The Rain. Making Humhug.

The rain fskirs who made such a stir
some time ago have not fourished much
during the year of our Lord eighteen
ninety-two. Some spssmodic efforts to
bring down the upper moisture have been
MADE and have been signal failures But

arid regions into gardens of beauty hav 9

of greater Importance, both to the cultiva-
tors of the soil and the rain-brewers them
selves if their professions were genuine,
that the llfe-giving showers should be pro-
duced in the unusually dry seasonl
We are afraid that the rain-fakirs have
no confidence in their own claims, and that
they have been practiclng on the credality

Coal swipdling.

Tie grand jury. which was discharged
yesterday, embodied in its report to the
court grave charge against the coal deal
ers OF this CITY, The evidence brought
before that body was not sufficiently direct
to warrant indictments against the guilty
persons, but it was ample, it seems, to de-
monstrate the fact that coal swindling is
common IN this city.
This is serious matter for the citizens.
The price Of coal is high enough, in all con-
science, if the measure is just and full. and
when to this excessive cost is added the
price Of the deficiency in weight. consumers
are paying dearly indeed for their fuel.
1t may not be possible, without further
facilities for bringing the black diamonds
that are within our borders, to induce the
railroad companies owning coal fields to
lower the price. But it seems to TIE HER
AID that the city ordinances in relation to
coal weighing might be enforced and the
nefarious practice of coal cheating be stop
ped.
If consumers refuse TO receive coal with
out the certificate of the weigher, that
might help to arrest the evil. But some
detective work should be inaugurared by
the city officials, and on discovery of the
swindlers prosecution should follow and
the full penalty should be enforced. Let a
determined effort be made to put stop to
the infamous practice denounced by the
grand jury.

not now be counted. Both OF these gentle
men have written their designations.
which, however. they recalled, and one Of
them, MIR. BUTTER, was q candidate on the
Republican ticket at the late election for
the office he now holds 1t seems a little
strange that, feeling as they do now, they
should have permitted the Utah commits
sion TO have ordered the election without
suing by mandamus, or that they should
have waited till the count was half through
before making this play. Such was Mr.
BUFFERS confidence in the validity Of the
law, that his name was allowed TO be on
the Republican ticket If he had been
elected, he never would have been heard
from as holding his term expired next fall.

The New Railroad TO the Coast.

There has been little said of late concern
ing the projected San Francisco s. Salt
Lake railroad, which doomed up some
time ago as a settled proposition that ouly
needed tne arrangement of some details to
materialize as a fact. But it is rumored
that the matter has been allowed 10 re-
main quiescent because of the excitement
over the election, and because it was de-
sirable TO find out what kind OF a legisla-
ture California WAS to have before any
definite proceedings should be undertaken.
The prospects are at length announced
to be bright for the venture. The new
state legislators viii be favorable to the
enterprise, ami it is anticipated that gen
erous subsidy viii be Forthcoming to en-
sure the road success. II this is true we
may look for movements which will be of
great interest 10 this region.
A competing line direct to the Pacific
coast cannot fail to be of immense benefit
to the people OF Salt Lake. Both in
freights and passenger traffic the saving
will be important If competition Is the
life of trade, it is also safeguard and a
boon in traffic and transportation. We
hope to hear good news from the west con-
corning the air line from Salt Lake to San
Francisco.

Born OUR political contemporaries being

it, we are not disposed at present to fur

THESE neighbors, which have no doubt
about the necessity of the free col mage of
silver, have been advocating a silver con-
vention, local. national or international. The
difference between US is that we want a
congress of buyers as well as sellers of

quired, and If our contemporaries are un-
willing now tohelp an enterprise intended
TO incidentally boom Salt Lake, perhaps
they will think better of it after while.

A coLoRED DIVINE, the Rev. DR.. JoHN
SON, delivered sensational discourse to
Anglo-Africans In Washington last Sun
day. in which he declared that by the de-
feat OF the Republican party the cause of
Southern outrages'' had been removed
and the doors of industry opened to the
negro. He said boldly that Providence
caused the Republican disaster of the Sth,
the position of the party on mob rule hav-
ing became "a stencil in the nostrils of JE-
HovAE." The election Of CLEVELAND
means the absolute enforcement of the
negro from AL parties aud the destruction
of race prejudice, tue Southerner having
already begun to regard the Anglo African
as fellow citizen, and TO open the doors of
industry to him.

views on the silver question of the various
classes of the people in tho3s djff3rent ma

gree as to the policy that should be pur-
sued in relation to the white metal. There
are not only advocates OF the extremes Of
but of compromise measures of varying
degrees.
The United States will be represented by

The result of the conference to the cause
of silver may well be regarded as dubious.
The only pronounced advocates OF free
coinage ia the American delegation are
Senator JoNEs and Congressman Nc
CREAMY. Dr. ANDREWS and Comptroller
CANNON are goldites. ALLISON and LEgcu
are not in favor of increasing the coinage
of silver. So the ODDS are rather against
reconciliation, so far as the United States
representatives are concerned, and il is
this country that at present seems TO be
more vitality interested than any other in
the restoration of silver to its rghlful
place.
If bimetallism shall be regarded with
favor by majority of the delegates. it is
probable that change in The ratio between
gold and silver viii be proposed, % TO |
being already suggested. This will not
suit the minds of the best informed silver
men OF this country. Such change in the
ratio is scarcely likely to remain per
manent. a demand for a return to some
thing nearer the present figures would
probably arise before very long and oc-
cssion great disturbance ana difficulty
The world will watch with anxiety the
deliberations Of the conference. In no
country will more interest be taken than
in America ana in no part OF the United
States will the result be looked for N ore
eagerly than right here ia Utan, wnere

nearly every quarter section where there
is any water, who have built cabins of
government lumber, and are waiting to

struek Tn. LOVER Regions.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. la shalt has
been run into subterranean fire at
Webb city in the zinc-mining region.
The hole, which is on the Clinton &
Wyatt property, is 164 feet deep, and
has been growing hotter since depth
of 20 feet was reached. The workmen
had to quit today and flames burst
through. Various drifts run in this
part of the district have encountered
this strange heat, but today brought
the first outward manifestation. The
ore found in the mine is of the best
quality in all the zinc country. The
place now uncovered is 200 feet square.
1t is so hot that the hardest miner can
not stand it for a moment. The tenn
perature is estimated at 900 deg. Fahren-
heit.
