With the bloom and beauty Of the sea-
son. Its balmy airs and delightful temper
allure. We feel like living with new life.
and are therefore often very careless in
taking care of ourselves. 1t Is this forget
fulness that lays us liable to attacks OF
rheumatism, the more liable because we
think there is little danger Of it's coming
on. but rheumatism Is an easy thing to
take and sometimes a hard thing to get
rid of unless we take the advice Of others
and learn that the best way possible is
to use St. Jacobs Oil. 1t has been used
so long as a sure cure that this advice
is given in good faith from the testimony
of thousands.

IN THE INTEREST OF UTAH.

Utah has q great many undeveloped
resources. a great deal of dormant
wealth and energy. The encouragement
given to the people to use this wealth,
to exercise this energy in the develop
ment of those resources, is certainly not
the best. The financial conditions are
very uncavorable, while the prospect
for immediate relief is gloomy in
deed.
But therein lies the necessity for re-
doubled action, for intelligent co-opera-
ton, for judicious procedure. for deter
mined and persistent effort. Since the
nation win not. the state must. The
general election returns have empha-
sized this fact. The people of Utah are
obliged to stand together, not alone Tor
silver, but for the business interests of
the state.
1t is the policy Of The Herald te aid,
encourage and advertise the various
industries ana resources of Utah. 1t is
a duty ard pleasure TO do this.
Trade conditions are such that every
one interested in the welfare Of the
community. in the growth of the city,
in the upbUilding of the state, viii be
willing to put a shoulder to the wheel
of commercial progress. Now is time
when good words should be spoken,
when evil report should not be coun-
tenanced, when petty spite should die,
and local strife should ceast. It is the
beginning Of a better era, if people viii
only SO to work in the right way to
encourage those who build uD, and To
discourage those who tear down.

CURRENCY REFORM COMING.

Unusual activity among the bankers
and bond buyers of the east. seems to
indicate that elaborate preparations are
being made to nail the American flag
to the single monetary standard.
The Overstreet bill, the Hill Fowler
bill, and the AcCleary bill are all under
discussion, and an agreement will
doubtless be reached before it is advis-
able to present the measure to congress.
These bills are in substance the same,
differing only in minor details. They
all provide for the retirement of gov
eminent paper currency, the with
drawal of all competition to the exclu-
sive issuance by the banks of paper
money, the destruction of silver as a.
legal tender, and the maintenance of
the single gold standard. AS this is
President McKinleys pet policy there
is little doubt that an extra session will
be called in March for the express pur-
pose of passing such a bill.
Chairman H. H Hanna of the ma
tional gold standard league, is visiting
influential senators and Republican
leaders of the next house in the inter-
est Of the scheme. The Republican
national committeeman from Wiscon-
sin, II. c. Payne has been seen, and
his services have been secured. Mr..
Payne says that Mr.. Hanna, is going
around the country to get the con-
gressmen in line.
There is no doubt" he says, that
steps will be taken TO bring about cur
rency reform, and it is expected that a
special session of congress, to open on
March 4 next, will he held The cur
rency bill viii be included in the call, in
all probability The plan is to take up
what is known as the 0IcCleary bill.
1t is intended also to keep up the work
in behalf Of sound money through the
league organization"
There was a meeting of the executive
committee Of the gold league held in
New York this week. Congressman
Fowler of New Jersey attended and
gave his opinion that it would be good
policy to let the currency reform bill
remain without action at the coming
short session, for the reason that it
cannot be gotten through the senate,
and that to debate it in the house would
develop anagonisnls in the Republican
party that would weaken whatever cur
rency measure may be brought up in
the next congress.
1t was also the opinion of those pres
ent, according to a Republican report
of the meeting, that the president
should be urged to call an extra session
of the new congress to convene in the
spring for the enactment of the gold
standard into a statute law, and by the
adoption of legislation for the credit
currency Of the country"

of flesh. The breast of the American
public has been barred. 1t is time for a

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS.

These are the days Of the falling
leaf, the saddest of the year." Not
all November days are melancholy, but
these are drear and cherries. The
rain has washed the autumn tints from
the landscape; the sky is dull and
gray; the nights are full of gloom.
Millions upon millions of sere and
yellow leaves have fallen before the
fierce attacks of vandal winds. The
streets are strewn with the trophies
of time. Like blasted hopes, like scat
tered purposes, they lie about, the tears
of nature falling on them as the year
grows old.
Clear autumn days are full of cheer;
but there is nothing more dismal than
the cold drizzle of winter bringing
weather; no desolation like the short
daylight and the early dark; nothing
more sombre than cloudy day in late
November, after the glory of summer
is gone and the colors Of fall are faded.
It must have been at such time
that the poet wrote of the melancholy
days. There is no frost on the pump
kin" in such weather, and the fodder
in the shock is too clammy to excite
poetic comment now.

The Kind That Go To Heaven.

Over on Capitol hill there's a Sun
day school where a young man 1 know
is superintendent. He is an earnest,
conscientious young fellow, and dis
agreeable as it may sound in me to say
it, he means well. Sunday before last
he arose to give a little talk.
Dear children" said he, ST am very
glad to be with you this morning. and
when / look into your happy faces I
am sure that all Of you rejoice with
me in the privilege of gathering to-
gether this morning to sing our songs
of praise and to listen to the lessons
your dear teachers"-but then YOU
know what he said. You know what
they always say-Heaven bless them
for saying it, tool Anyway, this par
ticular superintendent said that this
beautiful Sabbath was only promise
of the blissful hereafter, of the happy
land to which we all want to 60"
!. And what is the happy land?" he
asked. The small boys on the front
seat kicked each other surreptitiously
and yiciously, but nobody spoke till
little George said, with tone mid
way between a snuff and a gurgle:
"Heavenr'
"Ah, that's it! that's itr' said the
superintendent. Little George knew
it. 1t is heaven. And we all want to
go there. And now, children, can you
tell me what kind of little boys go
there2'
George was emboldened by praise.
His head was dizzy with success. He
rose in his place.
Dead ones he bawled.

AN uNLUCKY FRIDAY.

The dailies yesterday were full of ac-
counts of crimes and casualties. The
railroad wrecks furnished the most
victims, although the sinking of
British ship, off Alsea bay, carried
twenty-four seamen to their doom.
Twelve workmen were ground to
pieces under the wheels of an express
train near Jersey City. AS many more
were injured. Twenty-Five men were
killed or seriously wounded near Will
ton, Ia, in two wrecks on the Rock
Island. One was a head-end collision,
and the other took place while the
wreclzing crew was at work. Near
Colorado Springs passenger and
freight train collided, and two men
were badly hurt. On the Santa Fe &
Phoenix freight was ditched and
several of the crew killed or crippled.
Friday was bad day on the rails.
And, with one or two exceptions, the
forty-four victims We're employees
tracl1men or trainmen-on the lines
where the casualties occurred.

OLD NOVELS AND NEW.
London SDectator.)

Qondon SPECTATOR
In all the novels of the past,
TINS or that cassie friend,
Heroes and heroineS find at last
Their Eden at the end:
Their luck may fail at first, yet no,
You never feel detected,
But certain that the sorriest throw
BY Art will be corrected.
You feel a confidence assured,
Despite her mild alarms,
That Orville soon would be allured
By EVelinas charms;
Y GU knew Miss AuStenS fertile brain
A method would discover
By which Anne Ellitt might regain
Her banished sailor lover.
But now, egad! the hero wins
The heroine halfway through,
And on the following page begins
His triumph to undo;
BY quick degrees their fortunes fall
To some malign conclusion,
And so eventuate9 after all.
In positive confusion.
For either Angelina, tired
OF Edwin's faithful heart,
And by some newer passion fired,
Upsets the apple cart;
Or Edwin, who had seemed a saint,
To swell the general sadness
Develops an ancestral faint
OF drunkenness or madness.
Or worse, in this outspoken age
My modern novel comes,
EXhaling from each 2rueSome page
The SAVIOR of the Sums;
Where Bills and Arriets nag and shout
Or deal in matters fistic,
And furious oaths are strewn about
To make it realistic.
Then, since know that life itself
Has grlmness and to spare,
l take ''Pendennis from he shelf
And find my solace there;
Or in the lists with Ivanhoe
l feel my blood a-tingle,
Or else from stage to stage 1 go
With Pickwick and with Jingle.
Oh, We who sell such dismal wares,
Let be, good sirs, let be:
Are there not sunliC sweet parterreS
Whereof you hold the key;
Where one may for a space Derchance,
Forget his world disorder.
And pluck bright blossoms of romance
From each enchanted border?

PROSPERITY IS PAST DUE.

No real, lasting prosperity can come
under the existing financial system
The tariff cannot bring it. The present
schedule is arranged on discriminating
lines. It is of no particular benefit to
the west. It is an acknowledged fail

quires the continuance of the war

neople pay without realizing they are
doing so.
But the recent war must have put a
great many hundreds of thousands of
dollars into circulation in one way or
another. This money viii surely slim

extent this ought to bring a little bet
