PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The work of the engineering department
shows the relative increase over the preced-
ing year, but also shows that next years
work will be correspondingly much greater.

The total cost for sidewalks and grading
falls upon the city, and laying of sidewalks
and paving of streets fall upon property
owners. For grading sidewalks the city
paid SLY. 1856, and for laying the walks
the cost was run UP to 1888, 229. IS. The
paving was the lightest for four years and
cost but $44. 474. OF. Over five miles of
new work for 1887 have been ordered and
the estimated cost is STAG Of this
years work but two blocks were paved with
granite and the rest with cedar block. The
cost of curb and gutter was SAT. S67.6S, but
for 1887 the estimated cost of work will be

A NOVEL CANVASS.

It is a novel if not lively political
campaign that they are having IN Ten
nessee for the goYernorship. One Tay
Tor brother is the Democratic
nominee and the other is the
Republican; both are good takers
and theyl fiddle moderately well.
The Democrat said when they started
in: "Those who expect personalities
during the canvass win be mistaken.
love my brother as man should love
his brother. It will not be a battle Of
brother against brother. It Will lie a
battle 0; ideas, contest Of principles, a
battle Of thoughts" The Republican
declared that the sentiments expressed
b. his brother were his own, and that
so far as he was concerned there should
be no name calling and no PERSONAL
ties. The result is that the campaign is
running along smoothly, and with
much sweet music. The brothers have
together canvassed the mountain re-
gion with their fddles, the two playing
together until the crowd assemblies,
when one delivers his address; then
there is more fddling, and the other
presents his claim for recognition. 1t is
certainly a novelty to have campaign
conducted without personal abuse of
the candidates. Either the Taylors are
men of great resource, or else their eff
forts to entertain their audiences must
be dreary-enough. 1t takes good deal
of statesman nowadays to advocatc
himself and his party without abusing
his opponent and denouncing the OPP
position party. The arguments of tie
average candidate for Office are made
up largely Of personalities; indeed, the
rule is so well established thatmost peo-
! lie have come to regard the loudest
abuse of the other fellow as evidence OF
the broadest and ablest craftsmanship

life or yigor, but even under the
hands of the executors, displays
q yigor and q calmness that is
extremely annoying to those watch
ing for the signs of departing
life. The government is finding out
how hard q thing it is to execute laws
where the sentiment of the people does
not support it. And from the specta-
Gle presei ved in Utah, all the States
and the general government may learn
the value OF our local governments, and
the evils arising from having a central
power passing laws for a local commu-
nifty with distinct interests from other
communities. And how, when the
Spirit of our republican institution is
violated it results IN outrage to the
people, and yexation to the govern
ment. All this Utah trouble arises
from the fact that the wrong methods
have been employed to crush out Nor
monism. Better progress could have
been made against Normonlsm, by
waiting until, through contact with the
world and its institutions, plural MAJ
riages had become simply announcement
according to the ideas of the Mormon
people themselves, and they would
have corrected the evil if such it be, and
would doubtless have adopted the
methods for sexual qualification that
are in vogue IN the world. But now all
the frenzy of religious zeal is aroused,
and the end of the controversy no man
knows. ' --

W0MAN SUFFRAGE,

Americans are given to loud Boosting
of their political liberty and of their
generosity to individual members of so
ciety, but it begins to look as if Great
Britain were going to lead this country
in comforting the ballet on women
The bill allowing women to vote for
members Of the House of Commons
had so many friends and advocates in
the last Parliament that it almost be-
came law, and if is said that the present
Parliament Is better disposed towards
the measure than late one was. The
Parnellites are advocates of woman
suffrage, and strange as it may appear,
the Tories ar better disposed towards
the principle than the Liberals, the OBJ
position to the bill having GENE chiefly
from Gladstone's followers.
Whether or not woman suffrage will
result in benefit to the sex or good to
the country, can only be known after it
has been tried; bus there can no longer
be a reasonable doubt that in the near
future women will have the right to
vote equally with men. Such rapid
progress has been made during the
past few years in the enlargement
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-09-22

of woman's social and political
prerogatives, as to make 1t a matter OF
absolute certainty that within short
time their claim TO the privilege of
voting will be conceded by all nations
claiming to be progressive and en-
Iightened. and when it has been con-
coded the wonder viii be that the
ballot was denied the sex during all the
ages. Il will be rather humiliating to
Americans if Great Britain, which has
hitherto been far behind us in the
matter of comforting the franchise.
shall lead in giving women the ballot.

This recurrence of shocks is calculated
to retard the rebuilding of the city on

out OF her ashes, she must stop shak-
Ing, or capital will be afraid to risk its

Yesterday during the progress of the
Bergstrom case, a HERALD reporter
counted no less than twenty young
girls, evidently between the ages of Is
and Is years, VINO were mixed in among
the spectators. 1t occurs to us that
some method should be adopted to ex-
clude girls and youths also from the
room during the trials OF these cases.
1t may be that it is necessary to deIve
deep into. the private affairs of the de-
PENDANTS, and 1t may also be necessary
1 T The prosecutor to remind The iurv
OF certain fixed and unalterable laws of
nature. but no reason can be assigned
why girls and youths of the age men
toned above should be allowed to listen
to that line of argument. If the chill
dren are needed. as witnesses, let them
remain IN the court room only so long
as may be necessary in order to obtain
their testimony, and if their presence is
not required for that purpose exclude
them altogether.

Is 1T MERE PRETENsE?

Mr.. Gladstone again thinks it neces-
sary FOR HIN to deny the rumor that he
is to join the Roman Catholic church in
the near future. While we understand
that he makes the denial because of
political considerations, still it dOesn I
speak much for the dignity of indie
pendent manhood supposed 10 be
possessed by leading men in this age;
nor for that spirit of federation that is
supposed to be a characteristic of the
times. After all is not the boasted tol
Grafton between fhe Christian sects
more OF pretense than anything else?
Surely it would seem so, when mere
rumors that man is going to connect
himself with 6 certain sect or religion,
supposed to be a branch Of the great
Christian church, frightens a man like
Gladstone into making q denial of such
JUNIOR. The world has not made much
progress asyet in the matter of religious
oleration.

A WOOL GROWER OBJECTS.
To the Profits Alleged to be Made
by MiddIemen.
To the Editor OF The HERALD.

To the EulLOE OF 1HE HERALD.
From recent articles that have APP
peared in THE HERALD, wool buyers
seem to be somewhat exercised over the
action taken by the wool growers il
organizing for mutual protection, and
well they may, for in union there is
strength and the strength OF the wool
growers OF Utah will no doubt be detu-
mental to the pocket of midd,emen.
The wool growers of Utah have been
aware for long time that they have
built up many men who can build large
warehouses, buy presses, fast horses,
fine buggies, etc., who perhaps before
embarking in the wool business were
unable to raise $1,000 on their own
resources. And the wool growers have
naturally come to the conclusion that il
is foolish to pay men large sums to
do business which they are capable Of
doing themselves; therefore. they have
organized and propose doing their
own business, that whatever profit
there IS In it they may have it.
In the articles referred to there is q
profit OF only cent per pound for buy
ing and handling wool. Of course those
OF US who are posted will take that
statement with large grain of salt, but
allowing it 20 be true the DroftOn OOO,-
600 pounds, the amount shipped
this year from Utah, makes $4,000
protr, nice little sum which NAV as
well stay In the pockets of the men that
aise the wool. n ", il we multi
ply this profit by four, which according
to our belief, is nearer the mark, we
have key to the fast DEVELOPMENTS
made by wool dealers generally.
Again in the buying and selling OF
WOOL IN Utah, there are several firms en-
gagged, which might all beSdone BY one,
and the several times duplicated ex-
pense be saved to the profit and interest
Of the wool grower
. The Wool Growers Association Of
Southern Utah is now in existence aud
proposes TO do square business in the
interests OF wool growers, so that out
side OF actual expense necessary to
carry on the organization, whatever
profit is now made by middlemen Will
go into the pocket Jf the wool grower,
and, of course, the books will tell every
member of that organization what that
profit IS, something which is now hard
for wool growers to ascertain, from the
fact that the mi5dleman is under no
obligation to tell the wool grower what
he makes out OF him.

CLIMATE AND THE REPUBLIC.

If the Spanish were capable o.
managing a republic, if a republic
could exist in Spain and entertain anv
respect for itself and command any
respect abroad, one could wish that.a
lrevolution might succeed, and the
monarchy be oVerthrown. Within the
momory of this generation, they have
had nc stable government in Spain. Ii
would bothsr one to tell the number of
| revolutions that have occurred during
the past half centuary, and while a good
| many Of them have succeeded in over
throwing the government none has
been followed by the Enlistment of
authority that was regarded as stable
and lasting. The republic which ext tea
a few years.ago was the veriest farce; it
excited the contempt of all Europe, and
the thought of it disgusted the people
of this country who are. presumed to
know something about republican
principles and practices. To-day there
are fully dozen ex-kings, ex-quesns
and claimants of the throne of Spain
and there isn't one of them equal to
the business of governing a sober,
quiet laW-abiding community, much
less nation made up of those who
are never so happy as when
they are conspiring against consti-
tuSed authority, and plotting against
the lives Of their rulers.

In the western world also, republics are

which is an empire. Chilli is prosperous
and progressive for the time, bat no
body can tell The day or the hour when
there will be a general overturning of
things. The other republics scattered
over The continent and covering Central
America, are so fruitful of revolutions
that the people lie down under one ban

whose flag they shall carry in order to
be loyal. Mexico is struggling hard to

find that about one-tenth of the Bible
