The Fire Fiend InVadeS the Provo
Tithing Yards.

The following dispatch from Presi,
dent a. o. Smoo:, Of Provo, was re,

The flames broke out at $40 this
morning, and as the sheds are some
distance from any place where fire
Il kept, the blaze was evidently the
work Of an incendiary.
A large number Of people turned
out TO aid In subiuing the fire, but

could be done was to prevent the

Some suspicion of having COM

THE BRAINS AND MUSCLE
TRADE.

WE TAKE pleasure in giving
credit where it is due, even when We
are not overwhelmed with admira-
ton for the person entitled to 1t.
There, for instance, is Judge o. w.
Powers, a man given 70 much
speaking. Occasionally he strikes a
subject on which he possesses a
wealth Of information. Regarding
some special themes upon which he
touches he is as well posted as a
man could be. When on Monday
night, in addressing political meet
ing OF wOrkiugmen, he said, "Capi-
tai can buy brains and muscle;
even the sacrei blilot IS obtainable
with money" he touched n theme
on which, because Of his familiarity
with fActs bearing upon it, he WAS
doubtless at home.
The judges having been paid the
sum Of SIO,OlJ for manipulation Of
the municipal election of last Feb
ruary for the "Liberals'' has already
been mentioned in this connec-
ton, but besides his own part as
ISOLATED with payment for QUESTION
able political work, may he not be
in position 10 throw some light
upon the doings OF the Individual
referred to in the following brilliant
paragraph taken from the Butte
Miner?
"W. J. Allen one Of the best known
bar attendants in salt Lake, has iu,t
reached Butte ami viii accep: a posi-
lion At the Abbey with Slater & Hat
ton. Mr.. Allen will make a splendid
addition to the corps"
This is doubtless the same Allen
who acted as Leading film flam-
mer''-to Use a slang term-for the
"Liberal" party At the July school
election, and whose conduct in that
connection was referred to The grand
jury by Judge Zane.
This bartender, ex = foOtracer
with nsmerous aliases, hallOt-5ox
manipalaior, etc, could hardly be
regarded as ths kind Of fellow 10
perform straightforward fe4ts as n
"Libe-Sl' election judge, merely for
his health. We doubt il anybody
believes otherwise than that mis- case
illustrated the force Of Orlando w.
Powers remSrss 10 the elect that
capital eau buy s'brains and mus
cle," aud that "eyen the sacred
ballot was ob.ainab,e with money!
Now the amount which Judge Pow
ers received for theuse OF his expert
political brains Is n mater OF noto-
riety, but what Allen receivei-if
alythiuy-hI, ~: We; reached the
general public. The judge indicates
In his speech his familiarity with
the pIrcha-e business. II he Is in
formed on this particular point,
would he not BE kind enough to
crafty popular Curiosity?
Now that the address Of ". !.
Allen, with IN any aliases, = SHOWN,
the Liberal" political manipalators
will know where to finI him. 50
that the Use Of his ''5rains'' may be
obtained for some future campaign.
If there Is any idea Of buying his
services in that line, 1t may be well
TO make no effort to get him until
the after Of Judge ZIne's refer
ence Of his coniuct 10 the grand
jgry for investigation dies out to
some extent. Should the s.him-
TANNER" be wanted again the |

enough to enable II. 5. McCaIlum 4

State News items.

The twelve-year old boy of Oliver Sor-
rell of Ferrisburgh was drowned recently.
Mrs. Sorrell was so affected by the news
that she died on the same night.
Rev. Nelson Bishop Jones, who died at
North Prescott, Mass, recently, at the
age of eighty-three, was born in Wards
boro and had held a number of pastorates
in Vermont.
The body of man, supposed to be
Swede, was found floating in mill-pond
at Wallingford May 80. Two bullet-holes
in the head indicate that is was case
either of suicide or murder. The man
appeared to be about forty-five years of
age, and from receipt from the Swedish
Emigration Company it is inferred that
his name was Andrew Johansen.
A row between the medical students at
Burlington and University of Vermont
boys, week ago, was caused by the
throwing of some eggs at a crowd of
medical students by some one. The med
| ical students had cheered the Dartmouth
! College ball-team at the game in the af-
! ternoon. The affair assumed the pro-
portions of small riot, but policeman s
revolver stopped the row. A warrant
was sworn ont for arrest of one of the
medical students.

Western Mortgages.

Now, whatever may be claimed
for western mortgages, the time has
certainly come when we should apply
to this matter the home maxim which
teaches that we should not put too
many eggs in one basket. 1t is true
that these investments enable our
banks to declare larger dividends than
they otherwise could, but we should
not lose sight of the well-know prin-
ciple which should always govern saw
ings banks, that large dividends are
of secondary Importance as compar-
ed with absolute safety. Confidence
in our entire system of savings banks
is all important to the that our work
ingmen and middle classes, for whose
benefit they were more especially es-
tablished, may use them more and
more extensively. Disaster to any
one of them inficts an injury upon
all and is a shock to public confidence
which causes irreparable injury to the
general welfare of the State. EXper-
ience demonstrates clearly and con-
clusively that high rates of interest
are not the attractive feature of saw
ings banks in the eye of the depositor
but rather absolute freedom from any
misgivings or uneasiness with refer
ence to the safety of the principal.
The banks paying the largest divi-
dends are not those which show the
most healthy growth. But even if
the reverse were true, still the State
owes it to the general welfare of all
to see that such a policy is pursued
as shall prevent, as far as may be,
the possibility of disaster to any.
Let those who prefer high rates to
absolute safety withdraw their funds
from savings institutions. Trustees
should cheerfully welcome such with
drawals as being for the good of their
institutions. To try to attract depos-
its by high rates is subverting the
purpose for which savings banks
were established, and in my judgment
is little less than a crime. 1t is my
well settled conviction that the law
allowing investments in western mort
cages should be so amended as to
permit only 40 per cent of the entire
assets Of any savings bank or trust
company to be invested therein.
The above is an extract from Car
roll S. Pages report as Inspector Of
Finance TO the Legislature of 1886,
and it shows that Mr.. Page was able
to foresee at that time what all know
now, that there is danger in putting
ones money in some distant section,
where he knows nothing of the char
acter of the security and where real
estate is liable to become so nearly
worthless as to hazard all claim up-
on it. The extract furnished shows
that Mr.. Page is man conversant
with the business affairs and wants of
the State.

FOR THE MONITOR
For Gen. Grout.

The question now before the voters
of the Second Vermont District, in
regard to the denomination and re-
election of Gen. W. w. Grout to
Congress, calls for some facts in re-
gard to his ability and fitness for
that position. No man in Congress
from this District has done what he
has done for the elevation of the far
mer and the cause of the soldier.
Having been a soldier himself, he
knows their needs and his indie
fatigable efforts in their behalf calls
loudly on each and every one of them
irrespective of party, to give him
their undivided support in coming ell
ection for member of Congress. AS
a farmer, instead boarding up his
money as many do, or taking advan-
tage of the necessities of the labor
ing class of people, he has spent large
sums of money building and improv-
ing his large farm and setting good
example to the farmers of the State
to follow in showing to the world what
Vermont soil will produce under thor
ough cultivation. His character as
a man and citizen is above reproach.
His generosity is nubounded and his
record is clean and untarnished. He
has not lost any of his power or influ-
ence by his experience in business
and congressional law making but
has he not been growing in populari-
ty from year to year with the masses,
as his speeches and doings in Con-
gress abundantly testify? No man
can serve this District with more hon
or or credit than Gen. Grout. He
has done nothing to merit the disap
proval of his constituents, and the
honorable and just thing to do is to
give him our undivided support at
the coming election.

The Sugar Bounty.

The members of the Vermont dele
CATION have received definite assur-
ances from members of the senate
committee on finance that if the boun-
ty feature is retained in the tariff bill
as reported to the senate, maple su-
gar will be included. Senators Ed
munds and Morrill, are both heartily
in favor of the proposition, and their
influence has been felt strongly in the
matter. Gen. Grout, who has been
confined to his room for nearly
month, went to the Capitol last Mon
day for the first time since his illness
and took occasion to see each MEM
ber of the republican majority of the
committee. He found, after stating
the arguments of the Vermont sugar
raisers, that with single exception,
all would favor giving a bounty to
maple sugar, in any event, provided
of course the bounty feature is retain
ed at all. Senator Allison, it is
thought, is somewhat inclined to in
Guiding simply beet sugar, as an un-
developed industry, but if the COM
mittee concludes to give bounty to
cane sugar, he would favor putting
maple sugar on the same footing. If
the proposition goes through the SEN
ate committee there is no question
that it will be incorporated in the bill
on its final passage, as there is no op-
position to it on the part of the house
committee, the clause having been
omitted inadvertently in the hurry of
change the night before the bill went
into type.-JOurndI

The people of the State have an
interest in such matters, and until
something can be said against an Off
Ger, we see no cause for the election
of another man. Some are desirous
of getting the job of handling the
finances of the State, land others, we
doubt not, will be willing to get the
State Auditors berth if the new deal
is popular. In our judgment it would
be difficult thing to find better Off
GERS than the present incum bents.
Let we'll enough alone.

The display of confederate flags
at the recent dedication of the Gen.
Lee monument at Richmond, the ap-
plauding by $4,000 confederate vet
Grams of the statement, made by the
orator of the occasion, that Gen. Lee
is the only man produced by this
country worthy of an equal place
with Washington, looks a little too
much like glorying treason. AS Gen.
Sickles said the day after, there is
room in this country for only one
flag, and while it may be perfectly
proper for them to honor and praise
the valor of their dead, vet there
ought not to be mingled with it any
attempt to honor or uphold the cause
for which they fought. If reports
are true there was considerable of the
latter at the Richmond celebration.
While Lee was a brave man and a
good general the country ought not
to forget that he resigned his COM
mission in the q. S. Army and drew
his sword to destroy the government
he had sworn to defend.

A New Deal.

Some of the newspapers of the
State are talking about 'ta new deal"
We see no advantage in a new deal
unless it is to obtain better hand. in
card parlance. If it is proposed to
change an office of Importance and
responsibility, it should be done only
when the incumbent is inefficient or
dishonest. Offices are not merit cards
exactly, which every fellow who as
pres to places or position of profit
should expect to get by the asking.
