establish it. In laying the matter be-
fore Postmaster General Hatton, Dele
gate Caine called attention to the favor
able reports on file, to the fact that Salt
Lake had neutrality-suspicious. its postal
transactions were large enough,
and it possessed all the other
statutory qualifications Mr. Hat
ton said he would look into the mat
ter at once and day or two later the
order directing the establishment of the
carrier system in Salt Lake was issued.
This is the first Territorial City to which

Everything is dragging slowly along
here. Mr.. Randall states that the APP
preparation bills are in as advanced a
state as usual at this season of the year
Work Oh them is already progressing.
1t is anticipated that there will be an
other controversy between the House
and the Senate over the naval appropri-
alton bill, as during the preceding SEES
sion, and that the result is likely to be
just as unsatisfactory.
The introduction of the Sherman
Davis controversy into the Senate by
resolution of Senator Hawley created
little excitement, but was a dismal dis
appointment to many who anticipated
season of blood and thunder. Some of
| the papers now claim that had that con-
troversy been started before the last
campaign, it would have elected James
G. Blaine. This declaration reads well
in the face of the appeal of the Republi-
can party orators to that deep down
sentiment of the American voter, which
is not to be changed by mere bagatelles,
and the utterances or feelings of men,
however glowingly and with whatever
plausible sophistry they may be set
didn't get his tail sawed off, so Mr..
Blaine is left.
Mrs. Lockwood is nothing if not
original and surprising. In her Equal
Rights she comedies the presidency to
Cleveland gracefully; but few days
ago she had introduced petition in the
Senate by one. Hoar setting forth her
candidacy, the fact that votes were cast
for her and that the entire electoral
vote of Indiana was cast for her. She
wishes to know why these votes were
not counted, and demands that her
position in the candidacy be taken form
al notice OF. This has the appearance
OF being ridiculous, an appearance
which is largely justified by the charac-
ter of old lady Hoar by whom it was in
troduced but if any one takes Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood for geese" he
entertains a serious mistake. Eccentric
she may be, but she has just about as
large an idea of right and wrong as one
could wish, and which would prove
! profitable to many prominent and pub
! lie men. She asserts that the constitu-
ton, in her deliberate opinion, m axes it
| permissible not only for women to vote,
but also to hold Office. There is princi-
pie involved in the controversy; she
does not hope that any action will be
taken, or that her petition will affect
matters one jot or little; but she does
not propose, if her efforts can prevent
it, that this principle shall be lost sight
| of. nor ignored, nor be kept out of the
records. There are good many things
| to be admired in Mrs. Lockwood, and
the probabilities are that those who view
her as fool, are.largely constructed on
the fool principle themselves. The Nor
mon people of Utah have at least ocea-
| sion to be grateful to her for her defense
of them at time when, to a person less
courageous, less filled with principle,
such course would have been fraught
with disaster and future defeat. Long
may Belya wave. She's my candidate,
even if she would give the tricycle.

There is representation of Bartholdi's
Statue of Liberty in the rotunda of the
capitol. 1t attracts great deal OF at
tention from visitors. v1
The arrangement for the dedication OF
the Washington Monument is that the
literary exercises shall take place in the
House part of the capitol. The seating
capacity is placed at 1900, or there
about, which means exclusion to vast
number of people who would be glad to
hear the proceedings. To remedy this
a proposition is made to hold the literary
part of the dedicatory exercises in the
new pension building situated on
Judiciary Square, the capacity OF which
is placed at 5000. The building is I'M
finished, but it is understood it is suffi-
GENTLY advanced to justify the exercises
being given there. The suggestion, how
ever, does not seem to have attracted
serious attention, for which reason the
probabilities are that it will not be
adopted.
