Vanity is the only intellectual enj "
ment of many people.
We always find wit and merit in those
WHO look at lis with admiration.
The greatest evidence of demoraliza-
ton is the respect paid TO wealth.
With women the desire TO bedeck
themselves is the desire to please.
A fool always finds some one mora
foolish than himself to admire'him.
The surest way to please is to forget
ones self aud to think only of Others.
1t is Leauty that begins TO please and
tenderness that completes the charm.
The only way to please God is to fol-

Beauty is the first gift Nature gives

James g. Blaine was asked what he
thought of the sex. He smiled and then
asked:
what sort of . woman do you refer
to?"
@Well, take for example the woman
who mounts the stump to make politi-
cal speech.
The smile vanished, and in its stead
came that perpendicular line between
the eyes which all Mr. Blaine's friends
will recognize.
Il hate that sort of woman. he said,
and he said it as if he meant it, too.
"Why do you hate herr"
Because she is out of her place God
never meant that woman should unsex
herself in that way. A woman's power
is for love, not for battles. She should
not enter the contest, but remain out
side, an infallible judge of who should
win the crown Of victory.

When ones sees such partisan outrages
MS respect for the party guilty of them
necessarily weakens, and he wonders if
there is honesty in politics The consola-
non is that retribution usually follows
crimes of this kind. The people may be
cheated and defrauded by the politicians,
out they know how to punish the
guilty. Already in Montana have they
begun to pay off those who depriy ed
them OF their duly chosen Representatives,
the voters of Butte, on Monday, repudiat-
Ing the party that stole the Senatorships.
1t will prove one of the most costly thefts
of which the Republicans were ever guilty,

punishments for carrying the methods of
the highwaymen into politics. We believe

The GOOD people of Georgetown, Idaho,
have been annoyed good deal on account
Of The irregularity of the mails, the service
being abominable. Frequent complaints
have come to THE HERALD during the past
year or two. Now comes the announce
ment that the department has decided to
discontinue the postofice, thus further i'm
posing upon the little community. There
are about five hundred inhabitants in the
town, and when their postofice shall be
abolished they will be compelled to go
twelve miles for their mail, the nearest
office being that distance from the town. 1t
seems to us that if the facts were laid be-
fore tine department officials the order dis
continuing would be revoked.

UNEXPECTED ASSISTANCE.

Even the Chicago Inter Ocean, which is
among the most bitter and unreasonable
matters Of Utah, is an enthusiastic advocate
OF the erection of federal building in Salt
Lake city. - 1t thinks the amount appro-
prlated in the Senate bill-S500, 000-about
right and deprecates the movement in the
House to cut down the sum so per cent,
which, 1t says, would be a mistake almost
as great as not making any appropriation
at all.' The paper thinks the project rises
to the dignity of national Importance, and
expresses surprise that the erection Of the
structure has been so long deferred 1t
points out that the government is losing
money every year by the present rental
system, and says that the money being paid
out for the rent of offices for the use of
the government would pay interest on
more money than it would cost to put up
such an editice as the dignity and wants of
the government would demand. Business
economy, however, is not the motive actu-
ating the Inter Ocean editor. He thinks the
building, which should be the ''stateliest
structure here, would be an object lesson
IN American patriotism, to the foreigners
who come here. He gets off whole lot of
rot and nonsense about people being gath
cred up in Europe and whisked here where
'they are shown some stately buildings, all
Mormon temples, theatres or the like. If
they have occasion to visit government
Office they find it an unpretentious room. A
systematic attempt is made to make them
suppose that the Mormon church, and not
the government of the United States, is the
great power of the land, and thousands of
them never get beyond that deception"
| Our foreign-borp as well as the native citi-
zens will smile at all this, and wonder if
there is anybody hereabouts as ignorant
regarding the people of Utah as the editor
of the Inter Ocean. However, if that paper
can help us to get a federal building equal
to the requirements of the government,
wewill not now quarrel with the methods
it employs.

CHAIRMAN MCKISLEY's committee re-
Tented and repented again on Wednesday
and restored hides TO the free list in the
new tariff bill. Sugar has also been placed
on the free list though provision is made
for bounty Of 2 cents pound for the
domestic product. The action of the COM
mittee conveys the impression that Nc
KIxLEY and colleagues were not bent on
doing what was right, but were trying to
take the course that would win the most
votes. First, hides were taxed; then they
were placed On the free list; next they
were made subject to duty of u cents
per pound, and now they are put back on
The free schedule. The committee changed
according to the numerical strength of the
protests that came in. The removal of the
duty from sugar means nothing to the
consumers and we apprehend that it will
mean nothing to the producers after two
or three years. People are willing to en-
courage the establishment of industries by
the payment of bounties, but they are not
willing to support industries in this way.
