JOSEPH KEPPLER.

The death Of Joseph Keppler, which
was announced in The Herald of yes
terday, caused a great deal Of surprise
and sorrow, even in far-off Salt Lake.
He was the founder of that now vide
ly read school of literature. known as
the American comic paper, a school
that undoubtedly leads the world in
its kind, ana he placed the American
cartoons on the topmost pinnacle of
fame
True, there had been cartoons. and
many of them of great merit, by Mast,
in Harper's but these we're mere black
and white. and while their treatment
was good, the field was necessarily a
narrow one.
Many alleged humorous papers had
arisen and gone down up to the time
Keppler came to the front, but, at best,
they were but weak limitations Of
either English or French publications,
and did not appeal to the distinctively
American taste.
1t may seem paradoxical that it
should take an Australian-for such
Keppler waste supply the deficiency
complained of by the American reader
of the alleged American humorous pa
Ipers, but nevertheless it is a fact.
1t was in ST. Louis. in 1874, that
KeppIer first commenced to issue a
comic paper. the predecessor to the
present Puck, and it had q short and
precarious existence in that city. 1t
was not at all a brilliant paper, we are
told by a gentleman who resided in
St Louis at the time.
In 1877. however, IN New York, KEEP
pier made anew his bow to the public,
i'm partnership with Adolph Schwartz
mann, and the present Puck was
Launched. This history of the period
ical since that time is known TO every
reader in America, and it proved to be
one Of the best paying journalistic
properties in the whole of America.
Much of Kepplers earlier life was
spent in and around the theatres of
Vienna. he having conceived a passion
for the stage; and his love Of the art
finally led him to join a company of
strolling players. At IS years Of age.
he returned to Vienna and commenced
his art studies at the academy there.
A desire for adventure and to see
the new world that he had heard so
much about drew him to America, and
from a humble start-very humble,
some say-he amassed. in few years,
hundreds of thousands of dollars
That Keppler is justly entitled to be
called The Father of Humorous Peri
odicals in America, needs no argu-
ment 1t is but necessary to review
the long list of periodicals that have
followed out his Puck idea. If imita-
ton be the sincerest fattery. then in
deed must Joe Keppler have stood
high in the esteem of American pub
fishers.
The brain of the genius is numbed;
the hand of the artist is stilled forever
more, but Joe Keppler cut for himself
a niche in the Temple of Fame which
none will ever think of without a thrill
of joy that this should have been ac-
compIished in America.
May he rest in peace!

A FEW MORE MISTAKES.

We give place to the accompanying
letter although it refers to the incon-
sistencies of a paper which has so
many of them from day to day that
it would be inadvisable to attempt to
follow one-half of them:
To the Editor of The Herald:
Your morning contemporary of Sun
day last, has an editorial article of
remarkable logic entitled The Meas
ure of Prices"
Now assuming that his logic is
sound and his premises correct, where
would he lead US. He says, stating it
briefly, that doubling the money of
ultimate redemption would double the
price of labor and all products, that
halving this money would halve the
price.
Now assuming it to be true, that
the decentralization of silver about 1873
by Germany and the Republican ad-
ministration Of the United States, re-
duced the amount of real money to
one half its volume as he seems to as
sumo without expressly asserting it.
What would be the result?
Would it not be this, viz: two classes
would suffer. First-All those directly
or indirectly interested in the produc-
ton of silver. Second-All those who
had incurred debts prior to deTnoneti-
cation. Three classes would profit,
viz: First-Those interested in the
production of gold directly or Indirect
ly. Second-All those who had debts
due them, and Third-AlI those who
had large stocks of gold on hand at
the time of the change.
The people not included in these
classes would scarcely be affected at
all. Since while the farmer would get
but half as much money for his crops
the manufacturer but half as much
for his product, the laborer and pro-
fessional man but half as much for
his labor, yet the amount of money
received by each would buy the same
as before, the actual weight of gold
to do the business of the world be just
half what it was before.
1t is true that injustice would be
done while the business of the world
was adjusting itself to the change.
But ought not the business to have
come so near TO an adjustment in the
last twenty and one-half years that it
would occasion more disturbance to
change back to the old system?
That is on the supposition that his
premises are correct and his logic
sound, which as a matter of fact they
are not. For instance he says Com
modities had certain prices in 1873
Since that. they have all fallen Just
as much as silver has fallen" The
corn of the great corn producing sec
ton of the United States, the Upper
Mississippi and the Missouri valleys,
has never been lower in price per
bushel since that time than in Novem-
Der, 1872. 1t is worth more in gold in
those regions today than then. by The
bushel. 1t may not be much higher
in Chicago and New York than then
as the cost of transportation is greatly
reduced. Again there has never been
a twenty years in the history of the
world whether Won take il in the

THE INCOME TAX.

The proposition for tax to be levied
on all incomes above $4,000 or $4,000 a
year seems to be growing in favor the
more it is discussed. OF course it is
not popular among the capitalists and
the corporations. Yet there are few
of them who see its justice, being able
to look at it apart from personal in
terest
1t is likely to be big bone of con-
tention in the Senate, where capital
finds a very strong representation.
And though it is party measure,
being a feature of the new tariff bill,
! it may be expected that Senators of
both political parties will oppose it
and the majority in favor of it will
probably be small The action Of the
President regarding it is a matter of
doubt He win most likely sign it if
a fair majority of the Senate endorse
it.
The great objections raised against
it are that it is inquisitorial and that
it viii tend to perjury. But is it not
a fact that every property tax law is
inquisitorial? An assessment on per-
sonal property, whether it be house
hold effects. or merchandise, anything
kept for sale, stocks, bonds, horses,
Icattle. sheep. anything and everything
on which taxes must be paid, require
on the part of the assessor diligent in
quiry that more or less trenches Upon
the privacy which every free man
cherishes. Blanks are furnished to
leach taxpayer to fill out and swear TO.
IF he does not comply with that lequi-
Isition, the. assessor may be inquisitoriai
enough 10 learn the taxpayers pos
in detail and in toto. All tax
alton. therefore. is to some extent in
quisitorial
It may be just as well said that
ordinary taxation leads to perjury as
that this is the tendency Of an income
tax. Every form furnished to the
gAoBSi ~ tWhSi DSdiS tuc sumo ODJec-
ton. if it be an objection. But we do
not see why a man who has a large
income should swear falsely concern
ing it any more than he would as to
his taxable property. And we are not
disposed to believe that the 1noneyed
people of the United States are a set
of false swearers. who would commit
perjury to save the amount of an in
come tax. That some people would
eyade the law or violate its provisions
may be said of every law that was ever
enacted.
Some of the eastern papers have
pointed out several clauses of the in
come tax measure now before the Sen
ate, which appear to be Inconsistent
with each other and difficult Of en-
foreement. But that is not an argu-
ment against the income tax as
principle of revenue production. An
such inharmonious or impracticable
provisions can be remedied, as they
should be. and the main purpose of
the law be kept in view. They cali

ciety parIance, to be "the event of
the season. 1t will be a huge affair
in every sense OF the term. The dis
tinguished guests, the costumes of the
ladies, the number of visitors and spec
tators, the grand feast prepared for
those who want refreshments, the mu-
sic, the decorations. the-everything,
all combine to make it magnificent.
The Governor will lead in the march
and most of the prominent people of
the territory win by their presence give
eclat to the occasion. Gentlemen who
have not secured tickets had better do

admission.

The, bill to divide Emery county has
passed the Council But it is changed
in two Important particulars. The
place for the county seat is left to the
vote of the people in the new county;
and the boundary line on the south is
changed to more natural division
than was proposed, which will leave
Huntington in control of its canyon
and stream. So far, so good Now,
when it goes to the House if the name
be changed so that it will not in pos
tai affairs be COMPOUNDED with Carbon

be a great improvement. Why not
name it after some Utah pioneer, some
national notable or some great event
in the history of the territory OF the
country?
