MADDENING PAIN STOPPED
WITH
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-08-20

THE sHARPERs are all the time puzzling
their brains for new schemes with which
to swindle the urIwary, and farmers are
among their chief because easiest victims.
The newspapers are telling of a fraud
which is being practiced in the eastern
states, and which will doubtless find its
way out here, as all these things do. An
exchange tells how the scheme is worked,
as follows: A plausible fellow appears at
the house of substantial farmer with a
pump, hay fork or some other article of
genuine merit, and asks the farmer to be-
come the 'local agent" for its sale,
promising liberal commission. In
order to complete the arrangement
which looks like good thing on it's
face, the farmer is asked to sign what pur-
ports to be an order for dozen or more of
the article which he is to sell. This he
usually does unhesitatingly. In due time
this paper reappears in the hand of another
swindler as promissory note for the full
price Of all the articles ordered" and the
farmer has to pay it. A very good rule for
farmers and everybody else to follow is to
refuse to sign any paper which they do not
fully understand. The man who declines
to sign will have no note or obligation
coming along to astonish and distress him.
The s1arpers have played so many of these
games which have been so often exposed.
that one wonders that anybody can be
taken in nowadays

A SPOILS APPOINTMENT.

Some time ago Postmaster, G eneral
WANAMAKER appointed Reiusville, N. c.,
negro postal route agent, and the other day
the fellows commission was mailed. 1t
reached the black at his cell in the North
Carolina penitentiary, the agent having
been convicted of burglary after his ap-
pointment. We don't believe Mr.. WANA
MAKER would knowingly appoint burglar
to the responsible position of postal route
agent, but the aforementioned incident
proves that the postmaster-g general is not
sufficiently careful in naming men for places
in his department. Would Mr.. WANAMAKER
put an unknown negro into responsible
position in his Philadelphia business estab-
Eshment. Hardly. He wouldn't put a
negro into any place requiring extraordin-
airy trustworthiness. A man who would
not be satisfactory to the postmaster gen
eral as private citizen, should be obiec-
t;onable as an officer the public
service requiring as high a degree
Of integrity as the clothing business
of Mr. WANAMAKER. The fact is, the Reds
vile negro was a Republican, and an active
worker in politics. He had ''earned'' his
reward, and his share of the spoils was to
be awarded to him for services rendered.
His qualification was not taken into ac-
count, and it is doubted that an inquiry
was ever made as to his honesty and in
tegrity

T THE KEARNEY, (Neb.,) Hub thinks there
is a sequel to the midday robbery of Bank
President MoFFATT in his own Office a few
weeks ago. 1t is not to be wondered at if
there is. There is a sequel to almost
everything. The Hub goes on to insinuate
that there is heroine connected with the
little melodrama. "It is true" it says,
''that the ducats were shelled out under
protest, but reputation is as dear to some
of US as life. Domestic infelicity and a
smirched character will often tip the beam
against gold.'' Jesse. But why so much
proneness to the village gossip style of
telling it? Undoubtedly what the spoke
centre meant to convey was that MOFFATT
was tied up in a disgraceful tangle with
the pseudo robbers and real blackmailer's
wife, and thought S21, 900 cheaper than an
erpose Why not be plain while you are

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

Even the Philadelphia american, which
is in the habit of applauding everything
which a Republican administration suggests
or sanctions, finds the humbug civil service
law lacking in usefulness. 1t says:
SIN fact, experience casts very grave
doubt on the worth of examinations as d
test of practical fitness for business duties.
and the English government were not long
in discovering that the plan of the commits
sion which devised the competitive exam
ination could not be carried out with any
thing like the thoroughness it had CON
templated.' Laws based on theories, and
which undertake to deal with men as men
should be, and not as men are, will ever
prove failures. This country has
had several years of experience with
the competitive examinations, and has
learned that these examinations, inasmuch
as they assume to get the best men for the
public service are the rankest kind of hum
bug. The best educated and must prac-
teal of the civil service commissioners
frankly admits that he could not success
fully pass the examination required, and
would have to stand aside if he were an
applicant for an Insignificant clerkship
The law was intended to check the parti-
sanship in the government departments,
and in the minor civil service, but it has
not had that effect, and never will have it.
The appointing power will find ways to
reward individuals for partisan service,
regardless of laws and competitive ex-
aminations. The party which has the
honesty to openly assai the humbug civil
service law and demand its repeal. will
make friends and do the country good
service.

rather than to others; it also shows, when
people pay more than land is actually
worth, that real estate in Salt Lake is in de-
mand.
But the very best answer that can be
given to those who are protesting against
what they assert are extravaganza prices is
the fact that the buyers at these prices are
never willing to part with their bargains
without an advance. High as the prices
are with the original owners they are in
variabiy raised by buyers.
We think the real estate owners who
want to sell will be wise to get all they can
for their property, and we also think they
will not have to wait long to get all they
are now asking for their possessions.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-08-20
REAL ESTATE PRICES.

THE HERALD cannot agree with those who
urge that the prices of real estate in Salt
Lake are too high. and that it would be
better if they were reduced. Better for
whom? Not for the owners of the land
certainly; and as they are the parties who
should be most interested, if they ere no
we cannot understand why others should
be concerned. Real estate, if for SALE is
worth what it will fetch, and if not
much, according as the owner may
value it in a sent mental sort of way.
The land in Salt Lake that is for sale
seems to be worth the price asked, for COM
paratively little of it stays long on the
market, and most of that which is pur
chased for speculative purposes is soon dis
posed of for more than the Spectator paid.
These facts furnish complete refutation
Of the assertion so often heard that prices
are so outrageously high that they are
soaring would-be investors away.
But suppose the prices are SO high that
those who are thinking of buying are dis
couraged and go away without exchanging
their money for title deeds, does that furnish
a reason why the owners should put a
lower value on their landl We think not.
The argument Of some appears to be that
it is duty which JOHN Doe, the owner of
a lot for which he asks 5000, owes to
somebody or to the. community, TO sell his
lot to RICHARD Roe for $500. But the
argument stops there, failing to give
reasons for this alleged duty. If it can be
shown to Mr.. Doe that he should take half
what he asks for his property and
leave the town in order that Mr.
Roe shall be convinced that prices
are not too high, perhaps the
former will be sufficiently self-sacri-
ficing and kind-hearte1 to comply. And
perhaps he won't. We rather think he
won't If Mr.. ROE doesn't want the lot for
5000 he won't buy, and Mr.. Roe will
wait until so ne other fellow comes along
aud pays his price.
THE HERALD likes to know that these
high prices prevail. There may exist a
wide difference between the price and the
actual value, the former be long way in
advance of the latter, and still we like to
see it, because it shows that the owners
of the land get the bene-
fits which should belong to them

GENERAL PAT COLLINS reports Governor
HILL, of New York, as saying that he was
assured thatif he would surrender SULLI-
VAN to the governor of Mississippi, the
slugger would not be imprisoned, his pun
ishment consisting of money fine. Upon
these promises, Governor LowRY's requisi-
ton was honored. If Governor HILL made
any such statement he is less shrewd than
he is generally supposed to be, and if he
surrendered the slugger on the conditions
named, and not in the interest of law and
justice, he was guilty of piece of dema-
gogy which will not rebound to his credit
We hope General COLLINS is mistaken in
this matter, as it is not pleasant to think of
Governor HILL descending to things which
should be beneath the dignity of the execu-
tive of the great state of New York.

1t is quite reasonable proposition that il

inextricably involved with Great Britain

would bring it up very nearly abreast with
the more modern countries. He has two

whom speak their native tongue besides
English, French and German excellently
and they will not follow in the footsteps
of their predecessors.
1t is related of the Khedive that recently,
when it was time to gather in the taxes,
realizing how much harder times were
than usual, he curtailed the salaries of ali
national officials 10 per cent. and sur.
rendered $4,000 out of his own al
lowance to help the people along.
This is perhaps the most unpro-
gressiye thing he has lately been
guilty of: but, even with that, he would
certainly make strides but for being COM
