The Central Pacific express trains due

cause of the delay being heavy storms in

thing IS altogether lovely and the Pacific

A large audience thronged the courtroom
of the First district court yesterday, where
the trial of Brainard and Robinson, on the
charge of forgery, was going on. The de-

The petition of the city council to the
postmaster general, as learned by the
special dispatch to THE HERALD, has
caused that official to detail an inspector to
inquire into the matter. 1t is to be hoped

The HERALDs editorial yesterday morn
ing on the possibility of flood next spring

fiat places Some of the OUTLYING settle
ments were nearly submerged. and boats
and RATS were employed to get about the
country. The water was about four feet
deep on the tabernacle square. All this
happened in the spring, the previous winter

A correspondent of the Standard calls
attention ''to the bad condition of the side
walk on the north side of Lester park on
Twenty fourth street." and says that ''prl-
vate citizens are made to repair and make
good sidewalks in front of their property"
This is not absolutely true. Out of the 300
or more blocks in the city, there is not one
that has good sidewalk extending around
its four sides. There is not a block on the |
bench that has good sidewalk extending
along either side of it; but this is not so
much the fault of the property owners as
owing to the city councils neglect to en- |
force the sidewalk ordinance when the |
weather was favora BILE. The Standard
says, either enforce the ordinance or repeal
it. The time to urge the enforcement of
the ordinance was months ago. 1t cannot |
be enforced now on account of the condi- |
ton of the weather and the ground. Elk
cuses for the city councils neglect in this
matter are not now in order.
