The New YoRK Sun thinks Speake T
Carlisle would make a first class candi-
date for President, and so lie would.
But there seems to be no place to crowd
him in. The labor party has made it's
nomination, the woman sufrsgists
have selected Mrs. BeIva Lockwood,
Blaine has mortgage on the Repub-
lican nomination, and all the delegates
to the st. Louis convention are COM
mitted to Cleveland. AS Carlisle halls
from Kentucky, it IS not among the
proba bilities that the prohlbitionists
will take him up, hence the Suns man
must wait.

THE CANYON DRIVE.

The City Council has appointed s
commiCtee TO confer with the county
authorities in reference to the construc'
ton of a road III City Greek Canyon.
THE HERALD is not acquainted with
the intentions of the municipal author
tiles il this matter, bat it hopes they
are broad and liberal. We have one
beautiful park: that is 10 say, there IS
the foundation aud it has been built
upon wisely, to acartain extent Nature
is proceeding in her own way to make
Liberty Park q mos Cbarming spot.
For all time that will be place where
men and women and children will 60 for
fresh air, for shade, to enjoy the grass,
the flowers and the trees. to rest and
make merry. 1t will always be the
great breathing place for the citizens
That park will always represent the
beautiful and the peaceful in nature,
and will ever be attractive and inviting.
Now let US have the opposite in nature
the grand and majestic, the inspiring
and the rugged.
THE HERALD has a suggestion
to praeent. It is that the drive
in City Creek be really and
truly mountain drive. such as another
city would construct if it possessed our
opportunities and advant ages. Let the
road be begun, say on Arsenal Hill, at
the head of East Templs Street, and
constructed thence to the bed OF the
canyon by regular and easy grade,
following the gulIies and indentations in
the sides of the mountains, running
over hills and through hollows, always
by the same gradient. Having reached |
the canyon bed from the west, continue
the road by the same grade
around the mountain on the
east, until it comes out en- one of the |
streets on the north bench. Of coars9
q broad road will be constructed from
the mouth to the head OF the canyon |
along the bottom of the gorge, near the
creek. When better supply of water
for the city shall be obtained, trees
may bs planted along the suggested
road, and irrigated from City Creek.
The drive here proposed would be
grand beyond anything in America. 1t
would cost so nothing, it is true, but it
would be worth to the town all the
money expand d for its construction
and maintenance.
We have a delightful valley park
with charming, level drive among
trees and turf and flowers; and We have
an opportunity to create a grand
park, with. drive that will
be as inspiring and exhila rating as the
other is mildly beautiful.
What say the City Council and the
County Court? ,

AMERICAN woRKINGMEN are coming in

migrants arrive in this country every

not only cruelty burdensome, but are
inpudently Inconsistent.

GOOD BOOMING.

The boom that we like to see is that
which comes from the spending of
money for permanent improvements,
and the boomers who should be en-
couraged are those who show their
faith in a more substantial manner
than bv loud talk and by solicitous ap-
meals to strangers. There are a few
men on East Temple Street who are
booming the city in an effective man
ner. They are erecting handsome bust
ness blocks, spending thousands of
dollars for stone, brick, lumber and
labor. They are giving notice to the
world that they have faith in the pros
Deritv and permanency of Salt Lake as
a commercial centre and city of homes.
There are boomers of the right stripe
in various parts of the city, and they
include the men who are charging and
improving their residences, identifying
their premises, and showing their con-
ddeuce in the burg and their satisfa ction

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please pub
lish this letter for the benefit Of many comrades
who are making inquiries about Puget Sound,
the surrounding country, and the climate. We
have very mild climate in Winter and have
rain instead of snow, and the rain is not cold.
This seems strange, being so far north as we
are, but such is the case. The Sound is a very
beautiful body of water with many beautiful
bayous and dotted with islands, which make
grand scenery, with the coast range Of mount
aims with their snowy peaks looking down on
the beautiful water, making fine display of
the country This is as near as / can describe
it. Regarding the land l viii say that we
have some land here that is not fit for use !;
this is the upland, it being very rocky and full
of gravel. Then there is another class Of land
that is very good for fruits, such apples pears
plums, strawberries, and will grow good clover
and hay. The bottom and swamp land will
raise everything that can be grown in the coun-
try; but remember, this land is all timbered,
and viii cost you from $25 to 500 per acre to
clear it, but after you have it ready for Guilt
walton you are sure of a crop, it matters not
what you plant. This land viii raise from
three to four tons Of timothy hay per acre.
The timber is mostly fir, spruce and
cedar ranging from two feet to six feet in
diameter. The bottom land is alder and
maple. We have wild berries, such as black
berries, raspberries, thimbe berries strawber-
RES, and several other kinds. There IS Gov
eminent land but it is not very close to market,
from 10 to 20 miles from Tacoma. There is
railroad land that can be bought from So to $40
per acre on 10 years time with per cent. in
terest. Hop raising is a paying business, and
we raise very fine quality. This country is
adapted to grow most all kinds of grain with
the exception of corn; it grows, but will not
ripen, because Of the length of the growing
season and wet weather in the Fall. The
country is healthy, and / have never seen any
person suffering with rheumatism or lung dis.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Why so much
ado over the graves Of dead soldiers? Didn't
We pay them for their services?" Such was the
utterance of prominent citizen Of COnnect-
cut town in the p0stofiiee May 20, 1874. Such
a remark electrified the veteran soldier who
had been selected to deliver an address the fol-
lowing morning under the shadow OF the Capt.
Nathan Hale monument, where the people
assembled 10 decorate the graves Of our dead
heroes. who had sacrificed their lives for the
salvation Of their country.
The remark Of the previous evening was the
topic Of the speakers address. l. Speaking Of
the service rendered; 2. What had been
achieved as a result; g. Discussed the question
whether they had been paid, etc.
Didn't we pay them for it?" read the
speaker. The dead whose graves we cover
with natures choicest gifts Of beauty permeate
the air with fragrance as they fan from the
hands Of loving mothers, soldiers widowed wife
and orphan children, followed by the still liV-
ing comrade soldiers Of the dead, mingling
tears Of mutual sympathy, with the conscious
ness that days months aud years Of unceasing
mourning are before US, which can never re-
munerate our irrcparable loss. We mediate
what might have been Of earthly prosperity as
the heritage Of these broken families had lost
loved ones tarricd at home instead of resnond-
ing TO their country's CALI The speaker chal-
lenged, Has the Nation paid these and the

/ question 70 you: Has the Nation paid you for
] the loss Of that arm, for the loss of your leg;
I veteran, for the loss Of your eyes? Are you

commensurate TO the services rendered and the
/ injuries sustained; when every continuous
widow Of dead soldiers is pensioned and every
orphan of faithful soldiers is properly cared

Port Hudson.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is pleasant
to see the desire for truth shown in the cor
rections made by comrades, and since Mr.. w.
T. Denmure corrects Mr.. Weber as to Port
Hudson, it is seemingly evident he wishes only
the facts published. According to the official
reports the Mississippi had no gunboat dashed
alongside, as did the three other vessels, and
was last in the line in the attempted passing Of
the Port Hudson batteries, March Ii, 1863.
They sailed up on the starboard side close to
the east bank. The Mississippi grounded, ow-
ing to the dense smoke caused by the firing,
and remained so until 3 a. m. some time after
she had been fred and abandoned. The two
other vessels were disabled and fell back down
the river, the Mississippi in no way interfering
or preventing their passing.
Gen. Banks had but 10000 men at the time,
and his loss was very slight; the only force
encountered being the rebel pickets, who at
once fell back on the works as the army APP
preached. The disposition of the forces was
such as to prevent any attack on the TANKS,
the right being covered by provisional bril-
gade of infantry, cavalry and artillery, under
Col. i. l.. Molneux, on the Clinton road in
rear of the fort and Gen. Growers Division at
the intersection Of the Bayou Sara and Spring
field Landing road, with Gen. Emory to his
left covering to the river; Gen. Augur being
in reserve. If any Massachusetts, regiment
was - cut VI" by our shells, or any other shells
it was not officially reported. Wan. E. TIE

all the articles recently published in your pa

burg, and finding that they all differ so very
much, / am inclined to think the boys are get
ting old and forgetful find in your last is
sue an article written by Serg't E. NJ. Catferty,
Co. b. seth N. Y, in which he states that the
two bridges in front Of the city were laid by
the 18th and 50th N. Y. Engineers, and the
third one by men from Franklin's Corps. l
would like to ask this comrade, as well as all
the others who have written on the subject il
they ever saw or heard of battalion of U. S.
Engineers who did actually build the pontoon
bridges opposite the city OF Fredericksburg in
the face of a terrific fire from the enemy 2
They did the work and others received the
credit
We lost several men, Killed and wounded,
including one commissioned officer at that cross
ing. This same body of men did very valu,
able service during the war being in the field
the whole period and sconstantly building
bridges and constructing earthworks, as nearly
every man was a practical engineer.-I. III
