MR.. TRIM uER,S SCHEME AGAIN.

20. J. h." WHO is, we presume, u
part owner OF the Salt Lake Tribune.
recently wrote that excellent newspa.
per letter from Wyoming, IN which
he referred to a seemingly plausible
scheme as follows:
notice that our Idaho friends
don't like Fred Irimmer's idea OF
turning the Snake into Salt Lake
valley. But he will, it I've does il. no.
hurt idaho. He will take the water
only b.tween ir'iga,lnx Seasons, when
it would otherwise flow into the
Columbia. The Snake river valley
people can't irrigs,e between Sep
,ember and May, except perhaps u, a
bar. Nor will they be- able to reser-
voir one hu"dr-d,h part of the natural
winter flow. Don't be the dog ia the
ma"grr.
In a moro recent issue If to
Tribune Mr.. Tsimmrr spprovingly
quotes from O. j. HIS remarks aud
adds:
Objection has been raised in Idaho
that all the Snake waters will be
needed over there, but q. J. H. dis.
poses Of this by pointing out how the
scheme deals more with the waters
during a time when irrigation is
suspended.
We beg Mr.. Trimmer's permission
to state that tho objections made by
the TINES are not disposed Of. The
Snake river valley and tributary re-.
gion will, ere another century elapses,

use of the waters of tho Snake for

9antly. engraved invitation to attend
the opening Of the new Chronicle
building in San Francisco.
To-day We received q neat little
box containing Handsomely
en- sraved silver plated medal, with a
bust in relief Of NJ. H. de Young,
proprietor, on the diverse. and the
inscription "Souvenir of the 25th
Anniversary Of the San Francisco
Chronicle" in the border. On the
reverse is a fine representation of the
new Is story skyscrsper, with the
inscription: "Inauguration of the
new San Francisco Chronicle build

Of tina. coin.
The Chronicle is great ne newspaper.
aud could probably not be bought for
100000. Yet 1t has attained to
its present eminence in less than 20
years. Originally = small theatrical
advertising sheet, it has prospered
until it is to-day the best paying piece
Of newspaper property between New
York and the Pacific Ocean. This is
quite . creditable record. And We,
those who know the inside history OF
the concern would hardly care to
duplicate it themselves, even if the
same reward were assured.

brightest Of the three. He married
Madame Celeste, who was u tight.
rope performer, became insane, and
WAS never heard Of afterwards. The
poor fellow is probably dead. His
mind and body were too delicate to
accomplish the task he set himself.
Charles de Young was the next in
ago and, ait-r Gus.'s retirement,
became the brains of the concern.
He it was who, by his fearless"ess,
Independence and unt'ring energy,
made the Chronicle = place in the
foremost front Of trans-continental
Journalism. But he also practically
'lost his hesd," although no faint Of
insanity lowered about him. A sane.
timonious hypocfi.s named Kali 'ch
came to San Francisco. In q
comparatively brief time he had built

purpose the equal OF any church i"
the West. He then allied himself t."

Charles de Young who, rs editor of
the Chronicle, had at first supported

and began denouncing them. 1t re.
quired . great deal OF courage, in the
excited state Of tho public mind ia

Progress of Arbitration.

Vague notices have reached this
country of the treaty negotiated be-
tween several South American Pow
ers, to establish an international law
of procedure in civil cases. This treaty
was signed at Montevideo January
18th, and it's text has now been pub
lished. The countries taking part in
the conference for the discussion and
settling of its terms were Paraguay
Uruguay, the Argentine Republic,
Chill, Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. The
great aim was to secure uniformity OF
law touching the innumerable and
veXing cases Of commercial litigation
arising between citizens Of different
countries. While it has not been pos
sible to secure this entirely, yet much
has been gained by the final agreement
in which the delegates from all the
Powers united. The contracting States
bind themselves to recognize the legal
processes of each other, and to recog-
nize and enforce, each within its own
limits, decisions made in the courts OF
any Of the others affecting its own cit
lZens. The establishment of boards OF
arbitration, in certain cases, is also pro
vided for, and their decisions, when ar
rived ut under conditions named, are
to be held as binding by all the States.
All this marks a great advance in the
simplification of the business relations
of the merchants of these various
counties. 1t indicates, also, decided
progress in the appreciation and adop-
ton of civilized methods Of settling
international controversies Oh the part
of governments which we have been
too much accustomed to regard as bar
barous.

Cou.;.n't Stand 1t.

An infidel young lawyer, going west
to settle for life, made it his boast that
he would locate in some place where
there were no churches, no Sunday.
schools, or Bibles" So he found q
place of this sort. Before the year was
out, he wrote for preacher to como
and bring plenty of Bibles. to begin
preaching, and start Sunday-schools
for he said: "I am convinced that q
neighborhood without Bibles, Sunday.
schools and preaching is too much
hHe heH for any liring n1ctz 10 StH1
in.'' The invisible and silent intlu'
ences of churches to suppress distur6'
ing immoralities are not appreciated
until one goes to those places where
there ara none. The moon, high W
in the heavens, exerts silent influ:
ence on the sea-lifting the tides to roll
out and refresh the low lands. So the
silent influence of Bibles, churches
and Sunday-schools lifts men to =
higher plain of moral living.
Christianity gives value to materla
things. A tract of land located in {
region of churches, where the people
are civil, kind and peaceable, is WORTH
twice as much as one located among
still houses and open grog shops where
bad men live. Business men now
owning property on the outskirts OF &
city, find that it pays financially tt
build church there. Because they
know q church will convert the people
reform the neighborhood-b uE
good society-and. then men will buy
lots to build upon. "Godliness is prof:
liable unto all things" Who would
settle his family among wild Indians
though the climate be ever so healthy
though the land be ever so rich and
the scenery ever so beautiful: Men all
verlise piece of land for sale, ana tc

A False Faith no Protection.

A false faith is no protection. The
man who built his house upon the
sand believed that he was safe; but
his faith was of no service when the
Hoods came, and the winds beat upon
his dwelling. The foolish virgins
thought that they were sufficiently
prepared for the coming of the bride
groom; but they were not, and their
false confidence did not admit them
when the door was shut. That en-
gincer who supposed that he knew the
meaning of the signals, as he ncared
Chicago recently, did not save his
train from wreck, nor his passengers
from horrible deaths, because he trust
ed in u wrong Interpretation OF their
import. God will honor genuine faith,
even though it he no greater than Il
rrain of nlustard-seed, but he cannot
respond to any faith which puts Il
symbol in his place. III the woman
with all issue of blood had not belier-
cd in something more than the hem
of his garmcnt, the Saviour would nev-
CT have granted healing in answer to
the appeal of her touch. If she had a
purely false faith, she would have
iren left to learn thai thcre was no VII
tue in the hem Of his garment. 1t
WAS because she believed that Christ
had in him 50 much healing power
that even his garment must Gc I'M

A spoiled child is a child spoiled for

A spoiled child is child spoiled for
life. A man may struggle against
himself, and gain strength of character,
he may in some degree overcome
many of the difficulties and tempta-
tions which are the legacy of his pa
rents and others who have spoiled
him. TO spoil really means to flay, to
strip: hence to take away naturally
belong to one-to pillage or rob. A
spoiled child is therefore child des-
poiled or plundered; child robbed OF
his moral possessions and mis- rights.
A child thus despoiled cannot in after
years get back what he has lost. The
loss to childhood cannot be made good
by refunding manhood. Whatever
| the superstructure may be, the flaw in
the foundation will always be Il flaw
and weakness in the building. Ev-
cry day that we 60 on spelling n child,
we 90 on robbing him of Gods gifts to
him. A parent often speaks of a
child's being "a little spoiled" as
though that were an evidence of pa
rental affection. But in after life,
when the consequences show them
selves in embarrassments, difficulties,
temptations, struggles, regrets, and
sorrows, q good parent sees that a bet
ter exhibition Of affection would have
been to study that course which should
have spared the child these very con-
sequences. And any parent ought to
look far enough ahead to spare his
child from such mora! robbery.
