There is no better root for cows than
the parsnip. 1t has the advantage that
part of the crop may, if need be, be
wintered in the ground where it has
grown. The parsnip, unlike the beet,
makes a rich milk. 1t is equal to the
carrot in this respect, and undoubtedly,
like that root, helps to color winter
made butter. Parsnips are favorita
winter feed of Jersey and Guernsey
farmers, who by its use have been able
TO breed cows whose high butter color
has become hereditary in these breeds.

DEATH OF FRED SIMON.

The sudden death of Fred Simon by
apopleXy yesterday was a great shock
to the Salt Lake public. 1t was an
occasion for sorrow and regret far be-
yond the circle of his personal friends
and acquaintance, for there were
many who knew of him as an enter
prising business man and a public
spirited citizen, who had never spoken
TO him in their lives.
Mr.. Simon had been in Utah many
years and was well identified with the
interests of the state. He labored I'M
ceasingly to place the resources and
opportunities of the city and section
properly before the world and to this
end the chamber of commerce was or
ganized. His services in securing its
establishment and his high conception
of public duty were fittingly recognized
when he was made president of this
commercial body.
The death of such a man in the
prime of life can only he regarded as
public misfortune. AS a friend he will
be mourned, and as a citizen he will
be missed.

Salt Lake, Utah, May 10.
! To the Editor of The Herald
The remarks attributed to me by your
reporter, in your issue of the 9th inst,
seem to have caused a commotion en-
! tirely beyond their Importance.
! The reporter doubtless made an hon
! est effort to give the substance of the
| few hurried remarks which passed be-
tween us. l am not responsible for his
! differences, and there are some mac
curacies. The substance of what | said
to him. and intended to have under
stood was that l knew that the volun-
teerS had long been anxious to be re-
leased and to return home; that this
had been communicated to me in many
! ways-by letter. by cable and through
friends and relatives and by volunteers
who have been permitted to return;
that when it was sought to have them
re-enlist they refused; that under the
law and in accordance with the terms
of their enlistment, they were entitled
to their discharge at the end of hoStili-
ties with Spain; that their right and
desire to be released had been time and
again communicated to the war depart
ment; that their right had been ignored
| and the answer gwen that they would
be detained so long as it was deemed
eXpedient; that. in my opinion, these
men were unlawfully detained against
their will - virtually kidnapped - and
compelled to fight in a cruel war of
subjugation or determination; that this
treatment of the brave volunteers is a
crime for which there is no excuse or
palliation.
/ did not say to the reporter that. but
for certain reasons. ] would have begun
proceedings in habeas corpus, nor did
intend to intimate anything of the kind.
l have never believed such a proceed
ing practicable. under existing circum-
stances. l did say if such a proceeding
were instituted 1t would be watched
with interest.
Under exceptional circumstances, to
save a mother from insanity. to relieve
a stricken family. and in cases where
the soldier has been sick or seriously
wCx ded. I have been able to obtain a
few discharges. What l have said and
what l now say is that the administra-
ton. sworn to uphold the law, have no
right to ignore the lawful appeals for
discharge of the brave and devoted
men who enlisted to fight for humanity
and freedom.
Congress placed at the disposal of
the president all the men needful to
take the place of the volunteers, that
the latter might be relieved at the end
of hostilities with Spain and the ex-
piration of their term of enlistment.

THREE DECADES.

Thirty years ago yesterday the last
tie was laid, the last rail placed, ana
the last spike driven in the first trans
continental railroad in America. Two
locomotives. one from the Atlantic
slope. the other from the Pacific, moved
I'D and saluted each other in the
Oriental fashion, the wires flashed the
glad tidings from sea to sea, and the
wedding was over. Eastern ingenuity
clasped hands with western enterprise
and formed a partnership then and
there which has been a benefit to both.
What changes have come since then!
The pony express had finished It's
course thirty years ago. 1t Is proposed
now to send 5000 words minute across
the continent quicker than the active
little steeds could make a spring. Tests
have been made to show that it is pos
sible. Then the numbering stage coach
toiling up the hills and rumbling over
the ruts and rocks has given way to
the palace car. which carries its pas
sengers in state at the rate of mile a
minute, eating, sleeping, reading, en-
joying life as they go.
What a wonderful transformation
When the Union Pacific was completed
thirty years ago, a sigh of relief went
up all over the land. People were ap-
parently satisfied. So much had been
accomplishments than they had ever
deemed possible. But now the whole
country west of the Missouri river is a
woven web of steel bands crossing each
other in every direction. Telegraph and
telephone wires cover the land like
tangled skein. Lights, as bright as min
iature suns, CLEAN from every town and
city that the overland flyer dashes
through: and farms and factories mark
the path of that great enterprise that
was pushed through barren lands but
three decades ago.
1t was a great undertaking then. 1t
was a marvellous achievement But the
progress since and the changes subse-
quently wrought have been as marvel

Commenting recently upon~the propo-
sition to adopt coinage ratio of % to
1 provided Europeans would give us
their consent, The Herald replied to
the following paragraph in an ex-
change:
The Democratic party has not learned
that the ratio Of silver mined is not the
same as IL was in the days of jefferson
and Jackson. The natural ratio or the
ratio of output mas changed and with it
the market ratio.
The Herald called attention to the
fact that the ratio existing between
gold and silver in our coins of today
is about the natural ratio, or the ratio
of output; and that this natural ratio
is a great deal closer 10 16 to 1 than
it was in the days of jefferson and
