1t is said that no less than seven of
the Napoleon pictures reproduced in
the last two numbers of The Century
were unknown to Napoleon collectors.
The care that has been bestowed upon
the writing and illustrating of this life
is shown by the following story. The
French artist Myrbach was given
commission for picture illustrating a
scene in which Prof Sloane represent
ed Napoleon as closing in person the
great club of the Pantheon, which was
a rallying point for the disaffected
Myrbach said he could find no authori-
ty for such an episode, and he referred
the matter to the eminent Napoleonic
student, Frederick Mason. The latter
had never heard oft, but, becoming in
terested, he probed the matter, found
the documents justifying Prof. Sloane's
statement, hitherto unknown to French
historians, and supplied Myrbach with
necessary details.

A SILVER PANTALOoN.

It is amusing TO see the gyrations Of
the financial flip-fapper of the Salt
Lake Tribune Assuming that owl
like wisdom which he tries to put on
when not playing the jester, he at
tempts to read The Herald a lesson
in reference to the dollar. But in do
ing so he enunciates something which
entirely contradicts what he said on
the same subject few days ago.
When it comes to particularizing he
is a monumental failure. His forte is
in repeating in different forms, the
old generalities he learned years ago
from the silver authorities in Ne
ada.
For the. benefit of a too technical
contemporary" meaning The Herald,
he cites the words of Mr.. Preston,
Superintendent of the Mint who,
being appealed to few days ago

THAT IS DIFFERENT,

The Genessee Valley Forestry Asso-
citation has been giving prizes for. the
gathering of cocoons of the caterpii-
lars which destroy the foliage of shade
trees. That has acted so favorably
that only small rewards are offered
this year. for the boys and girls gath
cred enormous quantities of the CO.
coons last year and thus reduced the
caterpillar crop.
Now comes would-be wise conte1n-
porary, and in an endeavor to draw a
parallel between the giving of these
prizes by the Forestry Association and
the granting of bounties by the State
for private purposes. makes these re-
marks:
That would not do in Utah. or
course no one who did not possess elm
trees could possibly be interested in
that. 1t would only be wicked to spend
public money to destroy pest unless
every person could be directly benefited
thereby. The modern statesman has
figured out the great principle that a
general benefit to a community cannot
be assisted at public expense unless
every man, woman and child in the
country possess a direct interest in the
result.
Obi but it would do in Utah. If tne
Forestry Association here should give
prizes for the destruction Of tree pests
of any kind, nobody would find fault
that we know of. We will go further
than that Suppose the prizes had
been offered by the State of New York.

The Herald has explained many
times, the difference between such a

ted by many Republicans. 1t Is the
difference between a public benefit and
a private one. Preserving shade trees

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in reference TO the
income tax law, is much more sweep
ing than that delivered when Justics
jackson was absent from the bench.
1t is clean sweep. 1t covers the
whole ground traversed by the law.
An income tax, the court rules, is a
direct tax ian the meaning of the ma
tional Constitution, and such tax be-
ing forbidden by that instrument, IN
less apportioned to the several states
according to population determined by
the next preceding census, it is coni
sequently void.
To this some of the justices dissent,
but the majority are clear on the ques-
ton, so it stands, the collection of in
come tax will cease, and the money
paid will be refunded.
This will, of course, be a serious blow
to the government, as dependence was
placed upon income tax receipts as a
source of much needed revenue 1t
has yet to be demonstrated whether
the reformed tariff will bring in suf-
f1cient revenue for the purposes of
government economically administered.
IF it does not, other means VIII have
to be adopted and possibly some
changes will have to be made in the
revenue laws.
We do not believe, however, that
any radical changes in the tariff will
be approved by the public, even if at
tempted by Republican Congress. If
the revenue from the tariff is found to
be insufficient, it will be a direct refu-
tation of the predictions of the high
tariff advocates. that the reduction of
duties would bring in a flood of cheap
goods" to overwhelm the country and
prostraite trade and industry Only by
such flood would revenue from
the tariff be excessive. The imposition
OF the income tax was decided upon in
view of an insufficiency of revenue
from the tariff without it.
The tax was founded on Justice and
the principle that those citizens best
able to bear the expenses of govern
ment should contribute the most to
its support. 1t is to be regretted that
this equitable measure could not be
made available because of the defect
pointed out by a majority of the court.
1t rs evident that Congress did not
consider the income tax a direct tax
Within the meaning of the Constitution,
or the measure would either. have not
been enacted or the proportion would
have been made in conformity with the
law. The decision is sound

the needs of the nafi0n

DEMOCRACY, s1LvER's HOPE.

FREE SILVER BUTTONS,

The silver wing of the Democratic
party is adjoining itself with a badge by
which it expects to be distinguished from
the ''sound-money'' element Hundreds
of the little buttons in imitation of silver

Saturday a Halstead street costumer re-
ceived an order for 10000 He said that
this was his second order for the buttons,
the first having been for 5000. He de-
clined to say who had placed either one
of the orders, further than that three
or four gentlemen well known in Demo-
cratic circles were responsible for them.

AS TO THE SILVER CONFERENCE.

We are surprised to see in the Ana
conda, Montana, Standard on attack
ON the silver conference, manifesting
at the same time so much animus and
so much misunderstanding of the ac-
tion Of that body. The first, we should
judge, is caused by the second. That
is, the Standard has been misled and
so its anger is unfounded. Here is the
! opening paragraph of it's leader of
Saturday morning:
There has come to this Office by wire
through the night, a report of the Salt
Lake conference so extended that three
columns of space in this mornings
news pages would hardly receive it.
The bulk of this sending is thrown into
the night editors waste basket, be-
cause it properly belongs there. Out of
the wreck is preserved and printed
what must pass as the announcement
of the conference to the people of the
United States.
Let the men who thimblerfgged this
mongrel meeting of twenty-five people
take the responsibility; the people of
the broad northwest whom they SO
grossly miSrepreSented will hold final
accounting with them, and the cause of
free coinage will move right along the
same as if they never had met and
made themselves ridiculous.
Probably "the night editors waste
basket" contained the greater part Of
the address sent out by the conference,
for the Standard only prints the first
three paragraphs Of the document and
calls them the address. That accounts
for the remarks Of that paper in refer
ence to that able paper and some of
the anger it exhibits as to TO the con-
duct of the conference. When the
Standard comes to ponder on the adj
dress in it's entirety, it will probably
not find anything about it to laugh at.
But the grievance of that paper ap-
pears to be THAI all the gentlemen who
came from Montana to this city were
not received by the conference as dele
gates It prints the views of some of
those gentlemen, and probably there
was some cause for the chagrin they
felt at not being recognized as entitled
to the floor at the conference.
Yet the call for the meeting specified
three delegates from each state and
territory. They were appointed by the
respective governors. Utah only had
her three, in conformity with the rest
She had no grievance although there
were representative men present from
organized bodies in the territory. All
visitors were cordially welcomed and
they admitted that they were royalty
treated. We see no good reason for
great dissatisfaction, all things con-
sidered.
As for the address. it is a most ex-
cellent paper, worthy Of distribution
throughout the country. We hope the
Standard will print it entire. And if
that night editors waste basket has
given its contents to the flames, that

tice will be done to the conference and
to the public. The meeting was all
right. Much good will grow out of it.
The address. too, was all right, and the
Standard will be all right if it repairs
the error into which it seems to have
fallen. l4L

Concerning a great standing army
the Chicago Times-Herald says: 1T
wastes the peoples substance. 1t is
a menace to peace. AS the earth up
on the touch of the hoe yields forth
its harvest. so the American people,
whenever need of an army shall arise.
Will require only the inspiration of a
just cause to produce it. Until such
need shall arise the American sword
shall continue to be a plowshare."
This is all true. The policy which this
nation will yet adopt will be that sug-
gested and outlined by General Sher-
man, i. E., a small standing army with
a federal appropriation of not less
than 100000, Qt is now $400,000,) for
distribution among the states in aid
of the militia. Thus the menace to
peace and liberty will be obviated,
while a strong and effective force of
at least 100000 men will be created
that would be effective within the
several states. when called into the
service of the United States in sup
pressing insurrection or disorder and
in repelling invasion.
