Whitks Mr. Ansis from Washington: "The president 'announced his willing-ness, it is understood, to sign a bill ( one? These are some of the points which the council is called upon to con-sider. The idea that it should stop to liguro with Mr. Bacon whether the en-terprise may prove prolitablo to him as a condition precedent to granting his petition is so preposterous as to indl eato that the Herald has no valid objec-tion to raise and resorts of necessity to lame excuses. f" ' NO Oil.)

Alfred Nilsson, Will appear lu the always popular Swedish Drama, "iRIfflflGIri; Those who hae seen this drama before are eure to want to see it again, and those who have not seen it ought Ui.t to miss the treat t'ns tlm". Mr. Nilsson takes three parts In this play, nil of which are strong contrast to each other. The first is Tin- Happy Ter;" the second Is ' The Noble Anders," and the third Isttie ex-tremely comical ''LirpareniKse," giving the broad talent of the celebrated artist ample scope. The Americans will find much enjoyment In listening to the s. n;s and seeing the charao terlstic national dam es, such as "Vermlands-d.iusen.- " darn ed bv the whole company In the third act. and "ilailintidaiisen." or KiyUdals-pol-ken.- " danced in the last a- -t by the Halvor-- en brothers. In the same act the celebrated Vermlandsvisan" is sung by the Swedish male octette. The overture is specially composed by our musician. Anton Pedersen. It is writien r.n two subjects taken from the music in the drama. It Is a clever composition and is priwouuced bv musicians to be a master-piece of its kind. The theater orchestra will lie enlarged for the occasion and will r several line selec-tions during the even nj. such as Lumlye's Champaigiie Gallop, with all the. original eflects; l'outpom-- fr .m Offenbach's Operas. And when we announce that I'roiesvor W. K. Wcihe is to take charge of the orchesir i for the evening, it, is a sure guarantee to every-body that also the prt of the programme will be an artistic succtss.

It is impossible for the little speck on the map of the United States, called I'tah, to isolate itself from the lost ol tho country forever. It is impossible for this territory to maintain a sep-arate political status much longer. In years back several movements were started, having in view tho reorgani.a-tio-of panics on national lines and issues. They collapsed, to lie sure; still hey proved the formation, if not the existence, of a sentiment in that direction. In presidential years there was always a more or less defined organization of republicans and democrats, and last August a demo-cratic club was formed in this city which has for its object, as Judge Ji:ii declared in his Jackson day oration, tho dissemination of democratic doctrines in every bailiwick in this territory. The re-publican club of Dgdea recently callod iuto being is even more ambitious than thnt. Now, all these efforts may be only spasmodic and may lack in sus-tained power, yet they indicate a ten-dency toward a higher political life, which wo have never enjoyed hero, just as the shadow indicates the presence of light. Tho high noon is bound to eomo no matter what the sootsayers may say, and we might as well prepare for it betimes. Outside of tho larger cities thero is perhaps little of that tendency manifest as yet and this may defer action for a time, still tho inlliienco of the larger cities is growing more dominant every day and it well Id be strange indeed if it should not inlluence in time thi political feel-ing of ihe country. While tlmOgden movement is an immediate outgrowth of the recent mixed election which en-gendered dissatisfaction all around, it is an indication of the remedy pro-posed against future complications of tho same kind. The movement may be premature, but it will grow in momen-tum notwithstanding tho sneers of the fossil and war element, and any inci-dent may hasten its culmination. Tint appointment of Secretary Fos-tk-at this time would indicate that no extra session of congress, or the senate, is contemplated, contrary to the asser-tion of several papers. lx New York tho board of health de-creed the closing of several unhealthy school rooms. Education is a good thing, but it is no compensation for con-sumption. Don't dupe the old Fort block a park.

A certain morning journal of this city seoms to be bottor postod on my inten-tions than I am myself, as will bo ob-served by their statement of the 21st inst., to the effect that as soon as I had settled my business affairs 1 conte m plated moving to Denver. Now I wish to inform my friends and the public in general that at no time during the past twelve years have I ever contemplated going to Denver or any other place, nor have I ever given tho least intima-tion to any person or persons of any In tentlon on my part to leave Salt Lake City. On the contrary, they have al-ways been informed that I am located here for good. I have been identified with various business enterprises in this city since 1873, and for the past six years in the insurance business representing the leading companies of America and Europe, in lire, li'e and accident, my otlice for the past year has been and still is in the Progress block, room 614 and S15, where I or ono of my repre-sentatives can always be found, and I will be pleased to have all my old friends call at any and all times, and will also be delighted to form the ac-quaintance of all new comers, and have them bear in mind that the agency of Louis llvanis is one of the largest if not the largest in the country, the combined cash cipital ami assetts represented in my olliee being over $'.'(MI,OiK),000. Respectfully, Loi'is IIvams, Salt Lake City, December 22, 1W0. MINING. The exlonsion of tho Rio Grande Western railroad into the' Sevier conn try means tho working of new wines; the proposed Tintio road means the development of more mines, and the building of the Deep Creek line means tho opening of a whole mining section at once. While some of the regions named may have rich resources in farm aud orchard; and while others may give promise of large manufacturing industries, tho mining interest is the chief one urging ou to these railroad operations, ponding or proposed. It is well to bear this in mind; it is well to understand that tho railroads, prompted as they are by a desire for largo dividends, appreciate the magni-tude of our miniug interests and show a willingness to put their hard cash into ties and raits and cars with a knowledge of the business that is await-ing them. In spite of the scarcity of money, aud in spite of the check to railroad building in other states, they aro ready to branch out into a new country whore no immediate trallie is awaiting them, realizing as all shrewd men must that the conditions for an immense trallie exist and that the early bird catches tho worm. These facts have an immediate bear-ing upon our prosperity. It is folly to expect permanent growth and wealth from incidental causes while we neglect tho main source. Activity iu this one will quicken tho activity in all the others by contact and sympathy. It is time we learn a lesson from the rail-roads that are quick to see an advan-tage when it presents itself. ' IS THIS A JO IS? The board of public works advertises through tho two morning papers for bids "for all the labor and material V necessary for constructing a concrete and brick aqueduct for transporting the , Maters of Parley's creek into tho city," etc. We do not know what pull, if any, tho two papers may have on the board of public works that entitles them to tho monopoly. Neither do we know v whether the board intended to keep tho advertisement out of sight as much as possible, therefore witholding it from Tun Times, which is the paper of largest circulation. Certain it Is " the notice nppeared in , an obscure place, and although it involves an expenditure of one or two . hundred thousand dollars of tho peo- - , pie's money, no mention other than that contained in the paid advertise-ment was made of it. If the object was, or is, to keep the great majority of t contractors from bidding on the work, the scheme was well laid. Yet this Is only introductory. When the same work, together with the city creek, was advertised not only in the local pets, but also iu the Engineering Kewsand in the Contractors' Journal, where people could see it, a number of contractors came here at considerable expense to look over the held and file their bids. These were all tabled and so far as an ollicial notice to that effect is concerned, the contractors might still bo lingering in Zitm and await the action of the honorable board of public works. No apology, thanks, nay, not even an acknowledgment of the receipt of the bids, was ever vouchsafed them. Was this snub deliberately and cunniugly applied? Was it intended to disgust reputable contractors and keep them out of competition whenever bids were to bo again advertised for? Is this a little game to freeze out everybody ex-cept the favorite contractors? We defer judgment on this question at present. At the same time we propose keeping our weather eye. ou tho board of public works and invite the people, whoso money is at stake, to do likewise, x There may bo a nigger iu that wood-Piie- . Ti'.MPoiiAuv makeshifs will never solve the water question in this city. While we aro about it wo might as well grasp tho situation fairly and meet it fully. If we lind it dillicult now to furnish an ample wafer supply for a population of 60,000, what will we do five or ten years hence when the popu-lation will bo over 100,000? Experi-ments are costly and if they must be made wo prefer that somebody else be-sides the city make them. Notice. At a special meeting held in the office of tho llurton-Garduo- r Co. last evening the following resolution was adopted, a copy of which, signed by members of tho exchange, will be found in another part of this paper: Resolved. That alter the lirst day of March, ism, all lumbar dealers of this cily in selling material in excess of amounts of $l(i() shall do so onl3' upon tho written order of tho owner or agent. The reader will readily porceive the object for which the resolution was framed, which is to keep out unreliable contractors, aud as a protection against the same. Another matter of import-ance to the public is the intended incor-portio- n of a large wholesale sash and door house bv members of tho exchauge with a capital of $150,000. MKM11KUS. Taylor.

With our extensive street car sys-tem it matters little whether a park is a mile or two miles further out of tow n or not. Take Mr. Bacon's $1.0,000 if you will and buy a tract at some dis-tance that will bettor answer for park purposes than tho old Fort block aud bo several times its size. There is abso-lutely nothing iu the argument that we want to keep all the parks we have. r The tenor of the interviews in Satur-day's Timks on the Deep Crook railroad and Fort block projects cannot well be misunderstood. And it is needless to say that the number might have been indefinitely increased. Salt Lake is en-thusiastically iu lavor of Mr. Bacon's proposition. It will scarcely pay to cable over to this country every royal jag the German emperor takes in. What we want is news. Hut isn't it a parody ou fate that the destiny of a continent should depend upon tho fuddled condition of an overbearing youth? 9even fer Cant Money to Loan.

Elaborate preparations are under way for the performance at Brighton, tonight, of "Nicholas Nickelby," a drama in four arts from Charles Dickens' great work. The characters are all taken by amateurs of excellent training in the histrionic art. which gives promise of a superior entertain-ment in all respect. Due to the rail-way facilities now existing between Salt Lake and Brighton we expect a large contingent of our people to cele-brate in that way Washington's birth-day. . A liar ought to have a good memory. This is for the information of the pes-tiferous morning nuisance w hose daily output is a libel on decency and morals.
