"There was frog that lived in spring
He caught such a cold that he could not
sing"
Poor, unfortunate, Batrachain! In
what sad plight he must have been.
And yet his misfortune was one that
often befalls singers. Many once
tuneful voice among those who be-
long to the ''genius homo" is utter
ly spoiled by "cold in the head" or
on the lungs, or both combined.
For the above mentioned "croaker'
we are not aware that any remedy
was ever devised; but we rejoice to
know that all human singers may
keep their heads clear and throats
in tune by timely use of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy and DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, both of
which are sold by druggists.
There's good story about Clemart
Scott, the journalist and poet, in

afternoon. There was no fish to be

to Scott's query. Every well," said
he, "then bring me nice bit of un-
derdone steak, although God knows

OPPOSING THE CONSTITUTION.

Mr.. A. r PARKER, editor of the Grange
I vile Qdaho) Free Press, is doing some Wig
orous work against the constitution of the
proposed state Mr. PARKER was mem
Der of the constitutional convention, and
IN that body fought some of the worst pro
visions, though without effect, as every.
thing bad that was offered was greedily ac.
oepted. In recent issue of the Frcs Press
the editor says:
Next week We hope 10 present the constitu.
ton OF the proposed state OF Idaho TO our read
ers. Although we are one of the putative
fathers OF the instrument, vet we are not AT all
proud Of our offspring. From our standpoint 1t
is monstrOSitY which ought TO be unani
mOusly voted down next November because if
il is adopted self government under its proVs-
ions becomes farce, and the power Of the people
will be but shadow and bywOrd with which
catch penny politicians will try to befOOl the
people. We want statehood for Idaho, but we
will not vote our liberties away, nor create
legislative despotism in order to attain IT,
Mr. PARKER is entitled to praise for dar-
ing to denounce the ugly thing and tell the
truth regarding the scheme of the polite
ians to capture the territory and make it a
colony of their own rather than a depend
ency of the Federal government But the
gentleman need feel not the least degree of
alarm There is no danger in sight If all
the qualified citizens in the territory were
to vote in approval Of the constitution there
would still be no danger, as the voters are
not numerous enough to cut any figure in
Congress. If the constitution were
model one, being perfect in all
its provisions, Idaho would have to wait
yet a little longer, until she could
show population and wealth equal to the
duties and responsibilities of state gov
eminent The territory is lacking in the
requisite number:o of people, is wanting in
wealth, and the constitution is an outrage
Ously ugly affair, hence ali possibility of
admission is removed. Furthermore, there
is formidable local opposition to statehood
under the constitution, and that opposition
is expected 10 assert itself at the polls in

UNNECESSARY WORRY.

The comptroller of the currency is wor.
ried. He thinks he sees danger ahead and
so thinking. imagines it is his duty to glard
against it by making timely preparations
What is giving the official anxiety at this
time is what government is going TO do to
secure the national bank circulation when
the bonds shall be redeemed He saws:
'The near approach of the time when the
public debt becomes due suggests that if
the currency feature of the national bank
system is to be perpetuated, we shall be
compelled to find something that can be
used in place of the bonds.'
The comptroller's predecessor might have
been justified in manifesting a certain de
gree of interest in this matter; but the
present comptroller is borrowing trouble.
Under the Democratic administration the
treasury surplus accumulated rapidly, and
the public debt was being paid off at such a
rate as to indicate its early extination.
That sort of thing has greatly changed
now. Instead of a debt reduction of
Sl0,O00,0 900 a month, as was the average
under CLEVELAND, the present administra-
ton manages to spend the surplus, and
last month there was debt increase of
several million dollars. 1t is true, TANNER
has been bounced, but Republican Con-
gress will soon assemble, the members
loaded TO the guards with PROPOSE
tions and schemes for subsidies and
other ways for the prevention of
the accumulation of money for taking up
of the bonds. After four years of Republi-
can extravaganza and incompetency there
must be two or three administrations of
Democratic economy and financial wisdom
to recover the lost ground and bring the
treasury up to the condition CT promising
the payment of the debt when it shall fall
due. Meantime, the comptroller will be
very foolish if he permits this matter to
deprive him of wink of sleep. He should
go right along about his other affairs,
secretly hoping that the government re
ceipts will be equal to the demands upon
the treasury, and also hoping that when the
bonds shall fall due, if it shall so happen
that the Republicans are in power, the
credit of the country will not be so badly
impaired as to prevent the floating of new
low interest security.

THE FACT that the science of photography
is not sufficiently diffused and should be
made more subject of general education
than it is or has been, is evidenced in the
charges made for that kind of work. In a
case before referee in this city
some days ago, which occupied about
an hour and half, the stehographer
charged $3.50 for that time and $3.50
for transcribing and then claimed that he
was making great reduction from the
regular rates, which was probably true.
The territorial legislature has made it pos
sible for these fancy charges to be made,
and it is to be hoped that something more
systematic and little more just will take
the place of the present regula-
tions in regard to such service.
The HERALD believes in everybody
being well and properly paid for services
rendered, and does not believe in bringing
the professions down to level in point of
compensation with unskilled labor, or of
causing science to ningle too freely with
those pursuits in which science does not
figure: but when penman can command
as much for days services as skilled
workman can make in month, it does
seem that there is readiustment needed
so mewhere.

ABUSES OF THE LAW.

A few days ago child six years of age
was sentenced by Connecticut court to a
term of fifteen years in the reform school
of tina: state, for some trifiing offense, of
course, since it is hardly possible that a
mere infant of such tender years could
commit very serious crime. The ''of-
fender'' against the laws and dignity of the
state was sent to keep company with
thieves, rascals and the long array of in
corrigibles, until he shall have grown to
manhood and become full-blown citizen
a very promising start in life, trulyl
A couple of months since a woman in
New Jersey was indicted for the awful
crime of being a common scold," was
tried, convicted and sentenced to pay a
fine of SIS, or be imprisoned
until stern justice was satisfied. The
sternness of justice in that state is not al
together comprehended by the average
reader, for the reason that the said searcher
for facts does not in all cases know that the
Judge in that case had the full power under
the law to sentence the woman to be pub
licly ducked! There is statute which
has never been removed from the books in
that state, providing that for cases
wherein wife 'scoldeth her husband, or
waggeth her tongue in a boisterous manner
at We same. y she shall be taken to the near

ity of the case. It excites more or
less ridicule abroad, OF course, and per
haps some little at home; but it is GER

THE WASHINGTON CONSTITUTION.

tits not at all probable that the Washing
ton state constitution will fail of adoption
next Tuesday Neither of the political
parties is opposed TO it, and there is no
organized opposition to it. Furthermore,
the dislike of a territorial form Of govern
ment is as pronounced up there as in the
other dependencies, the great majority of
the people being eager to escape the often
sive rule. At the same time some of the
conservative newspapers are urging the
rejection of the constitution, and present
ing reasons for their opposition. They say
that the element ambitious to hold office
predominated in the convention, and the
result is provision for more offices than are
necessary and for higher salaries than
should be paid 1t is also alleged that the
rights of the people have been fagrantly
Gsregarded in the matter of the
school and tide lands, some of the papers
going so far as to insinuate that there is a
conspiracy on foot to rob the people of
their lands The subservience to corpora
tiops which the constitution yields is
pointed out as a reason why the people
should vote against the instrument. At
the opening of the convention there was
pronounced opposition to corporations, and
the impression prevailed that in that mat
ter the constitution would be a model,
the experience of other common
wealths which had been made to
suffer by means of combinations of
capital being taken advantage Of in the
framing of provision for the protection
of the Washington people. However, the
cry was raised that the strict provisions
proposed would drive capital away from
the new state, and prevent the develop
ment of natural resources. Suddenly the
delegates became very liberal, and it is now
asserted that corporations can have things
their own way, no restrictions being placed
npCn them.
just what weight these arguments will
have with the people cannot be
told before the election, but it
is thought that the conservative,
thoughtful citizens would be willing
that the constitution should be defeated,
believing it would be better to remain a
territory a year or two longer than go in as
a state with constitution which prevents
so many opportunities for abuses and
frauds. The intelligent farmers in particu-
lar, it is said, are opposed to the constitu-
ton, as they will necessarily be the victims
Of the abuses Under it.

A DIFFERENT VERSION.

When the wires brought lot of sensa-
tional stuff from Chicago, the other day
regarding the doings of the Utah commits
sion and setting forth what was alleged tc
have been said by Governor ROBERTSON as
to the intentions of the commission, THE
HERALD advised its readers to make plenty
of allowance for the imagination of the AS
ISOLATED Press agent. Long familiarity
with the ways of the great news collecting
association and with the pains which asso-
citation 6takes1to get unreliable men tc
act as agents, has brought us to look with
suspicion upon much Of the matter viii oh
comes over the wires as news. In the in
stance referred to above, THE HERALD was,
as usual, right in suggesting that the com
missioners had been misquoted.
The commission held session on Satur-
day, and that evening Chicago Globe re-
porter had conversation with Governor
ROBERTSON, who said, among other things
There is misrepresentation as to the ma
ture of our work. l have seen printed
statements to the effect that the committee
has appointed election and registration Off
GERS and taken such other steps as will
tend to give'the Gentiles chance for rep
resentation in the Salt Lake City council ;
The work of this committee must necessar-
lily be neutral. We have done nothing and
contemplate doing nothing tending to give
either side an advantage. 1t is neither the
province nor disposition of the committee
to discriminate against either Mormon,
Gentle or Jew. Such statement misrepre-
sents the committee, which is and will re-
main a neutral body administering the laws
as they exist
Regarding the local law for the election
of officers for this city, ROBERTSON was
also made to say very ridiculous things.
To the Globe reporter he explains as fol
lows: 1.-The truth is, the laws. as they
exist, although they We're framed by the
Mormons when there were fewer Gentiles
in Salt Lake, and for the purpose of pre-
venting the Gentiles from being repre-
scented in the city council are now the
means whereby it appears the Gentiles
will at last get into that body. They de-
mand that each councilman shall receive
majority of the voters throughout the city.
III the old days when Gentiles were few in
number this was an effectual barrier Now
it is thought there is a small Gentle ma
iority. Unless that is lost in some way the
present method of voting will be the means
of obtaining a Gentle representation. But
whichever way it results the committee
organized to enforce the law will do so i'm
partially"
1t is wise man who can recognize his
own utterances after they have been re
ported by the Associated Press.
