Reports from Washington state that
Cannon, the Mormon Delegate, is con
fdent Of securing favorable action on
the measure he claims that Utah has
a better right to admission than Colo
RADIO, and undoubtedly, IS far as popu-
lation and resources are concerned, he
is right. But then. there are obstacles
in the way of admitting Utah that did
not exist in the case of Colorado. Un
Ger the laws of that Territory, polyga-
nv. which is held to be crime in all
the States. is not oDly tolerated but
countenanoed. Once in the Union,
the Mormons would be in a position to
regulate their own domestic affairs and
compel obedience to Brigham s man
dates. Now, the Gentiles are treated
with disrespect by the Saints; then,
they would be Obliged to embrace Nor
monism or suffer persecution.
1t is aldisgrace to the country, that,
in Territory Immediately under the
control of the General Government,
men should be permitted to practice
with impunity that which would con-
sign them to the penitentiary ELSEWHERE

hitting Utah as a State. Congress
should pass a law making polygamy
felony in the Territories. and the Pres
ident should see that it WAS enforced.

AS provided by the charter the old
Board of Aldermen, at its last meeting,
fixed the salaries of the various city
officers. When the new board met a
large number of documents were receiv-
ed containing bids from responsible and
competent gentlemen to perform the
duties of the various Offices at much
lower rates than provided by the last
Board. A majority of the members
were in favor of reducing the salaries,
while others contended that the present
Board had no authority to alter the
figures made. Among the candidates
for City Clerk was C. H. Schmidt, editor
of the Nord IFesten, and when the
result of the first ballot was announced
and it was found that he had received
one vote, that belicose statesman stood
up and without asking permission to be
heard. withdrew from the contest, stat
ing that he twas no hog or cattle, to
be bought or sold," and made himself

move or suppress him. When it came
to the election of city printers Zone of

called away by sickness in his family
the Democratic majority of the Board
elected this same Schmidt-the man
who but few moments before had to
be removed for his disgraceful conduct
and that too after he had directly in
suited them and made himself thorough
Iy disagreeable 10 all who were present.
Whether it was the crack of the party
lash or fear of Schmidt which prompted
the Board to this action we do not know
certain it is that they conferred their
patronage upon man who is not capable
of conducting himself as gentleman
and who evidently was firm in the belief
that the six Dem ocrats IN the Board
dared not do otherwise than vote for
him. We congratulate the members
upon their choice AID the fact that while
their appointee has the courage to get
up and say that he is not for sale, they
dared not acknowledge their indepen-
dence for reasons best known to them
| selves. AS for the election of Major
Olmsted, of the Pilot, to do the city
printing in English, we can find no fault
the Democrats were in the majority
and give support to their party paper
But when it comes to such strait that
the Nord Westea, ruffian can bull-doze
such intelligent men as we believe the
Democratic majority of the Board on
that evening to be, it is time for thanks
giving on the part of the Republicans
that they are not of them.

THE OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS.

Of course it Is easy to find fault with
the season and the prices, and complain
that things are not as they used to be,
but, as compared with other branches
of bushes, the outlook for farmers is
good. Almost everything the farmer
has to buy is cheap, while nearly every
thing he has to sell brings fair price.
At no time in the history of the country
have the ratesfor carrying farm products
to distant markets been so low as at pres
ent. Even il the days of granger leg
islation, no one expected that the rates
for carrying produce would ever be so
low as they were last year.
Farmers may affirm that they are not
deriving a great profit from their land
and stock, but they are deriving much
more from them than the owners of
railway property are getting from their
property.
The price of all kinds of farm ma
chinery are lower than they have been
since the war; The wages of farm
hands are also much lower than in for
mer years. With cheap mechanics and
cheap labor all crops may be planted,
and harvested at less expense than III
former years. Farmers who are in debt,
can obtain money to meet their obliga-
tons for smaller rate of interest than
they could few years ago. Fencing
and building materials are cheap, SO
that it is good time to improve farm
property. All kinds of nursery stock
are low, and farmers can afford to, set
out orchards and vineyards, and orna-
ment their premises. 1t costs but little
now in comparison with other years, to
purchase fine stock to use in the i'm
provements of horses, cattle, swine and
sheep.
Raising stock designed for food, is
profitable, and the prospect for stock
raising, in the future, is excellent. The
appearances are that meat will never be
cheap again in this country. During
the past two years, trade in fresh meats
has grown up with Great Britain, which
seems certain of continuance. At pres
ent there is alarm over western Eu-
rope, in relation to diseases of cattle de-
signed for food. This, OF itself, viii
serve to keep up the price of meat, and
increase the demand for that produce in
this country. During the past two
years the demand for indian corn in
England has increased hundred fold.
1t is now largely used for human food,
and is food for work horses. The pros
pect is that the demand for Indian corn
for expectation will increase year by
year. In view of all these things, it
must be admitted that the outlook for
farmers is COED better than for men
engaged in any branch of Legitimate
Chicago Tribune.

LAST Thursday the case of the State
against ex-Treasurer Henry Batz came
up for hearing in the Circuit Court, at
Madison, for the recovery Of $4,000
which he had paid to Simon Mills, then
Treasurer of the Insane Asylum at Mad
ison. by check on the Bank of Madi-
son in 1878 just prior to the failure of
that bank, nonsuit was granted against
the State, and generating Major Batz
from all liability that tie State had
suffered no loss, and had such loss been
sustained by the failure of the bank,
Betz was in no wise responsible for it,
and that he had performed all his obi
cations as State Treasurer. The result
of this judicial investigation is highly
gratifying to the many friends of ex-
Treasurer Batz, as it has left his high
standing as a gentleman unimpaired.
