SILVER ALL RIGHT.

Senator Jones says that the
bill to restrict the coinage of sill
yer is certain of defeat. The
friends Of silver are growing
stronger all the time in Congress.
The Presidents message speaks
of S92,0OO,OOO of silver in the
vaults, but it neglects to state
that sGS, 100000 of this is rep
represented by silver certificates
floating about the country.
There is about $4,000, 900 of
gold in the Treasury, and not as
much gold certificates are out as
silver. Silver being a legal ten
der for all debts, a silver certifi-
cate is as good as gold one.
The idea that there can ever
he too much money in the
country is a fallacy, as the

THE POLYGAMOCA PROS.
LEM.

The President in his message
states that in his opinion no
more legislation is needed in
Utah. By what route such a
conclusion can be arrived at is
difficult to determine. The
Edmunds bill has resulted ex-
actly as predicted and has not so
much as thrown straw in the
way of polygamy. The Salt
Lake Tribune, always good au-
thority upon Mormon matters,
states that the Endowment
House is packed once Il week
with men and women contract
ing polygamous marriages and
the church leaders are more
blatant and defiant than ever.
In addition to this they have
secured a member of Congress
from Idaho. The man who was
avowed in the Mormon interests
was elected by a good majo rity,
the church sending its sack into
the field to purchase his election.
This ought to open the eyes of
Congress to the cancer which is
growing in America, and the
failure Of the Edmunds bill
ought to show Congress the ne
cessity of more stringent meas
ures. Each year that is al
lowed to slip by strengthens the
power of the rascals who hold
the fanatics of Utah in their
hands, and the time will come
when Congress will be confront
ed by more serious aspects of the
case than now presented. When
Abe Lincoln was assaSslnated
Brigham Young came into the
side entrance of the theater
dancing and whirling his hat
from JOY, and saying "Old
Abe is killed, d. him, we
are still on top and the Lord is
still on our side" Then turning |
to the manager of the theater,
h added: ."Trot out the Grape |,
and drape the theater. Drape |
'er, Bob, drape 'er deep it will |
look we'll to outsiders" When
Garfield was killed every Mor-
mon face in Utah wore a pleased |
expression and the ward preach
crs told tn cir congre cations that
Garfield was against DOlygamy
and the Lord struck him down,
but in the big Tabernacle there
was Grape all over the affairs,
and George Q. Cannon shed
tears in his sermon as if his only
brother were gone. Every
polygamist takes an oath of
hostility against the Govern
ment. The gingerly way the
United States handles this ques-
ton is making it a laughing
stock among foreign powers.

Cultivate 4 Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. It may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of soft heart, and do it with a
soft touch. Bat there is no one thing
that love so much needs as asweet voice
to tell what it means and feels, and it is
hard to get it and keep it in the right
tone. One must start in youth, and be
on the watch night and day, at work
and play to get an keep voice that
shall at all times be the thought of kind
heart. But this is the time when a
sharp voice is most apt to be got. You
often heaI boys and girls say words at
play with quick, sharp tone, as if it
were the snap of whip. When one of
them gets vexed you will hear voice
that sounds as if it were made up of a
snarl, whine and bark. Such voice
often speaks worse than the heart feels.
It shows more ill-will in the tones than
the words. It is often in mirth that
one gets voice or tone that Is sharp,
and sticks to him through life and stirs
up illwill and grief. and falls like a
drop of gall on the sweet joys at home.
Such as these get a sharp home voice
for use and keep their best voice for
those they meet elsewhere, just as they
would save their their best cakes and
pies for guests and all their sour food
for their own board. I would say to all
boys and girls. "Use your guests voice
at home" Watch it by day as q pearl
of great price, for it will be worth more
to you in the days to come than the
best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice
is lark's song to hearth and home.
1t is to the heart what light is to the
eye.

HKnew She Would Gomez

One of the most touching stories Dick
ems ever wrote was that OF poor ssLittle
Emily" 1t is hard for most of us to
keep back the tears when we read of her
wanderings in foreign lands, and of how
MIR. Pegotty never gave her up, but
sought her everywhere until he found
her and saved her. Just such things
constantly are happening in real life.
Here is story of young Scotch girl
who was led INTO sin, perhaps by the ex-
ample OF some of her companions, and
leaving her home went to London, One
day while proceeding along the street,
she came by q church and heard the
congregation singing an old tune she
knew well. She paused a moment, and
while listening sudden vision came to
her OF the home she had left, her father
and mother, the village and the simple
and pure life that had once been hers.
A longing swept through her heart to
creep over the threshold of home once
more and sit at her mothers feet, even
II 1T was in sin and in shame, and she
brought disgrace home with her
mother was there, and forgivness and
love were there.
SO she travelled the long distance to
the little village. She felt that she
must not be seen by the neighbors. So
weary and footsore and longing though
she was, she hid in the fields till dark.
Then she waited and waited-fearing
that she could not make it right with
''ieyther" ''feyther" should be
gone to bed, and she could find mother
sitting alone.
When she came to the house her beat
ing heart stopped in fear, for the lights
were gone and she remembered that the
door was shut at night. Yet ct any rate
she must see, and her heart leaped
again when she found that the door
was open. Light as was her foot
when she stepped within, one ear heard
it, and her mothers voice, low and
trembling with hope, spoke from an
inner room
'Jeanie, Is it yon?"
''Yes, mother, and oh, I feared to find
the door shut"
cay, jeanne, lass, the door has nae
been shut since We left.

An article in the TRIBUNE of July
81, "When to Cut Grass is worthy
of notice. The writer of that article
hopes that Prof Sanborn may be con-
vertcd from the error of his ways, but
it is hard TO convert man with such
old fogy IDEAS as Prof S. tries to main
tain. The time advocated for cutting
grass by the writer of the article re-
ferred to, is as applicable to the west
as to the cast, and no less so to our
wild grass than to Timothy. l am a
granger and have had the pleasure OF
hearing this matter discussed in the
grange, and it has been proven beyond
controversy that hay cut before it
blossoms is worth from one fourth to
one half more than hay cut after it be.
gins to ripen or while in bloom. 1t is
hard to find a thrifty farmer in the east
at the present time that lets his grass
stand until it blooms before cutting
and | venture the assertion that grass
cut before it blooms will keep cattle in
better condition than grass cut just af-
ter bloom and fed with grain When
do cows give the most milk and make
the most butter! 1t is while the grass
is green and growing fast while it is
full Of juice. So hay cut while it is
green makes more milk and butter than
ripe grass. As soon as grass begins to
ripen and get little dry, cows begin
to shrink off in milk and butter, and
the result will be the same by feeding
green aud ripe cut hay. hope farm
ers in this section will take more in
tcrest in raising stock and tame grass.

the growth of corn, and number of
