STocKS-The conditions which prevailed
on the Stock Exchange during the past
few days were rev ersed to-day. The bulls,
who had held things pretty nearly their
own way up to this morning, were obliged
TO give way 10 the bears, and even assisted
the short interes. TO lower prices by putting
considerable long stock on the market.
The conservative opinion inclined to the
belief that the abnormal rise in values re-
Quired a reaction 70 clear the situation and
nave the estabh shment Of a still higher
range OF prices. At the very opening q
pressure TO sell manifested itself which
was most marked in Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy. On the other hand Sugar
was strong and sold up ~ per cent. But
as the bear attack became more pro-
nounced the entire list yieldes, and,
with occasional recoveries, Industrisls
and miscellaneous specialties sold off from
II to AZ per cent, Chicago Gas, General
Electric, Cotton Oil, Burlington, Lake

St. Paul, Rock Island and Sugar being
most prominent in the decline. In some
instances there was recovery during the

ADistant Laundry.

At least one man in Brooklyn sends
his linen abroad to be laundried, and
he isn't man of fashion either, but
merely successful merchant. If he is
not disturbed by the customs author
tiles the system need not be very ex-
pensive, as linen packs small, and even
Queen Victoria pays her laundresses
absurdly low wages. The European
laundress is steady-going person, not
ambitious of bettering her position,
and remarkably tenacious of memory
where the names and faces of custom
ers are concerned. American naval Off
GERS encounter at Villefranche, in the
Mediterranean, French laundresses
who have done up the linen of the same
men for years, and an officer returning
to that sea after long absence finds
that his 1aundress remembers him.

A few weeks ago the newspaper cor

cloth which had lately been invented
was about to make revolution in the
art of war, but experts are beginning to
throw doubt upon it. The cloth will
turn any bullet that has yet been tried
upon it from a range of 500 yards, al
though the Lebel rife has not yet been
experimental with. 1t is claimed, how
ever. that as the majority of gunshot
bullet wounds are in the head or legs,
the coat would only afford partial pro-
lection ut best, and it is further objected
that its weight and warmth would prove
a serious objection to its use in the field.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-03-24

THE RECENT decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case of the
city OF st. Louis vs.. the Western Union
Telegraph company, establishes the prin-
ciple that the permission to erect poles
along postroads does not give the COM
pany any more right to the free use OF
streets than it would give a railroad COM
pany to build depot on the capitol
grounds. The decision is worth a great
deal to every large municipality. Rca-
sonabie taxation for privileges out of
which the company is making millions,
would not only swell the revenue, but
have tendency to limit the number of
unsightly poles. Or, on the other hand,
it might do better, and drive the company
into running its wires underground.

Trouble in Sewer.

The merchants of Sewer county are up
in arms against the Rio Grande Western
company. They complain OF extortionate
rates and lack OF disposition to meet the
wants OF the people. The Richfield AdU0-
cate uses some very strong language in
denunciation of the road and endorses the
charge OF the business men.
A committee has been appointed to COR
respond with the leading merchants Of
Wayne, Piute, Garfield and Kane coun-
ties, and request them to send delegates to
meeting at Richfield for the purpose Of
trying TO make terms with the Union Pa
cific railroad officials with view to
changing the route of transportation.
We do not know what are the griev-
ances, nor how much cause the people of
Sewer and adjoining counties have for
complaint. But we presume there is a
solid foundation for it or it would not be
so strong. Freight from Salina is hauled
by team to all the counties named, and it
must be worth while for the Rio Grande
Western people to retain this trade.
We suggest to our friends in Sewer and
others particularly interested, that while
they may have good reason for denuncia-
ton and remonstrance, it would be as
web for them to confer with the officials
Of the company against which they have
a grievance. OF course, if they can pull
on another string and find it more to
their advantage, we have no objection.
This is not our fight and we have no con-
nection with either railroad. But we be-
lieve if there was full and frank ex-
PLANTATION of affairs between the business
men and the railroad officials, proper
understanding might be reached and all
that can be fairly desired can he accom-
piished. Try it and see.
