STORMS AND STORM TELLERS.

Some few months ago an Illinois pro
fessor launched out with prediction re
garding a great storm that was to sweep
the eastern seabOard about the 18th instant,
branches of which were to dart inland and
involve the country IN such a bosom of
meteorological destruction as it had never
before beheld. This was very trying to
some peoples nerves, and not few there
were who took it all in for good deal more
than it was worth. Undoubtedly portion
of the prophecy was fulfilled, but, as the
late Professor PROCTOR said of the Cana
dian WIGGINs, these fellows make so many
predictions that it is difficult for nature to
steer clear of all of them.
To fortify the belief which great many
placed in the Illinois savant's predictions,
great storm did occur along portions of our
eastern seaboard on the 10th instant. It
vented its fury most particularly upon
Staten Island, n. j., and contiguous points,
where it did a great deal Of damage, ''up-
roofing stout trees and whistling about the
house corners and chimney tops" Those
who wanted to see old ocean on his mettle,
as one writer puts it, had only to go on

island spoken of, at that time. Formerly
it was great place for beer shops and
shanties and these were largely patronized,
but they were all completely swept away.
The view out to sea is described, when the
elements were at their fiercest, as awe-in-
spring and magnificent, and but for the
fact that the tumbliug waves We're charged
with death and desolation, it was unques-
tionably spectacle of which one would not
soon have tired.
1t is hardly fair to brand everyone who
ventures a prediction as to what is coming
overhead as a fanatic or crank, because it
is often the case that many of them are
stndious and intelligent, and while their
forecasts are based upon correct princi-
pies, they are dealing with an unfettered
and unregulated subject and thus, oftener
than otherwise, they come to naught.
There are no fixed rules or scales by
means of which we can determine the
future conduct of the upper deep, although
there are certain indications which the

LEARN TRADES.

There are more than one thousand con.
victs in Pennsylvania penitentiary, and
OF the entire number but nine who can be
classed as mechanics. Some are recorded
as laborers, but the great majority are men
without trade or profession and who never
had regular occupation. The warden was
recently interviewed on the subject of his
wards, and said that observation had
taught him that the greatest preventive of
crime is labor, and on the other hand the
chief cause of criminality is idleness.
Doubtless his experience is not unIile
that OF other wardens and of those who
have studied the question. The criminols
of the country are the loafers, the convicts
are the men who were given to idleness
The worker, though ne be but dav laborer
with pick and shovel, knows very little of
courts, prosecutions and prisons, while the
mechanic is rarely found in the prisoners,
box. The men who are too lazy to work
and those who undertake to get a living in
another way than that appointed by the
Almighty are the ones who commit the
crimes and fill the iails.

EXTEND THE MAINS.

The Peoples party municipal conven
ton, among many other excellent things in
its platform, said: 1.-THE water mains
should be extended as soon as possible tc
every part of the city" This was in con
nection with the declaration that there
must be a plentiful supply and fair dis
tribution of water for all needful purposes,
''Iet the cost be what it may" The ring to
this is of the melodious character 1t is
pleasing to the popular ear, and will be
echoed in the breasts of the hundreds who
have vainly petitioned, at intervals, for the
extension of the mains these many years.
Including the mayor eleven members of
the present municipal council belong to the
Peoples party, and all are presumed to be
in full sympathy with the platform recently
promulgated. Some of the gentlemen were
interested and efficient workers in framing
the declaration. The four Liberals in the
council may be relied upon for hearty ap-
proval of the proposition that the mains
should be extended to every part of the city.
They will certainly vote for every extension
suggested. Then, the present government
is really unanimous as to the improvement
advocated. hence why should there be delay
until the February election! If the decla-
ration is to mean anything more than a
campaign cry, and we take it that it means
all ii says or it should have no place in the
platform, the good faith of the party should
be proven by at once stringing mains, es
pecially along those streets to which they
have lcny been promised. People have
been clamorous for pure water for domestic
uses, and in many instances property
owners have been so eager to obtain the
fluid from the water works system that
they have proffered to bear all the expense
of putting in the mains from the present
terminus to their premises, laying not
cent of cost upon the corporation.
1t will not do to say there is insufficient
water, and that the extension of the mains
will destroy the efficiency of the system.
The irrigation season having come TO an
end there will be an abundance of water
until next July, regardless of what the
winter may do for rs in the way Of snow
fail, and if the precipitation shall
be equal to that of ordinary winters
the flow will be enough to fill
the pipes until late in the summer. Nor 30
we think it can be urged that the corpora
ton cannot afford to extend the mains, be-
cause the books show that the water rates.
after paying the interest on the cost of the
work, are a source of considerable revenue
10 the city.
The prompt and energetic Inauguration
of the proposed improvements will be of
greater convincing force with the people
than all the ante election promises that can
be made, and why should the present
Peoples party government refrain from
doing that which the party has promised
that it will do if continued in power after
February!

difference in their conduct if the
boys and young men who are run
Ding the streets and spending their
time in idleness if not in vicious
practices, were to be told that their
course was one of evil and would certainly
lead to disreputable careers and wrecked
lives; parents, however. should be infu-
enced by the criminal statistics such as
those given by the Pennsylvania warden.
Salt Lake youth are no worse than the
youth of other cities, but it will not be denied
that too many of the boys here are grow
ing up in idleness and without the acquire
ment of the knowledge and skill which
are essential to their future well being.
Too many of the young men think it be-
meath their dignity to learn trades, and
others feel that it would be something of a
disgrace and reflection on their intelligence
to work with their hands. That these will
naturally if not necessarily drift to the bad
we may be assured. If there were doubt
regarding it the records of penitentiaries
and prisons would settle the question.

A SHEET issued every day Except Sun
day. in Ogden precinct, gives vent to its
feelings thus: 1--WE think some time will
elapse before Colorado will recover from
the effects of electing her professional
horse thieves to the legislature. BY the
way, this mentioning of horse thieves re-
calls the late lamented HORACE GREELY's
remarks concerning Democracy" Sure
enough! Poor old HORACE, greatly ad-
dicted to strong language, once said that
every Democrat was not horse thief, but
every horse thief was a Democrat. He
changed his mind before he died, so much
so that he became the nominee of that party
for President. The fun of the thing is
further enhanced by the fact that most Of
the horse thieves above referred to were
Republicans, but that doesn't matter The
writer of the above differs from the sage of
Chappaqua in that the latter was too decent
to hang on to his party when it became rot
ren. and the former isn't.

IT WASN'T so very many years ago that
Salt Lake was so eager for railroads that
the companies were almost invited to make
choice of streets for entrance ways. Have
we so many roads now that it is deemed
good policy to hedge all others out of the
city? The talk of some citizens and offic-
ials would convey this impression. And
yet the newspapers and the people gener-
ally are earnestly inviting the projectors of
new transcontinental lines to come via

A GENTLEMAN of Salt Lake, who has beer
east and just returned, has been taking
notes by the way, and some of his memor
anda is worthy &c Consideration. He says
among other things, that Denver, with 1885,
600 people, hasn't street on which there
is a sidewalk equal to that on the south side
of First South street in this city From
what he and others who have been there
state. the inference is plain that when our
sewerage system is completed, the metrop-
oils of the Rocky mountains will be ahead
of US only in population. The same thing
can be said of Unyanyembe, Uiiii and other
points in the interior of Africa.

IT is another race war; the blacks and the whites organized and arm ed against each other; attacks and repulses; a bloody battle, with fire arms, knives and clubs as the weap- ons; dead. dying and wounded; VIC tory, as usual, with the whites, and the rlngleaders of the negroes in jail and others fleeing from the coun try. And all originating from a fight between white and black man! Is it not atroclous, Republi- can men and brethren of the North?
