feel that they could throw off all disguise,

THE CONVENTION.

To the Editor Salt Lake Herald:
For the first time since the constitution
al convention assembled in this city, I
visited the hall this morning, and was
somewhat amused, If not instructed, by
the debates on the University question.
1t occurs to me to say, that on the SUBJ
ject discussed, as well as some other
questions of public concern, it might be
we'll for the convention to abstain from
interfering with the legitimate province
of the legislature of the future state, SO
far as to fix by inserting in the conStitu-
ton certain things which might not
prove TO be to the interest of the people
a large, and that the above is one of
them.
Certainly this convention ought not to
undertake too much, but should leave
something for the people to accomplish
supposed that a person like myself who
has not had the advantages of a collegi-
ate education, would be able to suggest a
proper course to pursue regarding the
union or non-union Of the two education
al institutions now in existence in Utah,
nor do l claim such ability, and yet l
have some ideas of my own on the sub
ject.
l think the university ought to remain
in Salt Lake city, and the Agricultural
college should remain at Logan. put I
also think the whole subject should be
dropped by the convention and postponed
indefinitely.
I wish 10 make a suggestion to those
who seem to believe that by uniting the
two institutions at Salt Lake city and &C
cepting the offer by the government of
part of the Fort Douglas reservation, the
block on which the University buildings
are located might be sold for large
sum and the proceeds used in the
improvement of the Fort grant-the sug-
gestion is this. that possibly there is no
power granted to anyone, nor to any cor
poration, to sell that block. 1t was ded-
icated TO the public; ii did not belong to
the corporation of Salt Lake city; that
corporation, in pretending to make an alb
solute or conditional sale of it, tran
seconded its authority.
1t may be that so long as the block is
used as at present there will not be any
effort made to restore the block. to the
public for a park as was the original de-
sign: but 1 should not be surprised if
legal proceedings should be instituted TO
prevent sale of the block should an at
tempt be made to sell it.
do not give this opinion as a lawyer.
for I have not professed to be such for
more than thirty years, and l merely
make the suggestion that the question
may be duly considered before definite ac-
ton shall be taken. H. D. JOHNSON.

The special committee appointed by
the Local Board of Fire Underwri-
ters for the purpose of working

stitution of the clause proposed by

than municipal, which provides that
all insurance companies doing bust
ness in the state of Utah shall each
deposit with the secretary of state.
a meeting yesterday morning and
another in the afternoon at the Office
OF the local branch of the Board OF
Fire Underwriters of the Pacific. Its
members also met with the constitu-
tional committee which proposed the
measure, and today, still another ses-
sion will be held. At this last named
meeting, the committee will present
a statement of the condition which eX-
lists here in this territory relative to
insurance and endeavor to make
plain to the constitution makers the
terrible injustice which would be
worked upon the insurance compan-
les doing business here in this terri
tory by the enforcement of the clause
1t would without doubt result in the
retirement of the companies from
Utah and the property owners would
therefore be forced to either carry the
insurance themselves or go to the far
east or west for their policies, thereby
entailing great costs and not a little
risk.
According to figures in the posses
sion Of the committee, the total pre-
miums received by the insurance COM
panies from this territory during the
year 1894 was not more than 5000,
while those same companies paid in
losses $4,000 and sufficient sum
more in commissions ana expenses to
make the years business show con-
siderable loss to the companies. 1t is
hardy likely, therefore, that any of
them will agree ito the tying up of
such an amount of their securities
without interest. 1t is a serious ques-
ton and one which will be presented
to the members of the convention in
all Of its seriousness.

Weak Nerve

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues Of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
