Show The coy Mr. Roylance docs not care for the Democratic nomination for Gov-Bj Gov-Bj ernor, but will look around and see if ho can j Is the Council now to so far forget 11- self as to become harmonious and un-Interesting? un-Interesting? There Is a confident feeling, however, that the ingenious Mr. Fernstrom will j sustain his well-earned reputation by working up considerable strife from time to time. Hl The Hon. Jake Greenewald's political ship has come in and tied up at the port of Salt Lake. Perhaps Brother Roberts would like to go to the St. Louis convention so as to benefit the church by giving it fur-tlier fur-tlier trouble. Little now' remains to insure the making up of the Democratlo State ticket entirely of Provo citizens, except to sccuro the Hon. Sam King's consent to run for Attorney-General. If the Socialists divide their strength by putting two tickets In the field, tho Hi Democrats will be able to beat them R easily. fl The police are doing something prac- Hfi tlc.il' In the line of smoke evil abatc- Hh ment by raiding the opium Joints. H The Hon. Jake Grcenewald, who is to ' be surveyor of the port of Salt Lake, HJ was for several seasons stationed at the port of Saltair. Hl o H Notwithstanding the backward spring, the florists in the millinery I stores expect to have all kinds of flow- ers out by Easter. I Paris society has a new sport, that 1 of playing football while waltzing. The Hl dancing of many of our young folks HJ i during the past year has given them good training for this novelty. HVl The Paris court before which the Hfl suit of the Republic of Colombia 1 against the Panama Canal Company 1 has been heard, has completed the Hlfl case and will give its judgment on Hfl April 1st. It Is to be hoped that the decision may not accord with the bad repute of the day. B It is good to hear that the lively storm of "Wednesday nignt was general, HH and especially that It extended into the Hl southern part of the State, where mois- HR ture was much needed. Advices from the Dixie country we to th& effect Hfl that now was very shallow in the Hl mountains, and the outlook rather dls- Hl couraglng. It Is to bo hoped that this H9 storm has given the people there the fl needed relief. HJB The Western Union has been diiigent 3a betimes in getting the telegraph conccs- H8 sion along the San Pedro line the Salt H9 Lake route. It will be a paying busi- 'H ness, too; tho communication between Hj.'il this city and Lob Angeles on the com- I pletlon of the new road is sure to be Hj-jj botn intimate and constant The tele- H M graph facilities will complete the Uno H M of this intercourse in accordance with HqB modern methods and requirements. lV Hul The German people and officials are H8 getting plenty of proof that the war B in southeast Africa was precipitated Hwl hy the creed and high-handedness of I the unscrupulous traders. Theee wore HB exceedingly harsh in their exactions II and collections, even going to tho I length of taking cattlo belonging to II one man for the payment of another II man's- debt. It is a plain case that rob- Hj bery and outrage brought on tho war; II and it is probably true also that the IB ' officials connived at the evils or, they H could not have been perpetrated. flj s,r Edwin Arnold, whose death is III announced from London, was not very IB old according to English standards; In IH fact, he would be classed as a young II man, compared with Gladstone and flj other veterans. He was born at HI Rochester, England, Juno 10, 1832, and Hi early turned hla attention to Buddhism IH1 and the Sanskrit language. Ho has III been a voluminous writer on many WM subjects, his most Important work be- Ing "The Light of Asia," published In 1879, which was an appreciation of the good influence of Buddhism on the Asiatlo peoples, with commendatory poems also on Mohammedan influence. His Christian cple, "The Light of the World," published in 1531, was by no means equal to his "Light of Asia." His later work was in the form of letters let-ters to newspapers In London, many of thorn from Japan, which he found much to his taste. Mr. Arnold's famo as a literary man and critic has stood very high for many years; but it is doubtful if it will be permanent. |
