WELCOME.

1t is cordial welcome which Salt Lake
extends to her guests, the Presbyterian
gentlemen and ladies who will be with us
couple of days; and THE HERALD be-
IleVes it voices the sentiment of the entire
community when it says this welcome goes
out from all our people, there being none
who are not pleased by the visit and none
who are not eager that our guests will
enjoy themselves and go away with correct
and therefore pleasant Impressions of the
city and its inhabitants. Salt Lake is not
at its best, 80 far as appearances CO. and
the weather is not altogether delightful;
our visitors will understand these things,
and If the season intsrteres with their
physical pleasure will not hold the people
responsible.
Some OF the strangers have been here be-
fore, and all are more or less familiar with
Salt Lake. No doubt many of them enter
tain peculiar, perhaps extravaganza, ideas
concerning the city and its inhabitants. II
they do it will not be unnatural, for some
what strange conceptions concerning Salt
Lake and her people are widely held. Cor
rect ideas can be best obtained by coming
among US, hence the pleasure it gives
when intelligent strangers visit the city.
see the people, and take some account of
what is going on here. 1t is not the rule
for visitors to carry away with them the
false Impressions with which they come

been pictured. Utah is not half SO black
as it has been painted. This is an Ameri-
can community in all it's essential features
and characteristics. Our people are
American in their aims, efforts and
| ambitions. The love of country
is as intense here as in any part OF the
great republic. The fires of patriotism
burn as brightly in the valleys of Utah as
elsewhere in the Union. There is no more
crime here in proportion to population than
In any American state. Our people are as
well educated, as refined, as highly civilized
as those of the foremost communities. The
laws are obeyed as strictly as anywhere,
east or west and life and property are
more carefully protected than in most
places. In short, Utah is rather proud of
herself, when compared with other COM
monwealths, and because she is proud she
likes to have people of intelligence visit
her, that she can show what has been
done and what is being done to build up q
great American state in the Wilderness of a
few years ago.
Our Presby terian friends are made well
come. The city is at their service, and al
our people stand ready to do anything and
everything which will make their too Driei
sojourn period Of enjoyment.

GEORGE w. CHILDS.

One of Americas best known and best
cltizens will be with US On Monday. 1t is
TO the credit Of the American character
that 1t recognizes real merit and true
worth in some of it's men, as in GEORGE
w. CHILDs, the distinguished gentleman
who comes to Salt Lake tomorrow. Mr.
CHILDs is not an office-holder; he is not a
pontlclan; he cannot even be called par
tlsan as the term is understood. His title
Is simply that of a citizen, yet he has a
warmer corner in the affections Of the peo-
pie, Is better known and better loved than
the so-called great ones. The place which
ne occupies has been won by life devoted
TO good deeds, the fame he has achieved
has come from the wise direction of q
philanthropic heart. He is loved less be-
cause he gives than because he gives wisely
and well. His p hilanthropy does not mean
merely bounteous giving. That might
not be philanthropy. 1t might be vain dis
play. 1t might even be selfshness. In
Mr., CHILDs' case the best meaning of the
word is preserved.
However, it was not the intention of
THE HERALD to detail the noble deeds or
sound the praises of this good man, nor is
it necessary, for modest and retiring as he
is, Mr.. CHILDs is as well known in Salt
Lake, and as greatly admired as elsewhere.
The mere announcement that he is coming
is sufficient to inspire in all the wish that
his visit will be full of interest and pleas
ure to him. The Typographical union has
in hand the matter Of his reception and
entertainment.

FROM Now on to the Dist of June there
viii be numerous fairy tales afloat regard
ing Mr.. CLEVELAND and his attitude to-
wards the Democratic nomination for
President. But the most of them will be
in circulation between this time and the
end Of the month, when the New York
"anti-snap' convention is to be held Mr..
c. will be represented as preparing, or
having prepared, q letter declining the fur

BELL, or PALMER, or BoIEs, or CARLISLE.
or some other good Democrat; as having
made up his mind that it would be too
much Of hardship to undertake again the
duties of the Executive chair, etc. 1t
would be well for readers, in view of these
probable statements, to remember in the
first place that MIR. CLEVELAND never has
been and is not now candidate, and that
al he has ever intimated on the subject
has been that he could not refuse to obey
a call upon him made by the body of his
party. This position he will certainly
maintain to the end, for that will be in
accordance with his character and record,
and anything else would not be.

reimbursement Of the people, at least in such
delay OF doing justice 20 our territory that it is
doubtful If the present generation would live to
see 1t done. But all this is nothing to be COM

Ii is too commonly believed that in politics

OREGON'S GOVERNOR.

Occasionally even Democrats make mis-
takes. The very best and most cautious of
men cannot be wise and far-seeing at all
times. This is strikingly illustrated by the
fact that two years ago the Democrats
elected one SYLVESTER PENNoYER governor
OF Oregon. The mistake was not in work
ing for the candidate and voting the ticket
but in thinking PENNoYER was a Demo-
crat Every little while since his Inaugural
ton he has said and done strange things for
Democrat, and the other day, after the
adjournment of the state ntion, he
lunged clear outside of the traces, not only
denounciDg the Democracy but declaring
that he will vote the Peoples ticket this
year. He also urges others to follow him in
this. The immediate occasion OF PENNoYER's
disgruntlement is the circumstance that
the state convention refused to put in the
platform a demand for the 'frse and IN
limited coinage of silver" They did de-
clare for honest money! without specify
ing the metals from which il is to be made,
but that was not satisfactory to PENNoYER,
who has since been publicly proclaiming
that hereafter he is a Peoples party man.
The only regretable thing about this is
that Oregon's governors are elected for
four years, and PESNoYER will therefore
hold the Office until January l, 1895. A
good, straight out Republican would be
infinitely preferable to Democrats.

PEcK's BAD Boy AND HIS Pa. BY Geo. W.
Peck. With 100 illustrations by True Will
Jams. Chicago: Morrill,, Higgins s Co.
If everybody hasn't read all of 'sPeck's
Bad Boy" sketches. every body has read
some of them. They have been printed and
reprinted, and hcve furnished fun for the
reading public for the past dozen years.
Now they come in the "Idylwild Series"
in profusely Illustrated volume of nearly
four hundred pages, the price being so
cents.
CHARLES SUMNER. By Anna Laurens Dawes.
New York: Dodd, Mead s. Co.; salt Lake:
Q. ID. Parsons. Price 81.
The publishers named are issuing an in
teresting series under the title, makers of
America" and this volume is among the
latest out. There are good many people
who will think that MIR. Sumner should
have been left out of the series, but
there are folks who are unreasonably
partisan as he was, and if they are not as
strong in their hates are nevertheless in
fiuenced by them. Miss Dawes knew Sum
ner and admired him; she was familiar
with some of the characteristics which at
times made him appear narrow aud petty
when he should have been great all the
time, for she says: "The lack of sympa-
thy, prominent characteristic, effectually
prevented Charles Sumner from entering
into the feelings of a person whom he did
not like or understand. More
over, MS other characteristic of regarding
all subjects and all people as they concerned
him grew as life went on.u Nevertheless,
1t Is manifest that the author is conscien-
tious and has endeavored to write of the
man and his work faithfully. K is too
early TO say what place Mr.. Sumner will
occupy in history, hence what may be
/ nf iu hi lrr or,
far as it states facts and records incidents
occurring III his life from which the histo-
rian may draw conclusions.
A HIGHLAND CHRONICLE. By l.. Bayard bod,
authorof "Stubble or Wheat New York
| Dodd, Mead s. Co. Salt Lake: @. H. Par
sons. Price, 80 cents.
This is one of the most entertaining and
vigorous stories lately published. 1t deals
with period and an event which are re-
garded as in sense romantic. The tale
is laid in the days of the Stuart effort TO
regain the English crown, and the princi-
pal characters are those sturdy, loyal, jeal-
Gus, superstitious Scotch people whom the
world always admire. There is a charm
ing love story running through the book,
the hero a Scotch laird who overcomes
1nnumerable obstacles to win q wife only
to become entengled in the intrigues of the
! Inflated Stuarts. Tho familiarity of the
author with the history of the times has
enabled him to write an instructive as well
as an entertaining book, whilst his &C.
quaintance with the Scotch, their pecuI-
iarities and their quaint dialect is delight
| fully manifest.
ALL FOR JACK. BY Jules Claretie. Chicago
| and New York; Rand, EcNally s. Co. Price,
50 cents.
This is one of those morbid stories in
which so many French writers indulge.
The author relies upon the morbidness to
hold the attention of the reader. The only
moral there is conveyed is in the love and
self-sacritice on the part of a poor and ig-
| nOrant father for his son.

WORK FOR SILVER MEN.

The friends of silver must not be lulled
into inactivity by the approaching inter
national bimetallic conference. That con-
ference may result in much good. It may
lead to the early rehabilitation of silver.
though there is little confidence In this.
But whatever may be the outcome of the
discussions and deliberations, the real
work for silver in this country must be
performed right here among the peoDe
with the political parties. The voters must
be educated, not to bolt their political or
ganigaticns and indulge in vain efforts to
build up new party standing on silver
alone, but to nominate and elect to Con-
gress Democrats and Republicans who
will do their bidding regardless of the in
fiuence OF the money power-men who will
restore silver to its rightful place In our
monetary system. Every body should re-
ioice over the fact that there is to be an
international conference, but no matter
what that gathering may recommend, free
coinage of silver in this country can onlv
come through the consent of the American
Congress thence the necessity of the friends
of silver continuing their work of eduoa-
ton. TIE HERALD has said and sincerely
believes that if it were not for the an
preaching Presidential election the present
Congress would pass a free coinage bill
and do SO by majority which would cause
the President to hesitate about vetoing i,
We also believe that if proper campaign
be made, enough free coinage men will be
returned to Congress next fall to make the
passage of free coinage bill certain. the
presidential succession being determined.

the policy or management of the Century
company by reason of the death of its late

the business direction during the three
years of his illness. MIR. Frank H. Scott,
who has been connected with the company

Ayers
Hair VigOr

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. 1 am ready to certify to this
statement before justice of the peace
H. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
".Some years ago, after severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair l then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy L applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in few weeks. 1 think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. l believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"
