An evening paper here publishes the story
that the duty on hides to which New Eng
land is so opposed was put back on the un-
derstanding that the Pan-American Con-
gress has been the means of opening the way
for an extensive scheme of reciprocity with
South America. As hides come from there
largely this would Offset the duty. But wool
also comes from South America, and a reci-
procity treaty would probably have to cover
wool also. The story seems hardly reasonable
SO far as it relates to the motives of the ways
and means committee.

New salt Lake CITY.

The news that was wired from Salt
Lake City Monday that the Gentiles
had elected the entire city ticket was
the best that has been flashed from
Utah for years. The redemption from
Mormon rule Of the fair city not only
means material prosperity to it and
the Territory, but it means that Nor
monism, as political power, has re-
ceived its death blow in the United
States, and that it sill be compelled
to seek other lands for the practice OF
its vile doctrines. This is as it should
be. There is no room for the propa-
CATION and practice OF Mormonism on
even one acre Of this fair land. The
regeneration places Utah where it be-
longs in the line OF Statehood and the
rapid strides it must make under the
new order OF things will soon accom-
plish that. For the result the people
Of the United States will return thanks
to the noble band who, for years, have
led the unequal contest. They are de-
serving of all praise and will surely
have it. There is a general regret that
ex-Gov. Murray was not continued in
Office TO reap the rewards that so
Justly belong to him, for to him, Judge
Goodwin Of the Tribune, Judge Zane
and few others belong the credit.
They fought the good fight in the face
Of obstacles; in fact with their lives
in their hands, yet they never faltered.
This is especially true of Judge Good
win, and the Tribune, and to him to-
day the country sends greeting as the
ablest champion in the wonderful fight
that has resulted in creating a new
Salt Lake city. May he live long TO
enjoy the fruits of his fight and see
his fair home grow and prosper and
take its place among the most favored
cities OF the land.-Butte Mining Jour

How They live,

An old bull which had wandered up
from the valley yesterday partook of
a square meal off lot OF scraps OF
meat which had been thrown out from
the Tuscarora market, which he de-
voured with the avidity Of a starving
coyote. Half dozen fortunate bo-
vines are picking up fair livings from
the manure piles in Fred Wilson's sta
BILE and corral, while probably twenty
five or thirty OF their yagrant relatives
are trying to exc out existences around
town by picking up stray mouthiuls OF
any kind OF sustenance wherever they
can get it, The little band OF burros
Is doing better. They appear to thrive
on loosened house battens, woodpiles,
pasteboard boxes, bits OF paper, old
playing cards and such other truck as
Is thrown and swept out OF the stores
and saloons. In the valley there are
hundreds Of cows and steers the
switches Of whose tails have been
eaten off to the bone by their famish-
ing kind, and many Of the horses are
maneless and nearly tailless from the
same cause. The above, which Is no
exaggeration, shows 10 what desperate
straits the famishing animals are re-
duced for food supply to prolong their
miserable lives for few days. 1t is q
pitiful condition OF things and no per-
son with a drop OF the milk OF human
kindness in his moral composition can
withhold his sympathy for the unfor.
tunate brutes.-Times- Review.

kissing Mother.

How many young ladies' OF to-day
would laugh at the absurd idea, as
they express it, of kissing mother. You
cannot, imagine, dear girls, how it will
brighten her dear face. Beside, you
owe her kiss or two. Away back,
when you were little girl, she kissed
you when no one else was tempted by
by your feverish breath and swollen
face. You were not as attractive then
as you are now. And through those
years OF childish sunshine and shad-
ows she was always ready to cure by
the magic OF a mothers kiss the little,
dirty, chubby hands whenever they
We're injured in those first skirmishes
with the rough world. And then the
midnight kisses with which she routed
so many bad dreams Is she leaned
above your restless pillow, have all
been on interest these long years. OF
course, she is not SO pretty and kissa-
bic as you are, but il you had done
your share of work these last ten
years the contrast would not be so
marked. Her face has more wrinkles
than yours, and yet If you were sick
that face would appear far more beau
tiiul than an angels as it hovered
over you, watching every opportunity
TO minister to your comfort, and every
one OF those wrinkles would seem TO be
bright wavelets OF sunshine chasing
each other over the dear ace.-Loco
