The Prodlgal.

Yesterday forenoon way-worn look
ing man, having Il shirt or two tied up
in d ragged handkerchief, made his
way up Fort street east. Some folks
could have seen from his general air
that while he knew exactly where he
was going, he couldn't tell within forty
rods Of what his reception would be.
He walked like a nan who doubted,
and he looked around him like one who
felt anxious. He finally turned in and
mounted the steps of a modest house,
and his knock at the door was finally
answered, The door was pulled open
about an inch, and shrill voice eX-
claimed;
eco away from here. y
'l'll never do iti answered the man.
The door was closed with bang, but
he stood right there and kept his eyes
on the knob. After three Or four min

cried ont:

was prepared for il, and he maintained
his place for full five minutes without
becoming discouraged. At last it
opened and voice pipcd out:

In TIE current number of the
North A,uerican ReciesO, Mr.. Henry
George lhas al paper dealing with
the matter of over production, asd
he clearly demonstrates that there
can be no such thing. One para
graph of the article is as follows:
Ii there ba sny such thing ss over
produc ion; If we really suf15ring from
O plethora Of wealth, then ths remedy
lies in the destruction of wealth. That
lie Teducti0 Gd absurtl,sm. But the
fact cannot be disputed that the period
OF the civil war, -Fhen the greatest de
struction of wealth this country ever saw
was going on. was time Of great busi.
ness prosperity and Industrial activity.
Nor can this be explained on the theory
that we ~ere then borrowing from thc
future. To borrow from the future is q
physical impossibiIi!y. By no process
of fosncial juggling ca, anv one eat to-
day the egg thst is to be laid TO- o-morrow
The ships that were sunk; the houses that
were burned. the shot and powder fred
away and the immense amount OF other
wealth unproductively consumed or
wantonly destroyed, were not future
ships, powder and shot, but existing pro-
ducts oflabor. Nor did we even borrow
from abroad. Is a people, we owed less
TO foreign nations at the end than o. The
beginni & ofthe war.

In THURSDAYS edition of The
HERALD paragraph appeared in
the local columns stating that "The
reported further cutting of freight
rates on the railways seems to have
no more solid foundation than a
mere rumor." We regret the ap-
pearance of the item, as the state
ment therein contained was clearly
an error and misleading to the pub
lie. AS announced in the previous
issue of THE HERALD, the freight
rate has been cut to 25 cents per
hundred pounds from Missouri
River points, and both roads are
now hauling goods at that rate.

is the dude of territorial governors.
Our own Eli is the Jersey Lily OF
these "chief executives. Governor
Crosby has proposed scheme for
adjusting the Mormon pro blem, and
it is dudesque in conception and
birth. The plan involves not only
the disfranchisement of polygam-
Gus Mormons, but their exclusion
from government lands as home
steaders and pre- emptors. Just how
this would "settle" any question
Mr.. Crosby alone knows. for he has
failed to impart the information to
others. Now, when John Phoenix
invented the mule artillery and the
ring for fastening into the seats of
soldiers pants, he sent diagrams of
the operations of each, with COM
prehensive explanations of the
workings and results o. his inven>
tions. Governor Crosby should be
required to crawl down out of his
dude collar long enough to explain
how he expected his anti-MormOn
would work. If he does
not do this. the puzzling of his
genius in deyising the scheme has
been wasted, as the plan is beyond
,he comprehension of ordinary
nOrtals.
