THE ARID LANDS.

One of the main questions which will
come before the irrigation congress for dis
cussion will be as to the disposition by the
federal government of the arid lands.
There is strong sentiment in the west
that these lands should be given to the
states and territories without considera-
ton, aud undoubtedly such a proposition
viii be presented to the convention for
adoption. On the other hand, not few
people even in the west believe it will be
better for the general government to dis
pose of these lands to individuals upon such
terms and conditions as will insure their re-
clamation at the expense Of private citi-
zens. There are still others who think the
government should make the lands valuable
by system of water storage, when the
soil should be disposed of as homesteads to
citizens and bonafide settlers under our
present laws. All of these views will be
presented to the Congress, and each will
have its champions. Furthermore it may
be accepted in advance that one of the pro-
positions will prevail and tie national Con-
gress will be memorialized to take action
in accordance with the recommendation of
the convention.
The HERALD regards the subject as one
fraught with more or less danger, and we
therefore hope that the Utah delegates to
the Congress in particular viii act with
caution and wisdom, and not take posi-
ton which they will have to defend before
the people of the territory. The opportuni-
ties for 'iobs' or steals in the event of
the government surrendering control of
the public land must be carefully guarded
against, and while much of the land now
classed as "arid" is of comparatively small
value in its present state, it is worth some
thing to the people whose rights in the
domain should be protected.

MEAT EATING.

The art or science Of good living, for
which the word gastronomy was invented.
has been cultivated in all ages, not for its
bearings on health, but its relations TO the
appetite. In recent years there have sprung
Up societies whose business seems to be to
restrict the functions Of eating to what is
good for the health. And it generally hap
pens that what is prescribed for ones d.
gestion or general condition of body, is just
the thing that the patient has either an
aversion for or is Indifferent about. Thus
the individual Of plethoric habits, whose
tastes run to hot fat roasts and fried meats,
hot bread, potatoes and lager beer, is put
upon regimen of lean mutton, dry bread
or crackers milk or an occasional boiled
egg, and shut off entirely from albuminous
food or any stimulus except clsret and ice,
or Rhine wine and appolInaris taken at
meals He is not forbidden to eat meats,
but rather encouraged thereto, yet he must
eschew fresh pork, and sausages are
taboed as by decree of the supreme court
Indeed, the doctor is a man who is dreaded,
because he finds out what the victim likes.
and gives him If possible the exact op-
posite.
Among the physicians who attribute
stomach and kidney disorders to indulgence
in flesh, fowl and fish are the vegetarians.
who hold that proper regard for hygiene
requires diet exclusively of vegetables,
fruit and berries. At the recent hygienic
congress in Europe, the English vege-
tarians made strong effort to Sc
cure an endorsement of their meat-pro-
hibiting policy, but failed. Some of them
ascribed the germs Of consumption to the
milk CT tuberculous COWS, aud all claimed
that meat eating produced grossness not
only of the body but Of the Senses The
moiority, however, held that vegetarian
ia no good law for the dietary of man, who

would not admit that all vegetarians are
mild and gentle, and he chad known butch

''value of animal food and of alcoholic

old Latin motto. Once this new prog
nostication gets to work, there will not be
saw mill or factory in the country that
won't adopt it as pretext for keeping up
its unearthly screeches. At present
the whistles of these establishments
are confined to about four times
per diem, viz: at s, IL, and o'clock, but
the engineers are so stuck on the music
they make-these disorganized, disiolnted
and disgruntled calliopes-that they would
jump at the opportunity to work them
more. The steam engines, also, going to
and from places where fire alarms are
turned in, could be utilized to help carry
out the purpose of Secretary RUsK; and
lest there should be dearth of information
the letter carriers, the police aud street car
drivers might be provided with shrill in
struments to announce the meteorological
changes at times stated and uEstated.
Let US congratulate one another on one
thing that the whistlers have not yet laid
their hands on; we mean the mighty force
OF electricity. 1t shocks and it sometimes
kills, but it doesn't whistle.

A QUESTION.

Is it not time for the good and pious peo-
pie of the city to again come to the front
with q request that the municipal govern
meut shall make a stagger at the enforce
ment Of the laws for the protection of citi-
zens against crime and immortality Some
months ago matters were so bad that the
church folk felt that the community was
candalized by Me lax administration at
the city hall, and protest meetings were
called True, no gNod resulted from these
gatherings. but they went to show that SO

place. If the very common rumor may

FASHIONABLE STREET SWEEpERs.

Prof. MELBOURNE, as TEE HERILp's
readers have been informed, is now in Salt
Lake for the purpose Of producing rain by
process known only to himself. 1t appears
to be fact that there has been rain during
his stay in every place he has visited. Now
II we are to have another such wet spell
as the one we had last Thursday, the ques-
ton OF long dresses will become to the ladies
OF our city very interesting question. For
we assume that, with the influx of strang-
ers this week, our matrons and misses will
not care to remain cooped up at homo.
Fashion has decided for women ridicu-
lous length of skirts, and has in fact trans
formed them into legion Of street sweep
ers. In very dry weather the most fire.
quented thoroughfares are often filthy, and
at places where men congregate on the
SIDEWALKS tobacco juice varies the general
olsagreeableness Of walking. But when
muo and tobacco Juice are mingled into a
thln paste of nastiness, it is terrible to be-
nold fashionably dressed lady dragging
her amplitude of costume through it, and
assuming queenly Ignorance or indiffer-
ence as to the spoliation going Oh.
Ills all very well to inveigh against the
tyranny Of fashion. AS well criticize the
orbits OF the celestial bodies. The women
Oh America only follow, not make, the
modes. If Partisan ladies may wear long
dresses on the streets that are as clean as
floors, where tobacco splitting is scarcely
known, and where dresses do not cost as
much as they do in this country, no indie
pendence Of spirit will justify departure
from the French styles merely on account
OF altered cases. Woman is mans queen,
and fashion is woman's.

TOO MUCH FOR TIE WHISTLE,

The HERALD observes with pain and
alarm the proposition to convey the weather
indications of the agricultural department
to different parts of the country by means
of locomotive whistles. The different
trains which transport the mails from the
great central points in addition to signal
flags to tell the atmospheric changes, are
to notify the people adjacent to intermedi-
ate stations by pre-arranged system of
tootings and screams. We protest. ''Stop
