Who Saw il First.

jim and Fred, brothers OF six and
four years OF age, were fond Of ar
gumcnts between themselves, says
the Chicago Record Herald They
were arguments that never went be-
yond the wordy stage, but on occa-
sion became somewhat heated.
They were out one day with their
nurse when they happened 70 pass
an old honsc that was a landmark in
the .ncighborhood. Instantly the
Splritoi disp'tc was aroused. Said
jim, the elder: 81 saw that house

Fred picked up the gage Of battle
promptly and replied /: "No, you
didn't; saw it before you did"
"No, you didn',," persisted jim.

Tho Boroughs.B Wedding.
Ipickens Scntincl.Journal. |

9th, in tho Pratcr's Baptist church,
uniting Norman Boggs, Of Calhoun,
and Miss Leila Boroughs, Of l'ratcr's,
was OF more than usual interest, both
from The prominence OF the families
Of the contracting couple and from
the fact that it was one OF the most
important events that has occurred
at Prater's for a number Of years,
The popularity Of the young people
brought together a large asscmblagc
of prominent people, and the church
was Il vision Of beauty. The decora-
tions in white and green were simple,
but none the less beautiful and
effective. The arch under which The
bridal party stood was formed Of
cvcrgrcens ard white chrysanthc-
NUNS. The entire decoration scheme
was at the suggestion Of Earle Sea
born and Miss Nora Scaborn, who
arc wonderfully gifted in this art.
The ushcrs were Gland lSoroughs,
Harvey Kcnncmurr, Barrie Parro,
and George Lewis
The music was rendered by Miss
Lola Garrett on the organ. The
sweet strains Of the wedding march
announced the approach Of The bridal
party. First came the sweet little
flower girls, Matte Boroughs and
Corric Kenncmurc, each carrying a
boquct of white chry santhemums.
The bridesmaids and groomsmcn
entered in couples in the right and

the bridal party entered the church
in the following order: Miss Lena

AS TO OUR LAKE.

4 \ ESTEEMED EASTERN COntem-
Il porary has an article describing
how rapidly the Great Salt lake is dry
ing UP, and explaining that within
fifty years at most, and perhaps with
in twenty-five years, the bed of this
unique body of water viii be simply a
big sand plain. burning under the rays
of the sun" We do not propose to go
into the merits of the question at all
Instead. we quote a few highly
veracious statements from this same
article. as follows:
During the last three years the an
nual drop las been one foot
Regular travellers over the Union
Pacific railroad have noticed that the
waters have receded to an appreciate

within few rods Of the tracks. Today
there is an unbroken. level, white.
salty plain to long point on the
horizon"
Within the last few years two pop
ular summer resorts have sprung up
on its shores. One is Garfield Beach,
the other Saltair."
The location along its shores of i'm
mense pavilions and modern hotels at
tests the belief that there is something
more than pastime TO be had from the
waters of TIE lake
zone would think It the simplest
matter in the world to swim there, yet
only those Of experience can do So
There are other inaccuracies. buttis
is not worth while to can attention 70
them. Salt Lakers know the lake is
higher this year tkan it was last, they
know the Union Pacific doesn't run
within many miles of the lake. that the
Garfield Beach resort was some years
ago abandoned that there are no mod
ern hotels along the shores of TIE lake
-more's the pity-and that any child
can swim there.
II we are 10 measure the value Of
the entire story by the value of the
excerpts quoted it is apparent that a
high appraisement cannot be made.

THE BATTLEsHlR coEHEcTlcUT.

IT IS GREATLY to be hoped that the
identity Of the criminal or Grim
inals who attempted to cripple or des-
troy the effectiveness of the recently
launched battIeship Connecticut, Will
be hunted down and punished. That
an American citizen could do such a
thing passes belief. The theory that
the work was done by some foreign
born anarchist with a deep seated
Srudge against authority Of any sort
is much more tenable. Happily, the
work was discovered before any great
harm had been done. That this is true
is due to the vigilance of the navy yard
officials rather than to the intent Of
tho offenders. CuriOusIy enough there
is no statute under which adequate
punishment can be meted out to the
criminals in the event Of their cap
tuIe. Such a law should, and doubt
less viii. be passed at the next session
OF congress.
The Connecticut, when finished. will
be the greatest battleship in the Amer

PASSING OF HENRY c. Payne.

THE DEATH Of Henry c.. Payne,
i postmaster general, win be deeply
mourned by his family and by his in
innate friends. 1t is said Of him that
he was a genial, cOmpanionable man
who was as true as steel to those he
counted I'm the list of his friends.
But the brutal truth Is that in the
passing Of Mr.. Payne the country al
large suffers no loss. He was not a
Statesman, he was not, generally
speaking, a useful man. Mr.. Payne
was a politician Of the stamp Of the
late Senator Quay OF Pennsylvania
one who was in politics for what he
could get out of it.
The public las not forgotten that
when the charges of fraud in the post
Office department were first made by
Seymour w. TullOch. Mr.. Payne
promptly characterized them as hot
air." He delayed any investigation as
long as he could and, when the inquiry
was finally begun, Payne did nothing
whatever TO aid it. Yet, when the
first convictions were had, the presi-
dent Immediately sent Mr.. Payne a
note of congratulation. More absurdly
misplaced Fluctuations were never
given.
In Wisconsin, the state to which his
political endeavors were for years con-
fined, Mr.. Payne was the undisputed
boss. When Governor LaFollette be-
gan his campaign for equal taxation
and for other reforms, one of his bit
terest opponents was Henry c. Payne.
IT was Payne's influence, largely, that
prevented the recognition of TIE La
Toilette delegates 10 the Republican
convention at Chicago. And he had
since been doing his best to defeat La
Toilette for reelection TO the COVER
norship.
The appointment Of Payne TO the
postmaster generalship was condemned
by independent newspapers and indie
pendent voters throughout the coun-
try. II was recognized as a concession
TO tie spoils element I'm the Republican
party, for Payne was always a spoils-
man.
We have no wish to speak unkindly
OF man who is dead. We only repeat
what was said of him in life. 1t would
be folly TO place another estimate ON
his character and his work now. for
death does not wipe out the record OF
life.

BRUCE JOHNSON, REPUsLIcAH.

HE REPUBLICANS of Weber coun-

county by Bruce Johnson. colored, pro-
prietor of the justly-celebrated Red
Onion saloon and gambling joint on
Commercial street. Salt Lake, john

tically driven out of Salt Lake by the
notoriety he achieved as the friend and
patron Of the colored prostitutes and
toughs 0f-this city. He left town, os-
tensibly never 10 return, evidently hop
ing his record would be forgotten by
decent people; and now returns to ap-
pear as the advocate of a party or
ganization led by men who might be
supposed TO have some regard for de-
oeney and morality in their advocates.
Johnson has done more to debauch
and degrade his race than any other
Individual colOred man whO ever lived
in salt Lake; his saloon is a type of
all that is tough and menacing to pub
lie order, and he himself ought 10 be

the general good.

poses TO foist upon the people a man
" Bruce JohnsoD's character and as
sociations, it might as well prepare in
advance for a political funeral TIE day
after election, His only claim to rec
ignition from the politicians hereto
fore was is his supposed ability to
round up AT the polls the lowest ele-
mcnt Of the red-Iight district. HIS
power with that element lay i'm his
supposed pun with the police and
his ability to protect" the criminal
class which looked upon him as sort
OF patron saint.
But the last city election proved
conclusively that Johnson could not
hope TO be influential either with the
criminals or The police when once the
light was turned on his methods. and
he was one of thefpotent factors in the
defeat of the Republican city ticket.

single foreign-made food or drinking a
foreign-made drink.
But that does not lessen the force
of judge Parker's statement that the
tariff makes the prices OF necessary
articles higher. II it does not. what
is the object of the tariff. If it is
true, as stated by he North American,
that We raise more than we can posi-
bly, use. what is she necessity for a
tariff? And yet if proposition should
be made to take the tariff off of food
products OF every character the Nortk
American would be among the first to
resist it. Why do American manufac-
tuners insist on a tariff? The answer
is. because it enables them to compete
with foreign manufacturers.
The foreign manufactures cannot
come here with his goods, pay the tar
iff and compete with tie home manu-
facturer. But does the American man
ufacturer sell goods as cheaply as the
foreigner would sell them IL he could
get-in? Certainly not. He fixes price
by adding to the cost Of his goods the
amount Of the tariff, less a very small
sum. That keeps the foreigner out and
gets the kone manufacturer a better
price. Who pays the price, The Amer
lean citizen. Then is not the tariff a
tax? Doesn't it take money out Of
the pockets OF men who can least af-
ford it and give 1t TO those who need
it least?
Our manufacturers, and The list in
cludes those who deal in food prod
ucts, are able to compete with others
in the markets Of the world because
they are always sure Of a profit from
their home consumers. In the final an
alysis the people are made to pay. =

CONFESSIONS AND AvoIOAMcs.

y EPLYING TO JUDGE PARKER s
II statement that the tariff burdens
the people generally, forcing them TO
ray excessive prices for food. r the
Philadelphia North American says:
As matter OF fact the articles OF
food which we do not prqduce at home
are upon the free list The tariff does
not tax them "a All. The food we grow ia
our own country IS sold an over the
world. We feed the human race from our
surplus. We do so because we produce
most largely snd sell most cheaply.. The
judge needs bat TO look into the matter
10 perceive that he has been deceived by
leaning too confidently upon Grover
Cleveland and the New York Evening
Post.
1t does not seem to US that this re-
ply is anything more than what the
lawyers would call confession and
avoidance" There arc very few neces-
sarv articles OF food that are not
grown or made in this country. It
would be possible for an American
fsmilx 10 live very well indeed through
a long span or years without eating q
