Crazy On "Free Trade.

An obscure paper in distant county
publishes the closing down of the Deseret
Wooden mills in this city, and announces
that Mr.. FRANK JENNINGS, the manager
OF the mills, states the cause to be that she
does not feel safe in stocking up in the
face of the possible influx OF cheaper
wooden goods from abroad under re-
duced tariff. He deems it safer to wait
until the new conditions have become
fixed and settled''
THE HERALD would not have noticed
this nonsense if it had not been copied in
to other papers imbued with similar false
notions of political economy as the sheet
which originally misrepresented Mr.. JEN-
NINGs, and which goes on to say: 'sThis
is blow number two at the industries of
Utah, struck by the palsying hand of free
trade, reaching in ahead of its time like
the pioneer cases of a cholera scourge. -
The truth is that Mr.. JENNINGS, who
is staunch Democrat, never said or in
timated anything of the kind, but de-
clares that neither free trade nor protec-
ton had anything to do with the matter.
Numerous factories have closed down
during the operation of the MCKINLEY
bill, which, according to the theory OF
the paper in question, ought to have
fiourished like the green bay tree. There
is one In southern Utah that has been
idle for years and stands, in some peo-
ple's minds, as sign and symbol of the
failure of protection to protect. Was it
free trade that shut down the Ogden
wollen mills and the Brigham City factory
during protection times? Folly and
balderdashl
If there is anything worse than ''the
pioneer cases of cholera scourge, -
though how they can be viewed as
reaching in ahead of time'' we fail to
perceive, it is a deceptive editor so de-
sirous of hoodwinklng the public on
Republican hobby that he is almost crazy
over, that he deliberately falsifies the
views of we'll known Democrat and
manufactures for him language that is the
reverse of his sentiments.
Calamity howlers about what they call
free trade should have sense enough to
wait until something tangible gives them
an excuse for their lamentations, and not
be so idiotic as to attribute to free trade
something that has VIGOROUSLY happened
under the full blast of protection.

Interesting Questions

That there is a great variety in the
understands. How many there are is not
so generally known. A noted French
ethnologist, NJ. QUATREFAGEs, has an
nounced that there are seventy-two dis
tinct races OF human beings. And he
states that they have sprung from three
fundamental types-black, white and
yellow. They originated in northern
Asia, and becoming scattered and inter
mingled over the globe the results are
what we find to-day.
That may be very satisfactory to the
eminent ethnologist. It will not be quite
so to many other persons. This is an en-
curing age. Children ask very pulling
questions. And older people are apt to
go beyond the conclusions and further
back than the fundamentals of the
scientists and put queries that requires
more profound explanations than the
great men are able to give.
In this case the idea naturally occurs,
how is it that there are ''three fundamen-
tai types" Is that statement exactly
scientific? How came there to be three
and can they all be correctly defined as
fundamental? Why were they all differ
ent in color? Why all dissimilar in GER
tain physiological characteristics? 1t is
scarcely more satisfactory to learn that
there were originally three distinct types
than that there are now seventy-two dif-
ferent races. The explanation OF the
variety is only put farther back, the primal
difficulty remains in ali its force.
This seems to be the same in all ques-
tions relating to the origin of humanity.
Take all the theories of so-calIed science
in reference to it, and one comes to a con

case that he has that amount of property
free from all debts and liabilities, because
the one thousand dollars will not become
liability in the sense described until the
bond becomes forfeited. Such transac-
tions are of daily occurrence and their
legality SO far as we know is not disputed.
At the same time prudence will suggest a
limit to these obligations.
A. can be released from BIS. bond on a
proper application, which depends OF
course upon the nature of the bond.
When he is released it will only affect the
future. He will be responsible for B..
under the conditions of the bondup to the
time OF his release but be exempt from
that time forward. If it is an official
bond, on due notice and application the
court or whoever holds the bond will
grant the release, and another bondsman
may be substituted or the case be deter
mined otherwise according to the circum-
stances. These varying in different cases
no general rule can be given to govern all.
There are too many straw bonds given
and accepted. In this there should be re-
form. And no one should enter into an
obligation which he is not legally and
financially able to fulfill. Bonds are too
often looked upon as mere matters Of
form. They mean all they say and should
be treated accordingly.

Obligations of a Bond.

A country correspondent sends the fol-
lowing with a request to answer through
The HERALD:
First-Is an unforfeited bond legally a
liability? B.. "a. owns 81 200 in prop
erty in excess of all just debts and liabili-
ties, and exempt from execution. Can he
legally go upon BIS official bond as surety
for any sum not exceeding 81, 900? Like
wise on C's and DIS for similar amount,
during the continuance of BIS bond SO
long as it remains unforfeited?.
Second-Under what circumstances, if
any, can A be released from BIS official or
civil bond during its legal existence?
A bond of the character described is a
legal liability to the extent of the condi-
tons of the bond. But it is not liability
in the sense OF the term used in the law of
exemption. Therefore A may go on BIS
bond for thousand dollars, having that
amount of property free from all debts
and liabilities. And he may go on CPS
and DIS bond for similar amount SO
long as the earlier bond is not forfeited, for
a similar reason. He can swear in each

through they are finite want to grasp the

OF that which cannot in the nature of
things be made tangible to the grosser
senses, but it is by no means the feeblest

and women, who have become rooted and
grounded in the faith of a Diety as a
maker OF all things visible and invisible,
and who is the fountain OF life and
light. With that faith most of the prob
lens OF modern times may be nationally
solved, and the darkness that surrounds
them takes its fight.

A Momentous Question.

A lady doctor has published remedy
for cold feet. That will be good news to
great many people, particularly to hus-
bands who, when desperately in love with
the charmer that enslaved them, never
imagined when contemplating her nu-
merous attractions that possibly, while
her cheeks glowed with the tint OF the
peach and her lips with the hue OF the
ripe cherry, her pretty feet might be like
dabs of ice. How many divorces have
been the result of discovery of this kind
after wedlock we will not pretend to say,
but there are more griefs than come to the
light, and evasions are very common in
court. There are more frivolous causes
for domestic broils than the cold feet diff
Guilty.
But to put This matter on proper foot
ing we must give the prescription. Here
it is:
Take the first and second fingers, be-
gin at the nape of the neck and follow
twice or thrice. Then rub the hollow of
the foot.
1t will be observed by the careful reader
that this is somewhat deficient in perspi-
Guilty. flake the first and second
fingers" and "follow down The spine with
firmness.' 1t does not say whether this
is to be nipping or stroking operation.
The foot part is all right, though that is
ticklish sort of process, but it doesn t say
which foot. Then how is one to begin at
the nape of his or her own neck and fol-
low with any finger all the way down the
spine, with or without frmness, and do
it two or three times? If the pinching, or
whatever it is, is not to be done by the
cold-footed patient, who is TO do it?
Take the first and second finger.'' Yes,
that's all right, but the momentous ques-
ton IS, whose ''first and second finger?''

Literary Larceny.

On Sunday morning we published, by
request OF the writer, an article signed
w. w. and headed ''Musical Criticism. -
1t is well written diatribe on humbug in
reporting, and despite the facts that the
writer of the manuscript is much more
OF humbug than any of the fraternity
who are criticized, is worthy of place in
any respectable journal.
But we have discovered that it is moth
ing but a deliberate and complete plagiar-
ism. The person who wrote the manu-
script copied it, word for word, from la
Boston journal. 1t has not the merit of a
line of comment or of an additional idea.
1t was stolen bodily. The thief gained no
benefit from his larceny, either in money
or fame, for the initials signed to it are
not his, and he gets nothing from The
HERALD treasury for his pains.
Ii the plagiarism was not intended to
deceive, why did he not clip the article
and send US the reprint, or, if that could
not be done, why did he not say that it
was copied from an eastern publication?
The letter accompanying the manu-
script was dated Ogden, Feb. IL, and
signed by the pretended author. We do
not give his name now. but on any other
similar attempt at imposition the HERALD
will be inclined to make full exposure.
Plagiarism, when it is as complete as in
the present instance, is as dishonest as
filching money and ought to be punish
able by law. A product of the brain
should be protected as much as any re-
suit OF physical exertion. Due, credit
should be given to every creator, and he
who would appropriate the result of
another mans thought is very little, if
any, different from the fellow who would
pick another mans pocket.

Wait a Little Longer.

Again the omnibus bill has failed to
gain its desired place on suspension
day." and once more the chairman of
the Senate Committee on Territories has
shown his genuine Republican hostility
to Utah and other satrapies not likely to
support the Republican cause.
1t is quite improbable now that the
New Mexico bill, with the extensive
amendments which really constitute a
new misunderstanding provisions for
the admission of Utah, Arizona and Okla
homa, can possibly become a law at this
session of Congress. Apart from the OPP
position of Mr.. PLATT and others who
share his views, the business that must
be transacted before the session closes
will probably stand in the way of the
serious consideration of the omnibus bilf.
1t is doubtful, too. whether Oklahoma
will be deemed fit to be endowed with the
responsibilities and expenses of state
hood. 1t is but little while since it was
organized as a territory. There was
great fight over that. 1t was Mr..
SPRINGER's great hobby Had it not
been for his energy and persistence it is
doubtful whether the organization would
have been effected. And it certainly
looks like crowding things to rush it in
just now as a state.
The territorial system ought to be
obliterated as soon as it is safe to do so.
That is one strong argument in favor of
the omnibus bill. The sooner that anomaly
is eliminated from the policy OF the
government the better for the nation.
This should be, in very deed, the United
States. A union of free and sovereign
commonwealths composed of citizens
holding equal rights before the law.
That was the design of the founders of
American independence, that is the con-
Summation OF the liberty they proclaimed.
1t may be too late in the present Con-
gress to effect this great purpose. But
under the new administration there can
be little doubt about its accomplishment.
Utah can afford to wait trife longer,
and meanwhile the other territories can
get ga good ready and be better pre-
pared for the welcome change that is sure
to come.

A BILL was introduced yesterday in
the United States Senate to refund the
$50, 600 bail bond money paid by Hon.
GEoRsE Q. CANNON some time ago.
Particulars OF this matter have already
appeared in THE HERALD. The bill
ought to go through without hindrance
or delay. II will be an act of simple JUS
tice. The exaction of the bond with two
others OF SO, 900 each was excessive in the
extreme for misdemeanor. and since the
defendant has paid the penalty for the
offence with which he was charged there
is no good reason why the measure should
be opposed and the relief asked for be de-
laved

The Road Question.

/ In another column will be found a let
ter in relation to the streets of this city
and the necessity of putting them in {
permanent condition of decency anG
safety. Reference is made therein to G
clipping from New York paper. That
article gives particulars of a meeting on
Long Island of citizens who desired GER
tain resolutions to be submitted to the
voters of the town of Hampstead, which
contemplated the issue OF $500, 600 il
town bonds at four per cent. interest, fol
the purpose of macadamlzing number
OF roads with stone to the width OF
eighteen feet and the depth of eight
inches.
That is the plan which seems to be in
vogue in Long Island. The writer of the
letter is IN favor OF similar method here.
We have nothing to say against the mac
adamizing of the roads. But we think
Doc is a trifie severe on the authori-
ties of the city, who have endeavored to
improve the streets according to the means
they have had at their control.
In the central part of town there will nc
doubt be great Improvements as soon as
the weather permits. The expense at.
tending work on our wide streets must
not be lost sight Of. Paving costs money
no matter what material may be used, and
the owners of property abutting on the
streets to be paved have it in their power
under the law to decide whether or not
the work shall be done.
The subject of road-making is now be-
ing agitated in many parts of the country.
The difference between the splendid turn
pixies of old England and the muddy,
uneven and rutty highways in most
parts of the United States, has become ap-
preciated since so many Americans have
visited Great Britain and the present agi-
tation is the consequence.
A plan is being adopted in some places
which is somewhat similar to the local
option scheme in relation to paving in
this city. An estimate is made of the
cost of piece OF road on each side of
which is property to be benefited by the
improvement, and on requisition by
two thirds of the property owners, the
road is constructed under a competent en-
gineer, and the expense falls on the prop
erty owners according to the valuation of
the property to be benefited. This may
not work we'll in some places, but it is
thought to be preferable to the bonding
and debt-making system, and that it will
secure thorough and competent work.
There has been too much slovenly and
wasteful work in road making and street
repairing. There has been too little re-
gard for permanency and solidity. Now
the subject is being so extensively agi-
tated,, better methods Will come into oper-
alton. A great deal of literature on this
special subject is being published. City
councils and county courts ought to make
themselves familiar with the most ad-
vanced thoughts and experiments in re-
ference to this matter, and good streets
and solid roads ought to be among the
new attractions of the coming state.
