r r U TIL S

A little while ago Truth published
the fact that the Tribtine had made
overtures to the Mormon church for
a cessation of the fight for revenge
which Mr.. Kearns has been making
on the Mormons ever since the head
of their church refused to use his in
fluence for the reelection of Mr..
Kearns to the United Sta.es senate
Truth also published the further fact
that the Tribune had been turned
down and that the church people
would have no truck with it what
ever.
In its desperation to find soft
spot to light on, knowing as it does
that the Jig is up" with the "Ameri-
can party, it is now making PROPOSE
tions to the more prominent men OF
the republican party with view of
dtching the american" party and
getting back as a republican party
organ. The meanness and duplicity
of course such as this is unspeak-
able. 1t is what might reasonably be
expected from the Tribune gang
There is no chance of the republicans
listening to any proposition the Tri-
bune may make. Any party that
would go into such a corrupt and
treacherous compact as the Tribune
desires or would make any deal at
all with such a paper as the Tribune
has of recent years become is de-
serving of utter defeat and contempt
and scorn besides. The Tribune since
it has found that it and its corrupt
boodling gang cannot rule the "Amcr
lean party is now going to wreck it
that is if it needs any further wreck
ing than it has already sustained
And all this in the face of Mr. Kearns'
recent proclamation or manifesto that
he and his Tribune would continue in
the course it had been pursuing for
several years until they had made
Utah an "Amerikearns" state.

A WOMAN'S MARBLE.
By Roma.

Salt Lake is hustling about at an
express rate. In addition to the
Busiest times at the Resorts"
amusements of non-classical char
actor, weird sensations in the divorce
courts, a thrilling telegraphers' strike,
an army of masons and bricklaycrs
pulling down buildings to erect pa.
latial edifices, and p. J. Moran busy
with the latest street improvements
knights of the hammer and the little
yellow boys" bring desolation and
dust in their train and make such
Il maddening noise But we submit
cheerfully for the sake of "Our City
Beautiful"
The fall and winter sales will soon
be on to the delight of the She
shoplfter," whose nimble fingers will
soon get busy" tucking away if
petticoat crevices, anything from
bed-sheet to side comb. Let the
floor walkers beware of the smooth"
little lady, and know her game.
The scene of kimonas deserves spec
ial mention involving the most SEN
sational serio comic, changes of the
day. The strike of the Kens.ng
ton Housewives" caused by the
pranks of naughty man who IL
sisted on putting in new boiler,
when thirty-nine petite housewives
needed hot water. In consequence
OF which portly matrons and curl
papered maids Struck" Hubbies
were riled, but all came out thru the
timely and tactful interference of
Dame Fate.
Can anyone alleviate the suffering
of the Weary and Detected Strap
holder?' She says a seat in our city

This is the season for artificial
flowers. Our hats are loaded with
rainbow punches. In the dressy parts
of our city cafes the fashionables
look like flower garden tragedy.

PENNSY SUES NEW HAVEN.
Other Carriers Also Appeal 10 Inter
state Commerce Commission.

That railroads. as well as shippers. in
tend TO take advantage Of the ratemak-
ing power, conferred upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the Hepburn
act is clearly indicated in the case
brought before the commission by the
Pennsylvania system. the New York
Central Company, and other carriers.
In this case the cOmplainants seek TO
compel the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company TO continue
an agreement made with connecting
roads. whereby a per diem allowance is
paid for foreign cars used on its lines.
The complainants not only seek To in
yoke the provisions of the interstate
commerce act TO compel the New Haven
road to abide by the agreement. but they
petition the commission to determine
what shall constitute "a reasonable pay
mcnt to be made by one railroad to an
other for the use by the former Of the
latter's cars delivered to It" incident TO
the interchange of traffic.
IL is the first case instituted since the
Hepburn act became effective where one
carrier has sought to have the ratemak-
ing power tried out on an another car
rier. and is said 10 be the second pro-
ceeding of the kind instituted during the
life of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. 1t foreshadows a determination
it is believed. on the part of the rail
roads TO use the commission in the fu-
ture as an agency in the settlement OF
disputes between themselves.

had been hidden Christmas night behind
one Of the tan signboards in that lonely
