A FAMOUS PHRASE.
Boston Herald.

In a recent address before the hi
nois historical society Charles Il. Carr
considered Lincoln's memorable two
minute address at Gettysburg and
pointed out that the familiar words
contained In the address govern
ment of the people'-'were not original
with Lincoln. II Is recalled that there
was considerable comment at the time
OF his using them, which went so far
that II was Insulated that he was guilt
ty OF wilful plagiarism The matter
was thoroughly investigated by Lamon
Nicoiay and others, and II was found
that the phrase had been SO often used
as TO become common property II APP
pears substantially as Lincoln used IL In
Websters reply TO Hayne, II was used
by Theodore Parker In an anti-slavery
convention at Boston In 1850, and by
Joel Parker IN the Massachusetts con-
stitutlonal convention in 1853 The hrst
appearance OF this phrase so far as Il
has been possible 20 ascertain, was
in the preface to the old Wlckllffe Bible
which declares that this Bible Is for

IMPORTANT TO MEXICO.

According to Los Angeles dispatch
the Southern Pacific has obtained valu-
able concessions for the construction oc
a line through the western states OF
Mexico. The plan Is to build 100 miles
OF road through Sonora, Slnaloa, and
Jaliaco, and the territory OF Topic, to
connect with the Mexican Central sys-
tenn According to an article that APP
peared In the Mexican Herald, when
this project was first launched, the en-
tire road must be completed In seven
years. In general way, the Herald
stated, the line win be built south from
Guaymas 20 Alamos. cross the line OF
the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient az
point near Fuerte. follow south on a
line practically parallel 10 the west
coast OF CuNlcan, the capital of the
State Of slnaloa. and then be built into
Mazatlan. the port which for many
years the international has been in
tent on getting its road built TO. From
Mazatlan the road will be built south
to Teplc and then pass In a southeaster-
~ direction towards Guadalajara or 10
a connection with the Mexican Central.
Much Of the construction that will have
to be done IN establishing this north ana
south line viii be Of a heavy character,
but the greater part viii be OF a COM
paratively light nature The estimated
cost OF the road will be $50 oOo, 900.
II is evident that this Is, TO our neigh
Dor republic, most important enter
prise. For years the Mexican govern
ment has been anxious for railroad
connection between the eastern and
western divisions OF tho country. What

THE MESSAGE OF THE MAYOR.

We direct the attention Of our fellow
citizens to the message of Mayor Ezra
Thompson TO the City Council, which
VIII be found on another page Of this
Issue Of the News It Is a concise,
straightforward and businessllke paper,
and may be Justly commended for It's
brevity and planness as we'll as for the
recommendations il conveys.
II Is gratifying TO know that the
Mayor fayors the prosecution Of the
work for securing the waters of the
Cottonwoods to the ncedful uses OF this
city. Also that he desires caution 70 be
exercised as to legal titles and the eS.
pendlture Of the money raised by bond
ing the city for this purpose, II Is one
OF the most important measures
left to the new council TO com
plete. The people expect its
speedy contamination. But no sensI-
bic man or woman desires TO see It
rushed forward without due care and
consideration, or upon an unsafe
basis.
The work must be done thoroughly
and with full security for It's success.
A thorough and competent engineer
was employed specially ON the con-
diGt. and his opinion as to It's condition
and efficiency would yet be valuable.
There should be no needless outlay
upon It, nor should any opening be
made for waste or peculation. At
the same time, everything essential to
It's perfection ought TO BIZ adopted so
that there may be no real cause for
faulthndIng when the work Is COM
pleted
Such improvements In the IRE DEPART
ment as may he found necessary should
DC inaugurated. and the Mayors sug-
gestlons In that respect are timely So
In regard to the records OF the city
court, the sewer extensions and con-
nections, and other matters, The need
OF union and harmony between the diff
Serent municipal departments must be
evident 10 all thoughtful persons, and
the hints given on this subject by the
Mayor are pointed and clear.
We hope his forecast OF the advance
mont to be made in commercial growth
and general prosperity Will be fully re-
alised Many great projects are doubt
less under contemplation, and some OF
them in progress. and all citizens who
have the welfare OF the municipality at
heart, ana place 1t above mere partisan
considerations, will welcome the era OF
expansion which he anticipates. no
matter under what administration IL
shall be evolved. We commend the
message 20 the candid perusal Of the
people OF Salt Lake City.

Archbishop Keane of Dubuque says
that There are unions organized TO
bring competent men down to the level
of workmen who are not as well skilled.
The workmen who should receive more
do not because they are bound In union
to hold up incompetent men. They
force employers to pay poor laborers
more than they earn. Their aim is to
get shorter hours and do as little work
for the employer as possible. They do
not earn salaries. This practice in
unionlsm Is a school for thleyery."
There Is a world of truth In that, The
guilds Of the middle ages were designed
TO create q class Of skilled workmen in
the various crafts. The purpose Of the
union OF modern times seems to be to
place the unsllllled where the skilled
formerly worked.

THE TOWERM4N'.S WORK.
NeSo System Big improvement Over
Cumbersome Bars and Rods.

The mechanism OF OF the new electrically
operated switch towers such as that recently
installed at the Seth street station of the Brooklyn
elevated lines. IS nearly complicated as mechan-
ISM employed in locking a bank vault or safe The

eray TO be seen in the switch towers OF railroads.
are more like small cranks arranged IN double
row on what at first glance would seem 10 be the
edse or a remarkably sturdy table. On account Of
'e system adopted here Of interloCking the various
switches. the proper combination must be correctly
set in the first instance before the switch can be
manipulated either way by the operator IN the
tower.
When the new tower was first erected, and before
the system was working on the regular service, It
SO happened that II became necessary for certain
switch 10 be thrown by the agency of the new ap-
paratus. At this early stage in the replacing Of
the old system with the new. It was impossible
ION the operator 70 have learned oil the different
combinations essential 20 the manipulation OF all
tho switches which were TO be placed IN his
charge OF course. # so happened that tho par
tiCular combination now required OF him IN this
instance was among the number which he had not
vet the opportunity 10 master So long the
operator could think OF that combination there
was no other means by which the switch could bo
moved from its present position. and for while
Il looked as = the entire line would be tied up in
definitely. Before the situation, however, began 10
assume serious aspect the problem was solved by
2 bright idea occurring TO the operator He called
Ey contractor who nad put IN the plant, on tno
TELEPHONE and asked him 10 look UP IN his plans
the proper combination for the throwing OF the
speciac switch IN the plant at the 36th sta
ton The contractor did this aud reported the
answer back over the telephone TO the operator IN
the tower, who promptly threw the switch without
further trouble.
AT the present time. however, there IS the
slightest chance OF similar situation recurring. as
the combinations corresponding 10 all tho switches
involved are written out a vertical board nun
ming the length Of the switch table, and IN plain
view Of the operator, standing by the two rows Of
cranks.
The operator stands with the rows OF cranlIs
directly in froot Of him, and within reach Of
Ais hands, hut his head IS turned at right angles

continuously through one OF the large side windows
