 While Henrietta cloth remains l. regulation dress for street wea there are many beautiful and suitabl dull black wools which are made 2 for deep mourning. The deepe. mourning is necessarily a widow and all reference to the deepest mourn ing refers to widow dress. It Is i extremely bad taste to wear sucl mourning on any other occasion. Thus daughter yeas much simpler mourning, and it would be ostenta- tious for her to adopt the dress suit able for her mother. Her gown may be of dull black cashmere, camels- hair, Melrose cloth, Henrietta, or any soft silk-warped or pure wool cloth, and unless she is advanced in years. very slight trimmings of crape are considered in the best taste. Her bonnet is simple and her vail of crape or nuns vailing merely reaches to her waist and is worn over the face but few weeks. A widow usual ly wears a long vail of nuns vaiiing for ordinary occasions to save her crape vail. Nuns vailings with a wide, plain selvedge, which comes in such exquisitely fine qualities and ie so sheer it must be made over India silk, makes a cool. pleasant ma:eria for summer afternoon gowns. There are also black-lawn sewing-silk grenadines and tamise cloth which a e used in a daughters or mother mourning It is in bad taste to con tinue wearing diamonds or any gems during the period that crape is worn. This seems self-evident t. any person of taste, but this rule Is so continually violated in this country that it is necessary to repeat this. Well-meaning women, who do not in- tend to violate the canon of refined taste, sometimes wear solitaire dia- monds with a widows cap A widow may wear simple bar-pin of black enameled gold, or of onyx, but these are so plain as hardly to be classed as jewelry. Simple kerchiefs and fchus of white crepe or India null hem stitched on the border or embroidered in dots, or some such simple pattern, are worn by young ladies. Linen col lar and cuffs are suitable to wear in any mourning where crape is not, but black ruches of crepe lisse or some sheer material is only suitable with I,tv .sl a simple, light afternoon dress for a lady who has taken off crape. And there are many fne-striped black-and- white foulards and delicate'y figured foulards suitable for this purpose and for morning gowns or white foulard dotted with black. Children seldom wear mourning in this country. a. though in some families even the serv- ants are expected to wear blaci dress while the family are in crape While many people now do not wear mourning, and the custom i3 by n; means increasing, it is best that al who prefer to adopt the ess during their period of grief should be guided by the simple rules of etiquette which prevail for such occasions. There is nothing more objectionable than ill., chosen or ostentatious mourning, when the dress, which is protection to the wearer from all claims of socie- ty and an indication of her scclusion, becomes the means of making her vulgarly conspicuous. Good House keeping.

THE TAX FOR WATER MAINS.

The city council has decided that at some
time in the future the policy in regard to
extension of water mains will be what THE
HERALD of last Sunday recommended, viz. ::
that the mains be laid without special as
sessment. 1t is an encouraging thing to
know that some time or other this manifest
injustice will be done away with, even II
the admission from the council to that
effect comes somewhat tardily. And yet
as good time as any other in which to
remedy this evil. Can it be that there is
absolutely no money in the city treasury
with which this could be dore? Ii such is
the case, then it will be an easy matter to
borrow money enough on the present city
assessment for this purpose. We hope the
council will see the matter in this light and
proceed at once to right the wrong.
The special tax for the extension Of the
water mains is unjust and oppresslve; for
either of these reasons it should be abated
if possible. ~.
The people OF the outlying parts of the
city should not be compelled to pay all the
expenses of laying the mains after having
paid their proportion for laying the mains
in the central parts.
We think the council will secure univer-
sal commendation by abolishing the special
assessments for water mains. Such action
would be very grateful to the citizals to
day, would be just to ali, and would meet
with no objections. We trust that the
council will sacrifice other things rather
than continue the tax for water mains.

that attribute from it. they in effect so far as
their trade and their influence could go, re-
duced the money of the world by 80 per cent,
which could have had no effect except to reduce
property in a similar ratio.
Let there be no mistaking now as to what
the Tribune means: Cold fell 80 per cent,
between 1850 and 1850, and rose 50per cent,
between 1870 and 1880.
We need hardly say that both these
propositions are gratuitous exaggerations.
No such fuctuation occurred in either
case. The stock of the precious metals is
very slow to change. Men take good care
of gold; it is not put to rough uses as the
baser metals are, but is mostly treasured
and kept. The result is that the world has
now accumulated great stock of gold-in
comparison, that is, with the amount pro
duced from year to year. A good part Of
the gold on hand at present was produced
centuries ago; comparatively little OF it is
of recent production. 1t is estimated that
the average yearly product is less than the
one hundredth part Of the stock on hand.
"if all the gold mines in the world were
| closed for d yea., there would be no I'M
usual scarcity OF gold. If they should all
double their yield for a year the increase
of gold would hardly be appreciable. y
.Mdc Faiic. There was, of course, some de-
probation of gold in the free trade decade
and some amount of appreciation since
| 1875, but both these fluctuations have been
so small as almost to elude the observation
of the strictest watchers. Up to 1875, gold
had fallen in value, and the calculations
necessary to ascertain the amount of the
decline are hus summarized in FAwCETT' S
standard work:
After making allowance for special crcum-
stances which III different ways affect the price
Of particular commodities, we, however, GER
taiilly believe that there has been a deprecia-
ton in the value of gold This conclusion is
based upon the arguments contained in series
OF essays on the gold question by the late Pro-
tessor CAIINES. and upon an elaborate inveS-
tigation oy Professor JEvONS. Professor
JEvoNs has compared the average prices of
many hundreds of commodities since the gold
discoveries. with their prices previous to 1913
He has, with the utmost care, made allowances

crted upon the price of any particular commod
ity by causes Independent OF Change in the
value Of gold. The result of his investigations
WOULD seem TO prove that there mas Deen a rise
in the general prices amounting to 10 or 10 PEI
cent.
This was written in the year 1876 and
was intended to cover 1875.
| To prove its point, it is now necessary
for the Tribune TO show that gold fell 80 PEI

THE EAST LOSING GROUND.

The census returns are coming along
slowly. Yesterday the population figures
from two states were received. Maine
shows up with 65S, 454, an increase of $500
for the ten years, and Vermont reports
49,, 900, or loss during the ten years of
2S6. We imagine that as the computations
shall be made and the returns published
the east will realize as it has never done be-
fore that its power has been broken and the
political sceptre passed from its possession.
Every state west of the Mississippi will
show great population increase, ranging
from so to 300 per cent, while
New England has been at a stand
still or gone backward. For the
first time in its history Vermont shows
falling off. During the previous ten years
there was an increase of 1,635 between 1850
aud 1870 the increase was Ii, 1862 1t is inter
esting to note the position which Vermont
has occupied among the states and territor-
les in the matter of population. Beginning
with the first census in 1870, the state
stood twelfth in the list, Virginia standing
at the head. Ten years later Vermont ha6
dropped to thirteen, changing places will
Georgia In 1910 Vermont went down tt
fifteen, Ohio and Maine going ahead of it
At the end of the next decade Vermont hat
fallen another point, New Hampshire rank
ing her. Another drop is recorded in 1880
Connecticut going ahead. BY $40 New
Jersey and Louisiana had passed her, an6
Vermont stood twenty one. In 1850 SHIT
had fallen to twenty three, and by 1860 hat
gone down to twenty eight, Arkansas ani
California having left her in the race. Tel
years later Vermont had gone down tw
more points and Kansas was ahead. Their
was another descent of two places by 1880
when of the forty-seven states and terri
tories Vermont ranked thirty two in thu
scale of population, Nebraska oversizin
her this time There will be furthe
descent now, for South Dakota, Florida an,
Washington will lead her.
But what we intended to say was tina
: if the next Congressional apportionmen
shall be fair and equitable the east will n
longer dictate to the west in national al
fairs, but will be relegated to the plac
which has been occupied by the west dur
ing all the years Of the republic. The
; may call it the woody west or what the
will, but they will have TO accept such law
as the west is willing to give, just as tn
west has been made to bow before the east
taking what it could get and being oblige
to put up with it.

THE sAND-BAGGERS.

We 10 not say it in the spirit OF ar alarm
list, but we say it in all earnestness, that
some action must be taken looking to the
suppression of the footpad evil in this city.
Hold-ups and knock downs are Of almost
nightly occurrence, and these deeds are
committed on the more public streets.
Within few days two worthy young men
have died from the effects of bcatings by
sand baggers, while others have been
dubbed nearly to death. One OF these
fatal beatings occurred within q few rods
Of police Headquarters and early in the
evening. 1tis certain that the murderers
in neither instance have been arrested, anu
if one of the fellows who are terrorizing the
community has been caught the fact has es-
capped ns. We arc not now going to find
fault with the policemen, nor are we going
TO ask for au increase OF the force. Within
the past four months the force has been
doubled without perceptible Improvement
in tho work Of suppressing crime and pro-
tecting the public. The officers probably DO
as well as they can.
It being apparent, however. that the regu-
lar municipal constabulary is unequal to
the task of affording the necessary protec
ton, and to the work of bringing the high
waylnen who infest the city to pun
ishment, relief must be looked for in ano
Their direction, and what other direction car
we look than TO extra or special police
patroll In the past, when the city has beer
infested with toughs like those now here
special police service has been organized
aud private citizens have taken turns pa
trolling their respective districts. La every
instance this has been effective, the scoun-
drels either being caught or taking alarm
and fleeing TO healthier climes. Why cal
not such rule be inaugurated now. If i
were known that watchmen were abroad
tramping all the streets On the keen lool
out for footpads, the latter would a
once conclude that Salt Lake wa
dangerous place in which t
ply their trade, and would betake them
selves TO other fields.
w also suggest the propriety of the reg
ula- police now and then moving away fror
the heart of the city and taking strolls o
half mile or such matter along the sid
streets. AS a matter of fact there is les
call for police on East Temple street
where the patrolmen stay most of the time
than or other streets where an officer
rarely seen.
1t is always in order to advise men VIII
are on the streets after nightfall to carr
weapons of defense and to take the fewes
possible chances when encounteriug stran
gers. If yoa have an equal show with
ssnd-bagger he Will not disturb you; 1t
only when he has the advantage that
makes an assault.

A DEFEATED ORGAN.

tits with a merely natural commisera-
ton of an endorsed opponent that we knock
the last prop from under the final protec-
ton argument Of our morning contempt
rary. Amid al its antiquities and shuifies,
wehave extorted from its reluctant editor
his definite explanation of the fact that ac-
cording TO the Census of the country, TIC
United States had enjoyed double tue pros
perity under free trade that it had under
protection. In other words, tho total
wealth of this country had increased over
100 per cent, during the free trade decade
from 1850 TO 1850, and the wealth per head
had increased s306, but the total wealth had
increased only 43 per cent, under the pro
lection decade from 1870 to 1850, and the
wealth per head had increased only $50
CTentb Census of the United States, vol
VII, page 81.
The fribunc's first explanation, not very
clearly stated, was that the great increase
in wealth during the free trade era was
caused by the immense production Of GOLD
in California.
The HERALD then showed that the pro
duction of gold and silver during the pro
lection era had been as great as the pro
duction Of gold had been during the fret
trade era.
The Tf-fblne then drew some confusing
distinctions between gold and silver, which
TIE HERALD simply ridiculed.
The Tribune then invoked the AUTHORITY
of the British statistician MULHALL, bu
found that it was HoBsoN's choice between

there was the devil on one side of it an,
the deep, sounding sea on the other.
But now comes the final effort. which
however, the Tribune says has been it
position all along. If it really meant al
along what it now says, we are perfcctl
willing TO drop all other aspects of TIL
question and discuss this last defense whic
our neighbor sets up.
Here it is:
We do MAINTAIN that the reason the Unit e
States doubled in wealth between 1856 and lss
under free trade, and in spite OF free trade, wa
thut the country produced so much gold tha
gold fell in value. That was part Of the reaso
we gave. That is. gold as a standard OF value
fell in value as compared with the propert
outside. The purchasing power of the dolla
fell 50 per cent. That is, it required twice a
many dollars to buy cargo of wheat or carg
Of corn or an acre of land in 1859 as it did
1919.
In regard to the protection period, th
explanation is:
