THE pending municipal campaign in
Salt Lake City, which will reach its
crisis on February 10, gives indication
of a total overthrow of Mormon supre-
macy in that city, the Gentiles calcula-
ting ON majority of fully 1000. Of
course the Mormons have tried re-
sorting to the old trick of colonizing
their recent importations from Europe
in the several wards, nut under the
provisions of the Edmunds act the re-
gistrars have bluffed these schemes,
and their action has been sustained by
the Utah Commission. An important
step in the direction Of this defiant and
reasonable organizations ultimate
suppression will have been effected if
municipal control passes into Gentle
hands.

COMMUNICATION.

Mr. EDITOR:
The following article clipped from
one of the Philadelphia daily papers,
may be of interest to some of our city
fathers. If, instead of paying about
81 200 per annum, for the use of the
fire plugs we could dispose of the privi-
lege of laying pipe through our streets
to water, electric light, gas or other cor
porations, at anything like the follow
ing prices we would soon see our taxes
largely reduced and our city treasurer
would have handsome sum in bank,
to the city's credit, and no doubt he
could meet the legitimate bills which a
large number of our citizens hold
against the city. 1t is certain, if moth
ing is asked for the franchise nothing
will ever be obtained
AsBURY PARK.-The Monmouth
County Water Company, of which
Ex-Governor Robert S. Green is the
president, recently offered Neptune
Township SO per annum for every
mile of pipe put down in the roads
controlled by that township. The
Township Committee to-day refused to
accept the terms for the franchise. The
company expects to supply the whole
Monmouth County coast with water,
and have purchased never-failing
stream about two miles West Of this
place. A rival company is willing to
give $1,000 per mile per annum for the
same privileges, and it is probable the
new concern will obtain the franchise.

WE would advise the present Legis-
lature to move with extreme caution
in the matter of increasing the salaries
of public officials. The taxpayers are
not in such condition of prosperity
that they can afford to double salaries
except in rare cases. Perhaps those
who now seek an increase can do bet
ter in some other line of industry. If
so, let them resign their unsatisfactory
situations and the people will endeavor
to fill their places at present figures,
which in most instances are much more
than the incumbents earn. There is
no excuse at all for heaping an addi-
tional burden on the taxpayers. 1t is
now all that can be carried. Now,
then, let all public officials who do not
care to hold their si,aecawes at the scale
of prices now paid, raise their right
hands. At this distance we do not see
an arm move. Therefore we guess
they are all going to stick. Money
does not grow upon trees-not even IN
this remarkable Winter weather.

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t would have done you good to
have been at the anniversary Of the
w. c. T. T., on January 23d, at the
Reform Club Hall. To make it short,
| was glad [ was there. The afternoon
service commenced with service of
song. Then came the Presidents adj
dress which was certainly an excellent
one that is worthy Of the highest
commentator.
After that there were short addresses
by different ladies which were very
good, then came the essay on cider by
Mrs. Harry Fenimore, which was GER
tainly, to the point, showing clearly
that cider was a strong intoxicant and
would produce drunkenness, would pro-
duce bad blood, and was poison. The
next was Il reading by Mrs. Thomas
Craythorn. Then came the drill of
the young ideas, trained by William
Craythorn. All seemed to enjoy it,
they seemed to do their work well
after which the afternoon services adj
journed for supper. The Beverly Re
form Club were invited by the w. G.
t. U. to take supper with them, as
well as many friends, it certainly was
a grand supper, especially to brother
Jemes, one Of our worthy members.
Adjourned from supper to the club
room again for an evening entertain
ment of singing and prayer. Then the
drill which was enjoyed hugely by all,
and reading by Mrs. Bryan which was
also enjoyed very much.
Then Rev. j. M. Rogers, in sharp
and pithy remarks for temperance,
showed clearly that the ladies of the
w. c. t. U. were on deck with all
their sails set for Prohibition, and con-
graduated the women for their stead
tastness.
The report of the w. c. T. U. was
read by Mrs. Street, their secretary,
which was grand showing for the work
of the w. G. 7. u, Of our city. There
was singing by the Delanco choir, which
was well received. A reading by Miss
Elva Struby was well delivered
Rev. Walden gave the ladies en-
enlargement by telling them to have
patience and wait that the 100000
of children would all grow up after a
while.
Mrs. Purcell's reading was well
selected and well read.
Miss Ella H. Adams recitation,
"My boy" was grand.
1t was grand entertainment. l
enjoyed it and many have told me it
was grand treat. Rah for w. G.
T. U. May God bless them!

SOMEBODY once asked whats in a
name?" and it has also been remarked
in the same satirical vein that "a rose
by any other name would smell as
sweet" Sometimes it happens that
there is something in name, an APP
propriateness, as it were, that is be-
witching. Take the case Of the Massa-
chusetts State Senator-named Coffin
who has just introduced bill into that
Legislature requiring cities and towns
to furnish public hearses and caskets
at reduced rates. The conjunction Of
the name of this statesman and the
purposes he has in view are almost
funerally funny, yet the reform he sug-
gests fits in with long-felt want. His
own name must have forced the social
economic suggestion upon him.

From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, d. G., Feb. 3, 1890

w aShlngton, ~. u, req. ., lo5U.
The last week in the House was the
most turbulent in many years. For
the amount of confusion and bitterness
INDUCED in, there was comparatively
little personal feeling developed, and
Speaker Reed is probably as popular
personally among his Democratic col
leagues as he ever was, and that is say
ing considerable. The result was to
all effects decided, on Thursday, when
the Speakers iron will prevailed, and
the question whether or not members
who are present and silent can be
counted as voting was settled, for the
present, in the affirmative. Though
on Friday the Democrats were able to
fight off the consideration of the ques-
ton of taking up the first election case,
for over four hours, yet the acknow-
Judgement of defeat had to come. On
Saturday the battle had eased down to
a skirmish and the firing was spiritless.
The galleries were comparatively emp
ty.
The result is certainly victory for
Speaker Reed, but it was one expected
by the most experienced men on both
sides of the House. 1t establishes a
fact that was notorious before, and that
is that Speaker Reed is man of re-
markable perseverance and unvarying
good nature, combined with an iron
will. In his manner the Count Fosco
was never more urbane, of course,
there is one thing that detracts from
his victory and that is that the Demo
Gratis did not put up the best fight pos
sible. Mr.. Carlisle had proposed tax
ing stand purely upon parliamentary
law, and fighting the Speaker without
confusion, but he found himself unable
to control his forces and bedlam ensued.
The so-called 'impassioned orators"
took the bit between their teeth and
ran away, and an imprisoned orator
is of about as much use in debate on
purely parliamentary questions as he is
before the United States Supreme
Court.
Throughout the week the Democrats
missed one man, and he is Samuel j.
Randall. He had written Mr.. Carlisle
to stand firm, but he could not give
Mr.. Carlisle his cunning, his force and
his parliamentary law. No man now
living in this country has all these
qualifications so highly developed.
In short the Democrats were unable to
use their forces unitedly.
But though temporarily defeated the
Democrats have determined to stand
together and to dispute the ground
inch by inch until the Republicans are

THE worst hydrophobia story Of the
season comes from Missouri, where a
whole family is Frustrated with a dis
ease resembling hydrophobia. None
of them can remember having been
bitten by dog, either recently or many
years ago, but all have been drinking
milk from a COW that was bitten. The
consulting physicians, who seem to be
highly intelligent men, pronounce the
disease pure nervousness, but all the
members of the family think they have
genuine hydrophobia and will probably
die to prove it. Such an influence does
mind exert over matter.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be non
irritating. The medical profession has
been slow to learn this. Nothing salts
factory can be accomplished with douches,
snuffs, powders or syringes because they
are all irritating, do not thoroughly reach
the affected surfaces and should be aband-
oned as worse than failures. A multitude
of persons who had for years borne all
the worry and pain that catarrh can in
flict testify to radical cures wrought by
Ely's Cream Balm.
