GOVERNOR OR MAYOR

Interviewed on the decision of the
supreme court of Michigan which said
that he could not hold the office of
governor of the state and mayor of
Detroit at the same time, and asked
which office he would consider the
most important of the two, Mayor
Pingree answered:
There are more millions involved in
Detroit, and 1 should much prefer to
remain mayor and complete the work
that the people elected me to do there,
but 1 cannot say now what 1 will do,
until 1 get the official announcement
of the decision
At first that might appear to be a
rather strange choice, but it is after
all the choice of man who really de-
sires to serve his constituents to the
best advantage. The duties of mayor
of a large city Detroit may be con-
sidered a large city, having popula-
ton of about 30O,000) are more arduous
than those of the governor of a state,
unless it be in extraordinary times, as
during the rebellion when the great
war governors arose. To be the sue
cessful mayor of big city requires
more executive ability than to be the
successful governor of a state. There
is more detail work to be done; there
is more to try a mans patience. The
mayor comes in contact with the peo-
pie more closely than a governor does.
That which made Mr.. Cleveland gov
ernor of New York was the fact that
he had made such a successful mayor
of Buffalo. Likewise it was his sue
cess as governor of New York that
made him president of the United
States. If Mayor Pingree is compelled
to surrender one or other Offices he now
holds and elects to retain that OF
mayor of Detroit, he will. choose the
one that will demand the greater
amount of work from him and which
has far less glamour about it. If he
does this it will go far to establish his
claim to recognition as great man.

TO DISCOURAGE EDUCATION.

Nothing in the new tariff bill has so
shocked the better sense of the coun-
try than the fact that it is proposed
to put heavy duty on all works Of
art and all books, maps, philosophical
ir struments and the like imported for
colleges, libraries and like public or
semi-public institutions. An cutlery is
going up against this from various
parts of the country. even papers that
are strong supporters of the bill gen
orally raising it. Thus the Chicago
Times-Herald, a strong Mckinley pa
per, says:
The attention of scholars and edu-
Gators through the country is being di-
rected to certain important omissions
in the free list of the new tariff bill.
Under all previous tariffs, including
the Mckinley act, books, maps, music,
lithographic prints and charts, spec
tally imported, not more than two
ccpies in any one invoice, for the use
of any society incorporated or estab-
lished for educa tional, philosophical,
literary or religious purposes, or for
the encouragement of the fine arts, or
for the use of any college, academy,
school or seminary of learning in the
nlIoQ States, anu pullOSOpA4iSdi
and scientific apparatus, statuary and
drawings, as well as regalia, gems,
statues and specimens of sculpture,
imported in good faith for the same
purpose or for the encourag cement of
art were free of duty, subject to such
regulations as the secretary of the
treasury might prescribe.
These are now taken from the free
list and placed upon the dutiable list
The Times Herald understands why
this was DONE but the ground is not
satisfactory. 1t is claimed that the
provisions of the free list have been
used as a cover for fraudulent import
atoms for private use as well as for
the use of educational Institutions.
OF course there may be people of re-
finement, education and culture, the
classes who alone want such things,
who would perjure themselves to save
a few dollars of customs duty and
swear that they were making importa-
tons for educational or similar insti-
tutions, when they really intended
them for themselves, but we cannot
Believe they are very numerous. We do
not think that Uncle Sam has lost
much by such perjury, or that the reg
ular importers, who have to pay the
duties, have suffered from it. q

was, no doubt, that he was attending
to the amenities of social life in gay
Paris instead of to the duties of his
Office. Consuls are commercial agents
primarily and they should be chosen for
their fitness in this regard. And when
they are chosen and have proven them
selves competent, they should be re-
tanned in their positions and not re-
moved because of change of admin
istration. The best interests of the
country demand that they be kept in
their places. Very few men can ac-
quire a knowledge of the language of
a country in less than a year or two,
while to become acquainted with the
customs and manners of a people and
familiar with their business ways and
habits SO as to be able TO bring about
trade relations between this and other
countries, requires more than a year
or two. The consular service of the
government is the one thing that
should not be regarded as spoils.

UTAH CLIMATE.

The Denver Times says there is moth
ing which sells so well as climate. 1t is
perpetually marketable, if it is market
able at all, it declares. 1t goes into a
rhapsody over Colorado's climate, con-
Guiding with these words:
Offering climate, as Colorado can
offer it, is even better than serving
good dishes in a restaurant. 1t in
creases the patronage, but leaves the
climate still unconsumed. With such
an atmosphere as that of Colorado, it
is necessary to secure the climate pur-
chasers but for an hour, a day, a week,
a season, a year-they will then either
remain perpetually or they will return
as inevitably after brief absence as
man is supposed to go back to heaven
when he dies. Get Colorado climate
into the market
Colorado has very nice climate and
the people of that state are we'll salts
fled with it, but we in Utah think we
can beat our friends on climate. Every
inducement that Colorado offers is Of
fered by Utah in greater perfection

the state do all in his power to get
Utah climate onto the market.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

William Lawrence, president OF the
National Wool Growers association,
has been giving his views on the wool
schedule of the Dingley bill. He doesn't
like it at ALL He says its duties are
amply protective for wool manufac-
turers, but so low as to be ruinous to
our American wool industry.
Lawrence is the Oliver Twist of the
wool growers; he can never get enough
tariff on wool. He is a political wool
grower, far more interested in raising
tariffs than in raising sheep. He sagely
says that 1.-The heavy decline in the
worlds price OF wool since 1890 re-
quires more protection now than then;
conditions have changed" He will
hardly claim that the heavy decline
in the worlds price of WOOL is owing
to the placing of wool on the free list
in the United States. He admits that
conditions have changed They have,
but he wants protection against the
change. The wool men and the wooden
manufacturers couldn't come to any
agreement among themselves as to
what the terms of the wool schedule
should be; but while they fell out, just
men did not get their dues: they sim
ply got the old Mckinley rates. Yet
the president of the National Wool
Growers association says the effects
of that tariff now, so far as wool is
concerned, will be ruinous. There is
some reason in the assertion, for expe-
rience proved that the Mckinley law
had the effect to run the price of wool
down all the while.
The wooden manufacturers cannot be
ignored in this matter of the rates on
wool for they are primarily the con-
SumerS of it. Curtail their market to
purchase in and you curtail their de-
mand for wool; they will use as little
as possible, not as much as possible. So
those who urge a high or prohibitive
duty on wool neglect to consider the
interests of the wooden manufacturer

MARY.

I sing a fair of beautyyrare
And grace that is bewitching,
Whose soft blue eyes convey a prize
The richest life enriching.
Love was good, in happy mood,
And of his charms not chary,
In one big lump them all to dump
And give them all to Mary
The silken hair beyond compare,
The warm, red cheek of beauty,
And lips that dip in honey sip,
A sweet reward for duty.
A smile that e'er does welcome bear,
O Cupid was d rare he
To take the jewels that make men fools
And give them all to Nary
when 1 see her light and free
Along the street advancing,
1t fills my heart with pleasant dart
To catch her smiling glancingl
Her merry voice is sure my choice,
Her footsteps light and airy,
My heart beats quick with fancies thick
Whenever meet Mary.
This dainty miss, so sweet to kiss,
Was born for Loves own glory,
To be enshrined in heart and mind
And live in song and story.
She's three years old, SO 1 am told,
A cunning little fairy.
And of my heart she has a part,
My little sweetheart Mary!

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Mail and Express: An Illinois company
is going into the cat business for fur
ana expects to raise 100000 of the animals
within the next year. with reasonable
diligence this new infant industry ought
to be able to scratch its way along with
out serious difficulty.
Chicago Record: But are the opponents
of department stores correct in attribut-
ing the business depression and the num-
Der of stores and business rooms now
vacant to the department stores? II
must be remembered we have had the
department store for many years, and
that until a few years ago this city and
the country in general enjoyed uneX-
ampled prosperity. Politicians are not
vet of one mind whether 1T is the cur
rency or the tariff or something else that
is the cause of the depression of business
which has now lasted so long, but no
ascribed this depression to department
stores.
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat A Brooklyn
paper charges the American people with
having driven Bret Harte, Mark Twain
and Henry James into exile. If these
gentlemen will state the extent to which
this country has compensated their au-
thorship the indictment will probably be
allowed to drop.
New York Times: 1t is shocking, rather
than really surprising. TO find on the
editorial page of a Boston paper a de-
Tense of prizefighting which. if not at all
effective, is at least ingenious enough
to prove what sincere interest the writer
took in this subject. A not inconse-
quential part of such flames as Boston
has won in recent years was due to the
pugilistic triumphs of one of her sons.
and it would be indeed ungrateful in her
residents if they should either feel or
pretend an unqualified contempt for the
men who, by promising TO mutilate each
other, are now bringing distinction upon
other communities.
Kansas City Star: Those senators who
think that the dignity of the upper house
of congress has suffered from the course
of ex-senator Ingalls, in reporting a prize
fight. evidently do not hold the same
opinion of the senator that the general
public does.
Chicago Dispatch: After all, thousands
of persons now know that John James
Ingalls, was once president pro tempore
of the American senate who had not
heard of the honorable gentleman six
months ago.
