FAIR GROUNDS AND BUILDING,

The public will be pleased TO learn
that the Deseret Agricultural and
Manufacturing Society has reached a
definite conclusion on the dispute about
the site for the Fair grounds and build
ing. The spot selected is the old ASr-
cultural Park. The directors Of the
association, after wrestling with the
subject for a long time, and considering
the offers made by different parties 10
sell grounds suitable for the purpose.
settled upon the place herein designat-
ed.
One Of the potent reasons for this de-
termination Is the legal opinion Of the
State attorney general, that under the
Jaw the site must be within the limits
Of Salt Lake municipality The place
Is suitable for the purpose. and we be-
ileye the great majority Of the public
viii be gratihed. that It IS to be utilized
for the object which was In view as to
those grounds originally.
Agricultural Park may now be con-
sidered the future permanent home Of
the State Fair. This viii please the
inhabitants Of the Tenth Ward who
have for q long time objected to the
occupation Of the square, which they
desire for a pleasure park, by the high
fence and sheds and other distractions
there. which will now be disposed OF
and soon be removed.
The directors were practically unani-

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The organization OF Commercial
club IN this city, suggested by bust
ness man and endorsed editorlally In
this paper, seems to meet with favor
among the principal business men Of
Salt Lake. II viii receive the support
Of the Governor the Mayor and the SUI
perIntendents and managers Of the
most prominent enterprises, as well as
Of the heads OF firms, bankers mer-
chants, brokers, etc. The movement win
soon be started, and we believe VIII
commence under better auspices than
those OF anything Of the kind that has
heretofore been projected,
The experiences OF the past WIN
doubtless be Of benefit In the future,
The rocks on which the vessels OF com.
merclal associations have split in the
past win be carefully avoided in time
TO come, and the mistakes that have
occurred viii not be repeated. This city
Is now IN better financial condition
than ever before to lay the foundation
for solid institution OF this charac-
ter. There should be a combination Of
old and experienced lnanoiers and
commercial traders, with young and
vigorous and pushing men who win NOT
drop Into old ruts and ignore the most
advanced methods. Extremes either
way should be avoided. The young adj
venturous blood should be tempered by
that conservative element which is do
veloped by age and experience.
In q city Of the population wealth
and business interests of Salt Lake
center Of trade and commerce, the lack
OF such an organization Is blank that
Is conspicuous when viewed by the
bright and strong men Of other places,
and that ought TO be filled by live and
vigorous association. All the business
elements Of this city should combine
for mutual advantage and to enhance
commercial interests generally. We be-
ileve the movement proposed win ma
terialize and the Commercial club be-
come a permanent and profitable Salt
Lake Institution.

NJ. WIS DIPLOMACY,

a letter to Secretary Hay, asking that
commission be appointed to investI-
gate the workings Of the Chinese ox-
cusion law II this suggestion be act
ed upon, delay win be gained. Score.
tary Hay has forwarded the letter to
the chairman OF the House committee
on foreign affairs, claiming that the
matter belongs to Congress and not to
the state department
NJ WI, 1t seems, has discovered
clause IN Che treaty Of 1850 between this
country md his, stipulatlng that II the
laws Of Congress are found to work
hardship upon the subjects Of China,
the Chinese minister may bring the
matter TO the notice Of the secretary
of state, who viii consider the subject
with him, "to the ond that mutual and
unqualified benefit may result" He
claims that the exclusion law has
worked a hardship upon his country
men, and he claims that under the
agreement entered into, 1t Is the duty
Of Congress 20 have that matter thor
oughly investigated before re-enact-
ing the exclusion law HIS idea Is that
n commission be appointed to visit the
localities IN this country where Chinese
mostly congregato as we'll as the Ha-
waiian and Philippine islands, and by
personal observation find out just how
the law operates. NJ. Wa is confident,
he says. that the report Of such a COM
mission would satisfy Congress that the
present law is Il violation Of justice and
humanity. and that It works an in
jury 10 the interests Of both countries
Such an investigation would result
IN the postponement Of further legisla-
ton on the subject for some time Per
sonal observations by a commission, not
only IN the United States proper but
also in the islands OF the sea, could not
be made in a hurry In the meantime
