HooDLUAIIsNI.

1t is regrettable but none the less
true that our city is infested with a
good many hoodlums, and they are al
most entirely a home product, of which
we should not be proud. This hood
lumism takes a good deal the form OF
annoyance to neighbors and running
the streets wild. Another place where
it is manifest is in the way boys hang
onto street cars and become impudent
almost beyond endurance when or
dered to desist by the conductors. If
one Of these young hoodlums, whose
parents cannot be over solicitous for
their spiritual and physical welfare,
else they would not permit such &C
tons, were to be injured by street
car suit would be brought Immediately
for sum that to the parents would
mean fortune, while any amount Of
evidence would be introduced at the
trial to prove that these same hood
lums and perpetual annoyers of pas
sengers and conductors were really
angelic creatures, that they always got
a Sunday school prize for good con-
duct, and they were so good that their
parents were really fearful they would
be called home" being too good and
beautiful for this wicked world. Yet
the chances are quite even that if
these angels in embryo live to years Of
maturity, if not discretion, many of
them will often be found in the city

class of boys come that precious pair
of desperadoes, Coughlin and George,
who having graduated as hoodlums,
became horse thieves, and from horse
murderers.
Only last Saturday night a gang of
hoodlums in the Ninth ward caused

but their Joke" resulted fatally. Just
such things are liable to happen right
along with the Jokes of the hood
lums 1t will not do to excuse these
things by saying that boys will be
boys" They certainly will, and should
be, but they should not be allowed to
be hoodluns. The primary duty of
suppressing hoodlums rests with par
ents. and if they fail the police should
suppress them.

RESERVOIRS.

There is widespread movement in
the territory, particularly in the south
ern counties, looking to the increase of
the water supply through storage of
the surplus
The Typographical conformation of
the territory is happily such that in
many instances it will require but little
labor to convert extensive areas into
safe reservoirs. The people in
those sections of. country in which
q larger water supply would rem
der possible the cultivation of
idle lands or make adequate a sup
ply of water now insufficient to proper
ly irrigate the lands under cultivation,
should move promptly to secure reser-
voir sites and by no means delay until
money-making corporations have seized
the sites and secured the rights to the
water surplus.
Experience teaches that the utmost
care must be exercised in the construc-
ton of dams. The history of the world
furnishes innumerabie instances of aw-
full loss of human life and deplorabIe
loss of property through the bursting
of unsafe reservoirs. In these mount
aims such accidents will inevitably
cause great sorrow. Through ignor-
ance or the desire to exercise economy
there is an ever present danger of plac-
ing dams where nature discourages the
placing of one, of using poor material,
OF neglecting the experience of ages
by the employment of ignorant en-
gineers. All this should be avoided.
We believe that our next legislature
will see the necessity of regulating this
important subject by the appointment
of a competent engineer or commission
with authority to inspect plans and
oversee work in the interest Of the
preservation OF human life and prop

cHIcAGo's MAYOR IN NEW YORK

The Mayor of Chicago is with us. He
is here to improve his mind, to get a
breath of fresh air and to correct false
impressions about Chicago by the pleas
ing quietneSs of his dress and manners.
He does not wear rawhide trousers. He
eats at the public tables of the Holland
House without the slightest sign of en-
barrasSment, and without huttering his
neighbors at table. There are no indica-
lions of weapons about him. And you do
not fancy you are listening to an aeolian
harp in a cyclone when he is conyersing.
His name is George B. Swift. He is
about three sizes smaller than CUR mayor,
Strong. And he wears pretty patent
He has the largest head ever found on the
banks of the Chicago Creek. He has the
largest moustache ever elected to public
office. His chin is small and pointed, rs
if it were petering out in the shadow of
the mouStache. He wears a real gold
watchchain and white shirt, glossy and
SpOtlesS, and a rather friSky summer tie.
The part of his head where thinking is
supposed to be done is as bald as d New
England rock farm after a rain. The
lower part of his head is nicely draped
in grayish-black hair. There is, perhaps,
enough of it to do up in curl papers, but
not enough to braid. He has tremendous
eyebrows, of the size and kind for a judge
to wear when he is sentencing criminals.
He is reform mayor, lust like our

A YOUNG MAN AS JUSTICE JACK
SONS SUCCESSOR.

! Discussing the question Of Justice
Jackson's successor, the New York
Evening Post recalls the fact that it
was the custom during the early years
of the republic to choose young men
for the Supreme Court bench, and that
it was only departed from when Grant
became president. Jay was not forty
four years of age when he was made
chief justice, and the Oldest Of his as
sociates but fifty-seven. James Iredell
was but thirty-eight, Bushrod Wash
ington thirty-six, and Joseph Story
and William Johnson a few months
past thirty-two. No one will say that
these young men were not ornaments
to the court of which they formed a
part, while the great chief justice, John
Marshall, was only forty-fve when ap-
pointed. That no better appointment
was ever made none will dispute
The great advantage of appointing
young men is that they can give their
country longer service. Marshall sat
on she bench for thirty-four years and
Story as long. Had Marshall sat for
few years only we should not have had
those wonderful decisions that have
largely made the constitution what it
is and that are the admiration of the
bench and bar of the United States to-
day.
President Cleveland, as we'll as Gen
eral Harrison, followed the system
inaugurated by Grant, the former
having appointed Lamar at the age Of
sixty-two while the latter appointed the
late Justice Jackson at the age of six
| ty-one.
AS the Post says. there should be a
radical change in this matter. No law
yer should for a moment be thought Of
who is not below sixty years of age
and the nearer forty-fve the better; and
who is not a man of vigorous health
with an expectation of life as regards

property within the state, and all
bounties are tax upon the people in
excess of the needs of the state for
public purposes.
Any bounties that the legislature of
Utah may grant will be paid for by the
people of Utah, and by no one else.
| Where will the great bulk of this
bounty money come from? 1t will come
from the same source that the money
for the support of the schools of the
territory comes from-Salt Lake City
and those places that pay more school
money than they receive. 1t was a
pretty difficult matter to get the late
constitutional convention to allow this
city to conduct its own school system
at its own expense, although the MEM
bers who were so small about the mat
ter knew all the time that this city
was supplying more money for the sup
port of the schools in their own coun-
ty than their own county was. If this
was the feeling on the school question
what will it be when it comes to the
bounty question, where there is
chance for individuals to not only save
directly portion of the taxes? If the
Republicans shall succeed in controlling
the legislature and inaugurate system
of bounties, as they certainly will, 1t
simply means that Salt Lake City and
those other cities and counties that
have paid more into the general school
fund than they have drawn out, will be
looted in the intereSt Of the hOInty
grabbers and treasury plunderers. 1t
is useless to attempt to disguise the
fact, no matter how much it is to be
deprecated, that a large part, of the
people in some of the poorer ce1nties
deem the rich cities of the territory
golden opportunity a system of boun-
ties will give them to indulge this in
stinct!
Isn't there something in all this to
cause the men Of means in the Repub-
lican party whose contributions to the
general tax fund are large to pause
and think? They already feel the in
justice of the general school tax which
makes them pay for schools in counties
of which they scarcely know the name
and location, thereby relieving the peo-
pie of those counties of the necessity
Of taxing themselves for the support
Of their own schools. Is it desirable to
burden themselves still further for the
benefit of these same counties? There
is a danger that such will be the case
if a Republican legislature is elected.

REGISTER, VOTERS.

Every person entitled to do so should
register, for unless each voter is regis
tered, when election time comes around
he cannot vote; the day of grace will
have gone by until another registration
time comes again.
When one thinks of what the elective
franchise is, that to obtain it govern
ments have been overturned and revo-
buttons inaugurated, it is most surpris-
ing that those who have it seem to
value it SO lightly. The exercise Of it
is the source of all power in this coun-
try, the means by which the destinies
of the nation are controlled for one
policy or the other, for that which may
make or that which may mar. To
accomplish all this the voter must reg
lister, and this applies to men and wo-
men.
The election in Utah this fall will be
the most important ever held in the
territory and there should be full
vote polled. If the voting franchise is
worth having it certainly must be
worth all the trouble it may take to
see that all steps necessary to its ex-
ercise are taken. The women now have
the same right in this matter as the
men and they should not only register
but see that their husbands, brothers
and sons do.
In this matter of registration the
various precinct committees should be-
stir themselves to see that voters do
not neglect their duties. Many men
are apathetic in all things. To this
class the precinct committees should
pay special attention. Let no person
who is entitled to register fail to do
so.

FRANCES MISSION AMONG NATIONS

The true mission of France among the
nations is high enough if she would but
see it: she should lead the world in the
arts of peace. We. remember Renan ex-
pressing it once in conversation in those
rooms of his in the College de France.
Strange" he said, chow we French wish
to shine in wars and foreign adventures.
whilst. in truth, we love the ideals of
peace. Our true work is in the advance
ence. If l were asked to tell the differ
ence between Frenchmen and other ma
tions, / should say it consisted chiefly
in tllis-that with us to be impolite and
than other peoples, cherish a human
ideal.' Surely, too, this is what Heine
meant when he spoke Of the French as
the chosen people and of Germany as
Philistia. --From the Saturday Review.
