ence club is not only indiscreet but
lacking in respect for her mother.
No mother should tolerate such
actions and most girls who indulge
in them will eventually remember
it with feelings of surprise and
shame.
Very few young men nowadays
are angels, and none who are
members of correspondence clubs
are in anywise angelic. Angelic
young men are content to form
their friendships for girls under
the supervision of the latter's
mammals.

Financial Report.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH.

To the Honorable the County Court
of Washington County, Utah.
GENTLEMEN
The following is the Financial
Report of Washington County for
the six months ending December
3Ist, 1896:
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1897-01-30

All names in the above have
been suppressed, for obvious rea-
sons. OF the young ladies who
received these precious gems, it is
not necessary to speak, except to
say they are charming girls and
that we do not believe that their
respectives mammas or themselves
would sanction such correspond
ence if they knew whatit invariably
leads to.
1t is safe to assume that the
young lady who received the letter
labeled Exhibit A" was so dis
gusted thereat, that its writer came
to the conclusion that it did not
reach her "'in the best of humer''
and did not Sound right. Hence
according to his own statement he
is looking "Out." His industry
in the search for the friend he sc
longs for is commendable, and
we wish him success. He is go
ing ABOUT it all wrong, however
and we do not think the recipient
OF his plaintive plea will care fol
any further aquaintance' AS hi,
letter might not prove sufficient tx
charm the fair one he sends his
"Discriptsiion," which is as full anc
minute as a sheriff's write-up of 6
horsethief. Ladies in search of {
"good, kind and true friend" are
respectfully referred to the tabu
lated statement of this party's
charms,to be found in Exhibit A."
The author of Exhibit B" is {
different sort of a fellow. He is
the manager Of a laundry and ap-
peals to the business inclinations
of his prospective correspondent.
A half-tone portrait Of himself on
his stationery reveals rather
looking young man who is
monumental egotist. He sends
a description of himself which
reads like an extract from country
papers obituary notice of late
lamented citizen. All will be
pleased to learn that he has cal
good habits" and that his
"charictor" is good. When hi
ceases to make an ass of himsel
by writing letters to strange girls
he will have become model O.
virture. We congratulate hin
upon his good fortune in being
able to draw fair "salery" anc
have a few hundred dollars il
| these hard times.
1t would be interesting to know
to how many different girls dupli.
Gates of these epistles had beer
written.
Her mother is a young girls
best friend. A young lady who will
send her name secretly to matri-
monial agency or to correspond

Predicts Revolution.

"Inside the next ten years this cOun-
try will see the most awful revolution
that has astounded the world of late.
That is my firm conviction, based upon
more than one visit to the United
States"
The speaker was W. Pritchard Nor
gan, liberal member of parliament for
Merthyr Tydhl, Wales, who is known
in Great Britain as the gold king, be-
cause of the magnitude Of his gold
mining properties in North Wales.
Mr.. Morgan had just arrived in New
York from a trip around the world,
having come east from San Francisco.
"There is not a thing wanting in this
country" he went on, "tO make it the
greatest and richest in the world, yet
you choose to destroy yourselves by
your internal politics and your pro
lection. You are so full of politics
that you are forever making laws
You make laws to protect this branch
Of manufacture but you don't make
any to protect the workers.
'These trusts and commissions tina
are being tried for conspiracy are IN
doubtedly lawless concerns and ys
the laws are all made for their prOteC
ton and the unfortunate consume
has to pay the piper.
