A TERRITORIAL FAIR.

There is some little talk about fair this
fall, but in all probability there will be
none as the season is already well ad-
vanced, and people to make any display
in any line should have ample time in
which to get their products for display
ready. One reason assigned by many
why there can be no fair this yea is be-
cause Governor Murray vetoed a bill
which the Legislature passed appropriat-
ing fifteen thousand dollars to the Deseret
Agricultural and Manufacturing Society.
Whatever may be the merits or demarits
of that Society, there is no more reason
for appropriating fifteen thousand dollars
out of the Territorial Treasury to aid it
in holding a fair than there would
be to appropriate the same amount to the
new race track management TO aid them
in holding a fall meeting. Every asso-
citation that is formed for the promotion
of agricultural or manufacturing enter
prises is deserving of all encouragement
by the public, but the encouragement
should not extend to the granting of
public funds to aid private undertakings
What more claim has the Deseret Agri-
cultural and Manufacturing Society upon
the public funds than any other society T?
But there is no reason why agricultural

GREAT BRITAIN has scored another vic
tory in China without spending a dollar
or losing man. Ry new treaty with
that nation the English will be allowed
to supply opium at reduced rates, and
under easier conditions, even to the re-
motest portions Of the Empire. In other
words, nearly all the restrictions which
the Chinese have heretofore thrown i'll
the way of the circulation OF the fatal
drug have been removed. The Chinese
are fully aware of its deadly influence,
but they are not proof against the per-
sistence of English greed for gold. Under
the new treaty the sale of the drug will
become so general that the poorest classes
will be able to indulge in its use, and the
whole Empire will become opiumized.
This is wonderful triumph of civiliza-
ton over barbarism, and the superiority
of Christianity to heathenism is again
fully vindicated.

son decided to put no ticket in the held
"because of the well-known impossiblllty
of securing at the polls an honest cleo
ton" 1t is rather strange that all OF
sudden the Republicans of Mississippi
should have reached the conclusion not
to put State ticket III the field on account
of the impossibility of securing an honest
election at the polls. Has any new dam
ger appeared in that State since last
March? This resolution is the same sort
of political trickery that made the ignor-
ant negroes of the South believe that were
a Democratic President to be elected the
negroes would be sent into slavery again.
The Tribune says that ''now there comes
from the State of the Secretary Of
the Interior the solemn resolution
of State executive committee,
declaring that it is impossible to secure
at the polls an honest election; that
in the sense of the committee it is useless
to call a convention or to nominate
ticket" Well, what of it? The proba-
bility is that the most solemn thing in
the whole affair is the resolution itself.
The National Republican Convention in
its Platform solemnly denounced "the
fraud and violence practiced by Democ-
racy in the Southern States by which the
will of the voter is defeated, as dangerous
to the preservation of free institutions,
and we solemnly arraign the Democratic
party as being the guilty recipient. Of the
fruits of such fraud and violence. 1t is
to be presumed that President Cleveland
cannot afford to ignore the resolution OF
the Chicago Convention. Certain it is
that no recent outrages have been re-
ported from Mississippi. The charge ofthe
Mississippi Republican State Executive
Committee is too general and too vague to
admit OF its being proven. The Tribune
sarcasticly says "we are told daily that
this is an Administration of reform, that
the people reinstated the Democratic
party 10 COiTeCG dDuSCS. IIldO 10 JOlSt
the kind of an Administration that is in
office, and it was put in Office to correct
abuses which had been brought about
through long years of Republican mis-
rule and irresponsibility. If the
present Democratic Administration
shall continue as faithful in the
discharge OF its duties in the future as il
has been in the past, all the "solemn re-
solutions" in the world will not cause the
people to withdraw from it their hearty
approval and sympathy, while the rule O
the Democratic party will be as long i
not longer than was that of the Republi
can party. In view of the "solemn reso
luton" OF the Mississippi Republicans We
would suggest that the Tribune write al
editorial defining what the duty of Demo
Gratis is in the premises.

TAMMANY HALL.

Tammany Hall has been calling upon
the State and Federal authorities for
complete redemption Of the pledges
which were given by the Democratic
party at the Presidential election last
year. Such a call from Tammany is
rather strange, and people will be in
clined to think that Tammany's call for
q redemption of the pledges which were
given last year means an abandonment
of honest government. The trouble with
some is largely owing to the fact that the
Administration is doing honestly what
the party pledgd itself to do last year.
Tammany is chiefly concerned on ac-
count of the adherence to Civil-Service
reform to which the party has been
pledged since 1872. To say that fixity OF
tenure in the Offices of the Government,
that is the clerical and purely admins
trative offices, has a tendency to estab-
lish caste and an aristocracy, and also TO
subvert free institutions, is pure nonsense.
The danger has been that the affairs and
offices of the Government have been
treated as spoils, to be divided the same
as the loot of victorious army. Even in
modern war the international rules gov
erning its conduct forbid nillage and the
giving of vanquished towns and pro-
vinces up to the plunder and spoilation of
tho NyintnriOnC fpoONC M nnllfI-
cal organization in the country
has so adhered to the doctrine
of permanency in office as Tammany;
but its adherence to this doctrine has
been for the purpose Of maintaining pol
itical workers and jobbers in office that
fat things might be given to the favored
few. Tammany in it's long control of
New York City has looked upon the rev.
enLe OF that city as legitimate plunder,
while Tweed and his gang were but the
natural outgrowth of Tammany's theories
and methods Tweed and his thieving
crew were exposed and punished under
a Democratic Governor of New York, q
J lldll NllO III ali was lilC hCl
tipodes of Tammany ways; we refer to
Samuel J. Tilden When the Tammany
delegation went to Chicago last year they
went there to oppose the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland, and went to oppose
him because he was hostile to their
theories and methods. After Mr.. Cleve-
land was nominated, Tammany sent him
a cold and most formal letter of congratu-
lation, but at the very time the letter was
sent it was generally believed throughout
the country that it was the determination
of Kelley and his crowd to knife Mr..
Cleveland, and they did knife him last
November. To see Tammanv Hall pass
ing resolutions demanding the redemp-
ton OF party pledges and asking for an eff
cient, capable and honest public service"
recalls the saying that the neither regions
are paved with good resolutions.

societies should not be protected ana
oiyen bounties as well as ship-builders OF
iron mongers; if it is just in the one case
II ouobt TO be in the other. Once intro
duce the theory and practice OF
protection and bounties to aid IN
digent undertakings, and there is
no reason why everything to which man
devotes his time and energies should not
receive legislative aid in one way or an
other. If protection is good for the whole
country it should be good for the indi-
yidual States, and there is no reason why
the great agricultural States, such as
Illinois. Iowa and others, should not levy
a tax upon the cotton and woolen fabrics
of Massachusetts and the New England
States. and the iron and coal OF Pennsyl-
vania as that Congress should impose
heavy tariff upon cotton and woolen fab
rics and iron and steel for the protection
of Massachusetts and the New England
States and Pennsylvania. The French
octroi is the logical and rightful conse-
auence of the doctrines OF protection. If
protection be carried to the extreme con-
clusion of which its premises admit, the
doctrines of State socialism must be adj
mitted. Bismarck's scheme OF State IN
surance for German workingmen was but
protection applied to the individual and
when Americans complained that Ger
many Disseminated unjustly against
American pork they forgot that Germany
but adopted their methods. If America
places a practically prohibitive tariff on
German goods, even to Nuremberg toys,
have we any cause for complaint because
Germany places like tariff on American
pork? If Germany chooses to assign as
a reason for her exclusion of our pork
that it is diseased, is it any worse than
the charge made by the protectionists
that European goods are manufactured
by pauper labor? Goring and being
gored are entirely different things.
There should be Territorial fair each
year, and county fairs as well, but the
people who exhibits and those who go to
sec the exhibits should defray the eX-
penses, and not the Territory. 1t is per-
tinent to ask why the Legislature does
not pass bills appropriating money to aid
in the formation of a new agricultural
and manufacturing society as we'll as to
be always propping up and pushing along
the D. A. & NJ. Society? The idea seems
to be prevalent throughout the Territory
that the D. A. & NJ. Society has a pre-
scriptive if not a divine right to hold fairs
and to receive appropriations from the
public funds that it may hold them, and
that for any one else to assume to hold a
fair and ask for aid out of the public
funds would be an act of oppression and
the invasion of Constitutional right.

A VISITOR to John Mccullough in the
asylum says that his likeness to his
"Virginius" in the mad scene is startling
and pitiful. He imagines that he is again
acting the part of the deranged Roman.
This is shown by his assumption of the
poses which he employed on the stage,
and his reproduction of the gait, facial
expression, and even snatches of the Ian
guage of the familiar prison scene.
