FRANKENSTElN.

Mrs. Shelley, wife of the poet. wrote
a story of student by the name OF
Frankenstein. He took an unusual in
terest in natural sciences, and was
ever delving into the occult mysteries
of psychology. He conceived the idea
of creating an exact counterpart of
man by mechanical means, to whom
the vital spark of life and the secret
of soul should be impaired. Time
and again he failed; but perseverance
is the virtue of student, and eventu-
ally his efforts We're crowned with par
tial success.
The spark of life glowed, but the
evidences of a soul were wanting.
There. was action without moral re-
straint, power without reason, force
without judgment The monster rose
and glared and walked and struck. 1t
was a huge machine which Franken-
stein had set in motion, and it gained
strength with every movement which
he showed it. But it ran over him and
Uttered up the laboratory; it defaced
the walls of the building in which it
had been made; turned upon its Gre
ator attacked his friends and rela-
tives, drove him from his home, COW
cred him with humiliation, and filed
him with remorse for having raised up
a machine to fight him.
Did John Henry Smith ever read the
story of Frankenstein?

all this fuss has been made, all the
lying kilograms sent out, all the bogus
dispatches received, all the churning up
of doubts against the integrity of this
people on the outside. We say to out
I siders: Do not worry about Utah.
There is as much intelligence. and as
much integrity here to the square inch
as the people Of any other state or ter
/ ritoTy possess, and when the present
rumpus shall be supplemented after
election by a Democratic clamor TO have
congress recall the enabling act, we beg
that our contemporaries, east and west,
will remember that if there was any
reason for the people of this territory
to desire statehood year ago that rea-
son has not been initiated against in
the slightest. There is going 90 be no
revival of polygamy; there is going to
be no return TO church rule.
When the Democrats of Utah, in 1895.
protested against the use of religious
meetings and influence for partisan pur-
poses, the Tribune said:
Now, is it not clear that what the
Democracy have done will have the di-
rect effect of keeping immigrants from
coming here? Will it not once more
fix in the minds of outsiders that this is
a political storm-center and is always
going to be? We think so.

RANGE RESTORATIVES.

The department. of agriculture has
been augmented by a. subdivision of
agrostology.
After studying this matter over care
fully the cattleman will readily perceive
that Secretary Wilson is inclined to be
friendly. In plain United States, the
intention is to conduct a series of ex-
periments in grazing range improve
ments similar to the work being done
for farmers in the agricultural colleges.
The problem of preserving the ranges
on mountain and plain from spoliation
by sheep and fire is a serious one for
the ranchman; and the restoration of
the grasses on lands where they have
been destroyed by neglect, by range de-
stroying quadrupeds, or by being over
stocked, is not only of interest to the
whole beef-eating world at large, but
to the individual stock-owners, who
form very large and fairly respect
able portion of our western population.
1T is officially estimated" says the
Mail and Express, that the carrying
capacity of the southwestern ranges
was 40 per cent less at the beginning
of 1897 than it was in 1880; that the
money value of the loss from this cause
to Texas alone has been many millions
of dollars, and that the aggregate loss
in the western states and territories has
been not less than 100000"
In other words if the natural pas
lures, the range lands west of the nine
eighth meridian, covered with as lux
uriant a growth of grass as they were
less than twenty years ago, they could
carry AN additional number of live
stock worth not less, and probably
more, than a hundred millions.
The department fixes the limit of the
period within which these ranges may
be restored, in a large measure. to their
old-time richness of forage, at three
years; and it is said that experiments
during the past year have indicated
that it may be accomplished within the
time prescribed

DEFICITS AND DlNGLEYISM.

The necessity for concealing the
faults of the Dingley tariff system has
passed.
Either that. or they have outgrown
all means of further concealment.
A tariff may be made so high that it
defeats its own purpose. The Dingley
schedule operates just so. 1t is not a
revenue-raiser. 1t is a prohibitory tar
If. 1t is running the country. 1t is
causing a deficit in the national treas
ury.
Chairman Joseph G. Cannon of the
appropriations committee. has just
made the startling announcement that
neither the Nicaraguan canal bill nor
the ship subsidy measure can be passed
at the present session of congress, be-
cause CT this deficit.
He submitted a statement estimating
the deficiency for the current fiscal
year at SIS, 900, 900, exclusive of the
S2O,O0O,O 900 to be forwarded to Spain at
once.
The national debt is increasing; the
treasury deficit is increasing; the de-
mands of the administration for ex-
travagant outlay are increasing.
Finances are going from bad TO worse
in spite of the gold standard, in spite
of the continuance of war revenue
taxes, in spite Of Mckinley prosperity,
in spite of the Dingley tariff law.
When there is no longer any need or
chance of concealment, when the wrong
outgrows its cover, the administration
leaders come out and make a clean
breast of it,

STORIES OF THE DAY.
How oliver Wendell Holmes Re-

(Pittsburg Post.)
In the literary supplement of the New
York Times Heloise Durant Rose tells
of the famous concentrations at Ok

Finally the narrative runs on: THE

fame stretched beyond the British en-

Wendell Holmes. AS the latter entered

his way thither in his 'one-horse shay

reading of Latin essay. English essay

prizes did not entirely subdue, and the
CHEEKY audience was not even able to
listen quietly to the English poem for
the Newdigate prize, founded by Sir

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

In 1895 the Democrats of Utah met
in a reconvened convention for the pur-
pose of declaring their political indie
pendence and entering a solemn protest
against ecclesiastical interference, es-
peciaIly through religious meetings,
with the actions of party conventions.
Democrats have always conceded the
rights of church leaders to take an
open part in campaigns, if they felt so
disposed, but secret work, the use Of
religious assemblies, the dictation of
authorities in the name of the church
for the purpose of aiding candidates
or parties, Utah Democrats have ever
denounced.
In 1899 hundreds of young Mormons
gathered in this city from all over the
state, representing thousands of 9th
ers who could not come, and they took
the initiative in the work of progress
sion and independence of political ac-
ton. =

reactionary methods.
Where was P. H. Lannan? With the
reactionists. He had other fish to fry
that day. It wasn't his OK that was
gored.
Where was the little senator who
attacked his enemies the other even

through the medium of the Sunday
schools. Peddling pamphlets illustrated
with his likeness and those of the
church authorities. Dragging the dead
leaders of the church out of their
graves and exhibiting them in their
cerements to audiences over the state
for partisan effect
When the announcement was made
by Judge Powers, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, in 1885,
that the state convention would re-
assemble, the Tribune called it "a
grandstand play" spoke of his red
lights" and actually defended the
right of ecclesiastics 20 take part in
the shaping of tickets and the run
ming of conventions. Just before the
reconvened convention met, the Tri-
bune said:
We beg 10 give 0OIce 10 the press OF
Ike east and the west that there is no
possible occasion for their present anX-
iety over Utah. A great hubbub has
been awakened, desperate effort has

Democratic party, to make a diversion
through which they might, possibly,
convert defeat into victory.

in the United States senate, Baker rep
resented Oregon.

Young Isaac Russell, who was wound
ed at Manila, was determined to take
part in any fighting that occurred
within his reach. Some time before the
outbreak, he concluded that the war
was over and that no more lighting
would occur so he applied for and re-
ceived his discharge. Before he got
away from the islands, however, the in
surgents began to get fractions. When
the first brush between the troops and
the natives took place, Mr.. Russell re-
entered the ranks, where he received
the wound from which he is now suf-
fering. So long as there is a chance
for scrap, the boys are not so anxious
to return home. 1t is the dull monotony
of garrison life, not the peril and ia
tigue of battle, of which the boys have
had surfeit.
