FISH CHANGED THE BILL.
lNew York Worldl }


Gentlemen who are engaged in writing
fish fiction in the hope of getting at least
honorable mention if not first prize for
the season best effort will be disposed
to tear up their manuscript and drink
the ink when they read the following and
realize what a swell chance they have of
landing among the favored few:
Martin Blake, who our worthy and We
rdcious correspondent assures us to be a
resident of New York City, went out pick
ing pickerel in BriscOe Lake Sullivan
ways made a deep impression on the fat
fish, and, IN their anxiety to meet him.
they simply jumped into the boat with
out waiting to be summoned. With the
boat piled high with pleasant-faced
pickerel, Martin started for the shore On
the way ne relieved his pockets of some
trash.
While thus engaged in house cleaning
he accidentally tossed a ten-doliar bill

of the few remaining pickeTel who had
declined his invitation to take ride rose
to the surface and pulled the bill down
with him. Martin was mad clean through.
At first he was inclined to take it out of
the other pickerel, but his better nature
prevailed.
Yesterday afternoon he went fishing
again. He caught two more pickerel He
lifted one of them and a suspicious ping
ling attracted his attention. He cut il
open and nearly collapsed when he saw a
bunch of greenbacks and some loose
change. With trembling hand he counted
the money. There was a five-dollar bill.

THE DESERT.

Gertrude King in Appleton's Magazine
am the pure proud land that hath bark
ened to no mans wooing;
I am the virgin land vowed sole TO the
service of God:
The silence that broOdS on my hills is my
answer to human suing,
And there is the peace on my plains that
marks where the Lord hath trod.
| and my sister the Sea. we fret at your
insOlent creeping;
She decks with light foam wreath the
place of a strong mans rest,
And the dry skull. beached to silver
where the stated wolf is sleeping
Is. trivial gaud scarce worthy to lie
on my proud white breast.
Love you your fat green valleys, the
riches OF mans long labor?
Love you the foulness of cities, dark
with the ages CRIME?
Find you your gladness warm in the smile
and the grasp of your neighbor?
Bide YOU there with your kim the play
thing of men and of time.
But when Kisses have cooled on your lips
and your eyes have grown weary of
weeping.
When your pitiful loves stink down to
the clasp of the eager earth.
Come you and taste of the peace that the
guard of my hills is keeping;
Come and learn you the sweetness of
silence, the mother of Gods own
mirth.
He is thrOned on my crimson hills in d
purple meet for His passion;
The hot bright flame of His patience
plays over the leperwhite plains.
The wonderful sun is His herald and
speaks Him In kingly fashion,
And the golden sDlendor of midnight is
the veil that His glory deigns.
Teava vou the lows of green valley In
faint hearts that wait on their sat
ing.
Here is the sweet fresh air the soul is
cleaned from it's fears
Can you bargain with Age the Desp0iler--
will Time not grow weary of wait
fng2
But here in tie Desert is God the End
and the Crown of the years.

THE MOTE AND THE BEAM.

There is something truly touching
about the solicitude of the Americans
for the condition of the county 5
finances and their unwillingness to
countenance any issue of warrants that
might possibly be in excess of the debt
limit. To hear them talk and read
what they have to print on the sub
jet. one would think that the Amer
lean" party is unduly sensitive on the
subject. abnormally cautious about
about appropriations that might posi-
bly, be open to debate as to their le-
gality.
Yet these same Americans" have
been spending city money without re-
gard TO legal limitations on the issu-
ance of warrants. juggling special funds
to make a showing favorable to their
plans, sequestering bond funds. dOdg-
ing the issuance of warrants for i'm
provements completed and to be paid
for; and they have done this as cheer
fully as if it were the one pleasure al
lotted city administration in this
weary world.
The county is close to its revenue, so
close that Commissioner Cosgriff. who
is a conservative banker, thinks it
would be we'll to stop further extra eX-
penses this year until it can be deter
mined whether the revenues will equal
the Outgo. There is no question, so far,
as TO the sOlvency of the county. nor is
there any suggestion that it has eX-
ceeded its revenue by any large sum.
Mr.. Cosgriff's resolution is merely pre-
cautionary and probably a wise sug-
gestion; but it does not indicate extrav-
agance approaching the wild financial
dissipation of the city administration.
nor does it indicate lax administration
in county affairs There is no suspi-
cion that the expenses have been made
for the benefit of unnecessary Office
holders or for increased salaries to such
as are in Office already. 1t includes no
1000 donations to favored contrac-
tors.
To the disinterested observer it would
seem that the Americans" will have
ample occupation devising ways and
means to finance the city during the
coming year, without worrying greatly
about the county treasury, which it TAX
ing care of itself without bond issues,
without the sale of warrants at a dis
count and without the large and oner-
Gus overdraft which adorns the city's
exchequer. If the attack on the county
commissioners is meant as a diversion
To distract attention from the city's
financial condition, well and good-so
long as it works. But it won't work
long with the people who know the
status of the city and the grave prob
lens that confront the administrations
financial advisers.

POLITICS AND SMOKE.

The whole of Salt Lake valley is in
terested in any plan that will insure
the permanent settlement Of the con-
trOversy between the farmers and smell
ter owners, particularly because the
closing of the smelters affects a great
Industry. But the pyrotechnic effort of
Harry Joseph to focus attention on
himself in foolish scheme TO settle
the matter by a hastily called confer
ence, or to call a special session of the
legislature for some vague, unknown
legislation affecting the situation, is su-
peTfiuous and Improbable. So far il
has only resulted in muddling condi-
tions worse than ever and, if that were
possible, engendering more bitterness.
The truth is. as almost anybody but
Joseph would recognize, that the prob
lom is purely legal. The courts have
decided in favor of the farmers and en-
Joined the smelters from reducing Ger
ain grades of copper ore. With this
injunction as a weapon the farmers are
in position 10 take undue advantage in
any negotiations that may ensue, but
it is unlikely they Will make any move
without consultation with their legal
advisers. To them Mr.. Joseph's invi-
JatiOn TO hold a meeting with the smell
termen with a view TO settling on a
compromise is about as impertinent
as the same sort of suggestion would
be TO a man who held a judgment
against another. 1t is a legal question
and will be settled in the usual legal
way without the interference of out
siders.
All that can be done by the public is
TO urge the adoption of expeditions
methods and set forth TO the inter-
ested parties on both sides the need Of
patience and Cancellation. The public
is suffering 2 serious loss at a most
inconvenient time: Salt Lake as the
distributing point for the mines and the
smelters has a keen interest in the sit
uation and is anxious to see a compro-
mise effected. if such thing is at all
possible.
II Mr.. Mccormick, Governor Cutler
and others of their standing had the
matter in hand there would probably
be no question as TO the ultimate value
Of the effort, but Joseph with his queer
congressional aspirations, his unlimited
gall and weird notions of legislative
powers, is the last man in the state to
assume 10 represent either the general
public. the mine owners or the political
powers of Utah. If he is really anxious
10 help the situation he viii walk clear
back TO the exit and take a seat in the
vestibuie close to the storm doors.

he rarely missed a performance. And
always he was smiling, always he was
cheerful. He is known to thousands of
Salt Lake people by reason of this un-
failing courtesy
If 5ames Gibson had passed TO his
eternal rest there would be multitude
TO do honor to his memory. How much
better it is to pay a tribute to the man
while the tribute may still be of service
10 him and to those nearest and dear
est to him. The Salt Lake theatre
should tonight be filled to its doors
with paying patrons.
And TO every purchaser of ticket
the fullest value will be given, for the
entertainment that has been provided
will be the best that the city affords.

A PARADOX.

A remark made nearly twenty years
ago Is still numbered among the gems
in The kings collection of Irish bulls.
Ii was time of famine. and Miss Bal

of England. Arthur Balfour. then chief
secretary for Ireland, was one of Jhe
noble-heaTted band of men and women
who were helping with food and
clothes the victims of those black days.

old man called down blessings on the
head of her distinguished brother and

THE GIBSON BENEFIT.

This evening in the Salt Lake theatre
a benefit performance is TO be given for
James Gibson, who for more than
twenty years was chief doorkeeper at
that theatre. For a long time Mr.. Glib
son has been incapacitated for duty on
account of illness. Months ago he suf-
fered q stroke of paralysis. In all hui
man probability he will never again be
seen at his post OF duty. The Herald
hopes the benefit will net him con-
siderable sum of money.

public that man is James Gibson. Dur

WILHELM AS A BUTCHER.

A cable message tells of the slaughter
Of 700 pheasants in single day of
shooting by the Emperor William Of
Germany We are Informed that the
feat of the emperor is all the more re-
markable because he is able TO use only
one hand in his shooting. And at the
close of his performance he felt hearty
enough to attend a banquet in his hon
or. the banquet being followed by 9TH
er festivities that kept him up until a
late hour in the evening.
Seven hundred pheasants in a few
hours of shooting is certainly a remark
able record. even for a man who is in
full possession of all of his physical
faculties. 1t is really not a shooting
record at ali. 1t is a butchery. If the
emperor shot for four hours consecu-
lively he would have to kill pheasants
at the rate of three per minute to ac-
complish such a total. He could not
go into a barnyard and wiring the necks
of chickens at such a rate.
w nueilii, hOT any olhel man WIN
would kill 700 pheasants in a days
shooting, is d sportsman. We hardly
believe even President Roosevelt, great
slaughterer though he is. would be
proud of such feat, or attempt it.
Still. if Emperor William thought he
was having fun it is beyond the prov
ince of anybody TO criticise him. The
pheasants were doubtless raised for the
purpose of being killed by him-a case
of REORGANIZATION. as it were-and that
is the end of the argument.
