GENERAL WINFIELD ScorT's GIGAN
TIC SIZE AND CURIoUs LgTrRR.-Every

ted to General Winfield Scott in his
statues and portraits. Few Of them
are exaggerations OF his real proper.
tions. He was elk feet four and ball
inches high, and perfectly formed. In
bis full dress uniform he presented a
superb appearance. II is said the
dimunitive Mexicans were awe-struck
when they saw him, and that many OF
them attributed the success Of the
American to the grand hysique of its
leader.
The general was greatly inconveni-

special preparations made for his COM

Unlock ing the door, Mrs. Dam enter

did careful search reveal the presenca
OF any person. A day or two after
ward a neighb Dor entered and inquired
the name Of the strange lady seated in
the front room. Both women looked
into the apartment, but it was unoc
cupied.
The vision was seen frequently from
this time. The place was visited daily
by curious people snd they were not
disappointed, as the figure could bt

the hand. Dam himself never saw
the vision, although be frequentl ,

ARBOR DAY IN CALIFORNIA.

Arbor day was, for the first time, OBJ
served last Saturday, in California. Ma
turc, with sunshine and quiet, smiled on
the occasion. Trees were planted by old
men and children. Long after the plant
ers are dead and most Of them forgotten,
the trees will live and furnish grateful
shade for succeeding generations.
In one view OF the matter, human be-
ings are most insignificant and short
lived. The exceeding brevity OF human
life, stands in marked contrast with rep
resentatives OF animal and forest life.
But the changes and transformations oil
conscious intelligent and spiritual life are
more rapid than those OF mere material
existence. Absolute forgetfulness OF per-
sons and things in connection with indl-
vidual life is an impossibility. We are
saddened by the thought that we are to
die and to be forgotten, but in the ever
widening life which lies before us, the
ripples of thought and affection which
even the brief earthly life Of the dying
infant has evoked, will extend in ever en-
larging circles on the shoreless sea OF
the future. The influences which forever
go and come like weaver's shuttle,
making up the web Of human life, CON
tinue unbroken beyond this infancy oi
our existence. Let no man be depressed
by the thought that the tree which he
plants shall live and flourish after he has
disappeared from mortal sight, but LEI
him rather plant the more for the com
fort of those who will bless the giver ii
the enjoyment OF the gift
Let us have an Arbor day in Utah
and let it be made so joyful to all thu
children, that it will perpetuate itself t.
the latest generation. We shall not onl,
continue to live with the generation will
whom we have passed from this life int
the more complex life of the unseen fu
ture, but we shall also live here in tn
kindly thought Of those we have benefit
ted by our labors of love.

OVER-PRODUCTION.

Much is said and written about over

There is department in which it may
truly be said that over-production is
working mischief.
In a recent speech delivered by United
States Senator Bowen, OF Colorado, to
his immediate friends and neighbors pre-
vious to his departure to Washington, he
said, speaking primarially OF Colorado:
"The country seems to be too small for
so many statesmen to dwell together in
unity" The remark will apply to the
country at large.
Over-producton OF small potato states

UNFINISHED BUSINESS,

tative Morrow, OF California, twill be a
continuation OF the session which closed
in August last. Our first duty will be to
take up the bills that are before Congress,
remaining undisposed OF. l do not think
there is much probability OF a discussion
OF the tariff question, but the silver ques-
ton will undoubtedly invite discussion.
There are also several bills of importance
like bills providing for the admission
OF Dakota, Montana and Washington
Territories, the bills providing for the for
feiture OF railroad land grants and the
polygamous bill. 1t is not likely that
many new bills will be brought up dur
ing this short session."
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-11-30
AN UNFINISHED ARGUMENT.

Judging from the dispatches yesterday,
the Comptroller of the Currency, Hon.
VIM. Trenholm, to use a slang phrase,
"Bit off more than he could chew" He
starts out with rather a rose-colored view
of the National Banks, in the exercise Of
their legitimate functions of discount, ex-
change and deposit. He admits there are
serious questions as to the policy and the
constitutional right OF granting charters
to banks of issue. He fears that without
this concession, National Banks could
not live.
In view OF the fact that many of the
strongest and most successful banks
have declined to avail themselves oil the
privilege of issuing notes of circulation,
it is difficult to understand why the priv
ilege OF issuing paper money-denied to
private bondholders supposed to have
souls and to be sponsible-should be
granted to soulless, corporations, on the
ground that without this privilege they
must cease to exist But says the Comp
troller, If the system could be pre-
served as one OF deposit and discount,
there would probably arise an almost
universal sentiment in favor of bestowing
upon its preservation, immediate and
careful attention" In the absence
Of United States bonds, which, with the
present revenues OF the government
ought to be paid off within the next
twelve or fifteen years, what securities
will be available to replace the untaxed
bonds, soon TO be Cancelled? The
Comptroller finds it impossible to answer
this question satisGactorially, and the
argument in favor OF bank note crcu-
lation lacks even an impotent conclu-
sion. The worthy official can only say
"These objections and answers seem
worthy OF consideration. "
The quandary OF Mr.. Trenholm,
is forcible reminder that the
fluctuations OF the bank note cir
culation, dependent for its contraction
or expansion upon individual or corpo-
rate interest solely, is a disturber of the
business of the Nation and dangerous to
its prosperity.
1t is a notable opportunity for the
party in power to place the issue of paper
money solely in the hands OF the Gov
ernment, to issue silver certificates to
the depositors OF silver bullion, to use the
immense income Of the Government to
buy every purchasable bond, and to ere
ate sinking fund with the balance, to

"CoNNEcTIcUT will go Democratic sure
in the Presidential election of 1888" says
Congressman Mitchell, OF Connecticut.
The State is Democratic now. Instead
of two Republican and two Democratic
Representatives, as at present, Connecti-
cut will have three Democratic and only
one Republican Representative in the
next House. The Democratic candidate
for Governor received more votes than
the Republican candidate, but, unfortu-
nately, not a necessary majority, and so
the election OF Governor goes into the
Legislature. The Republicans claim to
have the Legislature, and on the strength
of that claim it is conlidentially asserted
that the Republicans will eject their
Governor and that Hawley will be re-
turned to the United States Senate. But
this is by no means certain. On the con
trary, fifteen Labor candidates have been
elected to the Legislature. These gentle
men hold the balance OF power, and can
give the Senatorship to either party. 1t
is not believed that they will give, it to
a Republican.

LlNCOLN,S WRITING.

The errors of grammar and construction
which spring invariably from an effort TO
avoid redundancy of expression remained
with him through life. He seemed to grudge
the space required for necessary parts OF
speech. But his language was at twenty
two, as il was thirty years later the simple
and manly attire of his thought, with little
attempt at ornament and none at disguise
There was an intermediate time when he
sinned in the direction of fine writing; but
this ebullition soon passed away, and left
that marvelously strong and transparent
style in which his two inaugurals were
written.-Nicolav and Hay, IN the December
Century.
Critics may find flaws and defects in
the direct and simple style used by Lin
coin in his written productions. But in
telligent, thinking men were never at a
loss to know exactly what he meant,
and never failed to be impressed
with the originality Of his ideas and mode
OF expression. Like strong men who
think intensely upon important subjects,
he expressed himself directly and logi'
cally, seemingly impatient OF trickery OF
ornament in the short, sharp and decisive
sentences that came from his pen, as the
propositions in chain Of argument were
forged at white heat in his mind.
The charm and attraction Of style has
its origin in modes OF thinking. Not the
polish of schools, nor the science OF Ian
guage in the rules of grammar, can atone
for trihing Or insincere thoughts in tht
writer And books, journals or writer
productions of any kind will fail to NOV

THE Bulgarian problem has not made
any nearer approach to settlement, un-
less it be by the removal of Prince Wal
demar, OF Denmark, from the list OF as
pirants for the vacant throne. Prince
Waldemar was elected recently to the
throne OF Bulgaria. He is the son of the
King of Denmark and brother-in-law to
the Car OF Russia. But the King OF
Denmark on behalf of his son declines
the honor with thanks. The Princes re-
fusal is final, unless there should be a
complete change in the relations between
the Czar and the Bulgarian Government.
| AS long as Russia declines to recognize
the action of the National Assembly as
legal. neither Prince Waldemar nor any
other Prince of like political relations
would accept the Bulgarian crown, even
