Hall Question Not Considered.
Time Occupied with Water &.

#5 subject. 4
The council met in regular session
Friday evening, all the members pres
| ent. i. . h ... pm. =Tt@ VI .>
Minutes of last meeting read and
approved. Several bills allowed. On
motion it was ordered that new walks
be rebuilt or repaired where sidewalk
committee reported necessary. It
was also the sense of the council
that it be recommended to all parties
putting in new side walk, that they
use cement. It was ordered that no.
tice be issued that no water be used
for lawn purposes this year and no
permits granted. Two carloads of
pipe for water has been ordered.
The village lookup question was dis
cussed but not at length or any &C.
tion taken. Mr.. Lane, we'll expert
appeared before the council in refer
ence to the water supply which will
become serious question in tho not
near future, not that the supply is
diminishing but the use is being in
creased in various places, especially
in the railroad service.
The council have been informed as
to the working of the compressed air
plan. Mr.. Lanes plan is to furnish
a sufficient quantity by a we'll of a
proper flow, which he will do, giving
the proper bonds and sureties for the
faithful carrying out of a contract.
The approximate estimate of the air
plan is $500 and Mr.. Lanes 5000
to $1,000. Mr.. Lanes plan is to fur
nishes the water supply for the Oma-
ha road and can give numerous refer.
ences as to ability and former busi-
ness transactions. His plan is to
put down we'll that will furnish the
water and Mr.. Lovell's is to use the
present we'll with more machinery.
1t would seem that the preferable
way would be to get the water with
out the use of so much machinery.
Taking water from the wells now
used is no guarantee that the demand
will be supplied as the method may
destroy the supply, while a we'll af-
fording q large quantity is not certain
to yield the required supply continu-
ously yet the chances are more favor
able.
The council will probably have a
special nesting next week to further
siaerstheplans. -. p

The Opening Of the ssleoas
Made tho Day Interestin

, IN .stt r. 1855
The Window Free Press giyes q
few incidents occasioned BY thaopen-
ing of the saloons in that town, Vhich
are herewith 1epeated in condensed
form. - .s4 sS.=9.
The two saloons opened for business
Saturday, and it was the first time
Intoxicating liquors have been sold
legally, with the sanction of the voters
of Window for about fifteen years
and if those SO called temperancs peo-
pie who voted for license have any
shame about them they must have
felt it on that day. The people who
have insisted that the drug stores
have been selling as much as the sa-
looms must have seen how they were
mistaken in their judgment, for per
son could not but think to SEQ the
crowds flocking into the saloons oil
day that a good many of tho mon had
not been able to obtain a drink in
fifteen years. One man who is not q
temperance crank said that he did
not believe there has been as much
liquor drank in Window in two years
as there was on Saturday afternoon.
Another man whose place of business
is where he has been able to see a
good part of the number of drunks
the past years said he did not be-
lieve there had been as many drunken
men in town in thirteen years as there
were on Saturday.
The two saloons were full of men.
all day, especially in the afternoon, in
one of them four men were engaged
in dishing out the hellish stuff or
perhaps more properly speaking, the
stuff that makes men hellish.
In the evening the drinkers began
to get little more noisy but the two
marshals kept things reasonably
quiet. .-. s.
(. A man from Jackson had an alter
cation with another fellow. A busl-.
ness man was standing in front of his
place rof business and was knocked.
down and injured and has since been.
carrying his arm in a sling. A little
boy stood in trout of neof the saloons
nearly all day with his fathers dinner
pail, the father being inside drinking.
"A man laying over a binder pole
trying TO throw his insides out thr,
bis mouth was an Interesting sight
early iii the evening on One Of The
main Streets. A fell being heaved
out of one of the saloons for wanting
to do the same thing in the saloon
was another sight that was seen.
One of the residents was aroused
by drunken man on his porch look
ing for his hat.
The only redeeming feature we
have heard about the business is that
a couple of local fellows who have
been in the habit of thinking they
could have things their own way were
told in one of the saloons that they
would have to behave themselves if
they stayed in there and as they be-
gan to talk back they were gently
lifted off the floor and sat down out
side. The other good thing was that
they closed at half past nine.
You wifi soon get used to this.

PlOUs RESIGNATION.

II isn't true that every man has his
price" as the cynic5 declare. But many
d man who always considered himself
above temptation has yielded at the
fatal moment because he lacked the
decision Of the custom house official
who kicked an importer out of the
office, not because he was Offering a
bride, but because. as the official ex-
pressed il, 1t was gettin' too close to
my figger."
An Idaho exchange, commenting on
the change Of front conspicuous in an
ex-champion of silve- says that his
sympathies are probably with the cause
Of bimetallism yet" No doubt. But
what boots it if a mans influence and
work runs counter to the dictates Of his
reason and the wishes Of his heart?
Prayers and works should go togeth-
er, although it sometimes happens 9TH
erwise. Israel ZangwiH relates that
when the notorious Lueger. whose plat
form was the extinction of the Jews Of
Vienna, was up for election as burgo~
master, a poor jew took a bride Of a
couple Of forms to vote for him God

meantime I have his money"

PENALTY OF GREATNESS.

There is a penalty attached to great
ness. Otherwise the city counciImen
who engaged in rough and tumble fsti-
cuffs the other evening might have es-
capped the public eve Had it been an
ordinary Robbie and George scrap, no
body would have paid any attention to
1t. But pugilistic encounter between
two members of the same political
party in the Salt Lake City council is
close akin to an inteTnecine fnsurrec-
ton. 1t is like a sat-to between Joseph
Chamberlain and William Mckinley,
which, under the circumstances, would
be the most remarkable. as il is the
most improbable thing in the world
When a man is elected car of Rus
STA, speaker of the house of representa-
tives or a member Of the Salt Lake
City council, he must know that the
argus eye of an admiring public is on
him, and comb his hair accordingly.
Great men cannot move without at
tracing attention. II they milk their
own COWS books are written about it.
If they kiss babies the facts are tele-
graphed to the uttermCst parts of the
earth. If they go fishing the ubiquitous
reporter is with them at the river side.
If they fight the kinetcscope and vita
scope are preserving their poses and
movements for future reference.
The path to glory is beset with
brambles. No man may hope to be great
without paying the penalty.

TWO CIVILIZATIONS.

Repeated failures Of the English to
demonstrate the advantages of racial
superiority to the Beers, induces an
Anglbmaniac to ask through the col
umns of an Angiicized newspaper: rs
civilization a failure?'
There are two kinds Of civilization.
One is sturdy. Dious. persistent pIod-

a retreating forehead. the sort that
stands at the top Of the social pyramid

ritsns and HollandeTs Of New York and
New England almost 200 years to reach
the acute stage Of Anglomanla. but it
cant represent power.

SMOKE THEM OUT.

The substitute currency bin intro
duced into the senate of the United
States by Senator Jones Of Arkansas
viii give some Of the trimmers and
hypocrites like Senator Shoup of Idaho
a chance to show their colors.
And, while Senator Shoup may vote
for the substitute. on an understand
ing with the administration, TO satisfy
his constituents, he win have to turn
another somersault when his party
holds its national convention.
This substitute provides that from
and after the passage of this act the
minis of the United States shall be
open to the coinage Of silver, and there
shall be coined dollars Of the weight
Of 1929 grains Troy of standard silver
$40 fine, as provided by the act Of Jan.
Is, 1887, and upon the same terms and
subject to the limitations and provis-
ions of law regulating the coinage and
legal tender quality of gold.
This measure will not pass, but it will
go far enough to test the silver senti-
ments Of men elected by silver eonstit-
uencies and to give the goldites a
chance to repudiate the money of the
constitution as recognized until the
bankers conspiracy Of 1873.
No doubt Senator ShouD will try to

from which he has received so many
federal favors, and to reach another

which likewise favored him, but evil

DIVORCES AND THE LAW.

ThiTty-five ill-mated but well as
sorted matrimonial firms applied to
Judge Hiles for dissolution Of part
nership or Friday, and tweuty-six of
them proved to his hOnor's entire salts
faction that marriage was a sad mis-
take
Some of them were jncompatibles,
fathers were druEkards, but the most
pitiabIe were cases Of women neglected
or deserted by their husbands and the
fathers of their children There are
people who ought to be restrained by
law from getting married, but this is
probably out of the question. Still, the
statutes can be made to reach the va
grants and drunkards. When it appears
that man win not do his part toward
supporting his wife and children there
ought to be some way to put him to
work Oh a rockpiie while the state pays
his earnings TO his family.
The man who finds family cares a.
burden and who has so little character
that he can desert his children with
out conjunction, who recognizes no
moral duty, discovers a haven Of refuge
in the law itself Here he finds a veri-
ficatiCn of his idea that the marriage
tie amounts to little after all.
What if the court requires him to
Irey alimony? He has only to earn moth
ing to escape paying anything. And here
is where a legal requirement for work
on the public streets or other produc-
tive employment would accomplish
something, even after legal separation,
for the man, for his family and for the
world.
Men who embrace matrimony like a
summer frolic would thus and should
stand face to face with the cold alter
native of supporting a family, divorce
or no divorce.
The marriage relation is entered into
too lightly by far; the obligation is not
appreciated. and one reason is that the
tie is tJO easily severed.
Yet, it may be asked, why should a
court compel a man and woman to live
together when they fight all the time
and when they have no use or respect
for each other?
Perhaps they shouldn't be, much as
it may have been their mutual fault.
But there ought to be some response
bilities so firmly fixed by statute that
only in extraordinary cases could they
be cast aside entirely.
