A Future aYfIxadO.

Perhaps the most interesting small
boy in the world is little Prince AIicchi,
grandson of the japanese mikado and
destined himself to be a mikado some
day. He will be four years old in April.
The heir presumptive to the great
eastern throne has the distinction of
being the first baby Of the royal house
of Jimmu Tenno who has been allowed
to grow his hair Ike an English baby.
Both his father and the mikadO when
babies had their heads shaved daily by
their nurses.
Soon after the princes birth meas
ures were taken TO eliminate the aim
ond eye" of his race. y painless little
surgical operation was performed An
incision was made on the outer point of
the baby's eyelids in a straight line
for the barcst part OF an inch The
lashes were then drawn into shape and
held firmly by a piece of chemically
prepared sticking plaster.
The wound healed in less than a
week. and the effect now is that Prince
Micchi does not look his oriental birth.
All the news all the time-The Argus.

The annual shutdown of the Sylvan
steel mills, due July 1, will be for
but few days this year. instead of the
usual two weeks. y prosperous year
and an unusually large number of or
ders on hand for this season is given
as the cause. The repairs needed
amount to but little, and as soon as
the inventory is completed work will
be resumed. All the head mechanics
and engineers will be retained to take
stock and make the repairs, and at
the most only about one-half of the
force viii be laid off at all. and that
portion but for three or four days.
The mills have been running full blast
for the last six months, but the wear
on the machinery has been slight and
will need little overhauling. At pres
ent there are orders enough on hand
to insure steady work till the middle
of autumn, without any additional
business.

" inaL That seems TO be the law in

General Molineux is trying to have
the law changed. He is not without

matter, but that is no reason why his
efforts should not be successful. The
general wants a picture CT his son.

When young MOlineux was convicted
OF murder in New York some years
ago. after a trial that has become
celebrated in the criminal annals Of

rounded by all sorts of criminals. He
was sent TO Sing Sing prison TO await
the day appointed for his execution.
Before he could be put to death. how
ever, the supreme court of the state
granted him a new trial At the second
hearing he was acquitted. Then de-
mand was made for the removal OF
his picture from its Infamous sur
roundings-
The demand was not complied with

compel compliance came to naught.

manned in the Rogue's Gallery. to be
looked at by curious visitors and
pointed out by the police as a criminal.
The thing is not fair. There Is no jus
tice in it. The portrait Of Roland b.
Molineux has no more place in the
Rogue's Gallery than the portrait of
man who has never been accused of
any crime. It is to be hoped that the
effort Of the father to right the wrong
done his son and to protect others
who may be innocent from a similar
experience viii be successful.

SUNDAY ELECTIONS.


IN A LECTURE delivered in st. Louis
L some days ago Henry Watterson Of
Louisville talked in favor of holding
elections in big cities. on Sunday. AS
Sunday is a day of leisure he believed
more people would vote and elections
would be more satisfactory for that
reason. Elections are nearly always
held on Sundays in France, but they do
nearly everything else in France on
Sundays that they do on week days.
Sunday in France is a holiday in the
broadcast possible sense.
Commenting on Colonel Watterson's
talk, the Boston Herald says:
In the western cities where the ma
jOrity of the people have ideas con-
corning the uses of Sunday that are not
generally favored in eastern cities, the
proposition of Colonel WattersOn viii
not seem so improper and startling as
il would seem in Boston. In the
east the proposal would meet with lit
tie favor
For the benefit of our contemporary,
which seems badly informed as to
western observance Of Sunday, we wish
to say that the idea of holding cleo
tions on the Sabbath viii meet with as
little favor here as in Boston. We
may not be as Puritanical and oSrait-
laced on some matters as the Boston
csc, but we haven't yet reached the
point in disregard for the Sabbath when
we would be willing to hold elections
on that day. Boston. by the way,
might be easier to live in if it were less
Puritanieal: and it is only just TO say
We might be better off if we were more
So We have no stones in our sling fol
Boston, and we are not looking for any
from that direction.
There is something that is altogether
repugnant about the notion of holding
elections on Sunday. Think of the Sab
bath quiet of our streets being dis
turbed by the noisy rumbling Of elec-
ton carriages, banners Haunting there
from and reeking partisans at the reins
and on the cushionsi Think of the noisy
crowds around the polling places, the
pulling and hauling Of voters. the loud
arguments Of political heelers. the
shouts of victory and all the other up
roar that goes with an ordinary cleo
ton.
No, we don't want any OF that on
Sunday. There is a reasonable limit tC
everything and we believe the limit Of
Sabbath dissertation is reached before
sunday elections begin.

THE ossTRvcTIoEIsTs.

IL A COMMUNICATION to the city
l council on Monday evening. Charles
Crane came to the fore as opposing
the paving Of Brigham street. object
ing 10 the activity Of the Commercial
club I'm the paving project asserting
that the majority of the property own
ers on Brigham street are not in favor
OF the improvement.
Mr.. Cranes attitude as an obstruc-
ZIONIST does him no credit. The inn
provement is wanted by the owners
OF property abutting on the street, and
it is wanted just as badly by the peo-
pie Of Salt Lake City. who are tired
OF seeing that great residence street
look like an abandoned county road
in some God-forsaken. unprogressive,
poverty-stricken region a hundred
miles from civilization.
Compared to the value of a first
class paved street, the objection Of Mr..
Crane is as unimportant as mud on
the fifth wheel Of a wagon. The prop
erty owners who viii pay for the cost
of the paving viii get more than that
cost back in the increased value Of
their holdings. Moreover. the residents
OF the whole city VIII benefit by hav-
ing at least one presentable Highway
FOR the inspection Of visitors. There
are a hundred reasons why this street
and Others-should be improved
while there is only one reason why
the work should not be done. That
one reason is the unwillingness of a
well-to-dO citizen to bear his fair share
Of the slight burden imposed in max
ing salt Lake city the desirable place
OF residence it should be.
We have had obstructionists in con-
troll Of city affairs long enough; it is
time now to give them seats way
back. while more philosophical citi-
zens do the work of improvement.
