THE HARTENsTEIN VOTE.

The canvass made by the council Of
Tuesday night developed no change in
the figures published in The Herald
and The Tribune the morning after the
election. Mr.. Hartenstein, against
whom fight bitterer than which none
WAS ever waged agaist a candidate in
Salt Lake City, nor 4 more unjust fight
was elected by plurality Of nine votes.
The smallness OF the plurality has led
10 charges of fraud which we believe
TO be groundless.
The fact that a candidate wins by
narrow margin IS by 10 means prima
facie evidence that his victory was not
fairly won. There is just as much real
reason for believing that deliberate
frauds were committed in the interest
OF Mr.. Ferry. Mr.. Hartenstein's oppo-
uent, as there is for believing they
We're committed for Hartenstein. We
40 not believe deliberate or other
frauds were committed for either can
didate,
The character and reputation @: Mr.
Ferry and Of Mr.. Hartenstein are such
that We have no hesitation in saying
that neither would accept such an
Office tainted with fraud. Hartenstein
would not go into the council under
suspicion that he was not fairly elected.
Ferry would not go IN there holding d
commission to which he was not sure
he was entitled. Ferry viii not be a

LITTLE PROBLEMS.
That Look Easy, But Take Some Fig

You can get a deal of amusement
out of these little problems" said H.
p, Chambers of Pittsburg at the Lex
ingtOn, as he abandoned an effort TO
figure out the fractional relations be-
tween three men, a barrel of potatoes
and lot OF uHgOdly onions. There is
a simple one that nearly always
catches The unwary. 1t is this: If a
bottle and cork together cost s1.10 and
the bottle costs 81 more than the cork
what does the bottle cost?' The first
impulse is to answer 81 and I have
seen good figurars make the mistake
Here is another: If A and b can do
a piece of work in a day and a half
and A and c can do it in two days
and if A can do it alone in the time
1t would take B and c to do it, how
long would il take A 10 finish the job

SPANISH RAILS BOUGHT HERE.

Some American railroad men ara
evening matters up with the Steel trust
by buying rails abroad. The trust s
little habit of laying rails down in for
eign lands more cheaply than they will
sell the same rails 10 American pur-
chasers has reacted. In the New York
Times of recent date is the story Of the
purchase of p 900 tons of rails from
the Altes HeTnes de Viscaya mills OF
Bilbao, Spain. The rails are to be
delivered at San Francisco, and there
is much speculation concerning the
buyer. II is thought by some that they
may be intended for the Western Pa
eife company.
The interesting feature of the story,
however. is not in the identity of the
purchaser, but in the fact that Ameri-
can railroad mon can buy rails in Spain
and ship them to this country more
cheaply than they can buy them here.
II is announced that. after the duty and
the freight charges have been paid. the
net cost Of the Spanish rails will be $27
per ton. They would cost SIS per ton
at the American mills.
As the duty is st per ton and the
freight IN the neighborhood Of IS, it will
he seen that the Spaniards are appar-
entity in a position 10 manufacture
steel rails as cheaply as they can be
made in the United States. 1t was
Charles NJ. Schwab, we believe. who
said that the Steel trust could sell rails
ut SIS and slill make a nice profit. The
chances are that the Americans who
are buying the Spanish rails are paying
for them about SIS or $40 ton.
The story is interesting. too. in that
it shows tx development Of a great IT.
dustry in Spain. If anybody had said
during the Spanish war that within
seven years we would be buying rails
from Spain the statement would have
been ridiculed. Spain was supposed 10
be then, indeed she was. in a mOribund
condition. Her industries were para
lyzed, she had made no progress for
many years and seemed unlikely 10
progress.
The best thing that could have hap
pened to Spain was the war with this
country, and the assertion is made with
full recollection Of the fact that the
Spanish were soundly whipped, BY
losing the war Spaiu got rid of two of
her most expensive possessions, Cuba
and the Philippine archipelago. Mel
Their the Philippines nor Cuba yielded
the Spaniards anything. Always there
was war. always expense piling upon
expense.
Now Spain is in a position TO devote
attention to development OF her home
resources. How well she is succeeding
is best illustrated by the story herewith
set forth.

who cannot see the possibilities of the

of the city were at the meeting. There
were also several from other points.
\ sojoWner from Dallas told of the
work that had been done by an associa-
lion of patriotic citizens of that thriv-

which he talked was contagious He
showed how, by concerted effort, it is
possible TO greatly increase the city

the suggestions he made will doubtless
be followed. Advertising was one of

our plain duty to let those who live
outside of Utah know something of our
possibilities. We know what we have.
The outsiders don't know. The only
way for them to learn is for US to st
the prospect before them.
Suppose we forget all about religion
and politics, suppose we all work to-

Herald doesn't care anything about
who gets the credit for building up a
greater Salt Lake. If there is any
argument on that score il can be set
tied later on when we have made the
quarreiing over places in the process

follow, but nothing should prevent any
of US from getting in and doing our

The names of the men who Monday

MARC COMES TO Y. N. C. A.
How He Fooled the EnqIish
Tourists.


Last year, while Marc, the famous
magician, who shows at The Y. NJ c. A
tomorrow night, was filing some west
eFn engagements, he found himself one
afternoon on board a small Columbia
river steamer with a number of well
KNOWN people, including the Hon. X.
Bryce Wim0tt, II. p, aud a party Of
English and Canadian tourists. 1t
chanced that one of the English trav-
elers had seen a performance of Marc
IN Paris and recognized the wizard
Marc. who usually reserves his exhibit
tons OF skill for the stage, was finally
induced 10 say he would do something
for them, and asked the English NJ p.
If he might borrow his watch. The
British tourist, While passing over the
tmepiece, said he hoped nothing would
happen to il as ii was one of Benefits
finest Chronometcrs.
Nothing will happen to il, I assure
YOU" said the magician. as he received
1t; 4 only ASK your permission TO
throw il overheard"
The idea was so preposterous that
the Englishman fancied the wizard
was joking and replied that ne had no
objection.
The words were scarcely out of his
mouth when Marc deliberately sent the
N'tiAtFAONS ny AliS tiIbQSu TIE air ana
watched the expression OF consterna-
tion on the face Of the owner as II
splashed in the water and disappeared.
The spectators were silent
The British legislator was complete
ly upset and on the verge of violent
outburst when Marc smilingly raised
his hand.
II regret that I misunderstood you.
but l fancy the rest OF those present
win testify that YOU explicitly stated
that you had no objections to my DIS
posing of the watch as I have done. Is
IL not so?" And he turned to the
others.
AS they had begun TO realize that the
magician was IN to some deep game
and would extricate himself from an
apparently awkward dilemma, three or
four OF them admitted that the owner
of tie watch had given tull permission
10 the performer.
Thank YOU" said Marc. bowling to
them, "and now as I seem to have
caused some little discomfort I will do
what / can to make amends"
Calling one of the deck hands he
asked for a salmon line and hook and
on receiving 1t moved to the side of
the vessel and began fishing. The
crowd followed him. Suddenly there
was yank on the line and a moment
later a six-pound salmon was Topping
about the deck. Marc seized the strug-
Cling fish. and called attention TO a
protuberance which was hard TO the
touch. The fish was killed by one OF
the crew and on being opened his miss
ing watch wholly uninjured was found
and returned to the mystified owner
Three months later q handsome scarf
hin was forwarded to Marc by the
English NJ. p as % eoutoifjrsof a most
remarkable experiment Ia magic"

The late Thomas B. Reed used 10 tell
the following:
congress at one time. was opening the
Sunday morning service at his church
with the usual prayer. While he was
in the midst of the prayer a stranger
entered the church and took a seat far
back.
DR., Reed was praying in a low voice,
and the man in the rear, after strain
ing his ears for a while. called out:
Pray louder, DR.. Reed; l can't hear
you"
DR.. Reed paused, opened his eyes, and
turned them round till they rested on
the man in the rear; then he said:
Il was not addressing you, sir; 1 was
speaking 10 God"
