PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE.

yoyager upon lffe's sea,
To yourself be true.
And where'er your lot may b.
Paddle your own canoe.
Never, though the winds may rayA
Faiter nor look back:
But pom the darkest wave
Leave u shining track.
Nobly dare the wildcat storm.
Stem the hardest gale:
Brave of heart and strong Of arm.
You will never fail.
When the world ia cold ana dark,
Keep an aim in view,
And toward the beacon mark,
Paddle your own canoe.
Every wave that bears you on
To the client shore,
From its sunny course has gone
To return no moro.
Then let not an hours delay
Cheat you ofyour due;
But, while it is called today,
Paddle your Own canoe.
II your birth denied you wealth.
Lofty state ana power,
Honest fame aud hardy health
Are better dover:
But If these viii not suffice.
Golden gain pursue;
And. TO win the glittsring prize,
RaQdls your own canoe.
Would you wrest the wreath OF fame
From the hand of fate?
Would you write dcathless name
With the good and greatl
Would yoa bless your fellow-manf
Heart and soul imbue
With the holy task. and then
Paddle your own canoe.
Would you crush the tyrant wrong
In the worlds free fight.
With spirit brave aud strong,
Battle Tor the right;
And TO break the chains that bind
The many TO the few,
To enfranehise s.avish mind
Paddle your own eanoa
Nothing great Is lightly won.
Nothing won is Lost;
Every good deed MOLLY done

All You will TO do:

The Oregon commissioners have come
to wise conclusion in deciding not to
attempt TO make an Oregon exhibit at the
Midwinter fair. The times are not propi-
tious for big spread. and if they were
the occasion does not justify it. The
Midwinter fair is essentially local
enterprise, and will not attract much at
tention outside OF California. 1t was a
courageous thing in the San Francisco
people to shoulder such a mammoth I'M
dertaking. and it speaks volumes for their
push and pluck. But there is no money
In IL even for San Francisco, and If il is
not profitable for California's metropolis
there VIII surely be no profit in il for
Oregon.

California Is TO have her fair all to her
self, Oregon having decided after much
delay that 1t will not pay her to exhibit.
Had California been generous or even
neighborly in her treatment of the other
Pacific coast states she would profit much
more by the Midwinter iair than she will.
After taxing five months to erect her own
buildings she asked all other states to pre-
pare their exhibits and erect their build
ings in i've weeks. Naturally all declined
with thanks. California realizes that she
has competitors in the Northwest.

A CALL FOR STRAUSS wALTzEs.
,ess Pendantic Dignity and More
Human Nature Asked.

What has become of Johann Strauss
in our concert halls? For several years.
ever since Mr.. Theodore Thomas left
New York, the Vinennese waltz has
been shamefully neglected here No
doubt Strauss is as much played at
balls as ever, but few dance hall bands
can do justice to this charming music
which requires for its proper perform
ance a hrSt-claSS orchestra. like our
Philharmonic or Symphony society The
world is so full of pedants and others
whose interest in art is purely intel
lectual and never emotional, and the
suggestion that a Strauss waltz should
OCCASIONALLY be introduced at a Phil
harmonic concert would be received
with a howl of establishment if not in
dignation. Yet this very suggestion has
been made by no less a man than DR.
Hans Won Bulow, who once remarked:
I am very fond of a Strauss waltz.
and l cannot see any reason why such
a work, which is always artistic and
may be classed among the best of it's
kind, should not be performed. from
time to time, by large orchestra in
serious concerts. 1t would give our
ears little more rest from the severity
of the classics, and would act like olives
in preparing our palate for fresh
course.
Nor is Bulow the only eminent mu-
stefan who has expressed his unqual-
fed admiration of Strauss. father and
son. Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Cheru-
bini and others have done this same,
and Wagner wrote that a Strauss waltz
''surpasses in grace, refinement and real
musical substance" the majority of
the labored compositions that are plac-
ed on concert programmes. WHY then
not produce them at symphony concerts
in preference TO tedious four-story SYM
phonies by garrulous fourth-rate com
poserS2 Works of art should be Judged
by the genius manifested in them. not
by their duration or architectural
structure. It has been said that
whereas Haydn. Mozart and Beetho-
Ven built up the symphony from dance
forms, Strauss, conversely applied the
symphonic resources of the modern or
chestra to his dance pieces" What liy-
ing composer understands better than
Strauss the art Of exquisite orchestra
tion2 Who writes more ninuant
rhythms. more original melodies. more
fascinating harmonies than Strauss?
His wa!tzes are intended for concert
halls and they are animated by a po-
etc rubato, or capricious coquetry of
movement which raises them far above
ordinary dance music and makes them
quite as worthy OF a place at symphony
concerts as Chopin's waltzes at piano
recitals. Let us have a little less ne
dantic dignity, a little more emotion
and human nature about our concerts.

HoYT SHERMAN RETIREs.
His Excellent Record as Receiver
of the Land Office.

III tne L3nu O1nCe.
At the close of business hours yester-
day, the official term of FIoyt Sherman,

Salt Lake district land Office, Utah.
closed Mr.. Sherman was appointed
by President Harrison in June, 1889,
serving nearly five years
He had under his immediate charge
the mining branch of the land office
as well as the entire supervision of the
intricate accounts pertaining TO the re-
ceipt and disbursement. of all moneys
and financial matters connected with
the office. Over half million of dol
lars passed through his hands during
his official incumbency; yet his accounts
were kept in such a busineSslike man
ner that with the closing of business
hours yesterday they balanced to a
penny.
Mr.. Shermans administration has
been a clean, intelligent one: he was
dliigent in the discharge of his official
duties, ever courteous, always at his
post and now retires enjoying the full
est confidence of the numerous appli-
cants for title to the public lands and
mines.
We can testify that as a political
opponent, Mr.. Sherman is a shrewd.
hard fighter, but in business, or in the
execution of q public trust an honest
capable, upright man
Mr.. Sherman was resident of Utah
for several years prior to his appoint
ment in the government service. He
has valuable property interests here
and will continue his residence in Utah,
having an abiding faith in her future
progress and prosperity.
After brief vacation he will en-
gage in business enterprise and his
friends will wish him the full measure
of success. In this The Herald joins

day the Rio Grande Western people

The remains of Elder Walter H. Bar
ton arrived on the 7:35 Union Pacific
train last evening. in charge of Pres
ident ]. G. Kimball. The blockade
on the Rio Grande Western near Far
mington necessitated transferring the
body to the Union Pacific at Salt Lake.
Late as it was there were nearly 200
friends at the depot, and his remains
were tenderly conveyed to the home
from which he had departed in robust
health little more than two months
before.
1t is difficult to express feeling of
profound gloom that has fallen upon
our community since the news of the
young mans death was received. He
was so highly esteemed here for his
true worth, and he had, apparently
such brilliant future of usefulness
before him, that his death seems like
the destruction of some beautiful pic

A GREAT MILITARY ACHIEVEMENT
General scott's Brilliant Campaign
with COCO Men Against 10000.


The Duke of Wellington was so inter
ested in the march of SCOTS army
fInm Vera Cruz to the Mexican capital
that he caused its movements to be
marked on a map daily, as information
was received. Admiring its triumphs
up to the basin in which lies the City
of Mexico, he then said: Scott is lost.
He has been carried away by his sue
ceSseS. He cannot take the city and
he cannot fall back upon his base"
lit is certain that Scott had not troops
enough to maintain his line of commu-
nication with Vera Cruz, and that,
when he entered the valley of Ana
from his base, as Cortez had been.
After winning the battles of Cerro
Gordo Contreras, Churubusco, Molina
del Rey and Chapultepec, the force
engaged in the capture of the Mexican
capital amounted to less than 5000 men.
The army overcome by General Scott
on his march to the capital had num-
bered not less than 10000, and in nearly
all the engagements it had been in
trenched in chosen positions. The Mex
leans admit that even the force ulti-
mately employed for the defense of the
capital was about 10000. There was
at all times an immense preponderance
Of artillery on the Mexican side.
II is not pleasant recollection for
patriotic Americans that the govern
ment at Washington, influenced by po-
itical considerations, did its best to
discredit Scott in the hour of his great
victory After peace had been made
with Mexico, but while the American
army was still occupying the Mexican
capital, there came a dispatch from
Washington ordering Scott to turn over
o711ear nd 10
OF no particular distinction, and to ap-
pear before court of inquiry at Pu-
eblo to answer charges which had been
preferred against him, but which. as it
turned out, were never pressed What
the country thought of this treatment
was expressed by Daniel Webster in
a speech delivered in the Senate on
February 20, 184S. II understand, sir
he said, that there is a. report from
General Scott, man who has perform
ed the most brilliant campaign on re-
cent military record, a man who has
Warred against the climate, warred
against the enemy, warred against a
thousand unpropitious circumstances
and has carried the flag of his country
to the capital Of the enemy-honorably
proudly, humanely-to his own perma-1
nent honor and the great military credit
of his country And where is he? At
Pueblo-at Pueblo undergoing an in
quiry before his interiors in rank, and
other persons without military rank,
while the high powers he has exer-
cised with SO much distinction are
transferred TO another-I do not say
to one unworthy of them, but to one
inferior in rank, station and exper-
ience'
The fact that Scott was an eminent
member of the Wing party and a pos
sible candidate for the presidency, did
not prevent Congress from voting him

years later by a joint resolution Great
