In the Poor Onar.ers Of PARIS.

On the right bank OF the Seine the

of life and energy. Charonne, Menil'
montant, Beleville, La Vlllette, Is
Chapelle, Cligancourt, Montmartre, Les
Epinettes, Bstignolles, each district for
merly an independent village with its
central street have become amalgamated
into one vast centre of population, trav-

quarters are concentrated two. thirds OF
the population of Paris. On these
heights, that form, as it were, crown

Salvage ON A burning Steamer.

1t is equally a salvage service
whether assistance to ship be rem
dcred at sea or in port. or whether
the aid be given by seamen or lands
men.
On Sept. 81, 1889, the steamship
Bay of Naples was lying at anchor
near Bedloe's island with cargo of
sc, 600 cases of kerosene. The tug
John Sylves er, passing by, saw smoke
pouring out of her hatchway. Upon
Investigation it was found that She
was afre. The master of the Bay of
Naples requested the tugs assistance
in fighting the flames. The tug sig
nailed to half a dozen other tugs in
sight, and all went to work with a will
to fight the flames, which had reached
a small portion of the iuflammable
cargo.
They succeeded in putting the fire
out after 1855 cases of the kerosene
had burned. The tugs received $780,
600 salvage, although their actual
work did not occupy much more than
an hours time. New York Sun.

All the discomfort of my journey
was forgotten in the Overlooking en-
thusiasm of my welcome. Over and
over again did "AIy Margaret" as
had called her in oldtimc school DAYS,
rush in from her little log kitchen 10
ask me if there was anything she could
do to ease my aching bones. AS |

Margaret could find beauty to utilize
on the bleakest of desert isles. From
my seat by the same window l could
see the log mine buildings ON the
opposite slope of the gulch and the
day shift coming out like bees from a
hive and scattering to the various
shanties dotted along the side of the
stream.
As l looked Margaret came and
looked over my shoulder and ex-
claimed: "Therc's john" and then,
"Why. what can be the natter" for
just behind him on an improvised
siretcher of pine boughs four men
were carrying another, so stiff and
still it did not seem as if he could be

Margaret said: "IIelp me get a

reached the doorway with their bur-

"An accident to the machinery. He

leg broken, but no evidence of other
injury. Mr.. Renfrow, with the as
sistance of two of the men, who
through many years of Yves ern life
had learned a rough sort of surgery,
set the limbs, while the women waited
the result in suspense. Through the

seriousness, and towards morning
were rewarded by seeing him open

AN IGNORANT GATHER. :,

1.-THE father of the present school
law as the Liberals without con-
science call C. E. Allen, is reported as
stating the other evening, as an in
ducement to support him for the
legislature. that he would favor a law
for the establishment of school
libraries. In this he exposed his ig-
norance of the law of which he claims
to be the parent for it provides that
the Board of Education may estab-
lish and support school libraries"
A father ought surely to be some
what acquainted with his child, and
even with one that he claims as his
child, but this reported parent does
not appear to be very familiar with
his offspring. The truth is he did his
little utmost to beat the infant to
pieces. Mr.. Collett of Tooele and Mr..
Benner of Salt Lake worked very dill
gently on that law and it was re-
vised and amended by the assistance
of others but Allen was hostile to it
from the beginning.
The present law Is considered a very
good one. 1t compares favorably with
others. 1t keeps school affairs out of
politics. That is one of its recon-
mendations. It is adapted to cities
and also to rural districts. 1t was
carefully prepared after the provisions
of the best laws in other parts of the
Union We're examined. But neither
the law or its trainers are indebted to
c. E. Allen for it's construction or its
passage, and the Liberal falsehood
that he is its father ought to be
thrust down the throat of every
Liberal that utters it to deceive the
voting public.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

The Democrats Territorial Cam
paign Committee have commenced ac-
tive service. Tonight the work will be
gin in earnest, and from the rostrum in
various parts of the territory Demo-
cracy will be expounded by some of the
ablest speakers in the party. Next
Saturday night Provo, Logan, Ogden,
Manti, Nephi, Park City, Coalville and
all the large cities will have grand raj
lies.
The splendid work Of our Delegate in
Congress and the prospect of state
hood, give the Democratic party an
opportunity to gain hundreds of votes.
The fact that through that party alone
our political liberties can be secured,
must be kept prominently before the
people.
Good news comes from all parts of
the territory, and if the Democrats do
their duty from now on until the day
of election, the victory will be ours and
statehood for Utah will be but a ques-
ton of short time.
The gentlemen chosen to conduct the
campaign have the confidence of the
party leaders and of all who know
them, and we may expect vigorous
work and supply of talented speakers
where their services are most required.
Those who are called upon should re-
spond with alacrity and fill their ap-
pointments promptly. Every member
of the party should aid in the good
work and realize that upon the result
of this campaign may depend the i'm
mediate political redemption of our be-
loved Utah. We hope the campaign
committee will receive that support
which is needful that they may achieve
a grand Democratic victory in Novem-

These endeavors to prejudice the peo-

NOT TO BE FOUND

The question is asked whether The
Herald will see anything like dispo-
sition to bulldoze Congress on the part
of the Executive ''in the dispatches of
Wednesday morning. The answer is,
we have searched through those dis
patches to discover any sort of hint
of disposition to s'bulldoze Congress, -
by the Executive or anybody else, and
have failed to find it. If it is found
anywhere it is only IN the jaundiced
mind of some Cleveland-hater who con-
jures up coercion, brutality and brib-
cry of members of Congress by the
President, out of the pestilential breath
of Republican rumor. 1t is certainly
not in Wednesday mornings dispatch
es
The reports, both general and spe-
cial, show that the Southern Demo-
Gratis have come to the conclusion that
it is better to let the repeal bill go
through than to hold out any longer
for compromise that would be only
another makeshift. There is not the
slightest evidence in those dispatches,
and not even an intimation, that those
members Of Congress formed their opin-
ion through any pressure from the
President or any bulldozing from any
quarter.
Whatever may be the opinion of the
silver men of the West, it is an irrefut-
able fact that the vast majority of
the people in the east are overwhelm-
ingly in favor of repeal Even the ad
vocates of unrestricted bimetallism be-
lieve that the best thing to do under
present conditions is to pass the voor-
hees bill at once, or as soon as the sill
yer Senators have finished their
speeches. They think the chances for
competent silver legislation will be far
greater with the purchasing clause out
of the way than at present.
If that bill passes, the governmet
will be under a solemn pledge to main
tain the parity of the two metals, and
provide for the coinage of both as may
be determined on full investigation
of the financial question. 1t is claimed
that the existing troubles are caused
by the Sherman law. Clear it out of
the way and that excuse win be re-
moved. Repeal may effect a tempo

ELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
The question is asked of The Herald
from several quarters:

The question is asked of The Herald
from several quarters:
Please state whether the school
trustees to be elected next month,
can be voted for on the regular ticket
or do they have to be elected on a.
separate ticket at the meeting called
for to take place the same evening
with the trustees as tellers as former
ly.
The general election law. approved
March 10, 1892, provides that there
shall be an election held in each city,
town, village and school district in
the territory on the Tuesday next
after the first Monday in November,
to fill all the offices of the same that
are by law made elective. That
would appear to provide for all these
offices to be filed at the same time
and voted for on the same ticket.
But the school law. approved on the
same date, provides that three trus-
tees shall be elected in every school
district, except in cities of the first
and second class, on the Tuesday next
after the first Monday in November,
1893 and bienniaIly thereafter. and
also that meetings for the election Of
trustees shall be called and conducted
by the trustees and they shall count
the votes and declare the result and
issue certificates of election.
Reading the two laws together, we
should say that there must be a
separate ticket for the election of
trustees, although that election occurs
on the same day as the general cleo
ton takes place. 1t is separate af-
fair. not under the direction of the
judges of election appointed by the
Utah Commission, but of the trustees
then in Office and who will hold their
positions until January 1, 1894 Only
registered voters may cast their bal
lots for school trustees and care
should be taken to comply with all
the provisions of the law in reference
to school elections.

BoNUs AND BOUNTY.

The difference between a bonus and
bounty is thus very clearly set forth
in the latest issue of the Logan Jour
nal:
"A man owns a hundred acres of
land on the outskirts of Logan City.
he offers to give away forty acres of it
IN pieces of five acres each to persons
who will locate and build homes upon
1t. He judges that by so doing the re-
naming sixty acres will be worth more
than the original one hundred acres
would have been without settlers. His
action is perfectly proper, and may
turn out to be profitable to him. This
is a bonus
Another man owns hundred
acres similarly situated. He likewise
desires money invested upon it. But
he goes into the legislature and gets a
law passed Offering to any settler,
enough money from the public treasury
to buy five acres of such land as he has
for sale. He thus gets settlers upon his
land without himself giving the bonus.
The public gives the bonus in this case;
and the gift is then called bounty.
Very few of the public receive any ben
eft from it, The man who receives
the benefit ought to pay the bonus 1t
never should be paid from the public
treasury.
"A bonus is all right; bounty is all
wrong
