Those vho have listened to Judge Parker's cold eloquence commend him for his silence. i ' . Chief Lynch proposes to freeze out ! those fighters who are- addicted to the game of draw. " Brother Roberts wishes the commlt- tee to understand that he Is doing I wrong conscientiously. I J ' Admiral Skrydloff Is arousing much Ij enthusiasm on his way to Port Arthur, and will be a hero till he gels there, i is ! ' Pugilism which will suit both thoso who believe It should be a gentle art , " and-thoso who want to see fierce fights, - wilTbe allowed. On Arbor Day schdol children cleaned . 4200 yards, and these, with a few more to be cleaned by older people, will make thecity quite clean this season, i A Even, if the order against prlze-flght- in is based on the claim that contests have become too tame, It Is. believed that the ministers will Indorse It. i Is IL possible that Apostle Cowley, having, heard that ho was wanted In Washington, went under a mlsappre " hentlon to the State of Washington? i . When the Russian Admiral sent to take command at Port Arthur reaches ; the front ho may find that the Japs ' p 1 have arbitrarily relieved him of his command. Brother Roberts says ho did not tell ' his first and second wives of his third ; marriage, because he did, not. want to v embarrass them, but possibly he means 1 he did not want them to embarrass him. , Good people among the Democrats of ' New York evidently did not take much part in the recent Democratic cam paign in that State, the contest having been between Dave Hill and Tammany. II Wdo not remember many such days ' as yesterday, when the whole country i fronvsea 10 saa seemed to be under the I , dripping clouds. It rained here, It i rained cast. It rained west, It rained j i , north, it rained south; and It caused a li universal cold. The storm was certaln- !' ( ) ly wide spread; but fortunately there I " "arelno reports that It did any damage. If The breaking of smallpox .quarantine (!y at Price Is a most serious matter. It j; is an axtraordlnary thing that any one, )ti T ignorant as he may bo on general mat- . p ,i ters, .would not sense the danger and , if it, the outrage of his act In tearing down , j' a quarantine flag and rcleasjng persona ( ! detained as Infected and legally held as P' a menace- to the public safety. The I , ; vigorous prosecution of all concerned In 'p.. the outrage is clearly necessary, and we i , are glad to see that Dr. Beatty, In be- ,j half of tho State Board of Health, has taken Instant measures to that end. Nj A severe lesson Is needed In this case. Hid It j. T,he Just completed session of the HTi n gTand lodge of the order of Odd Fel- Hf n ( lows ln 1,1,3 c,ly was an occasIon DOth Hu' ' ' encouraging and profitable. The order H!i was shown to he in a nourishing con- i? if d,t,on and a strone Pillar of benevo- H-l' 1 int and'charilo.ble work ln Utah. The ' t session was a pleasant one, and the ' ofllcCra elected for the ensuing term ' give assurance that the Interests of i , X Odd Fellowship will be well cared for while they arc ln office. The order has Li' t J been fortunate in this respect hitherto; r 4 its officerg have been zealous and able, HlJ ' ' '' as the condition of the lodges and their i' ' i membership clearly attests. It-la doing j i j .'a splendid work In Utah, and deserveo . the good will of every citizen. t t The Russian demand that the Turks B1, j now pay a sum of four million dol- ' lars long past due, Is said to be con- Hi r strucd by Turkey as an aggression, H1 r and suspicion Is expressed that the ; move has something more Important " back of it. While It is true that Turkey Hj i I' ' always thinks something suspicious Is 1 i V V afoot when she Ih asked to pay her ,1 t bills, it Is probable that ln this case W'1 I'j the suspicion Is justified; and it may be B' h , a' put-up Job between Turkey to allow KW 'I what the Sultan In fact want to al- W ' Jdw, the passage through the Darda nelles, and Bosporus of-.the Russian Black Sea fleet. The pressure to pay the money could be applied, Turkish Inability to relievo pleaded, and then as a concession to relieve the situation and let the debt run on, Turkey would with professed unwillingness but renl alacrity concode Russia's demand for the passage of her warships. Things are not always what they appear to be. THE PUBLIC MUST1 DO ITS DUTY. i As stated locally In The Trlbuno yes terday, there Is a good deal of confusion existing in this city in the matter of. hauling garbage away from private premises. In some cases, as we are In formed, the city garbage wagons will not be taken into the back yards of peo ple to haul away garbage, even If the people arc willing to pay for having It done. In other cases, so we hear, the city wagons go Into back yards of pri vate premises and haul away the gar bage free. There should be a general, uniform rule about thls, and it should be en forced. The chef thing-to be kept in mind Is to make it as easy as possible for the householder to get his premises cleaned up, and not as difficult. Ono of the hardest things to have done In this city is to get the ordinary garbage hauled away dally, the polato peelings, the corn husks, and the like, In tho summer time. We saw last summer many places where such stuff lined the outer portion of the sidewalks, with swarms of files about It, and It stayed there day after day, often giving forth an offensive fimell. The blame was plainly to bo laid at the door of the man who drove the garbage wagon, and was supposed to collect such wasto prompt ly, and haul It away. Or at least, If not to him directly, then to the one In charge of his work. There Is a constant and just demand that the city should be kept clean. It Is a demand that should beenforced; It must be enforced if we are to have a city free from epidemics. But the resi dents must be helped; they must have facilities to get their garbage disposed of. Every one cannot keep his own garbage wagon; It is fair that the city should provide that for him, and that its visits should be made at least once a day. The city should also protect the gar bage cans from tho depredations of hoodlums, who are at times disposed in their hilarity to destroy them or carry them off, emptying the contents on the sidewalk or in the street. This and other general oversight should be pro vided by the city. Then punish the one who fails or refuses to obey the require ment to clean up and keep clean. But until the city does Its part, talk is Idle; the Individual ought not to be expected to do what the community as a whole refuses to do. The private obligation Is certainly no greater than that of the public. Clean up, and keep clean, but let the city provide the means whereby this may be done. The report of tree planting on Arbor day by the school pupils of this city Is a very gratifying one. Even more gratifying .la the report that the pupils cleaned up -120D o'Jirds. They planted 20,076 trees. And now to keep those trees allvel Wouldn't it be a good Idea for the teachers, the principals, or somebody ln authority; to keep tab on those trees, so that, the public may know by next Arbor day how many of them are then alive? If it turns out that a great proportion of them are dead, the next duty plainly would be to find a remedy; to plant fewer trees, perhaps, and see. that those planted are kept alive. That, after all,' Is the main point. It Is not material how many trees are planted, if they don't grow; It is those that survive that counL We presume that Jt is not intended to pass, through the Senate the bill to make two States out of the four Terri tories of Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Arizona, and New Mexico. Tho House passed tho bill on Tuesday, but It Is not in the least likely that It can be reached In the Senate at this session, when so many things arc pressing for attention in the closing days'. It Is a bad disposi tion to make of the subject, anyway; and It Is most likely that when, the Sen ate reaches the subject at its next ses sion, the bill will be 'amended so jls to admit Oklahoma alone as a State, and probably Arizona and New Mexico sep arately. A bad Jumble would result from any other course. The House has covered the Panama .situation very well by taking out the text of the Senate bill for governing the canal strip, and putting In place of It the section passed for the Government of the Louisiana purchase, by Congress ln 1893, This gives the President com plete power and will cover all emergen cies. Tho preliminaries for the formal transfer of the French Interests aro about complete, and the final steps will be taken within a very few days now. But If It takes a year, as some Intimate, to put the zone in sanitary condition to allow men to work there, as some are now saying, the beginning to dig Is far off yet. y Germany has adopted a proposition to Improve her consular service by adding expert commercial advisers and the promotion and organization of German chambers of commerce abroad. In the argument for this measure the course of the United States In appointing for consuls men of practical affairs was re ferred to as a worthy model. So that It Is only ln our own country that our consular system Is thought to be un worthy, and even here It Ib only those who prefer the system that other na tions have had but now wish to discard, who denounce our consular system, However, this Is a practical nge, and no matter hpw much tho theorists who would like to see a regular American diplomatic service established, with tho consuls appointed from young students for that service, our Government Is not In the least likely to make the pleaded for change. As long as we have a con sular service which Is the envy of the world, we need not mind what the aca demic idea would prefer. CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENTS. The House Committee on Reform In the Civil Service has authorized Mts chairman, Representative Frederick H Glllett,"to Introduce a bill making the nge limit for olvll service employees seventy years. When tho employee reaches that nge, out ho goes, without regard to efficiency or Influence. Tt will cause a general --suppression of ages among the employees, or else much "turning back of the clock of the yearn." , .Doubtless the bill, If passed, would help the service very much In Washing ton. It would help It a great deal more if It provided that no successor should be appointed to any of thoso let out on account of age, until the total number of employees shown at present to be in the public employ is reduced at least fifty per cent, and sixty per cent w.ould be even a bettor standard. Of course, a good many of the clerks at seventy arc as good as they ever were, which is not necessarily very high praise; but their displacement would clear the way for new appointees, and the old and decrepit thus displaced would bo no doubt left to shift for themselves. Or, Is It the programme to provide for civil service pensions? In the case of the officers of Die army and the navy who are retired on the age limit, half pay for life Is granted. Why not some such rule In the civil service? The rea son Is that the persons in It enjoy es pecial favor all their long lives (and one who lives to seventy may fairly be said to have lived long), occupying places that others covet; and when a kindly Government has done that much, it ought not to be asked to do more. In the same connection, It Is stated that all bills granting pensions to civil service employees nrc to be reported with the recommendation that they He on the table. This may or may not mean their defeat. At all events. It shows that the movement In favor of such pensions Is alive and active, ns there are a number of such bills pending, all of which deserve defeat. But the ago retirement bill, with an amendment as suggested, that will re duce the employees in tho departments at Washington by at least one-half, would be of great service In the dis patch of tho public business. As mat ters are now, there are so many, and the number of burcauy, divisions and subdivisions Is so great, that to find anything ln thc crowd Is like going Into a dense forest to pick out some partic ular tree that ono may have hoard of; the very multiplicity of trees makes fu tile the keenest search. THE FACING BOTH WAYS PXRTY. ' Bryan declares that the Parker in structions by tho New York Democratic convention will not strengthenn Parker as a candidate; that the platform adopt ed ought to beat him, unless the Demo crats Intend to play at St. Louis a con fidence game on the public. That being the case, Parker's chances are bright: for the very thing which the Democrats are most adept In is playing a confi dence game on the public. There has never been a time when the party would have done what it claims It would do, even had Bryan been elected; while for a sample of what the party does In spite of its promises, ono has to go no further back than the time when the Democracy elected Cleveland ln 1S92 on a silver platform, and at once pro ceeded to smash silver. They couldn't even wait till the regular session to do it, but President Cleveland called an ex tra session of Congress ln tho summer for the purpose. Bryan's. statement of the case as tp Parker and the bunko platform on which the New York delegates were in structed for him. expresses exactly the favorite Democratic dodge, and leaves no doubt at all of Parker's nomination. In order to make It an absolute cinch, and a unanimous nomination by accla mation, all that will bo necessary will be to show the delegates that by nomi nating Parker and Indorsing tho New. York platform they will be facing both ways, and then the thing is as good as done. A recent writer, discussing the fall of Spain into a place among tho nations that counts any way from third down wards, attributes her former greatness to "purely artificial means," with the In timation that her fall began when that artificiality would no longer serve. That Is a superficial view. Spain was In the lead of all the world until by her des postlc greed nnd Intolerance she drove from her borders not only her best thought and enterprise, but all the truo Independence of character that dared to manifest itself. She banished the Jews, her best commercial, men, and with them untold wealth was taken from the country, and the Inquisition burnt out all manifestations of freedom of mind. All the best and most enterprising men of Europe would gladly have gone to Spain had she permitted, and they would have put her on the pinnacle of "domination for the world, and kept her there. The New World was hers by discovery, and the Old World Would have been hcrsby attraction, but she would not have It so. Spain fell, not by any other means than her own perver sity and malevolence. !

Salt no. more melts Ice than- Ice melts salt. For centuries It has been known that when certain swlld bodies are brought together there Is a powerful tendency to combine, and heat Is drawn from all surrounding sources as well as from the latent store existing In the substances themselves. A freezing mixture Is the result, the heat dropping till that from tho exter nal and internal sources Is- sufficient to keep pace with the melting. Fahrenheit lr. 17G2 made use of a melting mixture when he secured what was then thought to be absolute cold and consequently marked the freezing point on his thermometer at 32 degrees.
