the ring, he was informed Of this fact.
He asked to see the check, and told the
jeweler that he must have been out of
his head when he drew it. for he never
had any funds in the bank upon which
it was drawn. He put the check in his
pocket, paid 5000 in cash for the ring
and went out. UD to this point his
work had been very fine and he went
forth to realize" on it. He went to a
leading drygoods store, where he was
slightly acquainted, and asked as
favor that the store cash his check
with the jewelers. endorsement on,
which was done, his excuse for m nS

all closed and he was in hurry to

ANOTHER SUGAR FACTORY.

There is a movement on foot in Og-
den to establish sugar factory in
Weber county. Tuesday committee
of leading citizens visited the factory at
Lehi for the purpose of inspecting that
plant What conclusion was reached
is not yet known; it is to be hoped it
will be favorable, and that Weber
will yet have it's sugar factory as we'll
as Utah county.
Some weeks ago in commenting on
the proposition of a Utah capitalist to
start another sugar factory The Herald
stated that that which deferred the
gentlemen approached on the matter
from embarking their means in such
an enterprise, which all admitted to be
good of itself, was their fear of the
Sugar trust. The absence of any
bounty and of a specially protective
tariff they did not deem material 1t
was this gigantic trust that was the
deadly nightshade that hung over the
proposed enterprise. 1t is not feared in
Utah alone, but in Nebraska also. Mr.
]. G. Hamilton, manager of the beet
sugar factory at Norfolk, in that state,
on this same subject of the Sugar trust
recently said:
l am absolutely satisfied in my own
mind that there can be no further de-
velopment of the beet sugar industry
in this country if the Sugar trust is
to be permitted to- frame the next sugar
schedule of the expected new tariff
bill. Its interests and those of the
American producers are directly an
tagonistic, and 1 sincerely trust that
the representatives of Nebraska will
see to it that the Sugar trust is not per-
mitted to throttle, if not destroy, the
present promising future for the rapid
development of the beet sugar industry
throughout the United States and es-
peciaily in this western country, where
it would mean so much to all classes
and especially our farmers and wage
earners.
Those who are ever demanding tariff
legislation expect that those who are
interested in particular industries will
dictate the schedules relative to them
This practice has grown to such enor-
nous proportions in the past that the
beneficiaries of protective tariff have
come to regard it as their right to

Omaha World-Herald: A Rhode Island
man has sent President Cleveland 81
pound turkey, and an Ohio man has the
presidents goose cooked since early in
the month.
Toledo News: 1t will be strange, in
deed, if Ohio does not get cabinet

funds, Grosvenor the figures and Foraker
the silence?
Chicago Dispatch: If the east con-
cludes to secede from Kansas and Ne

moral support in forcing the rebels back

Cincinnati Enquirer: There are a great

Omaha World-Herald: 1t is passing
strange that no railway corporation has
ever condemned the Chicago river and
used it as right of way. 1t offers a
splendid natural roadbed.
Omaha World-Herald: Having dis
covered that he can hold on as mayor of
Detroit while officiating as governor of
Michigan, Hazen S. PIngree is satisfied
that his honors are coming two in hill.
Omaha World-Herald: We do not pro-
TESS TO know great deal about it, but
it is our belief that Mr.. McKinley's in

Mckinley is to be given an opportunity
OF retaining Mr. Eckels and the con-

Never before was a president-elect con-
fronted with such a tempting chance.
New York World: Mr. Hanna is doing
a good deal OF talking about his method
of making presidents. Undoubtedly Mr.
Hanna has learned a good deal of politics
lately, but perhaps he may learn more
by watching the revolutions of wagon

POPULARITY OF NOVELS.

To lay down a rule whereby the
causes of the popularity of any novel
can be determined would be a difficult
if not impossible task. In the great
novels, such as Don Quixote, Gil Bias
and Tom Jones, there are elements of
popularity that will make them fa-
nous for ages. But what of the popu-
lar novel of the day? It must have
merit else it would lack popularity.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES has much to do
with it.
The present generation is reading
new novels by new authors, while
comparatively few are reading the
great novels that were read by all the
world generation and a half ago.
The generation that read Dickens and
Thackery read the novels of Soft, Miss
Edgeworth and Jane Austen, much as
the generation that is reading Steven
son, Ian MacLaren, Barrie, Du Maurier,
and others, reads Dickens and Thack-
cry. And the readers of the genera
ton that saw the great Waverly
novels given to the world were but
slightly acquainted with the works of
Richardson, Fielding and Smollett
The reason for all this is not far to
seek. The majority of the readers of
each generation read only that which
is produced in their genera ton. 1t is
the comparatively few who care to
make acquaintance with the great nov
els of the past. When it is done it is
generally by those VINO have an aim
in their reading, and pursue it with
method. People read current litera-
ture (Which means with most people
many novels, some poetry and a little
biography because it is current. Like
newspaper reading, the habit is so
universal that he is the exception who
does not make some acquaintance with
the new novels. Everybody is talking
about them and everybody reads them
that they may know what everybody
is talking about.
When a reader goes among the au-
thors of the past for his matter he
will use some discrimination; discrim-
ination is forced upon him to some ex-
tent by the very fact that only those
books are preserved and have a fame,
merit, which has saved them from the
oblivion that comes to most books at
the end of the generation in which
they were produced. To a certain ex-
tent the selection has been made for
him.
Not so with the popular novel of the
day. Here he must go through many
volumes before he will find one worth
reading. Just as good books are being
produced today as there ever were;
the trouble is that more worthless and
Indifferent ones are being produced to-
day than ever before. The good and
the bad are mixed up together, and
one must select by chance.
Many novels seem popular today be-
cause so many are reading them to
find something to their taste. Failing
to find this in one. they pick up an
other only TO be disappointed once
more. With the novels of the past the
law Of the survival of the fittest has
had full time to operate. 1t is impossi-
bic that that law should operate upon
those of today. When today shall have
become yesterday this law viii have
operated upon our current literature;
and when il has, it will be found that
the names of many popular books of
today will have been completely lost
along with that of their authors.
