NOT A BOOM TOWN.

The collapse of real estate agencie
now and then, and the departure fo
other fields of gentlemen who came here
and opened Offices and undertook to in
augurate boom" prove the truth Of
what TIE HERALD said months ago
that boom methods as they have been
applied and practiced elsewhere Will not
succeed in Salt Lake. Our people are
not Of the excitable class. Thsir heads
are not easily turned. Visions
of quick fortunes do not
cause them to cast aside their iudg-
ment and common sense, and become
wild and reckless. They are not given
to speculation, butmust have reason
able motive for their action. No other
community in America-and especially
is this true of the VESTS so steady
going and nom excitable as this one. 1t
is this peculiar aud we mCst say praise
worthy characteristic which make boom
practices out of place and unsuccess-
full here. The people, Is a whole,
insist upon legitimate, straightforward
business, or upon none. They are not
accustomed to the booming ways, and
do not propose to familiarizs themselves
with those ways. Whatever possesses
merit and is based on good judgment
will find encouragement and support,
but the faueiful and speculative will
fail. 1t might as will be stated again
here, that neither real estate agent
nor q bayer of real estate is
going to get rich by a sud-
den appreciation of values. Work
up all the enthusiasm possible and do
all you can to inspire people with boom
ideas, and you will fail to turn any
bodv's head in the matter of real estate
values. Land will sell for about what
it is really worth, and the man who
buys with the expectation Of selling for
more through boom efforts will be very
apt to meet disappointment.
Salt Lake is progressing. She is max
ing more rapid strides than in the past;
but there is no boom" in her ad-
vance, nor will there be any. The
progress will be steady, and the ground
covered will be held. In the long run
we will be farther ahead than the boom
towns. We will have nothing to regret,
no burdensome weight to carry because
none will be recklessly shouldered.
The doping by the wayside OF real
estate concerns and the failure OF specu-
lators and boomers should and will cut
no figure in the city's affairs. They
will not retard the general advance
and will not give the town a "black-
eye" rs some fear and predict. There
is a certain amount OF legitimate bust
ness here; if there are more men to do
that business than are necessary and
can make living from it. the surplus
will have to go. Their going will hurt
nobody, aud will not in the slightest de-
gree retard the steady and safe progress
of Salt Lake. PLAINLY this is not boom
town, and cannot be made one,

the slaves at once would bring bank
ruptoy upon thousands, and for time
linjuriously affect trade and produe-
ton, as both were regulated more OF
less by slave labor. Hence, the gradual
abolition wss instituted, and owners
we're paid a certain price for their
liberated slaves. In seven years more
the emancipation would have been
complete and all slaves peen free.
Princess Isabella, however. the heir
to the imperial throne, was not con-
tent to wait; she has always been op.
posed to the barbarous system, and
her father, Dom Peiro, had no sooner
gone to Europe and left her at the head
OF the Empire, than she determined to
hasten this work which he had in
augurated. She proposed to her
ministers and parliament immediate
emancipation, but her plan was not
approved. tho aristocrats who were 10
favor OF slavery being in the
majority in the c.hinet and i
Parliament. But she was not
to be baf1sd. She dismissed the opp2s-
ing ministers aud called in others with
broader and more liberal minds, and
the latter having agreed TO her plan she
set TO work to win parliament, which
she accomplished, and the emancipa-
ton act having been passed, few days
ago the decree was issued making
slavery thing of the past in the En-
pire of Brazil. Isabella has shown in
this matter as in others that she is
broad-minded nob'e-hearted woman
who will provs herself the worthy sue
csssor Of one CT the best rulers the
world has seen.
1t has cost Brazil only o fraction OF
The money which it cost the United |
States to abolish slavery; no blood has
BEEN split. and it will not require a |
quarter Of century to eradicate the |
,nmity eBgendered among the people. |
Americans must confess that the wis
lom and the craftsmanship of the |
8rszilians have been superior to their |
OWN.

TWO SNUFF.BOxEs.
Why They Are Placed on Zach Side
the Senate Chamber,

Why They Are Placed on Zach Side of
the Senate Chamber.
Most Of the visitors who look through the
senate chamber, says the Washington Pos
notice two PLAIN black snuff-boxes fastened
TO molding on the wall, one ON each side
OF the presiding officers table They are
very plain black hqxes and during the re-
cess there Is very seldom any snuff in
either Of them, but while the Senate is in
session Captain Bassett is Just as careful
to keep these boxes provided with snuff as
he is about the other requirements of the
Senate. The wonder is often expressed
why these boxes are there. The simple
reason is that sometimes q Senator wants
TO snuh. Captain Bassett snuffs himself.
and in former times, as long back IS when
the Senate chamber was the room where
the United States Supreme Court now sit,
Senators, chief among them Henry Clay,
would call upon the Captain for q snuff
Mr.. Clay set the example, but the others
followed it, and Senators called upon the
Captain for a pinch so often that something
had to be done. The Captain requested to
be allowed an assistant who should at as
snun bearer 70 the Senate. but the assistant
was not allowed; so the Captain had to de-
wise some other means OF meeting the diff
Guilty. He adopted the plan of leaving his
snuff-box on the little table at which he was
accustomed to sit, but now and then some
Senator would walk away with the snuff
box and leave the rest Of his brothers in
want sno misery. The snuf-box IS now Sc
curely nailed to the wall, so that nobody can
walk on with il: and 70 be impartial the
Captain has provided two snuff-boxes, one
Tor the Republican and the other for tho
democratic side These snuf-boxes are
charitable institutions which Captain Bias
sett maintains entirely out Of his own
pocket an t1e year round for the exclusive
benefit Of United States Senators IN good
standing.

fre.dvell Kin. Clark.

A terrible shooting affair occurred at
Anthony last Saturday resulting in the
death of Charles Clark. of the live stock
firm Of Treadwell & Clark, at the hands
OF his partner, Walter Z. Treadwell.
TIE men we're seen together on the
streets il ne forenoon, apparently on
the beSS of terms with each other. In
the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Treadwell
called Clark int l. oom at the Ben
nett house, and clio g the door reach
ed under the pillow and grasped a re-
vclver and with this he shot Clark twice.
One ball took effect in the body, q few
inches below the heart, and the other
ball shattered Clark's left thigh bone.
Treadwell then left the house by a rear
way and going to the court house sur
rendered to the sheriff. Clark lived
until Monday morning at 5 O'Clock.
Neither he or Treadwell were inclined
to give any cause for the shooting; but
dispatch from Anthony says that it
occurred ON account of Treadwell's
JealOusly, he imagining that Clark was
too intimate with his, Treadwell's, di-
vorced wife. The same dispatch says
that Treadwell is wildly insane and it
is supposed that that was his condition
when he shot Clark. Both were well
known in this part of Kansas, they
having for several years been extensive
dealers in cattle, and were part lessees
of the Cherokee Strip. They have
frequently bought cattle here in Barber
county. Both were young men who
had made considerable money since
they came west. They were formerly
from Iowa, we believe.
