exchange made some remarks about improving the city thou then mr simon called on ellas elias morris esq whom he referred to as the veteran manufacturer mr morris came forward and sald said in substance I 1 am one of the committee on manufactories manu factories it is something I 1 delight in my whole life has been given to it and I 1 am not tired of it yet either I 1 can say that all I 1 made out of the labor of my hands as well as my head I 1 employed in home manufactories manu factories applause I 1 am not one of the advocates inviting all creation to come to utah until we are ready to receive them and offer them employment it should be our purpose to launch out a little more an fn in manufacturing in something that will give employment to the people it to is labor that will build up the country voices hearl bear harl h ar in starting hundreds of manu manufactories factories that will recompense in their returns the efforts of their foun founders dera we should sit down and think a minute of all the articles that are imported and the hundreds of thousands of dollars paid out for them that can be produced right here at home I 1 will refer to one or two industries that I 1 took a little interest in for the good of this community chemical and glass works but for want of a little means and capital from the men who are talking about doing something great for utah these have been killed and lay today while we are importing our glass bottles and jars that could be produced right here at al home borne and would be had it not been for the selfishness of the meu men who combined with the railroads to crush thew them out cries very good very good so 80 operate cooperate co against these mighty corporations that are without souls when we were at work manufacturing hundreds of thou of dollars of just what we need here comes the railroad to combine with the men who ought to stand by the factories giving lower rates to cruh us out and these men who claim to be the friends of utah join in with them I 1 believe for one we should foster foste home rhome manufactories manu factories even at aboss a lose and not let lei them struggle for a little time and die away

1 have been speaking about thy they will have plenty to do salt lake to is not utah it is but a portion of the territory we must expect the operation cooperation co of those living through the length and breadth of the territory if we expect to make a success of the territorial fair I 1 wish to as an old resident of salt lake the best beat part of nay my life was spent here and I 1 tell you one

the meeting was dJa dismissed missed CURRENT TOPICS IN EUROPE it is only now after a lapse of two centuries that the minds of men seem capable of grasping the importance of the events of the great civil war of england in the seventeenth century the numerous histories that have been 1 i published shed concerning that epoch of english history plainly indicate the interest taken in the subject by both catholic and protestant churchman and nonconformist there had been revolutions and popular uprisings in the british islands at various times similar to those that had occurred on the continent and had produced no permanent but it was d during u ring the wars of the seventeenth that the british leonle de those traits of character that the english speaking people from all others true it itts is that british constitutional liberty had been growl growing ug for centuries but it had bad been in a great part merely r gul gions of land titles priestly domination or military duties too time had come when the religious character of the islanders was w to t find nd recognition in the fu fundamental law of the land and and civil liberty in the british islands became something essentially diff different brent from that enjoyed in any other part of the world the great civil war clarendon calls it the great rebellion was to a ertain extent the outcome of the reformation since the downfall of romanism the english edition of the bible had bad become not only the most popular but as green the historian says the only book about which every knew something the consequence a as that religion ath d politics to thousands of the e puritans of which cromwell and his IrOD ironsides Sides were but examples the scriptures were the very voice of god to a careless generation rhose who believed this were ready to die rather than this voice should be silenced the divine right of private j judgment was the great underlying der lying idea of that time each individual had bad the right to decide for himself nothing should be allowed to interfere with it neither parliaments nor armies nor sovereigns ere igns this A as the leaven that 1 I permeated er the armies of fairfax and cromwell charles could not understand der stand the religious strength opposed to him it is to the pressure of determined minorities that all worthy reforms are still owing and the use of force only renders the ob act aimed at more difficult of attainment P the above quotation taken from a work fou enfiled tiled arbe great civil war by mr samuel gardner way may give a faint idea of a work which is well worthy a careful perusal by both english and american readers 11 the present may be called the dull reason of parliament one may look long over the empty benches in asarch of a character 11 lly ally there are only two persons in the bhe house of commons whose appearance pe arance and peculiar ways nays it is 18 worth the while for an impressionist to bo study these two are mr glad done atone and the ogorman poorman PG orman mahon mr gladstone it would seem is a life study one never dever gets weary of him he is one of the most picturesque tur esque of men his mobile face his gestures his habits the constant byplay of passion and humor and human interest of every kind of he is the centre are a joy forever and then the ogorman mahon who that ha hadeen has been seen him can torget forget the duelist of fifty years apo ago the handsome old giant with his crown of waving white hair his eccentric dress dres 8 his unforgettable able hat his old world m inners anere and speech with that belong to the days of major pendennis Peu Pen dennis half a century ago bright and gladstone were lifelong friends of the ogorman mao mahon and the latter is so BO still it is touching to to see the old men sometimes meet an fn in lobby or cor ri dorand exchange greetings both have that touch of courtesy which now new seems to be eying out with the cluse close of the century newspaper reporters claim that there is no fun in the house houpe of commons nowadays now a days dvis everybody is so respectable the fib members are all on their best behavior they wear irreproachable costs coats and hate and if you want to gain ain ad admission mis to the gallery of the rouse house they are the ones to apply to that is if you want to get in queen elizabeth of roumania Rou maria is coming to england and of course there is a flutter aflutter of excitement perhaps some of our american liter jiter aries will recognize her best by her nom de plume of carmen sylva under this title tille she is more widely known than any woman on the continent both her poetical and prose works are widely read and some of her paintings adorn the cathedral of her capital she has established art schools and encouraged industry by holding exhibitions in rou bou mania she has taken part in philanthropic wor kand founded industrial schools hospitals hospital sete etc the heart of her husband has safely trusted her and though she is said to take no part in politics she is the kings trusted counselor on all matters in the russo turkish war she was with the doumanian Rou manian soldiers before plevna as a sick nurse and as so attentive to the wounded soldiers that she received the title of 1 ku ma banitt lor 11 or mother of the wounded war was over army presented her with a silver statuette representing her as giving a drink to a dying soldier it is needless to add that such a woman is popular the great question now is if she and stanley should land in england at the same hame time where ohl obi where would they find enough enthusiasm to give each one a proper reception nt at the same time but I 1 must stop this reverie the bell is ringing a letter from the west 1 I am going home I 1 have lingered Jing ered long enough in europe I 1 will lay down my pen n pack up my trun kand be off for tre the land of the the west good bye old 01 J europe there to is a spot beyond the raging canal dearer to me than
