The present regent from Bear Lake
was there, in June last, six days
and his expense biz was $4,000.
Where was the ''strict economy"
he boasts Of?
The Post says Mrs. Whitman
hadn't sent in her answers vet.
Perhaps it was because she stood,
while regent, just where the pres
emit member from here stands, and
her answers wouldn't have helped
the Post any.
TO conclude the EXAMINER has
never intended to convey. the idea
that the boards have allowed these
things knowingly, but they have
come about by too implicit conf
dence in other peoples word.
Then, too, a regent cannot be
guided from personal observation,
except, possibly, those in Moscow,
but he must be governed largely by
the records and what he can learn
from various sources. We sought
information and advice from every
source at our command before going
to Moscow. About the university
and its work, though not of III
management, we sought advice
from Mr.. Hoff and Mrs. Whitman
at various times, knowing our igno
rance of university affairs. As al
individual we are apt to ere, and i
the success or failure of the univer
sity depended wholly on our judg
ment we would refuse the response
bility, lest the institution woulC
suffer. But there is on the boart
men and women whose judgment
we are willing to follow and hay,
followed, and while we haven't sa
still and looked wise ''like a skunk,
our actions and words have no
been the means of forming am
opinions for anyone else on tho
board. They formed their owl
conclusions, we formed ours.

Thai 70 majority that Bulge got
over Harris last fall, rankles like
an old sore in the Posts bosom.
1t can't get over it, as is shown by
its periodical tbrusts at the latter
named person. Those memories
OF a young man, who came to the
county four years ago, as the Post
has often alleged sin n box car"
should get out and run against
man for office who has lived
half of his IS years here in Bear
Lake county, who is the venerable
head of the Latter Day Saint
church in this stake, who is the
most prominent and influential
members of that church in Idaho,
who has been prominently men
toned in connection with the
United States senate, yes, all this
and more; we say, to recall that he
only squeezed into the state senate
under all these favorable conditions
by 72 votes, out of over 2O0O, is
calculated to burst the skin afresh
in not only the old sore, but in
many new places. But the editor
of the EXAMINER can't help what's
past, and we ask, why are We to
be continually gored, like the Post
did last week, by the awaking of
these sac memories? "Let the
dead past" etc., and allow us to
go along our way in peace.

Electricity In the Philippines.

Mr.. L. D. Hilles Of Yokohama, while
in New York, and in conversation
with a representative of the Electrical
Review gave a number of interesting
facts about the Philippines.
"Those islands should by all means
remain in the possession Of the United
States" said Mr.. Hilles. Their COM
mercial possibilities and native re-
sources are almost unbounded. The
sharpest competitors of the Americans
and the Englishmen there are the Ger
mans.
"Our firm has installed central
electric lighting station in Manila,
which supplies current for $4,000 in
candescent and 260 arc lights. The
machinery is Of American manufac-
ture. I am now making large pur-
chases Of American steam and electri-
cal apparatus to be installed in the far
East, a part Of which goes to Manila.
There are about 720 miles of tele-
graph in the islands and only seventy
miles of steam railway. Manila has a
telephone system equipped with Eng
lish instruments. All electrical con-
ductors are carried on overhead pole
lines with porcelain insulators. There
is also horse railway in Manila which
would have been changed over to a
trolley road had not the war occurred.
The concession for this road has al
ready been acquired. There is a won-'
derful chance for Americans in many
industrial undertakings In the Phil
ippines, and I hope our government
will hang on to them"

A Quaint Bit of Flattery.

A very great military authority said:
"There are no bad regiments, but only
bad colonels." There is abundant proof
that Napoleon's belief Is shared by the
rank and file Of soldiers, but this fact
could not be more happily illustrated
than by the following story, taken from
the London Illustrated News, of q
quaint compliment paid to the German
crown prince, afterward Emperor Fred
erick:
After the battles of Weissenburg and
Worth, which he had won, the crown
prince was sauntering alone one even
ing past barn occupied by party OF
thing ii stump oratory going on, the
prince opened the door and looked in.
Every one rose.
"Oh, sit down! I'm sorry to disturb.
dare say there's room for me to do the,
same" said the prince. Pray, who
was making speech?"
All eyes were turned on a sergeant,
whose very intelligent countenance
looked, however, sorely puzzled when
the commander-in-chief asked:
"And what were you talking aboutf'
Quickly recovering his presence Of
mind, the sergeant confessed:
"Well, of course, we were talking OF
our victories, and was just explain
ing to these young men how, four
years ago, If we had had you to lead
us, we would have made short work Of
those confounded PI ussians!"

Perhaps the most foolhardy Feat on
record was that Of FIR :nch cabinet
maker named Paul Parmentier, who
while drinking In wine shop in the
Rue Kellar, in Paris, short time ago.
offered to lay wager of ave francs
that he would Jump out Of fourth
floor window without hurting himself.
Treating the offer as a joke Ills COM
rades accepted the bet, but were horr4-
fed when ParmentIer rushed into the
road, and, climbing up four flights OF
stairs to his own room, threw himself
into the street. He was picked up with

undertaken to shave man In the
lions den. The event duly came or.
The building was crowded to excess,
and the barber, attired in all his ton
sorial habiliments, completed his task,
amid the most profound excitement.
Another extraordinary feat was that
performed by a Vienna shoemaker not

ture, we may mention the performance

From time to time he was feed by
a friend who poured down his throat

wine A jury of eight musicians
took 1t in turns to watch the perfor-
nance. So far from being exhausted
at the end OF these extraordinary pro-
ceedings, Signor Gravagni offered to
make further bet that he would keep
on for another six hours, but there
were no takers.

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
Some Of the Many Peculiarities Of the
Mongolisn Race.

Some Of the Many Peculiarities OF the
Mongolian Race.
The spirit of economy In the Chinese
race transcends all that can be imag-
ined. The smallest particle Of matter
is utilized. The old cast-off account
book Of the merchant is cut into pieces
and oiled to serve instead Of glass In
windows or lanterns.
A coolie who has six hours march
withSa heavy burden will return to his
point Of departure without having brok-
en- his fast, in order to save the two
cents his breakfast would have cost
away from home. @
Nothing is more curious than to see
them eat, although, with their famous
chopsticks, they do not perform all the
wonderful feats generally supposed.
They put their food in bowls or saucers
and with the chopsticks they raise the
pieces of meat or fish to the mouth
with sufficient grace.
Each has a bowl Of rice, which he
holds near his lips, and with the aid OF
the chopsticks he pushes the contents
into his mouth. It Is curious to see
them pick up with their chopsticks the
grains of rice that fall on the ground.
The children are taught this art from
their earliest years; nothing must be
lost, not even the smallest grain.
Europeans regard politeness as an
expression Of those qualities of the
heart which render the person who de-
sires to be Polite agreeable to those
with whom he is thrown. The Chinese
look upon the matter from an entirely
different standpoint. The same senti-
ment which accords Importance to the
preservation Of dignity regulates his
actions as regards politeness.
To determine your conduct when
Chinese offers you a present is the
most difficult thing in the world. Ger
ain things are not offered to be ac-
epted, and others may not be refused
peremptorily. In general manner,
nevertheless, one may accept, under
standing perfectly that the gift must
be returned hundredfold.-St Louis

CONSIDER THE HOG.
AN INDUSTRY WHICH DESERVES SOME
, CREDlTFOR OUR PROSPERITY

In the last Packing Year 10000. 600 Hogs

It is decidedly unfair to an industry
with which the name Of Chicago is in
separately linked and to an animal
whose rotund and bristly back bears
no small share of the burden Of west
ern economy to attribute all credit for
the country's financial salvation to the
wheat field and the corn field, says the
Chicago Daily News
No possible grouping Of figures in
respect to the yield, price and exports
of grain is more striking and impor-
tant in accounting for the great eco
nomic advance of the agricultural
classes than the statistics Of the hog
industry are. s.
1t is true that the country enjoyed
an unusually large yield Of wheat and
corn for which greatly advanced prices
were received. But consider the hogS
In the packing year, which epked
this spring, 2O,0Oo,O00 hogs passed
through western establishments and
came out in 1888 ,333,S33 1-3 pounds of
lard, pork, ribs and hams. No such
figures were ever before presented as a
result Of single years hog manufac-
ture in this country. The largest pre-
vious total was in the year 1896-97,
when 100000 hogs were packed In
the west, yielding 2,S12, 100000 pounds
Of product For the hogs packed In
the last year $175,0O0,000 was paid, an
increase Of S40,000,000 over the cost Of
the hogs packed in the preceding year.
In the last calendar year 1.453,000,000
pounds Of hog product were exported,
against 1,183, ,0O0, 900 pounds in the pre-
ceding year-last years total being the
largest ever RECORDED y And the ex-
ports so far In this calendar year have
been ahead even oflast year. The treas
ury department report for April shows
$53,SO0,000 worth Of hog products ex-
ported in the four months Of 1898,
which compares with $98,600,000 worth
of breadstuffs and $S7, 100000 worth Of
cotton. That is, the exports Of hog
products equaled "a per cent. Of the
grain and -four exports and go per cent
Of the cotton exports.
And this increased production and
sale Of hog products has gone on In
conjunction with rise in price rela-
lively as important as that which has
taken place in the wheat and corn mar
kets. King corn and king cotton and
king wheat are entitled to due praise,
but do not overlook the imperial hog
