the total investment in lines and
plant was only S4O5, go. of which sum
the dividends one year were equal to 81
per cent. This profit was made on a
business aggregating s38s,677, or 90 per
cent of all the business was clear profit
70 the company. 1t is the outrageous,
infamous robberies like these which
arouce the people against monopolies,
and emphasize the demand that the
patent laws be amended so that the in
ventor cannot receive the protection of
the government in his robbing oper-
atoms.
There is one way, and only
one; for bringing the Bell
company of thieves to terms,
and that is the course pursued by the
people of Schenectady. N. Y, last
month. Protests against the extortion
were without avail, and subscribers
ordered Ithe instruments taken out.
Every city where the robbery is
attempted should adopt this plan, and
whenever rival company comes along,
give it all the. encouragement possible.
Bell's'Inyention is wonderful, but isn't
half as big as the greed of the
inventor.

A RECEIVER.
Mr.. Mcmillan Appointed Receiver
of the Utah Eastern Railroad.

1t will be seen that Judge Zane has
appointed Mr.. Mcmillan, deputy clerk,
to be receiver of the Utah Eastern rail-
road. he being the only gentleman upon
whom the various attorneys could agree.
His bonds are fixed at $4,000. The
complete order detailing the receivers
powers, rights, duties. prerogatives, etc.,
is now being examined by the Judge
and will be filed to-day.
80 Mr.. McMIlan's duties are not ex-
pected to be so arduous that they will
deprive the courtroom of his presence.
They will consist for while in sending
detectives up the Utah Northern line in
quest of the missing Eastern's rolling
stock, generally said to have found
shelter on the Union Pacific narrow
gauge branch. Whether active opera
tons will be resumed, and whether the
Ontario contractfo for coal hauling will be
carried out under the receiver, are ques-
tons not as yet answered.

DYNAMITE THREAT.


Senator Edmunds has received letter
threatening the dynamiting of his resi-
dence and the blowing up of his COM
1nittee room in the Capitol, because he
introduced the resolution against dyna.
miters.
The fact that such letter could be
written i'll this country is the very best
argument that could be made in favor
OF strict measures against she scoundrels
who are engaged in the explosive in
dustry. This a free country, where the
people rule in all matters relating to
government. If anything goes wrong
all the people have to do is to say so at
the polls and the wrong is righted. The
people are supreme both in the matter
of making and enforcing the laws.
If the people have any protests to make
they must present them against them
selves and blame their own negligence
or want of wisdom rather than declain,
against an imperial government which
enacts and applies laws without con-
sulting the best interests OF the masses.
Men who talk about Fighting wrongs
here by the use of dynamite, do not
understand the American government
and are not familiar With the theory and
Institutions Of the United States. They
are not good citizens, and should not be
encouraged or protected on American
soil. These are the men against whom
the anh-dynamite laws should run; IL
they cannot be kept ont Of the country
they can at least be prevented rom
operating in their fendfsh vocation
while here. The threats against Ed
Ennds Gugbt to serve as powerful 'arsn-
menLs in favor OF early and unmistak-
able adada against tAedynanaiters.

THE IDAHO ROW.

1t seems to be real live circus that
Thar they are having in Boise. Idaho,
all growing out of the corrupt bargains
entered into by Governor Bum,
Marshal Dubois, ex-Secretary Pride
and others Of less note officially and
politically, There wasn't enough money
to be stolen, nor enough offices for
everybody, hence the quarrel and
breakup among the ringsters. Bum
undertook to take more than his share
of the spells, and his influential cocoon
spiraters turned against him, Dubois,
as our readers are aware publicly in
forming his excellency that he was a
conspicuous economizer of the truth.
Last week Pride was arrested for
attempting to bride member
of the late Legislature, and
held in bonds to await the action of the
grand jury. Bum is getting it hot
and heavy from all sides, but holds his
ground against everybody. Dubois,
who seems to be the shrewdest of all the
'eonspiratorsi has not yet been caught,
but be keeps his friends busy writing
cards certifying to his good character
and TO the work that he has done in
manipulating things in Idaho. Our
morning contemporary has a special
from Boise, telling of the cutting and
sacking of newspaper Office on Friday
night, by the Governors adherents. and
of the attempted burning of another
office All of which is pretty good, and
causes as TO wonder what they'll
do next 1t has been intimated
that at least one of the United States
District Judges is among the conspira-
tors. If tins be true. the courts viii |
probably continue inactive in the mat
ter of checking the plundering by at
tempting to punish the robbers. As a |
matter of course the Judges viii pull !
as they do in other Territories.
The only hope for the poerpeeple of our
northern neighbor, who are the chief
sufferers from the operations of this
band of official rogues, is the Inaugural
ten, Of Mr.. Cleveland, who will I'M
doubtedly clean out the foul crew and
thus rescue the Territory from the hands
of her spoilers.

FIVE YEARS have passed SINCE the last
census was taken and yet not half the
returns are ready for publication. The
delay is not caused by lack of funds, for
the cost has already been nearly double
the original estimate. The matter to be
published hereafter. will be practically
useless, except as history, for the times
and conditions to which it. applied have
gone and changed. It is not believed
that the publication will be complete be-
fore 1890. when another census will be
taken. Representative Cox, of New
York, has introduced bill to abolish
the census bureau, and turn the unfin-
ished work over to a few permanent
clerks in the Interior Department.
Nothing would be lost through the pas
sage of the bill, and a good deal of
money would be saved.

MAPLEsoN's COMPANY.
A Chat with the CoIonel's Advance
Representative,

Herr Dittman, Her Majesty's repre-
sentative in the west, looking as if it
were only day instead OF a year since
Salt Lake gazed upon his curIs, dropped
into THE HERALD sanctum as naturally
as of yore, yesterday afternoon. He. had
been delayed by the D. q r. G. snow,
and had only few hours to pass in
Salt Lake Before rushing off to San
Francisco to inaugurate the Patti SUBJ
scription boom.
I'VE are not to have Patti then2Y
The shrug which always confuses one
as to Dittman's nationality replied.
How can youls She must have 81 900

"She don't share then2"
mo. not she. Why should she? She
receives guarantee" e's

that Cheyenne had raised guarantee
of $6000Eyou must deny. No truth in

give them there the same bill as YOU

How have matters gone with the
colonel this Year,"
HE made lots, lots of money in
Boston and Philadelphia; only $3.50 in
New Orleans; the exposition is the
most terrific thing in the way of a
fizzle that ever beheld; it
has rained there necessarily for ten
weeks, and there is nobody there but
u
You don't play at Denver?"
Another shrug-contemptuous this
time.
nothing Gnyer there ere bns sy SUCH care shows ,1s
as the Adamless Eden company.
Give them brindle dog, or
three legged calf or something like
that. and they will offer you good
terms. Give them Her Majesty's COM
pany and they say there's no money in
NOW, Mr.. Dittman, as to prices 2"
The Herr tapped the SUNDAY HERALD
which he had been perusing with bene-
fit, and replied: s'"0h, / have tele-
graphed the colonel to-day that on no
account must he charge more than IS
in Salt Lake. l see how your times are
here; but l have no control over prices,
and they will have to be regulated b y
the answer get from the colonel"
The reporter assured him that So
might be tolerated, out SIS never. The
company, he says, is larger and
stronger by the addition of corps de
ballet, headed by the celebrated Caval-
azzi; Fursch Madi, as a dramatic sop
rano, and Scalchi, as the foremost of
contraltOs, are of course well known by
the musical public. The date is a
week from Thursday, at the Theatre.

PRESIDENTIAL FEEDERS.

During the campaign and since. the
Blaine newspapers have said some
pretty hard things about Cleveland, but
nothing equals the following. which is
going the rounds of the organs of the
great defeated: "Mr. Cleveland
actually eats with his knife" There
have been some Presidents who have
disgraced their countrymen by their
manner of eating, but none of them,
we believe, has ever gotten so low in the
scale Of degradation as to use his knife
for shoveling food into his mouth. It
used to be said that Abe Lincoln fire.
quently ignored knives, forks and
spoons at table, employing his fingers
where others used the implements of
civilization, drinking soup from his
plate. and Stopping" bread in the gravy
dish. 1t is notorious that Grant
used to eat largely with bottle and
glass, and his table manners were so
bad that he frequently did not appear
at the family board when company was
Hayes was SO stingy that no
body ever saw how he ate in the White
House. When his wife gave a state
DINNER he sat at the head of the table,
and presided with good deal of dig
nifty, but ate nothing. 1t is known that
he kept black bottle behind the ward
robe in the BEDROOM, and the probabiI-
ties are he visited the pantry after pub
tic dinners, and went after the corned
beef and cabbage in good old-fashioned
ooultry-man's style. Arthur is the
deal feeder of all the Presidents, his
manners and habits at the table being
correct in every respect. The contrast,
between him and Cleveland will be
marked indeed, provided, of course,
hat it is true that the President-elect
actually eats with his knife.
