Show kj ' Supt Condla proposes to clean, the streets, 1C It takes all summer. ; t As a matter of principle, tho Mayor j would rather have tilings his way than 'bo right. I i Seeing: that the Japs had sent In some j fchlps to be sunk, tho Russians gencr- j pusly assisted in tho sinking. I No ono can deny that tho now city ndminlstration Is truly Democratic when it causes a lot of laboring peoplo ko lose their Jobs. It is only fair to Councilman Fern-'ttrom Fern-'ttrom to say that ho is clever enough to so adapt himsolf to circumstances as to bo almost always wrong. j A woman standing on a comer can I hot see why she should bo told to move j bn, when It is the other women near j tocr who are obstructing tho walk. The Republican Councllmen, however, J do not understand that they were J elected for the purpose of winning the Uiearty approval of office-seeking Democrats. I Many of our robust citizens can not thelp feeling that tho effort to keep them from lounging on the streets is very ill-timed, ill-timed, when the weather is becoming so pleasant. Mayor Morris is prepared to show that our system of municipal government govern-ment would be much more desirable if the body known as tho City Council were" cut out. IJ The fund for the families of the murdered mur-dered car men should bo made at least an even five thousand dollars. It Is now $4953. This sum is a commendable one to raise for the purpose, and no doubt the company in whose service and for the protection of whose property prop-erty the men lost their lives, will aid materially to the Income from the fund. The method proposed, of making the sum contributed into a trust fund, the income and a portion of the principal of which may be drawn as needed, is doubtless the best that could be devised, de-vised, with the proviso that tho principal prin-cipal be left untouched if possible. I-F. Manchuria Is said to be rising against fthe Russians. This was to have been texpecled. Tho Initial successes of the jiTapanese give the Manchus heart to revolt, and they are naturally a brave, 'Bghling'race. It will be very awkward for Russia if tho revolt in that province pro-vince becomes general, for it is a great province, having an area of 362,310 quaro miles (about equal to the combined com-bined areas of Utah, Colorado, "Wyo-ming "Wyo-ming and Idaho), and a population of ,500,000. Besides this, no doubt a large number of men from the north of Chi-taa Chi-taa will undoubtedly flock to Manchuria Ao join the banners there in their revolt. re-volt. It is the most significant piece tof news of the day; the revolt is a most Eerious affair for Russia. I The ruling by the Utah Supreme court Jin the Brown case will, it is to be hoped, pave the way for the Introduction of a moro rational practice in our courts. Everything under our present system ; tsecms to make for delay, and for the consumption of timo In technicalities and dilatory motions, which are received with an exaggerated respect' when they ehould be brushed aside instantly, in-stantly, and the court go on with its business. The way the courts proceed at times, It seems- little less than a miracle that an end la ever made to any case. If the emphatic words of the court In this unsavory Brown case should have tho effect of leading to new and better procedure, then even its malodor-ousnoss malodor-ousnoss will not have disgusted the community in vain. In. spite of protests, the Importation tof Chinamen to work in the mines of South Africa appears to be Inevitable. The mines there have got just about as far as. they can in the process of re- 1 sumlng full activity, and mu.st have more labor. The Kaffirs are no longer under compulsion, as they were under Boer dominance, and refuse to work. Rt. Rev. Jorcph C. Hartzcll, missionary 1 bishop of the American M. E. church, vho has returned recently from that j part of the world, says that tho impor- j tation of Chinese labor is inevitable, but that it should be under a strict stipulation for the return of the labor-cih. labor-cih. There will be no difficulty about H that stipulation; it will be made, and the Chinese companies will see that it Is enforced, as they do in this country. What tho world la interested in la the full production of tho gold which theso mines ought to yield. |
