OUR WHITE CHRISTMAS.

w ELL. we had just exactly the sort
w of Christmas we needed, climatic
ally speaking. It looked as if the
weather man had been saving that
beautiful storm Of Saturday night and
Sunday just so he might surprise us
with it at the very time we wanted st
most 1t didn't look very much like a
white Christmas Saturday afternoon.
1t didn't look very much like it, in
deed, until well along toward midnight
Then the weather had turned cooler
and the first flakes began to fall.
When you Weakened Christmas morn
ing you saw a mighty pretty world.
And you saw prettier one yesterday
morning. An old superstition has it
that green Christmas makes a fat
graveyard. We don't believe this is
literally true. If it were. California
would not be a health resort whose
fame extends 10 every quarter OF the
globe. But, seriously, a white Christ
mas is certainly a lot better than a
green one. Besides, we needed that
snow in our business.
1t was the first really good storm Of
the season. There was very little snow
in the hills up to Saturday. Where, in
ordinary years. it was piled up three
or four feet deep, its depth on Satur-
Gay was measured in inches. Today
things are different. Ali reports indi-
cate that the fail in the hills was
heavy. If we have two or three more
storms as good as the last one there

we are obliged to reckon so anxiously

The dsy is not far distant when we

supply for Salt Lake. Providence has
been mighty good to US these many
years, but we mustn't depend entirely
on Providence any longer than we can

said: God helps him vino helps him

this water question.

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME
L for the theft of the governorship
of Colorado has been openly announced.
a more deliberate steal was never
Planned. 1t is said that when the leg
islature, in which there VIII be Re
publican majority of thirty on joint
ballot. is called to order, a special con-
test committee will be appointed. It
viii be the business of this committee
to throw out enough Democratic pre-
cincts to insure the continuance Of
Governor Peabody in Office.
The 5eliberateness of his highland
ed proceeding become apparent from
the statement made by some Repub-
lican leaders that it is not proposed TO
count the ballots that, on their face,
are. legal. If this were done Governor
elect Adams would still have COM
Portable majority That is, after every
fraudulent vote cast in the Colorado
election has been thrown out, the. Re
publicaas admit that MIR. Adams will
have majority. In other words, it is
Admitted that Mr.. Adams was honestly
elected
But. because they have the machine
~ in their hands, the Republicans, if
they carry out their present pro-
sramme, viii deny to the voters of
Colorado the right to say who shall be
their elective officers during the next
two years. y more arrogant usurpa-
ton of authority has not been con-
templated in this country. 1t is a sig
nificant fact, too, in this connection,
that the decent Republicans Of Colo
lado are taking no part in the pro-
ceedings. They say that Mr.. Adams
was fairly elected and that he should
be allowed to take his seat.
Governor Peabody will lower him
self immensely III the esteem Of many
of his honest admirers if he profits by
the steal. And up to date he has man
ifested perfect willingness 10 profit by
it. He has declared his belief that he
was elected, and he may even think he
was elected, but for the sake of his
own good name he cannot afford TO
take an office so tainted with crime as
his will be if he accepts it. Governor
Peabody's course during the reign of
Gnarchy in Colorado last summer
| earned for him many friends and many
! bitter enemies.
That ne was guilty of lawiessness
then there is TO question. but that
lawlessness fades into unimportance
when compared with the present pro-
ceedings- 1t is safe to predict that
unless Adams is, given the Office he
fairly won at the last election there
will be a conflict i'm Colorado from
which the state Will not recover for
years to come.

Willie's Unbelief.

Is. f. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald.)
Pa knows and ma knows that l don't
believe In Santa Claus:
They can't blame me about it. though
II amt my fault. but pas;
Last year we had a Christmas tree, and
gee but il was fine.
1t fairly bent with all the gifts-the most
OF them was mine
And all day hong they hung Up there,
just only for 10 see.
Cause ma said Santa had to come and
Dick them off for me.
It seemed as though I couldn't wait for
dark to ever come
SO ! could have my horn and books and
CANDY cane and drum.
And all the little boxes that We're tied
with fancy strings.
But pa and ma both said that all the
toys and other things
Would fade away If l clum up and
pulled them from the tree
Before old Santa came around 70 hand
them down TO me.
At last, when it had seemed 4 week.
they had TO light the light.
And l was glad and filled with pie and
things, and il was night.
And me and ma were all alone-pa' d
went away somewhere
And every noise l heard I'd think that
Santa Claus was there.
So then, first thing / knew, he coughed
With snow-white fur and whiskers like
the pictures that you see.
Ma didn't seem at all afraid-and she's
- a coward, too
He'd pat her cheeks and she would
laugh at everything he'd do:
But pretty soon, when he'd got on a
rockin' chair TO reach
A bundle that was higher than his head,
ma give a screech.
And. iimmunneei / tell you what it Was
a sight to see
Old Santa'd caught afire and was tangled
in the tree,
He kicked and clawed and hollered. and
the dickens was to pay:
The whiskers went a-flyin' and ma faint
ed dead away;
But 'GuSta-thats our hired girl-cOme
tearin' I'm and threw
A Turkish rug on Santa Claus, and then
the next we knew
She'd put the fire ont and there beside
the Christmas tree
Pa lifted off the rug, at last, and set
and bllnked at me.
we got ma braced w after while, and
then she cried and cried
And kept a-huggin 'Gusta till the poor
girl nearly died;
And pa had blisters on his hands and on
his nose and neck,
And not an eyebrow left, and all his
outfit was a wreck,
l don't believe in Santa Claus, but pa
amt mad: you see
Since last year him and ma they don't
believe, no more than me.

ATTEND THIS MEETING.

A CALL has been issued by the Com
II mercial club for a general meeting
OF its members tonight at s o'clock, at
which win be discussed the proposition
to vote bonds for the enlargement Of
the city's water supply, for the con
struction of a conduit and for the sew
ering Of the southwestern part of the
city.
The meeting will offer an opportun-
ity for a wide discussion of the ques-
ton on both sides, and it is to be hoped
the business men of the city will at
tend in large numbers. No question Of
equal Importance has been presented
TO the taxpayers of Salt Lake City in
recent years; no question has been
Tcore earnestly debated. and none has
involved so much that is vital to the
future welfare of the city.
1t may be assumed in advance that
the friends and opponents Of the meas
ure viii be on hand prepared to give
the very strongest arguments on their
respective sides; and whatever may be
brought forth in the way of argument
there can be no doubt as to the value
TO the community of such a discussion
as will be held
The Herald has already expressed its
conviction that an effort should be
made to secure the Big Cottonwood wa
ter and that there is no valid objection
TO the plan offered unless, possibly, IN
the form of contract drawn up. That
form is a matter for the lawyers to
Pass upon, and those representing the
city so far have given their reasons
for believing that the contract is not
fatally defective OF unjust to the city,
and that its terms can be complied with
il such a manner as to obviate any
possibility of damages or indirect in
jury.
Barring this one possible objection,
which is said TO be in process of ad-
justment, the opponents of the project
have so far advanced no. plan of any
kind as substitute, and it should be
part of the discussion tonight TO bring
out, If possible, some means Of increas-
Ing the water supply st a reasonable
cost if the one offered by the city adj
ministration is not deemed feasible.
Certainly there can be 10 debate about
the absolute necessity Of providing wa
ter sufficient for future rs we'll as pres
ent needs; certainly there has been no
plan yet advanced that presented any
thing like the advantages outlined IL
the one now under consideration. And
unless some better scheme Is forthcom-
ing, there should be no delay in accept
ing the one proposed. subject to such
modification of the terms as may be
secured from the owners or the water
who are understood 70 be favorable 20
any reasonable and fair contract so
long as they can be assured that they
viii be supplied with irrigatlng water
Cor their lands.

ST. LOUIS FAIR FIGURES.

A COMPARISON between the attend
Il ance at the St. Louis exposition,
the official figures for which have just
been given out, and the attendance at
Chicago in 1898, show a surprising diff
ference in favor Of the latter. The to-
tai admissions at St. Louis were H.
694,S55. At Chicago the total admis-
sions were 27,535.521. At. St. Louis there
were $3.50, 2S9 free admissions. At Chi
oago the free list aggregated $3.50, $50.
More than one-third of the ST. Louis
admissions were free, while less than
Gne-fourth OF those at Chicago paid
nothing.
1t will be remembered that the Chi
oaso fair was open on Sunday. But
those who visited it on Sunday will re-
member that the attendance was in
variably very light. There was never
a Sunday from the beginning to the end
Of the Chicago fair on which the at
tendance ran into six figures. And not
very often did it run high into the
five figure class. In twenty-five Sun
Gays the Chicago fair was open the
Iaid admissions were a little under
100000.
Chicago's advantage in the Sunday
opening feature was more than over
come by the fact that the st. Louis
fair was open from April 30 TO Dec. /.
inclusive. but exclusive. Of course, Of
Sundays, a glance at the calendar
shows that st. Louis thus gained TWEEN
ty-eight days, gross. over Chicago. De
Quoting Chicago's twenty-five Sundays,
the net difference in favor of St. Louis
is six days. Yet 7,S44. 500 more people
saw the Chicago fair than saw the ex-
position at St Louis The difference
in paid admissions, s,675,525, is even
more sharply in favor of Chicago.
It is difficult to account for Chicago's
great advantage. Certainly it was not
due to any inferiority in the st. Louis
exposition. The fair that has just end
ed was admittedly the greatest that has
ever been held in the United States.
and that means in the world. 1t was
far ahead of Chicago. The st. Louis
fair was held in a presidential. year.
but the Chicago fair was held in
panic year.
Some writer's think that public inter-
est in great expOsitions is waning, that
il reached its high tide at Chicago. and
that many years win clapse before it
can again be aroused. This would seem
60 be the most rational solution of the
probleni.
