Show I 4 THE SALT LAKE TIMES. WEDNESDAY, "JAS LT Alt 7, itm. thk cirv H.ll.L. We wish Mr. Parson's motion to joet the committee report regarding the city ball building hail prevailed In the council last night. Having failed in that wo hope tho special mooting called for Friday next will give tho report its quietus. Let us soe what ' the report means. 1. That the plans of Mr. Apponyi bo adopted. That Is equivalent to a con-fession that Mr. Apponyi was unjustly dealt with. If his plans can be adopted now they should have been adopted in the first place and be should have re-ceived tho full benefit of his work. 2. That Mr. Kletling bo employed as architect and superintend the job, provided satisfactory arrangements can be made. The latter clause is absurd. His em-ployment would not be urged if tho ar-rangements, witli him were not known to be satisfactory. We don't know of any reasons why Mr. Kletling should bo singled out to carry out the plans of Mr. Apponyi. As we understand it Mr. Apponyi's plans wcro rejected by competent ar-chitects as defective in several vital points, and for that reason he was relieved from his duties. For that reason too The Times approved of his dischargo from the employ of the city. If the defects were less material than we supposed, and they could be corrected without altering the main plans, then it would have been cheaper to retain Mr. Apponyi, and save all the delay and rumpus we have suffered on account of his removal. If, ou the other band, the defects were as gross as stated, wo would not. want the building to proceed at the risk of proving an ar-chitectural abortion when finished, simply for the satisfaction of employ-ing Mr. Klotting as its superintendent. Councilman James as one of the spokesmen of Kletling said he "did not want this building delayed any longer. Tho expense incurred already was over $8300, and if the matter was thrown opeu for competition all this would be lost." We do not want the building delayed any longer than Mr. Jamos. As for the $8500, they are lost beyond recall any way, but we differ from him in the matter of compo-tion- . The proposition of Mr. Kletting is: (1) $2000 for revising and perfecting specifications; (2) one and one-hal- f per cent of the cost of the building for su-perintending the construction of the same; (!!) the architect to guarantee that the building shall not cost over $:!oo,ooo. VVe cannot seo but what several ar-chitects in Salt Lake would be willing to try their genius on the same terms and the council will then have the col-lective skill of the profession in- - stead of tho single opiuion of Mr. Kletting. He is not excluded from competition and if his Ideas and terms are superior to all the others they will prevail. That ought to be satisfactory to him and nothing less will be satisfac-tory to tha people. Moreover if Mr. Apponyi's plans were radically wrong as we believe or were lod to believe they were, we want them radically cured and for that purpose all tho architects should be permitted an in-sight into them. There will be no delay except that which the council itsolf may cause by its folly. We beileve that at the joint meeting on Friday prudent and patriotic counsel will prevail. out proper disposition began firing promiscuously with the result notod by General Mi tap, the Indians probably responding as a matter of Under tho circumstances It will perhaps never be known how many troopers full from the. bullets of their own com-rades or from those of the enemy. It is a pretty mess this whole Indian war. The telegraphic correspondence be-tween Generals Scholleld and Miles shows that it was General Miles who caused the suspension and investigation of Colonel Forsyth because of his de-fective disposition of the troops due to which "a large number of soldier.! w ere killed and wounded by the lire of their own ranks, and a very large number of women and childron were kiik'd in addition to the Indian men." This disclosure from the highest ollicial au-thority is decidedly interesting. After this we shouldn't bo surprised if it turns out that the Indians were not the aggressors at all. It has always been a source of amazement to those knovv-in- g something of Indian warfare that the hostiles should have attacked a su-perior number, handicapped as they were by their women and children, when they might have made a better fight before they surrendered in the bad lands to a much inferior force. It is not impossible that the troop-ers misinterpreted the throwing down of the blankets by the Indians as a signal for hostilities to open and with. THE SALT LAKE TIMES.

If thc court should de- - olare in favor of plaintiff the amount of confederate scrip hold in England, and which would be thrown upon the mar-ket, would be enough to reimburso the people in that country for all the losses it sustained during the recent panic. Several years ago British agents through tho southern states buying up confederate paper by the weight. Maybe they had some such action as that brought by Van Kaulte then in view. There is fortunately no fear that any court of justice in the United States will legalize the scheme. Font of our banks remain outside the clearing house, thus reducing our finan-cial standing before tho eyes of the country. In other cities not only the banks within its strict corporate limits but of adjacent points help to swell the total. Thus Kansas City draws heavily on her namesake on the Kansas side of the river. Omiliaon South Omaha, and so on. By and by when we shall have completed the first year of our clearing house record and comparisons will bo made each week with the showing of the previous year the absence of any bank wi'.l be detrimental to lit. But wc are confident that long ere then all our banks will be members of the clear-ing house. AEBIVAL8 AND CLOSE Of MAILS.

Evf.k since tho election in New Hampshire the democratic press of tho wholo country lias waxed wrath and furious over the "force and fraud" which tho republicans of that state tried to perpetrate on their party. Alas that thoir righteous indignation was to be crushed in the bud by a decision of the supremo court in which the democratic judges concurred. Clerk Jewett may now proceed to read the call of member-s- elect. The dogs did not haro much of a chance in the council last night. Arlzoua Objeota of Antiquity, Arizona Republican. Arizona has a priceless treasure in her reruaius of the Toltec eta. The ancient castles, dwellings and irriga-tion works are rapidly vanishing under the unsparing hand of tho modern far-mer in tho irrigable valleys, and the writer knows of instances where the cedar floors of elaborate cliff dwellings have been burned for no other purpose than to "smoke out" a swarm of bees and thus secure tho honey stored in the recesses of the cave. Such reckless destruction of that which cannot be re-placed should be, at the next sitting of the legislature, constituted a crime against the state. The records of an-tiquity have not as yet but imperfectly searched in this territory, and it would be commendable, both from patriotic and scientific points of view, were the legislature to institute measures look-ing to a compilation of data and col-lection of relics in connection with the o races of Arizona. Forsyth's failure will not enhance Miles' plan to replace a number of In-dian agents with army officers. And now the 'ez I'erces are danc-ing. A few years ago they made Gen-eral Howard dance after them all over the country. ' Those who fought "mit Sigel" will find him on the pension roll pretty soon hereafter, the committee on invalid pensions having suggested it. - The more the failure of Banker Kean is exposed, the deepor grows the con-viction that a sanctimonious fraud is the most unscrupulous and cold blooded fraud of all. In Nebraska the temporary speaker of the legislature is without education or experience. That, in tho opinion of the alliance majority, may particularly fit him for the place. Flamb tha Style af Tta leaalor.'' ' New York Star. The senator is likely to become as much a bore to Senator Plumb of Kan-sas as "Marching Through Georgia" is to General Sherman, or the "Camp-bells are Corain' '.' to Governor Camp-bol- l of Ohio. "About every third man I meet," he said to me the other night, "asks me if I've seen Tho Senator, and then trie, to qui, me about it. In truth, I sup pose, in a general way, I was taken as the type of The Senator, but ho departs very far from reality when in one act he puts on a stovepipe hat, far I have never worn ono in my life. Tha inci-dent of the old claim has ulsn a basis of fact in some Mexican war claims which I put through, but without the romantic and sentimental attachments which the playwright has grouped around it." II 1 1. 1, or NKW YORK. Governor Hill of New York Is a sly one, and the democratic brethren who try to consign him to a back seat in 1892 will find him hard to repress. W hen last autumn the empire st ate emerged from the election with a democratic majority of two in the legislature, which was to choose a successor to Senator Kvarts, it was at once proposed that Governor Hill be the man. But he said them uay. Lately a movement was set on foot, apparently favored by tho doughty governor himself, since his own paper, the Sun, rapturously indorsed it, to run him for a third term as chief executive of the empire state, but it seems be has suddenly discovered an African In the woodpile, and be takes advantage in his message to serve notice upon the faithful that he cannot be their candidate again. Nothing short of the presidential nomination will do Brother Hill, and be for one does not propose running any risk of being knifed in the meantime. In this deter-mination the wily politician will be sustained by "the boys" who idolize him, as they well might, for he is ono of them, Dave is. But oh, for the heart-burning that this resolution will cau.se in William street, the habitation of Dana's stuffed prophet. By the way, what business has the governor of New York to approve or denounce, or in any other way notice officially, the Election bill still pending before congress? As a private citizen he has the right of his opinion but in what respect does a federal measure, not yet made a law, come tinder the censure of tho governor of any state in his annual message to the legislature? Mr. Hill is not president of tho United States, and for that matter he never will be. and until then ha might as well defer his messages on national sub-jects. If Governor Hill needs must bo in-dignant over an election bill he might cast his weather eye on Tammany hall and compose himself. Confusion seems to mark the meet-ing of most of the state legislatures now in session. Not everywhere as in New Mexico can the democrats steal the ma-jority and walk off with it. Like all ponderous bodies, congress is slow to move, but it looks, neverthe-less, as if the United States army was to have a lieutenant-genera- l before the end of this session of congro?f. - i It was scarcely necessary for Senator Vest to deny the assertion that Cleveland had recanted bis views on silver. Mr. Cleveland's office is too closo to Wall street, New York. We congratulate Pastor Thrall on the success of his church during the past year as evidenced by his letter of It is likewise an evidence of the growth of Christianity in Salt Lake. As soon as the stringency in the east-ern money centers relaxes the inflow of capital will be felt in Salt Lake City in the greater activity of real estate and in all other fields of enterprise. Ix view of its large city circulation, surpassing that of any two papers, Special Notices, such as For Sale, For Kent, etc., published in The Times, reach the greatest number. A word to the wise is sufficient. Tn article on Emma Abbott as a child, in another column of The Times, is the recollection of Mrs. Dr. McN'iece, who knew the prima donna long, well and favorably. It is a graceful tribute paid to a dead friend. i Gband Mastfb Workman I'ow-pkr- lt is in clover again, for he sees in the alliance movemnnt a chance for Grand Master Workman Powderly, un-mindful of the fact that he has ceased to be of any consequence long ago. The calumnies upon Salt Lake started In homo papers for political ends are being reproduced by the press of other cities. Just so. And then the calum-niators print the reproductions to show what a sinful old town this is forsooth. We opine that the worst element in this community is not to be found among the foot-pad- s and tin horns. All the rhetoric in the senate will not change a single vote nor modify a ingle view on the silver question. The speeches are all calculated for the home consumption ot the gentlemen's con-stituents. Some of these constituents might, however, be open to conviction. As the sentiment is in the senate today a free coinage bill will pass without doubt. When it reaches the house then will c&me the tug of war. |
