TIE ICE QUESTION.

! At the opening of each ice season
there is generally a ''wrangle" in the
city council over the question of pure
and impure ice. This ''wrangIe'' is
usually brought on and conducted by
various parties interested in ice. No
one will question for a moment that
the ice sold in the city should be up
to the standard required by the ordi-
nance, but what some cannot under
stand is how the ice from some sec
tons is always so bad, officially, and
from others so good, officially. No
doubt that will be the best ice that
is made from the purest water and is
frozen the hardest Now how is it
that the pure water and the cold
weather are limited to so few putters
up of ice?
Pure food, pure ice and the like are
all excellent things, but there is
great deal of humbug about it. Some
how or other when Utah sheep reach
the Colorado line the health authorities
of that state make some very startling
discoveries to the effect that they are
diseased, though the Utah sheep own
ers are totally unaware Of the existence
Of disease until they are so informed
from Colorado. It is the same with
many American food products that are
sent 10 Germany and France. They
are perfectly healthy When they lsave
the United States, but they become
very deleterious to the health of the
Germans and French so soon as they
arrive in their countries. It is Just
possible that something similar to this
may affect some of the ice sought to
be sold on the Salt Lake market.
One thing is very certain, which is,
that the people of this city pay a very
high price for their ice, and that some
of it is Of q very inferior quality. being
little better than packed snow. ANY
thing that viii lower the price Of ice
and improve the quality of some of il
should be encouraged. It does not fol-
low that poor ice is impure ice. Above
all things let the people have cheaper
ice

greatly affiict the ears CT the infabi-
tanfs. Though it is true that the noises
OF the Salvation Army are, humanely
speaking, particularly dreadful, that is
point that viii bear investigation.
But If the neighbors really do find him
nuisance. Commander Booth-Tucker
may justly be compelled to muffie his
bass drum and mitigate his tambour-
me- The goodness of his intentions
cannot, in the ear OF the law, atone
for the badness of his music.
No doubt it would be a hard matter
to controvert the charge in the in
dietment, but still an Indictment may
follow the law and be a persecution.
Many people regard Salvation Army
methods everywhere as a nuisance,
but that does not constitute them so.
There are plenty of good Protestants
who cannot regard Rome as anything
else than the scarlet woman. while
there are plenty of good Catholics who
cannot help looking upon all Protest
ants as heretics who should be dealt
with by the inquisition. The old is al
ways regarding the new with sus-
picion.
The fling at the manner in which
the Salvation Army Christianizes a
man is unworthy the Times. Its meth
DDS are different from those of other
religious bodies, but there is no deny
ing that it has accomplished a vast
amount Of good. 1t has succeeded
where. others have failed. There are
far greater nuisances in New York
needing suppression than Salvation
Army headquarters.

SCHOOL BOOKS.

1t will not be long before the question
of the adoption of school books for city
and state schools will be brought be-
fore the people. No doubt all houses
that publish school books will have
able representatives on the ground,
many Of them are already here, who
win set forth the merits Of the books
they are pushing in manner that
would charm bird Off a tree Nor is
there any doubt that every book pre-
scented for favor will have some merits
distinct from every other book But
no new book should be adopted unless
its merits are such as to make it very
decidedly an Improvement on the one
now in use in the schools. It is very
probable that some of the books now
in the schools could be changed to
the advantage of the pupils, but the
improvements in text books from one
half decade to another are by no means
SO great as to necessitate any very
extensive change
1t should be borne in mind that if the
agents of firms desiring to introduce
new text books are insistent and as
SA1Nodo III iutlT eILOrIS TO DTinE ABOUT
a change Of text books and all for the
profit there is in it, the agents of the
houses whose books are now used are
working for the same thing. With
both it is the interests of their houses
and not of the taxpayers and the pu-
pills. If members of school boards will
look out for the interests of the tax
payers and pupils with as much zeal
as the book agents look after the in
terests of those whom they represent.
there will be no complaint froG. the
taxpayers.
There is no great difference in text
books, all of them as a rule being
good, though of course some are SUI
perior to others. The teacher is the
thing and not the text book. The best
text book becomes but a poor thing in
the hands of an inferior teacher, While
even very ordinary text book be-
comes a mighty engine in the hands of !
a superior teacher. Text books are
something; teachers are everything.

OUR LADY OF THE BEAUx

A maiden spoke to a woman
IN no uncertain tone;
Daughter am | in my mothers house,
But I've got a choice OF my own.
You've singled out fellow
With gold aid = Roman nose.
But I'm going to send him kiting,
Said our lady of the beaux.
Neither with threats nor weecing
Can you hope 10 have your way:
Augustus and I have fixed things I'D,
and there's nothing more to say;
Not for your wild clamor,
Nor fathers threat OF blows
Bow the knee TO Baal.
Said our lady of the beaux-
My speech is clear, | fancy;
l wouldn't marry that thing
Any more than Ia think of wedding
With wiid-eyed cannibal kingl
He's got dead loads of money,
AS everybody knows,
But / have chosen another,
Said our lady of the beaux.
1 love my sweet Augustus
With his seven hundred a year,
And he has browSed on my ruby lips,
And | have nibbled his ear;
This IS my final answer,
And what / am murmuring goes,
don't care q cent for money,
Said our lady of the beaux-
Garry the word to my sisters.
Some one of them, mayhap.
VIII let you do her choosing.
And marry this wealthy chap:
They are meek and submissive,
But do not tread on my toes.
II you don't want TO raise a rumpus,
Said our lady of the beaux.
The maid that spake to her mother
IN such an uncertain tone
EloDed with her sweet Augustus,
And now has a girl OF her own,
And she's had a divorce from Augustus
Where he IS. heaven knows
And she lives by washing and scrubbing-
Does our lady of the beaux.

THE PROPOSED TEA DUTY.

Much is being said about the pro-
posed duty on tea. That it will yield
a considerable revenue is admitted but
it is said it Will increase the price of
a necessary article TO millions of peo-
rle. This is true. 1t cannot fail to
raise the price at least the amount of
! the proposed duty, 10 cents a pound.
And this is urged as an objection to
the tax. There is no way of explaining
away the tax, not even by saying that
the foreigner pays it. Yet it is just as
easy to explain away a tax on tea as
on any other article. The people have
had their idea of taxation so befuddled
by having them mixed up with theories
of high tariff or low tariff, with theo-.
ries OF protection direct or protection
incidental, that a majority OF them
have come to think that it is possible
to devise a system of taxation whereby
some one else will pay their taxes and
they will be relieved of them. Such a
system would be a very fine thing and
prove a great relief to grooming mil
lions. but it is impossible. Whatever
form a tax may take it is always a
burden.
1t is urged in defense OF the pro-
posed tax on tea, which needs no de-
Tense, that it will result in the impor-
tation of a better class of teas and
will therefore be a decided gain for
the people 1t may or it may not do
that, but whether it does or not is q |
wholly irrelevant matter so far as the /
main question is concerned, which for
the government is one of revenue. The !
talk about the tax insuring the i'm /
portation of a better quality of teas is
nothing but the projecting of the old |
idea that the government should use its /
taxing power to protect" the people /
in their occupations and industries
against foreign competition into mat
ter that does not allow of it. 1t is an
attempt to excuse the imposition of
taxes for supplying the government
with revenue. The revenue must be
had, and to raise it taxes must be I'M
posed. Whence, then, arises the neces-
sity of offering excuses in extenuation
of levying them? The existence of gov
eminent is the excuse and justifcati ton
for all taxation; it needs no other.

SALVATION ARMY PEOPLE IN
DICTED.

Salvation Army leaders in New York
have been indicted for keeping a dis
orderly house, their headquarters being
so termed. The New York Times says
the specification of the Indictment is
hard to controvert, and comments in
part as follows:
We all know the theory upon which
the Salvation Army proceeds. 1t is
that in order 10 Christianize man il
is not necessary to civilize him, and
that a vulgar and noisy ruffian may be
converted" without ceasing to take
delight in vulgarity and noise. We need
not go into that in order to say that
the people whom his noise disturbs
have the same right to be protected
against it after his conversion that
they had before. The only question is
whether they really are disturbed. We
should not have supposed that the
neighborhood of Fourteenth street and
Sixth avenue was so secluded and quiet
that the noises of a secular dance
house or riotous prayer meeting would

''The New York Journal aims to

graves when that edition of the Jour

DID FITZsIMMONS FOUL COZ.

| The great contest that took place at
Carson two months ago is to be fought
over and fought with fury that was
wanting On ST. Patrick's day. The prin-
cipa1s are not to meet in the ring. but
they are to speak through the columns
OF the daily press, while the supporters
of either will attune their voices and
aid in swelling the chorus. 1t will be
a grand thing, in its way.
And why is the great fight to he
fought over? Because it is said that
the verascope shows that Fitzsimrnons
hit CoTbett a foul blow after ne had
landed that blow on Jim's solar plexus
which brought the look of agony to
his face. Bob swears that il is all a
lie. and to prove that it is a lie offers
to bet $1,000 or $4,000 that the vera
scope Will not show what it is said il
will. But While he says this he is philo-
sophfcal, for he says If the verascope
shows that Corbett was hit foul blow.
everybody will want to see it, and that

The Omaha Bee, a, staunch supporter
of the administration, speaking of the
presidents Cuban policy, says:
| There need be no apprehension that
/ President Mckinley will adopt a course
in regard to Cuba that will depart from
the policy that was declared and main
tanned by the administration of Presi-
! dent Grant and has since been oh
served. The present administration
could have no safer guide in this mat
ter than the position taken by our gov
eminent respecting the last Cuban in
surrection, when the pressure upon it
to accord belligerent rights and to
recognize Cuban independence was as
strong and persistent as it has been
during the present revolt. The condi-
tons then were in all essential respects
similar to what they are now. The Gu
bans had control of portions of the
island, they professed to have a gov
eminent, the Spanish authority was
exercised with great severity and there
was the same sort of experience as to
the devastation of the island and the
suffering of the people. Yet President
Grant could find in this situation moth
ing to justify him in taking any other
position than that of absolute non-in-
terierence, observing the strictest re-
gard for our obligation of neutrality
We confidently believe that President
Mckinley will be found in the same at
titude. It is reported that he is en-
deavoring to obtain all possible infor-
nation in regard TO the situation in
Cuba and that he is contemplating
sending a message to congress on the
subject. 1t is manifestly his duty TO
inform himself fully respecting the
state OF affairs there, but we venture to
say that whoever assumes that he is
doing this with a view to possible ag-
gressive action will be disappointed.
There is not the least reason to believe
that the president thinks the Cubans
entitled TO belligerent rights, or that he
has any other purpose IN regard to the
conflict there than to keep the United
States free from any complication in
connection with il. That he svmpa-
thizes with the Cuban cause, as Presi-
dent Grant did. there can he no doubt,
but in his official capacity he must /
view the question from the standpoint
of law and international obligations |
and it is safe to say that he will do so.
What the president will do time alone !
can TELL but it will hardly be anything /
nasty or rash. AT present he is far /
more interested in tariff than anything
else
