The NEW CANDIDATE.

Stand aside, Presidential aspirants B.
H, you be content that for four years,
come March next, you have sat in grand
fathers chair, and have been covered with
grandfather's hat-a world too wide for
thy shrunken patel GROVER, give up the
race, go to thy wife, listen to the innocent
prattle of Baby RUTH, be content there
with, and heed no longer the whisperings
of ambition. If restless in this narrow
sphere, practice law, but abuse not oppos-
ing counsel. Hill, get thee to monastery :;
go, get thee hence! Hastings and castiga-
tions will cure thee of thine ambition, SO
prone to overleap itself and fall on
failure. To monastery, go. Be
virtuous and you'll be happy, though
you may miss lots Of fun!
FLOWER, PALMER ALGER, GRAY-all of you
hide your diminished heads, get to cover,
do as the wiser BLAINE has done, swear
that you will not take the oath of Office if
elected President. And thou, GLADSTONE,
thou sage of Hawsrden we shout to thee
across a mighty continent. across a
mightier ocean, and trust that no bowling
tempest will hinder our voices reaching
thee. Write no more letters against woman
suffrage. The dispatches yesterday say
thy letters have done much injury to that
cause, and you have US much offended. Thy
finger on thy lips, man, and listen:

THE SALTAlR ROAD.

The city council has finally done the right
thing by the Saltair Railway company,
granting franchise to lay track on
South Temple street, on the north side of
the Union Pacific line. When the Union
Pacific track shall be removed from the
centre Of the street, the Saltair track will
be shifted few feet to the south so that
the respective lines will be equally dis
tinct from the curb. We are glad
that the council has arranged
this matter, and thus permitted the Saltair
people to proceed with their enterprise,
and we are glad also that the policy of en-
couraging railway building has been main
tanned Salt Lake has always realized that
railroads were desirable institutions, and
has acted upon the theory that they were
friends rather than enemies. We think
the policy has been wise. We do not think
city can have too many railroads, and we
have always thought that the generous
course pursued Of granting franchises was
proper. The long struggle which the
Saltair company had to get into the city
gave the impression that there was to be a
reversal of the policy which has prevailed
from the first; but at Friday evening
session the council righted itself.

THAT UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

The Book which tells how the existing
confusion of languages was first intro
duced, at the building of the predecessor of
the Eiffel tower in the land of Shinar, tells
US also something about "a pure language"
that is to be restored to the people in the
last days. We have only to read the
church weeklies for a single issue, to say
nothing of the predictions Of college pro-
fessors, to learn that there are great
many persons who believe the last days are
upon US. But where is the pure language2
a couple of years ago it might have been
thought by the newspaper and magazine
articles printed at that time, that the
prophesied tongue was about TO take the
place of all others, the recollection of
which circumstance leads US to inquire
what has become of Volapukl The word
itself never presented an attractive ap-
pearance. that we should be enamored of it
al first sight. and the pronunciation of 1t,
with strong and long accent on the last
syllable, did not invest it with special
melody IN the ears of English-speaking
people. 1t was an artificial word-not one
of those catchy affairs that go to the 'front.'
meant an artificial language. In this re-
spect it differs, or differed, we should say
from all other languages whose beginnings
we cannot trace, and which have grown
into their present state through ages of use
and Improvement. The English tongue,
for example, has had an evolution OF
fifteen centuries, and is growing and
changing still. The alterations are so vast
and varied that if the English people of to
day could be confronted with their ances-
tors of a thousand years ago, they would
no more understand one another's iabbeI
than either would understand the speech
of the barbarians of equatorial Africa.
But though it was said that Volapuh
would be more easily mastered than Eng
lish, German, French, Italian or Spanish
and promised great revolution in voca
communication, we scarcely ever hear of il
now, and SCHLEGER, the inventors name
Is rarely mentioned. Though its root words
are taken from all the great and aggressive
languages of the earth, and its advocates
tell US it avoids most of the difficulties Ell
countered in the task of learning new
one, it has been permitted to drop out o
sight. a common international Language
would save an enormous amount Of trouble
even if used only among civilized nations
and it might ultimately usurp the place o
all civilized tongues and become PRACTICAL.

HARRI .ON'S REPLY.


THE HERALD has said that the appeal by
the Wyoming rus.lers to the President was
mistake, for the reason that the troubles
in the state named were not such as to de-
mand that the executive of the nation be
made the arbiter in the dispute between
the ranchers and the cattle barons. BY
going to the President with their griev-
ance the rustlers confessed weakness in
their local government and expressed de-
sire to enlist an illegitimare sympathy in
their behalf President HARRIsoN's reply,
as printed yesterday morning, veri-
fies the correctness of the position
taken by this paper, and IS
also recognition of the principle
of the American Union which all will be
pleased to note in the President. Mr..
HARRISON tells the rustlers that as a citi-
zen he will receive and listen to any delega-
ton they may send, but as President he
can do nothing for or against them, the
adjustment of their troubles belonging tc
