Show " .4 THE SALT LAKE TIMES. SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1891. The Times is pained to learn of the precarious condition of Miss Emma Abbott. At the time of this writing it is reported that her physicians have abandoned all hope of her recovery, mid that the end may occur at any moment. We trust the doctors may prove false prophets in this case. We trust that her vitality may conquer the disease. We cling to the last faint promise, "where there is life there is hope." Miss Abbott is in the fullness of life, and after a career of arduous labor well performed she deserves a span of earthly enjoyment before she goes to her eternal rest. Whateverelif-- ' ferenco of opinion may exist as to her merit us an artist, there is none what-ever as to her rank as a woman. Uut happen what may, The Times' news columns will apprise the publio of the latest change. THE SALT LAKE TIMES, Bj THE TIME? PUBLI8HI53 OOMPANT. S0-8- Temple Court.

To facilitate this business a clearing house was established several months ago," the weekly returns of which gave us at onco a prestige in the financial world that in no other way could be so persistently maintained. Uut satisfactory as our record in the maiu has been, it falls far short of the actual extent of our hanking business for the simple reason that four of the thirteen banks, or nearly one-fourt- of the whole number, are not yet members of the clearing house. To specify more fully, the following banks belong to the exchange: Wells, Fargo &Co., Deseret National, jMeCorniek & Co., T. It. Jones & Co., I'nion National, Commercial National, Utah Savings & Commercial, American National, State Hank of Utah, And tho following still remain out-- j side. National Bank of Republic, Utah National, Hank of Commerce, Zion's Savings Hank tfc Trust Co. We presume there must be some reason why the four institutions last named should hold aloft, and it is prob-ably ou account of some differences in the admission foe, but we believe that weightier causes should prevail upon them to give in on a comparatively small point for the incomparatively larger point to be gained thereby. All other cities in the country straiu their utmost endeavor to make tho best pos-sible showing iu the weekly clearing house returns for the advertisement that is in it, ami the same just motive should inspire us to bring our weekly record to the maximum ligure. At the sumo time it is palpably inconvenient to have the checks of a number of banks pass through tho clearing house while those of another number have to be sent for adjustment to tho individual banks. As a matter, therefore, both of bus-iness and advertisement let the four outstanding institutions join tho clear-ing house and swell the grand total of our weekly returns. It will help along. Houses for rent are scarce, and get-ting scarcer. Shells that would be con-sidered uninhabitable east yield a largo income to the owners in this city. Mod-ern conveniences can be fouud iu but few houses for rent, and these bring almost any returns. It seems to us that capital never had a better opportunity for profitable investment than in Salt Lake residence property. WILHELMINA.

Ho believed in faith cure and be got it. Stam.kv Akuicam s is tending this way. He will bo heartily welcomed in Salt Lake City. What matter if the Austrian peasan-try is starving. Tho civil otlieials must wear gaudy and costly uniforms. The wife of Kyrnud, the Paris strang-les has secured a divorce notwithstand-ing the fact that the gucllotine was designated to perform that little cere-mony iu short order. KISTIAN. Tiik Times hopes tho widow of Gen-eral C'usler will succeed in petting con-gress to raise her pension from $"0 to $100 a month, and we doubt not that if the bill providing for such an in-crease is reached on tho calendar, this will be done without serious objection. Not only is Mrs. Custer the rclio of a pnllant officer who died in the service of his country, but she is a plucky woman herself aud accompanied her husband on many a thrilling and venturesome expedition. His serial eutitled ' Life on the I'lains," which appeared iu tho Galaxy during tho general's lifetime, bears many an earmark of Mrs. Cus-ter's literary inspiration, as also of her personal knowledge of the subject treated theroin. But in order that justice may be done to the memory of a dead hero and to the claims of his deserving widow, it is scarcely right for the house committee on invalid ponsions to run into swell-ing bombast over him. Here is one the report: liySopry will m as the best cavalry lo,i.Jbii world If rer produced. AvAdon't cafv make comparisons between CustXj and Seydlitz, .Xoy, Blueeher or Early, but our own incom-parable Sheridan hiust not bo iguored when "the best cavalry leader the world has ever produced" is spoken of. And here is another extract: While Ciinter was in chief commund he never made a mistake. VI n he met dla- - ter it was alwt'jiidue to the blunders of his superior of-ficers. The truth is he never was in chief command at any time in his career. During the war ho achieved splendid renown by the side of Sheridan as a daring and dauntless tighter, and since then the highest rank he hold was that of lieutenant-culoue- l iu the regular army, and while he practically com-manded Sturgis' Seventh regiment of cavalry, it was always under orders from the department general. If, more-over, the report means to insinuate that the massacre on the Little Big Horn was due to General Terry, his su-perior oflicer, it is simply a base libel upon a peerless soldier and upon the truth. There is no need of the com-mittee on invalid pensions proToking a controversy which must bring into fresh prominence tho fact of Custer'g reckless disobedience of superior ord-ers iu leading that fatal charge against Sitting Bull. Anyway, what is tho use of indulging in fustian when the modest truth is glorious enough. Fatheu Cha i t's story of the Indian troubles recited in tho New York Free-man's Journal coincides so closely with the views of Tim Timk.s that we are al-most inclined to take credit for it. Tiikateus have a dangerous ten-dency to burn like kindling wood when fire once starts in them, as witness the New York lire last night. The modern theater is not the safest health resort. Mrs. Fkank Lksi.ie should either marry the marquis of Leuille or else consign him to a commission for lunacy. His twentieth announcement of their coming marriage is more thau a suffering public cau endure. The house of representatives met yesterday only to adjourn. Under the existing rules tho transaction of busi-ness is so facilitated as to permit the house to take a vacation when the senate must toil on with the mouth forevor. The London Telegraph invites Glad-stone to recognize the fact that home rule for Ireland is dead. This is on a par with the Invitation extended by the democrats to the republicans just prior to the last presidential election. And yet "it was the dog that died." K none of thu reviews of the impor-tant events of 1W.'0 do we find special mention made of one event which is destined perhaps to prove the most notable in the history of modern civili-zation, and that is the discovery, or what else it may be called, of Koch's lymph. If it possesses half the saving virtue its friends claim for it the past year will mark the most important , epoch in medical science. GIVK CItKDir WIltKK DVK. We wish to give credit where credit is due and we are therefore impelled to commend the Rio Grande Western railroad company for its lo.val and per-sistent stand for fair play to Salt Lake City in tho matter of passenger rates. Single and alone that corporation stands out against a powerful combination that discriminates against the best interest of this city. What is the justice, for in-stance, of fixing the second class pas-senger rate from Missouri river points to itutte at twenty-fiv- dollars when tho same accommodation! to Salt Lake cost thirty dollars? To appreciate the magnitude of this outrageous discrimi-nation it must be remembered that two-third- s of all tho western travel is done second class. At the same time it should bo noted that in the recent advance of rates no advance was made to Denver and California points, the fare to the latter being thirty five dollars or only $5 more than to this city. The result of this gross piece of favoritism is that many people pass by us who would otherwise come hither and perhaps remain here if they could examine our resources and advantages. When the inter-stat- commerce com-mission convened iu this city to hear complaints of discrimination against Utah and in favor of California points, the main stress was laid upon freight charges. a have not yet received the decision of that august and tedious body and to confess it candidly we have little confidence that it will afford us any material relief. As constituted the commission is really so restricted by law in its functions and powers as to be almost an fully at the mercy of the rail-roads as tho cities along their lines. Under the circumstances it is all the more important and encouraging have a friend in a company like the Hio Grande Western that fights the good light manfully. All honor to it. Under tho liutterworth resolution providing that "the president shall in-vite the several states and territories to hold suitable memorial services on the 32th day of October, 1892, commemora-tive of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America and that they cause to bo prepared a statue, painting, tablet, or other suitable memorial illus-trative of the resources, progress and development of such state or territory and that such memorial be placed on exhibition in a group with those from other states and territories during such exposition," Utah would make not tho least interesting display. Ix the reorganization of the signal corps under a law passed last summer, which divorces the military from the ecientilio branch, joining the weather bureau to the agricultural department, General Greeley recommended the pro-motion of one officer who has never been identified with the service at all, and of another whose most conspicuous record is his trial by general court mar-tial. Lieutenant Finley, whose work has given character to the signal serv-ice and which has earned for him the most substantial appreciation of the learned world, was ignored, and he is to be transferred to the line of the army. It is a most contemptible exhi-bition of euvy on tho part of General Greeley. |
