Jersey City's Boom.
In our news columns yesterday, and
again this morning, we present fresh
evidence of the boom in Jersey City's
interests. The movement to antici-
pate the revenue for the construction
of new schools is one OF the most inn
portant that has been undertaken in
long time, and it is one which seems
tons to touch the very springs of the
city's growth.
So long as the municipality is def
cient In school Accommodations, new
residents will be slow to settle here
What we want is families who will
spend money in the city, whose peo-
pie will grow up in our midst and
identity themselves with our interests.
OF course it is useless to expect to
draw this class Of settlers until we
have means of education for the
children.
Moro we see any serious objec-
tion to the plan. It provides a prae
tical method for the payment of the
newly contracted liability, which
seems quite safe and feasible. 1t is
true the city will have to pay interest
for the use of the money, but even if
its expenditure did not lead up to in
creased value of city property and
consequent increase of taxation, the
citizens would still reap ample return
for the loss in the great gain TO their
children.
Another agreeable piece of news is
the announcement which we make to-
day that Mayor Cleveland has practi-
rally made up his mind to sign the
s'Ln road ordinance We never had
ssss:.yy great doubt that he woHid do SO.
The welfare of the whole city is in
volved in it, and Mr.. Cleveland has
never stood In the way when Jersey
City wanted to march on. He says
he has found some serious OBJ
5ections to the ordinance. We
are sure we cannot imagine what they
are. The ordinance has been care
fully drawn, and the company has.
made all the concessions asked for.
We think the Mayor will find, in
practfce, that the objections are in-
consequential At any rate we are
glad that they did not operate to
cause him to oppose the ordinance.
But it is our pleasant duty also to
chronicle today the nomination by
Mayor Cleveland Of three Public
Building Commissioners. The act
under which they are named provided
orthe erection of City Hall, Police
Headquarters and Armory. The two
latter have already been pro-
vided for, SO that Mayor Gleye-
land's action points directly to
the. erection OF new City Hall.
There is every reason to believe
the nominations will be speedily con-
firlned by the Board of Finance, and
TINS this Important improvement be-
comes measurably near 1t is much
needed 1t will add TO the dignity of
our city and to the facilities for the
dispatch of public business. 1t is one
of the best signs of the boom which is
with us.
Long may it flourish

A PROPHETIC SPEECH.

"Let the carpet-bagger, expelled finally
from every state in the American union
with the brand of disgrace stamped upon
his brow, lift up his head once more and
turn his face toward the setting sun. Utah
beckons him to new field of pillage and
fresh pastures of pilfering. Let him pack
his grip sack and start. The Mormons
have no friends and no one will come for
ward to defend or protect their rights. A
returning board, from whose decisions
there is no appeal, sent out from the Amer
can Congress baptized with the spirit of
persecution and intolerance, will enter
Utah to trample beneath their feet the
rights of the people of that far off and i'll
fated land. Mr.. Speaker, L would not place
dog under the dominion of set of carpet
baggers REINFORCED by returning board,
unless meant to have him robbed of his
bone A more grinding tyranny, more
absolute despotism was never established
over any people. "-Hon. John f. House, of
Tennessee, in the House Of Representatives,
April is, 1882.

HEARTS ARE ALL RIGHT.

After all, this isn't such bad world.
There is a lot of good in it. Nor is man the
mean and selfish creature that he is some
times represented to De. The other day,
in writing of the sad death FRANCIS Core,
THE HERALD referred to some of the noble
characteristics Of the man, among others
his mania for doing good and helping his
fellow creatures. In illustration of this
we mentioned his labors in connection with
the organization of Zions Benefit Building
society, an association which has enabled
scores of poor men to acquire the houses in
which they live. After Mr. CoPE's death
it transpired that he had been much
more thrifty for others than for
himself, and that as result of his
open-handed generosity and his devotion to
the welfare of his fellows, he accumulated
little for himself. Learning of the circum-
stances III which he left his family mem
bers of the building society headed sub
scription list and set out among his friends
to collect enough 20 lift the mortgage from
the homestead; then it was discovered
that others were doing the same thing, and
lists are being circulated among his po-
litical and religious opponents, as well as
among his friends and associates And to
the credit of all, be it said, as well as to
the grand record left by the
deceased, the response is most gener-
ous- One establishment, the Z. G. M L.,
contributed the handsome sum of $500.
From Ogden also comes generous contri-
buttons, Mayor KEIsEL heading the list
with a substantial tribute. 1t now looks
as if the house would be released and tenn
porary provision made for the family
which has suffered the greatest affection
which could possibly have befallen it. 1t
is because of the nobleness, the generosity,
the thoughtfulness and consideration
displayed in this matter that we say there
| is much good in the would, and mems
| hearts remain in the right place. Great as
will he the good done by these acts of
rosity, the family will be as proud of
| the evidence of popular esteem in which the
husband and father was held as they will
b, az pr C at;ve of the substantial gifts
which come to them in their hour of trial
! and great need.

THE PARADE.

1t was grand and inspiring spectacle
that was presented last evening in the
parade of the Peoples party marching
clubs. 1t was glorious in its every feature,
and it must have inspired the lovers of
this city with frmer hope that beautiful
and peaceful Salt Lake will continue under
the rule Of that political organization which
has given the municipality the best record
for good government to be found on the
old aud the middle-aged marched proudly
under the stars and stripes and behind the
beautiful banners and in the clear
eyes and firm tread of all was
expressed the determination that this city
shall not be turned over to misrule, dis
order and spoliatlon.
There was no carpet Dagger in that long
procession; there was no adventurer; there
was no one who is here for the purpose of
realizing on his real estate. AS the line
moved forward, hundred after hundred and
thousand after thousand, only faces of bona
faces of the solid, substantial business
men, the merchants, bankers, mill-owners
and manufacturers; of the toilers-the
men who labor for daily wages and whose
homes are their own, earned by their
hands and held by their economy
and industry; of the young men who
are performing their first political
work, and who are starting right; of
plucky boys who were pleased to face the
cold and proud to show that they were the
sons of the men who built the city and
gave it the reputation which it hasa in the
world.
There were in the procession no tramps
No special trains were run from Ogden, or
Bingham, or Park City, or Green River
to fetch in men to swell the ranks. No
body in the line was hired to carry torch
and no one was paid to yell and cheer.
The gin mills were not represented; nei
Their were the gambling houses; nor were
the boomers there. 1t was parade Of
Salt Lake msa, who are interested in
the welfare of this city; of Salt
Lake men who delight in good govern
ment; of Salt Lake men who believe in the
boom that is characterized by brick and
stone, by mills and factories, by work fol-
those who want to labor, by the establish
ment of creative industries, and the de
velopment of the country's resources; OF
Salt Lake men who have given the i'm
press of their characters to the cit,
in the shape of handsome residences
stately business blocks, wooden mills
-four mills, shoe factories, and so on. /
was a procession of the men who hav,
made Salt Lake and who propose that thi
fair city shall be robbed of none of it
beauty er glory by adventures, speculai
ors and carpet-baggers who have com
here because they imagine this city can b
taken by storm, and fieeced and plundere,
at leisure.
1t was procession which struck terro
into the hearts of the Liberal managers
for it showed to them something Of tn
ability, the earnestness, the determination
and the strength of the People.

party will win at the coming election, and
this Is the reason they will notcare to have
their names and regulations used to
bolster up the weak ticket. If there were
no chances for the Liberals getting into
Office then there would be no trouble to get
men of ability and strength, financially, to
run even on the present weak ticket. The
very hope of success will defeat the secur-
ing of good men for the executive offices. ,

Pet Merritt, sixteen-year-old girl, was seriously burned labout the shoul- ders and chest. When she reached the street she was almost naked Her life was saved by turning stream of water on her.
 Dr. D. K. Wissinger was in the James House when he was hurt. He was attend ing patient injured at the other place, when the second explosion occurred. Those who heard him talk say he said he suddenly saw the flames creeping along the floor of the room and imme- diately threw himself under table and placed his hands over his eyes to shield them.
 Benjamin Morgan, also spectator, was badly injured. He was knocked down by one of the hose carts in the general rush for safety, after the first explosion, and then run over by the mad crowd. Morgan lives at Shawnee and was delegate to the miners con- vention here. He is thought to be in- formally injured.
 Theodore Shouting was watching the fire across the street when the explosion
 
 frightened the horses of hose cart which wheeled and ran onto the pave inent. The gentleman was knocked down and one leg broken in two places.
 Tom Doyle, saloon porter, was burned In most horrible manner. When the impromptu bandages were removed from his hands, the flesh dropped off in many places, leaving the bones exposed.
 Police Officer Linsky was in the house when it fell, and was badly injured.
 The scenes at the morgue are ghastly. The remains of those killed are cut and burned almost beyond recognition.
 Peter Marriott, lamp-lighter, occu- pied one part of an adjoining house which was wrecked. He has four chil- dren and all of them were badly in- jured. Another part of the same house was occupied by a widow who disap- peared when the explosion occurred and can not be found.
 Archie McNoill had his leg broken and was otherwise badly bruised. Mir. McNeill was one of the bystanders who was caught by the falling walls.
 The saddest case was that of Ed. Pfeiffer. He was struck by the falling timbers and was terribly cut about the head. The shock of the blows rendered the man raving maniac for the time being. It required the efforts of several men to hold him on the patrol wagon as it dashed up the street.
 At midnight half dozen persons were unaccounted for, among whom were the Widow Tull and her son, who occupied part of the first house that exnloded.
