THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

The circular which the president and
directors of the stock exchange have sent
out to members of the exchange, to mining
companies and those interested IN mining,
should call forth an immediate and gener-
GUS response. We imagine that the ex-
change has not been individually advan-
tageous or profitable to the members, but
it has certainly been both to the territory
in that it has done much to bring before the
country at large better knowledge of the
mighty industry which is adding so ma
terially to the wealth of Salt Lake and
Utah. Although the exchange has
been in existence only comparatively
short time it is known throughout the re-
public and has attracted the attention of
the financial centers of the country to the
fact that Utah is perhaps the most active
and progressive and prosperous, if not the
most productive, of the mining states and
territories 1t would be pity to let the
institution 20 down in the midst of its use
fulness; its demise at this time would Ger
tainly give the territory a black eye, in
conveying the impression that the mining
industry was on decline. The expense of
main tanning the exchange is trifiing com
pared with the ability of those who are
most interested in its continuance to keep
it up, hence we have hoped that the circu-
lar will have the desired effect and bring
the funds necessary to maintain the stock
exchange as one of the institutions of the

A DEMOCRATIC FEAST.

1t will be a glorious Democratic feast
which will be spread before our citizens
next week by the distinguished gentlemen
who are now making tour of the north
west in the interest of the Democracy; and
while it will be a splendid political ban :
quet Tor Salt Lakers, our visitors will be
repaid for their trouble IN coming for our
entertainment, for they will carry hence
with them to the councils of the national
Democracy that out here in the wilderness
there exists the foundation of mighty
Democratic state, vigorous, progressive
commonwealth which is destined to stand
at the head of all the communities of all
this vast inter mountain region. Our Wis
itors will here learn that while the great
political party in which they are conspicu-
ons teachers was but recently born in Utah,
1t has shown such vigor and strength as to
make certain the verifcation of the prom
Use that it will for all time control in this
fair land, constantly increasing in strength
and by providing pure and progressive
government bringing to its standard the
good citizens.
1t will be Joyous occasion, the visit Of
our distinguished friends, and their com
ing will be followed by great good to the
local Democracy now in its infancy.

CHURCH MUSIC.

Last Sunday the great organ in the
new Brooklyn tabernacle was dedicated,
and DR.. TALMAGE preached an entertaining
sermon on church music. In this taber-
nacle there is no choir, but the song service
is con Quoted by organ and cornet, the con-
gregation joining. DR.. TALMAGE thinks
that nine tenths Of the church quarrels
originate in the organ loft, where the sing
ing is done by delegation, the mass of the
people being expected to keep silent and
look at the quartette voicing "Rock of
Ages Cleft for Me-. with the same spirit
with which the night before they took
their part in the Grand Duchess" The
learned doctor believes congregational
singing, accompanied by organ and cornet,
just the thing TO raise those present into
heartiness. If GoD called on the cattle
and the dragons to praise him, we ought
not to be behind the beasts, and if one gets
the wrong pitch, or keeps wrong time, the
angels won't laugh at his coming under the
wire bar in the rear. At least that is the
substance of DR.. TALMAeE's ideas on that
branch of his last Sundays subject
Certainly TALMAGE, despite his vageries.
is great delineator in words. He speaks
of the tabernacle organ as "a mighty throne

BLUNOEkER BURCHARD.


DR.. BURcHARD, who died last Friday, is
reported to have said some time ago. re-
ferring to his celebrated ALTERATION of
rum, Romanisn and rebellon ''Well,
don't know but that / may have been a
humble instrument in the hands of divine
power to effect exactly contrary what
had in my heart to do when spoke that
day." And the reverend doctor, before
he died, seems to have been so convinced
of this that to set himself right with the
Almighty he abandoned the Republican
party. We have no doubt he will be
counted in making up quorum on the
Democratic side in the great angelic cen.
gress.
DR.. BURcHARD, in his address to Mr..
BLAINE, had he confined his allitera ion to
rum and rebellion, would scarcely have at
tracted attention. Rum, as the Pennsyl-
yanla Republican platform says about cor
ruption, is non bipartisan, and rebellion was
confined to section where being
Democratic had nothing to do with
the case" as all parties in the
south, includ ng large part of the
blacks, were united against being coerced
back into tee union. Besides, northern
Democrats were familiar with Republican
ISLANDERS and passed them by as the idle
wind that they respect not. Nor was it any
odium attached to the charge of Catholicity
which brought down the anathemas against
BURCHABD. 1t was the evident purpose
shown to belittle or make opprobrious the
religious faith of millions of people. Not
Catholics alone were shocked by it, but it's
improperly, its malicious spirit, offended
the moral sense of Professionals and Jews.
1t occurred at time when by an unex-
planned and curious movement large num-
Der of Irishmen were turning to BLAINE as
an exponent (Which he never was) of the
Fenian and home rule policies; and
there is no doubt this laundering
phrase at once checked the emeute, as
the French might call it. The important
bearing it had on the election may be id
ferred from the fact that Mr.. CLEvELAND's
majority in the state of New York was less
than 1000. To believers in the Divine
interposition in mundane affairs it is no
wonder Dr. BURCHARD was tempted to
think he was an humble instrument in the
hands of Providence to come in at the
eleventh hour, as IL were, and snatch vic
tory from the outreached arms of the Re-
publicans, and pass it over to the Democ-
racy. "He seeks in a mysterious way His
wonders to disclose" The lesson Vt it all
is that the shoemaker should stick to his
last. The gospel minister has small place
in the politics of modern times.

PUBLIC BUILDING CONTRACT,

The suit which BARBER & Co., the con-
tractors and builders, have brought against
the members of the county court to re-
strain them from awarding the contract
for the erection of the joint city and
county building to Mr.. j. H. BOWMAN,
will raise some interesting and important
questions, not the least interesting and i'm
portant OF which is that involving the mat
ter of how far court of justice itself can
20 in deciding such a case, The Messrs.
BARBER & Co. s bid for the building com
plete was $500, $50, and that was the lowest
of the six sent in in answer to the official
advertisement The next lowest bid was
that of Mr.. BOWMAN, to whom the city
council on Friday night, awarded the con-
tract or the city's portion of it. Mr. Bow
MANS bid was S377, 9S7, or IS, 037 above that
of the firm mentioned. BARBER & Co., now
ask the court to restrain the county author
tiles from awarding the contract to Bow
MAN, and in their petition set forth that
one of the reasons why it is proposed to
give the work TO Bowman instead of to
them, is because he has some sort of DO
litical pull, by which he proposes TO
carry the election in the First precinct
against the Democratic party. Upon what
BARBER & Co., base this assertion will.
of course, have TO be presented at the hear
ing of the application for the writ 1t
will be interesting to learn lust
what there is in the allegation; what. if
any, grounds there are for charging that
the erection of the public building is to be
utilized for political purposes, and whether
or not the majority Of the council have ia
vored builder of their party to the extent
of S, 900 oyer one claiming to be neutral in
politics.
Another question which will come up is
os to the responsibility of the defeated
builders. In this case as usual, the fright
to reject any or all bids" was reserved. 1t
as the rule, the provision being put in not
for the purpose of favoring one builder to
the injury of other, but to make it easy to
decline the bids of irresponsible parties.
The public, which must pay for this
building, doesn't care who erects the struct-
ure, but is interested in having the work
well done and at the lowest possible price.
The outcome of this proceeding in court
will be awaited somewhat anxiously by the
taxpayers, and if the petitioners allega-
tons are not absolutely groundless by the
city and county authorities.

A SEMINARY COLD WAVE.

A particularly chilling and disagreeable
wave has struck an important branch of
the Northwestern university, at Evanston,
Ill. The branch referred to is the Woman
College, and the cold wave comes in the
form Of q funnel shaped rule which directs
that masculine callers will be allowed only
between the hours Of and S o'clock in the
evening of each day of the week except
Friday when they may stay till $3.50
o'clock. We call it funnel-shaped because
1t is SO small at one end and flanges out so
at the other. Hereafter the girls must
douse the glim at 1920 o'clock. Dousing
the glim is not an academic expression, but
our sea going readers will recognize it as
turning down the gas. No young woman
will be permitted to leave the building
after 80 without a chaperon, which is
shrewdly suspected to be game of the
teachers to ''get taken" to the theatres,
meaning tickets for three, and an imposi-
ton in violation of rule of much longer
standing, namely, two is company"
The Woman's College being only branch
Of the Northwestern university, of course
1t Is TO be inferred that there are other stu.
dents besides young ladies, and we assume
from the metaphoricsl high kicking which
is being performed, that the former rules
were not SO binding. How, indeed, could
they be: One hour-a mean sixty little
minutes-for every DAY, and only two hours
and half for Friday. No wonder the
pretty little dears are in a tremor of excite
ment, denouncing the new regulations as
simply unbearable," and declaring they
will abandon the dormitories and seek
boarding-houses outside.

STATEMENT that the Niagara river is
steadily going down would probably as
toaish nobody; but there are compare
lively few people who know that there has
been q gradual recession of the great falls
ever since 1912. On the American side the
average drop has been more than seven
inches, and on the Canadian side more than
two feet annually. In less than 80 years
the American Fall has receded 30s/ and
the Canadian 1919 feet PROF. SHALER
asserts that the falls, when the sofrened
limestone rocks shall have passed below
the level of the stream bed, will disappear,
first passing into the stage of a cataract
and then vanishing altogether But scien-
lists generally think 1t will be many years
before the underwriting power of the
water produces this result and in the
Engineering Magazine for this month there
is method presented by which it is pro
posed to generate electricity by the power

to interpose a check to wrong doing. At
every election evils of greater or less mo-
ment are corrected and the country is held
within'li lines running in the right direction.
And the two great dangers to which Mr..
WATTERsoN refers-the taste for money
and the devil of party spirit-are
they really great dangers' We do
not say the distinguished editor is
wrong, bat merely ask the ques-
ton. We are, aware that it is popular
among pie,ists and moralists to bewail the
national characteristic-the taste for
money-and to point to it as an evil threat
enlng not only the existence of the republic,
but the souls of men; and yet, let US
look about among our friends and
acquaintance and ask ourselves if
this very taste for money mas not done
much for them, bringing them to the front
and developing in them qualities and en-
ergles which have led to many praisworthy
achievements? Any of US can readily des-
ignate scores of men to whom the world is
really indebted for good deeds and praise
worthy achievements which would never
have been known but for the ambition in
spired by that condemned passion, the
taste for money. Is that taste, therefore,
danger threatening the country or the
morals of the people,
There may be danger in 'tne devil of
party spirit" and still there is no intelli-
gent reader of history will assume to say
that the American republic is not stronger
and better by reason of that spirit. II it
were not for party spirit we fear that men
would lose their ambition and there would
arise the danger of drift ng into slothful-
ness, into disregard of evils, into corrup-
ton and dishonesty. Is it not the party
spirit which inspires men to the invention
and adoption of better measures. to closer
watchfulness and to the exposure and de-
nunciation of wrongdoers3
But whatever may be the truth as to the
1.-TWO great dangers" MIR. WATTERsoN is
right in the propositions that the country is
getting better instead of worse, that this is
the greatest country on the globe, that we
have the most perfect system of govern :
ment, and that we have nothing to fear from
without. And all this being true, good
many political utterances aud newspaper
assertions should be heavily discounted.

wiped away with tear of the recording

volts at the idea of man swearing at all in
the presence and hearing of his wife, to
say nothing about swearing at her. Cold
victuals, weak coffee, macadamized bis
cults, nothing-always excepting the
button-can justify husband in
using doubled words SO that his
wife may hear them, and in no
case whatever should such expIetives be
used as curses upon her. On the subject
OF shirt buttons, we want to say right here,
that in the present stage of improved"

the new tariff, no really good husband will

with having reduced the cause of great
household worrjment and no end of pro-

But we digress. If, according to this
New York judge 'good husbands some
times swear at their wives" and swearing
at ones wife is no excuse for separation,
what is the limit of 'jmprecation as to
number of times, intensity of anger and
character of curse words usedl Some men

the word i'd" and fight if it is accom-

The HERALD's correspondents whose letter
is printed today, asserts that old BEN
WADE used to say damn, but did not use
the preix-from which we infer the swear
ing was harmless. But man who some
times swears at his wife and is at the same
time good husband ought surely to be
confined to such oaths as are mere verbal
redundancies. For our part, notwithstand-
ing what may be the New York view of
the law of the case, we place the husband
who curses his wife in the same category
as the one who strikes her-and she who
lays his hand upon woman, save in the
way of kindness, is brute, whom it were
base hattery to name man"

a CRANKY PAPER.

The San Francisco eau, newspaper, by-
the-way, which is proverbially on the
wrong side Of all public questions, its very
nature being perverse, is opposing the pro-
position advanced by tho late irrigation
congress in this city. In the course of an
article on the subject our contemporary
says

manning should be carefully managed and turned
over only to actual settlers in small tracts The
lands are well enough under the control of Con.
gress until proper system of irrigation shall

There was no suggestion in the con gress
that the lands should be turned lover to
politicians to be manipulated for their spe-
cial benefit" On the contrary, the senti-
ment of the convention was that the

that the lands could not be manipulated by
the politicians and spectators. The in
tention Is that these lands. valueless in
their present condition, shall be made
worth something, when the benefits will 90

worthy men and scoundreIs to make
laws for them; but we would be
ashamed to cast such reflection upon the
people of Utah We can trust our legisla-
tors to deal with the question of these arid
lands, placing full confidence in them to

In the men she sends to the legislature than

problem.
