not going to enter the field for an
other term as United States senator.

quite certain that Mr.. Brundidge
would not oppose Senator Berry. for
they are such e3eae fri ads as 10 Dro-

mETRoPoL IN VERDICT.


When the newspapers of New York
City are unanimous in stating any
thing it may be regarded as absolute
" true. Without dissenting critic,
they said of the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Enormous Shows Unit
ed, when they gave their annual open
ing exhibitions at. Madison Square
Garden, that great as those shows had
been in former years they certainly
have surpassed themselves this year,
and no circus exhibitions on the
American continent had ever before
equaled them or had been near enough
equal to them to be mentioned in the
same class. New York newspapers are
always loyal to New York institutions,
and as this great consolidation is the
only circus that exhibits in the metro
polls, and are the only ones in this
country that ever have exhibited in
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia
an other Eastern cities, their enthusi-
asm over them is excusable, especially
IS the shows SO certainly deserve the
greatest possible praise. 1t is almost
impossible to exaggcrate statements
as to their magnitude and merit, as
will be shown to the circus critics liv-
ing here by an exact duplicate of the
New York performances when they
exhibit here, On Thursday, Oct. %.

meeting, and gave to all visitors a

The following now was observed: !
Recitation by three children, "What

Recitation by one, "Whas boy can

The alarm of fire that called out She
hose wagons Friday night was caused
bysan incipient fire at the house OF
George Williams, near the cid c.,
S. & n. depot. The blaze was extin-
guished before much damage was done.
The hose wagons did not reach the
fire at all, going to the oil mill in
stead, there being misunderstanding
in reference to the location Of the fire.
The city has a floating debt OF
about sl5, 600 and is paying more than
81, 600 year discount to the banks.
It would be more economical and good
business policy to issue bonds to take
up this floating debt. But If this is
done the city council should call a
halt on expenditures and keep the ex-
penses within the income. It is just as
bad for municipality to live beyond
IT'S income as for an individual to ex-
pend more than he earns.

THE sMueeLER-uMIoM CASE.

A n ATTEMPT is being made by GER
Il tain newspapers to make capital
against labor unions out of the as
sassination of the superintendent of
the Smuggler- Union mine near Tellu
ride. Colo. All accounts agree that
the killing vas altogether unjustified
and unjustifable. The man who fired
the load of buckshot that killed the su-
perintendent is a murderer too vile for
words. He may or he may not have
been a member of a labor union.
No matter whether he was or not,
no punishment that the law can infict
will be too severe for him in the event
of his capture. But to charge the la
Dor unions with being bad because this
superintendent was assassinated is as
unfair as 10 charge Christianity with
being a fraud because some of its min
listers are unworthy. The Herald sin

Friday Is Sermon Dav.

Probably few of the good people who
listen with rapt attention to the sermon
which is preached TO them each Sunday.
says the Denver Post, know that for
nearly 800. years Friday has BEEN the
time-honored day for the pastor to go
into his study, write the sermon which is
TO furnish food for thought to the con-
gregation on the following Sunday. In
Speaking of this custom, the Rev. DR..
Utter, pastor of Unity church. says:
when Christianity was first prOmUl-
gated all preaching was done eXtempO-
raneously. Such a thing as preparing a
sermon was unknown. Many gifted men
expressed their views on various sub
jects, then added a few words of good
advice TO their listeners. This practice
is still continued in the Roman Catholic
church of the present day, and / think
that a very limited number of the priests
ever write a sermon. Not all ministers,
however, adhere to this rule, by any
means. When Henry Ward Beecher was
asked on what day he prepared his ser
mon he replied: ON Sunday morning, of
course
We'll, Mr.. Beecher, don't you think
that is a rather dilatory habit for you to
get into?' asked another.
oh, no, not at ALL replied Mr.. Beech
err in his quick way. You see, / look at
a sermon like some do on pancake.
They can be served hot or cold, and l
like mine hot, that's all

SPECIALIZING a cURsE7

A DISTINGUISHED COLLEGE pres
- ident said a few days ago in an
address that the educational curse OF
the country was the modern tendency
to specialize. He deplored the lack Of
general education, that is, education
Of the kind that makes its possessor
fairly proficient in a number of
branches. A wide field for discussion
is opened by the college presidents
remarks, and a good deal may be said
on both sides of the question.
1t seems rather extreme to call
specializing a curse. The man who
knows one thing better than any other
man knows it,. is sure to be rewarded
as long as he lives with a lucrative
salary OF practice. There is so much
to everything these days. Once upon
a time, if a man knew how to pull
tooth he was privileged to cali himself
a dentist. 1t has not been so very
many years since the practitioner who
the patient to bleed to death ranked
high as a physician.
Now the dentist must know more
than the art of extracting a molar. He
must know something about anatomy,
he must have a knowledge of anaes-
thetics, he must be familiar with nerve
killers and antiseptic precautions. The
same thing is true of the general prac-
titioner of medicine. There is world
of things for him to learn. and if he
learns them well he has no time for
anything else. Therefore, the tendency
to specialize is growing.
We have doctors who practice

NEWS FOR THE NERVOUS.

A WEALTHY CITIZEN of Vienna
n who is troubled with weak heart
has interested two friends in The es-
Enlistment of newspaper which will
cater to nervous people. That is. its
news will be toned down until it is
soothing instead of shocking. Large
headlines will be tabooed, and anything
of a sensational nature will be rigidly
cut down to bare announcements.
It is said that prizes have been Of
fered for stories telling of important
events in such a way as not to wound
the most delicate sensibility. Here is
a chance for American newspaper men
to get into an entirely new game. We
will suppose, for instance, that the big
gest bank in Vienna has failed because
the cashier took it into his head to
pack all of the available funds into a
trunk and hurry out of town. The
Vienna Neues bIatter, if that is to be
the name Of the newspaper, would start
out with:
Now don't worry, good people. We
have a little story to tell you this
morning, but it really doesn't amount
to anything. 1t seems that when the
janitor went to open the doors of the
Ausgerichte bank last morgen he
found the doors Of the vault likewise
open. He didn't worry, and we hope
you won't worry, either, but he thought
he'd look into the gevaulten.
HE was mildly surprised when he
found therein nixcumeraus. All of the
money was gone. But don't worry.
There is nothing to be alarmed at The
janitor thought, perhaps, he would find
| some collateral left, and, surely enough,
he found note from Herr Geldgrabber,
the cashier. It said that the esteemed
Herr had gone to South Africa with the
money. OF course, the directors were
informed about the affair." and, while
! they do not see any occasion for any
body to worry, they feel that they will
not be able to pay any of the depositors
a pfennig."
Or, suppose an anarchist should as
sassinate the emperor of Austria. We
| can imagine the Neuesblatter saying, in
I duleet nonpareI tones:
I'VE regret to report that there was
a little shooting ARRAY yesterday in
our midst. 1t was really a trivial
affair. but we feel it to be our duty to
make public some information.
Promptly at 11:OS a. m. the shot was
/ fired that may, it is feared, cause some
distress among our citizens, but we
/ trust it Will not be lasting. The fact
| is, indeed, that the wound has proved
fatal, but then, it is appointed unto
man once to die. so that is nothing
unusual
THE shot to which we refer as hav-
! ing been fired at 11:OS entered the per-
son of very well known gentleman.
He didn't worry much because he didn't
/ have time, and we feel sure our patrons
will view the matter in the same light.
/ Worry is frequently fatal to those of
weak constitutions. We are frequently
/ cautioned by our physician to let moth
/ ing excite us. BY the way, IL was the
emperor who was shot"
The new paper is entitled to a large
circulation if novelty is merit, but
we fear most readers Of newspapers
prefer to be shocked with their coffee
| every morning. And If the people who
pay are willing to take chances. we
| believe they are entitled to their shocks

AN ENTERPRISE IN MUSIC.

THE SALT LAKE SYMPHONY or
chestra experiment will be tried
tonight. The result win determine
whether or not this city has among
its inhabitants enough appreciators of
real music, OF music in its highest
and most perfect form, to justify this
most worthy project. And The Herald
believes 1t has.
II the people do not rally with en-
thusiasm TO the support of Mr.. Shep-
herd and the management. it is hardly
possible that the organization can ex-
ist. From no source can the expense
of such a body of musicians be de-
rived save that of the public purse
Every city OF note in the nation has
had. at one time or another. it's SYM
phony orchestra And in most cases
financial failure has been the result.
Even Boston. New York. Pittsburg and
Chicago orchestras are kept up by sub
scriptions from wealthy patrons of the
art. In those centers, of course. the
expenses are tremendous, but no more
so, comparatively speaking. than here.
Musicians the world over are entitled
to the same number of meals daily
though, unfortunately. all do not get
the same-and the fiddler must be paid
If the fiddler is to dine.
Everything so far points to the sue
cess of the Salt Lake Symphony or
chestra. 1t is not a money making
project The management hopes only
to make ends meet-to pay the mu-
sicians for their time while rehearsing
and while performing before the pub
