This is a time of transition in V In-dividuals, classes, opinions, fash: jy-tc-change and are changing. 1: er-iug also to know that the currents a ety are not only moving onward but i. .urd. Especially ii this true politically. Out from under the L'pas tree of polygamy, the growth and expansion of correct and liberal sentiment among the msjo-it- y of Utah's population is clearly seen and feit. Never again can the isolations of the wilderness combine with the wickedness or weakness of men to make this commonwealth a pe-culiar and objectionable abode. Nature here magnificently unfolds the handiwork of the Creator and this mountain region is not fashioned to breed slave?. Its variety of material resources opens up to eTery force-ful enterprising man an, avenue to compe-tence, if uot wealth. Its inexhaustable mines of useful and precious mineral; its ! vast deposits of raw material needed in the successful prosecution of varied manufac-tures os a large scale; its fertile soil, its fattening grasses, tic quantity and quality of its luscious fruit, Jolm d to the attraction of its superb climate, beckon to its open doors the miner, the farmer, the herdsman, the horticulturist and the health seeker. Fol-lowing in the wake of the legitimate workers and creators of wealth and capital, bankers, builders and educators will appear as if by magic. It is worthy any and every man's ambition to bear a hand in building up this oncoming mtcrmontain empire and inde-pendent state. The gl ttering messenger on the Temple's top, figuratively, blows a blast from bis golden trumpet that shall waken the Sleeping capita! and labor of eastern and foreign states and cause a plentiful sowing and r ch harvesting in the near future. Wiv '; by sui.terrsue-i- tires from nature's j labra.iirv, a second Pittsburgh of m.vmfac- - tories will jink together with hooks of steel the twin cities of Salt Lake and Ogdeu. The intervening valley now the paradise of Utah, witii its silver-mirrore- d lake front-age and its background of snow-crowne- d j peaks in the Wasatch range will, with its bcputiful gardens and suburban villas, make this half way house and inter-continent-watering place one of the attractions of the worid. Witii the advent of superior, large-henrte- t! men and women, the bitter antag-onism and selfish jealousies of early settlers will give way to genial intercourse, enlarged i social, religious and political ideas. Side by side with the inevitable development of ma-terial wealth, the state of Utah will piesent a community, the peers of any state in the Union. OF INTEREST TO ALL- - Only citizens who can read and write are allowed to vote in Bolivia. A contract has been Jet for the construc-tion of an irrigating canal in the Santa Cruz valley, Arizona, to cost $1,200,000. Siberia is soon to have a railroad from the Ural mountains to the sea of Japan, a dis-tance of 4785 miles, costing $133,825,000. Recently at Amador, Cal., a block of mar-ble weighing one hundred tons was quarried and cut up into columns for a new theater. A sugar fifteen times sweeter than cane sugar, and twenty times sweeter than beet sutjar, has been extracted from cotton seed nnal by a German chemist. The Glenwood, Col., says: Six hundred men employed on the railroad up from Carbondale to the marble beds are making times irood up the river. In two or three weeks from now Glenwood Springs wii! itegin to reap some of the benefits. The Brazilian Steamship company now runs fourteen steamers a month to Brazilian ports, instead of three as formerly. This is substantially an increase of from 15,000 tons of freight monthly to 70,000 tons. And the trade is still growing. The .Northwestern Land and Coal company of Boston has purchased 50,000 acres of oil lauds in Natrona county. The company has capital and expects to expend $100,(KH) in the development of their Wyom-ing property withiu the next year or two. CLOSING OF MAILS. At Salt Lake City Postcffiae. Kay 1. 1892. T P.

We wisii we couid put as much confidence in the irood that the coming silver congress is expected to do as some of our more san-guine contemporaries; but to tell the truth we have not a particle of faith in its accom-plishments. We have no doubt but what the covern-mcn- t of this country is acting in good fiith and trying to brinjr about results beneficial to our silver interests, since it recognizes their importance and value. On the other hand we cannot mistake the attitude of Ger-many which is one of inaction. Germany will be represented at the congress simply as a matter of courtesy to the United States, and not because she desires to promote the purpose which brings it together. As does Germany so will prob-ably Austria and Italy, members of a zoll-verei-do likewise. Much more however depends upon toe position of the British government, and while it cannot be denied that the financial and industrial distress ia India has produced a marked change in sea-time-reirdin t silvjir in Great Britain, ye it is not sufficiently strong to assert itself and Mr. Goshev proposes only "to examine into what measures can be taken to increase the use of silver in the currency systems of the nations." That will probably be the net result of the congress. It may suggest the way for a larger use of silver a a money metal but it will not secure an international agreement of a fixed ratio between silver and gold, thus establishing a stable equilibrium in the re-lations of the two metals, and bimetalism will be still a problem for the United States to grapple with alone. YESTERDAY'S CONVENTION. When in a liberal convention whose dele-gates are chosen for their fealty to old prin-ciples, the spirit of rebellion breaks out; when the man who but a few months ago W.is the liberal claimant for a seat in the na-tional republican committee now demands "that the liberal republicans nominate a re-publican candidate for congress and ignore heir allies on the democratic side, it will be conceded that the leaven of division is work-ing even in the least expected parts. It may T)e contended that Mr. Tatlock's resolution "was overwhelmingly defeated. That is true: tut isn't it significant, nevertheless, that cuch a proposition should have been made at all in a convention composed as this one was, of men who claim to be liberals first and republicans second, and who had just de-clared in their platform that Loyal citizens have worked for twenty years hy wiilaJn ytah, wtnvin.. all p )liticl-.d- t Sjiifl for the common weal, and we denounce the transparent conspiracy wh C i has drawn a email fraction away from their former allegiance Vhile the menace and danger still remain. It is possible that Mr. Tatlock and his friends in that convention thought that the liberal party should operate, as it does, only In local elections, aud that the election of a delegate to congress is not strictly a local, but a national one. Even then it shows progress, because two years ago such a thing would not have been thought of; and it may be remembered that when a half dozen democrats belonging to the liberal party catechized Judge Good-Yjy-who was then the liberal candidate for delegate, as to his position on the Lodge bill, he answered them that this election had nothing to do with that question or indeed with any question save that of liberating Utah. Conditions have indeed changed! Methodists of Salt Lake and Utah are scanning The Times carefully for the earlist report of the Oiuhha conference, because the order of the day is one which is re-garded with much interest alike by the ministers and the people of that denomi-nation. It is that of abolishing the pastoral term limit which has been recommended by the committee on itineracy by a vote or 49 to 19. This matter has been agitated for many years in the conferences and progress has been made by extending the limit from three to rive years ; but the dec'sion of the committee now indicates that the end of the system will be decreed. One eftect oi the change would be greatly to increase the bishops' responsibility in assigning pastor-ates and to enable ministers to remain in-definitely at the pleasure of their congrega-tions in congenial churches. FRANCHISES TO POOR MEN. We hope the time has not yet come in Salt Lake City when to be poor is to be ostra-cized. That kind of thing may do in Mr- - Ai.i.i?tek'r set but it is not indigenous to the western soil. We say this because a poor man has asked the city council for a franchise on certain streets over which to build an electric car Hue. He is acting as egent in this matter for a number of respon-sible men at home and abroad. He is willing to acre)! any condition that is reasonable and ubmlt to any supervision that is just. Iu this respect he goes further than either of the two companies now operating hero. He agrees to fix the fare at & uniform rate of 5 cents all over th ; line and as far out as the penitentiary. He binds himself not to consolidate his line with any other, except by consent of the council, so as to prevent scheming. Woric oa the new road is to commence practically at once, and hi lie pu.died to a rapid conclusion. What - th.-r-e wrong about this proposition? Where is i there, a possibility of victimizing the city We "nave not heard ot any. If this franchise ' if asked for in good faith, we will have an- - other street car line, and if it is not asked for iu good faith we certainly will not lose Oi:-- . That is all the risk we run. The orporatious which oppose the fran- - cbise must be hard up when the- - can find no other objection to raise than that the agent is impecunious. His impecuniosity is not iu question. It is not his money that is going to build this road, for if it were there would be uo road built and the fran-chise would naturally lapse, just as the Old Tort square franchise lapsed when the con-ditions attached thereto were uot fulfilled. The city then showed its generosity toward a promising enterprise, and when that en-terprise failed to materialize the city had til! the square left and the good will of the people besides. We cannot all be bloated bondholders. And if a .'nan's impecuniosity Is to be counted in this matter at all we irouid say: give him all the more of a chance because he is poor. The rich can take care of themselves. M'mx the city council grants the new rai!-ro:- franchise let them be sure to make the conditions imperative that construction must commence within a certain fixed time, long en.iuiji. U permit the company to do all ry work thoroughly, and yet brief enough to be a guarantee of good faith. We believe the. hill provides that the road shall be commenced within two months after the franchise is granted, and that it shall be finished within one year thereafter. That is ' goad enough, and will preclude the possi- - biiity of any trickery. One thing that is appropriate was done in the liberal convention yesterday. Both the delegates to Minneapolis are citizens of Salt Lake. This city is the stronghold of the party &'ii the fact was properly recognized in the selection of Judge Goonwiv and Mr. Ai.i.en a delegates to the national runveti- - ' tion. For the contrary reason the democrats who have never elected a candidate in this city, except in a precinct, should have gone outside to got their delegates.
