While he was have been sent here for us to worry quite amiably about the increase poles and wires, forgetting, perhaps, that the new company proposes to go underground, in the busines districts, at least. The new concern states that it proposes to give none but the latest and most improved instruments and submits samples. That it will put in an automatic switchboard, such as is used in Paris and Berlin; that it will cut the rates far and away below present prices. Surely that should be enough to warrant giving it a franchise. But in addition to these advantages it also proposes to give to the municipality free telephones to the amount of about $5,000 per year, thus reducing the expenses of the city government. It is this kind of work the present grabbing corporation fears. It has to charge heavy rates to pay royalties to the Bell Telephone company whose instruments it uses and which owns half of its stock. The new company can buy its instruments outright and own them;. the present company cannot. Until such relief as the granting of this franchise is afforded, the people of this city can look for nothing better than a continuation of the system of extortion which prevails. With three or four exceptions, there are independent telephones in every important city in the United States, and they have been found most advantageous to the people. In some cities the independent companies had hard fights to get franchises. All sorts of plans, including bribery and corruption, were resorted to in order to thwart them. To an observer of the course of events here in the telephone matter there is very strong circumstantial evidence that very improper influences have been used right here in Salt Lake. VISITORS FROM BEYOND THE RIVER. waiting for the ultimatum to reach him, and yearned no doubt for the soft touch of the Angel of Death with its welcome caress, no murmur escaped from his lips. Though his surgeons state that his pains must have character, he been of a spoke no word of reproach. All he did was to count the days as they passed and to reckon, when the shadow's gathered at evening time, that he was one day nearer home. Some three months ago Lyons lost his little girl, who wTas stricken with an illness which lasted only three days. Ill though he was at the time, he bore the burden of grief with fortitude and his wife comforted with the statement that perhaps the tiny off one was better beyond About stars. weeks two the prior to his passing away, he awoke from a short slumber and told those in the room that he had a gleam of hope from the beyond; that it was not long now ere he would part with them all and go to a better habitation, where all would be peace and rest. That the little one had visited him during the. sleep which he had enjoyed, and had told him that while he would suffer almost until the last, the time was short and to endure yet a little while longer. That she and grandmamma were waiting to welcome him home. This visit seemed to give the man even greater strength than he had yet man moand from that ifested, ment until a very short time before dissolution paid its tardy visit he suffered content with what was to follow. With the first manifestation came a sort of intuition that others would follow, and they did, for after that, whenever he dropped into a brief sleep he received other visits, and upon awakening would recite to his wife and friends what was said during the dialogues between himself and the child. Finally, when the end came, the pains ceased, and he went to his eternal rest with a smile upon his lips, murmuring the names of the little one who had left him, and that of his mother.

And should we be mistaken, let not this pleasant illusion be dispelled; let not this dream of beauty be dispelled by a cold, unimpassioned assertion of science which has no poetry in it; which offers us nothing beyond the axiom that two and two make four, or sometimes five. Rather let us breathe our lives out with the beacon light of Hope burning brightly beside our couches, for he who dies the death of a man, such as is here described, has an end full of splendor and of. more lasting comfort to his fellow: who await their several summons than he who falls in the moment of a great triumph. To die as did this man is far better than to fall in the strife; in the glamour of the battle where the soul mounts upward on the smoke of the strife, amid the shrieks of the shells and the deep singing of the great guns.
