New York's Canal Scandal.

1.-TWO or three years age the people
of the state of New York voted
to spend 100000 in canal inn
proVements. IT cost SG000,00 To build
the Erie canal originally. That was
seventy years ago. With the $9,o00,0o0
il was proposed TO deepen the canal two
feet and enlarge the locks. The work
has hardly been begun. But the state
engineer announces that the 100000
has dwindled TO IA point which makes
81 200, 900 more necessary to complete
the job The people of New York arc
demanding To know whether the money
has been squandered or stolen, whether
the increased cost is because of incom-
potency or corruption, or both. In adj

Governor Blacks administration and

~HE opposition to Senator Hanna
got decidedly the better of 1t in
the first round at Columbus
yesterday. and it has only TO keep its
strength intact to win. So far Hanna
has been completely outgeneraied. lie
must admit that Mr.. Kurtz is no
.'baby'' in politics. In fact, if Mr..
Kurtz can keep his end up, Senator
PIatt will be able to repay Senator
Hanna's famous compliment with COM
pound interest. The defeat that Hanna
sustained yesterday is an humiliating
but not necessarily a crushing one, for
Hanna is rendered desperate and will
move as much of heaven as he can
control and at least all that portion of
the earth known as Ohio to retrieve the
disaster and encompass his return TO
Washington. Columbus has suddenly
become the center of national interest
and will remain such for the next
eight days. Mr.. Kurtz will accept the

playing such unexpectedly good ball.

IT IWAYS ranking as one of the

kthe Salt Lake Tribune has issued
New Years edition which in point OF
size. character and comprehensiveness
of scope is magnificent. IT covers
Utah, her industries and resources, with
Il thoroughness and effectiveness that
could not possibly be improved upon
within journalistic limits. Without
affecting sectionalism, the Tribune is
western To the core It knows the great
West and it's people. and it let's no
opportunity slip to defend them in mas

western journalism, and more than
that. it is d model of what journalism
should be the world over, fearless, Wig
orous. aiming To lead rather than to
reflect opinion, printing the news and
fiercely assailing what it believes TO be
wrong, but at all times keeping within
the limits of decency and decorum. The
state of Utah has reasons To be proud
of such a newspaper, particularly Of
its splendid issue of last Saturday.

After the Pension Agents.

~NE of the cleverest pieces of work
that Bill Nye ever did was
satire on the pension attorneys
'at Washington. That was way back in
Nye's Laramie Boomerang days. The
pension attorney has always been re-
garded as an evil. but most people
looked upon him as "A necessary evil.
The old soldier couldn't see how his
application would receive proper treat
ment unless he employed somebody at
washington to press it for him. He was
taught to believe this and he did believe

EVANGELIST GALES WEEK,
His DiscOurses at the First Presby-
terrain Church.

His DiscOurses at the First Presby-
terrain Church.
Both the morning and evening services
at the First Presbyterian Church yester-
day were conducted by Evangelist Weston
R. Gales, who is to hold a series of reviv-
al meetings at that church during the
present week.
PREDATORY TO the revival work to be done,
Mr.. Gales outlined the general duties of
Christians at the morning service and
spoke of how aid could be given sinners to
repent. His strong point is not in forcible
delivery so much as in the earnestness
with which he talks and which impresses
his hearers. This strong hold will doubt
less prove efficacious in the work under
taken because of the fact that an earnest
speaker and one who has the confidence of
his hearers, as does Mr.. Gales, cannot fail
to accomplish much in the way of stirring
all to realization of their spiritual well
fare.
The evening sermon was from the text
we viii not have this man to reign over
us, and contained many pointed and con-
Vincing arguments. The object of the
speaker was to hold up pictures of right
TO his listeners and apply them to every
day life. First he told of a contented fam
lily, who resolved TO save their earnings
and invest in a home when able In
graphic description Mr.. Gales told how
this was done by looping off all unneces-
sary expenditures. The wife was present
ly apprised by the husband that enough
was saved to buy a lot and this they did
taking the usual title deed. The saving
continued until the husband next inform
ed his Wife enough was saved TO build a
house on the lot With resolutions still
strong, they started the work of building
and finally got he home for which thew
lad for years been working and toiing.
But when this home was ready for oc-
cupancy. the illustration was further
given, the young couple was confronted
at the threshold of their new home BY a
big, burly fellow, who denied them adj
mission, and said there was no room for
them The climax was contrasted with
the man whose heart and soul belonged to
God, but who stood in the attitude of this
burly fellow at the young mans house.
and denied Gods right to control ana care
for him.
Other Illustrations were given and prac-
teal thoughts deduced. The closest of
attention was given the speaker through
out, and the meeting received sufficient
announcement to indicate much good
will be accomplished by Mr.. Gales In the
meetings he proposes to conduct during
the week. The invitations have been sent
to many homes, all of which, it is expect
ed, will be represented. There viii be
three meetings each day, in the forenoon,
afternoon and evening.

1 wish to ask some questions, and among
them is the reason why we should praise
the Lord. Nothing should be done, even
in religion, without good reason, and my
reason for praising God is because it is
que Him. Not only is God great, but that
greatness is excellent and beyond power
of description. 1t was He who created all
beings, upholds and directs all things, and
who can play with the world as a child
with its toys. He causes the clouds to
gather, the rain to fall and the grass to
gently clothe the mountain side. We are
told the heavenly hosts praise Him be-
cause of His holiness, and while we can
not appreciate holiness as do the angels,
we feel that only a holy God is worthy of
our praise. In all our sorrow and weak
ness He loves us, and it is for this we
should give eternal praise. Praise gives
us the noblest thoughts, out of which
grow the purest and most sublime lives.
1t breathes the freshest and purest con-
ISOLATION, which is not to be found else
where, because He is the God of all grace,
Father of all mercies and Giver of all con-
ISOLATION and peace"
The manner of praising was then taken
up in detail and discussed from every
point of view. He said praise was by
thought by word by deed, by eating and
by drinking, for all things should be done
to the glory of God. This praise should be
reverent, because of the greatness of His
being grateful, because of the greatness
of His love; retrospectively, because of
the greatness of His gifts, and prospec-
lively, because of His promises.
