DECEPTIVE JOURNALISM.

The long lists of figures showing
how prosperity has come upon the
country since the passage of the Demo
cratic tariff bill, greatly enrage Re
publican papers which have not the
honesty either to publish or admit the
facts We are pleased to say they are
but few in number. A great many Re-
publican journals, not only admit the
truth of the good tidings but publish
some of the details. 1t is reserved for
the Salt Lake Republican paper which
is mot Republican organ to refuse
recognition OF the truth and abuse
those who present it to the public.
On Tuesday morning, in a solid para
graph, nearly a column long, entitled
as above, the Tribune alternately half
confesses the truth and then goes into
spasms of rage against The Herald
for presenting it to the public. Here
is a sample:
Again this same paper proceeds to
say that the cabose which came in
1893 came under the Mckinley law and
while that is true in fact it was in
tended as a deception because the
troubles of that year had no more to
do with the Mckinley law than it had
to do with the alien and .sedition laws. y
Here is another:
Our contemporary gives, as notice
of the mighty improvement, a list of
iron and wool manufactures, of how,
under the Mckinley law, wages were
reduced; how they have advanced
under the Wilson law. That too is a
deception
1t is quite a step in advance for our
contemporary to admit, even in a half
hearted way the fact that iron and

SUCCESS OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAyoR

The convention of the Society of
Christian Endeavor at Boston consis-
ted of no less than $4,000 delegates.
They represented an aggregate mem
bership of more than two and a half
millions. The growth of this society
surpasseS in rapidity that of any other
religious or secular organization of
which there is any record in ancient or
modern history Starting at Portland,
Me, in 1881, where a convention next
year Of 200 delegates met, its member
ship was doubled by another year, and
the ratio of increase gradually rose
until in the short period of fourteen
years the immense number stated
above are enrolled in its membership.
The Society Of Christian Endeavor is
composed principally of young people
who are pledged ITO endeavor to do
whatever Christ would like to have
them do This includes specially a
promise to study the Bible, attend
prayer meetings and other religious
services, render active aid to the cause
of charity and to promote good citizen
ship. It is not sectarian in it's ten
denotes nor is it given to straight
laced manners and solemn department
1t promotes rational pleasures, enjoys
good music, permits the applause of
speakers and singers and encourages
cheerfulness and enjoyment of proper
recreation.
Probably it's rapid increase is due to
some extent to these departures from
the rigid rules of most religious So
cieties. The Globe-Democrat comment
ing on this feature of Christian En-
deavor, remarks:
They adapt their plans to actual con-
ditions, and accomplish sound and
wholesome results by practical means
Instead Of standing off at a distance
and lamenting the wickedness of the
world, they march upon it with ban
ners and music, and find enjoyment in
the work of thwarting its schemes and
diminishing it's opportunities. They
are soldiers of gladstone sort, and
fortune is on their side, because they
do not croak and groan.
In these times of skepticism and
worldliness, believers in the reality of
the Christian religion will perceive in
the progress and force of this society
evidence satisfactory to them that
Christianity is still vital and virile
force, and that the predictions concern
ing its dissolution are not warranted
by actual conditions. There is of nee
essity more power in faith than in
disbelief One is active, the other pas
sive. Even when accompanied with
a degree Of error, faith will accomplish
something and build UP, while unfaith
will either 10y dormant or tend to
break down and destroy.
The Society of Christian Endeavor
may not be regarded as a new re-
ligion, but rather as a movement to
ante together young people of all re-
ligions and no religion, to lead them
upward and onward as good citizens.
pledged to good works in this life, pro-
noting harmony, peace. virtue, phil
anthropy and union, with the hope of
a higher life in a. future and immortal

SILVER DOLLARS.
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
Your morning contemporary in its
issue of July Is, says, in answer to a
correspondent, that standard 41212
grain silver dollars have always been
legal tender for debts due the gov
eminent or private debts in any
amount except from 1874 70 1873. Is
this true? Were standard silver doll
lars a legal tender for any amount in
excess of So at any time between 1858
and 1878? INQUIRER.
AS The Herald understands the mat
ter, the silver dollar of 4121s grains of
standard silver was a full legal tender
for all debts, public and private up to
the 18th day of February, 1873 At that
date the act was placed on the statute
books of the country which, in effect
dropped the STANDARD dollar from
the mint law, and substituted the
trade dollar of 420 grains. The 'silver
coins of the United States" were then
made legal tender to the amount of
five dollars only. In 1878 the full legal
tender power of the standard silver
dollar was restored except when other
wise specified in contract 1t has so
remained up to the present date.
Our morning contemporary is nearer
right on this matter than we have ever
known it before. 1t has many times
denied that legal tender qualities of the
silver dollar, and stated that it was
not a legal tender for customs dues
but would have to be exchanged for
gold to pay duties with. However,
there is no telling how soon it may
deny even the admission it has now
made in answer to a question. We do
not know what Inquirer" refers to
by his date of 1853"

Whose poverty genius begat;

And so twas not singular that

This epitaph: Write me as one
Who loved his fellow men,

There was a man in our town

Who kissed ten thousand microbes off
His sweetheart's ruby lips.
And when he found what he had done
With all his might and main
He rushed up there another night
And kissed them on again.
