The French Waste Nothing.

A visitor was dining with a French
who certainly has a reputation
for prudence. A cherry rie had been
on the table, and the mistress ordered
that allst oncs were to be scraped fro
the plates and placed in her storeroom.
Venturing TO ask the reason. the Wis
itor was told hat not only cherry, but
plum, peach and all stones, whether
cooked or raw. We're invariably saved,
gently dried in the over and kept in n
great jar. Then said madame, in
the winter, when the fire burns clear
and bright in the evening, | fetch n
handful and throw them among the
glowing Goals. They crack and sputter
for a moment, send mp a brilliant fame,
and the whole room is filled with a
delicious odor."

FOR A FREE LIBRARY.

Petitions are being circulated asking
the city council to levy an assessment
of one-third of a mill for the purpose of
maintaining a free public library in
this city, provision having been made
by the legislature that this might be
done. The petition is receiving the sig
natures of many leading citizens who
are heavy Taxpayers, while other lead
ing citizens who are also heavy tax
payers are refusing to sign it.
The town has no library of which
it can boast, no library at all in keep
ing with its population and wealth,
and no free library whatever. The
Pioneer library is very good so far as
it goes, but it is small and its resources
very limited. Those who have had
charge of i have done all that could
be done under the circumstances, and
that il has not been closed has been
owing to their great determination and
unceasing efforts to keep it open. How
hard the task has been they only
know and the public cannot appreciate.
We realize that the citizens of the
town are burdened with all the taxes
they feel they can bear, and every adj
dition, no matter how small, makes
them still harder to bear. For this
reason the city council may not feel
like granting the request of the petit
TONERS for the additional levy for Il
free public library. If majority of the
citizens, and particularly when
that majority includes the heavy tax
payers, desire that the levy should be
made, it should be. The city certainly
should have free public library. one in
keeping with the public school system
of which every citizen is so justly
proud. Not to have one in a city so
large as Salt Lake is rather to con-
denim its people as not being very So
licitous of the intellectual welfare of
their children and themselves.
AS soon as practicable let the city es-
tablish free public library, one in
every sense worthy of it's material
greatness

THE STEEL WIRE NAIL COMBINE.


A dispatch from Pittsburg to the New
York Evening Post says the steel-wire
nail combine is shipping nails to Ger
many at a dollar key less than the
price to American jobbers. The COM
bine is enabled to do this by means of
the tariff, the real benefit going to the
German consumer and not the Ameri-
cans. That there is a combine also has
it's effect in making the price of nails,
but the tariff allows it to force the
price up to high water mark. Under
the Mckinley tariff the duty was a cent
a pound on cut nails and four cents
on horseshoe nails. Under the Wilson,
loren.
This same dispatch says it is stated
on the best authority that the Console
dated Steel and Wire company is earn
ing at the rate of S4.O0O,000 or 30 per
cent. for the year. On equally good au-
thority it is announced that the earn
ings for 1895 were 271a per cent. The
company has an annual output of about
2SS, 900 tons of rods, $4,000 tons of plain
wire, 100000 tons of barbed wire, and
about 100000 kegs Of wire nails. 1t does
about 65 per cent. of the barbed wire
business of the United States, and As
per cent of the wire nail business,
while it does over three-fourths of the
export business in barbed wire. 1t has
paid 10 per cent dividends since its Or
ganization in 1892.
Certainly the business of the COM
pany has been prosperous to have made
such earnings as these. If the Reprbli-
cans elect the president and congress
this November, will they undertake to
give such infant industries"as these
more protection?
If they contribute largely of their fat
to the campaign fund they will I'M
doubtedly demand their pound of flesh,
and get it without any of the terrible
conditions that were imposed upon
Shylock when he demanded the fulfill
ment of his contract.

/, SPANISH DEMAND FOR WAR.


The imparciale of Madrid is seemingly
with the United States. 1t says that
the United States intead to wear out
the patience of Spain or themselves and
declare war, and that it is preferable
to hasten the event, as the inferiority
of Spain will increase with time.
That is to be taken for just what it is
worth the opinion of Spanish news
paper, though it must not be forgotten
newspapers in Europe have more in
fiuence than in America In Spain pub
lie opinion is court opinion and not
what the people demand.
1t is not at all unlikely that the
Spanish people would welcome decla-
ration Of war against the United
States, for they are proud and brave
people and have a history as great
nation What could they expect to
gain by war? They would certainly
lose Cuba and in the end be themselves
defeated. though it would be more
than holiday task for this country
to defeat them.
The American people want no war
with Spain, though they would like 10
see Cuba free, and would cheerfully
stand by the government in any
action it might take looking to a
recognition Of Cuban belligerency
or even recognition of Cuban
independence. The Spanish gov
eminent is not counting trouble at
this time, and its compliance with the
request of the United States to post
pone the execution of the death SEN
tence upon American citizens engaged
in the Competitor expedition until the
views of this government respecting
the application of their cases to the
treaty of 1895 and the protocol of 1877
can be considered, is evidence that
Spain is highly DESTROYS of avoiding
any rupture with this country and to
do all in its power to continue friendly
relations.

Whether or not he could be induced

nitely say, but if it is his party's de-
sire that he shall, he cannot afford to
ignore it. If he should take the NOM
ination, and be elected, it would not
only possibly. but probably, be a
stepping stone to the presidential
nomination four years hence. His
party appreciates him and really de-
sires to do something for him. If he
gracefully yields it may mean the re-
alization of his dearest hopes.

washington correspondents say the
administration is not SO confident of
being able to carry the Chicago con-
vention as it was just after the sue
cessful goldbug coup in Michigan.
Just now Illinois is the storm center
of the fight, and as that state goes,
SO the Democratic party will go. But
it is well to be wary of all such seem
ingly hopeful news, because the gold
bugs will try any and all schemes
to throw the silver men off their
guard so they will relax their efforts
If the silver men allow such to be
done they will be caught at a dlsad-
vantage and will be downed.

Times. Zone side or the other is right
and should help to settle the question
at Chicago. And as each side sin
cereiy believes it is right, neither can
consistently give up until the trial of
strength. Then, of course. the de-
feated side should cheerfully accept
the result" This has been the posi-
ton OF The Herald right along. The
people are well informed as TO the
merits OF the financial controversy
and must have made up their minds
on it by this time. The campaign this
year should settle it for many years

postpone TO future day that which
must be settled, and the sooner it is
settled the better.
