THE C1TYs BORROWING POWER.

The city OF St. Louis has just sold
at a premium on Their par value a
large issue of bonds, drawing only D
per cent. interest per annum. Self
Lsks C.ty is paying 10 per cent. in
terest Cor money, and is now negoh-
a!ing Or more, for which it will also
probably have TO pay 10 II ct.
Louis can get money for per cent.
salt Lake certainly ought to OBJ
tain all it needs for a good
deal less than 10. The former
alrea y has large bonded debt,
while tae sum owed by this city is
not go large bat that il could be paid
at almost any time.
And this is one matter that the
Legislature, at its present session.
should provide ior. We believe the
city Is IoR paying interest on about
all the money that the charter per
mits it to borrow. At ths same time,
the corporation has undertaken the
con,trU. ton OF canal that must cost
in the neighborhood of $2O0,O It
is true, toe territory and Salt Lake
County shoUl1 and probably viii each
contribute largely in behalf of the
enterprise. yet tho city must nece5-
sarily incur obligations not authorized
by the law as It non stands. Relief
can only come from the Legislature in
the shape OF an amendment 10 the
charter or some act authorizing the
borrowing Of more money. The policy
OF the territory has ever been to keep
out Of debt, and the legislators have
guarded municipal treasuries even
more vigllsn.ly than that OF the
serritrTy. The policy that has hsen
pursued Is 4 good one and has met
with The warm appreciation of the
peopl ; but the time hiss come
for SOMETHING of departure
from the rule in the case OF
Sals LAKE.. This city should have
authority TO issue bonds for a reason.
able amount, and thus reduce the
interest charge, and at the same time
obtain. without 0 ating the law, the
money that must be had for necessary |
improvements. It is no argument to |
say We can get along without certain |
things until We can pay for them.
Had the Salt Lake a3d Jordan Canal |
Been open last spring, almost its en-
tire cost would have been saved to the |
people Of the city. It is sn act of wise
fnanciering TO crowd the enterprise to
completion before another disastrous
season is upon US. 1t would be highly
improper to let down the bars
and permit the City Council to
-evel without limit in the borrowing
business; but tbs door ought to be
opened wider than it is, whatever dis
rect guards may be thrown around it.
A Sal. Lake City bond bearing res-
enable Interest,", 6 or z per cent
7ould sell st par at home and abroad.
We believe a considerable loan, prob
ly sll that would be required, would I
e taken ia the city itself, where more
securities than can now be
2und, are needed, and where shere is
lenty of money wanting opportuhi- f
es for investment in such securities. { 4

The Truth Precisely.

Gariieid'S nomination means the en-
dOrSement and approval in the most
positive and offensive manne possible
OF the Presidential fraud Of 1867. He
had more to do with it than any other
man, and was the only TAI who Occu-
pied toward it a double relation. After
the election Garfield went 10 New Or
leans by request Of Gen. Grant, without
authority Of law, as i partisan. lie
went there 10 assist his party in making
up a case, and after his return to Wash
ington, OF all his associates he was the
only man who took his seat upon the
Electoral Commission. BY every senti-
ment of fair play he should have been
excluded from the jury box. By his
own sworn statement OF what he did in
New Orleans, Garfield had charge OF the
returns from West Feliciana Parish. In
one of the inner rooms OF Packard's
Custom House he did his work, eXamln-
ed the aliidavits, and when they were
not sufficiently full, he prepared or had
prepared additional interrogatories 10
bring them within the rules adopted by
the Returning Board. The testimony,
so received by Garfield, went back to
the Returning Board, and the result
was that West Feliciana with its Demo-
cratic majority was thrown out. In
Washington. Gartield's vote vas that
Congress could not go behind the re-
turns thus made. AS agent for his par
" he helped TO make returns by manip-
ulating the evidence; and as juryman
for the Nation he held such evidence rs
conclusive and binding.

COMMON SENSE IN ADVER-
Using.
The Manner I'm Which Good
Business Men Reach the Pub

DuSiiltss NAch AsSSSh thC uu-
lie.
y. Y. Post.
A model advertisement is designed to
satisfy the rational demand of a proba-
BILE customer to know what you have
got to sell. The successful advertiser,
therefore, observes three rules: First,
he aims to furnish the information
which the public wants; second, he aims
TO reach that part OF the public whose
wants he is prepared to satisfy; and the
third. he endeavors to make his infor-
nation as easy OF acquisition blythe pub
lie as possible.
The commOnest and hsndiest thing in
the American family is the newspaper,
and as nearly all shopping proceeds
from the family, from its needs, its in
telligence, its tastes, its fashions, it fol-
lows that the thoughtful and successful
advertiser approaches the family by this
means. He does not waste his money
and his time in loading his advertising
gun and shooting it off skyward in the
streets, at all creation, on the chance
that some willing customer may be go
ing that way, and may be brought down;
Ol lilt NOlllidiN It Nahto aINNuhb VI lhO
ammunition which he has on hand, and
loads and points his gun through the
columns OF some reputable newspaper
at the game he wants to hit.
Besides, knowing that newspapers
are the best means OF advertising and
how to pick out the best newspapers Tor
his purpose, the successful advertiser
fully appreciates the importance of per-
sistent advertising. Mr.. Bryant used to
say that the great influence OF the press
depends for one thing upon its power
of iteration. Presenting the same sub
jectm many forms, it finally wins atten-
ton and acquiescence. Jsed in this
thorough and systematic way, the adj
vertising columns OF the newspapers are
as useful and essential to the merchant,
as means OF telling the public what he
has 10 sell, as the clerks behind the
counter are 10 show his goods when the
people come TO examine them.

The Terrors of Carving.

The misery Of habitual carving can
hardly be exaggerated. The man who
comes home tired from his days work
and sits down TO dinner needs a quiet
and easy meal. Instead OF having this,
he is compelled to undergo the labor OF
carving and to postpone his personal
dinner until his appetite has vanished.
Ii is no small labor 10 carve for a family,
say OF six persons. The JOINTS OF the
spring chicken are apparently made Ola
combination OF steel and india rubber,
and can neither he cut nor dragged apart;
while the roast beef tOughened by long
wears oil service in its original shape OF
OK, requires more strength OF wrist on
the part oil the carver than would suffice
TO saw a twelve inch log. When at last
the work of carving is done the delicate
and difficult duty OF "helping" begins.
There can be no peace OF mind for the
man who helps his family aud his occa-
sional guests u any food except soup or
oysters, both Of which can be accurately
aud fairly divided. In the case OF
chicken he can ne,e' give satisfaction.
There is no rule in this matter beyond
that OF giving the chicken legs to the
bows, which can be followed. To ask
people what part OF the chicken they
prefer is simply madness. Either every
body will tell the truth and demand the
best cut, in which case all but one will
be exasperated by failing to have their
wishes gratifed, or everybody will
reply, "Any part" at makes no differ
ence," or words to the same mendaclors
and ~aggravating effect. OF course, when
the man who says at makes no dliier-
ence" is helped to anything but the
breast, he becomes the enemy OF the
carver for life, and nothing can disabuse
him IF the impression that he has been
wantonly insulted. 1t is far better TO
boldly help people without making any
pretense OF consulting their wishes.
They will then regard the carver as a
rude and careless host: but they will
acquit him OF any intention TO press
open insults on his guests.-New York
