It Is Swinburne's fate that today the

heart was of another day, while his
mind was genius. He dwelt in the
absolute realms of art, where there
are no degrees of comparison. He set
a new standard for English lyrics. He
discovered new beauties in the tongue

The marvellous musical possibilities
of English prosody which Poe herald

a superb art. Poe was the morning
star, Swinburne the refulgent sun OF
that new day which cannot die with

the surge of the sea which he loved

New York, April 17.-In the ordinary
pastoral. which occupies space in the
magazines in the foolish season the
kind-faced COW, which extends her
head over the bars OF the farmyarl
fence. always says ''Moor'-short and
crisp. with only two o's and an excla-
nation point. But this particular COW
began with something that sounded
more like "Moooooo"-longer, and
rather pathetic sounding.
Several hundred of Jersey folk from
Montclair Heights and Upper Mont
clair and Montclair itself and all the
settlements on this and the other side
of the Montclairs were on an Erie fer
~ boat yesterday morning when they
first heard this pathetic ''Moooooo.'
To be exact, they heard it when they
were running from the train to catch
the boat. And they heard it as they
passed down the gangway onto the
boat and It became louder and longer
and more persuasive as the boat slid
out of her slip and headed for 23rd
street on this side
Praying Notes Of sMooooooooo!"
meanwhile, SMUT up IN perfectly
good crate as crates go and loaded. on
an express wagon was the finely bred
Jersey cow from which came, at short
ening intervals, the pleading, urging,
begging. almost praying notes OF tina,
'sMooooooooooooooo.
And Just then there emerged from
the cabin well dressed man or medi-
urn height, who walked over to the ex-
press wagon and in q quiet, pleasant
voice said two magic words $50, boss. .

DIXIE NEEDS A RAILROAD.

st. George gave a fruit festival Sep
TENDER ninth and tenth which must
have been immensely attractive. From
all accounts there was a display that
would have done credit to any county
in any state Of the Union. There was
an abundance of provision which we
wish might have been a little more
nearly consumed. The people who re-
manned away missed something which
would have enriched their memories
forever.
Such celebrations are not going to be
seen every year. Times change, and the
day viii come when a Dixie fruit fes-
tival will be a matter of history alone.
We believe the effect Of the show, and
the enterprise evinced by the people of
Dixie, moves them vastly nearer to the
day of a railroad. That is all they
need. They are putting their land
under irrigation by the hundred thou
sand acres. They are providing city
water, and city lights. They are going
to compel the rest of the world to get

back of him, than would even an equal
ly good man without any partisan af-
filiation? They want good government,
They can not in any other way be
so nearly assured Of getting it as by
giving their support to the party which
has every inducement in the world to
wisely and well govern the city; the
party which fights no man because of
his religion; the party which is capabIy
conducting the affairs of the county,
and of the state, and Of the nation.
They want good government. The
most they can hope for, holding out in
the way they have started, will be the
success of the American ticket. For
they will have to regard that as better
than Republican victory. And they
are very curious people if they will
prefer another term of the American
party in Salt Lake when they can es-
cape it by the success Of Republicans.
They want good government Let
them prove that by helping set good
government; by recognizing that the
city has not rallied to their cause; by
realizing that they can not have even
one candidate who is running on any
other ticket; by massing their forces
where they Will do the most good for the
redemption of the city from the party
Of hatred. That is the way for them
to get good government.

may not be just what is the matter with
them. But it has that appearance.
In any event, the reiterated effort to
excuse the President for any part in the
plan makes it plain they are shooting at
someone, though they are not very clear
in indicating their target. May we be
pardoned for thinking they arc shoot
ing at the committee that did make the
arrangements?
Let US assume that is the case. and
proceed.
The ministers protest against having
the President speak on the holy Sab
bath day. Yet they all intend speaking
on that day. Do they think they are
any better speakers than is the Presi-
dent? Do they think they are going
to break their habit and say anything
more worth listening to than what will
be heard from the nations chief execu-
tive? Because we tell them frankly
they would have bigger audiences Sun
day if the people generally believed
them capable Of any such superiority.
And then they protest. against the
hour But the hour was fixed uncom-
fortably early out of regard to the min
isteTs,@ and because they represented
they wanted to be present in the Presi-
dents audience, and yet did not want
their regular morning services inter-
fered with. As a matter of fact, the
meeting at the tabernacle can be at
tended. and yet the people-ministers
and parishioners-can attend their ac-
customed services.
Let us suggest to the ministers who
have protested that there are some
thousands Of men here in the city whom
we have been trying to persuade to 90
to church-with or without success
and who could not attend the Presi-
dents public meeting or hear him speak
if the speaking had not been arranged
for the Sabbath day. As it is. they VIII
hear him, And that is what they want
to do.
The statement that the meeting in
terferes with Sunday schools is a little
insincere, since few if any of the local
Sunday schools of the Mormon
churches are held in the forenoon.
Taken altogether, the protest reads
like the emanation Of men who want to
find fault; who have determined not to
be pleased, and who propose to make
some sort Of capital out of the situation.
And whether or not that was their
intention, we desire TO add that it is a
great honor to salt Lake to have the
President i'm the city. Our people are
trying their best to make his stay
pleasant, and, in a worthy sense. profit

of attracting attention may get ugly
on the occasion of a visit from the Pres
ident Of the United States, and so get

ALEWA HEIGHTS
SALE LIVELY
Government Lots Bring Prices
Twice Over the Upset
Figures.

Fourteen government lots, all there
were left on Alewa Heights, were sold
at public auction yesterday by Land
Commissioner Pratt, the prices realized
being appreciably higher than those
which obtained at the first sale in that
district and averaging twice the upset
price. Altogether, fourteen lots, com
prising 22.32 acres, brought 1895,
which is 1886 over the total of the
upset price placed upon them by the
Commissioner. This is striking evil
dence of the way in which real estate
is moving in Honolulu.
The first lot put up was number 81,
one of the best. The upset price had
been fixed at 1855, but lively bidding
soon carried it away above this figure
and it was finally knocked down to R.
II. Leach for $1005. Only two of the
lots went at the nominal one dollar
advance, the rest bringing from twenty
to three hundred per cent. over the
upset figure.
The lots sold, their purchasers, the
prices paid and the advances these
were over the upset prices are:
