CHAIR Of GEOLOGY AND MINING.

BY act of the legislative assembly of
Utah passed at the twenty-hinth session,
and approved by the governor in March,
1890, the chair of geology and mineralogy
was established in the University of Des-
eret. Chapter 80 of the laws Of Utah, con-
tains the act establishing and defining the
aforesaid chair. In section 3 of the chapter
the objects are set forth in the following
words: The object of the creation Of said
chair shall be: First-The delivery under
the direction of the chancellor and board OF
regents of the university of lectures on
geological, meteorological, meteorological.
metallargical, and kindred subjects to ad-
vanced students of the university and to
residents of Utah. Second-The formation
Of natural science collections and a natural
! science library to be located in said terri
tory, especial attention therein 10 be given
to the mineral resources and building ma
terial of the territory. Third-To form the
basis of future school Of mines"
! This is the law of the territory. In COM
| pliance with this, classes in mineralogy
and geology have been formed, lectures
! have been given, some specimens have been
collected and placed in the university, and
some laboratory work has been done and is
now being carried Oh with the moro i'd
vanced students. During the present
academic year eighty-seyen students have
been in regular attendance at lectures and
practical exercises in geology and mineral
ogy, at least twelve Of whom are expecting
to complete the courses in the mining de
partment. We understand that funds are
greatly needed for the purchase of appara
tus, books, models and material for carry
ing through the work.

THE IRRIGATION BILL.

The irrigation bill passed its second read
ing in the Council yesterday without
objection. This is good sign, Indicating
that the members have carefully con-
sidered the provisions Of the measure and
found no fault with them. AS very nearly
all the gentlemen of the assembly are
familiar not merely with the general SUBJ
iect of irrigation but with the streams and
water supply of the territory, and with the
rights existing, they should be able to
frame bill which will result in much
benefit. What is needed here more
than anything else is system
/ by which the water can be saved and made
to do the most good. We have seen it in
print many times that all the waters in
Utah are claimed or owned" and thai
therefore agriculture has about reached it.

of the old armies which gives the most
reasonable promise of reformation than
throw their votes entirely away upon some
evanescent, transitory movement, even
though it more nearly represents the pass
ing fancy.
At this time all the intellectual leaders Of
the nation have concentrated their atten-
ton upon few salient and conspicu-
Gus issues, and in their wide scope
they embrace many of those OBJ
jects that the manipulators OF a
third party seek to bring into prominence.
1t is absurd to expect that the two exist
ing national parties, with all their ramiti-
cations, branches and divisions, will stand
aside to witness q mere spectacular parade
of an unorganized, unarmed, undisciplined,
unofficered host respectable though it be
in both character and numbers. Under
such circumstances, without the slightest
expectation of carrying the electoral vote
OF single state, the third party move
ment seems preposterous.
THE HERALD feels too warm sympathy
for the animating spirit of those who par
ticipated in this third party conference,
the laboring men, mechanics, farmers anc
others who feel themselves oppressed, tc
treat their movement with ridicule. Sucf

SENATOR PLAT assured Boss POWERS
in Washington that his committee on terri
tories would do nothing, absolutely moth
ing" so far as concerns legislation for
Utah. This would seem to mean that no
report of any sort would be made by that
committee, and that therefore the Senate
would have no opportunity to act upon the
matter. We shall see as to this. Possibly
Mr.. PLAT may be induced to make some
kind of a report, as the gag business is
pretty well played out now.

be very encouraging, for only small por-

1t is believed there is enough water here TO

Those who have investigated and claim to

not made to do one-third as much as they
are capable of.
The subject is one demanding very care

makers, first with the view to the protec-
ton of vested rights, and second with
