The ChrlStmas Guest
BY CHARLES H. cBANDALL.

BY CHARLES II. CRANDALL.
Cold sweeps the wind in every hill
and valley,
Its kisses glaze the rivers and the
sea,
1t drives its steeds through avenue
and alley,
And ltulhs t, see the sLivering
people flee.
Yet by the hearthdre glowing the
north wind shall not rest,
" here glad hands are bestowing
cheer for the Christmas Guest.
Good people all, wherever ye are
dwelling,
In crowded streets Or on the lonely
farm,
Join in the Christmas message, sweet
ly swelling,
And make each home a haven bright
and warm,
Fl hearts, if true and lowly,
I he manger-cradles are,
Where comes the Child-Guest holy
With love, the guiding Star.

CALI LAKES GROWTH.

An interesting story of Salt Lakes
growth is told in the new volume OF
r. l.. Folk & Co.'S city directory which
will DO ready for delivery next Wednes-
day. A summary of it's contents fur
nished by the publishers shows that
this years volume contains 1885
names for the area covered by Beck's
hot springs on tho north, Murray on
the south, Fort Douglas on the east
and the Garfield smelters on the west
Using tho very low multiple Of PA to
get at the population, this gives a to-
tai census of 90, 726 people within the
limits pamod. On the same basis, Salt
Lake proper has 1925 people within
it's corporate limits-a showing TO be
proud of, and conservative enough to
command confidence.
Compared with the directory of 1897
the book shows an increase in names
recorded OF $4,000, an increase of near
ly rs per cent in a decade. Possibly
some other western cities have done
better; but with the exception Of Los
Angeles none has shown so remark
able an increase OF commercial growth
combined with actual gain in popula-
ton, and tho growth is just beginning
to gain recognition elsewhere.
Population alone is not always the
true measure of a city's power but by
any criticism Salt Lake is entitled to
rank at the head Of cities of it's class
in this country. It's clearings are phe-
nomepal. it's development in mining
railroad construction and allied indus
tries is so rapid that even it's own res
idents have failed to appreciate it fully.
1t has takon it's place among the great
mining and smelling centers of the
country and is well on its way to be
ing the most important railroad center
between the Missouri river and the
Pacific coast.

THE SALT PALACE FtAsco.

Promising I'm advance that prize
fighters and prize-fght promoters
are not entitled to any special
consideration at the hands of
the law, the fact remains that Hyland
and Corbett and their hackers have not
had the square DEAF to which even
men of their calling are entitled. They
had announced weeks ago their inten-
ton of holding an argument with
gloves for twenty rounds in Salt Lake.
There was no concealment or evasion
about their programme. The promoters
of the contest received a permit from
the city under the ordinance permit
ting such affairs; they had spent con-
siderable money on preparation and
training, and they were permitted to
go ahead under the belief that, as
heretofore, there would be no interior
ence by the authorities.
At the eleventh hour when it was too
late to recoup their expenses they were
stopped by legal proceedings, nominal
~ in the interest of public morality but
actually in the fJIrtherance Of a polit-
icaI feud. The officials who stopped
them had made no effort to interfere
in previous contests; had, in fact, at
tended them in person with every out
ward appearance of enjoyment. The
minister who swore out tho warrants
vas worked" to give the action a
semblance of religious protest, and the
political beneficiartes. or sufferers,
have attempted to unload on him the
odiUm which has attached to the af-
fair
1t would have been a simple matter
% have notified the principals in the
-Gtest weeks ago that they would not
allowed TO conclude their pro-
ANNE; and it would have been much
fa.rer. more in accord with public SEN
timent If that notice had been served.
The only result has been to discredit
everybody connected with It and to
leave the impression that the right
thing has been done in the wrong way
with little credit to the executors and
little, if any, gain to the cause of pub
lie morality.

as to those who remain on land. Some
people will consider this a disadvan-
tage, because some go to sea IN order
to get entirely away from the work
and the worry of life ashore. These
will have to content themselves with
the slower, older. fashioned ships
Certainly the world at large will APP
pIaud the achievement of constant
communication between sea and shore
and will insist on its continued main
tenance and improvement, IL only for
the immense advantage to the ships
themselves in being able to communi-
cate instantly news Of any disasters to
them.

A MODERN MIRACLE.

What many people will regard as the
most marvellous achievement of mod
ern times. was described in a dispatch
from New York yesterday. At the same
time the wireless operator on the new
French liner, La Provence, was In COM
rnunication with both sides of the At
Iantic ocean. While he was receiving
a message from Poldu, on the coast Of
Cornwall, Cape Cod broke in with a
message. And news from both sides
of the sea was printed in that days
edition of the daily paper issued on
board the ship.
Suppose. fifty, or even twenty, or ten
years ago somebody had come for
ward with the announcement that an
ocean liner would some day be in con-
slant communication with landi
wouldn't that Individual have been ac-
counted crazy by his dearest friends?
Wouldn't there have been talk Of COM
hitting him 10 an asylum for the care
Of the insane? Undoubtedly. Alexan-
der Bells mind was thought to be az
fected when he first brought out the
idea of carrying the human voice over
a wire strung between distant points.
He had almost to give away stock in
the first telephone company. Today the
telephone is in such constant use that
we don't even stop to wonder how we
could get along without it.
Ocean communication win be as gen
eraI few years hence. Marvellous
strides toward the perfection of wire
less telegraph apparatus have been
made The man who wants to keep
constantly informed as to the progress
Of affairs at home need no longer dread
a sea voyage. At present there is, on
board nearly all steamers, a wireless
telegraph outfit. Up TO this time there
has been a brief hiatus in the receipt
Of news, a day or two when the dis
lance between shores prevented the
transmission OF intelligence. Import
ant messages have been cabled abroad
and then sent to incoming steamers by
wireless many hours before the steam
or came within sight of land.
IT will not be very long. though, when
p vessel sailing from New York for
Liverpool will be able 10 receive mes
sagcs every hour from New York, when
the news and the important events of
the day will be known as quickly by
those going down to the sea in ships

A NATIONAL OPPORTUNITY.

~
Remembering how the public prints
have been filled with the records of
criminal selfishness and greed for gain
in high places, the transition in almost
a day to the stories Of unselfsh hero
ism. of national self-sacrifice fn behalf
of a devastated city serves to recall
the fact that this is n pretty good
world after all and most Of its people
would rather do good than evil.
There is a whole sermon in the his
tory of the week that succeeded San
F'rancisco's calamity. From coast to
coast, from north TO south. the ques-
ton has been, how much can we give,
what is needed most? There has been
no debate about the profit of giving
nor of any ultimate selfish end to be
gained. Rich and poor, people Of all
ages and creeds have joined in such
an outpouring of charity as has not
been seen in this country since the
foundation of the government. Mems
minds turned instantly from thoughts
of mopey-rnaking to the thought of do
ing good; commerce stopped, the mar
ket places were deserted, while the
whole world waited for tho news of
the hundreds of thousands whose fate
depended upon the generosity of 9TH
ers.
If there can be any alienation for
such loss and sorrow as came to the
people of San Francisco, surely 1T must
have come to them as every message
that came from outside bore the words
of good cheer, the comforting assur-
ance that they and their helpless ones
would not suffer needlessly for any
thing money could buy ia the way of
physical comforts. Great as San Fran
cisco's loss has been, 1T has given to
the nation unlimited opportunity for
devoted, unselfsh love. for practical
help; an opportunity which has deveI-
oped an unsupported soundness of heart
in the national character and proved
anew the capacity of the American peo-
pie for right thinking and right doing
when an emergency arises
With the passing Of the first DAYS of
excitement there is likely to be SUBJ
sidence of the enthusiasm which char
acterized the early relief measures be-
cause of the belief that the worst of
the crisis is over. Reports from the
most competent observers, however. in
dictate that II must be weeks before the
necessity of relief will have passed. and
the most needy provided for against
the long, dreary fight fof a foothoId.
Facing this necessity, the demands for
aid Will be hard to meet because a good
many people find 1t easy to give during
an excitement who are hard to move
when the worst Of crisis is over. lust
as some men fight we'll in battle who
cannot muster courage for picket duty
and the drudgery of quieter days.
Salt Lake has done and is still do
ing its full share of the work incident
TO the call upon it for help; it shows
no sign OF stopping and it is believed
there viii be no cessation of effort as
long as the call for aid can be heard.
If any weary in well doing there should
be others to relieve them; and In any
event the good people OF the city should
prepare to continue to the utmost of
their ability the magnificent task Of
relief they have undertaken SO gladly
and discharged so nobIy.
