RATES OF INTEREST DECREAS
ING.

/ The annual report of President Eliot
of Harvard university, brings out some
very interesting things regarding the
| finances of that great institution of
| learning. In twenty years the invested
funds have increased from 3,406, 653 to
| $S,526,S13. while the land, buildings and
collections have multiplied to the ex-
tent of several millions more. While
there has been this increase in invested
funds there has been a very material
| decrease in the average rate of interest
on investments from 7.59 per cent to
4.73 per cent. This decrease has had
a very embarrassing effect upon the
university, as might have been ex-
pected.
But this marked decrease in the rate
of interest on Harvard investments ac-
centuates the fact that the general rate
of interest all over the country has de-
creased very much, probably as much
as in the case of Harvard investments.
Out here in the west rates of interest
have gone down until they are not ma
terially higher than in eastern cities
In small towns, and in what may be
termed isolated instances, the rates
continue high, but still not so high as
formerly. The explanation for this is
easy. Just as competition in all
branches of trade and commerce re-
duces prices, so does competition among
lenders of money reduce the rate of
interest. It is the competition of cap
ital for safe investments that has re-
the investments of Harvard Univer-
sity. This general lowering OF the rate
of interest shows how great has been
the development of the country And
as the country becomes more and more
developed the rate of interest will
gradually become lower until it reaches
the same minimum it has in the vari-
Gus European countries.

END OF THE SENATORIAL CON.
TEST.

The long contest over the election of
a United States senator has come to
an end through the election of Hon. j.
l. Rawlins. The balioting has been
going on for more than two weeks.
and the question who should be SEN
ator had become one of intense inter-
dates were Mr.. Rawlins, Hon. Moses
Thatcher and Judge H. P. Henderson.
All are Democrats of recognized emf
nent abilities and each was surrounded
by earnest and eager friends who made
a most gallant fight for him. The leg
islature elected Mr.. Rawlins to repre-
sent Utah in the United States /nate,
but had Mr.. Thatcher or Judge Hen
derson been elected either would have
represented the state with marked
ability and with entire satisfaction to
the people and the party, and the
party and the party press would have
stood solidly behind either as its
chosen leader, as they will stand be-
hind Mr.. Rawlins.
While the contest was on the party
was seemingly divided into three
camps, but the contest being over, it
will again be united and present a solid
front to its common enemy-the Re-
publican party. After so spirited a con-
test it is inevitable that there should
for a time be some disappointments,
but il is not in the nature of true
Democrats to sulk in their tents. When
the battle is on again they will all be
found fighting side by side as of yore.
The late contest for the senatorship
should not be permitted to cause even
a rift in the party ranks, much less
any division, nor do we fear that it
will.
The Herald congratulates Mr.. Raw
Inns, the people and the party upon his
election. No one within the state has
served the cause of Democracy more
faithfully or more ably than he. In
the lower house of congress as the
delegate from the territory he made
brilliant record; in the senate we look
to see him make a still more brilliant
one. He is an able and fearless cham
pion of the cause of silver, and that
cause will need such champions in the
senate in the near future. The legis-
lature of Utah has made no mistake
in the election of a United States SEN
ator

will be ready for the senate and house
to act upon. The wisdom of any ma
terial change in it may be questioned
for the reason that such a change
might cause a conflict of provisions.
No one recognizes more than the men,
bers Of the legislature themselves that
they have not the time to give the code
the thorough examination and study
1T should have before any material
change is made in it. That they have
not this time does not mean that they
should or viii blindly adopt it. When
the code has been acted upon there will
not be any great amount of work to be
done, and while the fourth week of the
session is drawing to its close, still
there is time to enact all necessary
legislation. There is no danger what
ever that the legislature will make
any extravagant or unnecessary appro-
priations. The election of a senator
having consumed so much time it e
not probable that the legislators will
be able to get through their work in
less than the regular sixty days ses-
sion, but all their work should be
completed by that time. If it is the
people will be well satisfied.

RAINBOW CHASING.

We are very much inclined to think
| the New York Commercial Advertiser
! is right when it says that the scheme
for another international monetary
conference is rainbow chasing. 1t de-
clares that nothing could better demon
strate the futility and insincerity of the
movement than the beggarly size of
the opposition to it in congress. 1t
Their proceeds to say that nobody cared
whether the Wolcott bill passed or not,
because everybody was aware that
nothing would come of it. We have
never felt that anything of real value
to the cause of silver would come of
the Wolcott scheme, though we hope
something may, and trust that the
scheme may be pushed by those who
are behind it with all their might. If
it succeeds it will be a cause for great
rejoicing by ali, but by none more than
by the silver people. If the scheme is
pushed and everything is done to make
it q success. If to do this no stone
is left unturned and it fails, then the
people of the United States viii have
had an object lesson in the futility of
trying TO bring about an international
arrangement in behalf of free coinage
Of silver that viii be Invaluable to
them. 1t will teach them that if they
really desire a restoration of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio that ex-
listed prior to 1873, they themselves
must restore it, that they must lead
and then others will follow. AS the
United States have been the pioneer
in other advances in civilization. so
they must be in this

.I WASTE MY HEART"

I waste my heart with pining for the sun,
I waste my tears with weeping for the
spring;
A deeper sorrow wastes the sterile earth,
Robb'd of her a't,uent minstrelsy and
mirth;
And still a wilder anguish hath the sea
That with the grasping wind in unison
Walls the years requiem increasingly.
Nay, let US mourn the emptiness of life
IT'S not the time for laughter or for
song,
Hush'd is the rapturous note of thrush
and lark;
A vacant murmur gath ring in the dark
Blends with the shiv'ring forests shrek
of pain,
Bemoaning summers last, inglorious
strife,
Between wild eddies of tempestuous
rain.
o sodden, ways that were so bright with
fiow'rs,
o ruin'd groves where light and shadow
met,
Lacin- the lovers paths with green and
gold,
Whose pulses-ev'n as lifes-have now
grown cold,
A bitter anguish takes my struggling
breath
To hear through all the sad, slow-beat-
ing hours,
The steady football of remorseless death.

Post tells this pleasing anecdote:

foreman of Belle Meade, has for sew
enty years been the most faithful of
servants During the war he was shot
by federal soldiers for resisting the ar
rest Of his master, General Harding.
His manners are those of a stately

Vile a few years ago they visited Belle
Meade. The horses were brought out,

The regular occupants of pulpits are
sometimes nothing but actors in dis
guise, and because they are they often
succeed in making themselves exceed
ingly popular. But occasionally an
actor by profession occupies the pulpit.
James A. Hearne did this in a Kansas
City church only last Sunday. And he
preached a very good Aermon or made
a very good talk, whichever it may be
termed. He closed his lecture Chat
is what it was technically called with
these words: II am a firm believer in
what Colonel Ingersoll calls the re-
straining influence of liberty although
1 have no faith in Colonel Ingersoll' s
sincerity. l believe that every human
being has a certain amount of God, the
divinity, within him, just as much of
God as he is capable of holding, and he
gives out lust as much of that divin-
ity as he is capable of experiencing;
and I believe that were he not bound
down by unjust laws, that if he were
free, the divinity would grow and de-
velop and propagate its species. In
other words, 1 believe that when we
free men, when we free labor, We will
free art, we will free the church and
the theatre, and not until then. l am,
as everybody who knows me, under
stands well, what is called a single
tax man, and while L have too much
judgment to infringe on good taste by
presenting my single tax doctrine here.
[ will ask the privilege of saying in
brief that we single tax men believe
that in order to elevate the minds of
men you must first free their bodies.
In order to lead their souls to realize
the benignity of God we must restore
to them the right to share Gods nat
ural blessings. The right of equality
in opportunity, the equal right to ap-
ply natural laws and natural forces to
natural opportunities, which right we
claim is now withheld from man by
men through an unjust system of in
direct taxation, which falls relatively
heaviest upon the poorest member of
society, enriching one man and i'm
poverishing another. We say abolish
that system of taxation and substitute
in its stead a direct single tax on ali
land values as fast as they are ere
ated by the community at large, and
you will equalize opportunities so that
every man will get all he is capable
of earning, no more, but no less. We
claim that this simple change will
Danish poverty, lessen vice and crime,
dignity labor, elevate mankind, chasten
art, purify the theatre and the church
and establish the true religion-the
brotherhood of man, the fatherhood of
God.
Thy will be done on earth as it is
in heaven
These are certainly the sentiments of
a Christian, though we cannot believe
that the single tax would accomplish
all that Mr.. Hearne thinks it would.

There is but one thing 10 be regret
ted in the election of a Democratic
senator to succeed Senator Arthur
Brown, and that is that in a Demo-
cratic legislature, with a majority of
ffty-six, the vote of q Republican was
necessary to the election of a senator.
Had the gentleman who stood next to
the successful candidate been elected
the result would have been the same
so far as the election by q Democratic
majority was concerned. The election
of the senator was had amid so much
excitement that it was not understood
at the time that the election was de-
cided by the vote of Republican
member ca there unquestionably would
have been changes made in the vote
before the final result was announced
that would have made it purely Dem
ocrattc election.

When the next congress meets in ex-
ira session and the new tariff bill
comes before the house for considera-
ton, all will not go merry as a mar
riage bell if a Washington special to
the st. Louis Republic may be relied
upon This special states that it is
said that Reed is scrutiniZing the
schedules of the tariff bill now in course
of construction with considerable care,
and that some of the barons who were
offensive partisans of Mckinley before
the national convention will suffer keen
disappointment when the bill is re-
ported to the house. There has been a
good deal of Kicking in the house
because Reed will not permit the con-
sideration of public building bills. 1t
develops that so per cent of the Re-
publican members interested in public
buildings were among McKinley's fol-
lowers at st. Louis. There will be war
between the speaker and the president
after the 4th of March. 1t will be war
to the knife, too, and Reed can be re-
lied upon to conduct his end of the
fight with boldness and persistency.
All this may be so but it overlooks one
very important item, one that must be
taken into consideration, which is that
if Speaker Reed is going to make war
upon the tariff bill to be introduced
into the next congress in extra session,
the president calling it for that very
purpose, Speaker Reed may be ex-
Speaker Reed in the next congress. A
new Republican congress is hardly
going to permit itself to be put in an
tagonism with a new Republican adj
ministration at the very outset.
