tice to her. Why not appropriate
$4,000 for the relief of Utah County
and do the same by other counties
in proportion, and especially Salt
Lake, for in the matter Of school
tax alone, only three mills on the
dollar, this county paid, over two
years ago, S13. 900 more than it ever
got back. Let Salt Lake County
come in for about $4,000 or $4,000
for Normal Department, and so
every other county in proportion,
provided it pays more into the gen.
eral treasury than it take out. This
s., 600 to the University is no ap-
preparation to the county at all, it is
for a Territorial institution, and
hence is no part of what
we want for our Normal De-
partment here, whatever that
may mean. If this matter of ap-
populations comes down to game
of snatch-grab, We want the repre-
sentatives Of this county to look out
for our interests, as those from other
counties do for theirs, if they ex-
pect our support in the future.
To appropriate to these Normal
Departments, and to place the
amounts in the hands Of the county
officers, puts all out of the control OF
the Legislature, and if the educa-
tional interests of the Territory are
too important to be placed out of the
control of the lawmakers, as some
of them argue, yet why will they do
so in this particular case, rather
than place the trust in the hands of
the Board of Regents of the Univer-
sity, a body of men of their own Sc
lection?

THE ALLEGED Rev. Jocook, of
Boston, has again been uttering a
growI against Utah and the MorS
mons. He says that within ten
years there will be a population of
100000 to 100000 under Mormon
ism, and then the circus will begin.
Let us see, the church was organ
lied fifty-four years ago, and now
numbers about 200, 1000; yet, Jocook
is right; in ten years the population
should number about 1,5Oe, 900,
when the procession ought to start.

The EDITOR of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says: "John A.
Logan does not stand the slightest

of the best political prophets in the
party, even if he did make false
prediction in regard to the nomina>
ton of Grant in 1880.

nounces it as "the most insidious
and dangerous form of lottery bus
mess yet devised for swindling hon.
est country people," The Grocer is
generally correct, but it is not worth
while to boast of the honesty OF
country people who become parties
to the swindling practice. Their
honesty may be set down as OF the
negative character. They are OF
that class who want 10 get some-
thing for nothing, which is in it
self a species of dishonesty. Intel
ligence should teach that when
dealer promises that a ticket en-
titling the finder to china tea set
is concealed in package of fifty
cent tea; that packages Of tobacco
contain coins to reward lucky
buyers, that tickets for clocks,
watches and other articles are to
be found in cases of baking
powder, he is either
cheat in that he ia imposing upon
the public by selling an inferior ar
ticle, or that he charges more for the
article than it is worth. Merchants
do not give away to their customers
watches, jewelry and coin. The
cheaper and safer way to purchase
goods is to buy from a dealer who
conducts his business upon legiti>
mate principles, and does not resort
to trickery, not to say knavery, to
entice trade. AS q rule in this
world, value received must be paid
for all we get.

MISTAKEN PROHIBITIONIsTS.

As is too often the case with the
Democratic party the secret of the
Prohibitionists' failure is due more
frequently to blunders than to any
other cause. 1t seems that your
average Observation-Disclosures is as
nearly devoid of common sense as a
full. grown man can possibly be. He
is perpetually getting himself and
the whole cause in the interest Of
which he labors, into trouble, and
the instances are by no means rare
where he does positive injury to
effective temperance work. The
Prohibitionists of New York are at
present perpetrating blunder, as
the more intelligent and calmer Of
the temperance people can readily
see. There is bin before the legis-
lature, the object of which ia to
impose the high license system upon
the uor-dealers Of the Empire
State: and the spectacle is presented
Of the Prohibitionists and
the rnmaelleIs united in
making a vigorous fight
against the measure. AS matter
of course, the dealers oppose the
bill, as it would place them under
closer restrictions, besides taking
more money from them, but why
intelligent temperance advocates
should oppose it is not plain, unless
it is because they expect to obtain
a prehibitory law, which latter zane
people can never hope for In New
York. Anything that lessons the
sale of intoxicating liquor and con-
fines the traffic to places where any
regard for law and order is main
tanned, is in the interest of temper.
ance, and it is certainly better to
take something that can be had
than strive for impossibilities. If
it were possible to get prohibitory
law through the New York legisla-
ture, it would be as impossible to
enforce 1t in the cities as to make
politicians pure and bring about
perfectly honest government. But
a high license law can be
maintained, and the consump-
ton of liquor materially lessened.
Attempted prohibition and high
license have both been pretty
thoroughly tried in the little city of
Salt Lake, and while one effort was
a conspicuous failure the other has
been fairly successful. To-day the
whisky business is under better
control than at any time since the
prohibition policy was abandoned,
and the saloons are less disreputa-
bic than when a more stringent law
was in existence but not in force. If
we fail Of prohibition law, where
four-ffths Of the people are reIigi-
ously temperance advocates, and
perhaps two-thirds Of them total
abstainers, how hopeless would be
the effort to suppress the traffic in
New York, where million people
are neither theoretically nor prsctis
cally opposed to rum? The Prohi-
bitionists of the Empire State are
certainly making a mistake in join
ing hands with the liquor sellers to
defeat wise legislation in the inter
