htable employment. If the harvest has
been good and ths mines have not
Jailed, you can learn the truth by look
ing through the store windows and
examining the goods which are on sale
during the Christmas time.
So far the display is entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t tells that at least in the
opinion of the dealers in holiday goods
the season has been exceptionally pros
porous, and that there is an abundance
of money in the community, for not
only is the variety great, but the
quality is superior, the holiday articles
being of a more expensive character
than, usual Accepting the showing
now being made as barometer of the
business of the community, we must
regard the outlook as agreeable in the
extreme; much better, in fact, than
people had right to expect in the
early part of the season.

THE PENSION RECORD.

When the G. A. R. shriekers and the
men who have been abusing the Presi-
dent on account of his attitude towards
fraudulent pensions read the annual
reports of the Commissioner of Pensions
they will feel ashamed of themselves,
provided there is any shame in them.
Under Cleveland's administration the
adjustment OF claims has been prose-
cuted with degree of earnestness and
industry never before displayed. Indo-
lence and negligence, and sometimes
dishonesty, have characterized previous
administrations; but under Mr.. CleVe-
lands direction the legion of cases that
had accumulated have been practically
disposed Of.
The Commissioners report shows
that at the beginning of the fiscal
wear there were on the rolls the
names of 452.557 persons. OF these
23OO2O are invalids and the
others are widows, orphans or depend
ant relatives OF soldiers who were killed
in the war or died from the effects OF
disease contracted in the service. Less
than sixteen thousand names were
dropped from the list during the year,
and these nearly all on account of the
death of the pensioners; while more
than sixty thousand pensioners were
added during the year,
If the veterans of the war would but
look at this matter without prejudice.
they would understand that President
Cleveland is not only not an enemy to
the Union soldiers, but that he has
done much more for them than any
Republican President.

THE SUNDAY PAPER.
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake City

Now the New York Mail and Express
which under the ownership of Col.
Shepherd, a Vanderbilt son-in-law, is
becoming too pious and really too good
for earth, has opened war against the
Sunday newspaper, and at the outset
declared thatit (the Sunday newspaper
twill co." The pious son-in-law finds in
the newspaper which circulates on Sun
day the cause of much of the evil which
besets this sinful world, and he knows
that when these mammoth but corrupt
ing and soul-destroying editions are
discontinued, men and women will be
better, children will grow up in the love
and fear of the Lord, and this earth Will
be tolerable as an abiding place for the
truly good. In one of his denun-
ciatory articles the good colonel
says: Think how appetite must be
whetted for the word of God by read
ing column after column of political
sensational, criminal and gossipy mat
ter, garnished and seasoned and tricked
out with every possible devise to tickle
the social, literary and sensational
stomach. It is in this, of course, that
much ofithe evil of Sunday papers lies.
1t is this which is responsible for empty
pews at church and all that follows
therefrom. DR.. Johnson is surely right
when he replies to the assertion that
the Sunday paper has come to stay.
Not if God has come to stay. He and
the Sunday newspapers are not agreed,
and when that conflict is on there is
but one issue"
1t is painful to have to differ with so
good mau as Colonel Elliott Shepherd,
but THE HERALD feels compelled to
take issue with him in this matter OF
the Sunday newspaper, and to say that
the Sunday paper will not go. It has
come in answer to popular demand,
and has come to stay, having on its
side the great majority of intelligent
people of this land. 1t will stay, be-
cause il is appreciated more highly
than the pulpit by q large proportion of
Christians as well as by all who do not
profess religion. 1t will stay because it
is an entertainer and instructor, q
teacher of morality as well as a dis
seminator of the news. 1t will stay be-
cause the people have learned to like it,
and they do not know how to get along
without the Sunday paper.
It is vain and idle fight which the
valiant Shepherd is making, but then
he can afford to lose.

BLAINE AND THE CABINET.

Senator Frye, of Maine, tells news
paper man that he is confident Blaine
will be Secretary of State in Harrison s
Cabinet. He says that political ex-
pediency dictates the selection as four
fifths of the Republican party demand
it. He does not see how Harrison can
do otherwise than make the appoint
ment, which he says would strengthen
the administration and the party.
Frye says; The opposition to Blaine
comes only from the Mugwumps.
Conkling's opposition to Blaine died
with Conkling. Politicians don't care
about dead men,"
Senator Frye's ideas may be correct,
and what he says may be all quite true,
and yet there are many wise men,
admirers and friends of General
Harrison, who think that the taking of
Blaine into his Cabinet would be
disastrous to the President. There is
no comparison between Blaine and
Harrison in the matter of political
shrewdness and cunning, the former
being master of the art and the
latter a mere beginner as was
demonstrated so many times dur
ing the campaign. With Blaine as
Secretary of State, General Harrison
will be dwarfed and made insignificant
in spite of himself. 1t will be Blaine
administration, let the Hoosier struggle
as he may to identify himself with it.
1t is not believed that Harrison is
eager to accept the risk, and it is be-
leVed he has the courage and the good
common sense to endeaVor at least to
be bigger man than any of his min
listers. It would be very pleasant to the
radical faction of the Republican party
were Blaine in control of the admin
istration, as he would be as Secretary
of State; but it would be most offensive
to the conservative and clean element
of the party-an element which Gen.
eral Harrison cannot afford to offend,
if he were disposed to break with it.
THE HERALD has never believed that
Harrison wanted or would take Blaine
in his Cabinet.A

A REVEREND INNOCENT.

When that minister sees his let
ter in this mornings HERALD, as he will
see it, We wonder what he will think of
himself We wonder if he will en-
deavor to justify himself by anything
he finds in the. Gospel which be
breaches, or by the necessities of the
case. We may remark that the story
told by our correspondent is a correct
one in every respect. The young preacher
from neighboring State, became
interested in young gentleman of this
city whose acquaintance he made by
chance, and perhaps in a boss u
spirit the latter mentioned a trade by
which he had made $40. The minister
was quick to discover that the transac-
ton had occurred on Sunday, and he
seems TO have known enough of the
religion which he taught to understand
that 1t was sinful to barter and bargain
and trade on the Lords day. But he
did not seem to be familiar with the
proprieties, and was woefulIy ignorant
OF the consistencies. Returning to his
home he and his little congregation set
out to build church, and running
short of cash he thinks of the irrelig-
ious young trader who was to reckless
of his soul as to run counter to all
Christian teaching and violate the
written command of Divinity. Our
preacher remembers. the Sunday trade,
and the twenty dollars and asks for
half the money-the money that was
made by that unlawful and unchristis n
transaction. He condemns the deed,
bat would gladly profit by it; he hates
the wrong, but wants, the fruit of it.
We have too much respect for the
cloth, too much confidence in the sin
cerity and consistency of ministers to
believe that many of them would be
guilty of the indiscretion, to call it by a
m Id term, of Rev. Mr.. - but we Will
withhold the name, In the hope that the
young man will learn wisdom and get
more of the spirit of The religion which
he processes. Among other verses in
the Good Book, he would do well to
study Deuteronomy ,XXIII., Is.

THE HOLIDAY. SHOWING.

One need not consult the calendar to
learn of the near approach of Christ-
mas. The stores and shops tell of the
coming, for the articles on exhibition
are of holiday character. One of the
best indexes to a seasons business is
found in the stocks which the mer-
chants, jewelers. booksellers and shop
keepers lay in for the holidays. We
don't know how they get at
it, but they manage somehow to
guess very closely as to the
condition of the peoples purses.

SALT LAKE CITY, December s, 1888.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:
To man living in this helI-pot" of
religious and social strife, gall" pure
and unaduIterated, is by no means q
rariety, hence variety which attracts
the special attention of an old-timer,
must be of high grade. am not IN
mindful of the fact that the rarest speci-
mems of pure cheek have frequently
been exhibited, and utilized to the best
advantage by the extremely "holy" ele-
ment. People who were so pure that
an ordinary man seemed sinful by com
parison, have usually in my experience,
been endowed with such wonderful i'm
pudence. as to make a Chicago book
agent stand aghast as witness, Parson
Pierce, OF local fame.
To my story. Some weeks since, [
and young man were taking a run
over the D. q R g., when a sedate-
looking individual managed to worm
himself into the conversation. l paid
little attention in the first place, and
when [ disco Vered that he was wild
to know all about the Mormon
question, l avoided him, as is
my custom. He addressed himself
very earnestly to the young man, and
soon they were absorbed in the local
bugaboo. The same evening the
young man told me some of the con-
versaIion, and remarked that his inter-
viewer was minister. Our young
friend, in talking over some business
matter, caused the minister to remark
that the making of money and all of
the affairs of business were entirely
foreign to him. The minister said that
if the church had not the means to
would do. The young man jocularly
said he would have to learn how to
trade, and generally to keep his ewes
open to the main chance. He then told
the minister that the day previously,
trade made by him had netted some
twenty dollars. The man with the
white neckcloth said, What, yester-
day! Why, that was Sunday"
The youngster said he had not thought
of that fact before, but even if he had,
he would have made the trade. The
minister then plainly told him that the
proper thing to do was to go and give
that money to the minister in the dis
trict.
We several times laughed over the
suggestion of the preacher, and ocoas-
ionally referred to other things which
he had said on local matters, but had
forgotten him entirely until the follow
ing letter came from him.
l send it to you to copy literally, ON
uniting only the name and address, and
