THE UNEMPLOYED.

There is nothing more unreasonable
than an empty stomach. Therefore ii
is not surprising that some of the IN
employed who have been trying in
vain to obtain work to support their
families are disposed to be obstrepu-
leus and to cast blame where it does
not belong.
We believe that Mr.. Bamberger and
others who have exerted themselves
in behalf Of the unemployed have done
the best they knew how to meet the
demand for work and to assist the
poor. If there has been any improper
discrimination that has not yet ap-
peared. The cry for work has been so
great that it has been impossible for
all demands to be satisfied.
We fear that some of those who com
plain the loudest have the least occa-
sion for their outcries. A sample of
that is seen in the occurrence related
in our local columns as to the semi
riot Of yesterday.
There is to be a meeting of the I'M
employed as stated in a notice in an
other part of this paper. We hope that
the working people who assemble viii
be rational and orderly, and not in
jure their cause by going to great ex-
tremes of language and intemperance
in denunciation. They will accomplish
more by moderation and fair state
ment of facts than by incendiary talk
and fauItfinding against those who are
not to blame
In these times, too, workingmen
should not set stakes as to the amount
per day of wages. That is all right in
lively seasons when there is demand
for labor. Now it would be suicidal.
Neither will it avail anything to in
dulge in threats They do no good
and as soon as made, measures will
be taken to see that they do no harm.
We hope the Council of the Legisla-
ture will not hesitate longer as to the
appropriation for the Capitol founda-
ton, which would set a number of
worthy people to work and prevent
much restitution and trouble. 1t is
for a public purpose, but incidentally
it has charitable bearing. It is Ie-
climate way to help TO improve the
labor situation and ought to pass at
once for the relief of the unemployed.

a STORY FRoM THE srRIp.

The stories told in our telegraph col
ltnns yesterday, of the suffering and
deaths in that boosted Gland Of prom
ise,' the Cherokee Strip, almost sur
pass belief; and yet owing to the lack
of quick communication, it is very
probable that the half has not yet
been given to the world
The case Of the Stone family prob
ably eclipses anything ever before
heard Of They were living in a tent
on the ground the husband and father
had, few months ago, risked his life
and suffered many hardship to pro-
cure.

Even those who may imagine that
they have, at times, suffered severely,
can not commence to realize the an
guish of that lone man on the Cher
okee Strip. 1t is a story so thrilling as
to be sickening in its nature.
The rush to that strip of country
was disastrous to many. And it was
rendered all the more ruinous to many
from the fact that they left a good
country for 4 poor district and small

deeply sympathize with the people

STRINGENT AND UNNECESSARY.

There seems to be great opposition
among the people of many settlements
to the bills relating to horticulture and
fruit pests. They appear to be of too
stringent character. The Utah
county folks especially are up in arms
against those measures and denounce
them in very strong language.
Wise proceedings to clear the terri
tory of the cooling moth and other
.destroyers of fruit which have spoiled
our orchards and robbed US of the
distinction Of producing the finest fruit
in the country, would be a great boon
to Utah And Of course nothing would
be effectual unless It was rigid in its
provisions and was fully enforced.
But the bills introduced to effect
that purpose are rather too sweeping
and are regarded not only as unneces-
sary but as interfering with local
rights and with the functions of munich
pal government. In the first place the
territorial board proposed would be an
expensive and needless body. When
the cry is for retrenchment and the
proposition is to cut down the salaries
OF existing offices, it seems rather in
consistent to create more, unless they
are absolutely essential to the public
service.
-Four thousand dollars may not be a
very great deal of money for the OBJ
Ject in view, but from the wording of
the bills we think there would be moth
ing to prevent the running UP Of a
bill every year, which
would have to be met as a deficiency
by the next Legislature out of the
public treasury.
Then the provisions which require
agents appointed by the board TO in

lspect the premises where they have
reason to believe the eggs or larvae of
fruit pests are deposited, are too in
quisttorial in free country They
also give too much power to destroy
private property. This may include a
mans orchard. fences, barns, corrals,
sheds, woodpiles. granaries, and should
his dwelling house be of lumber or logs
all might be condemned and destroyed
under the provisions of these bills.
Why cannot all necessary proceedings
of this character be performed under
the town and city authorities? If
they have not sufficient power in their
charters let it be given them by
the Legislature with full authority to
enforce any needful regulations, to rid
the orchards of the pests complained
of.
We are of the opinion that the pro-
tests Of the people of Utah county are
well grounded. And we ask the men,
bers of the Assembly who believe in
local self-government and the rights
of the people, to scan those bills H. B.
I6S, SO and 70, and Council bill Is very
closely. They are all related to each
other and need to be examined to-
Igether. We do not want to oppose any
necessary work for the extirpation Of
fruit pests, nor do we wish to see any
despotic and needless laws enacted
which will prove oppressive to the peo-
pie of the territory

ledge in that paper as near to perfec-
ton as mortals can arrive at But
alas. for the weakness of human ma
ture, such braggarts often display in
their airs of assumption the most con-
summate ignorance. A case in proof
is our progmatical morning contempor-
airy.
Under the heading of "They Like
Small Bills" it gives a dissertation on
finance that is a surprise to the ordi-
nary student of the national currency.
and a laughing stock to bankers and
adopts in money matters. It is this:
First announcing as fact what is
only an assumption, namely that bank
ers have peculiar affection for small
bills, that is of the denomination of

the American public as to the reason
why they like them so much better
than real money" Why? Here is
what it says:
The reason was because silver is in
destructable, and if silver dollar is
put out from the bank, it is sure to
come back, whereas by fire, by rats
and by shipwreck and many other
ways. the loss of bank bills annually
amounts to a tremendous percentage
of all that are put out There is q

thing that any silver man in Congress
can do, is to press into law a meas

sibly SO, and to essI in and retire all
forms of money under those amounts.
AS 1t is, to figure UP the losses by fires
in the United States annually and then
TO figure only a small percentage of
that amount as paper money, we can
see that the National banks, through
that source alone draw as much inter
est annually possibly as they do from
their customers. They all favor small
bills
Their affection for those bills is sin
cere, because when they are worn out
and lost or burned up, the banks that
issued them save just that much money,
and that is equal to a large sum an
nually
Astonishing! No wonder bankers get
rich so easily. But there is one well
known fact. comprehended even by
amateurs" in finance, which is that
the currency of national banks is Sc
cured by the deposit with the national
government of United States bonds to
the amount of 80 per cent of that cir
culation. The government holds those
bonds, and when national bank note
is lost or destroyed, the securities are
held just the same and the bank that
issued the lost note does not make a
solitary cent by that loss. Thus the
whole of the theory of that master of
! the money questionable silver-plated
sage of the Rocky Mountains, is as
bogus as the worst kind of a counter
felt bank note ever palmed upon the
public.
There is another little point in this
that is worthy of notice. The Herald

DANGEROUS
Trainers Who Are RashIy Venturesome
With Wild Animals,
verse.

Beside the regular tanners of wild
beasts, of whom the public know from
having seen them at their work, there
are some more obscure heroes in a wild
beast show, namely, the grooms. These
are the men who live among the wild
beasts; who go into their cages every
day, and sleep within a few feet of the
iron bars in order to be ready for any
emergency. Cleveland Moffett, in Nc
Cures magazine, says that from living
thus in an atmosphere of perpetual
danger the grooms come to have a
curious Indifference to claws and fangs.
Every one must admire a man who
can bear pain and face danger. The
lion tanner, William Philadelphia, is
such a man. Many times had I watched
him in his ''act" with Black Prince,
and wondered whether the lion was
really in earnest as he struck and
roared with such apparent viciousness,
or whether he had simply been trained
to play a part. Certainly the lion
looked as if his one desire was to kill
the little man who leased him &c with
rod and whip, smiling all the time
under his yellow mustache.
One night Black Prince sprang ten
feet through the air straight at Phila-
delphia, who saved his life by lodging,
but did not escape the sweep of the
lions forearm.
No knew that, however, for the
tanner showed no sign of injury, but
brought his heavy whip down with a
singing cut over the lions head, and
went through the ''act," holding a
handkerchief to his face now and then,
but smiling as before.
When he left the ring it was found
that one of the lions claws had laid his
cheek open almost from eye to lip; and
yet the man was smiling.
He meant to kill me-" said Phila
delphia, as his face was being boundup.
I'VE will never show that lion
again." said the manager, much ex-
cited.
'Oh yes, we will" answered the
wounded tanner. Il will make him
work to morrow as usual"
And he did, teasing and prodding
him that day as never before, as If dar-
ing him to do his worst.

A DAISY

HowHe Gave Away a First-CIass Snap.
GAS funny a thing as 1 ever knew of
in the newspaper business" said the
reformed reporter, was the way
Sandy Mclean gave the Chicago TTi
bune a scoop. Now, Sandy, to my way
of thinking, is the best reporter in
Chicago. He was a lawyer once, and
a mighty good one, but he saw that the
law had no such opportunities as the
ne business, and he came to
Chicago from the Iowa town where he
was practicing and began work on one
of the big dailies, He hadn't been
there a week before the managing
editor realized that he had a star, and
Sandy was given every opportunity to
make himself a name.
"He made it, too. He was put on
big story after big story, and beat
every other reporter in the city. After
a time he got to the Tribune and kept
up his brilliant work. He was with
the Tribune for a long time. The Herald
and other papers wanted him, but
Sandy stuck to the Tribune. He got a
bit free and gay, but the old man put
up with him. Finally patience ceased
to be a virtue, and one day Sandy
dri!ted into the Office only to be told
that they thought they might be able
to get out a paper without him if they
hustled.
He went out whiatling gayly and
walked over to the Herald Office. He
told them the Tribune people had just
fired him and asked for a job. The
Herald was too glad to get him. They
snapped him up right away. The next
day Sandy reported for an assignment.
The city editor of the Herald put him
on a big story he had been keeping on
the ice for awhile anu told Sandy that

He had been so used to going to the
Tribune Office that he mechanically got
off the car there and walked up 10 the
local room. He sat down at his desk,
wrote the story and handed it to the
city editor. The city editor saw that
the story was sensational, put a scare,
head on it, and ran it on the first page.
The Tribune was the only paper that
had it, and Sandy did not wake up to
what he had done until he had got a
note from the Herald city editor next
morning calling him ali sorts of names
and discharging him. He got back on
the Tribune, though, and he's there
yet. "-BWfalO ErpresS.
