Considerable dismay is created lu Republican camps by the alleged attitude atti-tude of our senators who in their zeal for partisan glory have made silver secondary to party Issues. The Democrats Dem-ocrats are silently rejoicing, while itonie Republicans openly repudiate, ten to the reduction of impeachment impeach-ment resolutions in the Legislature. Others affect to think it will have no ITect on the question. We are disappointed that anything snircestivc of weakness shonld have arisen. We thought and hoped that party interests would be subserved to this great desideratum. All Western papers, the Tribune In particular, have made silver their omniscient cry rer since their first issues; all their Republican, anti-Mormon, pro-Mormon or whatnot has ever had the fleam of silver shining through with such brilliancy that it has attained a national reputation. Still It will affect af-fect to apologize for our representatives representa-tives when they even momentarily subserve silver to partv Issues. We of the West must not flinch when a silver fight is on. The East has its forces too well in hand. "FOOLISH LEGISLATION". The Dcieret News has descended from its lofty pedestal of newspaper ethics and shown the low characteristics character-istics of a petlfogcr and charlatan. It has had a monopoly of the news paper field so long, both in Salt Lakt and in Utah, that now), that It has establishment of local country papers it has uncovered Its ears and shown itself the donkey, and with a characteristic char-acteristic bray emits the following: Among the propositions of an improper im-proper character that have been presented, pre-sented, some of which have received committee endorsement, are several arbitrarily fixing the prices which the State, or those acting In pursuance pursu-ance of statutory mandate, shall pay for certain commodities. Such pleas as upholding the wages of working-men, working-men, etc., have beca urged In support of these propositions, when In fact not one of them would have any bearing bear-ing toward the reoult alleged to be sought. Some of these have been disposed dis-posed of already, and others like them are now pending. Among the latter may bo named one which received the endorsement of the committee on printing that fixing the price to be paid for legal notices required by law to be published. Of course the advertising adver-tising space of a newspaper is a matter of merchandise, just as the butter and sugar of a grocer; and there would be as much sense in enacting en-acting a law requiring the State to pay a certain price, and neither more nor less, for the butter that might be needed in State prison supplies as to say what it shall pay for advertising. In the particular bill In question, certain prices are fixed for legal notices. The publication of such notices Is now done even by the big dally papers at about one-third the price Oxcd In the bill; so that its effect, If It becomes law, would bo to fleece those who had to pay for the notices; and If the figure fixed by law had been to low, the papers would roerc'y decline to dispose of their space for such a price, as they have a perfect right to do. There are some things which the Legislature can regulate under exist ing circumstances, and others which it cannot and be consistent. Of the latter as such matters of business and commerce as the item referred to; and the best thing a committee can do whso a bill with auch a string to it is offered Is to kill It without wasting the time of open legislative sessions to discuss Its provisions. Painstaking members of the lawmaking body do not relish a general dlscusslou of ab surd or foolish legislation. If any one can show wherein this great nation has suffered by establish Ing a rat for legal aud land notices we would be pleased to know it. A rate is made for laud notices that in rait- is fixed to bar (how who might e barge too much. The hill l as follows; fol-lows; Skction I. Printers shall be entitled en-titled to the following fees: For publishing any legal notice, or any order, citation, summons or any other proceeding or advertisement required re-quired by law to be published in any newspaper, at a rate not deeding one dollar per square of two hundred and fifty cms for the' first insertion, and fifty cents per square of two hundred hun-dred and fifty ems for each subsequent insertion. For publishing any noticr of sale for taxes, for all the insertions, twenty-! ve cents. Who suffers by this exorbitance? Does the .State, or the litigant pay it? Does some estate? Or sonic land grabber? And does the publisher put the money in his pocket, or does he spend it? Can anyone tell of fortunes having been mado by the country or even, city papei? , We can't help thinking that the News would like to have a law made that would ifive them the b'gal advertising adver-tising for el tics which have no paper, but in which the aforesaid News circulates cir-culates feebly. We understand our city fathers are contemplating sonic legislation fur better sidewalks. An ordinance that would secure bridges over the ditches is badly needed, and can become a law none too soon. Manti Messenger. Manti has a population less by over 100 than Springville and is intending to improve Its Main street and repair their by-street. Why can't we have our streets fixed up?- Here our Main street looks like a plowed field, and the bridge which everyons takes so much pride in is a tough looking rock pile. The whole winter has gone by and for a month past the very best of weather has been sent us to uot to clean up our streets. No, it has been used to sun our bummers on the street corners and promote laziness sometimes called "spring fever." Our Main street is a disgrace to civilization, civiliza-tion, let alone such a lovely city as Springville has the reputation of bc- any poll tax funds left let's make a special assessment or pass around the hat if needs be, and at least protect our reputation rep-utation on the Main streets.

People are writing from Salt Lake, 'What's the matter with Brigham City?" Our answer Is: "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth."

The Bugler alwayi breathes an air of contentment that of course reflects the characteristics of the people, and of course the Lord helps those who help themselves even though lie may be under the necessity of using a small proportion of chastening broth.

It Is a noticeable fact that many good items are lost to newspapers every week by the modesty of the people who hesitate to tell the re- porter matters concerning themselves, The right thing to do is to stop a newspaper man on the 6treet or any other place you may happen to meet him, and tell him you have been on a visit, have relatives and friends visiting visit-ing you, that your wife entertained company, or any thing that is In any way a matter of news.

Dallin, who have just finished the statue of Sir Isaac Newton. The Bulletin says: "A private view of Cyrus E.
