TALES OF THE DAY.
4 True bohemian ana His Son.

He does not believe in cod formalfty,
or, at any rate, he didn't a short time
ago; but, of course, his views NAV have
changed. He liked Bohemianlsm, he said
ana even went so far as to inculcate
a little of it into his bow. He wished
the latter to regard him as companion.
rather than father and disc!piinarian,
so he taught him to call him Henry. y
instead of either papa" or father
For time the plan seemed to work
first-rate, but it is barely possible that
he may regret it now
The boy was such an apt pupil that it
only took him very short time to mas
ter the theory of true Bohemianism. and
he showed his proficiency a few nights
ago. The father was in the parlor enter
tanning some visitors, and the boy was
upstairs amusing himself by letting the
water run into a stationary washstand
He nut in the plug and turned the water
on full head, expecting it to run out the
escape pipe at the top of the basis, but
the escape pipe had gone out of active
before the boy realized that anything
was wrong the water was running over
on to the floor
He turned it off promptly. but not until
there was quite a pool OF water on the
floor. He realized that something ought
to be done about that before his mother
saw 1t, and he naturally turned to his
Companion for assistance.
He went to the top of the stairs, and
this IS what the visitors in the parlor
heard floating down to their host
Hi, Henry! Bring a mop up here, and
don't let the old woman know anything
about It. or thefe'll be trouble.
There was no lack of Bohemian spirit
in the summons, but TIE circumstances
made It just a trifle awkward, and it is
possible that he does not think so highly
of his theory now as he did at first

BOUNTY LEGISLATION.

The action of the state senate On
tuesday in passing a bill providing for
the payment Of a bounty on canaiera
root was a piece of political iegislatio,
that we do not hesitate to say Will give
our Republican friends not a uttle
trouble on the hustings in the fail
The passage of the bill was proceed
ed by discussion on the tax bill. bv
which it was made pretty clear that the
Legislature will tax the peopIe n tho
full limit allowed by the constitution
1t is also certain that the full amount
Of Indebtedness allowed by the consti-
ton will be contracted, and notwitb-
standing all the burdens which the cir.
cumstance CT statehood has brought tn
the people we must needs increase
those burdens by providing for the paw
ment of $4,000 to the person. firm or
company raising the first 10000 tons of
canaigre roots; and $4,000 to the person
firm or company that first makes and
sells $4,000 worth Of leather tanned
with canaigre root in the state. To
enact that legislation under the states
present financial condition will be an
interesting subject for discussion before
the people.
That it was legislation purely of =
political character. and passed SOLELY
for the purpose Of making a record. i,
evident in that the bill provides that the
bounty is not to be paid until two year,
hence-in 1898!
The objections to the principle Of
bounty giving by the state in general
and to this bill in particular are so well
set forth in the minority report of thu
committee-the Democratic member.
Warner and Warrum, that we give
that report in extenso in these columns;
First-It is class legislation. designed
to benefit those engaged in a particu
lar line Of business at the expense Of
every other industry in the state.
Second-The principle OF the bill is
wrong, as il proposes to levy tribute
upon the people of this state for the
support of private enterprises.
Third-The bill provides that ten
thousand dollars, taken from the peonIs
by taxation. shall be given to the per.
son, firm or corporation first to MAKE
and sell fifty thousand dollars worth az
leathor tanned with canaigre roots
within this state. thus allowing s,id
person, firm or corporation to make
profit on the leather and receive ten
thousand dollars OF the peoples taxes
besides.
Fourth-The bill provides that a boun. !
ty Of twenty thousand dollars SHAH he
paid for the first twenty thousand tons
Of canaigre roots raised in the state
which we are informed and fully be. |
lieve can be raised at q profit without |
The irrigation. cultivation and expense I
in the raising Of potatoes
wheat, fruit and other products Of the
soil.
Fifth--The bin provides further. for
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-04-02

the purpose of paying these
bounties. that "the sum IF
$4,000 is hereby appropriated out of
&iiy moneys belonging to the state not
oenerwise appropriated Taking into
consideration the financial condition of
tne state, the public debt and neces-
sues, the increased expenses of state
nood and the demand of public insti-
tulions, we fail to see where such a
to be found.
Sixth-The bill provides for the I'M
necessary expenditure of consider
aoie sum OF the peoples money, offers
gu excuse for other persons, firms and
.s Iporatlons to demand a portion of
ene PUBIC funds for their private uses
Gnu TENDS TO increase the burdens of
taxation and keep the tax levy at the
highest limit fixed by the constitution.
Seventh-The bill contains a proviso
.nat this bounty is not to be paid for
Two years. In our opinion, this legis-
iature has no right to make appropri-
atlons Tor 1898, as two other legisla-
lures VIII have been elected before the
end of that year, and we. of this legis-
lsture, cannot foresee the ability or in
ciihation Of tie people to pay bounties
upon this particular kind of root at
that time
We congratulate our Democratic
of the senate in getting so terse
anc yet SO complete a statement of the
sound objections against the miquity
OF using the taxing power of the state
IN aid of private enterprises upon the
record of the first state legislature. It
is piece of work of which they may
well feel proud and prouder of it in
the years to come.

MY LADY,s SECRET.

Ny lady, always smiled-not much to do;
But when the hours and days increase
in care,
And dreariness and WEAKNESS pursue.
When youth and love grow dim in back
ward view,
And life is but to bear and still forbear.
All! then, her gentle sweetness, unde
filed
By years of bitterness, shone forth-she
smiled
My lady smiled, in life and death;
Some envied her life that seemed all
smiles,
And some, cried out or caught sobbing
breath,
self-pitying, and God and man reviled;
But some. to sorrows burden recon-
ciled,
Were glad the gladness of her face to
Through toll and care. and heartless
apathy.
But when they laid my lady with the
flower.
To sleep, where wake a thousand
smiling springs
solitary father, praying hours
Beneath grand arch and grave cathedral
towers.
Thanked. for my iady's rest, the King
of Kings:
He knew her soul had yearned weary
whilel
To sleep. and rest the burden of smile.

and didn't come back til midnight. He
had evidently been enjoying himself. His
breath smelled of whisky. He went up to
his room. and that was the last seen of
him until early in the morning, when
boy went to call him for his train. The
boy got no answer when he knocked on
the door, and he opened it and walked
in. The folding bed had not been let
down. The boy had to look about for a
moment or two before he discovered the
old man. Then he heard a husky voice
from up near the ceiling somewhere. He
looked up and there was the guest curled
up on top of the bed, rubbing his eyes
He was fully dressed, with the exception
of his big, cowhide boots, which were
standing on the floor
say, mister" inquired the boy, why
didn't yer get into bed?"
''B'goshr' shouted the man angriy,
there amt no bed. Here I've been curled
I'M, on top Of this here sideboard all
night without a wink of sleep. Amt this
a nice way to treat a man? Hey"-Buf-

NOSE HANDY.
with Apologies to j. G. whit

With Apologies to j. G. Whittier.
Nose Handy on cold March day
AT his writing was banging away.
Beneath his old hat glowed the wealth
OF patulous whiskers and Chicago health.
Singing. he wrote, and brilliant work
He sent up stairs to the copy clerk.
But when he thought of the work to do
1t made his soft blond whiskers blue.
The sweet song died and a vague unrest
And nameless longing filed his breast
A wish, that he hardly dared own,
For something better than he had known
Mckinley came softly through the door
OF Noses room on the nineteenth floor.
He stopped moment to see Nose write
And to ask draught from the spring
that flowed
From Moses pen with its brilliant load.
Nose, stopped where the rich spring bub-
bled up,
And filled for Mckinley new tin cup,
And blushed as he gave it, looking down
AT his large cold feet and his ink-stained
gown.
Thanks said Mckinley, "a sweeter
From fa1rer hand was never quaffed,"
He spoke of the other candidates,
And said he would leave them few small
States;
He talked of the prospects, and wondered
whether.
The cloud in the east would bring foul
weather.
And Nose forgot his ink-stained gown
And his large cold feet and his battered
crown,
And listened while a pleased surprise
Glanced from his whiskers to his eyes.
At last, like one who for delay.
Seeks vain excuse, Mac went away
Nose Handy looked and sighed: by
gosh,
l wonder If Mac will give me the Josh.
Mckinley looked back when he reached
But Nose wasn't looking his way at ALL
Then closing his lips, Mckinley went on.
And Nose was left at his desk alone
All. well. for US all some sweet hone lies
Deeply buried from human eyes
And in the hereafter Mckinley may
DO something for Nose and his whiskers
gay.

EASTER.

Ring, gladstone bells of Eastertide,
Ten thousand paeans far and wide.
From northern plains of frost and snoy
To lands where Easter lilies grow
Christ is risen.
Deep in the vale the suns warm beams
Strike icy chains from swelling streams.
And in the bursting buds are seen
The coming summers wealth of green.
Christ is risen.
And as the winters night of sleep
Has ende1 for the fair springs leap.
So was the night of pagan gloom
Dispelled by life from out the tomb.
Christ is risen.
Then ring the bells in tuneful chime
And sound them loud in every cline
Go gather blushing lilies fair.
Ine altar strew in song and prayer.
Christ is risen.
. Easter day, glad Easter day,
Our doubts and fears have passed awav.
Hosannah! Let the welkin ringt
Lift up your heads to praise and sing
Christ is risen

AMOS DECKER.
BOY MURDERER IN REALITY GAVE
HIMSELF UP.
Iy to Scare Mills, and Had No Idea
OF Killing Him.

FTNDLAY, o., Aug. 6.-Amos Decker,
the boy murderer, in reality gave
himself up of his own free will He
says he ran the first night to Bluffton,
sixteen miles away, where he lay in
a cornffeld till dark. Then he went in
to town to get something to eat and
was told by friend that his victim,
George Mills, was dead. He immedi-
ately determined to return and give
himself up. After getting hasty
lunch he left Bluffton and ran towards
Findlay for eight miles. His feet hurt
him and he took off his shoes and ran
barefoOted. When half way home he
met two acquaintance in a buggy,
who agreed 10 take him to the Jail and
avoid any possible mob. He claims he
fired the revolver to scare Mills; not
to shoot him.
The mayor has released Decker's
father and three brothers, who were
held as accomplices. This action has
so enraged the residents of West
Park, where all the parties live, that
they threaten to lynch the whole fam
lily unless they are again placed under
arrest.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ga variety of
depressing influences contributed to-
ward a fairly extensive liquidation of
long stocks in today's market. Sub
stanfdally lower London prices for the
two leading active international shares
and sales of orler investment stocks

the way for an outbreak of bear sell
