NEW MILEAGE AGREEMENT.
Two Persons Cannot Ride on a Mile
age Ticket.

Two Persons Cannot Ride on a Mile
age Ticket.
A new agreement between the Union
Pacific and Rio Grande Western in re-
lation to mileage tickets has been re-
Gently promulgated, by the terms of
which the practice of permitting two
persons to ride on one mileage book
viii henceforth be abolished
Heretofore it has been the custom in
Utah to issue such tickets and per-
NIT two persons to sign and use them,
but in other states mileage books have
for a, long time been issued to but one
person. The new rule is intended SIM
ply to put in effect the rule of other
states in this regard. Mileage books
will therefore be issued henceforth to
but one, person. The rule permits mile
age purchased UP to the first of May
to be honored.

The fact of Colonel Dodge coming
and his immediate trip over the route
surveyed, taken in connection with
Superintendent Welby's positive assur-
ance to the committee from the Provo

which was published exclusively in The
Herald, has about it an appearance Of
significance which looks very much
like business. The officials at the West

corning the project, but the facts are

nish strong indication that dirt will be
flying along the line of construction

that tho people, who, 1t. is said, enacted
the law, shall receive lesson.
The people never having enacted
such a law, and there being no law of
the kind in existence, why the people
should be loaded down with interest
bearing debt, as a punishment-so To
speak, is mystery that probably
nothing but gold standard philosophy
can solve.
The truth is the law has received an
Interpretation utterly at variance with
it's plain meaning. 1t was intended to
maintain the gold dollar and the silver
dollar upon plane of absolute equality
as standard money" the only differ
ence being where otherwise stipulated
in the contract" But there was no
such stipulation in regard to the re-
demption of the greenbacks, and IN
such cases the two dollars arc Of ex-
actly equal merit.
But the treasury department has so
construed it as to absolutely create the
gold standard, and the Times Herald
endorses that construction. Having
done so, it now says, put on the screws,
Mr.. Secretary, and let the people see
the perfect working of the endless
chain; pay out gold to whomsoeyer de-
mands it, issue bonds and load the ma
ton down with such a burden of debt
that in an agony of despair the people
will be ready to concede anything that
the money power may demand"
The reader will, OF course, under
stand that the editorial upon which we
have been commenting is intended to
show that the greenbacks should be
retired, and the banks allowed to con-
troll the currency as their interests
might dictate.-H. L. Bartine.

enough, there fell into the hands OF DR..

book was called THE Law Of Psychic

Never Before Was So Much Progress,
Being Made as Now.
The Chicago Tribune is great on
mathematics. 1t can add two spools OF
thread together, and upon the data thus
obtained it can tell its readers the eX-
act distance to the nearest fixed star.
1t is now proving by figures that the
silver movement is losing ground. 1t
states that in 1890 141 members of the
House of Representatives voted for free
coinage, while only 81 did so in 1896.
From this it argues e? that 1.-The de-
lirium" is being driven southwark and
westward and in few years will be
dead except in the silver producing
states.
So it is going to be dead in q few
years, is it? We have rather dim and
misty idea that during the last year it
has been declared, not once, but ten
thousand times, that it was already
dead. 1t is encouraging to learn from
eminent authority that it is not eX-
actly dead, although. of course, it is
painful to be informed that it is going
to be dead" in a few years-that is
nearly dead" Even then it is going
to cavort around in the silver mining
states. Well, this certainly relieves
the gloom of the situation some, for as
long as there is life there is hope.
II, however, the Tribune had eX-
planned to it's readers the process by
which the free coinage sentiment in
the House has been weakened, it would
have been a somewhat interesting, Il
not valuable, contribution to the liter

The manner in which republican free

PART III.

Bob's book did not make a sensation
when 1t came out. 1t sold fairly well,
and was much praised in some quar-
ters: but mostly the critics gave it
scant notice. 1t was too fanciful. and
altogether unconvincing, they said; but
Bob did not mind. He knew he had
told the story of his heart, he had de-
scribed the love which grew stronger
day by day. He succeeded very well
as a lawyer, and his partner congratu-
lated him on getting back to the world
of common sense again.
He removed from Crime street. but
he kept up his friendship with Herbert
Walker, who had been promoted, and
who hoped that the managers chair
would soon be his. About the middle
of December, Bob received an invita-
