Po,iteness is Kindness Expressed.

Never be economical with politeness-
1t pays to be courteous, especially TO
children and servants, who catch your
tone and manner, and reveal you to
your friends in a way that you hardly
dream of as possible. The manner of
good society does not denote or imply
insincerity, nor need the sincere person
be brusque or boorisf. Tact is gift
worth striving for, if it has been denied
to that unsatisfactory being, the
natural man." Indeed, the natural
man or woman is not always the most
agreeable Of associates 1t is the discS
plined, cultivated man or woman whom
we enjoy meeting and are generally
the better for living with.-Christian

Considerable attention OF the farmers OF the
whole country is invited 10 the work done
through the state aid agricultural departments
in the interest OF agriculture. Our pork prod
ucts have been for ten years not only eX
cluded by the great continental nations of
Europe but their virtue discredited by the
reason given for this exclusion All previous
efforts to secure the removal Of these resiric-
tions has failed, but the wise legislation Of the
Fifty first congress, providing for the inspec-
ton of our meats and giving 10 the president
power to forbid the introduction into this coun-
try Of selected products OF such countries as
should continue to refuse our inspected meats
enabled US to open N. the markets OF Europe
to our products The result has been not only
TO sustain prices b. providing new markets for
our surplus put TO add fifty cents per l0I
pounds TO the market value OF the Inspected
meats.
Under the reciprocity agreements, special
favors have been secured for agricultural prod
uets, and our exports OF such products have
been greatly increased with sure prospect OF
further and rapid increase The agricultural
department has obtained an agent IN Europe
whose special duty IL is TO introduce there the

American and European Clothes.

1t Is OF no use 10 agree with writer who
contends that the difference between s45.
the price charged for making a suit of
clothes which can be made for sl2 in Eng
land, is due entirely to the difference in
wages and not at all to the high tariff.
Such disputant would say anything to
keep up the contention. no matter how
palpably false or fagrantly absurd.
The idea that a tailor's wages, or the
wages of any workman in this country.
compared with his wages in England are
as the difference between s45 and Sl2 is
something ludicrous. Ask any tailor in
this city-where the disparity is as great II
not greater than in any part of the country
as compared with English wages-how
much more he gets for his work than
Liverpool or London prices. and let his
answer settle the question. Suppose he
gets double the old country prices, will
that make up anything approaching the
difference between Sl2 and $45l
In the ''slop' trade the difference be-
tween English and American wages is but
slight. The sweating" system is prac
ticed as much in this country as any other.
The poor women who work at the machine

The Leai On sion.

If the tariff on lead is such great pro
lection to the mining interest, why is it
that the price Of lead keeps on the decline?
According to the theory of the high tariff
ties, the lead market should be brisk and its
price il the United States ought to be
higher than before the McKINLEY law
went into operation The imposition of $50
ton duty on the foreign article ought to
enhance the value of the home product, or
the theory of the MoKINLEYITEs is faulty.
But it seems that this raw material" IS
weaker in the market today than before the
duty was collected on the ores from Mexico,
about which so much of pother has been
raised.
We are told by men posted on this mat
ter. that the effect of placing the duty on
Mexican ores has been to prompt capital
ists interested in Mexican mines to put up
smelters and reduction works in that cOun-
try, SO that instead of the ores needed for
smelling being sent into this country as be-
fore, the lead is produced and shipped by
water to New York, where its influx is af-
fecting the market for home material. And
great deal of American money is being in
vested in Mexico.
Both lead and WOOL under the high tariff
heresy. ought TO be higher than ever in the
markets OF the Uuited States today. The
fact is the price has steadily gone down.
And this shows, if it shows anything rela-
tive to the matter, that the high tariff the
ory is blunder, for the figures are against
it, and while tariff experts may lie with
figures, the figures themselves cannot lie,
even in regard to the price of lead.

Home Owning

In taking tour around this city, every
traveller must be struck with the number
of neat, comfortable and tasteful cottage
homes that are to be seen on nearly every
street Many of them are small, compared
with the residences of the rich, but they
exhibit evidences of thrift and care, and
are signs of the distribution OF wealth,
which is characteristic of this community.
The great point to be considered here is
that most of these houses are homes and
that they are owned by the occupants.
To own house and The land on
which it is built is the aim
and purpose of large majority of
the bona tide settlers in this territory. 1t
is laudable ambition. 1t was promoted
by the founders OF Utah, and the impress
sions made in the beginning upon the PEG :
pie have remained and beer transmitted to
their successors.
People who own their homes usually
make substantial and orderly citizens.
They have an interest in promoting the
common welfare, in maintaining peace and
in supporting good government. Their
children are more likely to grow up in this
spirit than if the parents were not perma-
nent inhabitants and owners of the soil.
This disposition to own home ought to be
encouraged. And on the contrary the de-
sire to avoid the responsibilities of the
home circle ought to be discouraged.
Hotel and boarding house life s not home
life. It may have its advantages. but as q
rule we believe they are greatly thrown into
the shade by The benefits of home. Women
become more self-reliant and more matron-
ly when they are mistress where they live,
than in place where they have no actual
control and very little responsibility.
Home building and home decorating
should be promoted by every lover of his
race. And those who are favored with
such property should strive to make them
within all they appear to be without
places for owing hearts. gardens for the
cultivation of the flowers of affection, fore
tastes of the paradise which seers and poets
picture as the eternal home of the blest.

A CURIOUS complication has arisen in the
Kansas political situation. JOSEPH RosEN-
THAI. president of a bank in the town Of
Santa Fe, in that state, proposes to carry
his discount system into the canvass for
the speakershir of the next House of Rep
resentatives, and offers boldly to sell out
his vote for Senator to the Republicans in
exchange for that office, agreeing to stand
with them in four contests, which If sue

The lawmakers of Wyoming made rather
muddle of their first state election laws.
They provided all right for elections, also
for county returns and for the canvass
thereof in certain cases. But it seems
they omitted to give the state canvassing
board authority to count the votes for pres
idential electors, the Governor or the
Chief Justice. The county clerk, with two
justices of the peace in each county consti-
tute canvassing board therein, and are
required to certify the results to the state
canvassing board consisting Of the secre-
tary, treasurer and auditor Of the state.
But while the county boards may issue
certificates to the county officers receiving
the highest number of votes, the state
board is not so authorized in regard to the
state officers.

dence of their election. 1t is fact of
election has been held and that the people
have expressed their choice at the polls.
Somebody has been elected, and the claims
of persons alleging their election are a
proper question for the judiciary to deter

proper conclusion will doubtless be de-
manded and so the difficulty that now sp-
pears will be overcome and the next
Legislature of the State can remedy the
omission in the laws.
it is evident from the legislation in vari-
GUS States and Territories, that too much
haste is often made il the framing of

tive body, which should include some legal
minds familiar with existing codes.

A Hint to Farmers.

Utah used to grow considerable fax.
What is tie reason that this branch of ag-
riculture has declnedl There is no manu-
fgcture of linen in this territory, it is true,
but there is always market for fax seed.
On q variety of soils variety of crops
should be raised. There is plenty Of land
suitable for the growth of fax in this re-
gion, and it would seem that the neglect of
this plant is very much of an oversight on
the part of our farmers. Many years ago
its cultivation was considerably eEcour-
aged. We presume there was not much
demand for the fax for manufacture, nor
perhaps at that time for seed. But now
the latter commands good price in the
market, and we believe it could be profit
ably grown by many of our farmers who
have suitable land for it. Grain does not
command high figures in the best of sea-
sons, and we would advise our enterprising
cultivators of the soil to experiment little
with fax raising with view to testing the
question of its profits. Try it, and let The
HERALD know the results.

rather appoint officers to do so. But as to
candidates, the people should arrange their
selection. Is it not about time that some
