One Of the needs of Salt Lake is g

ments that are usually not attended
by large audiences. The Theatre
and Opera House are both too large
and too expensive for any except
the best-drawing lectures. Beecher,
on account Of his unsavory reputa-
ton and the morbid curiosity of
even a Utah community, can gel a
fair sized and paying audience into
the Theatre, and Talmage, the aero.
bat of the pulpit, is able to attract
enough of those interested in wit
Messing the antics of a ministerial
gymnast to pay the cost of either of
the playhouses. But there are
many quite popular lecturers whose
drawing" qualities are SO limited
that in either of the houses they
would be under the necessity
OF paying expenses from other
sources than the sale of tick
cts; and yet these lecturers
are really good, and at popular prices
would attract paying audiences in
cheap halls. Only now and then
can a concert be given in the Thea
tire or Opera House. In order to
meet the cost the price Of tickets has
to be placed so high that only a few
people will buy. The result is, that

There are practically no halls in
the city suitable for lectures, con-

GOVERNMENT AND THE TELE-
GRAPH.

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the government assuming
contrel of the telegraph is presented
by Gardiner G. Hubbard in the
current number of the North Azaert-
can Reoieao. The opposition to the
propositiQa is based in the popular
sentiment against the placing of
more power into the hands of the
administration,lo ,lor bringing the gen.
sral government into closer rela-
tions with the people. Already the
patronage of the administration ex-
tends to civil list numbering
something more than 100000. There
might come time when this army
Of effice-holders would prove dan
gerous tc free popular government;
ut all times it is a prominent factor
in party politics, giving the ins a
decided, If not alarming, advantage
syer the outs. To increase this
power on the part of the central
government is thought to be laz-
ardous and full of peril. But the
suestien arises, would the people
suffer more from the extension
of patronage such as is contem>
plated by government control of
the telegraph, than from a continu-
snce of the unbreakabie mon.
epoly in the hands of soulless cor
poration? Mr.. Hubbard shows
that by reason Of higher tariffs the
telegraph rates have increased 10
per cent. since 1878; that since 1867
the people have given to the West
ern Union s74,s56,oOo for cash div
idends and stock, during the same
time paying s11O,OOO.ooo for the
operating expenses of the company

One among the first matters tie city
council exercises its 'sordaining'' prcrog-
ative upon should be an ordinance pro-
hiblting stock from running at large
within the city limits, and providing a
pound to be used IN enforcing it. The
principle Of such law IS eminently cor
rect and just, IN that 1t requires persons
who own stock to take care Of it; in other
words, it requires of those who own stock
10 fence it IN instead of those who do not
to fence it out. While 1t may be urged
that many poor families own cows and it
is hardship for them to be compelled to
keep them in an enclosure and buy feed
for them it IS still greater hardship for
those who are not able to own cows to be
compelled to fence against them to pro-
tect their gardens from destruction. The
garden making season is now at hand,
with hardly lot or garden In town
fenced, and the town is full of cows aud
horses running at large.

Night before last E. NJ. Chase, who,
while waiting for the completion of the
building at Darlington, in which he and
Ed. Strong Will engage in the mercantile
business, and having come down to spend
a few days socially with his old friends IN
jamestown. came IN to seek vlrtuous re-
pose at the DAKOTA house. He had tar
ried out until about the midnight hour,
when he came in and at once proceeded
to his room. On opening the door his
hair raised his hat nearly up to the CELL
ing, when he beheld woman's toggery
lying around the room, long hair careless
ly streaming out over the pillow and an
elevation OF the bed clothes about such us
he thought the form Of a woman under
meath would make. He had read in the

take in the room. Satisfied on this point
he went down stairs and preached the fu-
neral of the night clerk for putting wo-
man in his bed. The innocent clerk d1sa-
vowed all knowledge of the affair, but
to no purpose. After about an hour Chase
settled down in chair muttering impre-
cations upon the stupidity of night hote
clerks in general. The clerk then quietly
stole up stairs to investigate ths matter
and found the supposed woman was an
eftigy which some of the devilish boys had
put in Chase's bed. The clerk was then
ahead, and came down and took Chase I'D
to the room to see for hlmself As Chase
lay in bed thinking over the matter no
one will ever know what passed throu gh
his minu, but without any hesitation
when he rose in the morning he went
straightway over to the depot, slipped a

The refusal of President Arthur to

tempt to exterm1nate Guiteau while act
Ing as guard over that infamous murderer,
seems like carrying the matter to an un-
necessary extreme. Mason being in the
military service was tried by court
martial under the IRON clad and unbend-
ing rules of military discipline. If he
had been tried by civil court, there IL
hardly question but that he would have
been acquitted, for juries bend the law
to suit all circumstances. Although the
intent Of Mason was unmlstakable, there
was nothing in the circumstances that
showed wicked and abandoned heart,
which is tho measure of crime. These
elements are to be presumed, Of course,
but the circumstances do not warrant Z
