Given a boy with health, sense and pluck, the duty of parents to assure his best future, is to develop in him what-ever bent and taste he may have for le-gitimate enterprise, and fortify him for that with the bent school and home edu-cation and influence obtainable. how to kducatk our nova. We find in a Chicago papor a number of interviews with the most successful merchants in that city regarding tho qualifications thoy deem best to tit boys for success in business and the opinions expressed aro curious. Marshal Field thinks the three It's enough to start with. J. V. Farewell thinks a good English education necessary, especially a knowledge of figures. A. A. Sprague requires, among other things, a good, plain, flowing handwriting. Another gentleman thought a good common school education necessary. Franklin McVeagh thought a common school ed-ucation neoessary. Henry W. King wants a boy as soon as he has finished in the common sohool. Mr. Palmer, of Phelps, Dodge & Palmer, demands good handwriting, correctness in figures; in fact, a cood common school education. The general superintendent of a great railroad thought a good common school education indispensable. M. D. Wells said "a good common school education." Soveral others concurred in these opinions. To be of any value the paper' should have interviewed not only men who are preeminently successful in business but also those who are absolute failures. A good common school education may be a very good thing, but it is not a guar-antee by any means of success in busi-ness. What a boy wants to start life with is the best education his parents can afford to give him. No man has ever known too much. No man will ever know enough. Thus equipped, and assuming the boy to be honest and bright, let him be examined as to his fitness for any future work he may have in view. - Most of the failures in life are due to mistaken vocations. Many a useful cobbler is spoiled in a miserable shyster. No one can excel in any oc-cupation he dislikes. Enthusiasm is a wonderful adjunct to success..

Dan Piatt. The annual reports of the brigadier and major-general- s commanding mili-tary departments or divisions so far published are utterly barren of any in-teresting feature. Tho fact is that dur-ing the last session of congress a great deal of military legislation was enacted which will have to be put to a practical test before anything can be said about it. Next year we will learn something about the effect of the new law con-cerning promotions and also the effect of the new purchase system calculated to check desertions from tho army. We believe the latter will prove the most efficient means ever adopted for thut end. ' THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By T. A.

For a quarter of a contury we have been bombarding somewhat after the Chinese fashion a politico-ecclesiastic-craft. At last, however, the guns are silenced. The progress of events, a growing public opin-ion, tho fear of coming judg-ment, and, we trust, the verdict of a second sober thought, have driven the denationalized craft to haul down its piratical Hag and to sail on a different tack. Whatever of cunning or cabal may have helped to bring about this re-sult, it has lifted the political issue in Utah from the mire of a narrow polyg-amous strait. If the priestly leaders of an obnoxious system that can only be sustained amid isolation and barbarism are forced to submit to the inevitable, what may we expect from the more enlightened and inde-pendent laymen who are citizens of this republic and profess to have regard for its laws and its flag. The old fight can not be maintained on dead issues, on past differences or on presumed of-fences. The nation, through its strin-gent laws, its official representatives and its Inflowing loyal citizens, is mas-ter of the situation in Utah. The con-dition here today is such that with the closing hours of the pending campaign which, in substance, is a personal con-test betwoen ability and loyalty in tho person of Judge C. C. Goodwin, and imbecility and indifference to the vital interests of the commonwealth on the part of John T. Caino, the old era will be closed. " ' New issues must be met by new po-litical combinations. Organized efforts must be made to infuse new and higher considerations into our political con-tests. Such a change will have an ele-vating and educational tendency. It will arouse the dormant energies of the masses, stir the aspirations and am-bitions of high spirited and educated young men and result in a safe and speedy admission to the union of the wealthy, populous and loyal state of Utah. The sure Indications .of the promising present may not impress or suppress leaders, e politicians, or mercenary placemen. It is not to be expected that they will join the 'upward movement until they are carried away by .its momentum. But to the patriotic citizen who has other than selfish intorests to subserve, tho political evolution now in progress is a welcome opportunity to lay broad and deep the foundations of a new Utah. Two "apostates" are now on the Goodwin train. Apostacy from tyranny is a sign of manhood. No true Amer-ican citizen owes a political duty to any church. State and church' are distinct and separate in the United States, and Utah is gradually becoming an integral part of the United States. And slavery died under Linooln. With tha Ked Huttes Hoands. Laramie Boomerang. The Red Buttes hounds had another splendid run Monday. Mr. Whitehouse loosened a pack of about fifty splendid specimens of hunters, and in company with a part; of ladies and gentlemen started a bunch of antelope in H. K. Evans' meadow. At the sound of the huntsman's 'horn the pack started off in full cry. In the party was Miss Whitehouse, riding the well known racehorse Viscount, which has won many races at Cheyenne and other places, while Mr. Harry Whitehouse was mounted on that great racer and fencer, Blue, who never refuses any obstacle before him. Viscount and Blue were seen at the bead of the chase most ; of the time, still, had there not been extra horses, none could have staid with the hounds, as the pace was a terrifio one. The chaso continued fram 9:80 irt the morning until dark, when the bqunds had to be whipped off. A wagon containing the refresh-ments for the day was taken along and a stop made for lunch, when the bounds were lost sight of, and it is not known whether a kill was made or not. Chuuch rule and adobe huts, Liberal rule and stone palaces, are terms. ' CRISP CONDENSATIONS. The first piano was invented as far back as 1716. , The population of the world doubles Itself in 260 years. An Atchison (Kan.) woman makes all the butter by shaking the cream in a glass jar. At Eureka, Cal., one of the miners has a pet sheep that follows him all through the mine. It is a matter of tradition in Japan that fruit grows upon the bamboo when there is to be a famine in that country. In Washtenaw county,. Mich., there is a spring which has the peculiar prop erty of petrifying everything over which its water flows. The Corean alphabet is phonetic, and so simple that any one can learn to read in a day. Nearly all the women in Corea can read. ' Apples ten and twelve inches in cir-cumference are raised in Southern Florida. They are said to be of a fine flavor and juicy. The income derived by French people who rear fowls, according to official re-turns, is 337,100,000 francs, of which 153.500,000 francs represent the value of the flesh and 183,600,000 francs that of the eggs. There are 530 authorized guides in the Alps; 104 of them have taken a regular course of instruction in their profession and have received diplomas; 85 of them are between 60 and 70 years of age, and 6 are over 70. The latest addition to the world of newspapers is entirely in Latin, adver-tisements and all, and its object is to prove that Latin should again become what it was in the Middle Ages the universal language. - About twenty years ago the Japanese author, Kioyte Bakin, completed a novel npon which he had been at work for thirty-eig- years. It comprises 106 volumes, and is said to illustrate all classes of Japanese society and life. The kali mujah, or death, plant, of Java, has flowers which continually give off a perfume so powerful as to over-come, if inhaled for any length of time, a full grown man, and which kills all forms of insect life that come under its influence. ; Delegate Caine's action with regard to the publio building explains itself. We didn't get it. We are glad to note the withdrawal of Rev. J. B. Thrall's resignation. He could ill bo spared. By a misprint the Prov Enquirer calls it scampaigq. That defines its side, perhaps, just as well. In the skirmish between Jay Gould and the Telegraph Brotherhood, Jay Gould came out ahoad. Tho Brother- - hood surrendered. The scarcity of money so much com-plained of will be relieved to a great extent, especially in the close districts, by the day of election. The Ogden Standard of Polygamy labors hard to neutralize the effect of Goodwin's visit to that city. How the jaded gall winces. DON'T DKN Y HUT ASSEttT. The vehement denial by tho church organs of Delegate Calne's neglect of duty in connection with the public building in Salt Lake City shows how deeply he is hurt in a vital spot. But denials don't count. Any experienced liar will make them without a blush. What Mr. Caine should do is to tell his waiting and wondering constituency what he has actually done to advance the bill; what he said in favor of it; when he said it, aud where. How often did he appear before the committee on public buildings and point out the im-perative need of a government building in this city or In any other city in Utah? What was his identical language? Where is it of record? Who was bis spokesman on the floor of the house; who in the senate? Not denials but as-sertions are convincing In this case. Mr. Caine no doubt proved a very useful agent of the first presidency. When the Edmunds or Struble bill ,was introduced the delegate immediately converted himself into a very busy Individual. In the expressive west-ern jargon, he humped himself. He was watchful by day and sleepless by night, and tireless at all times, Wero tho church regiment to follow the prac-tice of other political governments and publish a blue book, the chapter de-voted to Delegate Caine's activity at that time would be surpassingly inter-esting;, but outside of that what did he do? Did ho exort qny influence on leg-islators or legislation in favor of Utah? Was he consulted in matters pertaining to our affairs? Did any body of citi-zens in this territory ever petition con-gress through him for any right or favor excepting when official form re-quired it or the church was Involved? Did any man save a brother in the Lord eveHook to him for official aid? Not much. Congressmen in Washington and citizens in Utah were aware of Caine's true position. Under the dome of tho uational capital there M'as just one man who represented a hierarchy. That man must go. The painful legend in the Ogden papers still meets our tired optics: "At-tend the chamber of commerce meeting tonight." Oh, let the thing rest. Salt Lake city is one of the few towns where building operations con-tinue practically through the winter. The advantages of our climate are mul-tifarious. Blaine made another speech yester-day and it is the universal opinion of his friends, tho enemy, that it was in ill taste. It was Intended to taste just that way, brsthreu.' The free traders will find several crumbs of comfort in Gladstone's speech on the McKinley bill, since they view the tariff from the same stand-point as he, the British. RAILWAY BREVITIES. Engineor Charles Rogers has been with' the Erie road forty years. The Big Four has bought the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute for (10,000,000. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is making experiments with an electric signaling device. William Sullivan, who was for thirty years a section boss on the New York Central between Lockport and Orange-por- t, died at Lockport, N; Y., recently. Railroad managers in Pittsbnrg are talking of charging an admission fee of one cent to the platform of the Union station in that city, giving ticket hold-ers the privilege of going out to the trains an hour before they start. A construction company of New York estimates that a mile of railroad laid with wooden ties and stone ballast costs $11,077, while the same stretch of steel ties with gravel ballast will cost but $11,055. While the cost of tho steel is more than double that of wood, that of gravel is less than stone.' A solid train of canned fruits parsed over the Burlington from San Francisco through to Chicago early in September. It was composed of twonty-on- e cars, and ran at an average rate of thirty-fiv- e miles an hour. It was the first solid train of canned goods that ever crossed the continent. The Reading railroad has purchased the Union canal, which extends from Reading to Middletown, Dauphin coun-ty, Pa., a distance of eighty miles. No boats have traversed the canal for ten years, and it has fallen into a very di-lapidated stato. What the railroad com-pany will do with it is not known. The canal cost $1,000,000 to build seventy-fiv- e years ago. So Brother Ellis reserves his pyro-technics until a day before the election. And he will not charge any admission fee either. Hoar ye, hear ye. Is the blatherskite working on a salary? "Ouk visit means that we are grow-ing closer together. Let us help' to build up this territory aud let us assist in speeding the time when we can di-vide, on national questions as they do in other states.' Judge" Powers at Pay-- ' son. The democrats have already elected General Palmer senator from Illinois, Pattison " governor of Pennsylvania, Warwick congressman from the six-teenth Ohio district, and a large assort-ment of other statesmen to various offi-ces, subject only to the confirmation by the people at the polls. It is tho little ceremony at the polls that generally upsets the premature and previous cal-culations of the untorritied. Incredible as it may seem President Adams of the Union Pacific is a humor-ist. His explanation that "after a very careful examination I am satisfied that the only thing the Union Pacific is now suffering from is a plethora of riches,' is funny enough to make Bill Nye jeal-- ' ous. Mr. Adnms' careful examination was not careful enough. To find out what the real trouble with the road is he should look himself into the mirror. BIRD (SUPERSTITIONS. The woodpecker was deified by the an-cient Tartars, Kelts and Tauranians. Among the Finns tne cuckoo is a sa-cred bird, unhappily connected with lov-ers' sorrows. When turkeys ttretch their necks to stare upward froaa their roojtsitwill rain before morning. The adage holds that swallows are the heralds of summer 's coming. If they fly high all will be bright and fair; if low all will be dull and watery. The negroes of Loiusiana give credence to the myth that the jay birds spend Fridays in the infernal regions rs a pun ishment for their misconduct dr. ring th crucifixion. The cuckoo is the special harbinger of spring. Everywhere within its nesting latitude it is regarded as the envoy an-nouncing winter's departure and the coming of his fair successor. The peasants of Brittany aver that if a crow croaks three time he' proclaims foul weather; but if the number of his croaks is even it will be clear. Lippin cott's Magazine, : ..V'"- As envoy extraordinary and minis-- i ter plenipotentiary of the church to congress John T. Caine was a success. He smiled and smirked and waited In the ante-roo- like the humble servant of the Lord that he is, with an attentive and constant ear to the wire that ends in the Gardo house. But since the church renounced polygamy it ought to have no use for an agent in Washing-ton. Least of all should it expect the people to pay him for services which he conspicuously ' fails to render. What the people want is an assertive, aggres-sive, able representative in the national capital. |
