KEEP Ar IN.

The determination OF the executive
department OF this city TO do some
thing practical towards the suppress
sion Of vice in It's most offensive forms,
is creditable and to be applauded by
the friends Of law and order. The
closing OF the front doors Of saloons
on Sunday should be continued. SO far
as that movement has gone it IS In the
right direction 1t shows some desire
to respect the law and the wishes Of
respectable citizens The prosecution
Of those Migrants who live on the pro-
fits of vice Is to be commended And
so Is the effort to drive out Of town
those denizens OF low resorts where
debauohery In it's vilest forms is prac-
tlscd TO the disgrace Of the city.
II is not 10 be expected, In a mixed
and cosmopolitan population like thf<
OF Salt Lake. that the laws and ordi-
nances for the promotion OF morality
and social purity can be perfectly en-
forced. The Deseret News has not con-
tended that any legislation can be
completely carried out, SO that there
will be no crime and no disorder II
has been the apparent complete laxity
and indifference to some OF the regu-
latlons In this municipality, that we
have denounced. When there is an eve
dent disposition to enforce them In a
rational and determined manner, the
"News' and the people whom II repre-
sents will be as ready to applaud, as
TO condemn when these rules are en-
tlrely ignored.
We are in hopes that both In city and
county, the laws viii be reasonably
enforced, and the fragrant evils that
are increasing therein will be sup
pressed as far as possible. II is ex-
pected that the officers charged with
the execution of the law will do their
duty, without regard to its effects upon
them, personally or politically, one way
or another. The Mormon adage do
what is right; let the consequence fol-
low" will prove a good motto for every
public official.

Beet sugar making Is certain to be-
come one Of the foremost industries Of
the United States. It's success has be-
| come established II is no longer an
experiment The sugar produced from
beets in the factories built for the pur-
pose Is OF the best quality and sells as
readily In this and other markets as
cane sugar The manufacturing suc-
cess Is equalled II not surpassed by the
| financial achievement that marks the
| progress Of the industry. II has been
astonishing and bids fair to make much
greater strides. Sugar stocks are in
active demand, and the profits that
have accrued indicate the increased
values that VIII certainly be reached.
Every now and then there are little
furrles In the sugar stock market
They come by blasts blown from the
nostrlls Of the bears" They need
not receive any great consideration. So
far the home supply has been but
tenth Of the home consumption Sugar
factories may be multiplied all over
the land, where beets can be raised or
TO which they can be cheaply shipped,
and the demand will not be met for
very many years. TO say nothing Of
the time when this country will export
instead Of importing the necessary
article.
Utah stands IN the front rank of the
possibilities Of a reproducing state.
The success Of the industry here has
been steady and admirable. There will
be more plants erected as capital comes
forward for the purpose, and the bene-
fts that will be derived win be great,
both to the agricuturist and the manu-
facturer, while the Investor win gain
better dividends than can be had from
almost any other practical enterprise.
Sugar-making win be one Of the great
staple interests of the United States.
Fortunes will be made out Of II, and
spectators viii figure on II as one OF
the safest and best stocks upon the
market Nothing that can be done or
threatened will have any permanent
effect to lnjure or depress II. The pos
sbilites Of the industry are wonderful,
the probabilities 80 great as to be
marvellous
The consumption Of sugar In this
country is OF such magnitude, that II
will require very many years and very |
many more factories to supply what Is
needed, and the population will be still |
increasing, so that the demand will be
augmented and, without taking ex-
portation into account, sugar-making |
will rapidly increase and become more |
and more profitable to those engaged in
II and 10 the nation II Is one Of the |
grand developments in the progress OF |
the United States.

THE CONDUIT CONTROVERSY

This city has been In litigation for
several years with the company, or
firm, that built the conduit to convey
the waters of Parley's canyon creek
for domestic purposes. II has been
conducted with great legal ability on
both sides. OF course our sympathles
are and have been on the side OF the
municipality. Apart from any other
consideration, we have viewed the suit
against the city as an attempt TO bleed
1t, and compel the payment of large
sums In excess OF the contract price,
without good reason or Justice SO far,
the city has prevailed in its resistance,
but the contention has been prolonged
