". H. Smith, son OF the news agent
and founder OF the railway news depotS
and book-stalls, was born in London IN
1925, and entered business in his fathers
firm. In 1865 he contested Westminster
unsuccessiully, but in 1868 he was re-
turned. defeating John Stuart Mill.
In 1874. and again, on accepting office in
1885 he was returned at the head OF the
poll. After holding sundry minor offices
Mr.. Smith entered the Cabinet in 1877.
The question OF his successor as Con-
servative leader in the Commons de-
ponds on the composition OF the new
Cabinet. If the Tories, pure and simple,
have their way, probably Balfour will be
invited to take the leadership; but il
the Liberal Unionists have 10 DE reck-
oned with, Mr.. Goschen, TO whom 1t is
said the post has been for some time
promised by Lord Salisbury, will be the
man.
Mr.. Smith was highly esteemed by all
who knew him, and he was especially
popular in the House Of Commons where
his sterling character and invincible
coed temper were appreciated by all
parties alike.
Mr.. Charles Stewart Parnell, the cele-
brated Irish party leader, died st his
residence in Brighton after q few days
illness. Congestion Of the lungs and
rheumatism brought on or aggravated
by his recklessness in speaking and
travelling against the warning OF his
physicians are given as the causes OF the
sudden collapse OF his strength. Mr..
Parnell last appeared in public at
meeting in Ireland on September 9th,
when il was noticed that he was very
pale, and in many respects not like his
former self, ne carried his left arm in
sling rom rheumatism.
The effects OF Parnel's death remain
to be developed. Mr.. J.. O'helly,
Parnell's nearest friend, says II will
leave great gap in political life, but
viii, think, result in the unihcation Of
the party" Justin Mccarthy, the leader
Of the Anti-Parnellite wing Of the Irish
party, saws It Is impossible 10 forecast
the effect, but hopes that it would lead
to z complete reunion OF all shades OF
opinion. Michael Davitt says Parnells
ieath Will put an end oIrish dissension.
2arnell was Just 10 years Of age.
On the same date as his recent antag- |
mist, died Sir John Pope Henessey, who |
% lately defeated the Parnellite candi-
late Vincent Scully at North Kilkenny.
,ir John had seen 4 considerable amount
I service, both in Parliament and under

Yesterdays Elections.

Dispatches indicate that Governor Rus
sell has been reelected in Massachusetts by
a small plurality, possibly not far from
5000.
New York city and Kings county give
Flower en- aggregate majority of about
65,OOO against 69,5O0 for Cleveland in 1888.
Harrison came down to Harlem with plu-
rality of $1,000 in 1888, and Miller with
$4,000. Fassett is said to be falling behind
in the upstate towns even the vote for
Miller, and democrats claim the election of
Flower by from 10000 to 1900 plurality,
but the lower southern counties are heavily
republican and are yet to be heard from.
The New York Tribune claims the election
of Mckinley in Ohio by 10000 plurality.
In Iowa, polls are kept open till nine in
the evening. Returns are therefore late.

A SENSIBLE JUDGMENT.

TIMOTHY HOPKINS and about a dozen
others contested the will of Mrs. HOPKINS
SEARLEs, the widow of MARX HOPKINS,
who afterwards married SEARLEs, a
wealthy house decorator Mrs. HOPKINS
SEARLEs was worth In her own name about
thirty million dollars, which she left to her
husband entire, giving nothing to her
adopted son, TIMOTHY HOPKINS, for the
reason, as she expressly stated in her will,
that she had literally provided for him
during her life time. Nevertheless the
young man instituted law suit contesting
the will upon the ground that the lady had
been unduly influenced against him.
The protracted case came to a temper
airy close yesterday when the surrogate
Judge of Salem, Mass, before whom the
contest was waged, sustained the will.
1t seems to US that this decision is emf
nently sensible whatever else 1t may be in
legal way. Mrs. HOPKINS SEARLEs had q
right to do with Der property as she
pleased, and If she wished to discriminate
AGAINST her adopted son. even though in

THE PRICES

The contention of the protectlonists is
that the tariff does not raise the prices.
Now and then some paper will find tariff
taxed article in store which sells for no
more than it did a year ago, or before the
increased duty was imposed. When this
occurs, the editor flaunts the fact in the face
Of his innocent and unprotected readers,
and tears about as if he had discovered
something which would completely para
lyze everybody who ever suggested that
the consumer had to suffer by reason of
the customs duty.
OF course the claim is ridiculous. 1t is
so ludicrous that one is astonished that
even fanatic protectionist should present
it. If the tariff does not increase the cost
of the article by just the amount of the
duty, then why, in the name of
common sense, is the tax imposedl If any
article Oh the schedule can be imported
and sold as chesply as it would be il there
were no duty, then who Is "protected' by
the tariff What "infant industry" is
stimulated by the customs duty 2 If the
tariff does not increase the prices why not
make the tax tea or hundred times what
it is The people will not care about the
tariff so long as they are not compelled to
pay more for what they buy.
Governor RUSSELL, of Massachusetts,
in speech in Boston the other night,
refuted this nonsensical but persistently-
repeated assertion that prices are
not increased by the tariff. He made
practical demonstration which all
could understand by exhibiting a list
of articles in one line, prepared at his
request by competent expert in one of the
leading dry goods houses of Boston where
sales amount to millions of dollars year.
1t was prepared under the direction of the
heads of departments and the supervision
of the head of the house. The list repre-
sented twenty-four departments in that
house, each exhibiting distinct line OF
goods. Twenty-Five Of them, embracing
liz kinds of goods, and goods in everyday
use by our people, showed an advance in
price on all these goods on an average OF
nearly 20 per cent. over the prices of Sep
TENDER, 1890. On the other two lines the
cost of the goods has advanced, but the
counter prices for the present remain the
same. And on all these goods the McKIN-
LEY bill has raised the tariff duty These
goods, without now giving them in detail
are the miscellaneous goods found in every
| dry goods house.
Investigation by anyone wilt show tina
as rule where the MCKINLEY bill raised
duties it also raised prices. That would b,
the natural and necessary effect.

the great scandals and crimes which drag
men down from stations of honor and trust
to the sloughs of shame and disgrace
Woman is the priestess of humanity, ap-
pointed by Con to guard the sacred flame
of love and keep it pure. II she permits
false incense to be thrown by ruthless
hand upon that altar and corrupt the
flame, it is right, we say, that she should
be blasted for the sins of those led astray
by that false light. Not out of a feeling of
vindictiveness for her wrong -doing-that
is cause for sorrow rather than for anger
but more as warning to the rest of the
priestesses who stand watch and ward
over the same altar on which burns the
sacred flame; that they may guard it with
more care
1t is not that we would blame woman
less that we call attention to this the GUS
tom of society which throws upon the
weaker sex the greater responsibility for
this sin. We would not blame woman less,
but man more. For if Con has appointed
woman a priestess to guard the altar of
love, He has constituted man the
guardian Of woman, the guardian of
priestess, temple, altar and all that is upon
it, and thrice Is he to be cursed if he finds
1t in his heart to desecrate shrine so holy,
an altar SO pure, lame so sacred by out
raging the priestess, and the time will come
if not before, then at least when men
confront Him who shall Judge, not after
the sight of the eye nor after the hearing
OF the ear, but who shall Judge In right
eousuess and truth-when men will learn
that the pity Of society has not absolved
them from their part In the deep crime
which corrupted the issues of life, blasted
the purity Of home life, perhaps, and rem
dered impure and uncesn in the eyes of
men priestess of sacred temple.
Meantime may COP help men in their
careers TO keep their holy beacons always
bright, and may the day come when that
evil which VICTOR has written down "a
lesson never learned,'' will at last be
learned. And when it is, be assured that
men will hail it the grandest victory
achieved by man, for with MOORE we may
say:
Let conquerers boast their fields OF fame;
He who in winter arms
young, warm spirit against beauty's charms
Who feels her brightness, yet defies her thrall-
Is the best, brayest conQuerer of them all.

The DEMOCRATS of Provo, ever alert and
TO the front, are getting themselves into
shape for the municipal battle in February.
On Friday night they held an enthusiastic
meeting, elected a municipal convention
and started the machinery in motion. Of
course the party will win in the coming
contest, for Provo Is Democratic, and good
men are at the head of the organization.
In this connection it might be remarked
that the principal decision in Friday nights
meeting was in regard to the po-
sition the party would assume on the
liquor question, and knowing something Of
the sentiment of the people in Provo,
we take it that this question will
figure more or less prominently in
the campaign. No action was taken,
the matter being referred to the municipal
committee with the understanding that the
convention soon to be called will deal with
it. While i. is undoubtedly the case that
the great majority of the people of Provo,
like the majority of the people generally in
this territory, would like to see prohibition
prevail, the experience Of our southern
neighbor in It's past attempts to prevent
the traffic in liquor has probably taught
the Democrats there the uselessness of IN
dertaking impossibilities, or declaring for
something which they know cannot be at
tanned. The HERALD congratulates the
Provo Democracy upon the early and ener-
getic start which it has made, and next
February expects to further congratulate
it on getting control Of the city.

DONNELLY,

1GNATIUs DoN NELLY, the demagogue in
all languages, is getting about the showing
up that he deserves. Several years ago
one Colonel KING, Of Minneapolis, wrote a
letter to the blathsrskite charging him (the
b. with attempted bribery; the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press published the letter and Don
NELLY sued the paper for libel, the trial
now going on. On the stand KING admit
ted the authorship of the letter and went
so far as to give the details of the attempt
ed bribery. Other witnesses have also
sworn to DoNNELLY's crookedness, General
LIE Due testifying that Dakota railroad
paid the fellow 81, 500 for services while a
member of Congress. DoNNELLY is the
chap who wouldn't even let our friend
Mr.. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE have credit
for writing tragedies which have turned the
heads of so many respectable men and wo-
men and fooled the latter into the belief
that they could act. Not only did Don
NELLY assail WILLIAM, but he inflicted
upon the public a book on the subject
which we defy any man to read under
standingly. THE HERALD is yet q com
paratively young newspaper, having at
tanned its majority only the present year,
and yet long after this journal came into
life DoNNELLY appeared upon the scene,
and to our knowledge has since been Re-
publican, Democrat, prohibitioniss and
member of the Farmers Alliance, and
now he is coquetting with the recently
organized Peoples party for the president
ial nomination next year. There are not
many people who will sympathize with
him now that he is being pilloried by a
newspaper.

TIE FAITH of the Irish peasant in En-
gland seems to have materially increased,
and he has gone with his savings to the
post Office. The result is that in those
banks the deposits are now higher than
they have ever been. They have grown
from sl3, 600, 900 in 1886 to sl6,000,000. The
increase since last year is s., 5OO,O 900, or So
per cent. The Irish are not so disaffected
with British rule as some of our papers
would lead US to think, for they realize,
after all, the truth of one of our best
American writers on Irish legislation on
the land question: "This seems to US a
most generous proposition on the part of
the state, and one which would pacify
Irish feeling. We know Of no other gov
eminent in the world that would deal so
generously with its inhabitants. 1t really
seems to US that the Irish heart should turn
with more loyalty toward the English
throne.n

TwENrr.rwo thousand

TWENTY-FIVE thousand Photographic
plates, each covering two degrees of the
sky, are being prepared for use in different
parts of the world, that the heavens may
be accurately mapped. 1t is far easier
thing to obtain an accurate map of the
heavens than of the earth, and in the
course o. six years the complete map of the
heavens will be in hand. The photographic
plate will catch and fix all stars up to the
fourteenth magnitude. The image of
star of the first magnitude is fixed upon
the plate in five one thousaudth part of a

nitude requires thirteen minutes of time to
fix itself. When the map is completed it
will present arecord Of about forty millions
of stars.

SOME YEARS ago a poor French woman
residing in Buenos Ayres, being exceed
ingly perplexed with regard to the ways
aud MEANS" set her inventive genius to
work and hit upon the following expedient:
Observing vast amount of bones and
animal offal thrown away from the slaugh-
ter houses with which Buenos Ayres
abounds, thought struck her that she
might turn this waste to profitable account
Having procured large iron pot and COL
lected a quantity of bones, etc., she COM
menced operations by boiling them and
skimming the fat off, which she then sold
to the stores. Finding the proceeds of her
industry amply rewarded her labor she
persevered advancing from a pot to a
boiler and from boiler to steaming vat
until she possessed a magnificent apparatus
capable of reducing hundred head of
cattle to tallow at one steaming. In course
Of time she sold her factory and retired
from business with large fortune, rolling
through the streets in one of the most
sumptuous carriages in Buenos Ayres
There is now scarcely a respectable mer-
chant in that place or in Montevideo who
is not in some way connected with cattle
steaming.

iuenced to that end, she should have had
the privilege to do so. 1t is, however, alto
gether unlikely that woman capable Of
will to undue persuasion.
1t has come to such a pass in this coun-
try that wealthy person cannot make
will, no matter how carefully drawn, with
out fear that after death it will be assaulted
in some way. The estates of Commodore
VANDERBILT, A. T. STEWART and scores Of
others, have experienced this fact,
and moro recently the DAVIS will
case in Butte has furnished an
Even so learned and astute man as SAM
UEL j. TILDEN could not make will without
getting it into court, and Notwithstanding
that in his lifetime he had frequently ex-
pressed his purpose to leave his means for
the noble object to which he finally do
mated it.
A great many contests are Instituted
with no expectation of winning therein but
in the hope that some compromise might be
effected by which the contestants would
benefit, and there are always lawyers
enough who are willing to take such case
for contingency fee.
So long as wealthy people cannot be
persuaded TO dispose of their property dur
ing their life time and thus prevent any
possible litigation, it is well, at least, to
hear occasionally of a common sense deoi-
sion which defeats the contestant. If there
were more such examinations the unseemly
fights for the possession of deceased rela-
tives' property would be less numerous.

AT THIS distance we make bold to say
that the Indignation of the female citizens
OF HiaWatha, Kansas, who assailed the
bill boards with rakes, hoes and pitchforks
the other day, and defaced the lithograhlc
representations of troupe of leg artists,
was inspired largely by jealousy. If the
HIawatha women had known the truth
that those shapely limbs and the generous
development generally were largely due to
the artistic use of saw dust and cotton
waste, there would have been turning up
OF noses at the pictures and that is all.
