ing characteristic of the American race.
He checked his gripsack to Lansing
and it was lost. whereupon he kicked
up a big row, swore at the railroad
company, and put in sworn lost bag
gage claim for $3.50 for the contents
and $40 for. the inconvenience. A fur
ther search was made for the grip and
it was found, the contents being two
old butcher knives and a dozen cloth
aprons, the whole worth perhaps o dol
lar. IEwould be peculiar man who
wouldn't take advantage of railroad

who wouldn't raise row if a railroad
company unwittingly injured him in

THE SALT PALACE SCHEME.
The Idea FavOrably Received In
Some Quarters.

The idea of erecting a salt palace,
mention of which was made in The
HERALD of yesterday, occasioned con-
siderable talk On the streets yesterday.
Some looked upon the idea as being a
good one; others regard it as being
rather visionary. The great query was,
Of what can it be built, in order to OBJ
tain the best effects. E. E. Rich, gen
tleman who has had many years ex-
perience in the salt industry, was seen.
He thought the scheme was good one.
The idea of using rock salt was,
however, out of the question, because
of its great cost. The nearest beds
of any ma gnitude are located in Red
mond, Sewer County, and the salt costs
S. per ton OG board the cars at Juab.
There is another deposit of rock salt in
Utah, near the Nevada line, which is as
clear as crystal and would produce a
most charming effect. This, however,
for reasons eimiiar to those given
above, cannot be used. 1.-The question,
then" said Mr.. Rich, sis how can
good display be made at compare
lively small expense? II the palace
were built of lumber ,fthe boards could
be crystalliz9d half an inch thick in
couple of weeks during the summer
season. The objection to this, however,
Is that every inch would have to hs cut
aud fitted before the lumber was
introduced into the lak3, and
the building would Necessarily have
to be put together With screws. This
would be rather too expensive. see
no reason, howeve., why the palace
could not first be built of lumber or
some other li.dt material, and then
crystsllized inside and out in a manner
similar to that by which a lumber fence
is made to assume stone-like appear
ance. This would be comparatively
cheap, and think a most excellent
effect could easily be obtained"
But how about its durability, would
it last a year, or even six months?"
Inside, yes, outside, no. The dust
would soon play havoc with the ex-
terror, and the first good rain would
forever ruin it, unless some means
were devised whereby the dust and rain
could be avoided"
Colonel Sells was also seen. He said
Jennings and he had discussed the
scheme while at the Corn Palace in
Iowa, and had looked upon the plan as
quite feasible.
Others thought that, as a private
enterprise. there was money in it.

ADAM FoREPAUGH, the veteran show
man, is not only close political OBJ
server, but a staunch Democrat. The
other day he said to reporter of the
Philadelphia Times: 81 have wagered
about $4,000 on Cleveland. The last
bet of $1,000 was made on Saturday. 1
have been travelling about all over the
country for the past six months, and
have had better opportunity to study
the political situation all over the couu-
try than people who are settled in one
place. 1 wouldn't risk $4,000 on Cleve-
land if hadn't pretty good reasons for
believing that was going to win"

THE MORE Bob. Ingersoll thinks OF the
unceremonious manner in which he was
bounced from the Republican stump
for standing on the Republican plat
form, free whisky and all, the madden
he gets. 1t is said he sometimes con-
templates speaking against Harrison
whom he regards as responsible for
taking him out of the campaign. The
eloquent Bob. must be made to under
stand that in order to be faithful Re-
pablicau a man must be both obedient
and inconsistent.

A TERRITORIAL REQUEST.

In his annual report, synopsis of
which appeared in Wednesdays HER
AID, Governor Stevenson. of Idaho, re-
commends that the people OF the Terri
tories be given the right to vote for
President and Vice President of the
United States. We assume that the
Governor did this because he is a
Democrat and thinks it proper that cit
liens should enjoy all their rights
wherever they may reside, and ought
not to be disfranchised by crossing the
line which separates a State from
Territory. But how would the Coy
ernor get at the matter2 Before his
suggestion could be adopted. the Ter
ritorial system would have to
be remodeled, if not abolished,
and the national electoral sys-
tenn radically changed. two things
which are not at all likely to
be done in the near future, if ever. If
the President we're elected by popular
vote, it would be easy enough to get at
the matter and let the people of the
Territories have voice in the selec-
ton of the nations chief magistrate.
But while the President is chosen by
the electoral college, there will be no
likelihood of the Territories being heard
in the matter, for it is out of the ques-
ton that these will be admitted 10 the
college.
The way to get at this business is to
abolish the Territories outright by erect
ing them into States. With one or
perhaps two exceptions the Deepen
denotes no longer need the helping hand
OF the Federal government. They are
able to care for themselves, having
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-10-18

passed beyond the period OF babyhood
and acquired the strength and ability to
maintain State governments unassisted
from Washington. Only Wyoming
would confess inability or unwilling
ness to accept Statehood with all the
moral and financial responsibility that
it implies; and all the other Territories
are much more able to carry on State
governments than some of the present
States.
1t is wrong in every respect to dis
franchise the citizens of the Territories,
but we expect these oppressed people
Will have to submit to the outrage.
