he made not the slightest objection
but trotted forward quietly, and. the
other steers, having a confident lead
er, behaved admirably. But just as
Judas reached the door of the building
he lodged again, so suddenly that the
men couldn't turn him, and escaped
as he had done before, while the herd
behind him went careering into the
killing room.
Since then Judas has been a regular
employe of the cattle yards. Every
day he leads up a herd of cattle and
every day he lodges just at the door

tlemen no end of trouble and delay

One Of the sights OF the great cattle

well as man, and Judas has risen lie

ago, while he was yet frisSy steer, and
he was Immediately purchased by ono
OF the great packing houses and driven
from the train which brought him from
his Iowa home TO distant yard.
The life of most animals at the cattle
yards Is very short--a week at the very
most. A few days after the arrival OF
Judas the ~ Of cattle which occupied
the pen'wit him was selected for kill

down a long alleyway with high fences
on each side, then up narrow chute
and into the building, For some reason
the cattle seem to know what is COM
ing, for they always object to being
driven up the chute. Judas was no ex-
ception. lie plunged madly about
among the herd and the cattlcmen had
more trouble with him than with any
other animal. At last, however, he
seemed to realize that sooner or later
he must go, and he made virtue of a
necessity, trotting quietly mp the chute,
and the other cattle followed rapidly
after him. Thus he ran until he had
just reached the door of the packing
house. Then, quick as wink, he
turned and galloped down side pas

went onward into the building.
Judas had been so very clever that the
good-natured cattlemen let him go for
that day, for genius is to be appre-
ciated in n steer as well as i'm a man.

Birth-marks which mark and

VoucHES FOR THEIR FEALTY.

I'VE favor any combination to beat
the Democrats Of Utah out of thei1
boots" Thus spake the Salt Lake Tri-
bune
1t fought the Democrats OF Utah last
campaign with every weapon that a
bulldozer and q blackmailer can com
mand. But TO no avail. The Demo
cratic party triumphed. 1t carried a
two thirds majority into the state legis-
lature.
I'VE favor any combination to beat
the Democrats of Utah out of thei1
boots" This is the secret of its favor
The Tribune is now vouching for the
Democracy of o. w. Powers and Aquila
Nebefer, and yesterday it devoted con-
siderable space to telling what they
have done for the party 1t also claimed
to be sorely distressed lest the Demo-
cratic party should be disrupted
Our neighbor's solicitude is certainly
appreciated. We know how sincere it
it. Let doubters read its motto: Amy
thing to beat the Democracy"
So. if right under that motto it lacks
up the names of those who prevented
an election, they ought to feel amply
repaid for their work. and fully COM
pensated for all the criticism they may
receive from members of the party
which elected them.

functions. under rules of law. A system
under which the minority rules the ma
ioriry without the consent of the latter
is monarchial, not democratic, and l hold
that when, if a few attempt, as in the
late senatorial contest. to force the many
to their views and to their ideas of a
qualified candidate. they do but apply
the well-known and condemned policy of
rule or ruin in civil affairs.
1t is well known that a minority how
ever insignificant, when seeking to en-
force its dictum, invariably claim that
the people are with them and that their
course, however unreasonable, is in line
with their conscience, about which they
manifest great tenderness, and, if the
Office bee is humrning nicely, this con-
science does not only make of us towards,
but cravens as well. The history of the
minority obstructionists in the last SEN
atorial contest is written and must here
after be read in every hamlet and town
in this state. 1t is painful story but it
will, in my opinion. point to the dawning
of a brighter day for Democracy in Utah,
when personal liberty will be exercised
under the restrictions of law; when
treachery shall meet rebuke; disloyalty
punishment and desertion the fate de-
served when those few or many who
strike at the vitals of party organization
by betraying party obligations must meet
the consequences of their own acts. AS

ment of my constituency on the sena-
torial contest.

EUROPEAN IDEAS.

For the benefit of a clustering poll
troon who replies to political criticism
with personal assaults, we reproduce
from the Chicago Evening Post an edi-
torial concerning the individuality, the
strength and prestige of the newspaper.
The Post says that 1T is strange that
any American newspaper man should
be deceived by the sophistical argu-
ments advanced in Europe-in France
more especially-in favor of so-called
personal or responsible journalism
1t continues: The whole is greater
than any of its parts, and the opinion
of paper is naturally more authorita-
tive and influential than the view of
any individual connected with it. The
notions of A. B. or c. D.. who happens
to be member of the editorial staff of
the Evening Post, are of no interest or
Importance to the community, but the
judgment of the paper itself is of recog-
nized weight. This judgment is more
than an expression Of the writer's
views; it not only has the sanction of
the editor and publisher, but is rightly
supposed to represent the ideas and
sentiments of the entire constituency
served by the paper. Every paper
adopts certain standard and moral
and intellectual principles. It becomes
a champion of all those who accept this
standard and these principles. It's au-
thority is measured by the Importance
in the given society of the element for
which it speaks"

EXPOSED ITS HAND.

The Storm Starter explains its mys-
FERROUS silence on the George @. Cannon
candidacy. 1t says it was afraid some
one would accuse it Of attempting to
dictate to a Democratic legislature
Now that would have been too bad.
Its modesty forbade it's saying a word.
Like the Klondi1e belle, it can blush at
viii. 1t never hesitated about making
: threats before the recent election. 1t
never exhibited the least difffdence
about telling the legislature what to do
in regard to other men and matters.
But when George Q. Cannon's candi-
dacy was announced it became sus-
piciously coy and seemingly embar-
raised
1t never threatened rising storm in
The event OF his election.
1t refused to give its Iaughable imi-
tation of an outraged community.
1t never said a word about ''Asiatic
methods" in Utah politics.
It failed utterly to denounce him as
"a church candidate" or a polygamist
Not an appeal did it make to young
Utah TO strike down the reaction
aries
And thus it revealed the utter insin-
certify of its fight last fall and winter.
Our morning contemporary has
thrown OFF the mask and revealed itself
a sham.

FORTUNES WAITING.

Cuba is land of promise. In reborn

Under free government this island
is sure to prosper. The money-making
chances there are away ahead of KIon-
dixie. And whether it is ever annexed
or not Americans are sure to reap a
rich harvest, not only in Cuba but in
Porto Rico. American capital will pre-
dominate and American ideas of gov
eminent will obtain On account of the
right hand of fellowship now existing
Americans win be welcomed by the
Cubans, and given concessions greater
than any other nation.
1t is a great sugar and tobacco coun-
try. In fact, Cuba is the largest sugar
producer in the world. Then Constan-
cha plantation near Cienfuegos pro-
duced, according to the last Cuban
census, 45,000,o0 pounds in a year With
American energy and enterprise the is
land could be made to produce 5O,O00,-
600 tons easily There would be a
heavy competition among the experts
in the production of sugar. These
lands would be scientifically cultivated
and the cane reduced by the diffusion
process.
Under present conditions Cuba grows
SO,0O0,OOO pounds of tobacco leaf. which
opens up a field for American manu-
facture. The 25.OOO,OOO cocoanuts raised
annually show the need of active and
energetic capital in cocoanut oil fac
tory. The 2O,O0O.0OO punches of bananas
now grown yearly can be more than
doubled with closer attention. Every
tropical fruit and nut abounds. On
the mountain slopes, especially in the
eastern, central and western parts are
the finest coffee lands in the world. In
1860 there were 500 plantations running
at large profit. This kept up for
eight years. when the ten years war
ruined them

ated Cuba. II requires only small cap

cone-shaped stack, find the area Of the
base by multiplying the square OF the

obtained by one-third of the height in

off five right-hand figures. The correct
ness of this viii depend somewhat on
the approximation of the stack to a
regular cone, and if the stack bulges

best way is to weigh. The experience
of weighing a few stacks Will enable
any one to judge accurately. Another
approximate rule for measuring
round stack is this: Select q place
which is as near as possible to what
the average size would be if the stack
were of uniform diameter from the
ground to the top point. Measure
around this to get the circumference.
Add four ciphers (OO0O) to the circum-
ference at the right, and divide the
whole by 3.1459 to get the diameter.
Now multiply half of the diameter by
half of the circumference, and you have
the feet of the circular area. Multiply
by. the number of feet the stack is high,
and you will have the solid or cubic
feet in the whole. Then divide by 500
to SO, according to its size and COM
pactness, which will give the number
of tons in the stack.

GIVE IT UP.
TO the Editor of The Herald:

TO the Editor of The Herald:
In a recent issue of your paper you
have an editorial upon the subject of
making the rank of admiral in our
navy.
You write that Admiral Farragut
and the officers and men under his
command received the thanks of con-
gress' for meritorious services, etc.
Now, when the enthusiasm over the
brave act of Lieutenant Hobson and
his men was at fever heat, it was pro-
posed in congress to have that body
confer The high honor of their thanks
to the lieutenant, leaving out his men,
but when some fair-minded Democrat
suggested that it would be no fair
shake" to leave the men out the matter
was dropped, for the reason, as l have
understood, that the thanks of con-
gress' carries with it certain privileges
that common men might not be able to
appreciate or expect in reason to enjoy.
The question / would be very much
pleased to have you answer for me is
this: What are the privileges conferred
upon those receiving the thanks of
congress-, and to what extent would
Admiral Farragut's officers and men he
permitted to enjoy those privileges?

PARTIES AND MEN.

Some men imagine, if they are Sc
verely criticised, that the political
party to which they belong is being
wrecked.
Such men are conceited asses.
Others claim that condemnation Of
their official acts is reading them out
Of the party
These are dense. Men cannot be read
out of political party. If they go, it
is by their own act. If they remain
they must abide by the doctrines and
principles OF that party.
Then there are those who resent crit
icisms of their official acts. They are
harmless. of course For the public
officer who holds himself above criti-
cism is never taken by others as SER
iously as he takes himself
Once in while a. politician turns up
his nose at members Of his party who
are less fortunate than himself in the
acquisition of worldly goods He is a
joke.
It takes all kinds of men to make a
party, as it does to make a world. But
no organization is going to wither away
because some of the individuals COM
posing it are censured for disregarding
its time-honored principles.
