There is tariff of IS cents a ton on iron

ore abroad is as high as in the United

the wages on this side just about doubled those
paid in England. Do our people perform double

Certainly they do, in all those cases il

contemporary imagines, and are limited
strictly to skilled labor using fine machin

A VERY unfortunate and extremely an
noying mistake occurred in THE SUNDAY
HERALD, Mr.. GEORGE STRINGFELLow's
name being made to appear in headline
over the account of the proceedings in the
criminal court. There was no reference to
Mr.. STRINGFELLow in the article, and as a
matter of fact the gentleman had not been
in court. The reader would at once under
stand that GEORGE STRINGHAM was in
tended, and all those who are acquainted
either personally or by reputation with
Mr.. STRINGFELLow, one of our old and
highly respected citizens, would know that
he could not be spoken of in the ugly con

TIE LIBERAL papers both advocate the
sale of the Old Fort block, and suggest
that park land elsewhere be bought with
the money. There are several objections
IA park is needed right where the Old
Fort block is situated The very fact that
that part of the city is dull with smoke is
the strongest argument in favor of pre-
serving that place as a park for the suffer
ing people of that locality. Not less on
account of the smoke alone, than on account
of the carbonic acid which accompanies it
and upon which vegetation feeds, should the
park be kept right there.
2-None of the money would be expended
for park elsewhere if this one should be
sold. No additional park area is now
needed near Liberty park, though the lat
ter might well be increased in size fol
future needs.
3-The money would as quickly disappea,
if the council gets its hands upon it as thu
rest of the enormous revenues has done.

UTAH AT THE FAIR.

The HERALD has frequently been asked
to say how and to what extent Utah is to
be represented at the Worlds fair in Chi
cago, and has as often been forced to con-
TESS its inability to answer. If the terri
tory is going to make any sort of an
exhibit it is time the preliminary steps
were taken and the machinery put in
motion. 1t has been said by some that
nothing can be done before the legislature
has met and made an appropriation. If we
wait for that it might as well be understood
that very little will be done and Utah will
present but an insignificant appearance at
the great exhibition.
The legislature will not convene
for a year, and that will be only
year before the opening of the
fair. There might be time then to do all that
is required, provided the appropriation was
large enough. With plenty of money q
grand display could be arranged in year.
But tmust be apparent to everybody at all
familiar with the local situation that there
will not be plenty of cash. 1t will not be
much that the legislature will devote to
this purpose, for it will not be much that
the assembly will have to appropriate.
OF course there will be an appropriation,
but in the very nature of things it will be
entirely inadequate to the making of any
thing like fair exhibit of the res ources OF
Utah. If we are to have fair display it
must be gotten up and the expense borne
by private citizens, and it is time some &C
ton was taken looking to the business
Utah should havea good exhibit. or none a
all. A cheap and incomplete display will
do more harm than good, conveying the
idea that the territory has little to show
and is too poor to make an attractive ex.
hibit.

WE OBSERVE that our suggestion to the
council to use wooden fiume at present to
bring in the water from Parley's canon,
meets with general approval. The fact is,
wooden iume would answer well enough
for five years, or until such time as pipe
that would stand great pressure could be
put in. We shall need a greater water
pressure before long, and the brick con-
duit will not supply any additional pres
sure. Another fact is, that the city cannot
afford the brick conduit at this time There
is no money with which to pay for it, and
the council would better retrench while
they may, for the time is speedily coming
when they must. 1t will be comparatively
easy to bring in the water in wooden
flume, using the present canal on the bench
to hold the f1ume. We must have the
water, and the cost of the brick conduit is
very great, while its durability is uncer-
tain. Use wooden hume.

BRADLAUGH.

in lockwood cemetery on the Sd inst. They
were not all his followers either, but in
Guided all kinds and condition of
men. Among those present were Mr..

Truth, upon the reaction which had set in

there is single member more popular or
more respected than he on both Sides Of

friendly way, said to me: what a much
better man your colleague is than you are p
and l entirely agree with them"
The Illustrated London Ne,rs says of him
The man who has thus united public opinion
in respectful though, perhaps, not warm
tribute was at one time the best-hated person
in England. The change took place six years
ago. after the conclusion of his parliamentary
struggle. Success developed the more sympa.
thetic side of his character and greatly softened
his manners, which at their best were singu.
larry winning. He courted friendship, and the
result was that, though on his entrance into
parliament he was almost ostracised, he lat
terly became very companionable member
He had especially pleasant relationships with
conservatives of the type of Sir JOHN GoRs1
and Sir WALTER BARTTELoT. During the DAYS
of his struggle for his seat, he was much af

which was very kind and cordial He lived
simply and very cheaply; but he had singu

THE OLD FORT BLOCK

1t is probable that the city council will
act, tonight, upon Mr.. BACoN's proposition
in reference to the Old Fort square. During
the week there has been a good deal of
rustling in favor of the proposition, and it
is presumed that members of the council
have been urged to accept the terms offered
and dispose of the block. THE HERALD has
opposed the selling of that square just as
earnestly as it opposed giving itaway when
this latter request was presented few
months ago, and for the same general rea-
sons. The chief of these is that the ground
is needed for public park and ought not
to be alienated. 1t belongs to the people
and the people want it held for their
pleasure and benefit 1t would be an
outrage on the public, justified by moth
ing, to forever close to the community
the grounds which have for years been
looked upon as one of the peoples breath
ing places when the corporation should be
able to transform the square into park
In this connection and at this time, we
will repeat what we have before said, that
the city council has no legal right to sell
or otherwise dispose of the block in ques-
ton, and any purported sale or giving
away will be unlawful and void. The
square has been set apart for the use and
benefit of the people as public park, and
cannot be otherwise disposed of. We be-
lieve that any citizen can prevent the sale,
and we hope that if the council shall so far
forget its obligations and duties to the pub
lie as to attempt to ALLEVIATE the property
the courts will be appealed to prevent the
| outrage. 1t is to be hoped that the matter
| will not be forced to such pass. 1t is tc
be hoped that the council will heed the
sentiments and wishes of nine tenths OF
the community, and will not openly and
wickedly disregard public and private
rights; but if it shall persist in committing
this great wrong it will be the duty of in
dividuals to step in and see that the people
of Salt Lake now and to come are not de-
prived for all time of this valuable parl
site.
1t may here be again remarked that tn,
ownership of this square will cut not tn,
slightest figure in the building of the Deel
Greek railway. If the construction of tina
road is dependent upon the title of the Oh
Fort block, the road will never be built.

was due to kindness on the part of large
hearted men with whom he met in thelater
years of his life; while the bitterness which
characterized the earlier years Of his pub
lie career may be traced to the undoubted
ill-natured bigotry with which his early
doubts on revelation were treated;
He at one time was Sunday school
teacher, and a very fervid Christian. A
little timely tolerance and some of the
kindness with which he met in the later
years Of his life might have preserved him
as an advocate of his earlier religious views.
What an outrageous and un-Christian
like thing intolerance is! How despicable
is bigotryl How much mischief has it not
done! Above all men, true Christians
can afford to be the largest
hearted, othe most patient and tolerant, and
have least cause to be afraid of attacks
upon their doctrines. Secure in the
strength of their truth, why should they
meet their assailants with bitterness or
anathemas? The truth will stand, and by
moderation and that gentleness which
comes from consciousness of the posses.
sion of it will win more than by denunci-
ations and intolerance. If in this
existence where doubts and fears
make up so much of life there are some, as
certainly there are, who fail to see the path
direct which leads to hope, to faith, to
knowledge of that which is divine, that is a
cause of sorrow rather than of anger. And
if there are some gigantic minds among
whom we need not hesitate to class BRAD
