THE PoSTOFFICE SITE,


Views OF Commissioner EGdmOnds-
The District Not Ready 20 Ask for n
Building Yet.
The city postoflice site question Is still
awaiting tho report by Senator Malone
and Representative Stoekslager, the joint
subcommittee having charge of the mat
ter. Mr.. Malone is now in the city, but
Mr.. Stockslager is out of the city. The
views of the members of the committee as
to tho most suitable location arc unknown,
but before decision is reached they will
carefully examine tho claims Of every
site yet mentioned. The proposition to
combine the district government and
postotlice in one building is favorably
spoken of, and there is only one difficulty
to overcome. Tho district commissioners
think that q now building Ia necessary to
protect the records of tho city and
lives Of the government employees,
and the present building has
been pronounced unsafe, and totally
unfit for the purpose for which it is used.
Tho ono obstacle TO be overcome is the
want of money. The District owns con-
siderable property, which IL they could
exchange with tho United States for
credit, would enable them to put in their
share Of tho cost of building an edifice
for the postoilice and District offices.
1.-THE commissioners do not yet SEQ
their wav clear to ask for building for
tho District Offices" said Commissioner
Edmonds yesterday, "for there are many
other improvements needed. If wo
could exchange our property we could go
to tho front and pay our portion Of the
expense of erecting building for the
postoffice and District government offices,
aud l think tho proposition to do this
is good one. As yet we have
not been consulted as to the
most suitable site for q postofiice, and
We have appeared before no committee
relative to it. Several sites have been
recommended to us, but We are not will
ing to take any Of them If, as say. we
can exchange some of our property. The
revenues do not guarantee our asking for
a district building. We need money for
streets and county roads improvements;
for water and the further perfection OF
the sewerage system. There have been
two or throc good sites spoke of for a

COL. BETS ESTATE.
A Curious story About n Diamond
Stud Which Had Been Stolen.


Stud Which Had Been Stolen.
In August last, colored woman named
Lena Moss was arrested in North Carolina
for robbing man named Shafrer Of a
pocketbook containing over 500 in
money and diamond stud. 1t was after
wards found that the diamond and
money was the property of Col. w. II.
Belts, who had recently died. The man
Shafier held the property subject to tho
action of the court pending his applica-
ton for letters of administration on
Belts estate. The deceased's widow OPP
posed tho application. Shaffer and DIR.
Jolly produced will purporting to have
been made by Col. Belts, acknowl-
edging himself to DO indebted to
them. Tho court, however granted
letters on tho estate to Mrs. Belts, and
yesterday notice was made directing
the register to turn over to her or her
counsel any property that he might hold.
Tho register turned tho property includ-
ing the diamond stud to Col. Charles Pei
ham, her counsel The colonel took the
stud to the firm of Harris & Shafer, jew
elers, and asked its value. The answer
was not satisfactory, and Dir. Pelham be-
came suspicious that it was not Col.
Betts's original stud. He called on Lieut..
Arnold and the latter said that the stud
shown him was not the one taken from
the Moss woman. The stud shown was a
bogus diamond worth probably 75 cents.
Col. Pelham left the stud with the jewell
ers and will, it is thought, attempt to got
the right one.
When the stud was recovered Lieut..
Arnold took to the above named jewelry
firm and had its value fixed at $25, and
one Of tho members of tho firm identi-
fed it as one that had been sold to Col.
Belts. Lieut.. Arnold turned it over to
the property clerk, and when the case
against the woman was concluded it was
turned into the court, and was not dis
turbed until 1t was given to Col. Pelham
yesterday. Every ono interested wants
to know where Col. Betts's stud is and
where the substitute came from.

SILVER DOLLARS IN THE WEST.
Plenty of subsidiary Coin for Use.
Hut the AnIt.Silver Men Don't
Want te Send Gut the
silver Dollar.

For some weeks the whole country west
OF the Missouri River has been restricted
! in the use of the silver dollar. For ex-
ample. the banks OF Salt Lake have been
quite destitute OF the standard dollar and
have been compelled to borrow from one
another, outside banks, and to send to
Washington for the convenient coin. This
unpleasant state ofaffairs is brought about
! by the Eastern bankers waging war
against the bankers of the West Any
amount in silver dollars becomes legal
tender, and not before has the export de-
mand fallen short, as is now the case.
In conversation with the Union Ma
tional Bank of Salt Lake, a DEMOCRAT
reporter was told few facts leading to
the restriction of the dollar in the West.
1t is well known that Utah, Colorado,
Idaho and many States OF the West are
kept alive principally through their silver
productions. The fact that the West
possesses the silver used by the East
seems to have created jealousy, SO to
speak, and it is being satisfied by eastern
bankers, through Treasurer Jordan, pro-
curing all the obtainable silver dollars
and sending west simply the subsidiary
Or fractional coins, consisting of halves,
quarters, ten and five-cent pieces.
Walker Brothers purchased several
thousand dollars of this small coinage
this week, as they were unable to get
the standard dollars. This condition of
affairs is damaging to the West and
profitable to the East, as no sum larger
than $40 in subsidiary coin is recognized
as legal tender in the transaction OF law
full business. To get the standard dollar,
certificates OF deposit drawing interest
have to be first deposited, and three
weeks time is consumed in securing
them from Washington, which amounts
to loss in interest on the certificates.
Yesterday the American Bankers As
ISOLATION convened at Chicago for two
days action in the matter relative to the
present situation. The bankers OF Colo
RADIO, and all persons interested in the
silver industry the West, including Utah
and the adjoining Territories, received
letters OF invitation requiring attendance
and cooperation in the matter of adjust
ment. The West is generally against the
demonstration OF silver, and some gem
tlemen from this city, including Mr.. w.
Mccormick and L. s. Hills, are now
at the convention. Mr.. Mccormick
represent the silver interests OF Utah
and the West, and the resolutions oil the
convention are awaited impatiently by the
silver men of Utah. The situation presents
sort OF Greece out" on the part OF East
ern bankers, and some parties have even
censured the Treasurer as being partial.

in the near future be organized, and if
organized and properly managed, will
make a showing that will compare fav-
orably with any of the inter-mountain

i Peculiar Position.

The position which Bishop Sharp o.
cupies at the present time is a very pe.
culiar and embarrassing one. His state
ment given to the court and his after
action are somewhat at variance and it is
thought that he was caught in tran
One thing seems clear to us according to
his statement that he is still 'holdino
OUT his wives. We deeply deplore that
so great man as Bishop Sharp should
waive the right OF free speech and
especially when that right may be
needed in defending and advocating
religious principle. 4 strong
point unfavorable to the Bishon's
course is the commentator which
the enemies Of this people, with whom
ne has been associated so long. are be-
slowing upon him. They deem his action
victory on their side. We deem his ar.
ton, as 3 whole, inconsistent with his
position in the church, but We ara in
cllned to the opinion that it will not
count SO great victory against the Nor
mons as may be supposed. He will be
heid accountable for his own course and
the right OF free agency is his. But there
are those who will sustain the principles
OF truth embraced IN the Gospel regard,
less or prison bars, the loss OF wealth Or
the contempt OF the worldly wise.-Tfob

Go.It.AIone.Girls Club,

The young ladies of New Rochelle,
New York, tired OF being compared to
the clinging vine that derives support and
countenance from alleged masculine oaks,
and probably more tired OF visiting for the
masculine escorts who never come, have
organized themselves into "We-can-go-
it alone club" and they do go it alone
They exclude young men from their enter
tainments and picnics, and advertise that
during the coming winter they expect to
have straw sleigh rides, at which muffs
shall take the place of coat sleeves as q
means of keeping the hands warm.
They have begun bravely. 1t is said
that one of the Go-it-alones accepted an
invitation to accompany young man to
an ice cream saloon, but insisted on pay
ing for her own share of the sweetmeats,
and when the young man demurred she
promptly paid for his, too. They do not
send for messenger boys to escort them
to the theatre. The club just goes in
body, and as it is composed Of all the
pretty girls in the town, it does not need
protecting or escorting. They so to the
horse races in the same way. How long
this we-can-go-it-alone fashion will last in
New Rochelle no one is rash enough to
predict. The bachelors OF the town are
driven to the extremity OF flirting with
New York girls, which they do with some
show of alacrity, in the hope that jealousy
will cause the dissolution of the club in
time. So far, however, there is no sign
OF weakening on the part OF the We-can-
go-it-alones. They are as saucy and in
different as lot Of little misses just from
school, and absolutely declare they are
having lots OF fun.-Philadelphia Times.

The Row Over RoumeIia,

No matter what complications may fol-
low, the revolution in Roumelia will
remain phenomenal for the adroitness
with which it was managed and the sue
cess with which it was attended. A
whole people united to throw off the
bondage of Turkish misrule and the
emancipation occurred without the strik
ing OF a blow or the shedding of drop
OF blood. Rounelia is now attached to
Bulgaria and there is no likelihood that
the revolution which made the change
will ever 90 backward Bulgaria was
erected into an independent principalitv
as a result OF the late Turco-Rus.
sian war, and it has been fairly pros
perons since that time. Roumelia. Bos-
MA and Herzegovina should have been
treated with equal consideration at that
time, but the Berlin Conference decided
otherwise and the uprising in Roumelia
was only question of time. But no ono
supposed it would have succeeded so
quietly. Turkey may protest, but Russia
and Austria will undoubtedly see that
the Turks are not allowed to retake their
lost province by force, treaty or no treaty.

Nothing Less Than an Abandonment OF
PrineiD1e.

Bishop sharp's action before the Third
District Court is evidently causing con-
siderable discussion-both favorable and
unfavorable to the Bishop. The general
sentiment OF the people called Latter-day
Saints is evidently eondemnatory of the
Bishops course, while that OF the anti
Mormon element Is OF an approving and
even laudatory character. The Bishop is
now said to be feeling painfully the posi-
ton his action has placed him in before
his co-religionists, and denies that his
statement was of compromising char
acter. Bishop Sharp's course,
while it makes the anti-Mormon conspir-
ators jubilant, is undoubtedly source OF
surprise and regret throughout the entire
community OF Latter-day Saints. The
course OF Bishop John Sharp, in the esti-
nation of his co-religionists, is no more
justifiable Or compatible with the sacred
obligations assumed by the Latter-day
Saints than was the weak-minded course
OF Orson Arnold.-P'Ouo Enquirer, 29d.
