The Fire Alarm .

The present fire alarm of Ogden
seems to be very incomplete, in that the
public and even the firemen themselves
are frequently at loss to know where
to look for a fire when the alarm is
given. In case of a fire a very few
minutes delay in reaching it might
cause the loss Of thousands of dollars
worth Of property that might be saved
by prompt action. On Thursday night
last, TIE engines at the depot gave an
alarm of fire, which was taken up by
the Waterman in the tower. The alarm
was caused by a sleeper in the Central
Pacific yard catching fire and as the
flames were confined to the interior of
the car, they could not be seen from the
Fireman's Hall. The Waterman at that
place, however, saw some smoke and
flame issuing from the chimney of a
Main Street building and supposing that
to be the scene of the fire, directed the
firemen to that place. 1t is needless to
say that the hremen accomplished
nothing by responding to the alarm.
We would suggest that the city coun-
Gil have telephone put in at the Fire
man. Hall, to enable the Court House
Waterman to give the exact location of
any fire. so that the boys who first start
out with the fire apparatus need lose no
time in hunting for the blaze. Then
some simple signal should be adopted
that would enable the public and those
of the firemen who i've remotely from
the hall to locate a fire without diff
Guilty. The expense of the telephone
would be merely nominal, and all the
signal would cost would be its adoption.
Our fire department is good one for
a volunteer force, and has done some
splendid work at fires in the past. They
have suggested that their chief confer
with the city council and devise some
simple alarm signal, but the matter has
been neglected thus far Why delay
action longer2 Rather, we should
think, settle the question at once and
give the fremen these simple facilities
and the public this additional protec-
ton from the deVouring element.

Was 1t q Mistaken

Mr.. Phil. Ford claims that we did
him great injustice IN our article in
last Sundays HERALD, entitled, is he a
spotter?' He says that he has the ex-
elusive agency for the patent chair tidy
holder mentioned in our article, and
that although the price is very low, ne
has been able to make considerable
money by the sale of it. He further
says that he has an affection of the
heart and is unable to work at heavy
manual labor, land is consequently en-
gagged in the light occupation OF ped
ding as a means of obtaining q liYeli-
hood for himself and family, and that
his business is perfectly legitimate;
that he has not engaged in the business
of spOtting, or any other than that of
selling the little article; that. although
he had been member of the recent
Grand Jury, that he was no longer en-
gagged in any way In gathering evidence
against offenders against the law, and
that our suspicious on that point were
entirely wrong and did him great in
jury; and he further says that since the
appearance of our article last Sunday
his business has been completely de-
moralized and that people have shut
their doors in his face, refusing to admit
him to their premises. In regard to the
fact that he was selling without a
license Mr.. Ford says he was entirely
ignorant that the city ordinance re-
quired him to buy a license.
If we have done Mr.. Ford an injustice
we are very sorry. We would not
write a word that would injure the
legitimate business of any man for the
world. The public knowing Mr.. Ford's
past character and present business
caa Judge impartially whether or not
he is engaged in the despicabIe bust
ness of spotting.

THE NEVADA SENATORSHIP.

1t is not true that it was understood in
Nevada ii Il Republican Legislature was
elected that it would be n Stewart Legis-
lature. On the contrary there was not a
single Republican member OF the Legis-
lature elected in the State who before the
election declared himself in favor OF Mr..
Stewart for United States Senator. He
was not endorsed by single Republican
County Convention in the State. On the
other hand he was virtually repudiated
by number by the adoption OF the
"Home Rule" resolution. No one, not
a fool or a knave, will assert that without
the lavish expenditure OF money he could
have polled one thousand votes in the
State for the position for which he
isl candidate. 1t is false that his
friends claim that the money used in the
election was his own. They are not such
fools as to make 50 ridiculous an asser-
ton. 1t is as well known in Nevada that
Mr.. Stewart is the candidate OF the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, as it is in
Utah that Caine is the candidate OF the
Mormon Church. There was no attempt
to deny that fact, or that the election eX-
penses were betrayed mainly by the
Central Pacific and other railroad COM
panies, although it is generally conceded
that John w. Mackay was also Il
contributor to the fund, which
was variously estimated at from $3.50, 900
to $250,0O0. Now, so far as politics are
concerned, the DEMOCRAT does not care
a fig who is elected United States Sena-
tor in Nevada. The election OF Demo-
crat is impossible, and politically or per.
sonally, as among the Republican candi-
dates, we have no choice. Mr. Stewart
is unquestionably the ablest man among
them, and but for one consideration, this
paper would take no interest in the mat
ter. That the railroad companies sup
ported him is nothing TO us. That is the
affair Of the people OF Nevada who are
most directly interested. They have
elected non-residents to the Senate often
enough to indicate that they rather pre-
fer them to resident citizens. The Demo-
Graf has but one objection to Mr., Stew
art, and that is entirely local
one. Senator Stanford's attitude up
on the Mormon question is we'll
known. 1t is probably based upon
the business connection OF the
Central Pacific Railroad with this Terri
tory. Mr.. Stanford ia President OF the
company, to which Mr., Stewart will owe
his election, ii he is elected, This would
insure to the Mormon supporters in the
Senate another voice and vote, for it is
as certain that Mr.. Stewart would follow
his chief upon this question as it is that
John II. Caine would follow the drec-
ton OF John Taylor in casting his
vote, if he had one, in the Lower House.
If Mr.. Stewart was Democrat he would
be equally Objectionable TO us upon this
ground, and we would consider ourselves
dastardly traitorous to the loyal people Of

JOURNALISM.

Mr.. Pulitzer, the editor and owner OF
the N. Y. IVorid, who has brought that
paper from the quagmire OF bankruptcy
to the position of the most popular and
profitable journal in New York City, in
an interview with a Philadelphia Press
reporter in connection with journalism,
and in reply to the question, "Do you
concede much to the men engaged on Il
journal?" says:
Everything. paper can not make itself,
can it? | believe in engaging the best talent
and paying for it the highest price. Indeed,
believe that such policy, in the fierce
strife of competition that RACES, is the only
You can't get good men without paying fol
them. Without good men you can not get
good work. and without good work no paper
can prosper largely. The public has become
too expert at separating the bad from the
good. The day of making valuable journal
out of the labor of underpaid human riff f-ratl
has gone by. People want cheap papers,
but first of all they want them good. They
will not give a cent for what is worth only a
farthing.
It'll is seriously proposed by Eastern
wise men to establish departments in our
leading colleges for the education OF
journalists. AS we'll educate poets.
Journalists are born, not manufactured.
Innate tact and talent, not requirement,
constitute the foundation of the real
journalists triumph. Versatility, rather
than profundity Of knowledge, a knowl-
edge of men rather than OF books tend to
his success. First catch your hares and
then cook them, will apply to the jour
nalistic fraternity. The prominent jour
nalists OF the country, whether editorial
or reportorial, have been and are to the
manner born.
The boy who was corrected for whis-
ting in school, excused himself in that it
"whistled ITSELF" so the whistle OF a
born journalist will betray him, and no
coaching or classic cutting will convert a
water crystal into diamond OF the first
water. OF course, SO you don't overload
the intellectual stomach, the more OF
useful knowledge you can inject into a
newspaper man the better. But remem-
Der that he graduates in his profession
only at the open grave, and that he is an
active learner every day OF his working
life

UNPRODUCTIVE CAPITAL.

There is an immense amount oi idle
capital in the world. And it increases in
volume as business languishes and "hard
times" prevail. Indeed, the boarding
and accumulation Of money is the mov-
ing cause of hard times. Large accumu-
lations OF idle capital in few hands, rather
than lover production" in the various
branches OF legitimate industry, is the
milestone which hangs about the neck OF
willing and energetic enterprise. Let a
man by inheritance, by business enter
prise, or by rascaly ventures, become
wealthy, and nine cases out OF ten he
looks about for investments that will en-
able him TO run no risks, to take
advantage of mems necessities to avoid
taxation and all share in the burdens
and risks of productive industry i in
short, to become drone, and to put his
large capital where it will do the least
good to his fellow men. If the rusty
dollars and brains of retired" or selfish
millonaires were pressed into active
| business service, how would stagnation,
poverty and wretchedness disappear.
Work, business, push! the calling
into play of every dollar and every fac
ulty OF body and mind in productive
ways is the crying want OF the
times. Men would be healthier,
wealthier, happier and longer-lived
if they would leave the crowded ranks oI
consumers and enter the army of workers
and producers. The Gospel of Nam
mon," so far as it relates to the creation
of wealth by honest industry and legiti
mate business, is far more worthy of ac
ceptation than the gospel of laziness, gen
teel or otherwise.
One OF the most desirable objects o
the times is to break down and scatter tC
the winds the disreputable hiding g-place'
of capital. In this country the Nation
extremity was made the opportunity TO
:. skulking capital to fatten on the hart
earnings of the people, while the capitals
obtains exemption from his share of tn
burdens and taxation OF the State. TIL
untaxed bonds Of the United States ful
nish hiding place for idle and migrate
ful capital. The men or political partie
! that would perpetuate the nations deb
, in the shape OF untaxed bonds one da
/, longer than is absolutely necessary, al
, enemies of the people. All grants an
monopolies which absorb capital withou
corresponding productive returns to tn
:, common treasury of the whole people
>, should, by strictest construction OF la
:, and equity, be shorn of special privilege
:, and be made to harmonize with the con
mon good. Radical movements in tn
political world, carried to extremes
~, may be, are to be welcomed as indies
i, tions that the people are becoming re
- tive under the exactions OF unproducti'
-, capital and the abuses of monopoly.

CASSIDY is temporarily occupying the
editorial tripod of the Eureka New Sem
tinel, of which he is half owner. Although
downed in the campaign for United
States Senator, he is having lots OF fun in
the supplemental proceedings. He orig
mated shibboleth in the Democratic
State Convention, "fIome Rule for Ne
vada," which will eventually carry him
into the Senate As it was and is, he
has aroused an opposition to MIR. Stewart,
the Republican California candidate, lit
tie anticipated by the moneyed, hackers oi
| that gentleman. The chances are that
the sack will have to be brought again
into requstion in the Legislature to re-
concie the consciences of number oi
the Republican party who were elected
by the Stewart corporation fund. The
Democratic members are disposed tc
ioin with the CLONE Rule" Republicans
in the election Of bona fde Republican
resident Of the State. Although its dol
lars to doughnuts that the sack takes the
pool, George is making it very expensive
for the putters-up who imagined that thei
troubles were ended with the election o

INTERNAL REVENUE.

The Commissioner OF Internal Reve-
nue. has submitted his report to the Sec
retary OF the Treasury. 1t shows that
the total receipts from all sources OF inter
nal revenue taxation for the fiscal year
were SIG, 1863. The receipts for 1888
were SIP, ,42l ,l2l for 1884, l2l ,59O,O39; :;
for 1888, 4,533, ,344, and ior the year
1882, $l46, ,273. In 1884 the revenue
tax on many articles was abolished, and
it was reduced on others, which accounts
for the great falling off in the receipts in
1885 and 1885, as compared with 1888 and
1882. For the last fiscal year there has
been an increase OF about $4 800 600 over
the receipts OF tine year 1885, the princi-
pal increase being in cigars and spirits.

SENATOR EDMuNDs letter OF explana-
ton which appeared in yesterdays DEM
ocRAr contains nothing which was not
generally known before the last Presi-

support him, while his strong party feel

election of a Democrat-hence he re-
NAMED neutral The assertion OF the
Senator that he did the "best thing fol

THE LECTURE LAST NIGHT.

The public arraignment OF the Mormon
system by Mr.. j. b. Stoddard last night,
at the Federal Court House, in this CITY,
was significant For a quarter OF CEN
tury Mr.. Stoddard as boy and man, has
been familiar with the inside workings OF
Mormonsm. His portrayal OF its salient
points increases ones detestation OF the
system, until there is danger that we do
Injustice to its victims. If ever scheme
was dovetaied together in the workshop
of the bottomless pit, it is the cum
nngly devised one which has hitherto
ruled, and well nigh ruined, Utah.
But outside of the few score leaders pos
sessed of the devil, and the swinish herd,
successors to those who considerably
drowned themselves in the Sea OF Cali
lee, who indulge in beastliness, large
portion of the more intelligent Mormons
are "honest in heart" and once relieved
from the sway of their bedeviled leaders,
would make desirable community.
As the crisis evidently draws nigh
of radiance from their boasted
"kingdom's" political power, it is
the more needful that we Disseminate be-
tween the people and the system in which
they are enmeshed. In disiranchisine
them for their own good, let us do them
Justice so far as truth requires. 1t IL
the greatest favor to them to with
hold political power from the prlestly
ring that wields it for disloyal
purposes and for the enslavement of thu
rank and file of their own fraternity
Surely many other young men will break
away from priestly rule and join with Mr.
Stoddard in exposing the blasphemies
the atrocities and the disloyalty of thu
dominant church in Utah. At the SAM
time they will stand faithfully by thei
friends and kindred and pilot then
through the red sea to freedom OF ind
vidual thought, and the exercise OF loN
ing loyalty to our common country. Th
hope of this grand Territory is a repent
ant and reformed people, whose farm
and homes beautify our valleys, an
whose sons and daughters may be relic
on to strike hands with incoming loya
citizens, and to fill official places n
their numerical proportion may dictate
1t is the duty and privilege OF MI
Stoddard and men like him, identified b
birth and kindred with the early settler
OF Utah, to labor steadily, PERSISTENT
and lovingly for the redemption OF thj
Territory, The ball has been set in IN
ton. Keep it rolling by placing j. l
Stoddard, j. l.. Rawlins, j. NJ. Your
and others like them in the field and wit
repressive law and kindly gospel turn IL
Mormons from the error OF their way
and cause Utah to bud and blossom t
the rose.

BONANZA FLOOD is spoken OF as cam
didate for United States Senator in Cali
fornia. His money is his only recon-
mendation, and as he has no claim upon
the party by having contributed even
pecuniary aid in the campaign, it is diff
cult to conceive upon what ground his
candidacy is based. George Hearst, on
the contrary, took an active part in the
contest, giving his personal efforts and
contributing his means freely towards
achieving the Democratic victory in the
State, as he had often done before when
not himself candidate. Ii such claims
are to be considered, certainly Nj. Hearst
is entitled to the prize.

The cost of collection was $4 ,2S9, ,485, a
little over three and half per cent. OF
the amount collected.
The Commissioner estimates the re-
ceipts for the present fiscal year, which
commenced July 1st, at $4,000, 900, the
receipts for the first quarter being $685.

Commissioner says his Office was much
embarrassed by the new source OF reve-
nue., oleomargarine, in consequence OF
the entire absence OF any statistical in
formation as to the quantity manufac'
tured and the number OF factories en-
gagged in its production.
