and on which it asks US to come to
the front" 1t is in relation to our re-
marks concerning an alleged interview
published in the Tribune as having
taken place with prominent advocate
of free silver. Our neighbor is enraged
because we expressed doubts as to the
correctness of the purported interview
and offers, in the style of the gambling
sport, to bet five to one on the PROPOSE
ton.
In the first place The Herald is not a
sporting and betting journal 1t is a
newspaper conducted on business and
respectable methods. In the next place
we do not care a great whether the gen
tleman said to have uttered the non
sense which was published in the Tri-
bune used that language or not. 1t is
utterly and absurdly nonsensical all the
same. In the third place whether the
gentleman was interviewed at all or
not, there was no reason why The Her
which appeared in the columns of our
contemporary, "in black-faced type" as
we are challenged to do, or in any other
kind of type.
We had good reason to doubt the ac-
curacy of the purported interview, al
though that made no difference as TO
the matter it contained, because we
have proved repeatedly that language
has been reported in that paper as be,
ing uttered by gentlemen in this city,
who have declared in some instances
that they We're not interviewed al ell,
and in others that their remarks were
grossly perverted, and they were made
to appear as having said the very OPP
posite to that which they really ex-
pressed. The same perversions of ths
truth have appeared repeatedly in
special dispatches to the Tribune from
Washington, d. c. There are gentle
men now in the city who were reported
through that source to have made
statements which they never uttered or
even entertained.
But in the instance under considera-
ton we neither denied nor acknowl-
edged the truth of the purported inter
view, but simply answered our neigh
boris challenge to make it a prominent
feature in The Herald that we had mo
confidence in purported interviews with
prominent persons which appear from
time to time. in the columns of our
morning contemporary"
But we see no response to our sug-
gestion, offered as an offset to our con-
temporary's invitation, that it should
publish ''in black-faced type" it's own
remarks concerning the 'idiotically re-
creant position of the Republican par
ty on the silver question: and also
the cOrroborative utterances of Senator
Stewart on the same matter Does
our very polite contemporary "craw-
fish, on that question, or will it come
to the 'front.' or offer to make further
gambling bets as to its accuracy? Our
neighbor becomes awfully dense when
it tries to reason, and superlatively re-
dlculous when it flies into a rage.

THE PASSING OF THE HORSE.

Electric cars and the universal BIZ
cycle are driving out that noble, beau
tiful and useful animal, the horse. If
the present craze for wheels continues
there will be little use for that quad
ruped, unless it be on farms and coun-
try roads and for the hauling of heavy
loads. The horse market is far more
depressed than the cattle market.
Sheep are increasing in value both for
mutton and for the raising of wool.
1t is difficult to sell a horse just now
in these parts at any price.
We see from our exchanges that
horses which a few years ago sold in
the Eastern States for from $3.50 to
5000 can now be bought for from $50
to $40 each. Young, well-broken
horses, gentle, kind and of good style
have been advertised in New York for
SIS apiece. Not at all infrequently
whole outfit, horse, buggy and har-
ness, IN fair condition, are sold for the
same price which would be asked for
Z decent horse but a little while ago.
To what use can horses be put? is a
query which is often raised. In France
the question might be answered by
saying, take them to the abattoir and
have them sold for meat. 1t is claimed
that horse-fesh makes excellent meat.
That it is freer from disease and much
more healthful than beef and those
who have become accustomed to its
favor prefer it to the flesh of the Or
binary bovine. 1t is claimed that the
aversion to it common in this country
is the result of sheer prejudice. 1t is
possible that if the use of horse-mea:
once became fashionable, what to do
with the horses would no longer be
difficult problem.
But seriously, we believe there will
be a revival in some degree of the use
of the horse. a man or woman pre-
sents a much more graceful, dignified
and becoming appearance mounted on
the back OF a well-trained equine, than
working their way along on the finest
and most gaily ornamented wheels that
can be set in motion. The bicycle, no
doubt, is very useful under certain con-
ditions and in certain seasons. But the
exercise to be obtained by horse rid
WHEN There Oh IeCl-
ing and interchange of animal magne-
tism between the horse and the rider,
is far more healthful, invigorating and
pleasant to behold.
Driving, too, is likely TO become
much more general as people acquire
the means to keep horse and vehicle
Family outings, exercise for invalids
and outdoor excursions are not like
ly to be superseded by the craze for
locomotion on wheels. 1t is quite likely,
however. that when the electric stor-
age becomes more economical and cleo
trio energy is more easily applied, all
kinds of vehicles will be run by cleo
tricity and that will dispense largely
with the use of literal horse power
From the present outlook it is not
very likely that the horse market will
advance to its former rate of prices,
and henceforth, unless for the purposes
first mentioned above, there will not be
a great demand for that noble and usS-
full animal which is the pride and ad-
of all who have an eye for
strength combined with beauty.

THE CYCLING GIRL.

The hammock girl is cut of date,
The carriage girl pasSe;
The girl who rides the bicycle
Rules all the world today.
She flashes by with graceful speed,
AS f she rode on air;
And, as she glides along she finds
Admirers everywhere.
Let Bishop Doane and Bishop Coke
Abuse her as they may.
The cycle girl is here, brand now,
And she is here to stay.
She doesn't care how much they fuss,
For she knows she's all right,
And, even as they Srumble. they
Must own she's OUT of sight.
So here's to the sweet cycle girl,
In boomers or in skirts;
She's worth a dozen of the girl
That lounges refund and flirts.
And here's a wish for Bishop Coke,
A-railing on the Tense.
That he may live and grow in grace,
And some day have more sense.
-Somerv:lle Journal.
We have seen her at the dog show,

But now at the academy
We watch the daily spiel

Cavorting on L wheel.
She vetoes knickerbockers.
And skirts bifurcated. too,
And, it's said, the festive boomers

For double-barreled petticoats,
With trimmings of chenille,
Would never do for Lillian

She never weakly wabbles.
AS beginners Outlines do,

If the front wheel goes askew;
But, in calm and gracious majesty,
While others rock ard reel,
Sits airy, Fairy Lillian

THE EVENT OF THE DAY.

Today one of the most important
gatherings which ever assembled in
this city will meet in the theatre, at
10 a. m. 1t is the Territorial Conven-
ton of Democratic Societies We hope
that full delegation will be present
from all the counties in Utah. The
election of officers will take place and
business of an interesting character
will be transacted Ladies as we'll as
gentlemen will be present as repre-
sentative5 Of the organizations fin their
respective localities. and the proceed
ings will be in that respect somewhat
unique. 1t is not probable that the con-
vention will be a protracted affair.
1t may be that what is necessary
to be done can be completed so that
those who desire to do so may return
to their homes tonight or tomorrow
morning. Visitors from a distance
should receive a cordial welcome from
the resident Democrats Of Salt Lake.
and every person chosen as a dele
gate from any part of this county
ought to be present in person and take
part in the deliberations of the assem-
bly,. Democrats who are not delegates
are invited to be present and fill up the
house. They should attend in the morn
ing and also in the afternoon, as pos
sibly two meetings may be sufficient
for the business 10 be transacted. We
believe that great results to the Dem
ocratic party will accrue from this
convention of the societies and that the
good effects will be seen most accep-

A GAMBLING PROPOSITION.

We are not all surprised that our
neighbor down the street is very much
exercised over the expositions which
have been recently made by The Her
aid of its blunders and willful false
hoods. 1t has responded in its usual
elegant style, with its customary choice
epithets, and that Irritation which is
common to it when cornered. Two or
three of its daily misstatements it has
now ceased to repeat. Either they have
been demonstrated to be utterly false
by its own showing, or it has failed to
respond to repeated challenges to pro-
duce the proofs. Its silence on those
matters shows that it has some little
sense left.
But our neighbor appears to be of the
opinion that it has something where
with it can come back at The Herald

MORE AMERICAN EXPORTS.

Eastern papers are commenting on
the shipment of enc thousand tons of
steel billets from Youngstown, Ohio. to
Europe. 1t is regarded as the opening
of new market for the products of
American mills Also as evidence that
expectations of American manufac-
lures are not prevented on account Of
the higher rates of wages in this. coun-
try over those of England.
This expectation of steel billets fol-
lows the second voluntary advance of
wages at the point of manufacture.
The truth is that the American work
ing man has greater producing capa-
city than the European working man
in the same line of industry. therefore
the cost Of labor production in this
country is actually less than it is in
England where the nominal rate of
wages is lower.
The fact that steel billets can be
made in the United States as so low
cost as to compete with the English
manufacturers in their own market, is
convincing evidence that there was no
need for the high tariff advocated by
the protectionists as necessary on that
article. This export, under the oper-
alton of the Democratic tariff, is one
more proof that the prophecies of dis
aster to manufactures which Repuo-
licans uttered as a consequence of
that measure, are entirely false and
based on error in principle.
An Eastern paper commenting on
this export of steel billets says:
The real cause of the exclusion of
American products from European
markets heretofore was the tax on raw
materials. For example, the tax on
ore necessary to produce ton of steel
billets. under the Mckinley law, was
not less than 1.50. The reduction of this
amount to about half is just sufficient
to make trade in Europe possible, and
it will not be surprising if in future
considerable part of the product of
American mills is marketed on the
other side of the water

PATHETIC INCIDENT OF DROUGHT.

A pathetic incident of the recent break
ing of the long drought in Kansas is
told by a traveller who was in that re-
gion at the time the rain came. There
had been insufficient rain in this par
ticular part for several seasons. the
crops had been failures or meaere and
Improbable and many Of the farmers
were utterly respondent and sick at
heart through hope deferred But the
copious rains brought actual salvation to
very many. The traveller was driving
across the bridge over a creek that was
running bank fun after being dry for
many months and noticed an cid settler
sitting on the bank with his feet hanging
in the stream, hailing up the water first
in one hand then i'll the other and letting
it tr;ckle back into the creek. The trav
eler spoke to him. but the old man SEEM
ed not to hear st first and continued 10
bail up the water rs though in a dream.
When he did finally hear and look up
his face was wreathed in a happy smile
and tears were running down his cheeks.
The traveller made some remark in th~
way of inquiry as to the old mans ac-
tions. The settler bailed up a double
handful of water and in a voice that
trembled with the intensity of his reali-
cation of all it meant he rapturously
cried: IT'S water, friend. it's water!'-
