required and requires of themz Is it to be
supposed for an instant that the rush of
gamb ers, prostitutes, dizzy actors and
strollers of various descriptions to Ogden
Immediately after the election would have
taken place but for the certainty that those
police would be appointed! Certainly not!
But the Commercial proceeds from bad
to worse by saying as it goes along that
the council should not stand idly by while
federal police supplant their own without
entering protest. This can be done in a
manner which will brig about an under
standing. Ogden is naturally receptacle
for large class of not desirable people these
are our italics, but the Commercials words
just as every booming, thrifty town is.
These have been constantly arriving all
summer. The police marshals] have
driven away scores of them, but others
follow. The fight on the worthless tramps
must be kept up and increased in vigor.
The council must not leave bar down.
Let it not be said there is need for martial
law, and above all do not tolerate it.'' But
here is the cap sheaf: ''See that Ogden
does not become the resort for gamblers
pure and keep the government in your own
hands"
We would, ourselves, suggest that mod
ification so much as TO bring the Ogden OF
the present down somewhere near to Salt
Lakes plane of morals, would be an i'm
provement not to be despised. That it is
not so is Modification" on the part of those
in charge of the offices there. And then,
above all, why does Republican paper OBJ
iect to federal control in municipal affairs!
1t is tenet of the Republican gospel that
not even states, let alone municipalities,
have any rights which the general govern
ment need respect whenever it sees fit not
to do So For shield of the faith of BEN
JAMIN, such language, such objections, are
seditious, REASONABLE, outrageous. "nulli-
flying"
The Commercial is comical.

THE ONLY EDISON.

Those who imagine that THOMAS a. Ed
SON, the greatest of all inventors, ancient
or modern, is always in his laboratory, or
dways at work, are greatly mistaken. 1t
is questionable if a brain like his is ever
free from activity, sleeping or waking, but
he enjoys himself after the manner of
men occasionally. He passed through
| Utah, on his way to the Pacific coast, about
ten years ago. and if he did not enjoy
himself then he should have done so, for
he was certainly free from that misfortune
of greatness which generally attends it on
its travels, that is, being the observed of
all observers. The cause of this was
his commonplace appearance. The writer
may have seen him then. but if he did the
great presence passed unrecognized. He
has recently, according to the New
York World, fallen head over heels into
big pot of luck. For the past few days the
cables have been busy telling about the
decoration he received from the King of
Italy 1t is a matter of fact that King
HUMBERT heard Of Edison long before he
saw him. A rich Italian gentleman, Sig.
ENRICo CAPELLo, who formerly resided in
this country, heard through friends of
EDIsoN's photograph, and purchased the
right to sell it in Italy. AS preliminary
step to this enterprise, Sig. CoPELLo visited
Rome, taking with him the first phono-
graph ever seen in the kingdom. 1t was
exhibited before representatives of the
senate and chamber of deputies, leading
scientists and King HUMBERT. The King
dictated a congratulatory message to the in
ventor and requested Sig. CoPELLo to carry
toQueen MARGARET at Venice photograph
message. The King was SO pleased that
he requested Sig. Copello to invite Mr.
Edison to Rome, which invitation the latter
accepted.
1t is doubtless good thing for the in
ventor and the public as well that one of
his alleged conceits was abandoned. We
have reference to a continuance which was
to be to the ear what the telescope is to the
eye; that is, if you saw two people talking
a mile away, just get the proper focus on
them and everything they said would be
distinctly heard. Such machine would |
soon drive friendship, SO called, out of the |
world. We don't want to hear everything |
that is said of US, nor for others to hear all |
we say of them.
