Mr.. j. w. PoTTs. who is quite an
original thinker, makes a suggestion in
a communication in this issue of the
HERALD which is worth pondering. He
shows by the reports of the bank COM
missioners and the estimated per
capita of circulation that il the public
moneys Of the state and counties were
withdrawn entirely from circulation
that there would ensue stringency
which would dislocate and injuriously
affect all business. He then suggests
that if the bank presidents, as in the
case OF this county, are good enough
bondsmen for county treasurere, the
principle might be carried out to a
logical conclusion, and that they should
become the actual treasurers OF the
counties, with the proviso that they
should, as members OF the clearing
house, become individually and col.
lectively responsible for the funds en-
trusted to them. This principle, with
certain limitations, he believes could be
extended to the state treasury. One
great public &C vantage that would flow
from such system would be that it
would release for business uses the en-
tire amount OF the public fundn that are
now locked ont OF circulation to the
great detriment OF business and to the
creation OF periodical stringencies that
result disastroualy to enterprises and
industries, upon the continuous success
of which the employment of labor and
the free conrse of trade depend. Per
haps there is the germ of suggestion
in this thought that may fructify into a
practical plan OF great moment to the
people Of the state.

Ar tn. present writing there Is no

sum OF his doodle operations was
slightly increased yesterday by another
discovery. Whittier he has gone. or

enigma. He has brought the fret stain

fellows who have heretofore jumped the
country with stolen public moneys in

whether Stewart had any claims to be
considered one OF the 'unterri6ed."

SOME HORSE GOSSIP.

The trotting horse is pre.eminently
an American institution. The nations
of continental Europe. as well as Eng
land, have looked askance for many
years at this equine phenomenon. In
England, France and Australia, the
three great racing csnters outside of
these United States, the thoroughbred
won the popular approval. The idea of
trotting horses against the watch" was
to them OF great singularity. Of late
years very many trotting horses have
been shipped to England. Australia.
Austrin, France, Germany, South Amer
lea and Russia, costing the purchaser
from $4,000 up to $4,000. Gentlemen
who are in position to know say the
business is as yet only in its infancy,
and certainly this seems feasible. for
when countries abroad come to know
the trotter as do Americans, they will
be as enamored of him as are we.

The Choir at Chicago.

The people of Salt Lake are pleased at
the prospects of being musically repre-
scented at the Worlds Fair by the far
famed Tabernacle choir. Six months ago
there appeared to be no doubt of the ap-
pearance of the choir at the great musi-
cal festival in Chicago, but recently the
matter had assumed different shape and
it became almost as definitely settled that
the choir would not take the trip.
The revival OF the project is principally
due to the visit of two prominent Worlds
Fair musicians, who were SO delighted
with the efficiency of the choir that they
urged with great persistence the wrong
that would occur il the opportunity to
sing at the Worlds FAIR were neglected.
The subsequent proceedings, with the
organization of a committee and deter
mination to provide means TO take $50 OF
the choir to Chicago and back, have al
ready been related in the HERALD.
Salt Lake is reasonably proud over this
excellent musical organization. Profess
sor Evan Stevens the leader, is musical
genius and is not only a fine composer
and practical musician but an organizer
and conductor of extraordinary ability.
The choir is composed OF talented ladies
and gentlemen and has not many rivals
in the United States.
Only about half the full number of the
choir will be taken to the Fair, on ac-
count of the great expense and the care
and difficulty of handling so large num-
Der of people, and the propriety of Sc
lection of the most competent singers and
those able to spare three weeks of their
time without pay.
1t will cost from SO, 200 to $4,000 to
take this body of musicians to Chicago
and back and pay their board bills during
their absence. If they contribute their
services that is all that can be expected of
them. A number OF concerts Will be
given by the choir which will help defray
the expenses. But it is evident to every
body who reflects on the matter that a
fund for this purpose will have to be
raised. A committee has been appointed
to manage the affair, and the gentlemen
composing it will call ON the public
spirited citizens OF Salt Lake for subscrip-
tons. We understand that liberal offers
have already been made. THE HERALD
is of the opinion that there will be little
difficulty in obtaining the necessary
amount.
The presence and performance OF two
hundred and fifty singers from Utah with
such ability as they can display will be
an "object lesson,'' as our neighbor
would say, in the instruction of the pub
lie concerning the people of Utah. No
one viii retain the impression that the in
babitants of this region are semi-ba
barians after hearing that choir render
some of its choral pieces aud anthems.
| The visit of the choir to Chicago will be
an advertisements for Utah OF peculiarly
striking character and viii be sure to
produce good effect. We hope the ar
rangements will be satisfactorily COM
pleted and that this contribution to the

MURAT HALsTEAD, the erratic editorial
politician, is one OF the best newspaper
men proper in the country. He has the
nose for news, and is generally loaded
with views, but the disposition to say
things quick and before anybody else can
think OF them, makes him bundle of
inconsistencies. Except in the GREELEY
campaign, he has always been a straight
out Republican. Now we find him ar
raigning that party for its ''blind sup

term for the bully-ragging, buldozing
and coercive course the Republicans took

The Free Portrait Humbug.

The people of Utah who are not iostled
against the world and are unfamiliar
with many Of its ways, need to be eau
toned occasionally against those bilking
concerns which live by preying upon the
unsophisticated. There are many of
them, and they pursue their nefarious
business Systematically and for some time
with financial success.
One of those frauds which is now draw
ing some revenue from Utah is an eastern
firm pretending to do an extensive bust
ness in charging crayon portraits with
splendid gilt frames. The plan of opera
lions is to mail circulars to the postoffice
addresses of people which they have OBJ
tanned in a very easy way, offering to
send one of their splendid crayon por-
traits in a magnificent frame worth $50,
ii the person addressed will forward his
or her photograph.
The reason alleged for this offer of free
gift is that the firm wants to introduce
its work in the place where the recipient
lives, and all that is asked in return is
that the picture shall be shown to friends
that they may be induced to have their
photographs enlarged at the regular
price.
That looks fair enough on the face to
foil hot
But what is the result of response to the
circular? 4 photograph is forwarded to
the firm at the address given. An
acknowledgement OF receipt of the photo
comes back promptly, with a cut of a
handsome frame. The company says a
French glass frontand a beautiful mat are
necessary to make the frame show off to
perfection, and there will be some ex-
penses in packing and sending. Ii,
therefore, the small sum of dollar and a
half is forwarded to the firm the crayon
portrait and frame will come complete.
When the dollar and half is sent the
he is persistent, and then common tin
type with trashy frame, the whole worth
less than twenty-five cents is received
and the swindle is complete. At such a
distance-away in New York-prosecu
ton is out of the questson, and success
in such an event would be very i'm
probable.
The moral is: Beware of anything that
promises to give something for nothing.
Do business on business principles. Put
not your trust in benevolent strangers. y
Get your eye teeth cut by the lance o.
common sense instead of the Jagged knife
OF dear bought experience. The free gift
business is always humbug.

A NEW plan for making up lost revenue
is suggested by Secretary MORTON of the
agricultural department. 1t consists
simply of putting a tax of 81 per barrel on
beer. This would bring in an annual
revenue OF thirty millions. 1t would be
a tax OF only little more than three
cents gallon and give the people a good
opportunity to drink up The deficiency.
Thus lager-drinking would become pat
riotic and in course of time might be
utilized for the deduction or extinction of
the national debt.

Catholic church prefers the parish sys-
tenn of education, it has not, except in a
very few instances, refused its support of

and in some we might name they are in a
