KEFOKM IN K EA I. KSTATK TIUNHF C RS Interest will no doubt be aroused in Salt Lake city in an important reform started in New York, and which will eventually be extended all over the country. It is the establishment of the block index system of real estate rec-ords. Since January 1 of this year this system has been applied to ail instru-ments tiled for record, but it is now proposed to create a commission to ap-ply the system to all prior records, iu connection with this duty the commis-sion is required from time to time to prepare and report to the legislature such further bills for reform in laud transfer as they may recommend. The essential feature of the improved system may be brielly explained by stating that it substitutes for the old system of recording ownership, thus scattering the chain of title among many folios, a system under which an account is opened with every parcel of real estate, in which is entered its changes of ownership, thus exhibiting thi! chain of tit lo at a glance. Inciden-tally it. of course, extioses anv conflict of title, and makes impossible any at-tempt at conveyance of property upon fraudulent pretense of ownership. The present tedious and costly process known as will be quite obviated, for all that a person inter-ested need do to know tho status of auy partiruiar parcel of real estate will be to look under the index of the block in which the property is situated, where will be found a reference to all the records affecting the property, The process is as simple as examining the records of a stock-transfe- r book, and, indeed, the effect of the system is to as-similate real estate as it were, and to send its value iuto the channels of trade. The next slep in the course of the re-form will be to introduce the Torrens system, such as is successfully worked in the Australian colonies. Under this system the states issue a certificate of ownership, guaranteeing the notes and bonds of the property as described in the certificate. This certificate is as readilv trausfcrrublo as a certificate of i .stock, and the whole cumbrous proced- - j uie of conveyancing is altogether ghe won a most enviable reputation as a teacher and singer. Her voice is a high soprano, clear, full and sympa-theiie- . It is to bo hoped that her rare talents may be applied fur the benefit of the public, for there is here and now a mo-i- t excellent opportunity.

Some funny remarks were heard as the result of the accident last Sunday in St. Paul's church. A Tribu ne reporter said he had not been in church for eighteen years until that evening when the tloor caved in and ho did not pro-pose again to take any more chances. Another journalist, on tho Herald, declared boldly that he preferred to save bis body before he saved his soul; while the foreman of The Timks, who, of course, Is a christian, merely ob-served that he never saw such a "pi" before. From all of which thu Rev. Mr. Lane will see the necessity of re-doubling his efforts to strengthen the religious convictions of the press gang and also the beams in the cellar. H-- f- Apropos of Blazer who has figured rather prominently in court this week we read in an Omaha paper of the im-mediate cause of his departure from the city on the Ilig Muddy to which Salt Lake owns his unwelcome pres-ence, lllazer had a partner named Bollard and the two operated together in connection with the Don Carlos lumber swindle and ihs former was bound over to furnish a bond and then disappeared. Bellard posed as an innocent party, claiming that he was merely a bookkeeper, and he was accordingly discharged. His story on the stand did not please Blazer" who swore out a warrant, for him on the charge of adultery, but before the case could be pushed the complainant had changed his pasture to the fertile lields on the banks of the Jordan and now at last to the frugal board of the bastilo. -t-- - Salt, Lake City has long been recog-nized as a rapidly grow.ng musical center. The enterprise of the May Fes-tival committee cannot be too strongly commended in its efforts to secure out-side talent of the highest order. .Mem-bers of the committee are now corre-sponding with artists of national promi-nence who have never been heard in our city and the general public can look forward to one of the grandest musical festivals ever given in the west. Tho chorus will bo a leading feature and this iatter it should be re-membered is not drawn exclusively from the mormon people. To be sure the strength of the chorus is largely due to the excellent trainig in the different ward schools and churches, and to this training is largely duo the enthusiasm which sustains the immense chorus. The membership, however, is quite largely recruited from other de-nominations ami must, ultimately be-come cosmopolitan in character this is its it should be. A splendid accession to local musical circles has been made in Mr. and Mrs. George Metcalf, who have recently come to our city. Mr. Metcalf is the leading salesman in the Warren Mercantile company and is the possessor of a rich and telling baritone voice. Tho Free Lance has heard the gentleman two or three times and has no hesitation in declaring his to lie one of the finest baritones ever heard iu this city, either on or off (he stage. His voice is dramatic and strong ami yet it has that sympathetic quality which gives unqualified pleas-ure. Mr. Metcalf has studied with many teachers, but says that he has made the most rapid advancement under the musical instructions of Mrs. Metcalf, who is herself a soprano of note. Mr. Metcalf during his residence in Denver was a member of the F'irst Presbyterian church choir and later of the choir iu Unity church. He was a member of the original Apollo and Mendelsohn quartettes in the same city. Mrs. Metcaif, whom Mr, Metcalf has lately taken to wed, was a Miss Lucy II. Wiliiams and, if we mistake not, a Virginia girl. She early developed a decided talent for music and studied id New York and Boston. luMinaeayol is TO t ONTItAl 'llHtS. f lOtitlomen, prepare yourselves for active business. l)n not lie idle, while the preliminary steps fur public im-provement are being taken, and neg-lect the development of our natural re-sources in the matter of paving mater-ials until the season has adv.'iueed too far to (ill contracts, but determine at once what can be done, the figures it can bo done for, and the time it will re-quire to complete the work, as there is a strong sentiment in this community that local materials shall be used for local improvement!.

It is impossible to estimate what tho tntinage from these camps will be after tho railroad shall have been in opera-tion a short, time, but from a few of tlii'in it is known that 100) tons per day would be shipped now if tho road were built, while it is not unreasonable to estimate that ten times that amount of ore will becoming in over the road each day within two years after the construction of the line. The great railroads of Colorado were built on showings not as inviting. Tho Midland and Kio (irande were built over expensive routes into Aspen on showing of ;)0U tons per day. In oilier parts of that state the Kio (irande has run lines to single camps that, at the time, bad merely prospec-tive producing capacity, On the line of tins proposed Deep Creek road there are thirty-liv- e camps, he great majority of which tiro now ready te ship and some of which promise to rival the greatest producing districts of the country. Such are the facts upon which public feeling is . There is a Hellish mo-tive associated with the subject that gives rise to the anxiety that is felt. This arises from the knowledge that the road will make all that rich region trib-utary to Salt Lake and set this city far along in tho race for supremacy over Denver and all other cities between the Missouri river mid San Francisco. t't.Ul,. il.t. ,,f t,i, .,.,( viful .il.ur. aelerare bound up with the enterprise, and every progressive citizen knows it. The road M ill be woudorfully profita-ble to its owners, but it will be of far more value to the peoplo of Salt Lake; ami it is therefore but natural that the enterprise should be the center of pub-lic attention. THE DEEP CRKEK lt().I. The progressive people of this city are nervously awaiting tho completion of arrangements for the beginning of work on the proposed Deep Creek road. They know that the gentlemen who aro at tho head of the enterprise are mov-ing just as fast as possible but the mat-ter is of such importance that public anxiety for its successful conclusion cannot be repressed. This is ono of the encouraging sigtis of the times, and the state of public feeling re-specting the project is a powerful incen-tive to its promoters to push on with tireless energy. Of course there are some peoplo here who oppose the scheme. There itre people iu every city, in every county, who oppose bold enterprises of all de-scriptions; but it is imppossible for this class to stand against the onset of tho new spirit that is taking possession of Utah. It has been but a very short time since it was practically impossible for such projects to secure a foothold in ihe public mind hero, and the change cannot be con-templated without a fooling of the most profound gratification. We are now on the, road over which other western states and territories have traveled to the position of great commonwealths, and there will never be a backward march. The Deep Creek project is to mark tho most important advance ever made for Utah and Salt Lake City, and is to inaugurate the new era of pros-perity for this inter-mountai- region. For this reason the people who are look-ing forward to the time when Salt Lake shall have outstripped Denver are anxious. They are continent but they are moved by a nervous desire to see the great enterprise under way. Just hero it is well to speak of the facts upon which hope and conliderice are based. The Deep Creek road is projected into a country that is known to be rich. Never before in the history of railroad enterprises was so short a line run through so many important freighting points. No business is so valuable to a railroad as that which is secured from the mines. Tho tonnage from a prosperous mining camp is always large; it does not vary with the seasons, and it grows continually as development proceeds.

Quiet Observer In the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. There is no denying the fact that the Jewish Sabbath occurred on the sev-enth day of the week, and it was there-fore, the day that was made holy. The Sabbath was one of the many .sacred institutions peculiar to the old dispensation. Was it introduced into the new or Christian dispensation? if so, by whose authority, and by what command it must have been greatly modified, boeanse we do not even hear of Christ or his apostles observing it in the manner laid down by law. They were called Subbath breakers by the .Jews because they did things unlawful for that day. Besides, no Christian people has ever professed or attempted to keep the Sabbath day according to the law of tho Sabbath. - It is useless to attempt tojkecp intel-ligent, reading, traveling peoplo from hearing this question discussed in all its phases; therefore, it is better to sub-mit the facts and give them all the light possible. The boy or girl who has been kept from sin by boing kept in ignor-ance of it and of its eonsetjtienees, is but poorly prepared to meet it. There is nothing to bo lost by a full and fair discussion of tho Sabbath question; not from a sentimental point of view, but from tho law and the facts in the case, If we are under the .Jewish Sabbath law everyone of us is truilty of such. 11a- - grant violations of it that wo can scarsely hope for divine favor. In fact we have all merited the death penalty. Get your iiibles and read the law of the Habbath. You call then judgo about how you stand. "Head your Bible through a hundred times with roferanee to this subject, and will each time become more and mora convinced of tho truthfulness of the fol-lowing notable facts: "'There is no divine command for Sunday observance. "There is not the least hint of a Sun-day institution. '"Christ never changed God's Sab-bath to Sunday. "He never observed Sunday as the Sabbath. "The Apostles never kept Sunday as tho Sabbath. "There is no prophesy that Sunday would ever take the place of Sabbath. "The word Sunday never occurs in the liiblo. 'Neither God, Christ, angels, nor in-spired men have ever said one word in favor of Sunday as a holy day, "These are the facts in tho case in regard to the Sabbath and Sunday. - An express command for the change is called for. but this is asking for something wholly unwarranted. We have no express command to substitute baptism for circumcision, the Lord's Supper for the Passover, the church for the synagogue, or in a word, Christian-ity for Judaism. No direct command can be found for women at the Lord's tablo. Indeed, all the insinuation and customes of the New Testament giving birth to the Christian church were fjradually formed came, not. by by evolution. So the change of the day for the Sabbath. The New Testament authority for the change in the way of use ami approval is abso-lutely overwhelming. Our risen Lord changed the day by example and use. He kept seventh day before, but in po known instance after His ressurrejbtion. All His re-corded meetings with disciples, oli ascertainable date, were on first d avsi -- notorie ongnvi'nth days. Ten are reLW " V " them onFridays, five 'firr, o sr la itself, and one on 'jffLs, cJ ay. At His asconsion He im lisciples to remain at Jeriisa, A101' oc" cured on penticost, rf'ona by all scholars to bo t ;' 'With first day after His ressurreciTj It was then He came to tho disciples in a won-derful spirit baptism. A rniraculas gift of tongues, and tho greatest one-da- y religious revival known to history. f- - Tbese are remarkublo first day events. Adverse criticism cannot belittle them. Tho birth of this Christian Church, as well as the rcssurrection of Christ, crowns and honors the iirst day of the week. Then, too, Christ's last record-ed visible revelation of Himself that to John on Patmos was made on the Lord's day, a phrase that has passed passed into history as a name on first day. Now, his doings are interpreters of His mind and will, and a fair inter-pretation is that seventh day is divinely vacated and first day selected for Christian meetings and worship. He dismissed the old day and inaugurated the new day. His attitude towards seventh day is that of non-us- He dissappoint.s all expectation of seventh day Sabbatarians. His attitude to-wards Iirst day is use and approval. He rose from the grave on first day. All His recorded relevations of himself to disciples, of ascetainable date, was on First day. Pentecost, which began the formal planting of Christianity, was on F irst day. And the last record-ed relcvalion of himself were on i'irst day. This exclusive use of First day by the risen Sabbath Maker is its sufficient and authorized institution. The F'irst day Sabbatarian is following in the steps of our risen Lord. -- - - The apostles, after Christ had direct-ed by His example, evidently recast the the Sabbath in the mold of a new day. Five sacred texts report Paul and as-sociated workers as using Seventh day; but only for preaching; never for anv distinctive Christian ordinances, such as baptism or the Lord's supper. These were celebrated on first and never on Sevenths days. Tho day as ased by them, is nowhere Christianized. Their use did not, therefore, reinstituto and continue Seventh day anymore than it out trie synagogue. nix sacred texts report them as using First day, and for distinctively Christian ends; for baptism as well as preaching, at Pentecost; for tho Lord's Supper as well as for preaching at Troas, and for sacred col-lections in tho churches of Corinth and throughout Galalia. Paul additionally classes seventh day with mere forms, and reports it as vacated of Sabbatism. Thus apostolic precept and example respect and sanction the change of day. F'irst day stands dedicated as holy time in Apostolic customs and practice-- . PARNELL'S ENVOYS. The cool reception which Mr. ram-ell'- s envoys have received at New York; the tone of tho representative newspaper organs of n opinion, and the utterances of the most prominent orators at the recent St. l'atrick's Day celebrations throughout the country, demonstrate conclusively that, whatever may be the situation in Ireland, Mr. Parnell has "lo-,- t bis hold" in tho Uuited Slates. Indianapolis Sentinel. A dollar contributed to 1'arnell's fund is a dollar advanced to prevent, Gladstoneati success. Parnell cannot win the day for Ireland at Westminis-ter; Gladstone can, if hi hand is not held by his frantic Irish opponents.

Not a dollar of tho money collected in this county, it is sale to say, will reach the pockets of the poor in Ire-land. Mr. Parnell does not want It for that purpose.

He is a man of wide learning ana imormation. ana nis rellective mind makes constant use of its treasures of knowledge, they are not permitted to mold or rust. A man of tho world and a student of mankind, his charity for the foibles and sins of humanity is broad and his judgments gentle. Never arrogant, censorious or intolerant in discussion, ho wins an opponent by respecting his opinions, while differing from him, and sends him away in a spirit of rellection rather than of controversy. To borrow bis own apothegm, he never "mistakes rudeness for courage nor violence for strength." He clothes his ideas iu garments of apt expression, felicitous, beautiful, and always Anglo-Saxo- There is nothing of the pedant about him. His diction is pure liko his heart, and is unmarred by profanity or or slang, lie is differential to all'wo-nien- . An unconscious dignity freezes impertinence and closes the mouth of vulgarity, while his gentle manners and winning countenance give confidence to tho embarrassed and looseu the tongue of tho modest or the timid.

If the peoplo themselves do not op-pose the curbing and guttering of both First Fast and Main streets there is no reason why work should not be in pro-gress inside of about forty-fiv- days on these improvements. Notice of inten-tion to pave, curb and gutter Main street has already been published as also to curl) and gutter First Kast street, and it will soon be in order to enact tho ordinance levying the tax therefor, after which time the board of review will sit for ten days, whereupon the board of public works will have tho matter referred to it by tho city council for advertising and letting the con-tracts. Less than fifty days are to do all this preliminary work. In the meantime we may have settled weather which will permit the Com-mercial street pavement to be com-pleted. The part of Main street to bo paved, from South Temple to Fourth South, being four blocks, will be the Iirst im-provement of this kind excepting Com-mercial street ever started in Salt Lake and it will act ns an incentive for tho pavement of the entire business portion. The idea was expressed last fall that the material likely to give the greatest satisfaction is sandstone blocks for six feet from each curb and the balance asphalt. The conditions of tho fran-chise given to the railroad company render it necessary that these railroads shall pave tho space between their tracks and a space o! two feet on each side with the same material as the streets are paved with. With regard to the part of paving re-quired of tho railroads, wo do not un-derstand why in extending their lines or building new ones they should lay ties instead of sleepers, since the former will have to be taken up when the pav-ing begins, which will necessitate the tearing up of the whole roadbed. It seems to us the best intorest of the com-panies requires to prepare for tho work that is coming as they go along with their construction. PAST Kit. Tho landscape without is not re-mindful of the resurrection; that is to say, of the return to life of dead nature. Snow covers tho mountains and slush lill tho streets. A raw atmosphere chills the human anatomy. The grass and leaves which, animated by tho sunny days in the earlier part of the month, began sprouting, and the vio-lets which raised their modest heads in the balmy air, shiver on their stems or hug the bosom of mother earth. Still, the storm is but transient. Iu this favored climate, where blizzards never rage ond tornadoes are a myth, bad weather is rarely protracted, and tomorrow the sun may dawn upon a cloudless eky and smilo at the multi-tude of Christians as they wend their w ay to church to exult over the fact that the Lord had risen. Strange, how quick a transition takes place in Salt Lake. Only two weeks ago we doubted whether the dead past would ever bo buried and a new life spring up instead, and whether there would be an F'.asler resurrection after the long gloom of Lent. But it is here at last, and the glad tidings may go forth into all the country that a new light is kindled here, Thence diffuse His good to world'Vind as,'cs Infinite. Hail F2aster, the religious and tho symbolic; hail the resurrection and the life. ISD'i. Pittsburg Index-Appea- Who will be the winner? At this 1, time the prospects seem brighter for tho democrats than for the republicans, but he would bo a rash prophet indeed who ventured his reputation in proph-esy at this early stage of the game, when all the elements are in a state of dissolution and revolution, and that factor, unexpected, holds a prominent position on the hori-zon. This much is to venture, how-ever, that the democrats will not lose the advantages they already posses by nominating an anti-lre- coinage ex-tremist like Mr. Cleveland, in whosa nomination they have everything to lose and nothing to gain, and that without some unparalleled blunder they ought, by tho immense accession of strength in the west and northwest, to win easily in the next Presidential election. Ittpuhllcinn Sot Spentltlirlftfl. Senator Cocloell. (Di m.) On account of the law enacted and continuing in full force, I do not see bow any very great reductions from the appropriations of the Fifty-firs- t con-gress can be made. Whether the rev-enues of tho government will be in-creased or diminished by the tarilT law of October, l'M), remains to be deter-mined. Until the business of the coun-try settles down under the new tarilT law to something liko a steady basis no reasonable estimate of reven-ue can bo made' At the same time it i.s impossible to predict with any de-gree of certainty how much money will be required for the needs of tho govern-ment. All predictions, therefore, as to the appropriation to bo made by tho next congress are of comparatively lit-tle value at this time. A Tight Mqui'.z. Cloak Review.

Swain, who recently returned from a visit abroad, makes the following statement: "I spent some time in Sweden and noticed many peculiarities among the people. 1 never heard a Swede swear, use harsh or profane language, abuse a beast of burden or show a spark of cruelty in any form." As an sxamplo of the re-markable tenderness of tho Swedes of today lie tells an incident refated to him by General Thomas, tho American Minister at Stockholm. General Thomas, while out riding ono day, met a peasant, going to the woods with a porcupine in a basket. Upon boing questioned the peasant said he found it stranded on the road and fearing that some one would harm it ho was taking it to the woods. Not a New Fad. Bunver Sun.'

Outgrowing Crankiain, New Vork Sun. Citizen George Francis Train has be-come less eccentric iu his speech and ways than he used to be in former times. Occasionally he talks like a man of practical quality and orderly thought. A few evenings ago, when he made a speech at a banquet of a literary club in this city, he surprised his hun-dred hearers by tho solidity of his ideas and drew forth applause by the force of his language. There is reason to fear the obliteration of all these pecttlirrities that formerly distinguished the "citi-zen" from ordinary citizens. Mint Have Bittara. New York Mercury.
