Show THK KKAL KSTATE EXCIIANOE. During the booin days of a year ago tho need for the organization of a real estate exchange beeamo urgent for the protection of dealers from curbstone brokers who paid neither license nor rent, ami for the protection of custom-ers from the same irresponsible gentry, and from certain legitimate agents no less unscrupulous. It was a movement that gained inertia from the moment it was started until it culminated iu the present organization. It was not ex-pected that the real estate exchange would do more than to facilitate the ex-change of business between its mem-bers and customers and adjust any dif-ferences that might arise arrioug tho former. At that time real estate was active, agents were nu-merous and prosperous, and it was not dilHeult to secure members of tho ex-change, the number joining in the be-ginning reaching almost a hundred. Since then, however, tho speculative market has declined and a great many real estate agents nbandoned the busi-ness, while others who remained in it lost interest in the exchange because they could not derive any direct benefit from it.- And thus It came to pass that tho membership gradually decreased until yesterday an executive meeting was held in which the situation was thoroughly canvassed as a preliminary to decisive action one week later. Wo believo it would be uothing short of criminal folly to allow tho real es-tate exchango to collapse. Even thoughthe special buinoss for which it was established has dwindled down, thu exchange as a promoter of the best material interests of thS city has never (lagged in its loyally and activity. If anything, it has extended its usefulness to wider lields and larger enterprises. The time will come when a real estate exchange riovoted to tho purposes for which it was originally designed will he an imperative need in Salt Lake, and for that reason alone the present organization should be kept in-tact. It is easier to build up than to rear anew. If the real estate men proper are unable to maintain it, we believe that in view of the good work it has accomplished for the community as a whole, it will have no difficulty in eecuring outside support long enough to tide over the present depression. SEN 4. rOKS-KI.Rl'T- . Of all tho tidal wave legislatures but oue so far has chosen a senator and his election was conceded from the stall provided only he desired tho office. We mean Governor Hill of New York. It is quite adeclino from Evarts, the jurist, to Hill the politician, but even politi-cians have their uses in congress and the governor may fit himself to his new surroundings in time. The attention of the country is now rivctted upon tho coutestt in Illi-nois and Kansas. In the former state the balloting il going on without ap-parent prospect at an early settlement, General Palmer polling the entire dem-ocratic vote of 101 and Governor Oglesby the entiro republican vote of 100, which gives to the three farmers the balance of power causing a deadlock which must con-tinue until the farmers relent or provi-donc- o Interferes. Both Palmer and Oglesby are men of mark, only the latter is more popular and nearer in accord with the alliance, so that when the break comes we hope it will be in his favor. In Kansas the prospects aro decidedly gloomy for Ingalls. It is there that tho new parly had made its greatest contests, and intoxicated by its success seems determined upon a gen-eral policy of demolition. Balloting will commence on Monday. Where the party majorities re-main the same tho legisla-tures ihow a disposition to return tho old senators, as was done yesterday in the case of Voorhees, Piatt, Vest, Cameron, Teller, Mitchell, and others. Only tho erratic Blair was relegated to private life. Perhtps he deserved to be, although the ridicule heaped upon bim by the newspapers was never wholly deserved. Altogether we belive the reorganized senate will bo little changed in per-sonc- ll and less in brains. fixes the Industrial status of a city and in the ranks of trade and labor is to be sought and found the Index to the pres-ent and future prosperity of a commun-ity. It Is useless to say that Salt Lake Is assured of both. These aro the men. Hut what shall be said of the women, tho bright, the fair, the lovely and the intelligent women of Zion? Any description of them would naturally bo inadequate. It is therefore that Salt Lake holds a high place, in the industrial, intellectual, moral, educational and charitable de-velopment of the country and it is of the happy union of material and personal advantages that the esti-mate of her is constantly improving. HALT LAKE MEN AND WOMK.V. It would be manifestly improper to deal in personalities, but if names were required in proof of our assertion that Salt Lake City is blessed with superior men in every walk of life.they could bo forthcoming without difficulty. In point of material resources and natural attractions we believe it is agreed that the capital and metropolis of Utah is ahead of any western city; but it is equally as true with regard to the mon who must utilize these advantages in order to make them available The bench and bar of Salt Lake Citv enjoy an enviable reputation all through the country. Among the law-yers hero are some who would rise to distinction in any community. The same thing m;.v be said of the medical profession. While tho city is not yet large enough to permit many physi-cians to devote themselvos to special diseases, yet there are some who do, while others excel in surgery and in general praotice. Owing to the peculiar religious con-ditions obtaining here, this city has al-ways had a strong pulpit which has suf-fered uothing by the new accessions re-cently made. So our schools, since the new system was introduced last year, and our colleges, prove the superior ca-pacity of tho superintending and con-trolling powers. In the railroad field there is no lack of competent men. Indeed, the rail-road problem to be solved in thiscoun- - try demands a high order of ability and we have never yet been able to dis-cover that the supply fell short of the demand. It is scarcely necessary to speak of the bankers whose wisdom and probity stand out in bold relief whenever difficulty overtakes the country, and some of whom understand the science of finance and economy in its widest ramification. As to the business men jobbers, wholesalers and retailers anyone fa-- ' miliar with the city could name a list of old established or newly flourishing firms whose integrity and are enterprise alike beyond compare. Salt Lake is justly proud of her commercial rec-ord established and maintained by men. It is the wage earner however who THE SALT LAKE TIMES. """UTHE TIMES P0BLI3HI53 OOMPAHT. ; i.

On tho show bills and the stage Lotta appears to bo sweet 10, while in reality tho frisky soubretto is more than throe times that ago. However, she is just as prankish as when, under the name of Miss Crabtree, she delighted the Cali-fornia miners way back in the (ifties, with her coquettish ways and songs, and received in return a shower of ap-plause mixed with a more substantial shower of gold dust. This was a great many years r.go but the welcome double shower has never failed to ac-company Lotta in all her miscellaneous wanderings since, and she is today rich both in popularity and worldly goods. Wo wish Manager Hurt would hire a few able-bodie- detectives to suppress the hoodlums in the heaven who ex-press their approval of an actor or actress In hideous catcalls that make tho strongest men nervous and a nerv-ous woman hysterical. We commend him iu that respect to the Tabor opera houso in Denver. Tho gallery gods in that temple of tho Muses msy grow en-thusiastic to their hearts' content, hut they must not become atrocious. That is reserved for the college boys and the Sioux. Our enterprising fellow citi.en Heber J. Grant spoke in the Provo meeting house last Sunday in his church capaci-ty of apostlo on a subjoct that interests gentiles no less than saints, and Sail Lake City no le,s than Provo. ilia theme was home manufactures and he showed how anxious people were to Invest in institutions promising imme-diate though slow returns on their money, without doing any particular good to the community at large, while they refuse to aid in enterprises of greater promise and moment butilower in yielding prolits. Stock in a bank, for example, is readily subscribed for by business men while factories are slighted. Mr. Grant is right. Fort Douglas car line will be a most desirable addition to our excel-leu- t system of electric street railways, not only because il will connect the military post with the city and enliven the intercourse between the army and citizens, but because it will make Mt. Olivet cemetery easily accessible. Hosts of people will visit their departed dear who hitherto were unaolo to perform their duty of love because of tho di in getting there. Especially in fine weather the patronage of the new line which will open in a few days ought to be great. Apropos of the Monday rehearsal of the Choral society which was largely attended, no little credit for the success of this excellent organization is due to the conductor, Professor Radcliffe, who combines with the foibles all tha enthu-siasm of a genius. He was born where Napoleon Bonaparte Was once held a prisoner, on Malta, and he seems to nave imbibed some of the mercurial temperament and love for musio with which the Italian climate is pregnant. The Choral society is an institution of monumental merit. AESIVAI.S AKD CL0SS OF MAILS. e 'ti'ilulf of arrival and elnrtug of mails t K!t I.ako C'itv 1( stoflVie, Nor. 17, ISJoj MA'1.3.

If Emperor William really means to disarm Europe he will make an excel-lent impression by begining with Ger-many. Philadelphia Inquirer. It is a signticant comment on the young German kaiser's talk of Europ-ean disarmament that Russian increases tha army and navy estimates by 9,100,-00- 0 robes. Washington Critic. If the young German emperor had the ability to see it, he would find more menace to his empire in the starvation of his subjects than the combination of his enemies. St. Louis If the Eniperior Willian is realty in earnest about seouring the disarma-ment of Europo he can lead off with Germany. Germany has led in the work of armament," and she should keep the leadership in going the other way. Pittsburg Dispatch. It is stated that the next mora of Ger-many's reform kaiser will be to invite a eomferenee of all tho EuroDean Dowers to consider the question of a general disarmament. William should call unoa the United States for suggestions. We are engaged in the disarming busi-ness just at present. Indianapolis News. Emperor William it said to enter most heartily into the scheme for the gradual disarmament of Europe. The The movement is consonant with the spirit of the ago. and the idea just such as would appeal to his romantic mind. The plan, if carried out, would be more of a eivilizer to tho continent than a hundred years of school instruction. Elgin News. Europe to disarm, quotha? It cannot be. The spectacle of disarmed Europe pursuing paths of peace while the veins of Amerirnu industrp were drained ' supporting old soldiers would be too exouisitely droll to be vouchsafed to a world atill in bonds of iniquity. The cry whales would acquire the human faculty of laughter and oysters die in lockjaw in convulsions of glee. New York Sun. " (r Rumors are'., again current of a European disartnameut. fathered by the Gorman emporor, a young man who believes himself able and in duty bound to accomplish eleemosynary impossi-bilities. Tho history of the world makes ' for universal peace, just as surely as it makes for tho universal freedom of trade The two are by some theorists supposed to be not distantly connected. The dream of a European interna-tional arbitration peace league is often in the minds of men, sometimes of statesmen. New York Commercial Advertiser. Blair Is going to join the woman suf-frage movement. Kaiser William complains of a lore throat and all Berlin is sick.

Texas has a surplus of $(10,000,000 in idle cash: and yet we talk of the money stringency in. this country! The trouble is there is too much idle money locked j up by timid people. No Polities fit It. Chicago Tribune. In this ISehringsea controversy there are only two viows tho Amoriean view and the English. The policy of the ad-ministration in sustaining the Ameri-can view has boen the policy of the pre-ceding administrations, whether repub-lican or deinocrotie. There should be no polities in it. The British minister, who doubtless congratulates himself upon the fact of having made a very brilliant move by attempting to trans-fer this case to tho supreme court, lould not be in too much haste in his content. A prominent lawyer who is familiar with the practice of the su-preme court anil its traditions said re-cently that nothing but ignorance upon the part of the British minister of our institutions would have led him to bring such a suit.

"I suppose you would turn in every cent that belonged to the company!" "No, sir; but I'd whack up." "How much would you take per day!" 'Owing tojlmsiness.' "You'd always make it a point to bring in some little money, wouldn't you!" "Well, Pd help myself first, and then "Hold on, I want you. You have told me the rirst truth that I have heard for years. Can you start right In?" Pakt of the Douglas garrison is back from the scene of war and glad of it.

Are They Leaders? New York World. Boulnnger has issued a proclamation declaring himself still tho leader of the French national party and a democrat. Mr. Parnell still claims tho leadership of the Irish national party, and Mr. Blaine occasionally issues a manifesto to let tne public know that ho is still the leader of the republican party of the United States.

Vet Chicago is not wholly given over the divorce iudustry; it is not so famous a divorce center as the little city of Indianapolis is.

Evarts in any event, it matters little whether Hill, or Dana, or Weed, is the successful man, except that the smoothness with which Hill was put through indicates the oily work of the machine. Only a week ago It was announced that the governor was not a candidate for the senate, and that all the talk about It emanated from the dark and dubious and damnable mug-wumps who tried to sidetrack him in that way. Nevertheless, Hill is today the senator-elect- . Was there ever any-thing more surprising than that? Even the Sun, which shines for Hill, is dazed for a moment. Perhaps when it from the shock it may be able to hed some light upon the dicker which presumably underlies the coup. New Force Rill. New York Sun. "Mr. Hoar," said the interviewer, "have you read Mr. Frederick W. Holls' paper on compulsory voting?" "Yes, and I consider it a very good scheme to fine those who abstain from voting. But I would suggest that the measure be made more sweeping, and that those who do not vote the republi- can ticket should be farever Uisfran chised." |
