A Good Lesson Learned.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
Colonel Ludlow, who was chief of
the water department Of large city,
one day received a call from a
wealthy manufacturer, whose estab~
lishment had many favors to ask of
the department. Before this man
made his request, he handed the
Colonel a $50 bill, which the Colonel
laid upon the desk before him, with
out saying word. When his Wis
itor rose to go, however, he inquired :
"Now, my dear sir, what is this
for?!" holding up the bill.
go, that's to buy cigars for the
boys!"
eyes; then | suppose you are fond
of the weed?"
The manufacturer acknowledged
that he did like a good cigar.
"Then allow me-" said the chief,
in his most genial manner, "to insist
upon your trying one Of these"
He took two cigars from a box,
lighted his own with the fifty dollar
bill, and passed the burning paper tC
his amazed visitor. The man said
nothing, but he never made a second
attempt to bride Colonel Ludlow.

Look att This Way.
S. S. Times.

S. S. Times.
No one of us can stand or fall all
by himself. If we do well, others are
stimulated and helped by our well
doing. If we do poorly, Others are
disheartened and harmed by our i'll
doing. We have not even the privi-
lege of making wreck of ourselves
without wrecking those who are
linked with us in the train that speeds
along our track of duty. Nor is it
possible for us to remain firmly on
that track without giving steadiness
to other portions Of the train. If we
were willing to take the consequences
of life failure, so far as we are con-
cerned, we ought to hold back from
ruin for the sake of those whom our
fall would damage or destroy. If,
however, we will do our best, we are
sure to be of greater advantage there
by to others than we are to ourselves.
What an incentive this should be to
us in the line of well doing.

Pay for the Pitchers.

DR.. Adam Clarke while preaching
to large congregations in Ireland, pic
tured in glowing terms the freeness Of
the gospel, dwelling on the point that
the water of life could be had "With-
out money and without price" At
the conclusion of the sermon a cOllec-
ton was taken up to send the gospel
to the heather, This collection EN-.
barrassed the preacher a little, as it
seemed to contradict the theme of his
sermon. As he was telling the story
to a Christian lady afterwards she re-
piled: Very true, Doctor, the water
of life is free-withOut money and
without price-but we must pay for
the pitchers to carry itin."
That discriminating remark dispels
the fog that seems to hang over the
minds of some who cannot see that
the freeness Of water is one thing, and
the employment of a person to carry
1t, is quite another thing. The gospel
is free gift, without money and
without price, but those who bring
the glad tidings to others must be
supported so that they can carry on
their good work.

you may not know the difference

MISTAKEN ITALIANS,

Are not the Italians all over the country
who are denouncing the people of New
Orleans and demanding preparation" at
the hands of the American government
doing themselves an injustice and putting
stain upon their own characters? Their
Incorporate utterances and their ill-con-
sldered resolutions, it seems to US, are re-
Elections upon the Italians The people of
New Orleans, going back to first principles
and resolving themselves into an irresisti-
bic power, shot down and hanged a lot of
men, not because they were Italians, but
because they were members of a band of
assassins who believed it right to murder
other men who were offensive 70 them. If
the popular uprising had been against Ital-
ians the mob would not have stopped with
the execution of the handful of criminals
found in prison, but would have
slain hundreds and thousands of the
sons of sunny Italy. Those same outraged
indignant and partly disheartened citizens
would have proceeded against Englishmen.
Frenchmen or even Americans Just as
readily and with the same determination
had the laws failed to punish Englishmen,
Frenchmen or Americans, and the provo
cation been as great as il was in this in
stance.
When Italians are assailed and murdered
wholly on account of their nationality, then
their countrymen will have the right to
protest and their demand for reparation
will be a meritorious one, enforced by the
claims Of justice and humanity. So far as
the executions in the New Orleans prison
are concerned, the Americans have quite as
good right to protest and adopt denun-
ciatory resolutions as have the Italians.
We cannot but think that the Italians of
New York, Chicago and other cities who
are INDUCING in these mass meetings and
incendiary speeches are acting as if they
were in sympathy with the criminals and
crimes of their countrymen. The good
Italians cannot afford to occupy this DO
sition; they cannot afford to assume this
attitude, and thus deprive themselves of
the respect which the public entertains for
good and law abiding people without re-
gard to nationality.

THE SCHOOL BONDS

The board Of education of this city has
asked the people to authorize the board to
borrow $500, 900, half of which is to be paid
back in ten years and the other half in
twenty years.
At first sight this looks like large sum
to borrow, and is likely to brighten some of
the voters. 1t should not do So however.
as the nature of the loan will not necessitate
aheavy tax.
The report of the board shows that the
tax necessary to pay this money back THAT
is, to set aside enough money for that pur-
pose in what is termed the sinking fund.-
and also to pay the interest on the borrowed
money, will amount to only half a mill on
the dollar OH the present valuation of taxa
BILE property in Salt Lake city.
This is very light tax. The city,
county and territorial taxes combined now
amount to twelve mills. The proposed
school tax will be barely appreciable.
We have no doubt that the voters will re-
spond with good vote to authorize the
board to issue the bonds. The tax for
school purposes is one of the least ebjec-
tionable of all the taxes that have to be
paid. 1t is, for the people who pay it, a
really good investment. For those that
have children, it is simply paying for their
education in other ways than by paying
tuition. For the state or nation, no one
questions the benefit of thorough system
of public schools. For those that have
property but no children, it is not unjust
that the property which the citizen must
defend, with his life, if necessary, in time
of war, ehould bear some of the burden OF
providing the future citizen with an equip
ment for the ordinary battle of life.
Apart from the question of authority in
regard to the conducting of this election,
there can be no sound objection to the
issuance Of the bonds. The voters should
empower the school board to erect the
necessary school buildings in this city by

American citizens and are themselves at
heart Americans, the Americanism which
they have imbibed being in the air which
they breathe. If the United States were
on the other side of the globe, and this
were monarchy, the people of Newfound-
land would be content with their lot and
in forming part of the great British en-
pire would be proud of the distinction.
But they are disconnected and unhappy
and the wires inform US that their discon-
tent is about to express itself in the form
OF an appeal to the United States for ad
mission to the union as a member of the
slsterhood OF states. Delegates are going
to England to inform the mother govern
ment that by its neglect and Ill treatment
1t has forfeited all claims to further ale
glance, whereupon the local legislature
will adopt the resolution appealing
to the republic. Doubtless our re-
publican friends in the little colony
think this would settle the matter,
the United States receiving them with open
arms; but they are mistaken, as they would
learn when this republic returned for an
swer the remark above quoted. If all the
British colonies had the right to dispose of
themselves in this way, we imagine that
only for short time during the twenty
Tour hours would the sun shine on British
possessions. England would have not
merely something, but all to say in the
matter, and would make very interesting
hight before she would let go of her colony.
VI course, if the United States were so dis
posed they could receive and defend New
foundland, Nova Scotia and Canada itself,
in spite of Great Britain, but this country
is not acquiring territory from the mother
government by conquest, nor are we apt to
involve ourselves in war because some
English colonists want to transfer their al
legiance. We fear that if the Newfound-
land people cannot coax the British to re-
lease them, they will have to remain sub
lects of the crown, instead of free and in
dependent community; and we also fear
that the coaxing efforts will be in vain, as
the English give up nothing in the way of
territory.

NEWFOUNDLAND.

1t is apprehended that the United States
will have to say to the good people of New
foundland as the President of the republic
once said to another people-"Your cause
is just, but can do nothing for you.n The
trouble with the Newfoundlander is not
that they are misgoverned, nor that they
are oppressed by the empire; they have their
own legislature, make their own laws,
chose their own officials, levy their own
taxes and spend their own money as they
please; IN Short merely acknowledging al
legiance to the mother country. They are
discontented and unhappy, however, and all
because they live so near to the United
States. They are republicans in spite of
themselves. They don't like the monarchy,
though only in the name does it affect them.

who know no king and acknowledge al
