equivalent to tax of So per capita on
those taxpayers, and by the time all the
officers were appointed that would be
necessary TO investigate the accounts OF
thirty-nine States and ten Territories,
affected by the bill, it would be found
that the tax per capita would be $40 in
stead OF SO. II the United States Sena-
tors were men who plowed the fields, or
worked as smiths and paid the taxes out
of the sweat Of their brows, Mr.. Morgan
could have more respect for them when
voting away the money of one man to
educate the children Of another. Then
the constitional ground for the bill, Mr..
Morgan continued, was said to be found
in the general welfare clause of the pre-
amble to the constitution. Such an APP
plication OF that clause simply meant
that you could put down man that got
up by his own exertions in order to put
up drunken loafer that would not exert
himself. Mr.. Morgan characterized Mr..
Blair's idea as one involving the right OF
Congress to educate children OF several
States without the consent OF the States.
Mr.. Blair interposed to say that he re-
garded the primary duty of education to
rest on the parents; but inasmuch as
education was indispensable to the exist
ence of free government, If the parents,
whether from inability or dsinclination
failed in the performance of their duty,
that duty fell to the States and on our
Republic, ii the State proper and
parent both fail to educate the child,
since the child would be citizen not
only of the State but of the United States.
This, however, was power that should
be exercised only in the last resort.
After some further discussion, Mr..
Morgan yielded for an Executive session,
after which the Senate adjourned until
Monday.

GERMANY LIKEWISE.
The following significant dispatch was
printed in the DEMOCRAT last evening:

The following significant dispatch was
printed in the DEMOCRAT last evening:
LONDON, February ia Reuter- telegram
from Berlin states that motion introduced
in the Reichstag by Herr Hume in behalf of
the Conservatives, urging new and search
ing inquiry into the currency question, with
view to ascertaining whether it would be
better to adhere to mono -metallism or to re-
turn to the double standard, WAS adopted
to-day by vote OF 145 to l19.
1t begins to look as though the states
men of the German Empire had received
revelation on the subject OF b-metal-
lism. In 1871, the coinage act which
committed Prussia to gold standard was
passed, the act providing for the with
drawal OF all existing silver coins and the
eventual demonetization of that
metal except for subsidiary pur-
poses. Thirteen years under gold
standard have passed, and now the
legislators OF the German EN-
pire begin to doubt the wisdom OF forcing
silver from its legitimate sphere in the
monetary system OF the world, and are
anxious that "new and searching inquir-
les into the currency question" should be
made, with a view to ascertaining whether
it would be better to adhere TO mono
metallisn or to return to the double
standard.
1t is evident from this that Germany
senses the mistake she made in this mat
ter thirteen years ago, and will now make
an effort to return to the bi-metallic
standard. To accomplish this will be no
easy task, for Germany, like England, is
afflicted with powerful class of usurers
and money-mongers, who, in the event
OF such legislation, would to great ex-
tent find their occupation gone. Hence
they will solidly oppose return to the
double standard, and by all the means in
their power, legitimate and illegitimate,
will endeavor to keep the country on q
gold basis. In this they will doubtless
receive substantial aid and assistance
from their fellow-usurers in England,
for should Germany conclude to restore
silver to the position it formerly occupied
in the monetary system OF the Empire,
who can tell what the effect might be on
England?
Truly, the silver lining to this cloud
begins to show its splendors to the world

IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

The recent riots in London at one time
gave promise OF being brought to an end
only after severe struggle between the
military forces and the rioters, and the
loss OF many lives. Happily, the trouble
feared was averted, and peace again
reigns in the metropolis OF the world.
Whoever or whatever may have been
the immediate cause OF precepitating
these riots, there can be no doubt that
the suffering OF the masses for the neces-
saries of life was AT the bottom of
the outbreak. As we have before
stated, there must be something
radically wrong in the governmental
system of country under which
such a thing as actual suffering among
the masses, because OF enforced idleness,
becomes possible,

A Measure That VIII Affect Utah

United Kingdom, we think, may be
traced to the manner in which land is
withheld from acquisition by the people,
save under rental. Here are some
figures upon this subject, showing to
what extent the lands of the United
Kingdom have been monopolized by So
called noblemen. After contemplating
the picture OF distress afforded by the
suffsrings of 10000 destitute souls in
the city of London alone, we look upon
another picture.
In the whole United Kingdom, eight
persons own more than 100000, acres
each, and no less than forty-one persons
own more than 100000 acres each. The
number of acres held by a few of the
largest owners are as follows:

compensation barely sufficient to provide
the coarsest OF food and raiment for

of there finding that employment which
will bring to them at least wages sufficient
to live on without stinting their stom-

the Chinese in this country must be pro-
tected from lawless violence, shows that
he is eminently well versed in the evils
OF Chinese immigration, and gives ground
for the hope that he will aid to the limit

leveled the thirteen inches of barrel at the
officer.
IF have to die. you'll die. too" he
sllrleked in German, as he placed his finger
on the trigger, and took deliberate aim at
the officer. Schutler, seeing his peril,
rushed upon his would-be murderer, and a
life and death struggle ensued. Lingg
fought with the
FURY OF A WILD BEAST,
and made repeated efforts to discharge the
weapon, the barrel of which was held by
the officer. The men rolled over and over,
upsetting tables. and chairs and rafting the
window-paneS in the room. While the
fight was 1iercest there was crash at
the front end of the cottage, and Officer
Lowenstein, who had heard the strug-
gle within and had burst open the
door, tumbled in out of the rain
and hurried to his comrades assistance.
The appearance OF the second officer made
Lingg delirious with rage. He shrieked
and cursed In his native tongue, and re-
fused to relax his grip ON the revolver
until Lowenstein seized him by the throat
and choked him until his face grew pur-
pie and red. The weapon, with its cyln-
der filled with huge bullets, was then
taken away from him and his wrists locked
together with pair of steel bracelets. Thus
pinioned, the two officers hurried their
prisoner to the Hinman street station. where
he was boosted into patrol wagon and
hurried off to the East Chicago Avenue
station.
II wouldn't care what they did with me if I
had only killed those two officers,' he said, as
he was being driven to cell. II tried to shoot
them, and am sorry didn't succeed
When the patrol wagon arrived at the
station house the prisoner was yanked off
his perch and thrown into a cell.

CHICAGO, May ia scare occurred
about II o'clock this forenoon in S. K.
Martins lumber yard, which spread to a
half dozen others in a few minutes. and
about 800 men rushed out of the yards and
began race for home. The cause of the
exodus was the report brought
to S. K. Martins men by
some women. that small army
of..stock yards butchers, armed with cleavers
and other implements of their trade were
marching toward the lumber district with
the avowed intention of slaughtering every
man who had gone to work. The rush of
the labOrerS to get out of the way of the
bloodthirsty butchers was mistaken by some
of the clerks in the offices, as the inaugu-
ration of another riot, and the Hinman slreet
police were called. The appearance of the
bluecoats made the fleeing workmen think
the pig killers were already on the spot and
they ran all the faster. Then some one
thought to ask what the fuss was about,
and upon learning the cause of the furry
called upon the men to halt and listen to
reason. When the falsity of the report
was established most of the men went back
to work, but about fifty got away, doubtless
never stopping until their homes were
reached.
