a NOTED CHIMNEY SWEEP.

4 NOTED CHIMNEY SWEEP.
Edwatd Young os New 5orle,as and His
wonaerfuI street Song.
If the report of those who have
been there, ,sand. the testimony Of
people who have written upon the
subject are 10 be- relied upon, there
Is a vast difference between the
chimney sweeps Of New Orleans and
those of Paris, London or even New
York. This is easily accounted for
on the SCORE that the chimney sweep
Of New Orleans is not so much call
ed into requisition, for the evident
reason that ohimneys are not so nec-
essary a part Of "a mans domicile
In this city. The Partisan chimney
sweep is usuallya small boy, who
bundles himself up with rags until
he presents the appearance Of a
great Ill lobu1arI brush and then drops
down chimney, carrying with him
the dust and SCOT. In New Orleans,
however, the chimney sweep is, a
very diferent kind OF character. He
is an ordinary negro man who
smokes an old, ugly pipe and walks
around 5the CITY all day singing q
peculiar menotenous sort OF song,
which nobody can understand. The
most interesting specimen OF the
New Orleans chimney sweep is a me-
Rro named Edward Young. Young
sis an. ord mary looking darky, but
possessed sof more than the ordi-
nary Intelligence Of his race. he has
beenssWeepi the ohimneys Of New
Orleans FOR ~ years, and there is
hardly q chimney In the city which
has not felt the:rubbing Of his pal
metto brush. - -
But the chief character Of Young
is the way he adyertises his bust:
ness. Every chimney sweep, as he
goes along the streets, has a wayjof
calling attention to the fact that he
Is q chimney sweep. But Edward
Young has made himself more pop
ular. than any Of them by the pecnl-
lar III way he calls out his profession.
Everybody has heard that monoto,
ini, nous song which Young sings as he
walks along. Il is an impossible
task to describe the song. Even a
s'mfnas;i 'rf nas;ijc ijcian who knew his business
would wldesperate in trying to
catch his outlandish melody. And IT
is this.Inslody which is now max
ing Young plenty OF money, for peo-
sple with ohimneys TO sweep have
learned to wait until they hear his
.woeful song in the distance. The
words OF the song vary, but they
generally ran like this: !

Every steamer from Honolulu is

to be Just now that Dole must go; this
conclusion is said to be admitted by
Mr.. Thurston. who knows as much as
anybody about prevailing conditions
on the islands. The Dole administra-
ton, It appears. is in constant terror
OF another revolution and In grave
doubt of its ability to cope with one II
IL comes.
The Standard has always held to the
opinion that the Dole republic Is the
offspring Of a conspiracy. We have
never been able to persuade ourselves
that It Is a republic whose foundations
were laid on praiseworthy conduct. 1t
was established not because it's fathers
were patriots. but simply because the
government that was overthrown could
not cope with the United States ma
rines who were on the spot.
We are not saying that an Hawaiian
republic might not be a good thing
although there is question even on that
score. But we believe that the Dole
style of republic is a very bad article.

Utah's Constitution.

The constitutional convention of Utah
has finished it's work. The constitution
n prepared will be submitted to the
people of the territory at the election
I'm November, and there is no question
OF its adoption. There has been some
little talk of opposition from the anti
Mormon ranks. but II won't amount 70
anything. The ground for the opposi-
ton is the extension of the suffrage to
women, Il being argued that the Nor
mon families contain large number Of
women. and that the Mormons. there
fore, will have more than their share
OF influence in affairs of state. But
Utah is simply following the lead OF
wyoming and Colorado in the matter
of putting women on n political equal
ity with men, and to continue fighting
the Mormons as such IL hardly the
right thing to do. The Mormons seem
TO be behaving themselves very well;
they are attending to their own busi-
ness. and, so far as one can judge at
this distance. making first-rate citi-
zens. A distinctive feature of the new
constitution. IL should be observed. Is
a provision absolutely prohibiting
polygamy.
In a few respects Utah's constitution
resembles Montana's. The state can
not create an Indebtedness exceeding
500. 900. The credit of neither state
nor county nor city can be given to
further any enterprise. The idea of
these severe restrictions was borrowed
from the Mormon church. the policy of

A Prince of SwindIers.

A few days ago a press dispatch un-
der London date said that Jabez Bal
four had been held for trial. Bal
four's career has been remarkable-his
distinction is that he is the greatest
swindler of recent times. A quarter OF
a century ago he began his work OF
operating on an enormous scale In
building associations, trusts, mutual
benefit concerns and the like. Some
how he always worked a sort of phil
anthropic racket into his schemes. He
was a man who gave constant public
ity to the fact that he was devoutly
pious. He identified himself conspicu-
ously with every form of religious or
benevolent work. He worked his way
into the confidence OF thousands of peo-
pie of modest means. His companies
paid attractively large dividends, not
realized, as was afterwards discovered,
out of the earnings. He figured in pol
itics and sat in the house of commons.

sonaI solicitation of his agents. he in
