rU1LIDaE,s oUARrrRLY mAeAz1yE,

the July number of Tullidge's Quar-
terly is before US. 1t opens with a
sketch of the life of George A Smith,
"the Father of the Southern Settle
ments," illustrated with one of those
finely executed steel plates for which
this magazine has become noted AS
for the subject matter TuHidge's Quar-
terLy is invaluably to Utah, for
besides its well sustained department
of magazine literature it is Il rich re-
poSitory of histories, not merely of
Salt Lake City but in design of every
city and settlement of Utah. This is
illustrated in the number before us by
an invaluable historical paper on Provo
embracing its colonization, Indian
wars, growth of the city, commerce,
manufactures, education, journalism
ETC., with the names of the Provo
colony, facts worth remembering
of its miscellaneous record and
Biographies of prominent citizens. Fol
lowing the history of Provo is tribute
to the memory of the late David o.
Calder; next an excellent paper from the
pen of H. w. Naisbitt. ''Our Utah
poets" command their page. Youth
and Age" by the veteran poet John
Lyon, is quite a gem. Spring" intro
duces Master Orion Snow, a Youthful
nephew of the poetess Eliza r. Snow ;
while the subject of 1.-THE Lovers" is
gracefully treated by the accomplished
pen OF VIM. Gill Mills, who has also a
very valuable paper in this number on
Martin Luther. MILFORD Woodruff's
valuable autobiography continues Civ
ing an epitome OF the early history of
the Mormon Mission in Great Britain.
IAN Historical Tale, )" by Hannah T.
King, shows much talent in the
old English hero of romance,
William. Prince of Orange, in the old
historical cast, from the pen of e. w.
'Tullidge, supports Mrs. Kings chapter
OF romance of the days of King Harry
VIII. But the paper that will attract
the most notice in this number of Tul-
lidge's is from the pen of Hon. John r.
Mcbride, Pioneer lDaysain the Noun
tains." The contents closes with a
magnificent installment of the History
of Salt Lake City.
The current number contains chap
tiers XIV to XXXVII of the History
OF Salt Lake, with a finely executed
steel engraving of President A. o.
Smoot, once mayor of this city.

eign countries, with the single excep-
ton of Germany, where education is
almost universal because compulsory.
The proportion of children from six to
fifteen years of age who attend schools
here is so nearly exhaustive of the list
that compulsion would seem to be al
most a useless provision, and the best
methods. systems, books and teachers
to be obtained are found everywhere.
In view of these facts, it is highly de-
sirable that. the progress being made
toward the best development and the
highest standards be unbroken by the
interposition of partisan plans and po-
litical agitation. Schools and school
systems should be held aloof from Sec
tiopal and bigoted strife, and only those
who manifest disposition to improve
and make the most of what there is at
hand, be entrusted with the conduct OF
affairs. This means that there
should be nc changes in any
uepdI tulSuG ~ present..
Those who seek to make of our school
meetings the shambles in which OPP
ponents may be bought, sold and
slaughtered, are not the highest type of
the cultivated citizen, and when such
claim that they are advancing the cause
of education by such means, they
simply announce to the world their own
lack of knowledge as to what consti-
tutes the greatest good for the greatest
number of the rising generation. 1t is
not that A on the part of the majority
is a better man in the conduct OF
school affairs than B, who represents
the minority it is simply the arraying
OF A and Bias opponents for the posi-
ton and working for them as though
the Office were political one, wherein
the mischief crops out; and if party
lines are, as they ought to be, ignored in
such proceedings, and the fittest men
chosen, the records and probable faith
fulness of each should be taken into
consideration and acted upon; this
would mean no change.
At the late election f% school
trustees in the Seventh district, an
able man was chosen, but he was no
more able than his opponent and lacked
the experience of the latter. We have
no regrets to express in relation to the
matter further than that fitness was not
specially considered and the result of
the contest proclaimed as a partisan
victory by the friends of the successful
candidate; and have no requests to
make further than that the one elected
will disappoint his adherents by being
impartial and filling the measure of his
calling judiciously and well. This we
believe he intends to do.
On Monday the Eighth district has a
meeting to determine whether or not a
tax shall be levied for the purpose of
building a schoolhouse. Let there be a
full attendance; let nothing in the ma
ture of opposing views on other ques-
tons be permitted to enter the consid-
alton of the matter; let each and
everyone vote as he deems best for the
interests of those who have natural
right to look to US for support first and
education next-and THE HERALD will
be satisfied, as will all rightminded
people, whatever may be the outcome.

HAND AND RING. BY Anna Katharine
Green, New York: G. P. Putnam Sons.
The author has grown suddenly pop
-ular, and her latest effort, Hand and
Ring" viii tend to widen her popularity
and bring her nearer the affections of
the reading public. The murder of a
lonely widow is made the basis of an
intensely interesting story, with plot
that is delicately intricate. The tale
demonstrates that deetives are often as
far at sea in regard to the true perpe-
traitor of crime as people of ordinary
shrewdness. The story which is of the
detective order, has none of the low
features of tales of this class 1t will be
found interes ting reading.

titled care Charlestown's Interests
Identical with those of the South?"
In it several suggestions and queries
appear, but nothing practical is sug-
gested, and the article might be let
pass without further notice but for
the fact that persons unfamiliar with
our people and their circumstances,
might form an unfavorablc opinion
about us, and for their vindicat;On ]

erty Of speaking for them. and say
yes. But if :: Plus - is at all familiar
with the financial affairs of our pco-
pie, he must know that there is not a
superabundance of wealth among us,
and that what wealth we do possess is
invested in the principal and most i'm
portant industry of agriculture, and
our energies are being bent to its de-
velopment and perfection, and with
what success he needs only to look
at our tceming fields when harvest
comes. Again, we are familiar with
that industry and arc not with the one
he mentions. 1t is known fact, that
man can succeed best in that pur-
suit with which he is most familiar.
I suppose there are not three persons
in our community who could invest
oven five thousand dollars in manu-
features, without Withdrawing it from
the support of agriculture; conse-
qucntly the establishment of manu-
features by home individual enter
prise, is out of the question. The
only remaining method whereby the
object could be accomplished, would
be by combination. Within the last
two years our citizens have started
three ioint-stOck companies, viz: Gas
and Water Company, Eagle Machine
Company, and Roscllc Manufacturing
Company, many of the stockholders
making sacrifices for what they con-
sidcrcd the public good, expecting to
be remuncrated by an increase of
population and business. Have the
facts justified their expectations? Is
not the contrary the fact? Their lit
tic savings so invested are laying idle
and unproductive.
Plus may rest assured that
when our people have any surplus
capital, and can be convinced that it
will pay to invest in manufacturing,
they will not be slow about risking it

A Peep Into the Next Council
Chamber.

First meeting to organize, with a
full board. The new Mayor, Esrom
Slifer, with gavel in hand, having
been sworn in by the ex-NIayor, pro-
ceeded to qualify David Howell elect
as Recorder. Next came NJ. L. Avis
and D. S. Hughes, of the first Ward,
who being sworn in, took their seats
ready for action. Then when the
second Ward men elect were called
to the Book, DIR. w. F. Lippitt and
Jno. p. German stepped forward and
were qualified, and took their places.
Lastly, his Honor called for the elect
from the third Ward, and 10 and
behold, Jacob o. Tutwilcr and Robert
Phillips came forward, and are duly
sworn in as COuncilmen from that
ward. Thus ended the organization of
the Charlcstown Council for two years.
The Mayor then read his inaugural
address, which was az follows:
Gentlemen: Before proceeding to
business, desire to submit a brief
summary Of what, in my opinion,
should characterize the citizens SER
wants of this corporation, for the
present year at least. Economy, as
guiding Influence, should mark all
our acts in the discharge of our Of
fetal duties; I mean that whatever is
necessary to be done, should be done
well, but at the least sum that it can
be done at, and to do it well. The
peoples taxes are placed in our hands
for the peoples benefit, and not for
the benefit of any individual, be he
in or out of this Council. The streets
which are necessary to be graded, if
any, and macadamized, should be
those most used, and so on until all
are made good. The sidewalks must
be substantially paved, and the pres
ent breakneck stone pavcments re-
placed with passable walks. The hogs
in mid summer, are less nuisance in
the streets and allies than in stencil
begctting pens, poI!uting the whole
neighborhood; but if you think they
should be kept up, then must the pens
be kept clean, under weekly inspcc-
ton committee. The cow-in ordi-
nance should be one of the first re-
pealcd, which will not only allow poor
people to keep COW and have nice
milk for their families, but will save
the expense of moving the streets,
which caused our predecessors some
money to do. Drunkenness and dis
order must not be permitted.
Whereupon, with one voice, the
whole Council said so mote it be.
The above is the result of Morpheus
and his dreamers, in slumbering con-
vention assembled. But in dreams
the most profound subjects arc devel-
oped, and if we may Judge of the
qualifications of the new Council thus
chosen, we are confirmed in the wis
dom of dreams, and hope that waking
citizens may benefit by the dreamels
convention.
