WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. IA move
ment in the direction of limiting the politi-
cal rights of newly arrived immigrants,
originating among naturalized citizens, is
certainly unusual enough to attract wide at
tention. Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, has re
ceived memorial from the German Aid
society, of Milwaukee. for an act SO super
cedinc the laws of Wisconsin and some other
states as to restrict the right to vote to fully
naturalized citizens. The memorial says the
people is still far from being nation be
cause the varied population has not had time
to crystalize 1t therefore recommends a
uniform law giving the right to vote only
to those who have been five years in THE
country

The Washington correspondent of thu
New York Herald reports a Senator as
saying to him: "Oh, don't go for open
sessions about appointments. You
don't know what. you are doing. The
thing is too fIthy-we Senators have
often had to hold our noses TO keep from
getting sick at the stomach in execU-
tive sessions. Don't, for heavens sake,
askto have this whole load OF dirt dumped
on the public" Whatever the Senator
may have thought of the matter, he IN
Willingly made an excellent argument
in favor of throwing open the doors and
letting the country hear all that
is said for and against nominees, and BY
whom it is said. If men are nominated
who are so odorous as to cause the Sc
majors 10 hold their noses when dis.
cussing their characters, who has q bet
ter right to know these men and also To
know upon whose votes they are con-
firmed, than the people2 That a good
many such men get into office is a fact
which VIII not be denied, and they could
notget there if these Senators Who have
to hold their noses did their duty to the
country, which they weuld be more ant
to do If they we're compelled to plac
themselves on record. The Senate is
more responsible than the President
himself for bad men getting into
office, The President perhaps knows
one man in a thousand of those
ne appoints; as to the others he
Is compelled to accept the words of
their personal friends. The Senate. on
the other hand, can readily get at the
facts, but in many instances it asks no
more than that the Senator from whose
State the appointee halls will not |
oppose the man. 1t is rare indeed that
nomination is rejected when the
Senator from the candidates State does
not oppose the confirmation; and it is
more rare that nominee is confirmed.

even after the Grand Jury has failed to
verify the Judges allegations the harm
done by the charge will not be undone.
We will see that newspapers throughout
the country will take the matter up,

its whole duty to the people of the dis

THE EQUALIZATION BILL.

1t is to be regretted that the House
on Thursday, refused to pass the
Council bill providing for Territorial
Board of Equalization of assessment OF
taxes. It cannot be conceived that q
good and valid objection to the creation
Of such board can be presented, hence
the inability to understand why the
bill should have been killed. Our
present tax law is simply monstrous in
the injustice that it permits and
actually works. If taxation is not
equitable. bearing evenly and equally
upon every member of the community
interested in or benefited by it, it is
tyrannous and akin to robbery. twill
hardly be commended that taxation in
Utah falls equitably upon all; that
each member of the community and
every county bears his or its due pro-
portion. The people of Salt Lake
County are taxed more heavily
than those of any other county. This
would be all proper and right enough
ii the taxes assessed and collected here
were expended in this county, but this
is not the case. As shown by the Au-
Gitor's report. certain populous and
prosperous counties draw from the Ter
ritorial treasury for school purposes
more than their entire Territorial tax,
while Salt Lake draws for its schools
about one-fourth of the sum that it
pays for taxes. The manifest injustice
applies to several other counties,
though perhaps less severely.
The Board of Equalization would
simply see that the public burden was
borne fairly by all that one country was
aot permitted to shift its load to the
shoulders of others. If it be aims that
certain counties want, let them say so,
md doubtless Salt Lake, Box Elder
Morgan, and perhaps one or two Others
hat are overtaxed, will respond cheer
ully; but do not compel this charity |
nd accept it as matter OF right and
lstice.
We sincerely hope the House will
escind its action of Thursday, and pass

Murray cannot, as governor, con-
sstently with the course that he
has marked out for himself, ap-
prove the bill, and he certainly
cannot, consistently with his action as
q member of the Asylum Board, veto it.
Hence the awkwardness of the situa-
on before him. In his dilemma, THE
HERALD respectfully refers His Excel
lency to a scene in the Mikado. When
Koko wanted an expensive wedding
festival to be paid for out of the public
fund. he took First Lord of the Trea-
sury Poob-Bah out of the hearing of
Lord Chief Justice Pooh-Bah. Insane
Board Director Murray should get Gov
ernor Murray off in a corner and labor
with him.

WAGNER AND HlS;ecHOOL.
Aims OF tho Great Com poser ID

"A inns OF the Great Cora poser Discussed
by n Clergyman.
The appearance in this world Of Richard
Wagner was. the greatest event in art
since that Of Beethoven. Yet dislike to
vsy this; for it Is not right to cheaper
peoples reputation by comparisons. At
any rate we must allow that his birth,
even In that glorious intellectual era, the
beginning of this century, was, u great
event for the cause Of truth. His usrra-
tions were certainly higher than Bee
thoven's, but he may not have attained
them so well. Beethoven WAS simply an
intense musician, whi.e Wagner was also
poet, philosopher, poli' .c''.' cevol,,tionst,
and stage manager H. 49, early i'll lite
that he had an importu&. ,.a'1, anil, again
like men of genius, he was called Ivy his
friends an enthusiast 1es.d II dreamer
Though he could not see clearly to what
he WAS coming, yet he always kept up All
advance. He felt that hs had to put:
down the barriers of custom, and strike
ont on his education by himself So he
lived and grew, but had no teacher, save
art, nature, and himself. Gradually it
daw1led upon his mint that all this edu-
cation was principally to aid him to ex-
press what lay within. Consequently, q
love Of Shakespeare above all others took
possession Of his mind and expanded It.
In shakespeare character he felt the best
particularizatiopo of expression was before
him. After diigent study Of our great
English poet, he thought himself ready to
write a drama Consequently one ap-
peared--a very horrible one, too, in which
forty-two of the characters were killed be-
fore the fourth act, and had to appear as
ghosts to fulfil the theme of the drama.
Naturally Wagner was dissatisfied with
this. He had experimental on individual
life, and now advanced to life lis a whole.
He would not be confined by theatres.
His instincts led him to the free clinnes of
Greece and her open skies. A study Of
her people, her art, her literature, occupied
his mind; and finally he found his ideals

tions. In this way the form of the Wag-
merriam opera came about. Now the ltal-
ian opera seeks to give pleasure without
considering the means. It is thoroughly
artificial. 1t made little attempt and had
NO success in delineattng human feelings.
Under Wagner music became agar, ns,tu,
raj, and for the: first time gave 50 s1lcient
expression, in the most beautiful a the
arts, to the speech and thought of human
beings. Such vera the aims Of the Wag
merriam school, and believe it has at
tanned them."-[Rev.' Fl. r. Heweis, d
