THE EXTRA SESSION.

z The president has called an extra
session of congress to meet on the 18th
inst. The purpose is to revise the tar
iff: the pretext for revising the tariff
is lack of revenue. That there is lack
of revenue. all admit; that it should
be supplied, no one denies. But this
new tariff law that is to be enacted is
also for the purpose of affording pro-
lection and encoura cement to various
industries. To supply the revenue
would not be a difficult matter, few
internal taxes laid would do that, but
to furnish protection enough has al
ways been found an impossible task.
The reason is that the more protection
those who get it have, the more they
want; those who feed upon it grow
upon II. and as they grow their appe-
tite becomes more ravenous. And thus
it is that the Drotectionist can never
get enough of protection.
When once this tariff question is re-
opened in congress in extra session no
one can say where ii will end. Tariff
hearings had and tariff bills all ready
for introduction are no guarantee of
bills being passed as introduced or in
the time proposed. Even # the extra
session shall dispose of the tariff as
expeditiouslv as the extra session Of
four years ago disposed of the silver
question so far as the purchase clause
of the Sherman law was concerned, it
would be almost certain to become the
leading issue in the next presidential
election as well as in the first congress
sional elections following the enact
ment Of a new tariff law. The COM
plete overhauling of the tariff in extra
session in 1897 makes it almost, if not
quite certain, that the issue before the
people in the campaign preceding the
congressional elections in 1898 will be
the tariff. The present administration
will do nothing for silver, beyond a
little feinting, perhaps, so that nothing
but the tariff can be the issue in '9S,
unless a foreign war should occur, a
most unlikely thing. The calling of an
extra session of congress for the pur-
pose of revising the tariff throughout
is a political blunder.

THE SALT LAKE HERALD: WEDNESDAY. MARCH TO-

because of her love for her dead son,
in whose memory the university was
founded, but in her great heart there
was room for q love for California,
and this love for California also
prompted her to make the sacrifices
she did.
The taxation of the university will
necessarily reduce its financial re-
sources 1t will do more than this
1t will discourage those who would
make gifts to institutions of learning
and those of a kindred nature. No one
ever POUNDS a college, a university. an
art gallery or a kindred institution
for the purpose of making any money.
There may be some vanity in founding
these institutions, there probably is in
most instances, but after all there is
genuine public spirit behind it. If
there was ever a public-spirited man in
California it was Leland Stanford.
And his widow is just as public spir-
tied as he was We have no intention,
no wish to criticise the legislature of
California in this matter, but it does
seem that it has taken a narrow view
of great subject, and that it has not
sustained the reputation of the state
for generosity and brcad-minded action
in all things.

UTAH AND THE OMAHA EXPO.
SITION.

Before the legislature adjourns cit
has but two days more) the matter of
having Utah properly represented at
the Omaha exposition next year should
be given careful consideration, and a
proper appropriation made for the pur-
pose of having the states resources dis
played as they should be- If the state
cannot be properly represented it
would be better not to have it repre-
sented at all. This will also be the
idea of the legislature in all likelihood
The exposition is trans Mississippi
affair, and while the entire country will
be deeply interested in it, the great
west is vitality interested in it. OF all
the inter-mountain west, no state will
attract more attention than Utah. 1t

display of her resources since she en-

political history has been unique, and

exposition next year will be very much
interested TO learn what the states
material resources are and the oppor-

A TARIFF ON ART.

The Philadelphia Ledger is disguised
with the action of the Dingley commit
tee in placing a duty of % per cent
upon oil paintings and statuary and
Bologna sausage. 1t says that pre-
cisely what the connection is in the
minds of the committee between
painting in oil or water colors and
statuary of the one part and Bologna
sausage upon the other part has not
been explained, but committee that
would rank the products of the
slaughter house with the noblest works
of art should not be expected to
trouble itself with the making of ex-
plantations" 1t declares that an equal
number of untutored South Sea
Islanders could not possibly do worse
and their natural savagery would sat
isfactorily explain their vicious folly
in the matter
1t then goes on to say that the COM
mittee should know, but, of course,
does not know, that every civilized
country in the world permits works of
art to pass free through its customs
houses, land that this country was
looked upon with contemptuous
scorn so long as it levied
duties upon pictures and statuary.
the influence of which is to
ennoble, elevate and refine the minds
of the people. We escaped the stigma
of virtual barbarism only when we
made these noble educators free Now
it is proposed to fix high duty, equal
to one-fourth their cost, upon them
again, to incur again for US the shame
and disgrace of placing the painters
and sculptor's work of genius on a
level with the butchers butchery, and
officially classifying, by act of con-
gress, a Bologna sausage with a great
picture or statue
In the abstract the Ledger's COM
ments are proper, though they very
of what civilization should be from the
standards set UP by the tyrannical
monarchs of Europe, while we in this
western world have cut loose from Eu-
rope in all things, particularly in art
ideals.
What is the connection between Be-
logna sausage and oil paintings and
statuary? Any school boy could an
swer so simple a question. Both have
reached their highest perfection in
Italy. And that is enough connection.
The Ledger shows signs of effeteness
in this matter of ideals in art. 1t is
to place tariff of % per cent
on works of art for arts sake; it is
simply our western way of expressing
our appreciation of art.

TALES OF THE DAY.
'rivate John Aliens Goat Story.

with your kind permission. gentlemen.
1 will tell one more story ere the Fifty
fourth congress passes ihto oblivion" said
Private John Allen, to a group at Cham
berlirs.
Down in the vicinity of Tupelo,' said
Mr.. Allen, some time during the summer
of 1896, a traveller on horseback espied a
tow-headed, bare-legged country youth of
about IA, driving pair of billy goats to a
wagon of home architecture. A conversa-
ton ensued. and the stranger ascertained
that the lad hauled the fluid from a river
hard by his home to the paternal cabin
for use on washdays. He was further
enlightened that the pay was sometimes
as good as Is cents a day.
Would you sell your goats, bub"
asked the traveller.
. I guess 1 would, mister if somebody
would give me 81 for en- replied the boy.
- Hold on there shouted a native, who
had just come up in time to hear the con-
versation. Don't take 81 for them there

worth So
Yes said the owner of the goats,
and if 1 had this barrel of water in h
could git a thousand dollars for it.

TAKING THE STANFORD UNI
VERSITY.

A bill was introduced in the Cali
fornia legislature eXempting the Stan
ford university from taxation, but it
was defeated The San Francisco
Chronicle says that the defeat may
be justified on technical grounds, but
people who believe that educational in
stitutions, endowed by private NUM-
ficence, help to relieve the general tax
payer of part of his burdens, will not
think it good public policy to discour-
age similar endowments; and that to
all intents and purposes the Stanford
university is a public institution, al
though it may not come within the
definition which the constitution fur
nishes; but that that is a matter
which might have been left to the
courts, and would have been had the
legislature been DESTROYS of helping
the cause of education.
Stanford university is a private in
stitution, it is true, but in purpose
and fact it is a state institution, one
that has given California a prestige
she could hardly have achieved other
wise. The California legislature, it
seems to us at this distance, has not
acted generously and wisely in this
matter During the time of the pen
dency of the suit of the government
against the Stanford estate the uni
versity was in great peril and surely
would have been closed but for the
heroic efforts and sacrifices of Mrs.
lane Stanford If iS frI1e that har af-
forts and sacrifices were made first

FREAK LEGISLATION.

With so many legislatures in session
and a majority OF til I'm strangely in
clined to enact into law almost any
vagary that chances tor enter the
head of any cratic legislator, it
looked for awhile as though Kansas
laurels might be snatched from her
brow. But Kansas, Kansas the Unique,
is still facile princeps for freak legis-
lation In this direction she will shine
as a star for ages to come, provided
the ages are not too long.
A bill has been introduced into the
Kansas house making violations of the
Ten Commandments criminal offences.
For instance, the Kansan who shall
fail to keep the Sabbath day holy or
to honor his father and his mother,
will get off with a fine of $500. while
he who covets his neighbours wife, or
his manservant, or his maidservant, or
his OK, or his ass. is liable to both fine
and Imprisonment, in the discretion
of the court. The offense of having
any other God" is punishable with a
fine of 81, 900.
For freak legislation this certainly
takes the cake" No one need be
surprised to hear of bill being in
troduced in the Kansas legislature for
placing Exodus upon the statute
books, for the legislature of that state
seems capable of anything but good
sound, common sense. But in lacking
this latter essential to really good leg
islation, the Kansas lawmakers do not
stand alone; among the 40 legislatures
and congress there are some very
precious spirits, kindred to those who

DEATH OF DICK" PARSONS.
Some Further Particulars Regarding
the Sad Accident


From private letter received by Mr.
C. II. Parsons regarding the awful ac-
cident to his little boy in Pasadena, Cal,
we gather additional information to that
given last Saturday morning. 1t seems
that the little fellow. who does not go
to school, had been having a reading
and writing lesson at home in the morn
sister had been invited to ride by a neigh
Dor who was drawing sand. He finished
his lesson and eXclaiming: 81 have read
a long time have | not, now goodbye,
was off In less than ten minutes the
little sister rushed in eXlaiming: Law
renee is dead" (Or Dick, as he is better
known by his many friends.) His mother
went to the door and there stood the
some way, no one knows how. he had
fallen from the wagon and his little
skull was crushed in on both sides. but
the beautiful face was unhurt. Tenderly
they laid the unconscious little fellow on
the sofa and in few minutes four
doctors were fighting for his life. but
to 4:45 p. m. they worked, but without
success, and at that hour without having
had conscious moment, and without
having any suffering, his spirit passed
from the little body and without a Strug
gle, but with smile on his face he was
dead.
The body was laid away to rest in the
beautiful cemetery on Sunday as ii was
impossible for Mrs. Parsons to return to
Utah during such unpleasant weather.
Although not quite six and a half years
of age he had countless friends and was
a universal favorite. Rarely does the
death of a child produce such a shock
as his did here.
He was a very gentle, kind, of a very
affectionate disposition. endearing himself
to all whom he met 1t is terrible blow
to his parents. The mother so far away
with him found friends raised I'D on
every side to aid her, and everything was
done for her that could be done.
Mr.. Parsons here was unable to go
to them and so bears the additional Sor-
row of not seeing his only boy before
burial.
1t is a terrible affiiction to them, and
many friends have SINGER ely sympathiZed
with them in their bereavement. The boy
will long be remembered and mourned by
many.

Sherman Regretted the March.

At dinner in New York a few nights
ago General Horace Porter told a little
story Referring to the great sound
money parade in New York during the
last campaign, of which he was grand
marshal. he said: THAT parade reminded
me somewhat of one that General Sher-
man and 1 reviewed many years ago. All
the bands in the parade played March
ing Through Georgia. There were seven
teen bands in line and the seventeenth
was worse than all the rest. 1t would
have been a good band to go into battle
with, because after hearing it, one would
have been resigned to any death. After
the last band had gone by, General Sher
man said: Well, if 1 had ever thought
we'd have to stand this I'll be = if I'd
have marched through Georgia.
