A Hapnx and Faxored snider.

Far up in the corner of my room is
big black cobweb, and big black spider
dwells therein. He has dwelt there
quite year now, and although many
surreptitious feminine glances of horror
at the wretched housekeeping of some
people steal up to that corner my happy
spider is never disturbed think he al
most loves me now; he comes down
often, dropping inch by inch, by thin
golden thread, and he runs rapidly and
twinkling-legged over my table and pa
pers, pausing for moments at time to
look at me with bright, unwinlzing eyes
and motionless body.
Happy, happy fellow! He has his
health, his spirits, and his home with a
tiny sweetheart locked therein, where
no covetous eyes may find her. What
more could he ask to make him happy?
But one day-ah, me.-some one else
will come into this room with an alert
eye for cobwebs and strong hand
to remove them. and then. then-when
he is homeless and friendless and hope
less my spider may understand how
right down good l was to him.-Ella
Higginson in West Shore.

BULLDoZING In IDAHO.

1t is contemplate game which DUBOIS
and his Republican henchmen, the federal
officials, are playing in Idaho. We are glad
that some of the papers up there have the
courage to denounce the business, notably
the Ketchum keystone. In its latest issue
1t says:
The shameless manner in which the federal
officials running things in the southeastern
counties of Idaho is enough TO make one wonder
whether those counties belong to the north or
the south. Intimidation generally refers TO the
colored people; but this new state OF Idaho
has so greatly advanced the theory of the strong
arm. that it is made to cover the whites. Nearly
two years ago general election was held,
courts have been regularly in session from term
TO term, grand juries have assembled and been
discharged; during all this period nothing was
said or thought about irregularities at the last
election in 1855: but cow on the eve of another
election. that section is covered all over with
Deputies with writs in their hands. arresting
electors for alleged illegalities at the last cleo
ton. If several hundred men arrested were
really guilty in registering and voting so long
ago. these officials ought TO be discharged from
their offices FOR not finding it out before this.
If courts and their officers are here simply as
instruments OF oppression and wrong we had
that four counties of EIdaho are now overrun
with Official desperadoes, arresting hundreds of
old citizens for alleged olIenses committed
two years ago. and only now brought to block
in the face of another election. is sufficient con-
deunation of itself.
the keystone does not expose the motive
of this peculiar proceeding which has here
tofore been noted in TIE HERALD. All
those for whom warrants have been issued
and who are being run inn by the official
ruffians acting in the name of the United
States, are Mormons or Democrats, not a
solitary Republican being found in the en-
the danger they are IN. They fear defeat
and apprebend that the new state viii give
its first majority for the Democrats. Hence
this bulldozing and intimidation. Men
are to be terrorized, if possible, into
staying away from TIE polls and
the loss of their votes. If they can
be made to feel that 1t viii be dangerous to
vote. that they VIII lay themselves liable to
prosecution by Vicious officers in partisan
courts, some may surrender the suffrage
rather than run the risk of trouble 1t is a
bold and desperate game that the Republi-
cans ere playing, but we do not believe it
will succeed. We do not believe that one
Democrat viii be frightened, or that one
will. through threats or bulldozing, fail to
perform his whole duty to himself and his
party. That duty is to down FRED DUBOIS
and the gang, and place proud Idaho in the
column of Democratic states.

THE DEFEATED ORGAN.

The Tribune pretends to be merry overits
tariff defeat, and says the debate has been
very comical. 1t has indeed
The Tribune challenged THE HERALD to
name country that had prospered under
free trade. The HERALD, nothing loath,
did so by quoting the Tenth Census of the
United States, vol. VII, page s, as follows:
During ten years of free trade the total
wealth of the United States had increased
over 100 per cent, and t e wealth per head
had increased s206. The free trade era was
from 1850 to 1850. During the protection era
from 1870 to 1880 the wealth per head in
creased only 800 and the total wealth in
creased only 43 per cent.
This is simply what the census said; it is
not any opinion of The HERALD, or of any
one else. Then the Tribune said:
In that decade (lS59 1850 California poured
into the treasury of the country over $780,
100000 in gold, and that doubled the price of
all property between the Atlantic and the Mis-
sissippi.
To which The HERALD simply quoted
the United States census again:
From 1876 to 1860, fourteen years the produc-
ton of gold and silver in the United States was
$3.50, 100000; the production of gold and silver
during the next twenty years from 1860 to 1880
was Si,3G0,0tn,000 If six hundred millions
caused remarkable prosperity during fourteen
years, what kind of pro sperity should be caused
by thirteen hundred millions in twenty years?
These are simply the census figures, not
ours.
Then the Tribune became wroth and
called TIE HERALD, "a hopeless idiot,' q
monkey" ''jabberiug IDIOT and other
pleasant names. A few days later it said :
We do maintain that the reason the
United States doubled in wealth between 1855
and 1860 under free trade, and in spite of free
trade was that the country produced so much
gold that gold fell in value. That is gold as q
standard Of values fell in value as compared
with property outside. The purchasing power
of the dollar fell fifty per cent; that is it re-
quired twice as many dollars TO buy q cargo OF
wheat or cargo of corn or an acre of land in
1859, as it did in 1919. s. When lin 1879
the government of the United States and the
chief nations OF Europe demonetzed silver
they in effect reduced the money OF the world by
50per cent. which could have had no effect ex
cept to reduce property values in similar
ratio. 1t did not quite reach 30 per cent. be.
cause India and China still recognized silver as
money.

DO YOU REMEMBER.

Do you remember when the leaves were fading,
Dropping like the golden rain
Your aZCre eyes knew naught Of sorrows sh:d-
inc,
Nor any tinge of pain)?
We walked beneath, the trees: the moon was
shining
Mid fieecy clouds above,
Just showing US their inner, silver lining;
Do You remember, love?
Do you remember when tile birds were calling
Sadly from naked bougis,
And softly, silently the turf was falling
On furrows made b. plows;
And when the plumage of the angels whitened
Both field and river shore.
felt ycnr fingers round my own were frightened

And just to think the year is not yet vanished.
Ard We are far apart
Like two lost souls from Loves sweet Eden ban
tshed
Sent forth with pierced hearth
Perhaps tie pest is scarcely worth regrotting
And Lethe comes to all;
Perhaps there is pleasure in forgetting
Scenes past beyond recall
And should it come to this, will you remember,
Who autumn comes apace.
And leaves are falling through q dreer November
Like tears on Natures face,
The good old, tender days when earth seemed
resting
Beneath your sunny smile,
In quiet peacefulness its joy attesting,
And sorrows slept awhile?
Yet should the future bring to you repining.
A craving for the past,
Remember always clouds have silver lining
And even love may last;
That f. m the tossing seas the ships come sailing
Laden with precious freight,
All careless of the winter winds loud waiiing-

A prominent Pittsburg manufacturer
said to a reporter the other day:
1 would like TO be for PATTIsoN for Governor,
but it is d matter of blu siness with me to be for
DELAMATER. A number of us have received
notice that we must support DELAMATER if we
expect QUAY to look after our interests at
Washington. 1 am satisfied that the reduction
i'll the duty on glass voted by the Senate on
Monday was at the suggestion of QUAY, and
that the purpose was not really to reduce the
duty, but to scare the manufacturers OF glass
into line. predict that those engaged in the
manufacture of iron and steel will get similar
warning before the consideration of the metal
schedule is completed. / am satisfied that
these reductions of duty are not intended TO
stand unless we refuse to do as QUAY COM
mands, but have no doubt that they will go
through unless we come 10 his terms.
1t is shameful that man should talk in
this strain. 1t is disgraceful that political
boss should have such power that he can
compel men to do wrong against their
better instincts in order to protect them
selves against his viciousness. 1t is
shocking that the United States Congress
can be used as whip to hold men in line
against their own party and against what
they know to be right. We are not saying
that because of this ugly and awful condi-
ton of affairs the nation Is going to the
demnition bowwows, but we are saying
that little more of the boss rule as applied
by Quay will cause the American people to
rise in their majesty and might and
sweep aside the scoundrels who are
using politics as means of plundering the
masses for their private gain. The people
one of these days will make 1t impossible
for any man to induce the Senate to send
out a threat that unless men vote certain
ticket and support certain candidates fol-
office their business will be ruined by legis
lation. When the voters become thor
oughly aroused to the corruption and
scoundrelism and bossism in and out OF
Congress, the QUAYs and their tools anG
henchmen will go by the board, and more
honest, if less cunning, men will come tc
the front.

more than hundred clerks employed in
the pension bureau have applied for pen
sions under the new law which provides
for those unable to earn support Says
the Tribune: ''Many of these thoughtful
but enterprising patriots are, it is true, al
ready drawing comfortable salaries from
the treasury of the United States-salaries
much larger, in fact, than they ever earned
in their lives before, or would be able to
earn if they were relegated to the shades
of private life. but with an eye single to
the prompt repletion of their respective
wallets they rush CALAMITY to the charge
sidered TRIES as a pension of SD per
month with an enchanted ardor worthy OF
the stirring days of l. CO
Our esteemed New York contemporary is
largely responsible for the recklessness, the
extravaganza and the demagogy which
characterize our pension laws. In season
and out Of it the Tribune has advocated PEN
sions, not as rewards for patriotic services
nor because the ex-sodiers were really
needy, but to win votes for the Republican
party. If the miscalled generosity has been
carried too far and there is danger of bank
ruptcy coming upon the country by reason
of s9uandering money that the Republicans
may continue in power, the New York
paper and its followers may blame them
selves for the evil that has been wrought
The hungry clerks in the departments and
the tens of thousands of ex-soldiers are not
to be censured If they take advantage of
what has been done and accept the hearty
invitation to put their hands into the wide
open pocket of Uncle Sam.

IT SEEMS that at the late election few
ballots were cast for j. H. RUMEL for re-
corder, the regular nominee on the indie
pendent Workingm ems and the Peoples
tickets being j. H. RuMEL, ir. Certain
Liberals, it is said, propose to take advan-
tage of the omis sion of the suffix and count
Mr.. RUMEL out. To do this, if it can be
done, would be mighty small business and
unworthy any political party which lays
any claim to fairness. The intention of
the voter should govern, and we believe it
will govern in law. Every eIector who de-
posted a ballot for j. H. RUMEL thought
he was voting for the son aud not the
father, the former being the party nomi-
nee. AT the recent school election Lib
eral candidate was Mr. t. G. ARMSTRONG,
jr.; when it came to the canvass of the
votes it was found that number of ballots
had been cast for T. c. ARMSTRONG. The
People raised no objection, for the reason
that the son was the nominee and candi-
date, and the clear intention Of the elector
was to vote for him. The result was that
the votes for T. g. ARMSTRONG and T. c..
ARMSTRONG. jr., were all counted for the
latter. No party can afford to take advan-
tage of a technicality such as this to gain
an office.

AN INTERVIEW WITH A SCIENTIFIC GEN.
TLEMAN CONCERNING THE HUMAN
LUNGS AND CATARRH.

A HERALD reporter had quite lengthy
talk with DR.. Longeay yesterday On the
formation of the human lungs. and the
changes to which they are subjected, and
gained some very valuable Information. A
portion, of his talk is appended:
''In popular language the term cdtdrrh is
applied Unfortunately TO almost any dis
eased condition OF the mucous membrane
at the nasal passages. The use of the
term is usually misleading. Thus, person
is sometimes said TO have catarrh who is
really suffering from some other form OF
disease; and, On the other hand, many a
LerSon has catarrh who thinks that the
trouble is of a different character. In con-
sequence of this misuse of the term, many
persons have been led seriously 10 injure
themselves By the use Of various nostrdms
and so-called specifics for the cure OF Ca
tarrh, when all They needed was d little in
telligent medical attention to have restored
them 10 good health. The mucous MEM
braEc is very delicate and susceptible,
and It's functions are extremely important
1t should not be SUBJ cted TO eXperlme hts.
The instrument being used by Drs.
Hume and Lougeay Tor the permanent cure
of catarrh and lung troubles is rev and
very embellishments invented by DIR.
Weigert, very eminent physician and
surgeon OF Germany. This method has
been employed in AL the great countries of
Europe, including England, Germany,
France, Austria and Italy, and with
great success. In some instances the re-
suits were astonishing. The instrument
has lately been introduced in America and
has the endorsement of come of the most
eminent physicians on the continent. Ev-
erywhere 1t has been used it has been ac-
corded very hearty Communications. In
Europe sucn eminent gentlemen as Prof.
Frankel and DIR. Lowe, of Berlin; Prof.
Schnizler, of Vienna; Prof. Hinctard aud
Dr.. Bonnie, of Paris; Prof. Christopher, of
Constantinople; DIR. Leechi, OF San Reno,
are using this instrument.
Trey are also used in Bellevue hospital,
New York; st. Mary's hospital, Detcoit,
and other prominent eastern hospitals.
We can, indeed, welcome such eminent
specialists in our midst as Drs. Hume and

CENSUS EXPOSURES.

Some of the party organs which were
keen to rush the Republican territories into
the union as states are now calling atten-
ton to the wrong that was done to the
older states by the taking in of the six
new ones. The census is also exposing
certain things which the Republican politi-
clans would prefer TO remain unknown.
Tor instance, the great territory of Da-
kota pretended to take census, and
showed by the alleged count that it had q
population of $4,000. On this statement
admission was demanded, and the Repub-
licans maintained that it was shameless
outrage to keep SO great and growing a
community in a state of territorial bond
age. The plan was effective. and instead
of maxi ing one state Congress created two
out of the broad domain. Two years after
the private count the government makes
an enumeration, and is able to find in the
two states only SIS, 542 inhabitants, 25 per
cent, of whom went in after the census
OF 1885,
Before her admission Montana claimed q
population of Us. 600, and the politicians
and state boomers were willing to guaran-
tee that the census enumerators in June
1890. would list 225 900 names The census
schedules from Montana have just been
counted, and the population is found to be
lbs, 1913, or about a hundred thousand less
than that of Utah.
More than year ago Idaho was claiming
10000 and the politicians said the inhabi
tants would number 100000 by the time ad
mission came. The territory was taken in
and SO were others, for rough count OF
the schedules discloses population of some
thing over 90,0Oo
Wyoming's governor certified to 100000
and the figures were repeated in Congress
and in official reports. The count has MOI
yet been completed at the census bureau
but seIni-of1icial statement expresses
doubt that the population will reach $4,000
Washington is the only enc of the six
territories taken into the union which held
up and made good its professions. 1t wen
somewhat ahead of its claims and justified
the wisdom of its admission 10 the union.

evident from the columns Ct THE HERALD
this morning. No surer trade barometer ex-
lists than the columns of the representative
newspaper of a city. If they are teeming
with business announcements, it may be
taken as a sure indication that trade is in a
satisfactory condition. THE HERALD has
always led with a larger proportion Of
advertisements, and advertisements of a
cleaner and better class, than any of its
competitors, and the lead is more than
maintained this morning, when business
men begin to crowd the best medium they
have for reaching all classes of purchasers

LAST NIGHT the police 'spulled" all the
principal gambling dens. This is wrong,
for if there are no footpads in Salt Lake
land the city marshal unanimously said
there were not day or so ago. there GER
tainly are no gambling dens. At least there
are no ''well authenticated cases" of them.
Last January the Salt Lake papers, not
exactly with pride, hut with kind of sup
pressed pleasure, pointed at Ogdens i'm
morality. We shall expect to see some of
the enterprising Journalists of Ogden
quietly come to our city, GO through all its
dives, dens and hells and then write them
up, giving the names # the places and
their location.
