A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
. the Editnr of Nae HeraId:

To the Editor of The Herald:
An editorial in this mornings Her
aid contains timely suggestion in re-
gard to the class of reading matter
which comes before our young people.
| Our public school system, maintained
at an expense of $780, 900 to 100000 an
nually to the people Of this city, affords
to our young people between the ages
of and Is years an opportunity to
learn to read and is supposed to foster
a taste for reading. The common
school is the beginning of an education
to most of our people. What oppor-
tunity does this city give to our peo-
pie above IS years Of age to crafty
! this appetite so formed? [ imagine it
would be a somewhat difficult matter
to find in Old England, New England,
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana or Wisconsin a
city of ten thousand people without a
free public library and reading room.
1t is said Salt Lake City cannot
afford this especially in hard times.
But can she afford to do without it?
Has it ever needed one so much as
for the last three years? 1t would cost
something, but we'll selected free
library with suitable reading rooms at

would have saved tens of thousands
of dollars to the unemployed which
have been spent in resorts that have
had no tendency to elevate their fire.
quenters, and this money has been
spent by those least able to spare it,
1t has been found by actual experience
that good books in a we'll selected free
library tend to destroy or displace the
vile trash, mentioned in your editorial
to quite considerable extent.
As mere matter of dollars and
cents would it not pay the people of
this city to satisfy this appetite for
reading, which they have fostered by
supplying good books rather than al
low it to be fed with this dangerous
rubbish? The expense of ten criminal
trials yearly would support a free pub
lie library for Salt Lake City munifi-
Gently. If you ask why put it on these
sordid grounds, L answer because the
other advantages are self-evident to
any one who has given the matter
thought e. l..
Salt Lake City, Aug. 2, 1895.
The Herald is strongly in favor of
free public library and reading room.
It ought to be established Its cost
to the city would be light Its benefits
would be abundant. We would have no
objection, as soon as it could be af
forded, to have billiard rooms with
rooms for chess, chequer and other
such amusements which are harmless.
True, they have been associated with
drinking and drinking establishments.
but they could be made entirely respec-
table by dissociating them. No intoxi-
cants should be permitted on the
premises. Such an establishment
would draw many young men from
places where evil habits are contracted
and encouraged, and would certainly
aid in the Improvement of our youth.
When will something practical be done
in this direction?

operative pork-killing establishments
have been erected in Denmark, and
during that time Denmark has risen
TO the second rank in the English
market as a pork supply nation, second
only to the United States. The egg
export business of the country has
also become very great.
Cooperation is now extensively
adopted so that nearly every village
has a cooperative store for general
merchandise, and there are many CO.
operative bakeries, breweries, flour
mills and sugar manufactures.
There are about 400 banks in Den
mark owned by the peasants them
selves, who have also organized their
own insurance associations. All of
which affords proof of the progress,
thrift and enterprise of the Danish
people.
We make this .epitome of the PAM
phlet because we are sure it will prove
of interest to a great many Scandi-
navians in Utah, who are among the
most thrifty and solid of her popula-
ton. And it will also afford some in

WHAT Is WANTED.

At convention held in Austin,
Texas, a short time ago, some strong
silver resolutions were adopted after
a rousing speech from Ex-Governor
Hogg. One of the resolutions has
drawn the fire from goldite guns in
the east. 1t is this:
1--WE believe the hopes of an inter
national agreement to regulate our
monetary system are illusory, and the
plea is a cowardly subterfuge, dis
graceful to any party and unworthy
a great nation
A New York paper turns this
against the advocates of bimetallisTn
on a basis to be agreed upon by the
commercial nations. 1t calls them
1.-The great school of free interna-
tfonal bimetallic statesmen" 1t ap
plies to them the strong language
used in the resolution and jeers them
unsparingly.
Now this was entirely foreign to the
intent of the Texas silver men, as it
is to the purpose of others who look
upon the International agreement
proposition as illusory. They have no
objection to an international silver
conference. They would be pleased if
the leading commercial nations would
enter into an agreement by which
silver should be restored to its right
full uses as money. They have moth
ing to say against any gentleman in
| England, or France, or Germany or
the United States endeavoring to
bring about a conference of the ma
tons for the settlement of the silver
question.
That is not the point. 1t is those
pretended bimetallists who are gold
monometallists at heart, and who
seek to deceive the public by pre-
tending to favor an international
agreement which they would do moth
ing to secure, whom the silver men of
Texas and of other parts of the coun-
try denounce, and whose pretensions
are stigmatized as a cowardly subter-
fuge.
What is wanted is some definite
action on the question. international
agreement would be all right if it
could be effected but the conviction
has fastened itself upon the minds of
the advocates of silver, that the only
way to secure free silver coinage is
by the Independent free coinage of
silver by the United States. Our New
York contemporary in attempting to
misapply the structures of the Texas
silverites will not help the goldite
cause a little bit. The sentiment con-
tanned in the resolutions is all right
The application made of it by the
New York goldite organ is all wrong.
If a similar sentiment to that in
Texas is expressed in similar resolu-
tions in all the free silver states, it
will have a salutary effect upon the
Democratic party and help to bring
about the consumation devoutly to be
wished-a straight, direct, independent
free coinage plank in the Democratic
platform of 1896

OUGHT TO BE STOPPED.

A correspondent at Nephi asks the
question whether a Probate Judge or
a Selectman of the county who is a.
merchant can legally furnish supplies
to a county, and speaks of a county
official who has served in both capaci-
ties and continues to furnish various
kinds of merchandise used by the
county and paid for by the county.
On general principles it is considered
impolitic to permit any member of
county court to furnish supplies to the
county or to be a party to any con-
tract for the erection of public works.
The idea is, of course, that no man
should be interested on both sides of
a contract or Of a purchase and sale.
The interests of the public require that
all public officials shall be entirely dis
interested in any public financial trans
action.
There are, no doubt, men of sufficient
integrity to study the public welfare
in a business transaction equally with
their own. But there have been so
many instances of public officials TAX
ing advantage OF their positions to
make money out of the public by fur
nishing supplies, taking part in con-
tracts and in other ways, that public
policy demands everywhere legal pro-
visions against such proceedings, and,
therefore, laws are enacted forbidding
them.
Following is the provision of the
Utah statute bearing on this question.
It will be found on page 3OS, vol. 1,
compiled laws of Utah.
Sec DOL No member of the court
must be interested, directly or indi-
rectly, in any property purchased for
the use of the county, nor in any pur-
chase or sale of property belonging to
the county, nor in any contract made
by the court or other person in be-
half of the county, for the erection of
public buildings, the opening or i'm
provemert of roads, or the building of
bridges, or for other purposes"
1t does not follow because a mer-
chant who is a county officer sells
goods to the county that he is endeav-
oring to take any advantage of his
public position or that he would charge
the county any thing more than is
right and proper for the articles he
supplied. But the law and public pol
icy are against such transactions and
whatever may be thought of their
honesty, it is certain that there is, to
say the least, great doubt as to their
legality. They ought to be stopped

They are still debating in Utah as to
whether women shall be allowed to vote

ton. Our neighbor, the Transcript, has
recently raised the question, suppose the
state constitution should not be adopted.
and suggests that the women'S votes for
state officers would then be clearly Illegal
Our reply to this is that they would be
no more so than those of the men. The
whole voting FOR state officers would be
null and void in that case. The real con-
tention of those who oppose women vot-
ing this year is that women are voters in
Utah under the constitution in all cleo
tons but the first one. 1t seems to be
very much like an absurdity to assume
this. If the constitution gives them The
right to vote in any election it confers
upon them the right to vote in all cleo
tions.-Boston Herald.

r,HE CUBAN REVOLUTION.

A prominent Cuban who left the island
recently, and is visiting New Orleans,
I says there is little doubt in his mind of
the success of the revolution. The Span
ish army is composed of very young men,
who are not used to much exertion or a
tropical climate. They are constantly
harrassed at night by small parties of in
surgents, who prevent them from sleep
ing, and the sentry duty required is very
heavy. The revolutionists live on the
corn and other crops that grow wild in
Cuba. and there are cattle enough in the
deeper recesses of the forest to last an
army two years. The hospitals in the
larger cities are full of sick and wounded
Spanish soldiers. Campos is virtually
conducting a defensive campaign, and his
hold upon some of :he important towns
is by no means secure.--St. Louis Globe
