FHF BIG HOTEL SCHEME.

1t occurs to US that our enterprising citi
zens and property owners cannot afford to
let the big hotel project now before them
escape. For years we have all been talk
ing about grand hotel for the city-such
a hostelry as the necessities of the place
demand, and one which viii be credit to
the first city of the great interior west.
Hundreds of columns have been written on
the subject, and scores of schemes
have been devised, but so tar nothing has
come Of what has been said or attempted.
To day Salt Lake is in the same condition
that she has so long been in in t e matter
of hotel accommo dations, both as to guam
tity and quality. We have good hotels, it is
true, but there is nothing that is strikingly
to pretent.ons; there IS no house which
conveys to the visitor the idea that Salt
Lake has advanced very far beyond vii
lage condition, and there is no house, what
ever its class, which is not crowded
most of the tine, while for
better hetels are so taxed in
the matter of accommodations that the
managers are obliged to resort to all sorts
of devices and schemes to make their pa
irons comfortable, not to say luxurious, in
their entertainment.
AS weunderstand it, the eastern capital
lists now here propose to erect house
which will be the pride and boast of the
citizens, and at the anne time relieve, tenn
porarily at least, the strain put upon
our hosts every season. The plan contem-
plates a hotel with $50 guests rooms,
and the cost will be somewhere in
the neighborhooi of S35o,OOO. OF course
snch hotel viii be frst-class, as such
things are understood, in the very nature
of things. We don't know what the gen
tlemen ask in the way of a bonus for the
erection of the hotel, and the expenditure
of so much money; but it is presumed their
request is reasonable, and this being the
CASE we do not think our own cap
italists, and especially those who own
land, can afford to let the chance
to enhance the value of their prop
erty and bring business and money into the
town go by. The investment of half q
million-for the erection of the hotel will
mean the expenditure of that amount I'M
mediately-in brick, stone and labor, is
something which should be encouraged,
to say nothing of the direct and consequen-
tial value that a magnificent hotel will be
to Salt Lake at this time. Let Us have the
hotel!

THE REPUBLICANS of Ohio are after a
man named WooD, who is accused Of hav-
ing written the boomerang letter in the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette which it was
hoped would do Mr.. CAMPBELL up. Re
garding this, the Chicago Globe truthfully
remarks that 1.-THE COMPOUNDED thing
whirled back and laid out FORAKER, Hal
STEAD and nearly the entire tribe Of Repub-
lican candidates, and they are all down on
the forger. He has been arrested and will
have to suffer for his disastrous scoundrel-
ism. Had his invention worked as well as
that of the disreputable scalawag who en-
trapped the British minister and seriously
damaged CLEVELAND q year ago, he would
have been feted and rewarded. The one
trick was just as mean and vicious as the
other, but, in the ethics of the party, fraud
and falsehood are objectionable crimes
if they are not redeemed by success
Just so. If HANK WATTERsoN's 100000
Kentuckians had gone on to Washington in
1877 and seated TnDEN, as they threatened
to do, HAYES and his henchmen would have
since been looked upon by those who up
held them as a lot of traitors who ought to
have been hanged. They don't stand very
high as it is.

MINISTER PHELPS ON DIVORCE.

Elk Minister PHELPS, who is now the law
lecturer at Yale, has added his contribu-
ton to the current discussion regarding
divorce, and in paper which appears in
the December number of the Forum sug-
gests remedy for the socalled evil. No
doubt the problem is a serious one, viewed
from either moral or legal standpoint
1t is shown that during the past twenty
years more than 100000 divorces have been
granted in the United States, whereas
during the previous twenty years the num-
Der was only a little above 1925, 900. Di-
yorces are increasing in ratio much faster
than the population, hence, it being con-
ceded that the dissolution of the marital
tie is an evil, it follows that
the evil is growing How to check
the growth is the question, and
from time to time various plans
are PROF osel, the one having the largest
number of advoca ties bring the proposition
for national law for governing in mar
riage and divorce. Mr.. PHELPS opposes
this suggestion. He says the federal con-
stitution would not permit the United
States to enact a law on the subject, the
matter being one which falls exclusively
within state jurisdiction. Good lawyers
have always held to this view, which
seems the correct one. If Congress can
enact uniform divorce law for the states,
IL can enact a law on any other subject and
make ii applicable TO ali the states; in fact,

had seen GREEN killed. The latter'S wife now
resides in this city in hut near Bell stone
q iarries, and says there is no doubt that the
mar killed was her husband. Mr.. GREEN and his
family vi re MormonS and resided near Utah,
and she was well acquainted with Mr.. WARD
ELL. Five or six years ago she and her nus
band determined to leave the Mormon church,
and in order to do so quietly disposed of all
their goods and chatteiS to Gentle nelghDorS.
Ey some means the MormonS discovered their
intentions and deliberately robbed them OF their
all and GREEN was sent into the mountains on
some mission, while she was sent east arriving
in this city in a destitute condition Up to hve
months ago she frequently received WORD from
her husband. but all communication between
them suddenly ceased, and she is now certain
that her husband was murdered by the MormonS
as he frequently told her that he was a marked
man and that his death by violence might be
looked for. GREEN was very poor, not over-in-
telDgent and mis- fear of the Mormon rulers was
SO great that he was their slave and feared TO
break away from them lest he would be dis
covered and killed. Mrs. GREEN has y large
family of children and is in poor circumstances,
but her friends have taken steps TO have the
United States authorities investigate her hus-
bands DEATH and interesting developments are
looked for.
1t will be remembered that WARDELL
had GREEN killed in 1862, twenty seven
years ago, while coming to Utah, while
Mrs GREEN and her husband did not think
of leaving the territory until five or six
years ago." Even then he did not go, but
sent her out and kept her advised as to his
whereabouts until five months ago, when
his communications ceased. There can be
no doubt as to the identity OF the case, for
Mrs. GREEN lis well acquainted with Mr..
WARDELL."
Thus have the anti Mormons, in their
blind vindictiveness, again overshot the
mark and defeated themselves by showing
what consummate liars they are.

OVERRIDING 1T, AS USUAL.

The anti MormonS Will persist III over
doing the thing. They have always been
given to that style of procedure, and as a
consequence, boOmerangs are frequent aid
disastrous amongst them. In Judge An
DERsoN's court the other day the Liberals
trotted out WARDELL, who went on the
stand and manifested a willingness to
swear to almost anything which the Lib
eral attorneys who were conducting the
proceedings for their party might suggest
that would probably be injurious to the
Mormon church and people. Among other
things he said that a man named GREEN
was killed by Mormons while crossing the
plains in 1869, because he had violated some
of the awful covenants taken by members
of the church. The witness went into mi
mute details of the killing, giving particu-
lars which showed he had carefully thought
oltChis story Unfortunately for him he
gave too many particulars. If he had been
more general, and less definite in the mat
ter, it might have been impossible to follow
him, and some would have believed his ri
diculous but sensational tale. AS it was, there
was no difficulty whatever in establishing
to the satisfaction of everybody the
falsity of the story. His own sons
and daughters went upon the stand
and swore that they crossed
the aims with their father and never
heard of the assassination. 1t was also
proven by testimony tI&t could not be
doubted that there was no man by the
name Of GREEN in the company. In fact,
the bloody narration was sho wn TO be the
invention, pure and simple, of diseased
and vicious imagination. 1t was a Liberal
boomerang of a most destructive charac
ter, and cast doubt upon all The Liberal testi-
mony, as well as expound the character
aud motive of the party which instituted
the proceedings.
Now comes another fake growing out of
WARDTLL's testimony, and one for which
we are inclined to believe local Liberals
are responsible. The following is CODY
of telegram published in eastern news
papers on the 23d. instant, and although it
is dated from pennsylvania town, it is
not a two to one gamble that the telegram
was not written in this city and sent to an
agent of the Liberal horror working gang
at Franklin:
Press dispatches OF Tuesday last contained an
account OF the killing OF man named GREEN
by the Mormons of Salt Lake city for revealing
tho secrets OF the Endowment house. Mr.
WARDELIa in his testimony before the natural
zaaon court in Salt Lake city, testified that he

GOVERNOR TooLE, the CROMWELL of
Montana, and his legislative "Ironsides''
still hold the fort bravely. Just so long as
the Republicans are bent upon ignoring
the law of the territory under which the
members of the legislature were elected,
Just so long will the deadlock continue as
it appears now. After ninety days have
expired, the term will lapse by limitation,
and Governor TooLE will then appoint two
Democratic United State Senators. Better
thus than not at all.

THE MURDER of STEPHEN L. PETTUs by
Mrs. HANNA SoUTHwoRrH in New York the
other day was only another of those dreary
events which have become so common of
late years. And it is the same old story,
too-a woman betrayed, then scorned, and
in her frenzy seeking revenge at the revol-
yer's mouth. 1t is an open question whether
or not it is about time to make an example
of some of those women. They may have
cause for taking the law into their own
hands and may not-they constitute them
selves the judges of that in every instance
and rely upon mems native sense Of gal
Iantry and leniency for justification, not
generally in vain. 1t is unquestionably the
case that many of these "betrayals' are
more the act of the woman in the case than
that of the man, but what are we to do
about it! They lay their guilty partner
out and then, as we can't have his story,
we have to take hers, which with unerring
regularity is a complete justification. For
a long time to come yet, men will be
tempted and when the temptation doesn't
"stick,'' women viii shoot. That is about
the size of it in all such cases.

Two War Ships of Novel Design for

NotorlousIy Bad Appointments Have
Kept Cen. Ciarkson Busy.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The executive
session of the Senate lasted between two and
three hours this afternoon, and was con-
fined largely to the discussion of the nomi-
nation of Murat Halstead as Minister to
Germany. The nomination of John c. New
as consul general to London, and Lewis
Walfy to be governor of Arizona, were con-
hrmed. A final attempt of the opposition to
defeat Mr.. News confirmation was based
upon the assertion that his paper, the Indi-
annapolis Journal, had published articles re-
fecting upon the private character of Presi-
dent Cleveland. The charge was warmly
denied by Mr.. Voorhees,. The committee on
foreign relations favorably reported all the
diplomatic nominations of yesterday. In
the case of Mr.. Halstead the report was not
unanimous, and on motion to confirm his
nomination the nays were in the majority,
Messrs. Teller, Plumb, ingalls,, Farwell and
Cullom voting with the Democrats. Mr..
Sherman moved to reconsider the vote and
debate ensued. The ground of objection
was that when the Senate refused to enter
upon the investigation of the election of
Senator Payne of Ohio, Mr. Halstead made
uncomplimentary illusions to those Republi-
cans who voted against the Investigation.
Inc feeling against him on the part of the
Senators who fell under his displeasure at
that time was very bitter. The motion to
reconsider was pending when the Senate ad-
j0urned.

THE SUBMERGED MONITOR.
Which Will Make One of the AddI-
tionaI War Vessels.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Just at the
close OF the last session, Congress passed
the naval appropriation BILL which gave
$685., 900 toward the construction of five ad-
ditional war vessels. They are to be of four
different types. One of the five is to be a
submerged monitor, from plans prepared by
ex-Congressnlan John r. Thomas of Illinois.
His design provides for vessel a little over
5000 tons at fighting draught, built on the
monitor principle, with water-balIast tanks
so arranged as to admit of the vessels being
sunk, when ready for action, TO a point
which will just expose the turret. In ordin
ary cruising the ballast can be discharged.
and the ship lightened so as TO be entirely
seaworthy. She is to have length on the
water line of 225 feet 55 feet extreme breadth
OF beam. cruising draught of water. 145 feet.
Her battery is to consist of two l0-lnch
breech loading rifles, one 15-inch dynamite
torpedo gun, three 3-pound rapid firing guns.
one 27-millimetre revolving cannon, and
two 1-inch torpedo tubes. The contract for
the construction of the vessel, and
her engines. boilers and machinery must
provide that they are to be constructed un-
der conditions to be prescribed by the Navy
department: that the contractor shall guar
antee that the collective horsepower devel-
0ped by the engines shall equal 1900, and
that when completed the vessel shall make
maximum speed of at least seventeen
knots an hour. For each quarter of a knot
of speed above the seventeen required. the
contractor will receive $4,000 above the
contract price, and for each quarter of a
knot below that prescribed. $4,000 is to be
deducted from the contract price which is
limited to $1,500,000
Another of the five vessels is to be an ad-
ditional cruiser of the Vesuvius type, of not
smaller dimensions than that vessels and to
attain speed under similar conditions of
trial of not less than q knots an hour, with
an endurance of not less than fifteen days at
not less than ten knots She is to be armed
with two pneumatic dynamite guns of 15-
inch calibre, and to be fitted for such other
armament as the navy department NAV
prescribe. But there is provision
that the contract for the build
ing of this vessel may be entered
into by the Secretary only when he becomes
satisfied, after official tests with the Vesuvi-
us and her guns, of the eficienco of the arm
ament of that vessel. The bill appropriates
$45O.000 fer the new Vesuvius cruiser.
The other vessels provided for are harbor
defence ram, of the general type approved
by the Naval Advisory Board of Nov. Z, 1881
also two steel cruisers, or gunboats, of the
most approved type, of 500 to 1900 tons dis
placement, to cost in the aggregate, exclu-
siye of armament, not more than 100000.

Two of Them Arrested fer Wrong
doing in the Bay State.

MAYNARD, Mass, March 2S.-George Davis
who for two years or more has been employ
ed in the Acton powder mills, yesterday
drew what money was coming to him and
took train for the North, and it is presum-
ed he is now in Canada. He leaves a most
estimable woman, to whom he was married
about year and half ago, and young son.
Davis stood high, was an earnest worker in
the church and a member of the Masonic
Lodge and Society of Good Fellows. Mr..
Davis went to Maynard from Maine about
three years ago, and nothing was known
about his past life until the day before yes
terday, when the Maynard town officials
were written to by Belfast, Maine, authori-
ties, asking for information concerning
Davis. They stated that he had wife and
two. children In Belfast, his family there
having been supported by the city for some
time. The communication stated that Off
GERS from that city would be in Maynard to
take him into their keeping. In "a hours,
however, he was gone.

SUNK IN THE Darkness.
Captain Lowell of the Schooner Ruth
Darling Lost With His Vessel.

NORFOLK, Va, March 2S.-The Old Do
minion steamship Wyanoke arrived here to
night. She had been in collision seven miles
east northeast of the Northeast End Light
ship this morning at 215. with the schooner
Ruth Darling, of Bucksport, Me-, Ponce, P.
R.,to New Haven. Ofithe crew of seven men,
Capt. Edward Lowell and seaman Charles
Harrison were lost. The weather was very
thick and the lookouts could hardly see
boats length. Those of the crew saved have
been brought to this city on the Wyanoke
and will be sent home. While the Wyanoke
was lying by the schooner, another schooner
ran into the steamer, but got off in the dark
before 1t could be learned whether she was
hurt or not.
When the Wyanoke struck the schooner,
she sank ten minutes afterwards. AS the
steamer struck the schooner, Arthur Ash
ton, seaman, jumped from the rigging and
caught the anchor chains and saved himself.
Chief Mate Bradford Browne was insensibls
when rescued from the paddle wheel of the
steamer which he had caught hold of as she
passed over him. He is now in precarious
condition. The others were saved by
means of ropes thrown from the steamers.

Gilkey, New York for Matanzas, when 80
miles northeast half north from Cape Hat
