o'clock he began to fail rapidly and his
vitality began to ebb. The three ply

at IL o'clock withdrew to the anteroom,
leaving in the sick chamber only the
members of his family, Mrs. Gresham,
her daughter, Mrs. Andrews, and SON.
in.law, Mr.. Andrews, and the nurses.
Up to that time he had been conscious
and talked at intervals. His words
were full Of bravery. He fully appreci.
ated his condition and spoke
Words of Hope and Cheer
to his stricken wife and daughter.
Some times his mind slightly wan
,dered and went back to the days Of
long ago, recalling incidents Of life and
happiness in the spring time Of his life.
He spoke, too of his absent son and his
private secretary, MIR. Lands, whom
he loved as son, and who, like his
son, was speeding to his bedside, all too
late
At l:15 his breathing ceased, peaceful
shadows passed over his pale counten-
ance, his pulse fickered and the sor-
rowing family were in the presence OF
death. One of the nurses conveyed the
news that the end had come to the
physicians in the next room, and they,
in turn, brought it to the watchers in
the reception room.
The secretsry's Last Illness.
When Secretary Gresham was taken
sick four weeks ago the physician di-
agnosed the case as stone in the
bladder. His pleurisy symptoms
were overlooked for almost 3G
hours. AS soon as DIR. w. w. John.
ston, who is now the attending physi.
clan, was called in, he discovered that
the secretary was suffering from al
acute case of pleurisy. probably caused
, by exposure while riding out to Wood.

The physicians decided not to tap the
cavity, but to rely upon absorption te

Secretary Gresham grew better. The
respiration was reduced almost to nor

thought all danger past, the left lune

Health Commissioner Stone and DIR.

kept busy all day investigating reports
from ali parts OF the city relative to
dogs suspected Of suffering from rabies

was that the dog which bit John Barri-

dogs in the neighoorhood of his home

that had been bitten, and he received
word that all that were known to have
been bitten We're quarantined. In the
afternoon DR.. Price examined the dogs.
DIR. Price traced one dog to house on
Mississippi street He examined him
and, suspecting that he was suffering
from rabies, had him quarantined to
await developments.
DR.. Buckley reported to DR.. Stone
that Mrs. Collins, living at Seventh
and RosAhel streets, had summoned
him to attend her daughter Dorothy,
who was bitten Monday by dog. The
dog could not be traced.
Another report came from A. w.
Miller of 1913 Suburban avenue. He
suspected that his dog was suffering
from rabies and had chained him Sc.

that he be examined.

WHAT THE PUBLIC GOOD DEMANDS

More often than otherwise of late
as it now does, the anomaly Of being
divided against itself; that is, of the
executive and legislative branches
holding different political ideas. These
ideas of course each desires to see
embodied in laws and placed upon the
statute book.
A year ago the people of the country
elected Republican Congress by an
overwhelming majority, which Con-
gress met for the first time last Tues
day. Extreme partisans say that the
result of that election was a command
from the people to enact legislation
on strictly Republican lines. But two
years before the same people elected a
Democratic President for four years,
which proves, using the same sort of
reasoning, that they only wanted leg
islation on Democratic lines. If this
reasoning is correct, then the people
have so arranged matters that their
wishes shall be thwarted and their
will baffled. The people can scarcely
desire such state of affairs.
Owing to the failure of the income
tax provision of the Wilson-Gorman
bill to be sustained as constitutional,
a deficit in the government revenues
has been created. Provision should be
made. and that Immediately, to rem
edy such state of affairs, and supply
the needed revenue. This can only be
done by congressional legislation. If
the Republican Congress Shall insist
upon passing no revenue measures but
what embody the ultra ideas of their
party on the subject and If the Demo-
cratic President shall refuse to ap-
prove any measure that does not en-
body the extreme ideas of his party,
the country will be left to drift along
as best it may until there is
change in all branches Of the govern
ment. If each shall hold out and re-
fuse to show any spirit of accommo-
dalton nothing will be done. On the
contrary, If each shall manifest de-
sire to make some small compromises
for the public good, much can be &C
compIished, an adequate revenue pro-
vided and an era Of truly good feeling
inaugurated. The general welfare de-
mands some surrender of extreme
ideas on the part of the President and
of Congress.

DEATH OF MAJOR ERB.

The news of the sudden death of
Major Erb will be received with sor-
row and surprise by his numerous
friends and acquaintances here and
elsewhere. Particulars will be found
in another part of this issue of The
Herald Major F2rb was one of the
best known and plea santest hotel keep
ers in the west. He figured in Utah
first in Ogden, where he was manager
of the railroad company's hotel at the
depot for several years, removing af-
forwards to this city, where as mine
host at the Walker House, then the
leading hotel in Utah, he was well
known to the travelling public, includ-
ing some of the notables of this and
other lands, as a genial, capable land
loard, and an intelligent, well informed
man. He was of very fine presence,
with handsome face and portly form,
and Salt Lake was 10th to part with
him when he went east to seek pas
lures new. When he returned he found
a hearty welcome, and all his cid
friends were glad to greet him. They
will feel sad indeed today. We SYM
pathize deeply with the bereaved wife
and daughter, and condole with them
in this irreparable loss.

t'Quick Transit Between New York
and London" is the title of work by
Austin Corbin, of the Long Island Rail
road company. 1t proposes and SHOWS
to be practicable the shortening OF the
sea voyage from this country to Eng
land. The route laid out is by rail-
from New York to the farthest point
on Long Island, that is Montauk Point,
or rather Fort Pond Bay, thence py
steamer across the AIIduIIC unloOI ~
Milford Haven in South Wales thence
by rail to London and other places.
This according to the figures shown
in the work, would save about hfteen
and one-half hours of sea travel. That
is not the only advantage. The dam
gers to shipping in the approaches OF
New York and the still greater dangers
in the Irish sea and ST Georges Chan
mel would be entirely avoided. Mails
would receive quicker transmission,
and communication from Milford
Haven to all points in the British
Islands by rail being easy, the plan
looks feasible The whole route is ex-
planned and illustrated with mays

parture and arrival are given. The

number of the North American Review,

illustrations which make the work now
considered both valuable and attrac-
tive. Published by the Long Island

that greatest of humbugs. Happily in
this case there is a complete answer
to the whole absurd story. The presi-
dent of the Pope Manufacturing COM
pany, the largest manufacturers OF BIZ
cycles in the United States, said the
story was too absurd to need contra
diction, and the facts were that the
materials for a high grade bicycle cost
more than So. He said it was true
that bicycles had been manufactured
in Japan, but they were nothing more
than children's wheels, which would
probably cost $50 to purchase here.
and can be manufactured to sell for
that price in this country. Moreover,
the japanese would have to use Amer
lean machinery to make high grade
wheels.
Colonel Pope is certainly a much bet
ter authority on bicycles than the In
ter-Ocean, though it has an advertis-
ing agent touring the world on one.
He answered completely the whole
story when he said:
We sell Columbia bicycles in Japan.
and get about S125 for them. If the
same wheel can be made there for $12
why in the world should our wheels
be in demand there?
Another thing, why should the price
be set at $12, when $50 or more could
be as readily obtained. since that would
be a big reduction from prices here?
Then again, why do they come here
with their products, when there are
so many countries in Europe where no
duty is levied on imports? The whole
story looks absurd, and I don't think
any manufacturer will woliry about it.
Such questions as are here asked
will upset even a protectionist system
of theology.

the election canvass" Where was any
injustice done any candidate? It is
not claimed by any candidate, so far
as we have heard, that any injustice
was done him, neither that any att
tempt was made to deprive him of
votes nor to count him out. Through
a slight error in the footing up Of the
returns for judges of the supreme
court one gentleman was made to ap-
pear to have run considerably ahead
of the other supreme court candidates
On checking up the returns the mis-
take was discovered and of course
rectified before they were certified to.
AS the sheets were footed up, but
before being checked to ascertain that
there were no errors, they were handed
to the reporters merely to accommo-
date them, they knowing that they
had not been checked. That is all
there is to the story of incompetent
persons" to do the work. There were
no plumbers in the returns as certi-
fed, and they do not pretend to be
complete until certified, so they could

tend that there was any fraud at

If the Tribune in the first part Of
its remarks alluded to the returns sent
from a great many precincts we would
have nothing to say by way of objec-
ton to its structures. Competent men
should be employed for the work, as we
hope they will be in future. But when
it speaks of a 'tsecret count it can
not mean the precinct canvass, but
is taking fling at the Utah Commits
sion because that paper failed in
it's little trick to work in a reporter
as the representative of candidates
at the count, and now seeks revenge in
its usual scurry manner.
If any one who had a right to be
present at the counting of the re-
turns had a grievance against the
Commission he should have brought
suit against that body, and if his
grievance was not such as to cause
him to claim his rights before the
courts of his country, surely it was
not very great, and having failetd to
do this he should have the manhood
not to belly ache" about 1t.
The "blunders in the work of the

record of the Commission, wherever
else they may exist, and the people
are only interested in that record.
