SALT LAKE CITY and Denver enter O

SALT LAKE CITY and Denver enter a
vigorous protest against the re-employ-
ment of Il. p. Vining as traffic manager
of the Union Pacific. The only basis for
the report OF Winnings return to the COM
pany was the belief that the transfer of
ownership meant the resurrection of the
old force and revival of the methods
which made the company more enemies
than friends in the past Winnings ability
ms traffic manager was not what it was
cracked up to be. II consisted chiefly of
a mania TO divide and sub-divide freight
grades and multiply classifications to an
extent never before attempted by any
railroad corporation. By this means he
succeeded in swelling the receipts with
out direct advance of rates and gained
credit for shrewdness at the expense OF
the productive industry OF the west, But
the financial gain TO the company was
overbalanced by the number of enemies
multiplied by Winnings total lack OF
courtesy and domineering disposition.

A DEFECT IN THE MONETARY SYSTEM

A DEFECT IN THE MONETARY SYSTEM.
The secretary of the treasury in his
annual report states it to be his judg-
ment that the gravest defect in our
present financial system is its lack of
elasticity, but he does not suggest a
remedy. He remarks that the national
bank system supplied this defect to some
extent by the authority which the banks
have to increase their circulation in
times of stringency, and to reduce when
money becomes abundant, but by reason
of the high price of bonds this authority
has ceased to be OF much practical value
There Is reason to believe that the
secretary had contemplated presenting
plan intended to provide that when
there was surplus Of money in circula-
tion 1t could be invested in government
bonds bearing n low rate Of interest,
and when money should become scarce
these bonds could be immediately con-
Verled into currency at the treasury.
Such an inter-convertibie bond plan has
been proposed several times in the past
without meeting with much favor, and it
is quite probable the secretary was per.
suaded that it would not be judicious to
offer it now, at least as an administration
measure A bond Of this kind running
indefinitely, although it carried nomore
than two per cent interest, might provo
TO be an attractive investment and would
possibly effect the purpose of giving
greater elasticity to the currency, but

4 DEPLETED TREAS ERY.

The cXtravagant recklessness OF the
combine is already apparent in the de-
pleted condition of the city treasury.
Despite the vaunted financial abilities
of the defunct swatch dog" of the COM
bine, the council is brought face to face
with an exhausted general fund.
Comptroller Goodrich reports tho
funds for the following branches ex-
hausted Mayors Office, superintendent
of plumbing, feeding prisoners, watch.
men, appraisers, hopitals, el ections,
compiling tax lists and city lighting.
Several other funds will be exhausted
with the payment of the November LA
bilities.
This is charming specimen Of 'busi-
ness methods in city affairs"
THE BEE warned the council at the
beginning of the year that retrenchment
was necessary not only toprevent a deficit
but to protect the taxpayers from the
raids of useless Office holders. The re.
duced amount of public work, the crea-
tion of new departments, the division of
work formerly performed by few men,
dlu lile oppression WHICH peFVuucu
building operations, justified radical
reduction of the city forces.
But the combine not only refused tc
curtail expense but actually multiplied
Offices, sanctioned inflated salaries to in.
competents in the city clerks Office,
maintained the three tools of the Twen.
ty-eighters in the plumbing inspectors
Office where one competent man could
have done tho work and paid them
wages for weeks devoted exclusively tC
furthering the political fortunes of the
boodlers, The same spirit of extrava
gance was permitted in other depart
ments, with the result of depicting the
funds before the close of the year.
The condition OF the city treasury calls
for an immediate routing of the tax-eat
ers. For weeks they have performed nj
actual labor for the city. On the con.
trary, they have conspired to override
the will of the voters at the primaries
and at the polls, preventing an express
sion of honest sentiment at the former
and endeavoring to thwart the will OF
the people at the latter.

Husband and wife Granted Divorce
Within an Hour.

LINCOLN Nob., Dec. 5.-TSpecial to The
BEE. Lancaster countys district court Is
noted for its quick divorce cases, but the
record was challenged this morning. Jacob
II. Bowers filed his petition about 10 o'clock,
asking for divorce from his wife Sara on
the ground that she was too free in the use OF
razor and loaded revolver while he was
around the house, and also was inclined to
draw on him for cash as though he was u
national bank The wife filed an answer
forthwith denying the allegations, and an
hour afterwards the court made them two.
Bowers Is a prominent nurseryman,
DoN'T LIKE his HABITS.
Minerva Young thinks that she ought to
have a divorce, and tells the district court
why. She sayes that James, her husband is
very irregular in his habits inasnuch rs he
goes away from home for week at q time,
but is very regular in that every time he gets
drunk he comes home TO sleep 1t of. On ono
occasion no attempted to climb the stairs
with n lighted lamp, and as n result there was
call for the ire department. On other occa-
sions she and her daughter have found him
dead drunk In the barn, and as they could not
move him had TO cover him over with bcauti-
full hay She would also like little slice Of
alimony.

ODDS AND ENDS.
j. j. Kelsey and man named Arnold were
arrested this morning on a warrant sworn
out by the county attorney charging them
with the larceny OF SAC worth of lumber from
the county. The lumber piles of the accused
and those of the company adjoined one an
other, and the men say the lumber got
mixed up. They waived examination and
gave 800 bonds to appear in district court.
John Mcintosh filed suit in the county
court today against the city, claiming S253
for flooding his Office in the Montgomery
block, due to the torn-up condition of the

The impending session of the legislature
will be Of vital concern to the people OF this
state. II is of the utmost Importance that
members OF the legislature shall understand
the wants Of their constituents and be pre-
pared to grapple intclllgcntly and advlscdly
with the issues that must come before them.
The BEE therefore invites suggestions from
those who are familiar with any particular
subject that Is likely to engage the attention
Of the legislature, Parties favorng us, how
ever, are requested to make their communt-
cations as brief as possible and to the point.
II Is to be understood that THE BEE will not
be responsible for the published views OF con-
tributors, and it reserves the privilege Of dis
cussing them in its own way and from the
standpoint which it deems best for the inter-
csts OF the people.

IT IS exceedingly doubtful whether
any public building bill will pass con-
gress this session. Under ordinary con-
ditions it requires considerable pressure
to secure action on such measures during
a short session, This year they are over
shadowed by increased regular appro-
priations, which will not leave enough
of surplus to warrant any large eX-
penditure in new public buildings. The
determination to pass the elections bill is
likely to seriously antagonize not only
the forty public building bills on the
calendars, but to prevent consideration
of all the regular appropriation bills:
Under these circumstances, aspiring
cities will spare themselves the pangs of
defeat by placing little trust in congress.

THE editor of the national organ OF
the Farmers Alliance, in an interview,
hints that the opposition of that organ
ization to the financial system of the
country is soon to take pointed turn.
He says that for five months they have
had lawyers at work preparing a case
for the courts, in which they will at
tempt to show that the payment of all
premiums on bonds is illegal and un-
necessary, and that the $4,000, 900 used
for that purpose has been wasted. 1t
will be claimed that all bonds are now
due and payable at par. This is one of
the points of campaign against the
financial system that bids fair to be very
aggressive

they compare with a considerable num-

CHICAGO, Dec. Especial Telegram to
THE BEE Tho great stockyards quest tion is

Of yesterdays meeting of the packers, other

this, taken in conjunction with the meeting

Tho Physiology nf Taste.

The lOcaliZ2tion Of the different forms OF
taste sensations is q subject which is usual
~ cursorily passed over in text books, with
the statements that the posterior third,
the tip and sides of the tongue only are
sensitive; that sweet substances are best
perceived by the tip, bitter ones at the
back and so on. Science calls attention TO
the results of observations By Oehrwall,
who, by the aid Of lens, stimulated the
Individual papilfae by means of a fine
brush dipped in solutions Of sugar, qui-
nine. aceCic acid and salt. he found that,
as had before been observed, the circun-
vall2te papillas were particularly sensitive,
but that on the sides and tip the fungiform
papiliIe only were sensitive. He estimated
that in the whole tongue there were $50 to
400 of these papille of which he found 125
only to respond to stimuli.
Many of them appeared to be excited by
all four of the substances employed, but in
other cases papill9 were found to respond
to one form of stimulus but not to another
Thus 10 per cent responded to acetic acid,
but not to sugar; a per cent. which were
sensitive to acid were unaffected by qui-
nine, while IS per cent. which recognized
sugar did not respond at all to the applica-
ton Of qLininc All of the papiIls were
sensitive TO touch, pain, heat and cold.
When stimulated by q mild fsradic cur
rent an acid taste only was excited. He
confirmed the observations Of older au-
thors, that most of the anterior two-thirds
of the dorsum Of the tongue was devoid Of
gustatory papill8.

A Terrible Experience.

While the great and destructive fires
were raging and roaring in the noun
tains Harry Winter and w. N. Jorgen-
son, at Ike Klopp's miners cabin, in
Grant county, Ore, were right in the
midst of it. They say it was grand
yet awful sight to see the angry flames
leap from tree to tree, run up like light
ming, devouring every branch and max
ing fearful noise.
Harry gazed at the strange panorama
for some time. Finally remembering
his partners cabin, little farther down,
he said to his companion: ''Jorgensen,
iet's go down and save Ike's blacksmith
shop and mining tools while it is yet
time" They went, and found the cabin
surrounded by fire and destruction. At
ter putting all the tools in cart and
running it into tunnel they returned
to save the cabin, and while Harry stood
straddle over a little brook getting water
as best he could a limb of a tree came
down, hit him on the head, cracking the
wound ran over his face and blinded
him. He called for his partner, who
was cut off by fire and barefcoted, yet
he rushed through the heap of burn
ing Goals, fire and smoke, turning his
feet dreadfully. Harry was helpless,
yet still conscious, and it kept Ike busy
fighting fire to save him from horrible
death. They finally reached the other
cabin IN safety, but the next morning
Mr.. Jorgensen's eyes were swollen shut
and his feet full of blisters. Mr.. Whit
Ter was also sad sight to behold, and
