CLUTE CAPS THE CLIMAX.

The citizens OF Salt Lake are patient
and long suffering people They will
allow the sidewalks to be INSTRUCTED, and
for weeks at time they will tramp in the
middle Of the street and never grumble.
They viii drop into manholes that are left
uaguarded IN the main thorOughfares OF
the city, and so far from complaining OF
the wanton carelessness, they will thank
their creator if they crawl out half alive.
They will suffer the hold-up 10 stop them
80 the even tenor of their way by levelling
a miniature howitzer under their noses,
and give up their loose change to him
without tiinching. They VIII pass
brazen sirens Haunting their pes
tilential trade in broad daylight and
only sigh at the decentralization that is over
taking US. They will swallow bushels OF
dust left by Omaha contractors doing Salt
Lake work without a sign of objection.
They will do all these things, aud many
more. and still try to be happy.
Other people IN other cities have been
known to do as well, or i'll. They have
drifted gradually into iniquity and misery
and scarcely felt the descent until they
more headlong But be this as it may,
other people in other cities never allowed
themselves to be waylaid by the tax asses

CORN TO FEED EUROPEANS.

The London Standard makes the sugges-
ton that European countries that are short
Of wheat and rye enough for bread shall
substitute corn. AS the STANDARD SAYS, it
is a wholesome and nutritious food, and
properly prepared it is very palatable
If our government were to secure from
European countries repeal of their duties
on Indian corn, and efforts made to famil-
iarize the people with its virtues, there IS
reason for believing the foreign demand
for this, the largest Of all our farm crops,
would be greatly increased, and the price
proportionately improved. A small guam
tity of corn Of inferior quality is raised in
France. The annual importation from the
United States is about 100000 bushels.
and as much more from Roumania, Russia
the Argentine Republic and other coun-
tries, the consumption being about A, OO0,-
900 bushels, of which 2S, 900, 900 are raised
in France.
But without going into the statistics of
other nations, it is worthy of note that
their importation Of corn, as well as their
native supply, enters largely into the feed
of farm animals and poultry, and into the
sock of distilleries, starch factories and
transportation companies. The prices are
high on account of the tariff, for European
countries impose a protective duty or
American grain in retaliation for the
similar duty we impose on European
manufacturers, so that our policy react.
upon our farming interests at last.
If there is good sense in MIR. BLAISE's ad
vice that trade arrangements ought to b.
made for the free introduction of our floul
and pork into the South American markets
there would be quite as much wisdom in ar
rangements for the free introduction o

INSTEAD OF England relaxing her laws re-
iative to the importation of American cattle
into that country, she has just made them
more stringent by royal order which goes
into effect next January. The order de-
clares;
Cattle are not to be carried on more than
three decks, nor on any hatch above a compart
ment containing other cattle nor in any position
interfering with navigation and ventilation
Every part used for cattle must be provided
with substantial weather proof pens There
must be one competent foreman, with one as
sistant, to every twenty-five head of cattle
ANY animal seriously injured must be forth
with slaughtered. ANY contravention OF the
or ! sr will make the owner, charterer and mas
ter of the vessel guilty of al offense against the
contagious diseases (animals) act OF 1878.

So THE Republican party is going to
serve notice on the Republican admins

Utah who are loyal to the party, and should
remove all others. The question was
sprung by Mr.. ARTHUR BROWN and elected
warm applause from the convention. One
can scarcely withhold admiration from q
convention that can make such demand
upon the administration, and doubtless it
will be listened to in Washington and the
Republicans will get the offices-just as we

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

1t is not wise thing that France and
Germany are doing. In words they are
fighting over again the war which termi-
mated at the fall of Sedan twenty years
ago; and war talk is not an incentive to
peace. 1t reminds one of scene often

of United States Minister EeAN from

"What is the finest and fastest engine

We have a new engine on our run from
this city to Chicago that is a splendid ma
chine. She can make sixty miles n even
seventy miles an hour without a strain.
She carries an extra long fire box. 1t is now
eight feet. The old style was six feet. Her
boiler is four inches larger, which enables
her to generate steam more freely, and her
cylinder measures 1924 inches. h old
was 1924 inches. The weight on the driv--
ing wheels is $4,000 pounds and the total
weight of the machine is 100000 pounds.
l believe our driving wheels must be made
larger, and while reducing the weight of
the cars to make fast time, we must have
heavy engines.
II have been on our trains where the rate
of speed was eighty miles an hour. Fol
instance, in 1885 | made the run from Buff
falo to Rochester at the rate of eighty
miles an hour. On Nov. is, 1886, a special

average rate of speed was sixty nine miles
per hour although at some points it was
seventy-eight miles per hour. There were
but two cars in the train. Another fast
train was run on the West Shore road from
Buffalo to Weehawken on July 8, 1886, a
distance of 422.6 miles, in nine hours and
twenty-three minutes. The average rate of
speed of that train was ia miles per

Mr.. Buchanan has under consideration q
new device for increasing the speed of our

miles an hou if forced. This new idea I
have not yet examined very carefully. but
it strikes me as being practicable. Il is no

says, cut through the atmosphere |

by this device at least ten miles IN hour

be thrown off instead of eddying around
the machinery and cab and thus retarding
progress. A series of pipes might be util-
lied for oiling the machine at stopping
