OLD TIME DINNERS

Mrs. T.. s. Bladen in the Christmas
number Of LIpplncotts tells interest
ingly of the oId-time dinners that de-
lighted the Americans. The object then
was TO eat. and not merely to please the
eve The description is interesting In
Wow of the great change that has tax
en- place In this regard within the last
few years, in American society. That
dinners formerly we're stately affairs,
appears from the following paragraph
in the article referred to, concerning
function at Saratoga Springs fifty years
ago
1.-THE great diningroom. respondent

while behind every two chairs colored
waiter man was stationed. The major

head OF the table with n baton In his
hand Orchestral music ushered In the
guests, who took their seats at table;
the major-d omo raised his wand, and
each walter man advanced and stood
back Of the guests; at the second wave
of the wand the walters laid hands
upon the discovers, and at the third
wave every cover was lifted and laid
upon small dumb-waiters which other
attendants carried away. Then the
major-domo laid his hand upon his
heart and bowed to the guests, the
music struck up, and the walters served
the dishes"
A dinner at the country-seat OF Hon.
Richard Rush must have been quite an
affair Mrs. Bladen describes one
given in honor Of Miss Harriet Lane.
She says:
"lIls whole dinner service was Of solid
silver. There were covered dishes and
meat dishes, tankards and stands for
the decanters, also silver labels for the

was saddle of yenlson, which Mr.,
Rush carved himself; at the other end

WAGES AND RATES.

The Chicago News says there are
lntlmations that certain railway com
NAMES would Offset the late increase IN
the wages of their workingmen by rails
ing freight rates. The upward move
ment IN rates IL already marked. The
eastern trunk lines have decided upon
an advance Of 2h cents in grain rates
and of 8 cents on provisions, the IN
crease on other classes of freight being
stil greater II Is announced that II
the public stands the strain there VIII
he much larger advances after Jan J.
From this It would appear That some
OF the railroads advertised the ~ per
cent raise In wages, in order to be IN a
position 10 charge the public n much
higher percentage in the raise on
freight. There can be no justification
for that proceeding at this time Ihe
business of the roads Is SO immense
that they can afford to pay the men
higher wages without charging the
public anything extra.
Possibly the roads desire to feel the
public pulse to see how much the peo-
plo Is willing TO stand, Well, the public
verdict will be that as long as tue
business 10 so large as It Is now, IL IS
simply robbery to raise the ireigh'
rates, and It viii be resented, as were
the beef trust prices, and the 1uarrel
Of the coal companies with their en-
ployes.

WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN.

Readers Of the Deseret News are
aware that this paper has contended
for the exclusion OF religious influences,
as well as political craftsmanship, from
the conventions for the nomination of
members OF the Board Of Education.
Therefore the suggestion that sectar-
ianism be included In our objections,
falls very fiat from morning contem-
porary.
1t is noticeable that In speaking Of
the prominent part taken by Rev. p. A.
Simpkin ut the First Precinct conven-
ton, 1t Is stated that he acted "as a
citizen:" while Bishop Warburton's al
legged action is criticized because OF his
religious position. 1t seems to be all
right for a sectarian minister whose
calling Is entirely ecclesiastical to en-
gage In public affairs and school cleo
tion disputes. while man who Is
chiefly engaged In secular business as
q storekeeper, but is also a Mormon"
Bishop, Is to be utterly condemned for
doing likewise. II one has freedom to
act ''as citizen" why not the otherY
We have no objection TO either.
It will be observed that the cutlery
raised In certain quarters against re-
llgious influence In the school election,
simply means opposition to Mormon"
workers, no matter who may be their
candidates. The wrangle In the First
municipal ward evidently started be-
cause the gentleman favored by some
Of the Mormon" voters, was supposed
to be Mormon and Democrat. A
clique Of nti~"Mormons" and Repub-
licans. thereupon became frantic in
their opposition, and turned the nom
partisan convention into bowling par
tisan mob, II turns out that they were
totally mistaken as to the gentleman's
religious and political status, and 80
their hostility was wasted.
Now, these considerations ought not
70 have entered into the dispute. The
mer who are responsible for the wran-
gle are TO blame. The non partisan
voters OF the First precinct clearly did
not put forward their candidate for re-
ligious or partisan reasons, and the
meeting called for Friday night should
therefore receive the support OF those
citizens who are opposed to the intro
duction Of sectarianism or OF PARTISAN
Aiiip In our school affairs.
We are opposed to the very mention
Of Mormon" and Gentle" Democrat
and Republican in association with the
school election. We have not introduce
ed them. They have been forced into
the issue by anti-"Mormon" hate and
malice. and the thinking and reading
public Of this city ought to be able TO
see through the animus displayed by
some Of our contemporaries. and un-
derstand what those papers really
mean when they pose as non.partisan
and non-sectarian.

FOR A EUROPEAN CONFERENCE.

A well known European publlcist,
Leroy Beauleau, now advocates Eu-
ropean conference for the purpose OF
settling the Turkish question. He
thinks that unless this is done, war
cannot be avoided very long, In fact,
he believes that the conference will
have TO be called, to prevent the Bull
garians and Others from attacking
Turkey In the spring. And II the ball
Ia started. the Russians cannot be
held back long. because they are al
ready greatly incensed at the suffer-
ings which the Turks are causing to
their co-religionists, in direct defiance
Of the treaty pledges which the sultan of
Turkey has given 10 the European
powers.
The author quoted believes that 1t Is
the duty of France TO take the Initla-
tive this time, and call an internatlon-
al conference TO take this subject up.
He argues II Russia once again defeats
the Turks II is hardly probable that
the car Will consent TO have the spells
OF war taken from him as these were
taken by the congress OF Berlin. In
other words, II war were to occur be-
tween Russia and Turkey the end OF
the sultan's empire would unquestion-
aely be reached unless that potentate
received the support OF one or more
Of the great powers, as, for example.
England, Germany and Austria. each
nation possibly having an interest TO
prevent the absorption OF the Balkan
peninsula and the country between the
gulf by the great northern empire.
The idea is that suggested by our
government In Its note TO the Berlin
treaty powers In behalf Of the Jews
Of Roumania. The powers, of course
did not feel under obligation TO act
on the suggestion Of our government,
no matter by what principles Of hui
manity that suggestion was inspired.
on the invitation OF France, should the
French government take the initiative,
the conference would undoubtedly take
place.
OF course a conference on the So
called eastern question would not do
much good. The powers interested have
too many conflicting interests. to be
able to agree on radical and final
solution. which would mean the aban-
donln-ni OF Europe by the Turks. and

The pleasant news is now sent round
