But Mcknight was growing sulky;

did not speak again until he brought

wELL,1aN,s JOURNEY.

g. T.. =. Z q
n Walter Wellnan succeeds In cross
Ing the Atlantic in n dirigible balloon
he will accomplish the most remark
able feat on record since Noah braved
the dangers OF the deep. But 1t can
hardly be believed possible. after the
many recent fatalities. that air navi-
cation has advanced far enough TO
justify the attempt. 4
Wellmun's balloon has a number OF
safety devices designed to lessen the
perils OF such a journey. One OF these
consists of an appendix of water-tight
vessels which drags upon the surface
OF the sea. The lower the craft the
more weight of the equllbrator is
taken up by the water causing the
vessel to rise: the height is therefore
constant and no abnormal stresses are
impressed upon the gas bag.
This is something new. and the
practlcability of the device Is put to a
severe test at this time. The strange
part is that no vessel has been chart
cred to accompany the balloon and to
rescue the aviators In case OF acci-
dent. The balloon carries life boat.
but an accompanying vessel would
have been more satisfactory ar
one would suppose. for an
attempt of that kind. particularly as
the aviator has chosen a time of the
year when fierce storms can be OK
pected in the Atlantic.
Since the above was written the re-
port has been received that Mr.. Well
man was picked out OF the ocean, hay
ing been driven far out Of his COURSE
Undoubtedly his experience will be the
basis OF a good newspaper story.

DRIVE THEM OUT.

"a ~ 81 %
We join the Herald Republican in
the demand: Drive out the Grim
5inals!''
That Is Just what Is needed in Salt
Lake. The plea OF tho chief for more
policemen because the force Is made
iquate, is nonsense. II Salt Lake has
one officer for each 1000 Inhabitants,
which would mean about one for each
400 grown up men, 1t has a very ample
force. In 1870 the City had one police
man for each 1000 .inha bitants, and at
that time II enjoyed the reputation OF
being the best ordered and governed
City In tho United Gates. with tha
criminal list lower than any place OF Its
size. Before anti "Mormonism' became
rampant here, one policeman for each
1000 Inhabitants was ample. The REM
edy, therefore, Is not more policemen
but. Drive out the criminals"
And It should be remembered thai
the nests in which crimes nre bred
must receive due attention. The hell
holes that have been defended us q
necessary evil" must be closed. The
rooming houses that have harborcd all
kinds of bad and dangerous characters
ought to be thoroughly ventilated and
cleaned. The saloons ought To be made
to conform strictly to6 the poor laws
we have for their regulation, and J.:
they refuse to do so. they should be
closed promptly There is no greater
crime breeder than the saloon. In drlv-
ing the criminals out. their nests ought
to he closed up as far as possible.
But that presupposes officers who are
elected by the people. for the benefi.
of the people, and not for their own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Ut presupposes the
election OF officers who understand
their duty to be to keep down crime
and not to foster it for election pur-
poses. Salt Lake needs n thorough
cleaning up, such as we cannot look
for at the hands of its present regime,
which is so lost in "Aformonism8
that It has no eye for the deplorable
condition that exists.

The only vigilance committee Salt
Lake should have Is the police depart
ment. for which tho people pay an ex-i
orbitant sum every year. II the po-
lice we're permitted to do their full
duty. there would not be need OF any
other vigilance committee. and the es '-

az the law would DO one OF the greatest
calamities Imaginable 1t would mean
