PROVO POINTS.

The WEATHER is certainly moderat-
nag.
AN IMMENSE quantity of ice is being
secured for future use.
A LITTLE furry of snow has added
another half inch to the very poor
sleighing; not enough snow yet to
cover the cobble rocks in the streets.
In ANSWER to question frequently
asked of late, | will say no, have not
resigned the agency of THE HERALD,
and hope to continue loyal to my first
love.
tDiE DUsEHBERRY seems to endorse
.ne Governors ideas of issuing bonds
for the ben. fit of the Insane Asylum
aad other benevolent institutions of the
Territory.
THE GOVERNORS message has been
the absorbing topic of conversation
since Yesterday morning. A large ma
jority of the people here endorse THE
HERALD's comments on the message
and they regard the latter as intended
for outside effect, and more as the
Governors message to Congress than to
the Legislature of Utah. az
The ABSENCE of our Provo members
of the Legislature is observable, and
the yacuous space lett in the social
atmosphere remains unoccupied. We
are obliged to live along as best we can
without Thurman's advice in political
matters, and although the others are
not missed so much, yet we miss the
ideas of one on the subject of collecting
taxes, and the opinions of the other on
the proper management of newspapers
Ia general.
THE LIBERALS heartily endorse the
Governors structures on Mormonism,
though some cannot understand why
the Legislature is urged to pass such
laws as will do away with the U tab
Commission. Take it all together the
Liberals regard tho Governors message
as winning card. and to win is what
they are hopeing for. It is not the
triumph of any principle that CONCERNS
them, they merely want to reach the
aesh-pots. A grand right-and. left,
double flip flop or stand on-your-head--
its all the same, provided they can win |
and get into Office. st
The NEW Brigham Young Academy |
building stands with the walls covered |
about six feet above the rock founda-
lion, just as the workmen left it two |
years ago. Considering the great good |
that has been accomplished by this in
during its existence, it does
seem that greater interest should be
manifested in the completion of the
building. It is not too much to say
hat the Brigham Young Academy has
lone more than any other institution
n this city towards the broadening of |
he mental faculties of the young peo-
Die, and leading the to the enjoyments
hat can only be realized in the science
If letters and philosophy. No one who
las observed the conditions of life in
Provo for the last fifteen years, can
lave failed to notice the steady pro-
,ress that has been made towards the
deal good; leading the mind to realize
here is some thing far beyond the
lorizon which bounds the vision
# the men of business who devote
heir energies to the details
# money getting. The young
,eople have entered land of mental
where they find relief
rom care in the companionship of the
treat minds of all ages. Extending
rom the Academy, an indefnsble
nfiuence has .permeated all
lasses'of society. At the present time
be Academy occupies rooms IN the q
J. M. /. warehouse, near the railroad :
epot. and although prospecting in one :
ense, is tagging in the march of pro-
ress on account of unsuitable sur
which makes the life of both
sachers and students disagreeable,
nd to that extent retards the useful
ess and progressive advancement of
IL concerned. ANY successful plan
hat could be devised for the compile
on of the new B. Y. Academy building,
ould really be a greater benefit to
rovo, and to the Territory generally
han all the insane asylums, county
ills or other public buildings put to-
ether. AS B.
