THE SMooT RUBBISH.

The affected scare that Smoot and
some of his henchmen are trying to
get up to the effect that articles in
the Eastern magazines. particularly, it
appears, the articles by former Senator
Frank j. Cannon in Everybody's Maga-
zine, are frightening people and weak
ening confidence in Utah investments,
is the merest rubbish, of course. IT
is n good deal like the old saying Of
a boy reluctant TO get into his cold
bed on a winter night, putting in one
foot, then soaring himself in by shout
ing "Ratsln And "rats" it is.
There is not the remotest chance Of
anyone with sense enough to invest
money at all taking such a view as
that the Cannon articles or indeed
of any articles that have been printed
in regard to Utah cause distrust of in
vestments in Utah. Everyone knows
that. so far as investments are con
cerned, they are fully protected by
law. Everyone knows that, no matter
what view might be taken as to the
y
to the attitude of the hierarchy on
various questions, and with respect to
the claims made by the present presi-
dent of the Mormon church as to his
temporal rule, there is not the slightest
disposition in this or any other quarter
TO unsettle the stability Of investments.
Not only this, the State courts here
arc a full protection to investors, while
with respect to investments that come
from other States. the arm OF the Fed
eral judiciary is just as strong here as
it is anywhere else in the Republic.
The attempted sensation that Smoot
and his Federal bunch are trying TO
get up with respect to this matter is
simply a political dodge, contemplate
in itself and so lacking in all elements
of sense. reason and fact, that its
political malevolencc is equaled only
by its stupidity,

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The city council is doing excellent
work in forwarding the programme of
public improvements for the city this
year These include new street paw
ing; the renewal and bettering Of paw.
ing already laid; in substantial addi-
tions to the sidewalking and sewer e1.
tensions, and improvements where
needed, The sewer extension will be-
come imperative for the capitol and for
the new high school. These improve
ments fit in nobly with the magnifi-
cent building plans detailed in The
Tribune on Wednesday morning, includ-
ing the new capitol building. the Uni.
versity administration building, the new
high school, the new Walker block, the
Moran block, the Houston block, the
Heath block. and the Halloran.Ju Judge
store rooms. and other business struc-
lures under way and contemplated
those named involving a cost of $780,
600. The probability is that the year
will see the north and south streets
from South Temple to Third South all
paved from east to west as far as the
cast and west paving is now laid, so
as TO make a complete network of
paved streets in all this area.
There is also in this same connection
a good plan of suburban railway eX-
tensions, including the extension from
Twelfth South and Eleventh East to
Holiday. and from Tenth South and
West Temple to Twelfth South. All these
lines are of immediate and certain bene-
fit to trade and commerce facilities be.
tween the different localities involved.
Altogether, the prospects for the city
for the ensuing year in building, in
public improvements. in the extension
of street car facilities. and in every
matter going to make a great and pro
gressive metropolis are of the most bril-
liant sort. In these improvements, Salt
Lake City will shine resplendent, in the
triumphant continuation Of the mag
nificent progress that has been shown
every year for the past five years.

ILLEGAL SUITS ABANDONED.

The dispatches yesterday morning
announced the formal and official
abandonment Of the malignant and
lawless Panama libel suits. These suits
were begun at the insistence of Mr.,
Roosevelt while he was President, and
although the legal department of the
Government was reluctant to begin
these illegal and fruitless suits, he as
President stormed and contended until
the suits were brought,
His claim was that the editors of the
Indianapolis News and of the New
ington for trial in an unfriendly at
mosphere and before packed juries. He
strove with the utmost power of his
office and with the diligence which his
obstinate nature afforded him, to have
that view prevail, although it was well
known to all the legal officials who
had to do with the matter that, in a
former case, that of Charles A. Dana
Of New York, the editor of the Sun, the
principle had been fully established
from his customary domicile and taken
to some other place for trial on a charge
| like this. For, if he could be taken to
Washington, he could be taken any
where else where it could be shown that
copy of his paper had been delivered
or read. Under that sort Of rule or
practice an editor would be helpless
under the prosecutions of an unfriend
ly administration. He could be utterly
broken in fortune. his usefulness de-
stroyed, his occupation taken away
from him; successful suits in different
places would be the ruin of any editor
and punitive censorship over the
press would have been established that
would have utterly destroyed the free
dom of public discussion, whenever {
President of the pattern of Roosevelt
happened not to like what might b'
printed.
In both cases, that OF the Indianapo

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

With the opening of the spring sea
son, Salt Lake City is certainly tax
ing its place in the advanced line OF
progress, of industry, and of achieve
ment. The campaign Of building activ-
ity, Of public improvements, of subur-
ban railway extensions, is on IN full
forco. These have been set forth daily
during the week, and some arc spec
fled more fully in separate article
on this page The coming week gives
us the pure food exhibit, the aviation
meet conference, and the activities III
connection with these events.
General business in the city has been
very active, and is measured by the
phenomenal increase of 45.2 per cent IN
the bank clearauccs, as compared with
the corresponding week last year. The
boom in the building line has given
buoyancy and encouragement in every
business circle, and has been especially
helpful TO the realty dealers, who are
showing more push and better efforts
in the way of property deals than here
tofore. The building activity which
has been mentioned, is general through
out the State, and is Il feature of the
expanding business and exhilarating
progress of general advance throughout
the State.
Spring trade in every line is active
among the retail stores of the city. Not
one gives backward report. Mer-
chants are busy preparing for the big
crowds that will throDg the city the
present week on account of the attrac-
tions mentioned. Jobbers are also fully
engaged in seasonable activity.
Reclamation and other projects
throughout the State, the influx Of new
settlers which is general, the spring
shearing, all give a vigorous tone to
the reports of business and develop
ment throughout Utah,
Notice Of construction work on the
Utah and Grand Canyon railroad, which
has been christened "The Dixie
Route" has been given heretofore,
This work is being rushed with all pos
sible speed, and it is expected that
the line from Lund TO Iron Springs, a
distance of twenty-six miles, will be
opened for business within four
months.
Work on the Utah Eastern, which
will run from Wellington, Carbon coun'
ty, to Emery, in Emery county, dis
tance of sixty-fve miles, is announced
for the near future by Mr.. Henry
Wade, president of the company, who
says that a part of the grading be

already been completed

While there has been nothing Of
sensational character developed in the
mines during the past week, the news
has been uniformly favorable, showing
that the various camps Of Utah are in
splendid condition for production The
production from Bingham continues at
an unparalleled ratio, and Tintic ship
ments last week, 1877 car-lots, were a
substantial increase over the previous
week
This satisfactory underground condl-
tion is reflected in the great strength
displayed by the stocks on the Salt
Lake mining exchange. For two weeks
past there has been a restricted buying
power on practically all the listed Is
sues, and despite this fact and the
further fact that there is hardly
stock on the board that does not stand
double the price Of two months ago,
the price levels arc holding as If rooted
to their prosperity points. Proft-tak
ing is restricted to the professional ele.
ment, the public as a rule securing
stocks cheap and holding them in the
light Of an investment.
Little change is noted in the metal
situation, prices closing about the sans
as last week, and maintaining steady
but quiet tendency. Tue copper world
is beginning to speculate over the
March statistics, and it is expected that
little better showing will be made
than that of February. This means
smaller addition to the domestic sur
plus. There has been little buying OF
copper at round 121A cents, but the
consumer still seems satisfied to re-
tain his waiting attitude.
Eastern stock markets are feature
less; everyone, including even the pro-
fessionals, holding aloof pending eth
er the Supreme Court decisions shortly
expected, or a postponement OF The
trust cases over the summer without
handing down the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco decisions. In the
latter event there is chance for many
drives upward by speculators, in which
the public will doubtless participate
unless the banks draw the purse strings
tighter than they are now.
The commercial reports Indicate con
tinued gain in the volume of business
throughout the country, and in conf
dence for the future. There is no boom,
however, speculation is repressed, and
conservatism is the rule, with steady
gains, though slow. The weak spot, as
usual. is "the street, Prices there are
unsteady and weak under attack
Interest and dividend payments on
April 1st are reckoned to reach the
magnificent total Of $146,971 $40, an in
crease of more than $5,o0o,0oo over
those of April last year, These divi-
dcnds include $50, $50 ,S66 for industrial
securities, and $40,277 900 for railroads.
This shows a decrease of about $780,
| 600 in railroad dividends and gain of
more than $1,500,000 in industrials.
! This small decrease In railroad dlv1-
dends is n fat contradiction to the
| claim on the one hand, that the rail
roads are being crippled by legislation
and by the rules Of the interstate COM
! merce commission, and the contrary
CLAIM on the other hand. that by rea'
! son of such legislation and such super
vision by the commission, capital would
be safer than before, and the returns
would be greater.
