argument Of the advocates Of
the Statehood scheme that Congress.
with Statehood given, might with
safety withdraw its lsovereignty may
be looked upon with suspicion. In
case Utah was admitted into the
Union as q State, the Legislature,
which, it is asserted would
be controlled by the Mormon
Church, might easily pass a
law that the crime Of polyga-
my, to be established, must be
proven by witnesses who had actually
seen the ceremony performed. I'm
der such q law when would there be a
conviction, and in what way would
Congress go to work to regain the
power it granted away? There ap-
pears to be no especial reason for hur-
rying the Statehood scheme, as its sue
cess would not, to any extent, ad-
vance the material interests of Utah
It is safe public policy to dery to
Utah the sisterhood of the Union un-
til it is clearly proven that polygamy
has been entirely done away with
and expurged from her fair terri
tOry.

ARMoRY HALL in this city is as bril-

ARMoRY HALL in this city is as bril-
liant scene as ever the eye
rested upon under similar cir
cumstances. Riverside has sent
forward her great citrus show to this
city and the fruit is now being set in
order at the place referred to. The
golden apples Of this modern Hespe-
rides are being arranged in many
fascinatingly artistic shapes. Nor is
Riverside to be left alone in this
effort to put before the world such a
splendid view Of our citric products.
The other towns OF this section in
goodly numbers are here to vie with
the San Bernardino county city in
this superb display. Their names
and they are legion-will be found
from day to day in our columns.
Nor will the exhibit be confined to
the citrus fruits. Many other fruits
which grow with such luxuriant
abundance in this section will be on
exhibition in the hall. 1t will be late
this afternoon before the several con-
tributions will be in order, but when
it is all set in place and properly
lighted the scene will be marvelously
attractive. It will we'll repay visit
to the hall to inspect this matchless
display of the products of our or
chards. The showing of citrus fruit
has never been surpassed anywhere.

The ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL HERALD
is now being prepared for the press.
Those who desire space in its columns
must secure the same at once. The
available portion for advertising is be-
ing absorbed by those who know the
value of this publication. 1t will con-
tain much more valuable descriptive
and statistical matter regarding our af-
fairs than any previous issue. A
much larger edition will be struck
of, and in all respects the eighth vol
ume will far surpass in excellence all
that have gone before. The publica-
tion goes into circulation constantly
for whole year. A very much larger
number of this paper is sold and read
in this section than of any similar
publication, not excepting the dailies
Of this city. The books go East by the
tens Of thousands, and reach all parts
Of the American Union, and multi
tudes go to all the quarters Of the

ANNOUNCEMENTS to the effect that
the Southern Pacific Company had
purchased lands in this city on which
to erect car and machine shops are
correct beyond doubt Work will
begin in few days in filling up the
ground to a level with the street
grades established in that portion OF
the pueblo, and at no distant day the
buildings will be commenced. These
works will be on very large scale,
the statement being made by one
high in the employ of the company
that 1900 men will be employed
about these shops. As early as four
years ago the announcement was
made in the columns Of the HERALD
that this would take place sooner or
later. This is the most central point
on the almost interminable lines of
this gigantic railroad system, and
therefore this is the natural point for
such an enterprise as this.

THOSE who have read the delin-
quent tax list in the HERALD must
have been amazed beyond expression
at the magnitude of the amount due,
and at the multitude of the parcels of
land on which taxes had not been
paid. The gross amount was $l37, 900
out of total tax levy of nearly
81 800, 1000. The number of separate
descriptions was about $4,000. Since
the list went to press very large
proportion of the property holders
have been diligent in paying up their
dues, and the good work still goes
merrily on. It is a week before the
property goes to sale for whatremains
due thereon, and during that time
much of the account will be wiped
out. The officials are going
over the list carefully, correct
ing all double assessments and
other errors so far as the data
at hand enables them to do this. As
a result of all these efforts to get mat
ters straight-efforts on the part OF
both the taxpayers and the Tax Col
lector-there will be really very little
property allowed to go to sale. The
whole amount remaining due to be
turned over to the Sheriff for his kind
offices will not come to $50, 900. And
when we consider the multiplicity OF
subdivisions made in tie county last
year, the number of absentees who
own property here, the uncertainty as
to who should pay taxes in so many
cases, the mistakes made in the
books, the size of the county, the
impossibility Of getting waited on in
the Tax Collectors office-and that
by no fault of that overburdened
oficial-this result is little less than
a miracle.

IT APPEARS that the gentlemen
from Utah who testified before the
Senate Committee regarding polyg-
amy in that Territory, only told half
truths calculated to mislead as to the
real condition Of Mormon affairs. In
the light thrown upon the subject by
the Salt Lake Tribune, it is shown
that while the Mormon Church is
swiftly disintegrating under Terri
torial rule, polygamy has not been
abandoned in Utah, as was stated by
the gentlemen before referred to,
and that there is no intention on
the part Of the Saints" to
abandon it. It is q notorious
fact that servant girls and other
female workers in the Territory of
Utah are leaving their employment
constantly for the purpose Of entering
into polygamy. "A hierarchy doubt
lonn1y exists in Utah, and the Salt
IAko Tribune thinks that with State

The political atmosphere Of the
Hawaiian Islands is clearing, so far
as outward appearances show. Late
reports from the over-governed isles,
to be taken cum grano sails, assert
that since the collapse of an incipient
rebellious movement on the part of
few disappointed politicians, there has
been no cloud upon the political
firma ment, nor any agitation that
threatened in the slightest degree
the peace of the community. The
patriots who hold forth at Honolulu
confid emily declare that Hawaiian
politics will run for at least a century
in constitutional grooves. The recent
death of the late Premier Gibson,
whose restoration to leadership was
more or less feared by his opponents,
has 'lightened the burdens of the
powers that be, while the exemplary
conduct of the King in receding
from his position of antagonism
to the will of the Cabinet,
removed another cause for alarm.
His Royal Highness has been SO
effectively snubbed by his "constitu-
tional advisers" that it is scarcely
prob a BILE that he will ever again VEN
ture to encroach upon their vested
privileges, even though the supreme
Court of Hawaii has decided that the
Kings power Of veto is absolute and
prerogative which may legally done
away with. The King is credited
with not knowing when he has
emo ugh Of good things, but it appears
that he knows to a certainty when he
has enough of a bad thing, and, as
the official organ of the Government
sagely remarks, though the King may
be led to again exercise hisroyal perog-
ative by irresponsible and unscrupu-
lous politicians, the good politicians
are safely entrenched behind the
broad provision for the inde-
pendence of the Legislature con-
tanned inthe Constitution. The mem
bers of the Hawaiian Cabinet are
self-satisfied that good government
with an assured and well-defined auto
nomy will be the result of their policy,
but, to the looker-on, the administra-
tion of public affairs in Hawaii is a
comedy. Yet it has pathetic side,
inasmuch as the followers of civili-
zation that has nearly crushed out a
generous and once powerful nation,
mislead and submit to the worlds
ridicule the remnant of it's people.

SENATOR EDMUNDs did not add to
the lustre of his fame as a statesman,
or as patriot, when a few days since in
the Senate he made a test question on
granting f,anchise to street rail.
road in the National Capital, by max
ing it a condition of the grant that
only American rails should be used
in the construction Of the road. 1t
will be remembered that the Ver-
mont Senator proposed this amend
ment with the explicit statement that
the vote thereon would be accepted
as a party test of the attitude of MEM
bers on the protective policy.
It was the veriest bit of clap
trap that man of experience in
matters Of Government ever lent his
voice to. 1t was the flimsiest bit of
buncombe practiced in the Senate for
many day. The Republican Sena-
tors, who nearly all voted for this
measure, merely added one more in
stance to the many proofs already ex-
tant, and all going to show that with
them it is party first, and right, honor
and fair play nowhere. Why should
this particular road be singled out and
handicapped in its enterprise? Wbv
if it was to be chartered at all, should
it be put at such a disadvantage as
compared with similar enterprises in
Washington, or in other cities? The
Democrats who refused to be bound
by so unjust and narrow a policy,
manifested their manhood and saved
their honor.

market, then, should the farmer uphold
and encourage? What tariff princi-

What should become of this great
home demand and remunerative
market should the Mills bill be-
come a law? Why, it would shrivel
and shrink amazingly, while millions
OF idle mill operatives would be driven
to the farms. Imagine the number of
farmers doubled and the home market
shrunk to one-half or one-fourth its
present size! No wonder the owners

Why Irsh-Americans Should Unanimous

The real question Tin the present
campaign) turns upon the struggle of
protection to American industry, as
against the principles of free trade as
advocated by the Golden Club, OF En-
gland. 1t has fallen to the lot of
America to adopt a tariff for the pro-
lection of American manufacturers
against ruinous competition of foreign
labor, and the working of the ex-
pertinent is the best argument in
favor of the continuance. Since
the war America has witnessed all
most unexampled prosperity. There
could be no better illustration of the
advantages of the tariff system than
comparison Of the wages paid in Eu-
rope and America. AS a Nation we
have had a broad and ample expert
ence of a tariff system on our indus
trial prosperity, and we are now sum-
moned by Grover Cleveland to listen
to the siren voice of the manufacturers
of Great Britain. With the exception

who conceive it their duty to wage

Cabinet, who wish to see America

We have dwelt upon the convention
and its candidates so long that we
have left ourselves little space for

arrived when all divisions and. ami
mosities should cease, in order to res
cue this glorious land from hateful

that Irish-Americans will discard all

fears and dread no future coalitions,

speedy victory a banner inscribed with
