AsAD ACCIDENT AND DLATa.
Ono of the saddsst acsidsnts that has

h hsppsned in Washburn, Wednesday, from
wh,oh the little boy baby and only child
of Rev. H. C. and Mrs. spelksr lost its

remaining two or three left by the child
in tho pill box, he thinks they contained

Brown, Chlca...
Out on North Dakota's vast plains,
With cold, nl,mbed fingers holding tile reins,
Hardly able the road 70 keep,
With snow drifts everywhere ten feet deep.
Up the hill and down the dale.
Feet almost frozen aud faces pale.
Amid the blizzards rush and whirl
Ride Abe, and Daisy. and Little Earl.
On one side only the forest dark,
While on the other not spark
OF light to guide them on their way,
And for many hours they have been estray.
A welcome sound now disdells all fear.
The bark OF dog approaching near;
Their weary ride will soon be over.
Thanks to the bark Of good dog Rover.

END ora THE JuBILEE.


The Pioneer Jubilee is now thing
of the past and has become a part OF
the history of the state. 1t has been
a glorious week with nothing to mar
the general rejoicing save the regret
table accident of Friday night. The IL
Elimination of the town has been mag
nifcent and would have done credit to
any city anywhere, while the decora-
tions were profuse.
And the parades! How grand and
beautiful they were, It seems almost
an invidious destination to select any
one for commentator above the rest,
but the parade of the children, and that
of yesterday are deserving of special
mention for their uniqueness. That of
yesterday will ever be remembered by
those who saw it, for it is one that can
never be produced again. Never again
will so many members of the Mormon
battalion, Mexican war veterans, be
seen marching together, for yet little
while there will be none to march. And
never, never again viii those old pio-
neers, men and women, march in pro-
cession to commemorate their arrival
in Utah. II was a solemn and i'm
pressive, almost a sad sight to see
them as they marched by. 1t was their
desire to march, and they insisted upon
it. Blessings on all their heads The
reproduction of the methods of travel
used to reach the valley was perfect
and brought tears to the eyes of many
a pioneer who had crossed the plains
fifty years ago, for it revived memo
ries both sorrowful and sacred How
true was the old stage coach, driven
and filled with men who had made
stage coaching a business in other
days. And the pony express. That, too,
was perfectly represented by the very
men who had ridden it, Could any
thing have been more natural than the
Indians? They, also. may be said TO
represent the past, and they very prop
erly had a place in the great parade.
the floats were beautiful and gorgeous,
and the little girls and young women
upon them were simply divine. Every
feature is worthy of special comment
but it is impossible to make it.
The Jubilee can be pronounced
grand success and worthy of the event
it commemorated; the people of the
city and the state may well be proud
of 1t. And those VINO fifty years hence
shall celebrate the hundredth anniver-
sary of the founding of the state may
profit much by studying how the fifth
eth anniversary of the founding of
Utah was celebrated.

HE TWO cLEvELANDs.

Henry Watterson. in the Courier
Journal, says: There are two Cleve-
Landslide ideal and the real-the
Cleveland of the cuckoos and the Cleve-
land of terra frma. The real Cleveland
is a strong. self-confident man-selfish,
self-seeking and self-willed-who gets
his information by absorption and
never read a book in his life-a master
and not a leader. a destructive, not
constructive, but. in executive affairs,
Industrious, capable and honest
There are certainly more Clevelands
than that, at least six, employing the
likely there are as many Clevelands as
there are people who attempt to ana
I'VE the character of the ex-president.
Whether any of them ever get a cor
rect idea of the real Cleveland . it is
hard to say, for no man is always the
same to himself-and not being that,
how can he 6e the same to other peo-
judge others by himself. but how can
one do otherwise? Each has his ideals
and standards, shifting and uncertain
they may be. but they are the only ones
by which he can judge. Then, again,
mems preiudices are as much a part of
their standards in all things as any
thing else possibly more.
It NAV be that Mr.. Watterson's char
acterization of the ex-president is the
right one, that it presents a true pic
ture. Sure it is that tia picture he
presents of the ex-president is one that
will be generally accepted by the ma
jority of those who have no admira-
ton for him. BY them Mr.. Watterson's
picture will be accepted as correct in
the main, a sort of composite picture,
SO to speak, all contributing something,
all sacrificing something.
Mr. Watterson's characterization is
very happy, whatever else it may be;
and this is much.

THE STATES FLAGSTAFF.

There was nothing that challenged
more attention yesterday than the ma
tional flag floating from The Herald
Flagstaff on Ensign Peak. Everybody
noticed it: all commented most favor
ably upon The Herald's enterprise in
placing it there; our evening contem-
porary, the Deseret News, spoke most
graciously and appreciatively of it. But
it is The Herald's Flagstaff no more; it
now belongs to the state of Utah. Yes
terday morning at sunrise the Flagstaff
and flag We're turned over to the signal
corps of the National Guard of Utah
by a member of The Herald staff, and

it was formally presented to the state
by Mr. Mcdaniel, on behalf of The
Herald, and accepted by Governor
Wells on behalf of the state.
When the flagstaff was erected the
names OF all who contributed to the
flagstaff fund and the names of the
president and officers of The Herald
company, together with the names of
those on the staff of The Herald. were
placed in a lead pipe, which was her
metically sealed. which was placed at
the bottom of the hole in which the
flagstaff was put.
In future the flag should float from
the Flagstaff on En- sNyn Peak on such
days as the Fourth Of July, the
Twenty-fourth of July, Washington's
birthday. Memorial day and the like.
And when time shall have destroyed
the present Flagstaff. another should be
put in its place. Henceforth Ensign
Peak should never be without a flag
staff upon it.

there must be imports. and that means
that money. or its equivalent, must be

Those who believe in free silver viii
never believe there can be any substan-
tial or permanent improvement until
silver is restored to its proper place in
our monetary system. All else is mere
nakeshift.
The worst charge the senator brings
against the bill is that in which ne
declares it was prepared in the interest
and largely at the dictation of the
trusts and the monopolies of the Unit
ed States. That's a most serious mat
ter. 1t simply means that the taxing
power of the government is prostituted
TO the use and benefits of the moneyed
interests: it means that the people are
considered. by the congress of the
United States, the legitimate prey of
those whose whole aim in life is money.
and who stop at nothing to procure it.
1t means that this government is fast
becoming honeycombed with corrup-
ton; and if it continues. and there is
no reform, the day will come when an
other Jugurtha may arise and say: "A

JUMPED FROM THE MASCOT.
Samuel F. Candby, of Vancouver
Suicides.

Vancouver, Wash, July 24.-Major
Samuel F. Candy of this city, today
committed suicide by jumping from the
steamer Mascot, which was about to
sail for Portland. Ore.
Major Candy was manager of the
Vancouver, Kilckitat q Yakima rail-
road now in the hands of Is receiver.
He was a native of Wilmington, Del,
where he leaves a wife and seven grown
children. During the war he served as
a lieutenant in the Fourth United
States artillery, and was breveted ma
jor for gallantry in action.
He resigned from the army in 1858.
1t is supposed that he became sud
denly demented. as he was great
sufferer from nervous troubles. No
other reason can be assigned for the
deed.
