SHOOTS FOOLISH TALK.

The foolish and malicious talk which
Apostle Smoot made prior to the op-
cning of the session of Congress, where
in he attacked and maligncd the in
surgentS, has attracted a good deal Of
attention throughout the United States;
and the general consensus is that Smoot
made an awful ass Of himself in that
talk. He will no doubt hear from it
later on III the Senate III way that
Will make his cars burn, for he laid
himself open to, in fact invited. the
most bitter reprisaIs. And the Scna

SO urgently and copspcnouslv urged
by the Salt Lake Real Estate Associa'

it would seem as though there could be
no doubt about its designation As a

1t is expected that three brigade
posts will be established west of the
Rocky Mountains. Fort Douglas is the
most fayorably situated of any point
where The Government has a military
reservation for one of these fun brig
