WHARF REVENUES.

At the request of Judge H. O. Maher,
who has chafge of the Donaldsonville
wharf under the resolutions adopted by the
Common Council in December last, we
publish below comparative statement of
the wharf dues paid by Messrs. Bernard
Lemann & Brother for the first four
months of the years 1884 and 1885 respect
lively. The OBJECT Of the publication is to
demonstrate that the revenues of the wharf
have largely decreased within the past year,
Judge Maher being apprehensivo that, in
the absence of evidence on this point, the
Impression might arise from the editorial
in the CHIEF of last week that the income
of the public institution in his keeping is
not fully accounted for. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to say that no such intimation was
intended by us. The diversion of public
revenues into private pockets - of which
we spoke referred to the prodigel compcn-
sation paid to the keepers of the wlarf and
market-house, amounting to nearly forty
per cent. OF the income in one instance and
nearly fifty per cent. in the other. We are
not attacking tho individuals who are the
benefciaries of this pernicious system; It
Is the system itself to which we are op-
posed. Judge Maher and Capt. Dalferes
are probably as efficient in the performance
| OF the duties and obligations imposed Ly
their SO called contracts as any other two
citizens of the town could be, but this does
not alter the fact that these contracts .
are deleterSous to the public interests.
Following is the statement of wharf dues
paid by Alcssrs. Lcmann & Bro. above
mentioned:

i NEW RIVER TURNPIKE,

The proposition broaehed some months
|: ago to make turnpike road Of New River
Lane has been revived and is shortly to be
carried into effect, as will be seen by refer
ence to the resolutions On the subject
adopted at last Wednesdays session Of the
Police Jury. TIE problem Of keeping this
important and much neglected public thor
oughfare il il good condition is one that has
been long pending without satisfactory
solution, and it remains to be seen whether
the plan now offered for accomplishing the
desired end will meet with the favor II the
people interested
The scheme is. in brief, to place the road
in charge Of Joint stock company for a
period of ten years, with the privilege of
erecting toll gates and s1aeting fees for
the passage through them Of pedestrians,
animals and vehicles, according to sched-
ule Of prices annexed to the Police jury
resolutions and published Herewith. The
company is to advance $500 for the pur-
pose of putting the road in good order, and
to maintain it in that condition during the
term of its eharter-that is, for ten years
from the LIST of November; 1856, or from
such earlier date as the road may be in
readiness fot use as turnpike. The paro-
chial authorities are to contribute $500 to
the fund for placing the road in good order
and 500 per annum thereafter.
The company which is to haye control of
this turnpike was incorporated last We'd
nesday, by notarial act passed before G. A.
Gondran, Esq. It's title is the New River
Lane Road Joint Stock Company and the
officers are Jos. Gonzales, president: 0. A.
Bullion, vice president; Jos. St. Amant
secretary; Leon Picard, treasurer
These arc all prominent and respected
citizens of the seventh and eighth wards
the section of the parish most concerned in
the prQject-and under their direction the
objects of the new corporation ought to be
carried CIT in the most efficient and salts
factory manner.

A MINER ON THE TRIBUNE.
A Deliver IN the Earth Who Passes
Some Bitter Reflections On
the Retailer of Filth.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:

To the Editor Of THE HERALD:
The Salt Lake Tribune has been for
many years discussing the question of
Mormonism, with the opportunity of
accomplishing much that was. good.
But as the saying is a great deal depends
upnn the way or manner of. doing
t ings. Much of its patronage is re-
ceived from the mining class, who form
no inconsideraole part of the popula-
ton of Utah. 1t has been SO unfortun-
ate as to pander to the prejudices rather
than appeal to the reason of the readers
of the paper, which is by no means con-
sidered as a compliment either to the
sentiments or intelligence of the better
class of men among them, many OF
whom are tired and disgusted with its
senseless twaddle, have ceased to sub
scribe for the paper.
Had its course been different, it was
in it, power to have obtained and re-
tanned the respects and good will of the
Mo mons. how much they may have
differed with the Tribune in their views.
And thus would its influence for good
have been more forcible among PEG
pie, who universally, judging from the
edito iais, look upon the paper as their
enemy. But we cannot expect the
character of an editorial to rise higher
than the source from whence it came.
And though we never expect the Salt
Lake Tribune to lift itself up to q very
high andard, we regret to have it to
say that 1t has not been very success
ful advocate of the cause of reform in
this Territory.
Utah isnow passing Through changes
which 1t is to be hoped, will eventually
result in good to all who intend to make
this permanent home. And when st
no distant time, the prejudices of the
present day shall have passed away
the general welfare of all the people be-
ing the same, and all pulling together
for the true advancement and prosper
ity Of the Territory, these will be
needed q journal to represent the peo-
pie of Utah with higher aims and
more conciliatory spirit than is at pre-
sent eyinced by the Tribune newspaper.

HAZEITON HAZlNGS.

HAzELroN, March ., 1885.
To the Editor of the EAGLE.
Hazelton comes 10 the front again.
March is lamb down here. Business
OF all kinds is improving after the bad
weather. Hazelton's two lumber yards
are in full blast and about fifteen pri-
waite and business buildings are being
pushed as fast a. they can be. Fisher
Bros. have most of the lumber on the
ground for six two-story cottages, that
will be for rent.
J. O. Hazelton has about the same
number contracted for and there are
numbers of others going IN.
Our silver band gets out upon the
street and makes Rome howl these
bright moonlight evenings.
The crop of babies is good and the
prospects finer than ever.
How many men are left in Pennsyl-
yania. About one-half of seven coun-
ties, has emigrated TO this place and
still they come. The gentle land agent
maketh his heart glad when he seeth
the stages roll into town loaded down
with them.
Farmers will be a little late with
their oats aud other crops this spring
because they could not get any time to
pillow in the winter.
Hazeltop is temperance town, and
don't YOU forget it. The temperance
league has all the best men in the place
in its ranks, and have determined to
prove to The country that they can
have a temperance town and bust
ness town one and the same. This
county has been resting place for
Sumner and Sedgwick and other coun-
lies gamblers about long enough, and
If some one does not make start il
will get left. Yours, j. W.

ENCLAND'S OPPORTUNITY.

Boston Pilot: The madmen are at

fish people will cheer half insane and
wholly dlsreputable murderess, and
80, coo, 600 people of Irish blood half
sympathize with the desperate luna
tics who would burn down London, il
is time for both sides to pause. IL is
time for both England and Ireland TO
answer this question: Is it too late to
be friends? In the present
hour of her calamity and grief, we
say 10 England that she can steal
the exultation out of lrishmen's hearts
by granting the justice that they now
ask. but will soon demand from her.
A hondred years ago when she had TO
grant Ireland a free parliament, the
position of England was not so peril
Gus as il is now, nor had the Irish peo-
pie then one-tenth of their present
strength. One magBanimous states
man in England, one leader with the
courage and wisdom of genius would
solidify the British empire to-day with
a master-stroke of politics. He would
abolish the union. and leave Ireland
as she stood eighty-fve years ago, a
happy. free, confederated part of the
