and what will become of the unskilied
laborer and his family?
Lieutenant Governor Draper of Mas
sachusetts is a member OF the Home
Market club of Boston, and one of the
high priests and anostles of the high
protective tariff. also one of the bene-
ficiaries. He believes. to borrow an ex-
preston from New England paper
that the Dineley schedules came down
from the mount.
Who dares to protest against the
thunders from Sinai? Surely it would
be an objectionable sin to call atten-
ton 10 the injustice of the system, and
one can see no help fer the unfortunate
dollar-a-day skilled workmen. They
have been told and apparently believed
that their very existence depended
upon the protective tariff system and
voted accordingly, not realizing that the
big manufacturer got all the protection
there was to be had. They have final
ly reached a stage where the raising OF
a family is impossible on the pittance
paid. What will the harvest be?

A COLORED RAINBOW.

delegation of colored men have
called on Mr.. Bryan and discussed the
possibility OF influencing the votes OF
their brethren in Ohio and elsewhere
for the Democratic ticket Not know
ing the personnel of the delegation. it
is impossible TO say whether the pro-
posal is a joke or the overture to what
Is known as campaign touch" If
the thing had happened here in Salt
Lake IT could be diagnosed at once as
a scheme 10 separate some candidate
from his surplus funds.
Possibly the Lincoln delegation was
acting in good faith, but il is incredible
that any intelligent member of the
negro race should expect his people TO
vote against the Republican ticket
Long habit. the traditions of years. a
certain childlike inability to formulate
a new plan of action-aH these have
bound the negro voter TO the Repub-
ncan chariot wheel as inexorably as if
with chains of steel. Nothing in the
attitude of the Republican party of re
cent years has merited such devotion:
but II reward were the purpose of fidel-
ity then the negro voter has been ig-
nored with the basest ingratitude.
The Brownsville affair is only an in
cident Bitterly as the negroes OF the
country feel the injustice they conceive
was melted TO their soldier brethren,
they Will still vote for Taft. Not even
such a blow in the face as the presi-
dents dismissal of the troops is strong
enough TO drive the colored voter from
his servile devotion TO a wornout ira
dition. BY and by the negro will wake
up to the fact that he has advanced
not a step in forty years. so far as
recognition from his own political
party is concerned; and that the chief
hope of substantial influence where he
casts a dominant vote as he does. for
instance in Ohio. is in considering the
issues Independently and abandoning
the old lines.
Meanwhile Mr. Bryan may content
himself with the assurance that his
visitors were misguided, no matter
what their intent. He has no more
chance of swinging the colored vote
against Taft in Ohio. or elsewhere.
than Taft has of carrying Texas.

Christmas came and went. Mrs. Long
man had neither seen nor heard from
the widow.
The middle of January Mrs. Longman
received still briefer note from the
widow asking for an immediate return
of the same blue silk umbrella.
Mrs. Longman took a postal card and
wrote, Il did send it," and began to
think of the receipt.
Time went on as il always will, but
Mrs. Longman heard nothing from her
dear friend. not even an answer to her
postal.
One day, much to her surprise. she
received a letter from the widows le-
gal adviser, requesting the return of a
blue silk umbrella, borrowed the pre-
ceding October.
Darn the woman" said Mrs. Long
man. and wrote the legal gentleman
she had sent the umbrella back by eX-
| press in December:
Where is the receipt" replied the
legal gentleman
II have lost it, wrote Mrs. Long
man.
Then what evidence has my client
that you ever sent it?" replied the legal
gentleman.
My word" wrote Mrs. Longman.
Your word is not sufficient, replied
the legal gentleman.
Mrs. Longman's indignation did not
permit her to answer. AS she heard
nothing more. she quickly forgot all
about the matter.

her dress.
Once more. she requested her legal
adviser to write, demanding the return

WEEP THEM AT NIGHT.

There are too many girls of tender
years on the streets OF salt Lake long
after the hour when they should be
under the parental roof. While it is
no doubt unwise to hold the check rem
too tight nevertheless too much lib
erty should not be allowed. 1t is a
common occurrence for bevies of girls
Of Il. Is and 10 years of age to prance
up and down Main street at a late
hour endeavoring 10 attract attention
10 themselves-and they generally sue
coed. The confidence Of mothers Is too
often misplaced. and harm results
where perhaps only innocent amuse-
ment was intended.
There are also too many youths just
out Of knickerbockers abroad during
the night, who endeavor TO attract the
attention of the young misses who are
allowed 10 roam AT will. There isn't
any possible excuse for such q state OF
affairs. The application of a hair
brush is recommended in both in
stances.
1t is related that Diogenes upon
hearing a boy swear struck the lads
father.

THE FATAL UMBRELLA.
New York Press.)
1. Genesis.

Things in this world go by contraries.
Mrs. Longman lived in New York,
the paradise of the rich, because she
was poor and literary.
Mrs. Wealthy Widow lived i'm one of
the suburbs because she had money
and wanted TO keep it.
Mrs. LOngman was tall and untidy-
a woman who always had rip in her
sleeve, q tear in her skirt, and some
buttons off.
Mrs Wealthy Widow was short,
rather stout and as neat as a pin al
though her husband had been dead be-
yond the formal period of mourning.
she still chung to the habiliments of
black.
Neither of these ladies was aware of
each others existence until they
CHANGED to meet at d summer colony.
Why they became friends? 1t would
be hard to say. but everybody knows
there is something in the air of sum-
mer resting places which makes queer
friendships
BY midsummer these two ladies were
as intimate as the blind man and his
dog.
AT the end of the summer like David
and Jonathan. they could not bear to
part.
The middle of September came. Mrs.
Longman said she ought to go back
to the city. Mrs. Wealthy Widow said
she must go home.
They parted with a mighty wrench,
many kisses and heaps of promises to
see each other soon.
2. The Gift.
II was late in October before Mrs.
Longman had her apartment settled
her rips and tears sewed up. and was
buttoned throughout.
Then she thought of her dear friend.
Mrs Wealthy Widow.
Il must spend the day with her." she
said.
So she did.
Mrs. Wealthy Widow welcomed her
with opened arms, warm kisses and hot
tea
The day was spent in picking over
the past summers gossip.
Mrs Longman prolonged her visit
until the cows came home, and il
poured like cisterns.
Never mind" said the widow. Il
will give you an umbrella. 1t is a blue
silk one. 1 don't use it, as l am in
mourning. Don't bother to return it"
Mrs. Longman didn't
8. Revelations.
Time flew into November and the
widow hadn't returned Mrs. Longman's
visit, neither had she heard from her.
Early in December Mrs. Longman re-
ceived a brief note from the widow. 1t
was a request for the return of the blue
silk umbrella. The widow had left off
her weeds, and 1t would just match her
new blue dress.
Mrs. Longman Immediately sent the
| umbrella back by express. The receipt

prosperity. when everything is lovely
and the goose hangs high; when the
captains of industry have with one &C
cord pitched their voices in an optimis-
tic key and ever and anon a dispatch

A TOGA AT STAKE.

Joseph l.. Bristow, who was fourth
assistant postmaster general during the
probing of the scandal which sent sew
eral Republican officeholders to Jail
and banished several more, is a candi-
date for the seat in the senate now oc-
cupied by Chester l. Long The con-
test is to be decided by the Republican
voters of Kansas at a primary to be
held ten days hence. There is this de-
parture from the usual procedure the
man carrying the larger number of leg
islative districts will be declared the
winner. and not the man receiving the
greater number of votes IN the aggre-
gate. Consequently il is possible that
the popular choice will fall short when
ii comes to counting legislative dis
tricts.
Along the kaw. Solomon and Arkan-
sas rivers excitement is at white heat.
and the candidates are saying some
pretty mean things about each other
The general impression seems to be
that Long will knock the persimmon
owing to the fact of his having made
good railroad connections in times past
and the further fact that he has finan-
cial backing in the east. Bristow is
! somewhat of a reformer and has a
creditable record as a public official.
Our own opinion regarding the mat.
ter is that while one or the other may
and probably will, be the Republican
candidate for senator. the Bryan wave
which is sweeping over the state will
| carry Democratic Legislature with IL
and leave both the contestants high
and dry.
