively interest in "Utah mines and prosperity" is being awakened through the vigorous advocacy of The Timks and that its editorials on this subject are being quoted far and wide, such enterprising papers as the Ogden Union giving them leading place in full. That is the way to work together. That is the way to do good to the greatest num-ber. Owning as we do the richest mines in the country nothing but a concerted effort to bring them to the notice of the world is required to insure us an epoch of unequalled prosperity. To that end The Timks will labor un-ceasingly and it will be glad to receive the of all its contempora-ries. In unity there is strength. THE FREE LANCE. Self praise, tho old proverb has it, is half scandal. Tiik Timks is too modest to praise itself. Neither is there any need of it, since compliments like the following continually pour in upon it: Bai t Lakh City, l et). 11- .- Manager Philips: Accept my conKratulationB for the enterprise displayed by Thk Timks management today in giving the public nearly six columns of the death and life of (leneral Sherman In so short a time after bis death, lie died at U:p. tn. and hy I: If. p. m. the news boys were on the streets with over five (Oluuins of matter about the great man's death. With such a paper nothing of importance can happen on the irulted Stales map that we won't know In a few minutes. Hespectfully, W, K. Giiibs. It may be proper to add that the feat has never been equalled in Salt Lake City. -- "It is a wise child that knows its father." It seems moreover be is a wise man who knows his race. Cer-tainly the editor of The Times is pleas-ed toget some information about his. such as neither he nor bis parents nor anybody else liable to know anything about it, ever dreamed of. Only the genesis is not quite clear. So far as the Free Lance can trace it it started with a reporter of the Tribune (whether from malice or ignorance we know not) and then passed over to a leper from Michigan and through him to the Herald. Yet notwithstanding this dubious origin the editor of The Times is curious enough to ask for particulars. There never was a more pregnant motto written than the Greek "know thyself.'" The editor is anxious to get that knowledge which previous to the advent of the reporter and the leper he apparently did not possess. However it is true he is mutilated. The leper evidently fell into a truth una-wares. Pension certificate No. 3!I0,07U says he is mutilated sixteen dollars' worth a month. The leper never will be mutilated except from rot. - - - Iu view of the possibility that the Rev. David Utter may become the first permanent pastor of the Unitarian church in Salt Lake city, the following memorial, fouud in a Chicago papor, will be read here with interest: The retirement of the Reverend David ftter from the pastorate of the First Unitarian society of Chicago, affords ttie members an opportunity to express their appreciation of his work as a pastor, as well as the affection-ate remembrauce in which he will always be held hy the active membership of the society. The elKht years of Mr. Utters ministry in Chicago have been years of intelligent de-voted and conscientious service in the cause of liberal Christianity. Hrtnsrlng to bis work the zeal which should always actuate a christian minister, he has added the qualification of rliie "holarsnlp, tireless Industry and a spirit of the broadeet and most oathollc toleration, We remember 11N0. and we read with grate-ful appre latlon the fact, that from the begin-ning to the end of his ministry his work has froe from everything partaking of sensa-tionalism and from any effort to aclileveatmu-poMr- y siu'cess at the expense of a more en- - duriiiKieputution. Combining in his charac-ter the elements of nl olnte sincerity In his lellglnus convictions and of absolute fearless-ness in their expression, tempered only with a spirit of ju-- toientuoe toward those of oppos-ing faiths, without ostentation and without thought of lf. he ha modestly dune his work nnd borne his part In the religious lite of a great citv. Nor In'th hour of partins with a beloved pastor would we fall t.) give expression to our eteem for her who has been a helpmeet In nil t he vears of his ministry among ns. The quiet lnllueuce of that devoted wile aud mother whose life illustrates the grace of a cultivated christian womanhoKi, scarcely felt In the beginning. haBCometobe a recognized factor lu ihe religious and social work of the church. - - - In the society column of The Times on Saturday we read: "Sunlight ?otil-lion- s have lately become all the rage in Brooklyn, N. Y, They commence at 3 in the afternoon and last till 6. These entertainments seem to be based on good sound senso as one is not obliged to lose sleep as at other cotillions which lasts till 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning." Nevertheless the 3 p. m. cotillion will nover become popular in this country. It may be in Kurope where there is a large idle class constantly on parade, but not in the United States where it is difficult even now to scare up young men enough for the night cotillion. AN EXPENSIVE WAR. The late Indian war cost tho United States government more than :,000,00). It would have been much cheaper to give the Indians what was due them. Cincinnati Enquirer. Now that accounts are all in, it is dis-covered that the late Sioux war cost tho government $2,000,000. It would have cost much less to give the Sioux their full rations. Pittsburg Dispatch. The expense of the campaign against the Sioux Indians is estimated by the war department to be about $2,000,000. And the result? Well, it is not very creditable to the present administra-tion, whatever It may be. Dubuque Herald. General Miles thinks justice was tem-pered with mercy in the Sioux "war." Certainly something was tempered with $2,000,000 from the treasury, but it is the geneaal impression that neither justice nor mercy was got for tho nomey. St Louis Republic. There is one tbing the cost of which has not been increased by the McKin-ley law. it used to be said that it cost the government $1,000,000 to kill an Indian, whereas over two hundred of them were killed in South Dakota at the merely nominal cost of $2,000,000. Buffalo Courier. The experience has been bitter and costly enough, and what adds to its bitterness is the reflection that it is en-tirely chargeable to the administration of Indian affairs, the honesty of which the president has lately taken timely occasion to vindicate, but the efficiency of which is still wide open to vindica-tion.

When tho McKinloy tariff bill became a law the cablo was kept bot with threats of retaliation from foreign coun-tries. First came Italy, which would not recognize tho world's fair; then fol-lowed Austria, Germany and Franco, who proposed a combination against the alleged outrage, and finally England gave vent to low mutterings of discon-tent and reprisal. One by one, Irow-eve- r. the disgruntled nations calmed down, until the last one of them, Eng-land, averred last week, through Mr. Goshen, in reply to a question in the house of commons, that the government had no intentions of adopting a policy of tariff retaliation against tho United States. Thanks! But really there nover ex-isted any danger from such a measure. Even (he free traders didn't believe it did. Pray, what can the foreigners ex-clude that they have not already ex-cluded, or tax what they have not al-ready taxed, of American products? England, especially, could not place re-taliatory duties upon our goods without ruining her trade. She needs our cotton, cattle and provisions much more than we need her manufactures which, through the McKinley bill, we propose to foster at home more than ever. Mr. Goshen said it was hoped that the Americans themselves would perceive the mistake they hail made in enacli-in- g the new tariff. That is more kindly anyway than threats of retaliation which does not retaliate; more kindly to Great Britain than to the United States. RECIPROCITY WITH BRAZIL. We may now look for cheaper coffee. President Harrison yesterday issued a proclamation announcing the conclu-sion of a treaty of commercial recipro. city with Brazil and modifying; our tariff laws to conform thereto. e put coffee, sugar, tea, hides, etc., from Brazil on the free list, while Brazil re-duces import duties upon American products to the extent of about five millious annally, which is all she is able to do in her present financial condition. After all this preliminary discussion, reciprocity has actually begun to reciprocate. St. Paul Pioneer-Press- . Tho fact that the quantity of sugar imported from Brazil is less than one-fift- h of the quantity imported from Cuba will make the sugar trade ex-tremely auxious as to the probable ac-tion of Spain. It is expected that the step taken by Brazil will force Spain to come to terms satisfactory to tho "dis-cretion" of the president. In the mean time who knows whether Cuban sugars will be put on the free list or not? What a line field has been opened to the speculators? Buffalo Courier. Perhaps it would not be extravagant to guess that Brazil will pay $25,000,0(10 for products of the United States in 1891. We trust that this proclamation may be speedily followed by similar announcements 'affecting our trade re-lations with the Argentine republic Chili, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba and Canada. Protection modified by recip-rocity of this continent. Detroit Trib-une. But so long asthe McKinley bill is on tho statute books the general manu-facturers of tho United States cannot hope to protit very much. The tariff law so greatly adds to the cost of their products that tho removal of South American import taxes cannot enable tbem to compete with foreign-mad- e goods. The McKinley bill is a constant menace to our foreign commerce, and was meant to be New York World. This treaty is one of the first fruits of the new tariff law. It will be worth millions of dollars annually to the United States. It will give this country a large trade with Brazil which hereto-fore has gone to Europe. The advan-tage of this to the American farmer, manufacturer and merchant is too obvious to require comment. Burling-ton Ilawkeye. The shipping bill is now more than ever entitled to prompt transmission to the president for his signature. A reciprocity treaty with a nation to which we have no railroad, but must send by water, without a ship-ping bill, is like a law that is a dead letter because no money is appropriate d to execute it. New York Press. This, according to the tenets of pro tectionisin. will till the poor houses of both Brazil and this country, for recip-rocity is free trade, pure and simple. The "administration ought to let the people know why it has taken down the tariff bars between the United States and Brazil. Ha rrisburg Patriot. This is great news for the republican party and for the country and for the countries south of us. All honor and praise to our great secretary aud to President Harrison, who has sus-tained Mr. Blaine in pushing the all American policies that will open the grandest aud most prosperous era ever known on earth. New York Mail and Express. The first ray in the dawn of the new era in the foreign trade of the United States flashes across the continent in the president's proclamation of reciprocity with Brazil. This, using some of the language of Secretary Blame, means a market for a good many bushels of wheat and bj$y' pork. Pittsburg Times. (' Brazil get'a'ahead of all other conn-trie- s of the continent in securing a reciprocity treaty with the United Slates. Her triumph is by a "neck" onlv, however, as some of the other nations will undoubtedly enter into a similar arrangement with us before the year ends. St. Louis Globe-Democra- We make our compliments to Mr. Harrison with the hope that he will like the degree of free trade in which he indulges and waut more of it. And we can assure him that the more he gives the people of this country the more they will be pleased. New York Herald. This indicates the successful begin ning of the American zollverein, the mere prospect of which awakened such formidable resentments in Europe-.an-we may now expect fresh echoes of dis-content from the old world. New York Journal. The free traders will feel very un-comfortable as they recognize that the largest and most important South American country has at once joined hands with us in a practical and reason-able scheme of reciprocity. Toledo Blade. This nation is back of Mr. Blaine in his brilliant and practical and patriotic policy, A few years from now the carpfnir opponents of that policy will be silenced by its accumulating commer-cial benefits. Minneapolis Journal. Brazil has been sagacious in provid-ing for its own interests and generous ia providing freer trade with us than we permit ourselves with other coun-tries. New York Times. Mr. Blaine has very largely widened the markets of this country and opened up a rioh field for the products of the American farmer. Bloomington Leader. . Movement of tha 400, Special to Thk Timks.

The New York Sun, the only notable silver advocate in New York, received from a Washington correspondent a re-view of the silver situation which is probably as near correct as any yet presented. It says: The free coinage republicans in the house have become convinced that they cannot pass an un-limited free coinage bill, and an effort is now making to compromise on free coinage of the American product with a soigniorage on foreign silver equal to tho difference between the coin and the market value of the silver. About fifteen of the republicans who are favorable to silver, though not ab-solute free coinage advocates, mot last night at the residence of Mr. Townseni of Colorado and went over the situa-tion pretty thoroughly. There was a count of noses and it was found more than fifteen republicans, or four in ex-cess of tho number who voted with Mr. Bland last week, could be induced to voto for free coinage and that it was very probable four or five votes would be gained by the gold men on tho democratic side. A nnmber of excuses were made by re-publicans at whom the silver men di-rected their missionary efforts. The elections bill cut the biggest figure with them. They said that while they were personally favorable to silver, they would see tho "traitors" in a hot place before they wou Id vote for a measure of so vital importance to them. It can be stated with safety that the republican leaders in the, house will permit this compromise scheme to come up in the last week of the session only on the distinct assurance from the free coinage republicans in the senate that there shall be no further agitation on this question at the next congress. To this proposition Senator Teller and others will not assent, for the reason that they believe nothing less than absolute free coinage will put an end to silver specula-tion, "which injures the miner by com-pelling him to sell at low rates," and that free coinago can bo obtained any-how next session. While eanvassing this latter proposition the free coinage republicans hold themselves at liberty to take advantage of every opportunity which may be presented in the house, and until their proposition is accepted they will keep up the fight on the lloor. The anti-silve- r men are preparing for a vigorous fight whenever the free coin-age bill may be sprung on the house, and Mr. Walker has prepared a rule to require not less than twenty-fou- r hours' notice before any measure can be taken up out of order. Ci.aof.tt's little game to pose as sen-ator elect from Idaho was clogged by Secretary Finkbam and we believe the Eupreiue court will sustain him. The snow in the mountains will soon begin to melt and then the mines will begin to lay bare theirs treasures. There are millions in them that will como out in this year of our Lord 1801. As once Napoleon's health was a ba-rometer of values on 'xchange, so is Jay (lould's now; only the little wizard is a greater Napoleon than Louis ever was. John L. Sullivan's strong right hand comes high, but for $25,000 he says Slavin can get it. After tho fight Si.a-vi- n might give $23,000 to havee scaped it. SPIRIT OF THE UTAH PRESS.
