Fort Worth for the last two weeks, and
intends spending the winter, went over
to Dallas with the intention of spending.g
week there, but returned in two days 70
Fort Worth. Being met upon her return
by friend, was thus addressed: 81
thought you had gone to Dallas to spend
n week? and you are back 50 soon!''
The Northern lady replied: ~ got so
awfully homesick had to come back. -
We endeavOr to honor the compliment
thus paid Fort Worth by one who is al
most a stranger, by the following lines {:
She sighed for the hill sides SO gently slopng,
The clean streets over which she had walked
The ar5esian which came from below often spout
The town On the Clear Fork, queen OF the Lone
Star.
She had never been happy 1t ell since she parted
From the hlgh rolling prairie and pure fresh
air,
Where malaria and mosquitoes have no rights

The loss when the building burned
year or two ago was $3.50 900. The

A Fine Play Finely Presented by the Madison
Square Company Last Night.


Square Company Last Night.
Sir Charles YOung's thrillingly inter-
esting play, "Jim the Penman,' - was
on the bills at the opera house last night,
and received most thoroughly artistic
rendition at the hands of a very
capable company. The oId-time
favorite, Frank Bangs, played the
character of 'James RaiStou, - other
wise known as "Jim, the Penman -
and he gave a strong and artistic inter-
pertatiOn of that very difficult role. The
facial expression of Mr.. Bangs is some
thing wonderful, and during the scene
between ''Ralston - and his wife, i'll the
third act, where she discovers that he is
the forger and hurts her accusations upon
him, the look of abject horror
and fear depicted upon his countenance
was frightfuily realistic. Mr.. Bangs was
suffering last night with severe cold 4,
which almost robbed him of his splendid
voice, but, though his elocution was
married, his action was superb and only
those failed of satisfaction who have seen
him al his best.
Mr.. Wright Huntington was very
manly .Percival, - and gave his rendi-
ZION OF th.tt phIt "ith d Sit-S0 anu hHiSli
which. while ii robbed it of none of its
strength, made it most pleasing to the
audience Mr.. J L. OttoIneyer made of
Baron fairfield a most accomplished
scorndrel, winning the thorough detest-
alton of the audience by his very
clever work, and Mr.. Hardee Kirkland
brought out of the character of Captain
Redwood all there was in it. Mir. Guy
Lindsey was handsome and satisfactory

CHARGES AGAINST A CONSUL.

Rough Stories Told About the Canduct of Con-
sui Lewis at Tangiers.
NEW YORK, Dec. 81 Among the pas
eengers on the steamer Australia from
Gibraltar, November 20, which arrived
to-day, was Moses Renausili, who comes
to this country to prefer charges against
Fred Lewis, United States consul at Tan
giers. Renausili says Consul Lewis con-
spired to place him in prison
at Fee, where he lay for
fifty days, because he refused to
pay him $4,000. He also has charges TO
prefer against Mr.. Lewis assistants,
AcOuge and Faure. In Morocco Renau-
sill has followed the occupation of pilot
ing American merchants, being Il mer-
chant himself, through the country 10
make purchases. III that capacity he
considered himself under the protection of
the United States while engaged in such
expeditions. While travelling with Amer
leans, Acouge approached him and de-
manded $4,000 for the protection of the
American government. This was
refused, when charges were preferred
against him, and he was thrown
into jail at Fez. He gives the names
of numerous merchants who, he claims +,
were swindled out of sums from SlS5 to
$500 by Lewis and assistants. He esti-
mates that in his two years of service
Lewis has collected from merchants for
American protection not less than $500 =
900. Consul Lewis was formerly ticket

have to be paic, with interest, by some
body. Speaking generally one would
say that the Territory would have so
pay the debt, the obligation be-
lag borne equitably by all citizens
and property owners. If this were
true the objections TO the bonding
scheme would be materially lessentd.
But 1t is not true. 1t is a fiction which
becomes transparent the moment one
looks at the assessment rolls of the sew
eral counties. The total valuation CT
taxable property, according to these
rolls, is about $37 GOO 900, to which sg
gregate Salt Lake County contributes
4 thirteen and a half millions, and Salt
Lake City over ten millions. Salt Lake
City pays nearly one-thlrd of the taxes
paid in the Territory, and Salt Lake
County pays over 30 per cent. of the
total. Thus if the Territory shall tie
bonded, the weight of the DEBT created
will fall upon the property and people
within the limits of this municipal
corporation. Are the people CT
Salt Lake DESTROYS of assuming the
load for the benefit Of the
more prudent and more economical
citizens of the Territory? If the money
is to be expended here, or an equitable
portion of it-one-third of the total-all
well, and good. But we all know that
not 10 per cent. ofany monsy that may
be borrowed will be expended for i'm
proYements in Salt Lake City or Salt
Lake County. 1t will go to other coun-
ties, Just as the school tax money paid
by Salt Lake is distributed to other
counties.
Until the counties shall become fair
and Just IN their assessments, shall as
sess themselves as literally as Salt Lake
does, and shall manifesto willingness to
bear their proportion of the public bur-
den, Salt Lake should set its face
squarely and firmly against every pro-
position to run the Territory
into debt for institutions and
improvements which we can &c;
along without. While populous and
rich counties persist in keeping thei1
assessments less than a tenth of the
actual cash value of their property, sc
they can sponge" upon their neigh
bors, we will be opposed to helping
them any more than is absolutely neces
sAry.
The HERALD hopes the bonding bill
will be killed, as it should be. In the
first place, the occasion does not exist
for borrowing any large sum of money
and in the next place, public debt
under the circumstances, would be g
gross imposition upon Salt Lake County
and Salt Lake City.
