Show The Herald draws a funny parallel between the great Napoleon and the great hobo of the mines, Tabor. Tracing Trac-ing all the disasters of the two to the one cause the putting away of their wives. The thing is apt and historically histori-cally correct, but we incline rather to the opinion that the causes of the two rather heavy downfalls was and is ascrlbable to another and equally plausible plausi-ble cause. In .Napoleon's case, it was greed for territory, the ambition for universal sway, and in Tabor's case, greed for more gold and the ambition to force, by his money, recognition in political and social circles far above his abilities and worth, were the lures that ruined poor Tabor. He had enough money when he left Leadville and ought to have been content. The dead Augusta as the dead Josephine are f ertunate equally, in being well beyond news papercomment. That Logan Baloon keeper who struck Prof. Paul of the Agricultural school, who visited the place to bring away a Btudent who was playing there, against the rules of the college, haB little business sense, and less sense of propriety than any man in his line of business of whom we have heard for lo ! these many years. Professor Paul ehouli not have gone in person. He ehould have sent an able bodied porter who has had the run of the gynasium for a long time, who could have met the argaments of the saloon man on terms of equality. The students of our state institutions, whether under or above the "age of consent," as the Hon. Mrs. Hollty would say, have no business in billiard or other saloons.

It is a great battle that is now going on in congress over th financial question, ques-tion, and silver now and then gets an ioning. The goldites do not appear to have it all their own way just at this" juncture, albeit we are told many times and oft that no bill can be passed at this session. If Mr. Cleveland is not quite an idiot he will sign a free coinage bill n3W if one is passed, and after the occurrences of the last few oionthB one should be offered to him. It is surely now or never with the silver sil-ver men. Now is Vest's time to launch a bill in the senate which will give a new direction to financial policy in this nition. Had he broken squarely with tie president a couple of years since, ?hen he ought to have done it, things would have been vastly different as well as as vastly better than they are. Doubtless Missouri's famous senator sees that now as well as other people peo-ple do. In view of the turn things are taking tak-ing in the courts the troubles of those ministers who so inconsiderately rushed into politics to hurl religious javelins at the commission, are likely to find time to regret their resolutions. The priests can always keep out of politics with propriety, and can rarely enter them without gttting their godly toes severely tramped upon. Mr.Reed's conclusion that a hundred millions, or even five hundred mil lions Is a mere bagatelle to this nation, na-tion, ia very reassuring, but he wouldn't thiuk so if the administra- j tion were republican. Eeed is an astute as-tute and very cunning man and a republican. re-publican. It will pay to watch Heed. The beet farmers are making wry faces at the proposed new contracts. They don't relish the $1.00 per ton lop off in price. Thi3 may seriously attect next season's accreage in the sweet tubers. All Utah has to do now to become rich and great, is to develop her fabulously fab-ulously rich gold fields. She has fate by the horns sure enough, if Bhe only has the requisite nerve to hold on. The improvement in the manners of the Tribune, anent the election caseB before the courts, naturally leads us to inquire which one of the able editors is sick, away, or on a spree. The Gold Hill excitement is still increasing. in-creasing. Let us look for other gold hills. There are plenty of them in Utah. That is the ticket. |
