When President F.i.iot held forth in St. Louis recently and imparted to tho native Missourians some of his ideas of culture they resented the interference and fairly insulted the distinguished head of Harvard university. Notwith-standing this incident which was well calculated to conlirm his preconceived ideas of our s state ho re-turned to tho classic shades of Cam-bridge doeply impressed with the prevalence of a high degree of intelli-gence in tho west. In an interview Professor Ki.iot expressed hiAiself upon this .subject thus: The advance which the west has mado In ed-ucational matters in the few yerirs Is marvelous. I was particularly linpreel with the rapid strides which ail the -- tate s have made. Tlicy havo advanced wntulerrnllv and have hn uler ami more cenerously ecpiipi ed Iu every way. These weet'rn coilefffs havo b"cn able, inniu to the trreut sclent Hie Improvements of tli-- j ' last twe ity years, to make an advance which It toolc our old Puritan fathers a couplo of centuries to complete. There is nothing remark ablo ia this ex-cept that it conies from an eminent source. Tho west is moving rapidly ahead so that ho who forms an idea of its status today may have came to re-vise it in ten years hence. The ratio of advance as fixed by 1'resiilent Ki.iot is as ten to one when compared with Xcw Kngland. Tho reasons therefor are not far to seek. The advantages which the great west offers prompts the best brain and blood ot the east to (lock hither and by contact with these au incentive for greater improvement is given to our homo people. Thus wo have in Salt Lake City for example a largo number of college bred men anil women in every occupation of life. Our univer-sity club is in a flourishing condition and yet it comprises but a fraclion of the great number eligible) to ils mem-bership. More than that; The theo-retical education received at such in-stitutions of learning as Mr. Ki.iot rep-resents, is supplemented by practical application and demonstrated in every day contact with the realities of life. Whereas in tho east a college graduate settles down in a musty oilieo to pursue a career of slow routine, he is hero thrown upon his own resources to cut one out for himself, and in this effort his best qualities become developed aud his strongest parts assert them-selves. Hence the marvelous advance noted by tho distinguished president. And if he had looked deeper down be-low tho veneer of a mere school educa-tion he might have found that the west-ern men and women are broader in their views, more liberal in their ideas, and far clearer in their minds, than their brothers and sisters, circum-scribed in their experience as they are, in the east. Hut to gather this infor-mation Mr. Ki.iot should not have stopped short iu Missouri. There is a j ested in the building up of tho city am! in the opening up of the mini's as the people are. The build lug of smelters does nut mean that their tonnage will bo lessened, bin ml her that their general Irafiic will he immensely increased. It will not do to dismiss the subject wilh a captious criticism of tho transportation eompu nies. They will meet the pcoplo of Sail Lake half way, bin it is not in the na-ture of things that a business of this kind should fall into tho lap of any place when tin) people of other places, with tireless energy and unfaltering determination, are driving to control it. W MELTING FACILITIES. Ono of tho first things Impressed upon the minds of mining men com-ing to Salt Lake City is that the smelting industry has not been ad-vanced as far as it should bo to corres-pond with the needs of the surrounding mining districts. The subject is one of the greatest importance to the business men and all property holders of this city, for in it is involved a leading feature of tho future prosperity of the j city. It is essential that public atten tion, should be directed to it in order if,. on the one hand, that our own people "v i hay be aroused to the necessity of se curing amplo facilities for treating the ores of the territory, and, on the other, that smelter men may be induced to investigate the advantages held out here for tho establishment of reduction plants. Tho ores produced in Utah are very largely of the most desirable kind for smelting purposes. The treat majority of them carry large per centages of lead and but few are of a refractory character. Kvidence of this is furnished by tho fact that large contracts aro being mado for shipment to Colorado works. The ores of that state are very commonly diflicult to treat. There are many lead producing properties there but thoir output is quickly absorbed and the smelting companies come into Utah to search for lluxing ores with which to overcome tho baryta, nulica aud other refractory elements so largely met with in the home product. It is not desired, neither could any one expect, to drive the Colorado and other outside buyers out of tho market. They will get a eertaiu portion of the Utah product, but the business should be and can be controlled here, the out-siders being made to bit! more sharply for tho tonnnge that they secure. There is no reason why mines producing im-mense quantities of free smelting ores within a few miles of this city should be compelled to rely on reduction works located hundreds of miles distant in neighboring stales. The business of Emelting the ores is too important to be permitted to remain under the control of outside concerns and Salt Lake can-not afford to sleep on a subject of such importance. It needs no argument to show that a largely increased business in this Hue can bo done here. Every mining man knows that the ores are within roach; the necessary fuel is available, aud there is no escape from tho conclusion that this is the point where the ore product of Utah should liud iis principal market. There may, though, bo some who do not realio that the major portion of the lienelit which Salt Lake should re-alize from the miuing industry of the territory will ho lost if tho smelt-ing business he not centered at this point. It is not intended to enter into an exhaustive review of the hearing that tho subject his upon the material interests of the city. The Blatomcmt of tho simple fact that there is a project to build a short line to the Tlntic district so that the product of that section can have a more direct route cast, will be sufficient to suggest lo the most thoughtless mind the necessities of tho situation. We do not hear of any short cuts being built to prevent ores from heing routed through Denver or Pueblo. Uailroads me built in Colorado to get tho pro-duct of the mines to those places; and it is incumbent upon Salt Lake City to got herself into a similarly command-ing position in relation to the mines of L'tah. It may be argued that tho railroads would discriminate against us in such Mi effort; but they could not overcome the natural advantages of this location if they were so inclined; while, as a matter of fact, they are us much inter- - Kx I'iiksiientOi.evki.ani'h last tariff epistle it) a clever bid lo tho farmers. "If tho farmer's lot is a hard one," he cries, "in his discouraging strugglo fur better rewards for his toil, are the. prices of his products to be improved by a policy which hampers trade in his best markets and invites competition of dangerous rivals?" No; but we are not aw are that tho importation of pauper made goods and the consequent closing of American factories will improve trade in this country, or tend to open new iniirL-d- fur nor enroelw ulirnrld The prices of the farmers' products are governed by tho inexorable laws of sup-ply and demand and it is unfortunate, yet true, that the increased acreage in India and Australia, makes our lest customer, Kngland, ever more inde-pendent of us. In the free coinage of silver lies the only remedy against the encroachment of those countries upon our industrial preserve, and that is the very remedy which Mr. ( lkvki.ami ileelares is injurious iu accordance with tho doctrine) of Wall street gam-blers. What a sophist tho is. LEAVING SICK BEHIND. Ktunley's Column Are Obliged to Desert Tliclr Dying Comrades. Early next inoniini,' Stimloy started off with his company, promising, to clear a path as well as ho could in order to en-able us to carry the boat sections through tho thick undergrowth. Stairs, Parke and I then made a careful examination of tho men and loads, and found that wo bhould be obliged to leave fifty-si- x men and eighty-on- e loads behind. Many of tho men were ho cowed und hopeless that they wished only to bo left to die- peace-fully whero they were. But any man who was at nil able to crawl along wo pawed as fit to travel, nnil those fifty-si- x men we left were near-ly till in the last stage of (starvation ami sickness. At nny rate, we thought that their chances of getting food would bo better it' they ciiuio with us, and nothing could be gained by remaining whero they Were. We h;:d great difficulty in getting tho men off with tho loads, and it was past midday before tho last of the caravan filed out of what is now known as Nel-son's starvation ramp. I find the fol-lowing words in my journal that morn-ing: "It is a truly terrible position for Nel-iwi- n to be left in; be has food only for three days, and will havo to exist on what ho can pick up in tho nhapo of fungi or roots. Wairs has left bhn a fish hook and lino, mid it is possiblo lie may get a few muall ihh, but the river is bo rapid mid full of bowlders that ho has but a Blight chanco of catching any-thing. ''.Meantime wo are going on with an exhausted and (starving column to try nnd find food in a trackless wilderness. Nelson is now so crippled from nlcera that ho cannot creep far from camp, and will have to di'is nd entirely upon what his two boys can manage to bring him. "Wo got off about two o'clock, and 8,'idly said goodby to jioor old Nelson, fur his position is very precarious and our chances of relieving him small; he has worked with us in good fellowship all these months, and now we are prac-tically abandoning him."

Tho news come all the way from airo of an important ti ml of royal mummies in the neighborhood ofThehe which must delight thu heart of Kgypt-o'ogists- . These mummies are frontline, no doubt, and having the advantage of extreme old ngo wo fear our native article cannot compete with them in the open market. On the other hand, however, our homo ass ortment is not stured away iu air tight cases under-ground, hut walks about in broad day-light clothed iu modern attire. Last autumn we ma le an accession of a learned professor who came to Salt Lake City lired with tho laudable ambi-tion lo establish here the largest mu-seum on earth. We fear he is missing thu ureat opportunity of his life in fail-ing to (stock his institution with tho precious spocimens of dried bodies still lo be found in these parts, for in a few years they will bo blown away by tho action of the new elements that tend to decompose them. When it was pro-posed to soil the old Fort block to a cor-poration for uso of a railroad depot those mummies held a conclave and re solved to defeat thu proposition because it was an infraction upon the spirit of yeoldon time under the benign rule of the Komksks and other ancient mun-urch- And behold: The railroad line into tho mining holds of the Deep creek country is held iu abeyance on account (if the motion. Then came the proposi-tion to erect a joint public building in Washington square and transform the cow pasture into a blooming park, when tho mummies again protested, for they dote on antiquities and will not brook in-novations." The mummies do not believe in public improvements. Why should they? The tribes of the Tiiotiiinks, Skti and Aiikmiotki'S walked in the mud and never onco did they cry out for pavements and sidewalks, although they were not supplied iu those days with arctic rubbers, but wore sandals, if, indeed, they did not walk barefoot before their kind. Pshaw! what is the uso of quarrying stone and squaring it into monumental blocks for the way-farer to ga.e upon in astonishment and delight, when clay ami straw, albeit adobe, might do as well. To be sure, (ho Egyptian mummies when they still moved in the flesh built pyramids and obelisks for posterity to marvel at, but they discouraged all other enterprise of im-mediate utility. Our native mummies do more than that. They actually col-lect a fund, swelled up to tho impos-ing size of 2j, to stop the wheels of progress and paralyze every effort at industry. These Egyptian mummies may bo an Interesting lot, but our homo collection is not a whit inferior in many points, and, what is better still, wo would be willing to dispose of them at a heavy discount. They are valuablo chiefly as remnants of a departed period and wo aro not particularly "stuck" on depart-ed periods. This is the era of progress in Salt Lake. Tiik Omaha Hee knows a good thing whin it sees it. That paper oilers seven prizes consisting each of a round trip ticket to some noted point of inter-est to parties soliciting tho largest num-ber of siiliseriptions. Among those noted points of interest, including and America, is Salt Lake, and tin" lien calls it justly a famous city and a booming city, and (larlield beach a delightful summer resort, ion is all of this and a groat deal more besides.

I'lAii.uoMis aro a good thin fur a conunnnity ; hut so are country roads, and while wu aro paying o niueh at-tention to the former let us Rive a little heed also to the hitter. With improved roads the intercourse between farm and city would be stimulated and facilitated nnd a souree of relief opened for both. Let n look after the country roads. Politics in Connecticut threatens to interfere seriously with fast cl ay, as soino people in the nutniej; state refuse to accept Governor Bulklky's; procla-mation as official. To meet this oppo-sition the governor should issue another proclamation enjoining it to fast, when, to bo consistent, it will refuse to partake of any food. Clerks I niler Surveillance. "Do yon see that man on the other j side of the street?" said ft friend who is employed in a downtown bank, while we were walking leisurely up Broadway ono evening last week. I glanced nt the man to whom my friend referred. "lie's a detective," be continued, "and he is following us or ' rather me. You seem surprised, but it Is a fact that every bank in this city has ono or two and sometimes three private detectives whose sole duty is to keep track of the doings of employes. It seems to be my turn to be followed now, as this man has been dogging me since yesterday. Tho watch will continno for several days lunger, and after reporting to the bank ho will be assigned to follow some one else. "Xot long ago one of our expert book-keepers sent word to tho bank that he was ill and could not corao to tho office, but the same day his resignation was re-quested. The fact is, ho had spent the night before in dissipation, nnd tho bank, having been informed of this by its de-tective, his dismissal followed. "Being dogged about like a criminal is not pleasant. But what can we do? When protestations are made against it the bank officials assure us that we are mistaken, that they do not hire men to watch us. Of course you can't expect them to admit it, but every bank clerk can tell you that such is the case." New York Herald. JuixiiNii from tho interview of tho colored editors with the president yes-terday, one of the new appeal judges will bo of their race. Which reminds us that even then eight more vacancies will havo to bo tilled and that Utah is still a part of the United States. Old and Young Great Men. Great ns have been some men who died young, who knows how much greater thvy would havo been had their lives been prolonged. Might in it Marlowo have rivaled Shakespeare? Yet possibly Byron had already given us his best, and Shelley and Keats might not have surpassed tin ir early efforts. Had the author of "Festns" died at S3 there would havo been lamentation as over Keats, but Bailey has lived half a century longer without producing c sec-ond poem. Tasso, though ho lived twen-ty years after "Jerusalem Delivered," never equaled that epic, written at 31. Still there aro men whoso longevity has certainly stood fur much. Michael Angelo showed astonishing precocity, but be owes to his eighty-nin- e years his great renown in painter, sculptor and sonneteer. Voltaire's fame, again, rests on the entirety of his writings, not on any single work, and the literary dicta-torship with which ago invested him. Cut oil twenty years of his life, and his fame would perceptibly shrink. Goethe, Emerson, Carlyle, Longfellow, Tenny-son, Hugo, Dumas all had the advan-tage of fullness of years, so as to be judged by bulk lis well as quality. Hum-boldt, too, owed to his ninety years a portion of his reputation. Tho true comparison would obviously be between works produced at the same age, or between men dying at about the samo age, but it is much, easier to test achievement than capacity. Perhaps the best bonks (in posse) have never been written, and we often fool that the men wero greater than their works. Who knows, moreover, what geniuses have died in childhood? Atlantic Monthly. Tonight's council will declare tho city's intention to lay sidewalks in the newly created districts, and thirty days thereafter the work will begin, never to be relinquished until it is accomplished. Ykstf.hdav's police docket indicates a laxity in the Sunday saloon closing observance. The law worked well dur-ing the few weeks it was enforced. What is tho matter with it now? A stif a v scraper was busy this morn-ing cleaning the muddy street cross-ings. Grant that we convert tho street supervisors' salary of $'.'!00 to that pur-pose, what would be tho result? Phovo will havo a democratic revi-val conducted by Salt Lako braves. As reciprocity is the policy of tho day why couldn't Provo help out the languish-ing Tammany hall of Zion? The Very First American Hallway. The first railroad built in tho United States was three miles in length, extend ing from the granite quarries at Qtiincy, Mass., to the Jfeponsett river. It was commenced in lHJii awl finished in 1827. Tho gauge was five feet. The rails were pine, a foot thick, covered with hard oak, which was in turn strapped with iron. In January, 1827, a short coal rond was completed from tho mines to Atanch Chunk, Pa. The "rails on this road were also of 'timber, with flat iron bars. The first locomotive for uso on a railroad was invented by Kichard Previ-tecl- c in JHOi, aud first tried in Walts. Ooorgo Stephenson built tho first really successful locomotive in 1811, and tested it upon the Killingwood road in the north of England, The first loco-motive for actual service constructed in America was Ii I. Miller's "Best Friend," built for the South Carolina Railroad company in 18:!0. Peter Cooper built a littlo experimental locomotive early in 18o0, before the "Best Friend" was completed.

It is a matter of wonderment to many what becomes of the tons upon tona of dairy butter piled up year after year in tho wholesale grocery stores and cm mi-ni ispion houses of our cities, and which tho average American would not allow on bis table. "Tho poorer tho butter the further it goes," said a largo butter dealer of this city, as ho packed rolls and prints of various colors and sizes in a' Migar barrel lined with butter cloths. "That expresses it in inoro ways than one. Good bntfer always finds a ready market here at home; it never goes beg-ging for buyers at any time of the year, but packing grado goiy to the end of tho earth. The contents of this barrel will go to South America." "Not just as it is';" "No; it will undergo manipulation. Tho firm to whom this is to be shipped melt down this grade of butter and pack it in Kiass jars. By the time it reaches a South American port it is of about tho same consist eiicy us oli vo oil. The South Americans use it on their bread as wo u-- o butter. A lariio proportion of pack-ing stock shipped from the northwest goes ultimately to European countries." Xorth WestTrado. Wk do not look with so much appre-hension ns wo once did upon the meet-ings of the city council since tho dispo-sition is manifest to go ahead. : WllKTllKit parading under the name of Malia or White Caps the self conti- - tuted executioners should be sup- - pressed. .

Today ho in one of Bangor's wealthy citizens. "Times have changed," in they fay, since Mr. Triekey began his operations. Mai no was really tho "Pino Tree State" then. In eight years Mr. Triekey cut o3, 000,000 feet of pine on land that now constitutes tho towns of C'armc-l- , Keudu-kea- g and Levant, where hardly a pino is to bo seen. At that time there were no roads, and all the provisions wero taken tip tho river in ' li;its, BiHfial crews being employed for that purpose. Lewinton Journal.
