BROUGHT To TERMS.

In October. 1886. the business men
and citizens generally of Rochester,
N. Y, entered a vigorous protest
against the extortionate charges by the
telephone company. They OBJECTED to
paying 600 per cent. and over
of the value a year for the
use of the instruments, and de-
clared they would not submit to the
robbery. The company, with the hog
gishness of a monopoly, said the people
must submit, wherein pom the latter,
4ae and all, struck" that is to
say, they ordered the company to re
move the instruments from their
houses. The &C mpany said that having
once used the telephone, the bus ness
men could not do without it, while the
business men declared that they had
struggled along when there was no tele-
phone, and would endeavor to do so
again. For eighteen months the
strike" was maintained, and the teIe-
phone determinedly boycotted, the for
mer patrons standing by each
other and working harmonlously
together against the robbery
For some time past the company has
been making overtures, and has finally
come to the Rochester peoples terms,
even lower rates than were
demanded when the boycott began The
hello" is again heard in the city, but it
IS said that fully fifty Fer cent. of the
strikers having learned that their
business did not fa Il offwith the removal

WORKING TO THE PROGRAMME.

1t is wired that Mrs. Blaine and the
ladies of her party, instead of making
the contemplated coaching tour Of
Scotland with the Carnegies, will sail
for home on June 10th. Nothing is said
of Mr.. Blaine. but it is presumed, as a
matter of course, that he will come on
the same vessel with his wife. 1t is not
likely that he will loiter about the old
country when his presence here will be
in sucn demand. AS Ve understand it
this Homecoming is in strict accord
with the original programme which was
made up before the distinguished
statesman went abroad. TIE pro-
grsmme included the writing of the
letter of "declination" which was not
to decline, last January, and The return
in June just after the convention had
nominated him in stite Of himself.
Blaine sails on the 10Th. and when
the conventOa Goes is work he
Will lie on the ocean, teyond the reach

committee was appointed to meet him
on his arrival AMI tell him what was
done; that be will be told tat his party
and his country call for b m, and he
must sacrifice his personal feelings and
show that he i true patriot. To save
the nation he will yield, and consent to
serve his party and his country. All
this will increase the enthusiasm and
win friends for tie maa who did not
seek the place, but accepted only be-
cause his countrymen, as one man,
called him to lead them to victory.

gramme, and up to tie present time,

nEALTHFUL PROGRESS.

1t should be matter for congratula-
ton that the boom" features have dis
appeared from local affairs, and the
progress, &C iyity and development
which we see, are legitimate aad solid.
AT the rate We were proceeding a few
weeks ago, tne community would soon
have gone to financial destruction. II
could not nave continued the mad
rush without serious disaster. A few,
we understand, kept up the reckless
ness until they were hurt, though the
rage did not last long enough o materi-
aliy inlure the town. The furry IN land
prices was quieted before the contsglon
had become general. and now that buy
ersand sellers have gotten their sensts,
things are moving along in proper
manner. This is not to be understood
as indicating or intimatiug discour-
aging turn of affairs. On the contrary,
it speaks well for she good
sense and judgment OF the people
that they were able 10 stop short
before one of those disastrous
western booms asserted itself here, with
all Its mischievons work and conse-
ausnces. AS matter of fact greater
real progress is being made now than
would be if the boom" were on
Advancing prices does no. indicate |
progress and development. P1ling up |
brick and stone, operating mills and |
factories, and employing labor are What |
tell of advance, aud that is what they |
are doing as to Salt Lake TO day. There |
has never before been such a time for |
building, a careful estimate giving it |
that there is going up new dwelling
house for every block in the city, while |
several handsome and extensive bust
ness houses are in course of erection.
Double the number of brick will be
used this year that has been laid n
anv year since Salt Lake was city;
more industries and manufacturing
enterprises will be inaugIrated; there
was never before time when SO many
strangers were on the street: never be-
fore were artisans, mechanics AMI labor
ers more generally employed, it being
said that no man willing TO work for fair
wages is idle. More public i'm
proYements are contemplated and
under way than ever before. and an air
of business activity and prosperity is
everywhere manifest. This ig the kind
of boom that will most benefit the
city, for it is progress which will not be
followed by retreat. The ground Gov
cred will be held. There is nothing
wild. reckless or speculative in the at
mosphere. Wisdom and good common
sense are guiding things. and safety is
the watchword.
We should all feel grateful that mat
tiers have assumed healthy tone, and
we shall all do our utmost to maintain
this wholesome, safe and steady condi-
ton OF things.

PICKLING WORKS.

tention is to confne the operations this

thousands of dollars ara sent out of the
Territory every year for bottled
pickles. and it is claimed that they can
be grown and put up here for mu ch less
than the imported article costs. /. is
believed that with a capital of $4,000
the industry can be established, and it
is proposed to raise the sum at once

crop this season. Twenty-Five per cent.

sub :cribed, and 1t is not thought there

Mr.. Blaine has forced himself upon the

gressiyeness in the matter have not
helped him with either politicians or
people. He is now forcing the conven-
ton to go to him, and the changed
tactics should prove advantageous.
