GONE TOO FAR.

TIE numerously signed protests
against paving sidewalks, which
were read before the City Council
last evening, indicate that the paw
ing districts established by that body
have been too far extended from the
business centre, and include por-
tons Of the city where landowners
regard the proposed improvement
as premature. The Standing and
character Of many Of the signers Of
these protests confirm this impress
sion.
Some Of the sidewalks in the Gen.
trail part of the city ought to paved,
but n good layer Of the right
kind Of gravel viii serve every
necessity for years yet in all
parts Of the city outside Of
the business centre. Perhaps an
exception might be made in the case
of a siRgle thoroughfare which Is
largely used as a connecting route
between a given residence section
and Nam Street, as. for example,
east South Temple Street. But
is there need of cement sidewalks as
far away as the Ninth, Tenth, Elev-
enth and Fifteenth wards? There
is not a sidewalk in either
Of those wards used enough to make
a cement pavement necessary, and
Of course this applies to all parts Of
the city still further removed from
the business portion
However, there is no great danger
Of injustice being done 10 property
owners. The law provides for local |
option in the matter Of paving, and
if the owners Of a majority Of the |
frontage don't want a pavement |
they need not have IL. Those who |
are opposed to 1t have only to bestir
themselves and procure signatures
10 a protest representing a majority
IF the frontage, and present the
anne, within the time prescribed by
law, to the City Council.
Let pavemerls be laid where they
are needed, but let gravel be used
where it will sufficiently answer
he purpose.

NEW YORK, Msy 3.-The Senate
committee on cities, OF which Fas-
sett is chairman, sat again today to

OF the committee room was
filed to the doors. Grant was pres
ent with Bourk CochraHe, his coun-
sci. Fassett and other members OF
the committee were on hand early.
McCann was again put on the
stand. Cross-examined, he re-told
the story about furnishing supplies
10 the family OF his brother-in-law,
Croker. Questioned as 10 the date
when Croker came to him with
$50. 900, witness said he could not
tell the precise date. He was sur
prised at Croker having $780,
900 with him, as there was
plenty of money at that time
among the people connected with
the board Of aldermen Croker said
TO him there were two aldermen
whom he wanted to reach and Tom
Adams knew them. Croker subse-
quentIy said he had seen these two
aldermen and understood every
thing was satisfactory and 81
knew, !, he said, ''somebody had been
scenc.
Who were those aldermen?
"a. Pierson and Wendell" (Sen-
sation.)
Witness said he had been on the
hest Of terms with Croker until
Mayor Grant ''came in between
them" Witness continued: ''Croker
had been misled by his advisers,
men who hold high positions in this
city. IL is these men who have
driven him from home and family.

Fatal Accidents.

a dispatch from Butte, Montana.
says that yesterday afternoon, about
4 O'Clock, two employees Of the Alice
mine, John Oates and Geo. 4.
So hires, were instantly killed. They
had been working ON the l31J-l0Ot
level and had put in a blast which
was really for firing. In order to
clear the shaft they placed a couple
OF timbers called guides upon the
cage anu signaled 10 BE- h0istc,i TO
the l20O-foot level. When n little over
halfway up one Of the guides
fell OUT. catching against the side
timbers Of the shat and brlcip..
against the floor Of the cage. Strups-
as was the timber, il could not stau1

INSTANTLY. The breaking Of the
timber ga-e the cage a suring Of
almost thirty feet, when threw
both men down the shat distance
OF fully one hundred feet. Oates
was first caught between the
cage and the timbers and mutila.ei
terribly before falling. but Sgusrss
fell clear, strikingupOn his head ami
his skull. Oates was dead
before he reached the bottom OF the
shan, but Squires lived long enough

among the Utah anti-"Mormons''
are comparatively few. No man Is n
Democrat who works for minority
rule. No man is a Democrat who
advocates test oaths and religious
disabilities No man is 3 Democrat
who plots for the political robbery of
the citizens that one man may ex-
ercise autocratic power. No man lie q
Democrat who would increase the
appointing authority at the expense
ofthe elective franchise. No man Is
Democrat who would destroy the
ballot and place an incipient COM
monwealth, just developing into the
liberty and majesty of Statehood, in
a position of political serfdom, the
toy and the victim Of an irresponsi-
BILE oligarchy. Protesting Demo
Gratis who favor such things are
sham Democrats. They are apostates
from the larty and its principles, and
TO be despised by honorable MEM
bers Of either party.
The opposition to "Mormonism"
will go on, no matter If there is not
a practical polygamist left alive to
defend it. II will be hated and
misrepresented If every man who
believes in II is deprived Of the bal
lot. The Church will be lied about
and pursued if every dollar Of its
property is confscated. And lis
priesthood, ministering for the sal
walton Of the living and the redemp-
tion Of the dead, viii be maligned,
abused and bounded by the Destroy
er and his aids, no matter what ex-
cuses for this antsgonism have been
swept away. The conflict will con-
tinue till the turning Of the tide,
the incoming OF the fullness Of times
and the advent Of that Power which
shall subdue ell things and establish
the rule Of right.
Meanwhile the Saints need not
fear nor be at all discouraged. Moth
ing can happen but what win be
overruled for their ultimate good
aud the glory Of those who endure
unto the end. "Herein is the faith
and patience of the Saints" The
prophecies must be fulfilled, the
wicked must have liberty to MI up

an opportunity must be afforded for
the making bare Of that mighty
arm which is to bring deliverance

zee real estate and n,ortrnre bod

THE real estate and mortgage loan
situation in the region of Denver Is
summarized in a manner very inter
esting to eastern investors by q
CORES, ondent Of the New York
EueRisg Rost. The writer's conclu-
sions are that there is now but little
inducement for shrewd real estate
men to give much attention to the
West. "There are two sellers to
every buyer" Rates of interest are
falling; 8 per cent is the ruling price
for money on mortgage security; in
many cities there is no demand for
money on mortgage loans; in small
er towns loans are occasionally
made at s or per cent. Values on
western property are largely ficti-
tious, particularly residence prop
critics. There is too much booming;
additions" and extensions, are
staked out on the prairie two or
three miles from town, and the
lots are offered at fancy prices. "Let
me-" says the Post's correspondent,
"advise any one who is offered lots
at from SlO0 to $50 to offer TO buy
by the acre-it will slways lie good
for pasture" Good business prop
erty In prosperous western cities is
held at prices that will return about
the same income as II in New York
or Boston. 1t is only those who get
in on the Cellar floor" Of "booms"
who make money in western real
estate now, "and the chances for an
eastern or foreign investor getting
into the schemes through which
large sums are realized is very

school population OF some half 4
million, about one-fourth colored.
Normal schools for both white and
colored pupils are supported by the
State, and there are some 5000 colored
teachers employed in the public
schools. Texas does very much
better so far as length Of term and
salaries Of teachers 20 than the other
southern States. Teachers there
earn SIS per month on an average,
which is above the average for the
whole cOuntry,-they teach about
six months in the year. The num-
Der Of teachers employed is annually
increasing, and the expenditures ON
account Of schools will be $500, 900
