fiieting hut the most reliable appear to
be that in all probability cholera viii
rage again IN the infected districts OF Eu-
rope during the approaching summer.
Also that Notwithstanding the precau-
tions in the new laws on immigration
and quarantine, it is likely that cholera
germs may be brought TO these shores.
This is not mentioned for q scare, but for
caution. Cleanliness is good thing any
how and at any time, but in view OF pos
sible dangers, it is an absolute necessity.
1t will be interesting for some folks to
know that the Juice of lemons and
oranges is said to be fatal to the cholera
bacillus. Bacteria placed in it perish in
few hours. The acid in these fruits is
very healthful, and it is quite likely that
this is owing to its action on disease germs
of various kinds. The rinds are not so
obnoxious to cholera bacilli as the juice
is, but even on them the germs will not
survive longer than twenty-four hours.
These fruits are plentiful in the market
and are within the reach of almost every
body. At the risk of offending some
gentleman friends who dislike to be dis
turbed as to their home comforts, TIE
HERALD advises housewives and house,
keepers to go ahead with their spring
cleaning and make it thorough. And the
sanitary officers everywhere ought to
perform their duty and make war upon
filth to its determination. Clean up!

''It's of no consequence, as TooTs
would say, whether Judge POWERS in
dorsed WEST or LETT for governor. It is
pretty well known that if he could have
his way, neither would have had any
chance. But when the sTuscarora boss
attempts to iubilate, in dispatch, over
the defeat of the ''divisionists'' by the
appointment of gentleman who has led
the div;sionist Democrats in all the polit-
ical campaigns since the disarmament of
the Peoples party, he makes a long
cared animal of himself. as funny as DAN
RIcE's trick mule. Though LETT was
the last Democratic nominee for mayor of
Salt Lake, WEST was at the fore in the
campaign, while the grand sachem was
beating the anti-Democratic tom toms.
POWERS has a cheek on him which the
biggest gun on the Vesuvius could not
make nick in at forty rods.

danger. It's strength as commercial or
ganization had become SO great, and its
resources were so abundant, that he
doubted if a new company could accom-
plish much by taking the field.
Telephone service,'' he said, sis es-
sentially different from any other under
taking, because, apart from the capital
involved and the other resources at COM
mand, an old company has the sub
scribers, and they constitute the most
important element in the service. Forty
gas, water or light companies may lay
pipes in my street, and 1 may be equally
well served with gas or water or cleo
trio light by any of them. The value OF a
telephone in my house is based on the
subscription list of the company. The
instrument OF a company with l 600 sub
scribers is twice as valuable to me as that
of company with only 500 subscribers.
An instrument becomes less valuable ac-
cording to its inability to connect with
some one that L want to reach.
''The Bell company has all the subscrib-
ers now. Its equipment gives it the whip
hand over any rivals who may appear. 1t
can afford to cut rates and stand siege
much better than new company. Some
little saving might be made to subscribers
by rate war, but since subscribers order
an instrument because of its connections,
should say that the present company
would fight hard to prevent a newcomer
from capturing those connections.
Gin my opinion, the present company
is much more firmly entrenched than the
Western Union Telegraph company. Any
company can build telegraph lines to
Chicago, and if 1 choose to send messages
over new line there is no reason why it
should not serve me as we'll as the West
ern Union. But if 1 want certain con-
nection by telephone [ must subscribe to
the company having that connection; and
a new company, even if offering cheaper
service, must serve those with whom
wish to talk by telephone, or such service
would not be cheap to me at any price.
Gin regard to the expiration of patents,
| it is dangerous to assume too much. The
| Bell Telephone company controls, sup
pose, from 200 to 300 patents. Some of
them are important adjuncts to the SER
vice. The instrument now in use in my
house does not embrace a single patent
taken out by Bell, except his fundamen-
tai idea. Some of the patents held by
this company are new, and will be
guarded carefully for many years. a
long time ago the Bell company bought
out the interests of Berliner and Edison,
then in litigation. l do not know that
the Berliner patents have been extensive
ly utilized yet, and am of the impress
sion that the claim is made for them that
they establish anew, inclusive, funda-
mental and exclusive rights to things
that telephone subscribers can't get along
without. In other words, the present
company seems so to have secured its in
terests as to make rivalry dangerous
undertaking.

Destruction of Fish.

Complaints are coming in from various
places that giant powder is being used in
the streams for shooting fish for the mar
ket. 1t is alleged that this has become a
common practice. Provo and Weber
rivers are particularly mentioned as being
denuded of trout because of this practice
in past years.
Everybody ought to know that this is a
crime. 1t is punishable by the laws of
the territory. 1t is destructive OF the
fish in a way that no amount of angling
will bring about. It is not only the
quantities that are obtained by it for use,
but large numbers that are not utilized at
all that are put to death. It is detrimen-
tai to the public interest, spoils legitimate
sport and ought to be put down for good.
There is society for the protection of
game and fish. 1t is good one. We
have not heard much from it of late. But
some time ago its officers proceeded
against lawless persons for infractlon OF
the statute, and it seems that further &C
ton in that way is needed. When cases
of this vandalism are known they ought
to be reported to the officers of the law,
and, if they will not do their duty, the
society in this city should be communi-
dated with, and it may be depended upon
that something definite will be done.
Stop destroying the fish, or legal giant
powder will hoist you into Jail!

GIVE Us a Rest!

California has a new Sunday law which
came into operation as the month of
March went out. 1t is for the benefit of
the laborer. By that term we mean to
include all working people. The law pro-
vides that it shall be unlawful for an en-
pIoyer to cause any of his employees to
lation of the law is made misdemeanor.
1t applies to all cases, whether the person
is employed by the day, week, month or
year, but it is not to apply to any case of
emergency.
Perhaps it is not correct to call this a
Sunday law, because it does not mention
anything about particular day out of
seven in which workers are to be exempt
from labor. So that they are
only employed six days in seven,
the law will be satisfied. Nor
does it prevent voluntary work for
the whole seven days, so it has some loop
holes for exaeting employers to take ad-
vantage of. Cases of emergency too may
be easily invented, and the whole law is
somewhat loose in its bearings.
Many people think that Sunday laws
are in the nature of Entertainments on the
liberties of the citizen, and also of min
Cling of religion with the affairs of state.
There may be some color of truth in this.
But it is a fact demonstrated by expert
ence that one days rest out OF seven is
beneficial if not essential to the general
welfare. Ii that day is made uniform and
to fall on the time when religious people
attend public worship, it accomplishes a
double good to large number of citizens,
and need not be viewed az religious pro
vision by those who do not care to go to
church.
Sunday laws may be made so vigorous
as to be oppressive, ana Sunday customs
may be made obnoxious to both children
and adults. SO that the first day of the
week is the most unpleasant of all. That
would be an abuse of the Sunday re-
striction and would accomplish more
harm than good. The Sunday should be
day of rest, Of change from the regular
toll, Of serenity OF mind and repose OF
body. Those who are devotional can en-
gage in their religious services without
imposing bonds on others, and will not
make the day bit more sacred in fact
or in the eyes of the irreverent by caus-
ing Sunday to be sour, gloomy and sea-
son of bondage.
We believe that it is for the general
good that labor should be dispensed with,
so far as practicable one day in the week,
and therefore that reasonable Sunday
regulations are proper. The toiler should
have rest, the religious should have an
opportunity for devotion, and the sus-
pension of business is necessary to both.
The purpose of the law should be not to
establish or foster any particular re-
ligion but to s'give us rest"

If THE Washington correspondent OF
the Tribune had undertaken to get his in
formation about the status of the Utah
contingent at the interior department,
instead of at the hotel where Judge Pow
ERs is boarding, he probably would not
have been SO far out of the way in his
facts. We realize the difficulty OF trying
to reconcile the difference between the
Salt Lake and the Washington Tuscarora
view without some old-fashioned bare
faced lying, but part of the embarrass-
ment might have been unloaded on the
source of information.

Another New Business House.

There has been opened at 213 South
Main street, in the Wasatch block, as fine
wholesale and retail liquor and cigar
store as any city can boast of. The pro-
motors of this new enterprise are Messrs.
M. E. Mulvey & Co., who during the
past week have made their initial bow to
the public. Their warerooms and cellar
are well filled with a splendid line of
fancy bottled goods, barrels of rich old
whiskies, brandies and wines and cases of
fine imported cigars that defy COMPETE
ton. This firm wishes to state that they
cater only to the best trade, and to assure
you that 'family'' trade will be made a
speciality. You can get there from glass
to barrel or case OF their goods at any
time, and they invite you to call and in
spect their large and complete stock; they
will be more than glad to convince you
that they have the best the market can
afford at the most reasonable prices.
They request out of town merchants to
call on them. as they feel they are in a
position to quote and furnish them any
thing in their line az cheaply as any
house in town.

A Parliament Of Religions.

One of the numerous gatherings at the
Worlds fair will be the parliament of
religions, which is to convene on Mon
day, September 10, and close on Wednes-
day, September q. All the prominent
christian sects are, expected to be repre-
scented; also the disciples of Buddhism,
Confucianism, Shintoism, Hinduism,
Mahommedanism, Judaism, etc. The OBJ
ject is not religious controversy, or the
parliament would become a second Babel
with confusion OF brains, as well as of
tongues. Comparison of the best ideas
of all these conflicting creeds is what is
desired. And it is hoped that the result
will be a movement towards a general re-
ligion to which all good people can sub
scribe. Only such persons as are schol-
arIy representatives of the various relig-
ions are expected to take part in the pro-
ceedjngs.
The final topic to be considered on the
last day of the Parliament, after all the
chief religions have had their say, is to
be elements of perfect religion as recog-
nized and set forth in the different his
toric faiths. characteristics of the uIti-
mate religion. What is the centre CT the
coming religious unity of mankind?1
Whether all this religious diversity cali
be rendered sufficiently harmonious to
stop short OF row, remains to be seen.
OF all people in the world representatives
of the religious elements ought to be the
most patient, courteous and charitable.
But experience has shown that none are
more positive, vehement, discordant and
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-04-09

1t is to be hoped that this Parliament
will prove to be an exception to the rule
of religious debates, and that the result
VIII be increased light, greater tolerance
and an approach to that perfect agree
ment which would make religion the
greatest of all forces in the work of human
development.
