"a TALE OF TWO CITIES

The Los Angeles Herald is as ardent
railroad between that city and this as
The Herald is. Under the above head
ing it says:
In the matter of closing the gap in
The proposed northeastern railway the
people of Salt Lake are even more
enthusiastic than are the people of this
city. The possibility of the undertake
ing is in that place already counted as
an asset, and no statement of the re-
sources and advantages of Utah is
deemed complete that omits the rail
way link to connect Zion with the me
tropolis of southern California. 1t may
not be known to everybody that a lit
tie road has been in operation for years
with the ambitious title of The Salt
Lake & Los Angeles, connecting the
former city with Saltair Beach. 1t may
never get any nearer to the ocean than
its present terminus, but it admirably
serves as an advertisement for our
beautiful city, keeps the Zionites busy
telling strangers about US, and no doubt
serves to stimulate local interest in
the Importance of securing a Underwater
connection at this point, and thus Sc
curing a comparatively nearby outlet
for their surplus products. When two
great ana progressive cities ike Salt
Lake and Los Angeles become thor
oughly determined to secure rail con-
nection, minor difficulties will rapidly
disappear.
The Zionites are very much inter-
ested in seeing the City of the Angels
prosper and grow and would be more
than delighted to be directly connected
with it by rail, but to be honest, the
ethics of the Zionites have not reached
that stage of altruism where their in
terest in Los Angeles surpasses their
interest in Salt Lake City. They wish
the Angels well, but they wish them
selves better. The Angels being near
the sea, may take a broader view of
things than do the Zionites, but the
latter, dwelling in the valleys of the
mountains, take a more exalted view
But the Angels will always be welcome
in Zion. and when the two cities are

can the jewellers in them more easily

merits and superiority of their respect

ESTHETIC LUNCHES.

President Andrews, of Brown univer-
sity, has been advocating the furnish
ing of esthetic lunches to school chill
dren. The Baltimore Sun makes some
delightful comments on the scheme, so
delightful that not to give our readers
a taste of them would be to deprive
them of a real pleasure.
"Of course. President Andrews ideas
are yet somewhat crude and need to
be worked out and systematized,' says
the Sun. "He held that the palatable
food served in the lunches would be
just what many poor children need
There can be no doubt of that. With
a palatable' free lunch every day,
there will be no need for any law max
ing attendance in the public schools
compulsory. That no point of advan-
tage in favor of free lunches should
be lost sight of, President Andrews i'm
pressed on his audience the benefits to
poor children of good food neatly served
by ladies and gentlemen. Many grown
persons would appreciate the same
benefits and would be glad to have
restaurants established by the authori-
ties where. at the public expense, good
food would be neatly served by ladies
and gentlemen Unfortunately, Presi-
dent Andrews does not explain where
the ladies and gentlemen are to come
from who are to fulfil the role of wait
ers and mattresses at his esthetic feasts.
Neither, if the poor children are to
have ins.illed into them lessons of
table life and etiquette, does he make
it clear what provision the authorities
ought to make to render the lessons
effective. Finger bowls and doylies, we
take for granted. will form part of the

UTAH AT OMAHA.

The Omaha Bee recently had special
correspondent in this city whose mis-
sion was, in part at least, to see what
sort of an exhibit Utah will make at
the Trans Mississippi exposition The
correspondent says that a reproduction
of the Mormon tabernacle will be one
of the novel and attractive features of
Utah's exhibit at the exposition. The
material used in the construction of the
model of this famous building will be
Utah onyx, which varies in color from
pure white TO ali shades of lemon and
orange yellows. The roof of the minia-
ture tabernacle will be followed from
solid block of onyx. The material is
found in lodges and may be obtained
from the quarry in any size desired
singularly free from flaws or imperfec-
tions The forty exterior pillars, which
will support the roof and contribute to
the massive solidity of the building, will
afford ample opportunity for display
ing the mirrorlike surface of the pol
ished onyx, and electric lights on the
interior of the building will reveal the
transparent properties of this beauti-
full material, which has only recently
been discovered within the boundaries
of the new state. The work of the build
ing will be done by Olaf Nilsson of Salt
Lake City. an expert marble cutter,
who made the onyx casket to contain
the Book of Mormon which was re-
Gently presented to King Oscar of
Sweden.
This will certainly be a very unique
exhibit, and could not fail to attract
much attention. There should be full
and complete exhibit of the states
products of all kinds that visitors may
know what the states resources are
and what its possibilities; it should be
as complete as was the exhibit at Chi
cago in '93. The exposition at Omaha
is taking on international proportions,
yet after all it is distinctively west
ern affair and will do more to adver-
tise the far west than anything else.
Any Trans Mississippi state that does
not take advantage of the opportunity
to make a full display will do an injury
to itself and write itself down as slow.
Utah will not be that kind.

THE PROPER COURSE PURSUED.

The police committee of the city
council did a proper thing in making
no report on the appointment of Mr.
Pratt as chief of police. The last city
council passed an ordinance, which was
approved by the mayor, abOishing the
Office of chief Of police. Mr. Pratt
claims the ordinance is invalid because
in conflict with the state law relating
TO the matter. 1t may or it may not
be. but it is a question that is one for
the courts to decide and not to be de-
cided upon the ipse dixit of a clients
attorney If City Attorney Hall shall
advise the council that the ordinance
in question is invalid on the grounds
claimed, Of course the. committee will
ACCEPT his oDinion as final.
If the committee had reported on
Mr. Pratt's nomination, no matter
What the nature of the report, it would
have been an Acknowledgement of the
invalidity of the ordinance Very ma
turally, Mr. Pratt and his friends viii
maintain that the committee should
have reported, but the committee
should have done no such thing until
fully satisfied that the ordinance passed
by the last council is valid or invalid.
The committee has acted in the inter.
estss of the city, and its action is emf
nently proper.

wATTERsoN TO DEMOCRATS.

Whatever Colonel Watterson writes,
in despair or in denunciation, is always
worth reading, perhaps not so much for
the matter as the manner
Last Tuesday the Kentucky general
assembly met, and Colonel Watterson
read it, through his Journal, long
lecture. The article, which was double
loaded, occupied four columns, being in
double-column measure. He holds that
there is a fair chance for a restored
and reunited Democracy to recover in
1900 the lost ground of the last half
dozen years of incalculable laundering
and misadventure. The laundering
began with the third nomination of Mr..
Cleveland in 1892. The misadventure
began with his second administration.
No party could live and prosper with
such an official chief at the head of
affairs. But that is all over now. We
have had our forty days and nights of
travail in the wilderness. Is it not
time, if, indeed, we are yet a partv,
that we reflect upon some common
ground to stand on. some basis of
agreement, which Democrats in the
north and east and Democrats in the
west and south can reconcile with their
political exigencies, and which all
Democrats may square with their con-
science?'
How cordially he hates Mr.. Cleveland.
He broke with his party on the silver
question, but the party more than half
forgives him for this for the fine way
IN which he charges all the party's
mlsfortunes on the Doctor of Prince
ton.
1t is asked if it is not time that
Democrats as a party reflect upon some
common ground to stand on, some
basis of agreement, which Democrats
everywhere can reconcile with their
political exigencies, and which all
Democrats may square with their con-
science. 1t is a question that needs
consideration. Those Democrats who
cannot stand on the Chicago platform
and square their consciences with it,
are comparatively few. In 1896 some of |
them thought they could find refuge ',
and Democracy in the Indianapolis |
movement; but of that movement moth
ing is left but a name and unpleasant |
memory. The movement gave some aid |
to the Mckinley forces, but when the |
Mckinley forces had gotten out of it |
all they could, they had no further use |
for it. Some who were engaged in it |
had thought their efforts would receive |
recognition, and the policy of the Re
publican administration modified in
Difference to their tariff views. Poor,
self-deluded soulsl But the awaken
ing came at last
The thing for the Democrats to do
is to get together and let developments
between now and 1900 settle what the
platform in that year shall be.

drews' ideas. We do not see why he
should stop with the free lunch On
rainy days, why not a free distribu-
ton of car tickets, overshoes and UNI
brellas? The taxpayers will never
grumble at a little thing like that, es-
pecially when the expenditure is for
the benefit of their own children. As
an experienced and prominent educa-
tor. President Andrews must know
that besides free tuition, free books
and free lunches, there is something
else that the children need. All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Amusements should also be provided
by the authorities, and then Presi-
dent Andrews classical ideal will be
realized-'panem ct circenses'-free
bread and free tickets to the circus.
He need have no fear that the children
thus nurtured and cared for by the
public when they grow up will forget
the lesson that has been instilled into
them. or that as men and women, or as
voters, they viii be less exacting in
their demands to be fed and supported
by the government"
These esthetic lunches would have
the same effect on public school chill
dren that Christmas trees have on Sun
day school children. The children would
be esthetic if they were nothing else.

NO FAITH CURE
ABOUT STUARTS DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS.
They Cure Stomach Troubles and In
digestion Anyway, Whether You
Have Faith In Them Or Not

All physicians agree that the element
of faith has a great deal to do in the
cure of disease.
Firm belief and confidence in fam
lily physician or the same confidence
and faith in a patent medicine, have
produced remarkable cures in all ages.
This is especially true in nervous
| troubles and no field offers so prolific
harvest for the quack and charlatan,
as the diseases arising from a weak or
run down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common of all
diseases, indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles, consumption
and loss of flesh, requires something
besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
Will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart, but
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Will do
these things, because they are COM
posed of the elements of digestion, they
contain the juices, acids and peptones
necessary to the digestion and assimi-
lation of all wholesome food
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di
gest food if placed in a jar or bottle in
water heated to SO degrees, and they
will do it much more effectively when
taken into the stomach after meals,
whether you have faith that they will
or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is, from plenty of wholesome food
well digested. 1t is not what we eat,
but what we digest that does US good

a view to eliciting any facts that might be
