FOR CLEAN STREETS

The local press is united in urging that
by hand. The Times expresses the opn-
ion that our streets "can BE- kept in a
presentable condition for the same
money We spend for having them kept
be a third more, the investment will be
good one" The Express says:
A trial of the plan offered by the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation should be made, and if it should
prove inapplicable to the city's needs
another should be sought for. The
present state of things is distressing
and patience is no virtue where reme-
dies will cure.
The city authorities should lose no time
in making a trial of the hand-sweeping
system. The present plan is not satis-
factory, and it is not likely to become
so. The business men are entitled to a
respectful consideration of their wishes,
while the rights and interests Of the
general public may not be denied nor
ignored.
1t is indisputable that great injury is
done to stocks of goods by dust and
filth from unclean streets, and the same
constitutes a grave menace to the pub
lie health. 1t is a matter of record that
throat diseases have been greatly dimin-
shed in New York city since the new re-
pin-e 11nder which the streets have ha en
kept clean.
The city of Los Angeles pays $50, 900
a year for street cleaning and is entitled

In his st. Louis speech Mr.. Bryan sal;
he found in a pamphlet written by
New York banker the assertion that tn
prosperity of farmers and laborers de
pends upon the prosperity Of the busi
ness world. Whereupon the New Yorl
World remarks:
Therefore all New York bankers be-
lieve this sort of stuff. Therefore they
are the enemies of the "toiling masses"
Mr.. Bryan did not utter these conclu-
sions. lie left them to be supplied by
his hearers. OF course Mr.. Bryan knows
very we'll that no man in his sober
Senses not even a New York banker,
ever believed or seriously advanced the
proposition that the merchant is not

sons. Suppose Mr.. Bryan should name

his church membership for one day and

his resignation and since that time he
has been an exemplary church member.
He will not have to fall from grace in

The derricks OF the abandoned Oil wells
ought to be pulled down. The oil tanks
used to supply engines ought to be sunk
into the ground. The city council ought
to see that these rules are enforced. Ele-
waited supply tanks greatly increase the
danger from fire, which is the more 10
be feared because the oil district is
thickly settled. The wells having smut
down throughout the entire district Tor
a period of thirty days, the vacation
could not be spent to better advantage
than in carrying out these suggestions.

THE sPRAGUE SYSTEM.
Its Workings Being Exhibited on an
Experimental Track.

Schenectady, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE Gener-
al Electric company officials are show
ing the workings of the Sprague multiple
unit system of traction to Isaac D. Bar
ton, general mSN ager, and G. 3. Cornell,
chief engineer OF the Brooklyn Elevated
railway. The General Electric company
has an experimental track for the third
track system and six cars belonging TO
the South Side road of Chicago have been
equipped with the necessary apparatus
and are used for the tests.
The cars are all equipped with the nav
Sprague system of control, by which any
car is operated from either end bW lever
or push button with automatic return,
Sprague elevator. BY it's application a
number of cars, without regard to Sc
quence or heading, may be coupled. and
when so coupled. instantly controlled
from either selected end of either car. The
cars are individual in all details. The
object is TO control them so that they can
connected. operated from either end of
any car in the train in unit Controlling
mechanism IS carried on five cars, en-
closed underneath the seat inside the car.
In one car it occupies the unique position
of a space inside the canopy over the plat
form, where it can be reached by an In
spector without entering the car.
Underneath each car is a small cable
terminating in a flexible end with a pc
culiar i1terlocking coupling. which, no
matter what the heading of the cars may
be, so connects the controlling circuits
that the direction at movement of the
controller on the platform always pro-
duceS the same movement of the car with
regard to the track. There is. therefore
no such thing as a head or tail of the
car.
When the Brooklyn road people had
watched the workings of the mechanism.
HE train was tested on accelerations. It
tsS1es a Manhattan Il" engine % sec
onGs to get going at rate of II miles
an hour. The test train got uo speed
of 2S miles an hour in ten seconds; IS
miles in 10 seconds. and 1872 miles in 20
seconds. This beats all previous records
in this direction.

PROVO DEMOCRATS SOLID.
Cannot Be Caught By the Non-Par-
tisan Bait.

Provo, Aug. 14.-Nine out of the ten
Democrats who were consulted today
touching the non-partisan bug that has
been put TO work throughout the state.
have come to the conclusion that it
will be best to put up their own ticket
Judge Miner stated that on principle
he had always favored a ticket made
I'D of the best citizens regardless of
their position on national political ques-
tions, in both school and municipal
elections, but in the present instance
he believes it will subserve the inter-
ests of the Democratic party, and also
the interests of the people generally, TO
continue the fight on party principles.
There is a certain goldbug Republic
an element who are very solicitous of
destroying party lines for the present,
taking their Democratic brethren by
the hands and agreeing to some ar
rangement to divide up the municipal
offices. under the preteXt that il is all
for the advancement of the interests
of our delightful CITY,. They approach
now with sweet words and velvety
touch, but Democracy has had too
much experience to acquiesce in their
suggestions. g
1t was not long ago when Provo was
a Republican town. At that time ii
would have been regarded as the height
of presumption for the Democrats to
have advanced the idea of a citizens
ticket. With Provo Overwhelmingly
Democratic. it would be a. strange con-
dition if the party had not sufficient
good men to supply her with a mayor,
a few councilmen and the few other
offices which will become vacant. Not
only this, but the party is entitled to

to be a reasonable probability that work
viii be commenced within 60 days upon
six lines of railway in Colorado, as fol-

Total mileage. 100.
The Gulf extension, the road to Ward
and the Farmers line are certainties; the
two projected lines to Cripple Creek rea-
sonable probabilities, and the Twin Lakes
enterprise possibility. In the event all
