SOLD OUT.

The HERALD PAMPHLET, of which
1000 copies were lately printed, are all
sold, except fewcopies. The remark
able sale and great demand for these
pamphlets have caused the company to
determine to print another 1000. Bus
mess men find that they can answer
inquiries from abroad more satisfac-
torily and cheaper by using these
pamphlets than by letters. More val
liable information is contained in one
of these pamphlets about our county
than can be found in any other writ
ing.

Self.Culture.

One of the simplest means of arriv-
ing at a knowledge of what branches
are deemed requisite by our best edu-
Gators is to get a catalogue of Harvard,
Yale or Vassar, and see what text
books are used. When one has gone
through the regular course of study as
laid down in the catalogues, one will
be able to direct intelligently ones
own course Of reading. Mrs. Somer-
Vile was her. own teacher even in
those branches where a pupil was
deemed most necessary, and she was
the acknowledged equal of the greatest
scientists Of Europe. - OBJ. 1911
THE SCANDINAVIAN LATTER-DAY
SAINTs.-The Salt Lake Tribune says
the Scandinavian element of the Nor
mon Church, embracing about one
fourth Of the membership, is fostering
to rebellion against Brigham Young.
They are hardy, honest, industrious,
law-abiding people. But the large
majority of them suffer a fearful de-
privation in being unable to read or
speak our language. They have no
literature within reach, no access TO
Isl the thought of the age, no knowledge
of what is doing in the world. The
priesthood use them for their own sell
fish purposes, to pay tithing, to con-
tribute to the emigration fund and to
help swell the census tables. No in
tellectual aliment is provided for
them, no care taken for their advance
lnent, no instruction given them in
the political institutions of our
country.

DISdSTER BY HOOD.

The great destruction of life and property
by the storm at Pittsburgh is alone sufficient
to rank the event among extraordinary occur
rences. But the brief accounts we have of the
disaster render it still more striking. In trOp
ical regions, and on vast plains like those of
the West, the occurrence of a destructive hur-
ricane in which wind, rain and hail
unite in inlicting damage, can scarcely
be called unusual. p Nor is it matter
for the greatest surprise when o city
built beside river is more or less involved
in destruction by that rivers sudden overflow
Least of all is there any for surprise when
villages that nestle near the base of an i'm
perfectly constructed reservoir, are swept away
when the pent-up waters burst their barriers
The force of hurricane is accumulated over
n wide extent of sea orkplain, usually taking
the form of a cyclone, and acquiring intensity
and violence with the increasing speed Of its
rotary motion. The flood that raises river
above its banks or bursts the bounds of res
ervoir, is the accumulated rain that has fallen
over large district. But no such explona-
ton seems fully applicable in the case of
Pittsburgh and Allegheny City. Situated in
the midst of an amphitheater formed by half
encircling mountains, these cities appear to
have been whelmed in the torrents from sim
plo rain storm and the wonder is that the
volume of water thus suddenly poured down
their streets should have been sufficient to
sweep away SO many buildings and inhict such
loss Of life.
Until further details are received it is i'm
possible to judge whether any human skill
could have foreseen and provided against
such disaster. 1t is doubtless an exag-
gerated instance of type Of storms not tin
usual in mountainous regions. In some cases
where an extraordinary outpour of sudden
rain has been recorded, it has been ac-
counted for by the meeting of two heavily
charged clouds; of course IL this meeting took

The plague of lOousts or grasshOppers-and
it is noticeable that our correspondent finds
these terms interchangeable among the farmers
of the VESTS very fully described on our
second page. Happily the devastation they
have caused is limited chiefly to frontier
counties of Minnesota and Iowa, and, though
very severe in some localities. is not so wide
spread as was at first reported. In the careful
detail of the habits of the insect there appear
also many features which arc hopeful. The
practice of sweeping the fields with ropes
seems to have been attended, where 1T was
thoroughly tried, with excellent results 1t is
especially matter of encouragement that the
insects do not appear to make permanent
Judgment on the afflicted fields; that after
their first visit from the adjoining praires last
wear, and the Matching of the brood that has
inflicted so much damage this year, there is
little further to be feared for perhaps many
years to come. The present brood OF insects
does not appear to be depositing eggs. Lastly,
in case the eggs should be deposited, expert
ence has shown that thorough Overturning
of the soil will render them comparatively
harmless. What is just now most needed is
prompt assistance to the sufferers by this
visitation. These include not only the farm
ers whose fields have been ravaged, but also
| the retail merchants, whose interests are
| identical with those of their customers. 1t
would be not only charitable but iudicous for
Eastern creditors to give them all possible
indulgence during the present season. They

PARTISAN PROMISE And PERFORMANCE.
The absence of any relation, however col
lateral or remote, between the promises of
the platforms and addresses upon which pOliti-
cal parties carry on their campaigns, and the
acts of the same parties when they reach
power. has had copous illustration during the
past two years. Even the Democrats, who,
with the great stake of full restoration to
popular confidence and political control almost
in their grasp, and only little temporary self
denial required to attain it, might be supposed
to be upon their good behavior, have failed to
fulfill the conditions and only illustrated the
instincts of insincerity and dishonesty where
ever the popular vote has given them the Oppor
tunty. In New Hampshire the protestatlons of
honesty and an unmixed desire for reform
upon which they succeeded in the election,
were followed by dsgraceful scramble for
Office which needed nothing but the lowest
considerations of partisanship. In Connect-
cut they have used victory tor the same base
purposes and, after the loudest professions
of belief in the right of local self-g0vernment
have forced upon the City of New Haven a
partisan charter which they refused to sub
NIT to a vote of the people. Wherever they
have had opportunity they have exhibited the
same perversity of character and dishonesty
of disposition. The New Hampshire Con-

CARLISM IN THE FRENCH CABINET

CfRLISM IN THE FHENCH CIDINEI'
1t is possible that the MacMahOn Govern
ment may now be induced to take few
moments from their labor of defeating the
popular will at Versailles to pay some atten-
ton to the war against Spain, which has been
for the past year carried on from French
territory. AS long as no one but the Govern
ment of SerranO complained of the conduct of
French authorities in the Pyrenees, the Cabi-
net of Marshal MacMahOn might naturally
think there was no need of listening. Spain
is in no condition to avenge her own griev-
ances. The Serrano administration, which may
90 out next week, is hardly entitled to courtesy
from one endowed with the comparative i'm
mortality of q Septennate. But the case
is very different when great Powers
of undoubted position begin to find
fault with the illicit relations existing
between Versailles and the peripatetic court
of Don Carlos The German Government has
ordered feet down to the Biscayan coast to
see if something cannot be done to prevent
the repetition of Carlst atrocities like the
recent murder of DR.. Schmidt, the correspond
ent of German paper in the insurgent
army, who was shot, it seems, out of mere
wantonness. Lord Russell, whose name has
still decided force and authority out of En-
gland, has called upon the Ministry of the
Queen to protest against the vailed hostility
to the present Government of Spain which il

Hogarth's picture Of Calais Gate is for sale in
England, and having been cleaned. is as perfect as
when it left the painters easel. The artist Firth
mplores the National Gallery not to let slip this OPP
portunty Of acquiring this fine work. 1t ought to
give Americans .pangs of regret to reflect that we
continually lose the chances OF possessing such
prizes. Calais Gate, known to Americans through
an occasional print. would be an exceedingly vslua
BILE acquisition for our Museum. 1t is one of Ho-
garths very best works. free Of the bitter playful
ness that so often animated his brush-the savage
humor that the loyal Englishman Of his time was
bound to show to the foreign gentleman he called
Monsieur Froggy. The lean, lank French sentinel
at the Gate with his bowl of soup maigre and his
meager face all establishment at the great piece of
roast beef advancing toward him. is q figure
thoroughly characteristic of the artist and of his
day and the picture is less interesting that in
the Englishman sketching at the Gate we are told
to recognize the satiIlcal Hogarth himself.

No one would advise the Brooklyn Com
mittee of Investigation to act in haste, but it
is equally true that no one can help seeing
that the longer the public attention is kept
fastened to this most unsavOry matter the
worse it will be for the public good. A'thou-
sand scraps of unclean gossip which have been
floating about for years ID the depths Of GER
tain circles are now rising to the surface, and
in the general demand for news in regard to
this matter, are getting universal currency.
Things which decent people would not listen
to nor repeat year or two ago, are now
printed and publicly discussed. A story which
seems too vile for a woman's lips was yester-
day resurrected and started anew on a wider
course of travel, ostensibly by one of Mr.
Tilton's friends and associates in the cause of
social and political reform. SO far as it refers
to Mr.. Tilton'S utterances, it may be true; for
it appears that he has been for a long time
shutting his wife's character and literally
fouling his own hearthstOne. But as far as
this gossip duplicates Mrs. TltOn the testi-
mony is only secondhand, and when it is
confirmed by its alleged source, people will
decide for themselves whether they will be-
heve any of it.
