The American city administration is

Ing admirable work In all departments
Of the public service.
The enemies Of this administration
are the political schemers and plotters-
They are shrieking in horror that they
anticipate an increase In city taxes.
But they saw nothing wrong when the
last administration increased the city
tax levy each year II was In power;
first from nine mills 10 ten. then from
ten mills TO eleven. In the estimation
OF the partisan weepers, that was a

MEAT-PACKING REFORM.

When Gen Miles made his famous
protest against the supplying Of "em-
balmed beef" to the army, he was put
under an official cloud. And yet, when
be made this protest. there was good
deal known to the public to Justify his
words. A good deal more Is known now,
and the probability Is that the pro-
cesses OF the Chicago packers have been
going on from bad to worse. Tho facts
carried In the reports OF the National
inspectors as TO these methods are such
that IT would have been a public out
rage to suppress them. The condoning
Of the oftenses charged by Gen. Miles,
the covering up of the evil practices
then, are the direct excuse for the con-
tinued and increasing evils of Packing

We are paIned to see that President
Frank j. Hagenbarth OF the National

exposures made TO be a blow at the

impossible to agree with him. He as

publicity which the President has given
this matter. France and Germany
would become far more extensive buy

knowledge by them may easily account
for their small purchases. on which he

meats is to have them above suspicion

impose upon the world the pretense that

that we are fooling others.

SAN FRANCIsCo's PROTEST.

The city OF San Francisco and the
Southern Pacific Railway company
have Joined in Issuing systematic pro-
tests against the exaggeration which
has become prevalent to the damage in
the public estimation OF the business
and the prospects OF the coast. The San
Francisco calamity gave rise to sort
of panic in the public mind which, 1t Ia
assumed may act unfavorably upon the
whole of the coast cities, and injure
the business Of the whole State of Call
fornia-
But as the protest very Justly says.
Nothing but the truth is necessary to
point out that no material industry,
agriculture. horticulture. riticulture,
mining, manufacturing, commerce, has
suffered interruption or permanent in
jury This is manifestly the case.
Commerce. to be sure. would be inter
rupted to some extent and will continue
TO be interrupted until San Francisco
can restore sufficient OF her warehouse
facilities to handle what is offered; but
on the other hand, as soon as the city
is ready to fully resume, the rush of
be correspondingly great, because the
city is to be rebuilt, and Industry will
have an activity that is unparalleled In
the history OF the country.
There have been many wild rumors In
circulation about the dangers In build
nP ha
These rumors have been intensified by
papers" of so-called scientists who un-
dertake to point out an earthquake belt
extending pretty much all along the
coast, In which these alleged scientists
aver earthquakes are liable to over
throw everything that man may put
up, at any time 1t is probable that
these sensational scientific papers, so
called, have been responsible for more
OF the real distrust In the public mind
OF the peril to investments and of de-
struction to come IN this alleged So
called earthquake belt, than the mere
fact OF the calamity In San Francisco
and other cities further down. The
fact that earthquake disturbances TO
any calamitous extent have been In fact
wanting for the time In which the hahl-
tation of that region has been known
TO mankind ought TO quiet the fears of
the sensationalists. The further fact
as pointed out by the efforts underta- :
ken by the city and the railway COM
pany. to show that no material indus
| try or reliance of California has been
really .interfered with. ought to dispel
any distrust which remains in the pub
lie mind.
The Governor of California has also
Joined forces with the interests above
named. and has issued a statement to
| the Governors OF other States, which
certainly ought to have strong effect

THE JOINT EXHIBIT.

The Tribune heartily approves Of the
OF the State Fair association, the Real
Estate Mems association and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
ton, to join forces in getting together
an exhibit which will Justly and prop
erly show the vast resources and at
fractions OF Utah. 1t is quite true. as
stated that the smaller exhibits scat
tered around as they are In different
places are ineffective to do Justice TO
the large subject Of Uteh's resources as
1t should be presented One VIII sec a
partial mineral exhibit IN one place, an
other partial mineral exhibit in anoth-
er, a little coal here, little grain there.
a little fruit in one place. a little in an
other. some grain, here. more there, and
so on. but what is wanted is a consoli-
dated exhibit showing not only the SUI
periority Of Utah in detail, but It's i'm
n;ense resources and superiority in the
aggregate.
The joint movement Is also commend
able IN It's effort to find n central place
where all these smaller exhibits can be
brought together and made effective for
the showing of Utah's. Vast wealth and
possibilities The combined strength OF
these associations should be and un-
doubtedly Is sufficient to afford guar
antee ample TO any one who Will erect
a building suitable for these Joint ex-
hibits that he Will receive the usual
returns on his investment.
Mr.. Mcdonald. president of the State
Fair Association, was quite right in
stating that the time has come for
something else than the Temple Square
and Brigham Young's grave to be
shown to tourists who are sightseeing
in this city He is certainly correct In
his proposition that those who merely
see the ordinary sights that tourists
come and ask to see. fail to see Utah as
It is-Utah with her vast mineral in
dustries, having deposits of a more
ETY. Of metals and carbons than any
other State can show. having fruit pos
sibilttes greater even in variety and
flavor Of product than California can
produce; having ranges extensive and
rich that can never be limited or inter-
fered with raising the best grain
known to commerce. and having vast
areas that can be brought into tillage
should surely have something better to
show than some mere religious or sec
tartan curiosities
By all means. push on the good work
Of consolidation, and show forth what
the State can do. and what men of cap
ital and energy can find here to employ
their money upon. Few States in the
Union offer SO good an opportunity as
Utah for energy and investment of cap
ital; none AFFORD any better opportuni-
ties. Now is the time to let the world
know the facts: and the three Joint
concerns referred to are in excellent po
sition to take the initiative IN making
this showing and push 1t to effective
result Push on the good work.

THE OLDEST RUINS.

New York Tribune.
The oldest architectural ruins in the
world are believed to pe the rock tenn
pies at Ipsamnpool, on the Nile, In Nu-
bia. One OF the ancient temples con-
sists of fourteen apartments hewn out
of solid stone. The largest single stone
used In this work is one which forms a
veranda-like projection along ono side
OF the main temple. It is 81 feet long,
SO broad and lone account says 19-
feet thick. This colossal stone Is sup
ported by two rows OF massive square
pillars, four In each row and each 80
feet high. To each of these pillars Is
attached a colossal figure OF a human
being. reaching from floor to roof In
front of the main temple are seated still
other colossi, four in number, the two
largest being each 65 feet high. The
ruins are supposed to be 1000 years old.
