The Tribune says the Judiciary committee of the Senate has decided against the libel bill an asked for by the Utah press. We hope not, for our requests have certainly been couched In moderate language. Newspapers ought to have rights against these worthless characters who almost in-Taribly in-Taribly constitute the plaintiffs' make up in the libel suit filed. Id the Brat place bona tide newspapers news-papers cannot afford to intentionally traduce In any way the name of an honest person, and us a rule wbsu derogatory de-rogatory statements are made against a man there is more or lss Are in the smoke made. The writer recently had a talk with one of the Senators who had made this subject a careful study, and learned that because the Tribune made an attack on Arthur Brown the morning after the famed Republican "caucus" his whole education on the subject was thrown into the waste basket and the whole press of Utah must be condemned. con-demned. Tho Tribune has no chance to prove whether Its smoke has any fire, no opportunity to retra.t its charges (?) If any were made and the press of Utah must be made to suffer for the alleged wrongs Inflicted by the Salt Lake Tribune. Let us have some rights, at least, and it I safe to say no legitimate newspaper will abuse them. WATER RIQHT3- Conaiderable of a furor is being raised at the threatened withdrawal of water rights to certain parts of the cltjr. It appears under the present law that none but those living In Plat A, Springville, have a fall right to the water flowing Into the city, except ex-cept by a special ruling made a few years ago, whereby certain restricted garden rights were vouchsafed those outside these 64 blocks. This It seems is to be withdrawn and Mr. F. C. Boyer has petitioned the Council to at least allow the old law to remain. At present there is more than enough water to submerge the whole plat and then have water to spare. It seems to us, without looking Into the subject fully, that some equitable law should be made whereby the whole city might get the benefit of all the water that comes into tho city, at least within the city limits proper. We shall have more to say on this subject and wish those Interested to either writ some articles on the subject, sub-ject, or advise ui on the pros and cons of the quest ion. TV'b are Indeed pleased to see the U. S, Senate pass a free coinage measure, but before it becomes a law, we venture ven-ture to predict, it will be killed. Tho time is not yet ripo enough for success. suc-cess. This is certainly a long stride toward success and will place the silver sil-ver cause on a higher plane. It was a painful surprise to see Senator Vilas of Wisconsin make such a fight against the bill a source that we thought to look for support from Wisconsin, practically a Western State. His bug-a-boo stories come with bad taste from a man of his supposed sup-posed Intellectual standiog.espcclally with a constituency which Is so deeply deep-ly interested In the rehabiliment of silver. He ought to be impeached by his constituents. That Springville has no waterworks water-works Is startliugly brought out when one turns one's attention to ths terrible terri-ble loss that would acrue If a Are were to break out in either of our large stores or In fact any are portion of the city. We are practically without protection, a bucket brigade would afford little, If anj protection'. , Would that a small Arc engine or ul least a chemical apparatus ap-paratus of some kind might he inr-chased inr-chased to afford ua at least a little more protection that we are at present pres-ent providad with. Tiihke is no doubt but that a large delegation of Utcnians will avail themselves of the cheap rates given to visit Leadville and the great Ice Palace, an enterprise of which any State might well be prdul. The citl-rens citl-rens of Lcadviile went down into their cash box without stiut, and in many cases with little if any expectation expecta-tion of remuneration. There Is, however, how-ever, a class of people there -non-or small subscribers to the fund, of course who intend to make enough out of the visitors to feather their nests at least, and the most exorbitant exorbit-ant charges are made for the most trivial calls. The hotels have arranged ar-ranged a $1 per head rate for all demands de-mands made on them, from acupof coffee to a meal or a itcd with a crowded out companion to sleep with. The best way to do on your arrival is to arrange to get there at noon look around for a room ami take your meals at the Ice Palace restaurant, really the best cafe in town, and at prices that art in harmony with reason. Elmek 13.

A trip to Fricl's brick yard is well worth the effort, especially if the visitor has never seen the glowing sight which looks so beautiful of a dark night, and certainly appears nice if the night be cold. Mr. Friel says to a represenative of this paper that he has had a very light demand for brick in 1895, only supplying about 150,000, while in other seasons he has fui Dished six times as many. This year he anticipates a much heavier demand as the advent of Statehood will increase prosperity on all sides, lie has already burned one kiln of 30,000 this year and this month he will start a second kiln, all of which are already contracted for. The price of brick is now so low that it will pay those intending to build to place their orders early, as a heavy demand is certain and before next fall the price will be at least II per M higher.
