A HINT TO THE WISE.

The City Council will probably wres-
Tie again tonight with the street light
ing problem. We respectfully suggest
that the gentlemen who compose that
body regard the question on it's merits
without being influenced by capitalists,
corporations or fads, no matter Of
what origin.
The gist OF the matter is the purpose
for which street lamps are erected.
VIII any sane man argue that they are
put up for the benefit of adjacent or
abutting property? Are they not for
the convenience Of the general public?
Is not the purpose in view the illumin-
alton Of the streets. instead Of the
houses or vacant lots that may be in
their vicinity? Are not the streets
common property? If SO. should not
the expense Of lighting the streets
come out Of the common funds?
What does it matter if thirty years
old charter permits an assessment on
real estate according to the benefits
derived, if there are no such actual
benefits? The notion contained in the
charter is q misrepresentation of the
whole question OF street lighting. 1t
ought not to have been classed with
sewers and other special Improvements
for the particular benefit OF certain
pieces of property. For the object in
view is the making Of the public streets
passable for the general public. 1t is
for the benefit Of the users Of the
streets, it is a public matter to the
fullest extent and ought to be paid for
by general taxation as subsequent
charters permit.
We hope there viii be sufficient
number Of the peoples representatives
in the city council to vote as the great
body Of the citizens who elected them
would vote if the question was sub
mitted to popular ballot. This city was
not organized to be controlled by the
voice Of a few capitalists. 1t is for the
whole people. Let the city be lighted
out Of the city taxes, and if there are
not funds to pay for it now make
terms to pay for it when the city reye-
nue. for the present year comes in. That
is the right way ard the right way is
always the best.

PREACHERS as POLITICIANS.

The discourse by DR.. Mabry on Sun
day on The Preacher and Politics.
which was reported in Mondays Her
AID put the matter in a very clear
light and defined the respective duties
Of the minister and the citizen sharply.
Without taking UP or questioning the
speakers views on minor points, The
Herald can emphatically endorse the
leading ideas in the discourse
Some things that are perfectly law
ful are not always eXpedient. Clergy
men are not in their right element
when engaged in partisan contentious
or intrigues. There is no danger OF a
union of church ana state in the
United States. Preachers may de-
nounce crime wherever found, whether
in politics or in other affairs. No one
denies the rights Of citizens to minis
tiers Of religion. But that is different
to the exercise for political effect of the
influence which they have gained by
virtue of their sacerdotaI position
Applying this to the matter which
called forth the resolutions and cores
pondence which have appeared In The
Herald the speaker. for himself alone,
expressed the conviction that the
crime which had been attempted to
thwart the wishes Of voters in this
territory, was not chargeabIe to a
party and should not be alleged
against a party, but the man or men
who attempted it should be denounced
though their identity was unknown.
and the moral influence of ministers
as we'll as other people should be ex-
ercised to bring the guilty to exposure
and punishment.
That is right No one we presume
viii question the right of religious
ministers to do all that the gentleman
claims for them. The Herald has con-
ceded that. 1t was only the ATTEMPT
to apply censure to persons against
whom there was not the slightest proof
of completely with the crime, and the
puerile efforts at pretending that be-
cause no names were given no one
was accused, that The Herald took &C.
casion to oppose.
People who engage in anything
which would tend to invade the
sanctity of the ballot, to defraud the
people of the results of their expressed
Will at the polls. deserve the severest
denunciation And we concede the
right Of the pulpit as well as the press
to hold up the infamy to public repro
baton, and to aid in bringing the
guilty to justice. The preacher loses
no right of a citizen on entering the
pulpit or on assuming the clerical
gown But partisan politics. partisan
plots and partisan destinations do not
harmonize with the sacred functsons
which belong to the religious min
istry. That is the gist Of the whole
matter.

to him with their hearts in their hands
will probably never forget the recep-
ton accorded them; the studied inso-
fence of the man who refused to show
himself, because, forsooth, he was toI
appear before them in lecture the|
same evening.
The writer said at the time that
when Stanley took to the lecture plat
form. he descended from his estate as
a brave and daring pathfinder and
placed himself upon a level with the
fat woman. the living skeleton and the
living calf with two heads and 0nel
tail; that he was no longer an e1-
plorer, but freak; that people did not
| go to hear his lecture, but simply tOI
see the man
Those who have followed the career
of Stanley since he was a rather or
binary newspaper reporter to the pres
ent, and have watched his many va
carries, may not be greatly startled
| when they are told that he has almost
entirely dropped from public notice:
that he is now living in one of the
small suburbs of London; that not
! long since an article from him found
| its way to New York and it actually
went begging for publisher.
| This seems very strange, says d cor
respondent. when one considers that it
| is only three years ago when one of
| the Scribners hastily packed his valise
and went to Cairo, in Egypt, to head
| off other publishers and secure the
| American rights to Stanley'S book.
I He received a fabulous sum for it, sold
the English, Indian, Australian, Can
adam, German and French rights sep
| arately, and made a small fortune out
| of the book. Then he came here and
! lectured and added thousands of dol
lars to his resources. Now those who
are in a position to know question
whether he could draw a paying house
| at moderate prices. Much of this has
undoubtedly been due to his desire to
| be offensive. a fact which seems very
strange to hundreds who once knew
I him. He tried to show that he lacked
cordially. One never knew whether
| he was really Sratifed by an honor
shown him or whether he was bored
by it. It was very bad case of what
Boston wants to call "megalomania,"
and may be yulgarly translated "bis
head" Stanley imagined that he had
not only hewed out himself a niche in
the Temple of Fame, but that he had
ascended the pedestal and that the
season of obeisance and pilgrimage
had begun for him. Now, with much
Iof his work discredited and his name
besmirched with stories Of cannibalism
and other horrors, he begins to find
that even a Stanley in all his panoply
fills but a small space in this big,
busting and ever investigating uni
verse.

PASSING OF STANLEY.

The people of Utah have eyer had
due regard for the achievements of
the men of the world who are promi-

Poet, painter, author, explorer, all
have admirers among US. And there
are few communities better yersed in
the history, past and present, of the
great men Of the world. those who
have earned themselves riches in the
Temple Of Fame.
Being of the west. however, they
have been naturally more interested in
the men of the west than in others
That is one reason why, when Henry
NJ. Stanley visited this city several
years ago, they sought to do him hon

proud they We're of his achievements.
