Spoken by the bride a short time before the
mony. Scene: her room to which she has retired
for few moments reflection to make that she is
prepared for the great occasion.
T WONDER why it is that brides are sure to
forget something their weddingd day? |
know have always heard it said that there
is never wedding at which something does not
go wrong. Either one of the bridesmaids fa1nts,
the clergyman is late, or the organ breaks
down. or something gets out of killer, although
everybody may have been thinking of nothing
else for days and days beforehand.
Il know that at Sallys wedding it was her
father that went wrong; but that was only
because he absent minded. You see, he
was one of the wardens of the church, and
usually took up the collection and SO, when he
brought Sally up to the chancel, he went right
on up toward the altar thinking, | suppose, that
he had the ofeTtOry. Everybody tried to shoe
him down, and things got all mixed up, because,
you know, he is very deaf, and the best man
could not make him hear. Actually, people

think snickering is good form at a wedding.
Then | remember another of my friends had
a mother who broke down and wept COnVul-
sively, which would have been no harm, except
that she had forgotten her handkerchief, and
trying to borrow one between her bursts of
grief. That nearly broke up the proceedings.

A SIMPLE PARABLE.

The Deseret News Is beginning its
instruction to its people to all vote one
ticket at the ensuing election, lest by
their division between the two National
parties, to which they give pretended
devotion, the American party shall over
slaugh them locally.
The church organ prints as an edi-
torial article, under the title of "Huns
and Vandals," a transparent parable in
which it throws brick at popular
government and by unmistakable init
nation tells its people how to main
tain ecclesiastical government, which, in
the estimation of the News, is far su-
perior. Talking to its devotees and
complimenting them all by calling them
"honest citizens" the News says that
if they will do their duty at the polls
they can have preventative citizens in
every office men whose sterling
worth is known and who can be relied
upon to serve the people and not them
Selves
AS the News sees this duty for "hon-
est citizens,' it has been performed in
the past; ecclesiastical government
against popular government has had its
sway. Let US see some Of the results:
The pet of the Deseret News and one
of its men of "sterling WORTH" who
can be relied upon to serve the people
and not himself, is the man Mutton
Jones, late superintendent of tho County
Infirmary, whose method of serving the
public and not himself is now mat
ter Of investigation by the courts.
Another one of these men of "sterling
WORTH is Navajo Jimmie-one James
II. Anderson, concerning whose method
of serving the people and not himself
there was much significant testimony
given in a recent trial. Some others
of the men of "sterling worth,'' who
serve the public and not themselves,
were parties so atrociously ignorant, If
not wilfully guilty, that they allowed
the State to be robbed right and left
on fraudulent bounty warrants.
In the light of recent experiences,
genuinely honest citizens may we'll con-
clude that the kind of men of ester
ling WORTH whom the Deseret News
desires to see placed in Office are really
the Huns and Vandsls whose cruel pre-
dations upon public treasures and pri-
vate rights would exactly suit the Des-
eret News so long as they pay one
tenth Of their ill-gotten gains into the
church Golfers
But irrespective of the honesty or dis.
honesty, ability or ignorance of the
particular men whom the News desires
shall be placed in public position in this
community, the purpose of that delec-
table alleged organ of the Lord is as

MONEY ITO MOVE THE CROPS,

In an article not long ago in these
columns we referred to the walls of the
New York bankers because about this
time of the year they have to send
vast amounts Of money west "to move
the crops In that article we noted
that the usual outcry was being heard
from New York, and we pointed out
that the money so sent was not New
York money at all, but was money that
the Western banks had with New York
banks, subject to call, and objecting to
the pretense that it was New York
banks that were doing this work of
"moving the crops" we concluded
that "the New York bankers are large.
ly frauds, and New York financial men
humbugs-" !"
The New York Herald editorially
takes exception to this, calls it heated
conclusion, and calls upon us not to get
so excited. There is not the least ex-
citement at this end of the line; the
excitement seems to be altogether at
the New York end Of the line, over the
fact that Wstern banks are calling in
some of their money from New York for
use at home. Our New York coutem.
porary admits the main fact; it saws:
at is no secret that money comes
from other parts of the country to this
clty-much of it mischievously at
tracted by local banks Offering high in
terest on deposits-but when it is
called home at this season the New
York bankers certainly do send it,
and more with it, to move the crops.''

send 1t. But SO does an agent who
