ABOUT PAvEMENTS.

The council at its late session authorized
the issuance Of notices Of intention to pave
certain sidewalks, the materials to be used
being cement, brick and asphalt. The
walks to be paved run into the miles and
the money involved amounts to many
thousand dollars. We think the under
taking is too much for one year, and we
also think that it will be very grave mis-
take to lay any brick, while asphalt, though
talked about for years, is experimental so
far as this city is concerned. However,
the matter is one for the property
the tax payers, to decide for themselves.
1t is for those who are to pay for this i'm
provement to say whether or not they want
the work done and are ready and willing to
contribute their respective proportion of
Of the money required. The notices should
convey to the property owners in an
Ineligible and easily understood manner
the cost of the pavement and the
material to be used, that all may
vote Understandings. In the matter of
extending water mains in some districts
the people have known absolutely nothing
of the intention of the council until the
notice of the tax being due and payable
was received, and then it was too late to
protest. This ought not to be the case in
the matter of these sidewalks; the people
should have full knowledge of ali the facts,
when they can say If they want brick. or
asphalt, or cement, or tagging.
We believe that wherever brick has been
ordered the Improvement will be rejected,
and we think it should be rejected until a
thorough test has been made and the tax
payers can see for themselves whether or
not they are being required to pay for
something they do not want We also be-
lieve that until asphalt has been tried, it
ought not to be adopted in any district, be-
cause if it shall prove failure the people
who have paid for it will have no remedy.
but will have to endure the nuisance and
put up with the loss of their money. Il
has been determined that cement properly
laid is eminently successful in this climate
satisfactory test has been made this last
winter. Therefore, the taxpayers in the
district where cement is to be laid can vott
intelligently, and of course the majority
win be in favor of going ahead with thu
Improvement.
And now the council should go further
and declare the intention to pave the side
walks on East Temple street from Soutl
Temple TO Third South, and with the bes
material that has been mentioned, the ma
terial which is used everywhere when al
enduring walk is desired. We refer, o
course to stone tagging. The property o.
East Temple street can afford to pay for
good sidewalk, and let US have one whicl
will be q credit to the city and an evidenc
of real prosperity and enterprise.

THE FRUSTRATING SHOCKS.

Of malarial fever are not to be counter
acted by quinine with any degree of GER
tainty, or for any length Of time The eradi-
cation and prevention of diseases of MAS
matiC type are, however, ascertained pos
sibilities. Long experience has shown
that there is infinitely more preventive
efficacy IN the fine botanic medicine, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, than in the aka
loids, drugs and poisons which were for
merly the only recognized means of re-
moving and anticipating attacks of fever
and ague and bilious remittent. When the
system has been depleted by periodically
recurring paroxysms, this agreeable re-
storative renews the fund of energy, and
is not only positive specific, but repairs
the damage to the general health inflicted
by all febrle complaints partaking of the
malarial char acter.

THE ATTORNEYS RESIGNATION.

Colonel MERRITT has done well as city
attorney. He brought learning and extern
sive legal experience to the office and has
so performed the duties of the position as
TO win for himself higher degree of public
esteem than he ever before held We be-
lieve he endeavored to serve the commun-
ity conscientiously and to the best of his
ability, and so far as he is concerned he
has been eminently successful Whatever
of failure has been noted cannot be charged
TO his neglect, nor to his lack of knowledge
of the law.
Colonel MERRITT has resigned, and the
public will think better of him for this act,
though regretting the loss of his services.
The people will recognize in his retirement
the fact that he has been actuated in going
out of Office by determination to maintain
his self-respect. The duties of the city at
torney are largely of an advisory character.
The city council and the city officials are
expected to apply to him for legal inter
probation and advice, and in the case of
the council it is presumed that he
will keep that legislative body within
the lines of the law in its official proceed
ings. He is paid salary for this work
for being useful rather than ornamental
If there be nothing Of this kind for him to
do, then there is no occasion for city attor-
ney, and the Office should be abolished and
the salary saved. Colonel MERRITT did his
utmost to keep the council in the line of the
law, but he was defiantly ignored and his
statement Of the law and his advice were
spurned. OF course the Office was no place
for him unless he was willing to prostitute
his learning and bring himself into con-
tempt with himself for the sake of the
salary. He could not afford to DO this, any
more than he could afford to be snubbed
and insulted by lot of reckless fellows
who were bent on pauperizing the people IN
order that they may make showing -
The attorney resigned, and everybody will
applaud him for doing so. inasmuch as he
has shown by this act that his integrity
and his reputation as a lawyer are
worth more to him than the few dollars
which he was drawing from the municipal
treasury.

THE FANATICS PLEA.

Our government. says our esteemed con-
temporary, is equally tolerant of all reli-
gions. 1t no more fosters the Christian
church than any other temple Of worship
of other religious worshipers. 1t tolerates
and protects the church as against annoy
ances, but it is no more based upon Christi
anity than Mohammedanism. So our high
est tribunals have often decided. There is
not an instance in history where any civil
government has attempted or assumed to
foster ard support the church, but what
thereby both the church and civil govern
ment have been corrupted and demoralized.
Religion addresses itself entirely to the
heart and conscience, and no man should
be forced in any direction of his conscience.

"BUCKET SHOPS"

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 9Th, 1899.
To Eiitor Desert Nelcs:
Iohserve in the dispatches frequent
reference 10 what are called "buckei
shops" / am aware that this title Is
given to some speculative concerns OF
a questionable character, but would
like to be informed as TO their exact
nature. The term is not in local use,
and would not be surprised ifa good
many people imagined that ''bucke:
shop" is n place where buckets are
made by machinery. SEARcHER.
The term "bucketshops" Is not
applied to a place where buckets oil
pals are made. 1t is a word now in
general use wherever gambling In
stocks or produce is practiced. Chi.
cago may be said to be its home
The Legislature Of Illinois tried tc
suppress the "bucketshops" but !,
was unsuccessful. The Chicago
Board Of Trade has been at wal
with ''bucketshops" for the past Il We
years. No member Of that Board
can operate n "bucketshop."
The BUCKET shop is an Of.
fee run 10y broker who deals in
'margins, in "ruts," "calls" and
"straddles" in the stock or produce
markets. The bucket shop broker
will invest sums rs low as s.. The
patrons Of the bucket shop are d..
vided into ''bulls" and "bears."
Properly speaking the "buckei
shop" epitomises all that is dishon.
est and speculative in the trading
world. 1t deals principally in what
is called "options." These options
embrace either n rise or fall OF
stocks or produce generally within a
limit OF thirty days. For instance,
a man goes to q bucket shop and in
vests S on an option OF 100 shares Of
U. p. Stock. He buys for a rise
Suppose the stock is selling at the
time at 80 and If within ten days IL
advances to so, then the bucket SHOP
patron can sell and pocket the ad.
vance. But IL there Is no advance
before the limit expires, then all is
Lost.

STANLEY'S PECULIAR VIEWS,
On the Subject Of Womanly Charac-
teristics.

Correspondence Of the DEsERr- NEW.
The great explorer, Stanley. has
some peculiar views on the subicc,
Of womanly characteristics, which
will doubtless he quite rs intere sting
TO your numerous readers as the
report Of his early days or his latest

written by him just before his last
