WASHINGTON, October 27.-[Special to
The HERALD. The annual report
Governor West, of the Territory OF
Utah, was made public to-day. 1t is
as follows:
The census in the year 1880 gave to
Utah a population of 143 1868. 1t
is now estimated that we have a
population of about 210 900 and
have an assessed taxable valuation of
SAG, 379, 073, an increase of about Q even
millions over last year. No reports
from Emery, Willard, Sanpete and
Sewer Counties have been received for
the present year; their assessed valua-
ton is gwen at last years figures.
POPULATION AND ASSESSED VALUATION BY
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-10-28

The population, as shown by the
census of 1888, consisted of 1869
natives (of whom 80,84l were born in
Utah) and of 43 1874 foreign born. Eng
land, Denmark, Sweden, Scotland,
Wales, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland,
Canada, and the German Empire
contributed in the order named to the
foreign-born population; England
furnishing nearly one-half.
The foreign population has been in
creased since 1880 by Mormon emigra-
ton, chiefly English and Scandinavian,

COMMERCE OF UTAH.
Tue past year has been one of pro-
gress and prosperity for the Territory.
The organic alton of the business men
in our chief cities, regardless of relig
ious or political opinions for the con-
servation of their interests, and the
material development of the Territory
has been productive of much good in
the creation of new, and inspiring of
additional vigor and life into old enter
prises, Movements inaugurated and
carried forward By these associations
for the spread of information as to the
advantages and resources of the Terri
tory have met with gratifying success,
inducing the incoming of many desir-
able citizens and much new capital.
Especially notable is the ad ,ance made
in the cities of Salt Lake and Og1en,
where building has been, and is, going
forward, giving steady and constant
employment both to common and
skilled labor at remunerative wages.
There has been a healthy activity and
steady growth of the commerce and
trade of the Territory.
The railroad traffic, both passenger
and freight shows an increase OF at
least % per cent. over last year.

Notwithstanding the severe winter
cattle throughout the Territory did
well except upon the line of the Central
Pacific Road, where considerable losses
occurred, by reason of short pasturage.
Quite an unusual percentage OF sheep
was lost in the northern part of the
Territory, and it is estimated that the
loss averaging the whole Territory, was
double what it has been in sixteen
years, reaching fully per cent. TIE

ton.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The Republican
club OF the city of New YORK held 8
special meeting last night with 200 men,
bers present to consider lengthy report
from it's committee on national affairs
on the nomination Of Secretary Lamar to
the Supreme court bench. Resolutions
were passed deprecating his nomination
and saying: "Our opposition to MIR.
Lamar is not due to the fact that he is a
southerner, or was identified with the
late rebellion. We do not oppose him on
any political grounds. We base our
opposition on the fact that he is not in
sympathy with the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments to the con-
stitution of the United States, not
withstanding his declaration to
the contrary. His political actions in
Mississippi eince the war demonstrate
that he is totally unfit to construe Judi
cially the amendments referred to and
the law enacted to carry out the same.
The report which accompanied the
resolutions vigorously criticise Mr.. La
mars alleged participation in the sup
preston of the southern Republican vote;
arraigns him as lawyer unified by ex
perience for the Supreme court bench,
and sets forth that he still be-
ieves in the virtue OF the lost
cause, and that the day will
come when the government represented
by Jefferson Davis will be the lawful one.

THE OPPORTUNITY


Houston Post: Now is Houston's op-
portunity. And it is the opportunity Of
all Southern and Southeastern and South
western Texas. The cheap rates to tour
lists and immigrants will begin this yesr.
The railway managers gay they will give
rates as low as the people want them.
With these advantages, with Houston as
one OF the principal gateways to the state,
a big fair and exposition here, to be held
two weeks in the spring, would come
just in the nick of time. With the rates
from all points in Texas, now
possible to be obtained, it
is probable 100000 visitors could be at
tracted hither, besides turning the stream
Of tourists, prospectors and immigrants
into the state by way Of New Orleans and
Houston. It will require nerve, energy,
liberality and unison on the part of our
people TO put the thing through. Have
they got these qualities? Have they got
them in sufficient quantities? IT is the
golden opportunity. Shall We embrace
st? Why not bring the matter up at the
Cotton Exchange meeting? Why not?
When Houston leads eff all South Tt xas
will follow.

house to-day aad especially the Land De-
partment. The following opinions were
expressed by official personages:
Governor Ross said "It is simply a
legal notice by the President, and the is.
sue between the state and the United
States has been fairly drawn. The whole
matter Is now in the hands of our Con.
gressmen and have abundant confidence
In their ability to attend to it and bring

Issue. We have everything about ready
for placing Greer county lands on the
market, and Intended to do so in about
two weeks. don't know what I'll do az
have not had time to think about the
matter"
Comptroller Mccall: ST. am not sur.
prised. 1t Is just what I expected after
all the fuss over the county. II the state
had gone on quietly and settled up the
county without any fuss there would
have been none of this trou-
BILE, but it was constantly
agitated, and this thing was said, and
that thing predicted as to what would and
what would not occur; and we see the
result"
Insurance Commissioner Foster said:
"Well, 1t is just Whist Congressman
Lanham said would occur. He thought
the state ought to go ahead and settle the
territory quickly. and If she did so all
would be WELL"
Colonel Darden, the ex comptroller,

THE NEW ROAD AND OUR FUTURE.

San Antonio Times: One with God is 8
majority. There can be no question tina,
the Maker is with San Antonio; the
formation OF the country IS to highway
capabilities; the products Of the soil; the
ore, the coal, the climate, the petroleum,
the easy access 10 Ne Xico; the cordial
trade relations already between San An.
tonic and Mexico our position relative
to the interior snd the gulf and ocean,
and, best of all, indisputa BILE and sure rs
the everlasting hills, the fact that there is
deep water at Arkansas Pass which, with
little Improvement, can accommodate all
the shipping necessary to conduct the
commerce OF continent.
These things afford ample foundation
for the confidence that has lstely become
so conspicuous among US. We are not
alone in our appreciation Of the advsu-
tsges Of our locality. The newly pro-
jected railway is an evidence that this
point has been inspected and approved
by the wisdom Of strong capital, for no
guarantee or subsidy or favor is asked
Hf San Antonio till she shall have felt
the rumble Of the new trains. So many
towns have grown past Us, while we have
slept upon our natural advantages that 1t
becomes US now to move with great
unanimity and vigor. And there are not
wanting good signs of extending and
deepening interest. 1t is most gratifying,
and full If promise as well, to see the
highest representatives of the city join
hands with the Citizens Association in
| promoting new enterprises; there will be
added zeal, conf ience and strength. The
house Is not divided against itself, and
Will stand and grow greater from this day
on; 1888 opens auspiciously.
1t has been said by protection papers
that the Presidents message has led to
the extensive purchase of cheap English
rails at serious loss to American
m ,kers. Without discussing the economic
principle involved or for the time disput-
ing the statement, one thing necessarily
follows, viz: That cheap rails and rail
road material mean prodigious railroad
building in the immediate future, and
1t affords San Antonio q golden OPP
portunity to focus lines within her ter
ritory.
