THE GRAND ARMY'S THANKS.

The expressions of thanks by, the
Grand Army Memorial committee are
comprehensive and we'll expressed. Just
pride is taken In the magnificent show
ing made by the Grand Army parade
and due and fitting acknowledge
ments are made to all those who
helped to make il the brilliant
and imposing array that it pre-
seuted. The thanks returned were
appropriately placed, and the Grand
Army has just reason to be proud as
well of its committee S work in this as
it was of the magnificent showing made
on Memorial day.
There is, however, a significant omis.
sion in the card of thanks, an omission
which, under the circumsta tances, must
strike the public with a good deal of
force. The significance and appropriate-
ness of this omission Will he noted at
once when it is mentioned There are
no thanks expressed to the County Com
missioners Of Salt Lake county. These
Commissioners committed the wauton
folly and outrage of undertaking to
discipline the Grand Army for the al
tendance of some of its members ut a
public meeting. The Commissioners eX-
pressed the opinion, when asked to make
a small appropriation in aid Of Memo
rial day observances, that old soldiers
vino attended that meeting and ap"
plauded, were disloyal: and very de.
cided opinion was expressed by each
one of the Commissioners (tbe three
being then and there present) that
no money should he appropriated TO
help this ''disloyal'' crowd to commem-
crate It's Memorial day. The commit"
tee thereupon withdrew, very naturally
thinking that their request for the ap-
preparation had been refused, The sub
sequcnt developments are, however, in
that matter, that the Commissioners
either saw or had their attention direct
ed to the stupid blunder they were com
hitting, and they FASTENED, without the
knowledge of the committee, to make
the appropriation of $50 that had been
asked.
The Grand Army boys, however, were
so incensed at the insult hurled at them
by the County Commissioners that they
refused TO accept the money. Colonel
Squires, however. IN spite of the fact
that the Grand Army was making up
the deficit through voluntary contribu
tions among the patriotic people in this
city-those contributions being rem
dered on the representation that the
Grand Army would not hnmilate itself
by accepting the money from the Com
missioners and swallow the insult that
went along with it-proceeded on his
own account 10 take the Commission
ers warrant and receipt for it. His
action. however, if il had been ratified
by the Grand Army would have been

most humiliating one for that or
ganiZation, and very properly they re-
fused to be put in that position. II
was impossible for them TO accept that
appropriation and at the same time col
lcct money on the representation that
they had refused it, So that Colonel
Squlres had nothing TO show for his
oficiousness and was obliged to take
the warrant back to the county author
ities,
And so, while Just and proper credit
is given and thanks rendered TO all who
aided i'll the celebration of Memorial
day by the Grand Army, there arc no
thanks rendered to the Commissioners.
And that was a Just and proper re-
buke; for, under the circumstances, it
would have been an amazing bunder
had any such thanks been incorporated
into the resolutions.

LYING ABOUT THE CITY.

IL is strange to see the malignant and
ferocious falsity through which the op-
position press seeks TO damage this
city. There has been talk in the past
of "knockers here and there. hut no
knocking ever done before equals
| that which is now in progress by the
opposition press to the damage of Salt
Lake City's fair standing before the
world.
An instance of this is shown in the
Herald yesterday morning where, un-
der the heading Of .'City Nearing End
of Resources. the attempt is made to
show thnt the city has been plunged
into a financial crisis, and that it is
about at the end Of It's resources, IL
claims that "big deficit is promised
in special improvements fnnds,' and
that the impending obligations will
leave the city utterly bankrupt.
At the same time that all this bonn
bastic and malignant nonsense is being
exploited, the actual showing at the
head OF the article which contains the
vicious assault upon the city's credit
and under the head that proclaims an
impending financial ruin, there is ia
bic which shows a total credit balance
in favor of the city of S592, ,S45.9S. In
the general fund there is a credit bal
ance of $102,072.70; in special funds,
ST5.33S.52, in water works, Sl7, 1889,
in bond fund, 1851 ,2l9.03, and SO on.
And from these numerous credit bal
ances we are invited TO draw the infer
ence that the city is on the verge of
financial collapse and that the mu-
nicipal finances are total wreck,
j is not often that calamltous howl
is so thoroughly choked OF by the
actual presentation of the facts ncccs-
sarily carried along with it as is done
in this case. The Herald had TO print
the figures showing the good financial
condition of the city, but undertook to
falsify in headlines and in labored dis
tortions of text, the plain showing made
by the figures themselves The attempt
is MS disastrous as its failure is PLAIN.
In this the Herald is guilty of the sort
of "blunder that is worse than

SOUTH AFR1cA's GOLD OUTPUT

The output of gold from the Rand
has thus far averaged upwards Of
$ll 100000 n month during the pres
cnt year. To this the Rhodesia and
other gold mines of that region add
something over $1,000 600 month.
The figures show that South Africa S
contribution to the world s gold the
present calendar year will be about
$3.50, ZOO, 900, magnificent total, never
before approached by any single gold
producing region in the history Of the
world
The product by months on the
Rand, for the present year thus far,
has been: January, SIl,AlS,705;
February, $lo,4s2,17o; March, $l1,-
$3.50, April, $11 ,405,5 800; May, $40,
$4,000 The drop in the May produc-
tion, which was about million dol
lars less than expected, was caused, it
is explained by a strike which has
begun in the Rand, and which makes
forecasts uncertain.
The May production was the lightest
of any month since last July, when
the output was 49l 1913 ounces. This
is reckoning the February output pro
rata, it being a short month, with a
production less than that Of May, but
with the same number of days it would
have been more.
The record month s production at
the Rand previous to the Boer war was
SS,6O4, 900 in August, 1899. The May
record since 1899 has been as follows;
1899, s,29l $40; 1890, none; 1901,
$l56,355; 1902, $2,9l3, ,730; 1903,

thing of that kind, the institution
could credit itself with the material
so used TO the extent of funds enough
TO buy new dishes in place of those so
used. In that way the broken dishes
at least might be put under the head
of grave! bought for the hens, or of
improvements. Very likely this is
what the managers of the public in
stitutions will have to do i'm such
cases; that is make some use Of the
broken dishes that will enable them to
credit the concern with enough
money to buy. now. The idea that
dishes are a portion Of the "improve-
ments' of a public institution is one
that would not occur to the practical
mind. None hut n mind fun of humor
and desire of injecting joke occa-
slonally into the dry formulas of legal
procedure and public accounting could
have thought of this manner of turn
ing dishes TO account.
But Judge Breeden is humorist of
good quality. That his decisions do
NOT carry much weight among the legal
profession is something that is prob
ably all the worse for the legal pro.
fession, Among lawyers no doubt the
Judge could pass muster as aEhumorist.

ably have to pass as lawyer; but in

BREEDEN AS A HUMoRIST.

The rulings and decisions rendered
from time 10 time by Attorney-Gen-
eral Brecden of this State would, If
collected, make humorous book. the
enjoyment Of which would not in the
least be marred by the fact that It's
humor is entirely unconscious. The
amiable Attorney General would like
TO be right on every question pre-
sented to him, but of course that
is not TO be expected OF any man,
much less of one who has had so
little training in the law and whose
laws standards, precedents, equities,
and substance. However, The old gen
tleman is no doubt doing the best
he can, and if the people have
little laugh at his expense once in
while, no harm is done. But we in
sist that the Attorney whether
he knows it or not, is humorist of
no mean degree.
Take. for instance, his decision in
the case of wild horses, where he ruled
that it is illegal for any one to take
up these horses for his own benefit,
but that it is his duty 10 turn them
IN as strays in case any are captured,
either by design or accident. When
We consider that these wild horses are
a nuisance in some parts of southern
Utah. that the inhabitants there turn
out and hunt them. occasionally. shoot
ing them down when they cat the
grass that is needed for domestic
stock; and when we consider that
not one in dozen of these wild ami
mails would be of the least use to
anybody in case II were caught.
(unless ''bcef cannery' were
handy,) the humor of Mr.. Breeder S
suggestion is apparent Think of the
idea of the boys down there running
in a band OF wild horses and turning
them over TO the pound master, The
joke would certainly be on the pound
master; unless he could get the Attor
ney-G General 10 come 10 his aid and
then the joke would be on both.
Then again, take the learned de-
cision that Il can opener is not a tool
The humor of this is evident. If the
can opener is not tool, what is it2
1t certainly is not manufacturing
plant, neither is it weapon of offeuse
or defense. a chiscl is tool; ham
mer is tool; lathe is a tool:
almost any implement used in handi-
craft is tool, aud if one should open
can with any Of these things he
would open il with tool; but an i'm
plement fashioned for the express pur-
pose of opening the can is not tool
IF, however, the can has screw top
on it upon which wrench can be
used for opening it, the wrench is un-
doubtedly tool The line Of demarca.
ton between tool and something
else is one that would be extremely
difficult for the Attorney General to
explain nationally, and affords him
good chance for the exercise Of his
well-known humorous qualities.
Again, we have his decision that
where dishes are broken at public
institution the replacing Of those
! dishes is not matter of ordinary
maintenance of the institution, but
must go under the head Of improve
ments We suppose, however. that If
the broken dishes could be taken and
