OUR FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
They Are Not Only Foolish, But Danger
GUS to the Health as Well


There is no reason why reform
snould not be made. In the first place,
why should ladies follow body to the
graVeP 1t is not so in England. 1t is
certainly not in good taste Tho
trouble is that there is good deal of
the circus in the American nation. We
are fond of pomp and glitter and all the
hollow shams that our noble ancestors
fled from Europe to escape. We per-
petuate these mockeries in all sorts of
petty ways-funerals, for instance.
Some wretched Italian dies who never
In his lifetime had ten dollars to-
gether, but as he was a member of some
society for the purpose Of giving grand
funerals be is borne to the grave with
as much ceremony as if he were the
savior of his country or the martyr of q
lost cause. If he belongs to a military
organization, all the more pomp and
fanfarronade. But we do not speak
about public funerals, but about pri-
Vate. We carry good deal of humbug-
gerry into them. There is no necessity
or making dress-parade of funeral,
and displaying grief in an inordinate
line OF carriages, and asking personal
friends to expose themselves to chill
winds with every chance in their favor
of catching a deathly cold while acting
as pall-bearers. The undertaken should
provide the pall-bearers, md only few
of the family should follow the BODY to
the cemetery. If there are to be re-
iigious services, let them be held in the
house. What more cruel words are
there than what the preacher says at
the grave: "Dust to dust" and what
more narrowing sounds than the shovel
ing in Of the earth and stones upon the
coffin OF some loved friend whom we
have just consigned to that narrow
earthly home? 1t is sickeninv and
brutal to compel women and children to
be present at such a horrid spectacle.
Men have to be buried, it is true. Well,
then, let the burial ceremony be per-
formed in mortuary chapel, and let the
actual burial take place when none are
present. There is urgent need for re-
form in the management of our funer-
ais, and, till such time as there is, we
may expect deaths to follow in family
from having pursued our present idiotic
fashion of burying our dead.-San Fran

union congress Of Great Britain, it is not
likely to be seriously taken up this year,
except, possibly, in certain isolated trades.
The May-day demonstration will doubtless
pass peacefully enough, unless Ia the
mining districts there should be some
unusually Incorporate speeches in sup
port of the eight-hour bill. 1t should be
remembered that the miners alone, Of all
the English trades come out as an organi-
cation openly for the eight hour workday.
Since then about dozen others have fol-
lowed; till the large body Of the unions have
not teken official action on the matter,
recognizing the danger Of precipitatiDg such
a movement at tine present time. 1t Is only
the extreme socialist element that is de-
mending action just now.
But if the parade on this side Of the chan
mel will partake of the nature Of an orderly
holiday. there is no sucn pacific guarantee
on the continent. Ii will indeed be for
tunate If TIE socialist influence in France,
Belgium, and Germany does not succeed in
controlling the demonstrations in these
countries. In Paris Victor Delahaye and
Jean Guisde will be among the orators Of
the day. The condition of labor on the
continent is everywhere more de-
graded than in Britain, and it remains to
be seen whether the recommendations Of
the Berlin conference will have any infiu-
ence as far as improving that condition Is
concerned. Meanwhile the May parades
will be Of pronounced socialistic character,
in Germany and Belgium at least, where
the slavery of the mines and factories is
felt as nowhere else in Europe. Sixteen
hours q day for a mans work, Sunday
labor, day and night work for men and
boys, women and girls alike. and sometimes
at the most unhealthy trades-it is not
difficult to understand how these people
would take advantage of the May-day
opportunity to make their protest heard
against such treatment. But the chief
danger lies in the fact that in the continental
countries there are at present large num-
bers Of unemployed who will swell the dem
onstrations. In Austria. where the parades
have been forbidden, this danger was fore
seen in time. During the strikes in Vienna
quite lately the police were unable to cope
with the great gatherings Of idle men
who sacked taverns, fred spirit-shops,
smashed windows, and were only dis
persed by squadrons of cavalry and bat
tallion of infantry. OF course it is claimed
by the authorities that these disturbances
were instigated by the International Asso-
citation of Worktngmen's Unions, but there
was no evidence that the meetings were
other than gatherings Of idle and hungry
men with starving families dependent upon
them for bread.
Things are not quite SO bad as this in
Northern Europe, but they are sufficiently
serious to cause general uneasiness and APP

CALIFO1NIA'S DISGRACE.

The governor of California has con-
in that state. He will not enter the ring
and with either soft or hard gloves stand
up and batter the bruisers, but will send
his chief, law officer to do the knocking
out. He has given instructions to that
effect, and of course he viii be obeyed, as
public sentiment is with him. California
has good statute against prize-f fighting !;
but during the past two or three years it
has been dead letter. Mills are openly
INDUCED in, the brutal exhibitions
being given before the public
and in the very presence of the
police. They are given, however, in the
so-called club rooms and are not designated
as prize fights, but as athletic exhibitions.
They differ from the genuine article only
in the name. They are just as brutal, just
as bloody and quite as exciting. Only a
few days ago one of the principals in one of
these innocent and mild displays of the
manly art was knocked out so effectually
that his seconds were unable to revive him,
and he will not be able to appear again be-
fore the resurrection. In fact ne was
killed, though the club called the affair
sport and within the plain letter of the
law.
1t is high time that the governor inter-
fered. At the rate things were going slug
gers would not have to keep their mills and
meeting places secret; SULLIVAN and Kill
RAIN would not find it necessary to sneak
away from the officers OF the law and pun
mel each other in the woods,
nor would they run the risk
Of doing time in jail. They could
do their business in a fashionable
quarter of San Francisco in the presence
of all who were willing to pay to see them
hammer each other until one or the other
could no longer toe the mark ana endure
the punishment.
Plainly, the exhibitions which have been
given in San Francisco lately have brought
that city and state under more or less dis
grace. They were neither more nor less
than prize fighting, and the fact that they
were given under the auspices of club
did not make them less criminal The prin-
cipals, promoters and spectators were as
much guilty of violating the law as they
would have been if they had sneaked away
! to some meadow for their exhibition.

THE WARM SPRINGS,

Referring again to the propositi on re.
Gently made to purchase the Warm springs
property, as THE HERALD understands the
case it is not in the power Of the city
council to sch the property TO any one only
on the same plan that the Capitol Hill and
other lots were sold, viz. to the highest
bidder. The offer 10 buy the springs and
grounds from the city and pay the sum Of
$4,000 for them shows that there are parties
here who are beginning to appreciate the
great value Of the property. When Salt
Lake shall have one hundred thousand in
habitants the Warm springs will be worth
at least one hundred thousand dollars of
any mans money.
There is one thing certain, and that is
that the Warm springs should be improved
or they should be sold. We are decidedly
in favor OF the city making the needed i'm.
provements. There are few public iastiti-
tons which are more beneficial than a
bathing resort und er the control of the
city. In some places large sums of money
are expended to secure accommodations of
this kind to be under the control Of the cor
poration. Salt Lake needs nothing of the
kind as it is the possessor of one of the
finest warm springs on earth; and If il
were fixed up as it should be and made
attractive IL would bring thousands Of peo
pie here every year. There could not pos
sibly be better investment than to inn
prove the Warm springs. They are as
good as gold mine and good one at
that, for Salt Lake, if they are taken adj
vantage of as the Hot springs at Las Vegas
are taken advantage of by the Atchison.
Topeka q Santa Fe railroad company.
If the city retains the springs and i'm
proves them there will be no complaint
from the tax payer.
The Warm springs could be made one of
the chief attractions of Salt Lake city, and
there are no persons who could possibly
afford to make them as attractive as our
city Can.
Let the Warm springs be retained bv
The city and let the city improve them SO

IT GROWS palmer every day that this
Congress will provide no silver legislation
that will be valuable. 1t may be doubted
that any bill viii get through both houses
and receive the sanction of the President
and it is absolutely certain that no bill can
be passed over the executive Veto But
while nothing can be done now, the voters
will see to it in November that their wishes
cannot be denied with impunity. The peo-
pie have demanded that silver be restored
to its rlghtful place in our coinage system
and the Republican party has refused COM
piiance with the demand; the result will be
that the Republicans will be RELOCATED to
private life, and Representatives chosen
who will faithfully fulfil the trust imposed,
in them. The next Congress will provide
free coinage, and we believe it will do it in
spite of the Presidential veto.
