Ben Franklin cave the experi-


once Of many a man as he said
when you run into debt you give
to another power over your liber-
/ ty." Debt is the curse of our civ
ilization to-day. and it destroys
more homes of pleasure than many
PEOPLE imagine. There is no dan
ger apparent that it is becoming
more alarming than the growing
indebtedness of the people. While
III some loca lities there are signs
Of thrift, ente rprise and prosperity
1t is by no means an index to the
generality of the people. Occa-
sionally towns and cities spring up
as if by magic, but it does not sig
Nifty that there is not depression
in the country around, while other
enterprises are sure to share q
proportionate life with agriculture,
it does not follow that they viii be
as greatly injured by the depres-
sion, or at least whatever injury
there may be will not always be so
keenly felt. This thing called
debt is getting to be almost che
of the conditions of life. Debt, as
an evidence of prosperity, is one
thing, but as evidence of insolyen-
cy, it is entirely another. Debts
would be all right if they could be
always paid on maturity, but this
is not done and indeed oftentimes
cannot be. Debt, in consequence
of capital or property, may, and
often does stimulate energy, en-
courage economy, and in this way
foster the general welfare. But,
on the other hand, obligations that
cannot be discharged stife energy,
destroy ambition and independ-
ence, degenerate society and lend
encouragement to bankruptcy and
dishonesty. Failure to meet a
just debt is a shaft that strikes
deep into the heart of every honest,
true man. They feel it as well as
their creditors. None, but those
who have felt it, realize the rest
less hours spent when nature sleeps
in contemplation of approaching
that cannot be supplied. Many
are homes that would be Edens of
pleasure were it not for the over
whelming debts hanging over them
like curtains of night. Debt is
death. and it enters into every
phase and circle of society, from
the wag1-.fe-lra,- IN tbs fs-eses5 -
the business man in the city. All
realize what it is to be in debt.
Where ie the man dependent on
his own resources who has not
felt its sting? Few indeed they
are. If people would only learn
to guard their credit as they do
their cash, and be as stingy with
their promises as with their money,
and be more careful with both,
much good would result. In these
days, when money is scarce, much
business is transacted on the
strength and account of credit,
and one failure to pay will proba-
bly, cause a dozen others. One
man, being disappointed, is forced
to disappoint many others; thus it
is that the miscalculations of one
man Will cause dozen others.
This is why debts should be con-
tracted with the greatest care and
with due allowance for drouths
and other occurrences that are fire.

Of the picture, and perfect chorus of
howls, il yociferous imitation ofthe mans
own walls, went shrieking up from the sar-
castle line of the men who were waiting
their turn to face death. In minute an
other soldier came walking back from the
skiImish line. He was walking slowly
and steadily, never a moan fell from his
compressed lips, though they were whittier
than his bronzed face, aud he held his
hand against his breast. The silence of
the death chamber fell upon the line in an
instant, as the figure of the soldier moved
along the road with the air ola conqueror.
Half dozen men sprang to his side.
Tenderly they laid Elm down in the
shadow Of great oak; his lips parted to
speak a message to some one thousand
miles away, and the line was short one
man for the coming assault. He died of
bis hurt; but he died Ike king. Oh, my
boy, don't yell the lungs out of you over a
mashed thumb, when, only three files
down the lines, soldier salutes his cap
tain before be faces about to go TO the
rear with death bullet in his breast.
You can't help getting hurt. There isn't
a safe place in the whole line. There are
.cruel people in the world who love to
wound us; there are thoughtless, needless
people who don't think; there are people
who don't care, and there are thickskinned
people, who are not easily hut them
selves, and they think mankind Is thick
hided race; in fact the air is full of darts
and arrows. and singing bullets all the
time, and it is dangerous to be safe any
where. But when you do get hit-as hit
you certainly will be-don't 'noller" any
louder than you have to. Grin and bear
it the best you may. There are some
people so badly hurt they must moan; do
you forget your own hurt in looking after
them"

VALE BOULANGER.

The French elections which occurred on
very gratifying to the Republican party of
France-that division of its people which
upholds republican form of government.
1t could scarcely be otherwise. The victory
in favor of the popular and representative
system which now prevails is so great, so
unequivocal and so sweeping that surely
nothing more in that direction could be de-
sired. All that the administration headed
by NJ. SADI-CARNOr asked for at the hands
of the people has been granted, and the
land of the Gauls, with its recent civic
triumphs the subject of a worlds applause,
adds another and stronger link to the chain
of progressive civilization which binds it
to the great and glorious present.
Not the least among the grand achieve
ments of Sundays battle of ballots is the
complete extinguishment of BQVLANGER
and the cause he has vaihly en-
deavored to propagate. A score or
thereabout of men of his following have
been chosen to the chamber of
deputies, and this is not showing of suffi-
cient consequence to entitle it to the spe-
cial designation of being a party. 1t is
rather the last remaining relic of cause
born of a disturbed condition of society,
popular among the ignorant masses and
only tolerated by the educated and higher
classes while it was not understood. To
become known was, with it, to become de-
spised and once despised, there was but
one fate in store for it, such as it has at last
received-a quietus at the hands of the
people.
In an interview, the snuffed- out general
tries to assume a cheerful aspect and to
make the interviewer believe that the Re
publican majority, becoming cumbersome
it may be by reason of its own strength and
altogether dissatisfied with the state of
things in general, will yet give way and he
be recalled in triumph. The cherishing of
now do much harm to any
one, except perhaps himself, and
he is in position to elicit
neither care nor consideration from any
source. That BoULANGEg made an admi-
rable war secretary in the French ministry
cannot be denied; he should then have been
honest, straightforward, patriotic, and,
above all, satisfied with what he had till
the fates gave him something better. A
little brief notoriety turned his head, and
from that time on he was spoiled man.
willing to overturn the state which had
made him what he was in order that he
might climb to the chief magistracy and by
with the national legislature
become virtually dictator. The good
sense and sober Judgment Of the French
people have shown that they not only know
how to treat a pretender. but also how to
and maintain the thrice blessed
boon of popular liberty.

WARMER Is WISE.

An exchange suggests that Major
WARNER declined the pension commission
ershlp, because he is candidate for United
States Senator and did not want to be
handicapped by holding an Office" a
better and we believe the correct explana-
ton of the declination is that the major did
not have the courage to enter place, the
occupant of which will be squeezed and
ground as few officials have ever been.
TANNER has prepared most uncomforta-
bic bed for his successor, and one which a
wise and sensitive man will not be eager to
occupy. To follow in the footsteps of the
blatherskite ex commander would be to
antagonize the public and invite the ap-
plication of, the executive boot TO pursue
a different course and one less liberal to
wards the hungry claimants ot pensions
would make the commissioner an object to
be kicked by every member of the G. A r.
and at the sane time set that partisan poll
tical machine against the administration
which it had inaugurated.
Major WARNER is more wise than am
bilious in this matter He has some regard
for his peace of mind, and a good deal of
thought for his political future. 1t will be
a very shrewd mau who does not wreck
himself in the Office referred to.

THAT DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

THE HERALD has previously alluded Il
the action of the court in the matter OF
NAGLE for the killing of TERRY. it being
the action of Judge SAWYER in the United
States circuit court of California, and
showed that by such action a dangerous
precedent was established. We have not
from more recent advices, had occasion to
change the opinion then formed, but rather
has it been apparent that all the facts
calmly and dispassionately considered, GO
to show that our opinion was not only just
and proper, but the only just and proper
one that could be arrived at under the cir
cumstances. In this matter this paper
does not by any mems stand alone: it is
supported by great numbers of the best
and biggest papers in the land.
In consideration Of the peculiar functions
which states bear to each other and which
all bear to the federal government and
vice versa, the question of local jurisdic-
ton in any case of the kind in question be-
comes an important one is, to use the
language of a contemporary, one in which,
when a life is at stake or responsibility for
taking a life is called into question, one
that is fraught with the gravest danger.
Whether it shall be regarded as an exten
sion of the power of the United States
circuit court over the police jurisdiction of
the state of California or any other state,
or as an assertion of the personal immunity
of federal officers from that jurisdiction, it
is none the less dangerous, because doc
trine of that kind once permitted is suscept-
ible of the gravest abuses.
The question as to whether or not NAGLE
was justified in shooting to the death fell
low being is not presently TO be considered
but it is also, and as we look at it, properly
held, that IL was undoubtedly case TO be
determined by a California jury, duly i'm
paneled under the laws of that state. The
sophistry OF Judge SAWYER, in straining at
points for an excuse for the dramatic pro
ceedings before him which eliminated in
the discharge of the officer is very rarely
If at all justified in any quarter He an
nounced the doctrine that United States
marshal had the right in a court room on
the soil of that state to protect from assault
the life of Judge, and he finds no disput-
ants. BIT that IS not the question at issue.
The shooting of TERRY did not take place
in court room, where the Judge was sur
rounded by the armor of his official posi-
ton, but in a public railway station, and
whether there or elsewhere outside OF
tribunal, the humblest and the greatest are
supposed to ''meet upon the level and part
upon the square"

since clearly laid down by the supreme
court Of the United States that while certain
implied powers must ns .essauly result IA

WE HAVE all had our say against Della
wares whipping post as being behind and
against the civilization of the age, and yet
it seems to be not altogether an unmixed
evil. In speaking of it the other day, Gov

was not within its boundaries a single pen

said, ''or sets fire TO a neighbours barn. or
breaks into a house, he isn't shut up with
a lot of other criminals, with full time and
opportunity to learn all their tricks of

a preventive of crime the whipping post
has much greater terror than term in
the penitentiary. and have never known
of man that came back for the second
dose He simply leaves the state. Maybe
he goes to New York: l don't know. At
any rate he seeks another home, and you
may rest assured that if he stays in Della

a relic of barbarism, but it is our way

HOLD TO YOUR PRICES.

In spite of the cry that the prices of land
hre too high, being out of all proportion tc
he actual value of the soil, the owners are
lsking more and more for their lots
And they are selling them, too, at the
increased price. Six months ago when the
boomers were crying down the high prices,
and saying that the people were simply
IRVING away buyers by asking so much
more than the land was worth, THE HERALD
advised the owners to hold out for their
prices, or charge even more, as it would be
a question of only little time when their
Germs would be acceded to. How nearly
right this paper was then has been demon
strated a hundred times since. OF the many
pieces of property which have changed
ihands more than once within the past six
months, every one has been pur-
chased at an advance over
what the previous buyer paid, the
advance varying all the way from twenty
five to one hundred and fifty per cent. Re
member, we do not go back more than six
months for the purpose of illustrating that
prices were not too high. If one is anxious
TO learn how much of an advance has been
made within the past three years, let him
try to purchase lot that he sold since 1856.
In some instances he would have to multi
ply the dollars he received by ten.
The HERALD continues to advise the own
ers of real estate to hold fast to their land
until they get all they ask. The top has
not yet been reached by good deal. When
keen witted. far-seeing men are buying
acreage in the vicinity at from $500 to
81, 500 an acre, the land being regarded as
high-price1 at SO an acre two or three
years ago, we may be confident that one OF
these days really astonishing prices viii
be asked and paid for Salt Lake dirt
The original owners are those we want to
see get the advantage of this wonderful and
almost unaccountable appreciation of
values. 1t is admitted that the intrinsic
worth OF much of the land now on the
market, and also Of much that has been
sold, is not equal to the prices asked and
paid. But that fact has nothing to do with
the case. If only the actual value in dollars
We're obtainable, few, if any, would sell
Sentiment has been made to largely control
prices, and because owners are getting a
good deal more than the land is worth to
them they are selling. The owner, rather
than others, should get the benefit OF that
sentiment which influences men more than
judgment
Land owners, stick for your prices There
is not the least likelihood OF an immediate
depression in the real estate market. On
the contrary, we may safely count on a con
siderable advance before there VIII come a
