CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAP.

1t appears that the tea importers of
New York have imported a great
amount of tea of the first crop in antic-
ipatlon of the imposition of a duty of
10 cents a pound upon it. This tea is
of a much better quality than the sec
ond crop. and is far more expensive.
Now that it has been decided that there
is to be no duty. the poorer tea is com
ing in. and the importers fear that they
are going TO lose heavily on their ven
ture.
If their tea is of good quality, they
should have no difficulty in selling it.
and probably will not. But even if they
lose on their venture. they are entitled
to no sympathy whatever. Their in
tention was to bring the tea in free of
duty and then. when the tariff bill be-
came a law, raise the price of their
free-imported tea the amount of the
duty, and make a very handsome
profit. 1t was a perfectly proper and
legitimate transaction. and no one has
any right to complain, even had the
duty been imposed, but these are i'm
porters are not entitled to any sym
pathy whatever, even if they sustain
a positive loss. They have merely been
caught in the trap they had set for
others. The others are caught in it al
most every day; change in victims
is pleasant.

FOR FASTER MAILS.

At the session of the Trans Missis-
sippi congress today a resolution, which
was introduced day or so ago. asking
that a faster transcontinental mail
service be instituted, will come up for
consideration. The resolution is one
which should be adopted unanimously,
and probably will be. The east no less
than the west is deeply interested in
the quickest possible transmission of
mails across the continent, and if in
the journey from New York to San
Francisco, and vice versa, a saving of
six or eight hours or more can be made,
it will mean much TO the business, as
well as other, interests of the country.
The congress can do much by passing
a resolution to accomplish this highly
desirable object.
And while the congress is considering
the matter it might pass a supple
mentary resolution urging the govern
ment to see that mail trains arrive on
time in accordance with existing
schedules.

MODEL FARMS.

1t is probable that beet sugar fac
tory Will be established at Gunnison.
Sanpete county, its establishment
seemingly only being dependent upon
the willingness of the farmers Of San
Dete and Sewer counties to enter into
contracts TO supply the bects: this they
will certainly do. unless they are blind
to their own best interests.
Mr.. c. c. Aiadsen, of Gunnison. has
addressed an open letter. through the
Mount Pleasant Pyramid. TO the farm
ers CT SanDete and Sewer counties. set
ting forth the advantages to them OF
the establishment CT sugar factory.
The arguments set forth by him should
appeal to them. and doubtless viii. IN
the course OF this letter. Mr. Madsen
SAYS:
It is also likely that model sugar
beet farms will be established in the
district where the farmers. in respect
to beet raising. can obtain information
ard see for themselves how TO raise
the beet, OF highest quality. both in
purity and in sugar percentage
Such farms are almost essential at
first where the farmers undertake to
raise sugar beets, and it is only by fol-
lowing the instructions Of those skilled
in the raising of the beets that they
can hope to succeed.
This proposed establishment of model
sugar beet farms suggests the idea that
it would be a very good thing to have
in each county where many are en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits model
farms for the instruction of farmers
in general. Much of the farming in the
state is conducted in a haphazard,
happy o-lucky manner; the crops are
put in, after a manner. and the Lord
IS expected TO do the rest. If the same
care and attention were given to ordi-
nary farming in the state that are
given to sugar beet farming, the re-
turns to the farmer would be double
or treble what they are today The
sugar factory at Lehi has not only
been a great thing OF itself for Utah
county and the state generally. but it
has been of inestimable value in teach |
ing the farmers who have engaged in
the raising of sugar beets thoroughness.
That is what is needed in all branches !
Of farming; and whenever all who are
engaged in it realize this, farming will |
not be a depressed or decried indus
try. What is needed in farming is in
and not extensiveness. The |
of some model sugar beet |
farms would be an excellent thing.

STORIES OF MEN.

Many stories have been told to illus

which Queen Victoria has always made of
her pardoning power.
On one occasion. says a writer for the
Chicago Inter-Ocean, she was called upon
to sign death warrant-that of a man
who had been condemned to death by
court martial. The paper was presented
by the Iron Duke" Wellington.

HOW an Indian Died.

A resident of Little Rock, who passed
through the territory of the Chickasaw
Nation recently. tells through the Wash
ington Post OF the execution of a young
Indian for violation of the laws of his
tribe. Among the Chickasaws stealing is
punishable by DEATH and ii seems that
this young buck had been thrice convicted
of larceny. The chief OF the tribe. who
alone could save him, refused a pardon,
and there was nothing to do but carry out
the sentence. The condemned man was
placed IN a wagon and driven TO a grave
yard just east of the little village. where
ne had been tried. He descended from the
wagon and with stoical dsmeanor walked
10 where his grave had been freshly dug
and surveyed il with apparent uneoncern.
Then he knelt and prayed with preacher
who had known MIN from hoyhood. Aris-
ing, he walked firmly 20 the head of his
grave. where he took his seat upon a
large stone. facing death with courage
that seemed sublime. After saying a few
words in which he advised all young men
OF ms race 10 take warning and lead hon
est lives, he was biindfoidsd and a second
later the sharp report of dozen Win
chesters rang out, and his earthly exist
ence was ended.

Kansas City Star: During the recent
naval reveiw at Spithead the White Star
liner Teutonic was transformed from a
merchantmen into an armed cruiser
within the brief period of 40 hours. In
that space of time Is guns were placed
in position on her decks and 1900 tons
of coal were shipped. This was a wonder
full achievement and revealed the marvel
Gus naval resources of the British en-
pire. But with the Anticipated and in
efficient maritime laws and the absurd
economic policy in force in this country
such thing will never be possible of
achievement here. The building of mer-
chant ships of the type of the Teutonic
is q lost art in the United States and with
the proposed restrictions on trade which
the new tariff law will entail it is not
likely to be recovered.

The New York Tribune thinks there
ought to be no doubt that when an
agreement has been reached in con-
ference upon the tariff it will be found
to include suitable provisions for the
free Importation of books and works of
art-by which we mean provisions at
least as liberal as those contained in
the Mckinley act. Moreover, it says,
the record of the two houses of con-
gress thus far with reference TO this
matter affords a reasonable hope that
such win be the case. It will be remem-
bered that the Dingley bill as originally
introduced put a tax upon books. en-
cravings, maps, charts, scientific ap-
paratus, etc, whether imported for sale
or for purposes of exli bition and in
struction, and that such exemptions as
were subsequently made in behalf of
educational institutions We're neither
sufficiently liberal nor sufficiently clear.
This defect was especially obvious in
the provision which contained the con-
ditional clause, such as are not made
or published in the United States
These concessions, however, which were
made in response TO a strong protest
and appeal emanating largely from
educational institutions, were at first
gratefully welcomed. but the unsatis-
factory character of the amendments
was soon discovered, and the opposition
was renewed after the bill was sent to
the senate The effect was seen, when
the bill was reported from the finance
committee, in the amendments resSor
