long talk with the major. He was
trying to sell the Utah bonds in the
east and is going home to tell his free
silver neighbors that there will be no
market Cor their securities until the
people have declared in favor of honest
money at the polls. Mr.. Whitmore
says the free silver idea is strong in
Utah, but he thinks that with vigor-

great change in public sentiment
Ex-Secretary Foster spent several
hours with Major Mckinley to-day.

of the speaking campaign should be
borne by General Harrison, Senator

TWO BREACHES OF THE PEACE.
Women Fight Over Beer-Ross' Hand
Cut.


Mary Shea of this city and Joseph
inc Bennett fought over schooner of
beer yesterday afternoon and spent
the night in the lookup, charged with
breach of the peace. The row began in
Monahan's saloon on State street and
ended in the street. Patrolman Coogan
reached the scene of the fight after
pushing his way through about 200 peo-
pie, but in time to prevent their being
knocked out.
There was stabbing affray early
last evening when Dominic Ross of II
Washington street was cut in the palm
of his right hand. Three of Ross as
sociates were with him at the time that
it was DONE and it may come out in the

DEsTR UoTIYE PEST.
The Army Worm in Cape Cod Cranberry
fsOrS.

IoOES.
Sandwich, Mass, July 13.--The army
worm, which few days ago was found
to be ravaging the cranberry bogs in
the vicinity Of East Falmouth, has
made it's appearance on few bogs in
the cranberry growing district in this
town and this heretofore unknown
agent of destruction will, it is predict
ed, cause the cranberry growers great
loss
Appearing at this season of the year,
when nearly all the bogs are in full
bloom, the usual way of exterminating
such pests cannot be resorted to, and
unless the worms are checked at once
the entire destruction of the bogs on
which they appear is certain. The del
icate upright branches of the cranberry
vine are the parts which the army
worm attacks, and they are cut off
close to the top, the bogs on which the
worms have appeared closely resemb-
ling recently moved lawn. So far as
known the worms have not begun their
ravaging upon garden crops or any
other kind of vegetation.

EXPLOSION IN CUBA.
Train Wrecked and Many Persons Killed

Havana, July 13.--At 8 o'clock this
morning an explosion occurred on the
railway between Cidra and Sabanilla in
the province of Matanzas. A passen-
ger train that was passing at the time
was badly damaged, and it is believed
many persons were killed. A train,
with physicians on board, has been dis
patched to attend the wounded, and
take them to the hospitals. Details of
the affair are hard to obtain, as the
government is seeking to minimize the
results
A letter from Santa Clara says that
Gomez, the rebel commander-in- chief,

will fail below what expenditures will
prove to be. 1t is as natural for a
legislature to underestimate expendi-
lures and overestimate revenue as it
is for a prospector to pick out the best
samples Of ore for assaying; and all
unconsciously and honestly.
AS we have said, the matter of
revenue is the most important matter
before the legislature. Bills for rais-
ing it should be introduced early that
they may be given full and careful
consideration. To do this requires
time. If time for such consideration
is not given some i'll considered and
incomplete measure may become law
whose defects will first be discovered in
a suit by or against the state. The
result of such a suit might mean the
loss of necessary revenue with it's con-
sequent temporary embarrassment of
the state
We do not anticipate that any
revenue bill that would bring about
such a condition of things will be en-
acted into law, but to make certain
that it will not be it should be intro
duced early and given full and
thorough study before being put upon
its passaee.

Of directors. is a guarantee that the
noble struggle which has been made
by the chamber Of commerce in the
past for the business and commercial
advancement of Salt Lake City is to
continue. The tribute paid by the sec
rotary of the institution in his annual
report to the retiring board Of direc-
tors is well merited. He says:
TOO much cannot be said in COM
mendation of the faitfulness and dill
gence of the outgoing members of the
board Of directors in discharging their
official duties. These gentlemen have
attended weekly meetings throughout
the greater portion of the year, and
have given their time uncomplainingly
to the business Of the chamber. They
have extended invitations to industrial
and fraternal associations to hold their
conventions in this city; they have
given careful consideration to every
communication of Importance; they
have left their Offices during business
hours and solicited public support; and
throughout the whole term of their
service have unselfishly and assiduous-
~ devoted themselves to the work of
the chamber and the promotion through
it's influence of the public good"

above is written, are Messrs. L. H.

man. It is a neat recognition of unset
fish devotion to the general good which
ought to be gratifying to those gentle
men, and an inspiration to the incom-
ing board to be equally diligent and
self-sacrif1cing. That it will be so, we
have no doubt. Moreover, it should re-
suit in arousing a general interest on
the part of our business men to come
to the aid Of this business and COM
mercial institution. The words of
praise spoken by the secretary bear
record to the fact that a few public

earnestly to promote the material pros
perity of the city and state. but why
are the rest idle? While some are
self-sacrifcing and philosophical can
the rest stand back and reap the bene-
fits Of their labor, yet give them no
assistance. That is not the high sense
of honor we had hoped for in Salt
Lakes business and commercial
classes. In so good work all ought
to be ambitious Of doing something.

THE STATE REVENUE.

The question of revenue for the state
is the most important one with which
the legislature has to deal. The transit
ton from a territory whose chief ex-
penses have been paid by the govern
ment to statehood means more to the
people in the way of added taxes and
expense than they are apt to think at
first, for they only have the expenses
Of the past on which to base calcula-
tons as to what they will be in the
future. The experience of the state

PAY OF WOMEN TEACHERS.

The legislature has passed a bill
which provides that where females are
employed as teachers in the public
schools of the state they shall receive
the same compensation that is allowed
to male teachers for like services, when
holding the same grade certificates.
This is as it should be- Nothing but
the tyranny of bad custom has made
it anything else. It is the services that
are paid for and nothing more There
is neither reason nor right in dis
eliminating against women teachers
when they do the same work, and as
well. as men. One reason for this dis
elimination in the past has been that
so few avocations have been open to
women that those which have been
opened have been crowded with them.
Particularly has this been SO in the
teaching profession, and while compe-
tition has had something to do with
the small salaries paid them still the
fact that they were debarred from
most pursuits In which they might
have earned a living has had more to
do with it. No doubt it will be a long
time before women will be placed on
an equality with men in the matter
Of pay in all pursuits where they do
the same work, but it will come, while
already there are some in which no
distinction as to pay is made on ae-
count of sex. Utah has been just to
the women in the matter of suffrage.
Let her be just to them in all things.

The Late-to-pinner Fiend

The presidents vigor of character has
enabled him to set an unusual but val
liable precedent in domain where de-
cisions from him would be likely to be of
extraordinary service, if they could al
ways be had. The turning away of the
cause he came fifteen minutes late ought
to mark an epoch in dinner-giving in
America. There can be no sympathy for
Mr.. Conrad. no matter how good or busy
a solicitor-general he may be. In fact,
the higher the rank of the offender the
better the example. Scarcely without ex-
ception the people who are late for din
ner are indulging themselves in what
thew consider fashionable vice, and are
rather proud of the indulgence and the
fashion of it. AS a matter of fact, their
manners and their conceit are on a par.

VEST ON GOVERNMENT FLOWERS


Senator Vest evidently does not be-
lieve in furnishing costly flowers from
the government green houses for the
receptions at the white house He
grew eloquent in the senate Wednes-
day on the subject and even pathetic
He said he would rather put one
flower in the sick room of a noble
working girl or matron, than to have
it said 1 had voted a hundred and
odd thousand dollars for the flowers
and exotics to go to the receptions and
banquets of the officials of this gov
eminent, where the chandelier flashes
its light across the red wine and the
air is fragrant with perfume like the
spicy breeze of Araby the Blessed"
Those are very noble sentiments, ex-
pressed in beautiful language, but they
smack Just a little of demagogism,
especially the nonsense about the red
wine. 1t may be that the senator
thinks it is all wrong to look upon the
wine when it is red but all right when
it is white
But why should not flowers from gov
eminent hot houses be used to adorn
the white house when the president
gives reception? 1t is a very proper
use to which to put them. These re-
ceptions are public functions, and there
is not an American in all the land but
would hang his head in shame If all
the proprieties of social life were not
observed at them. There is a sinpli-
city that is naught but vul-
garity and boorishness. Receptions at
the white house without flowers and
the like would be this sort Of sim
plicity- No one cares for Vests on
slought upon Secretary Morton, for
that self sufficient individual got no
more than he deserved, but the sena-
tors remarks about flowers at white
house receptions were unworthy Of
