The LITTLE REPUBLIC.
Recent Happenings in TOOele and
Grantsville.

ABOUT TWELVE inches of snow fell in
Tooele last Saturday.
BUSINESS IS very quiet and The people
are complaining of scarcity of money.
THERE Is considerable sickness in
Grantsville among the children, but
THE SHEEP men are feeling more
hopeful than thew were six months ago,
their losses not being near as heavy as
they expected.
THE FIR )sT has played with the
peaches and apricots in this place, and it
is very doubtful if there is any of these
two ktnd of fruit in store for the peo-
pie OF Grantsvllle this year.
LAST NIGHT about 10 o'clock, John
Taylor, young man about 81 years of
age, died at his home in Tooele. He
had been sick for about three months
with typhoid fever. He seemed to be
ge' ting along nicely until dropsy set in,
which is said to be the immediate cause
of his death.
ARTISAN WELLS are becoming all the
rage. Davis & Judd have been very
successful in driving them, they drove
three short time since, going down
from 1876 feet to 227 feet, the largest
flow being forty gallons per minute.
There are over fifty wells in Grants
vile and still drying.
IT WOULD be good thing for the trav-
cling public if the so-called mail and
express wagon between Tooe City and
the depot was something better than an
old broken-down dead ox-wagon. One
is not sure when he gets in whether he
will &c allowed to get out of his own
free will, or be dumped ont before he is
ready. The fare Is enough to demand
u be ter conveyance.

Tax Exemption.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Observing from the proceedings of
the Utah Legislature that measure is
pending which, if it becomes law, will
operate as tariff, or rather as a pro-
lection to certain prospective interest,
at the expense of other interests which
are not protected, 1 thought to avail
myself of your columns (THE HERALD
consenting) to enter a protest against
the enactment of law which would
exempt from taxation lands, machinery
and other property engaged in manu-
featuring sugar in this Territory. 1
believe the true and just doctrine as to
taxation, is that all classes of real and
personal property should bear a pro-
portion of the expenses of the State,
and that exemption from taxation in
favor of any one industry at the ex.
pense of others is unjust, and ought not
to be tolerated.
There are many industries in Utah.
as much entitled to protection as that
of sugar. Indeed, it cannot be said
that the manufacture of sugar is a
Utah industry. The farmer who raises
wheat, barley, potatoes or corn upon
his land does not ask legislative pro-
lection. The owners of the wooden
factories do not ASK it. Nor, do the
owners of Touring mills or smelling
works.
No, gentlemen of the Legislative halls
let the sugar tariff bill sleep the sleep
that knows no waking.

fayette artillery. At least 10000 per.
sons were on the street during the
passage of the party, and the air was
rent with enthusiastic cheers. The
party left Charleston at 11.15 m. The
Presidential train was loaded down
with flowers, the baggage car being
entirely filed with floral offerings and
tropical fruits. Two pet alIigators are

MOSCOW.

Messrs. Michael and John Mckenna
have just returned from a trip to
Washington Territory and give some
interesting facts connected with that
far off land which are well worthy of
publication. They were as far north
as Puget Sound, where in this month
the fields were as green and the flowers
blooming as gaily as here in June, and
they were told by old residents that it
was the same all the year round. 1t
seldom freezes and snow is entirely I'M
known. Between the Pacific coast
and the Cascade mountains, stock can
run out all winter and require no feed
ing. Wheat, rye and oats are raised
in abundance, and it is one of the
greatest countries i'll the world for
raising hops, which vegetable grows to
perfection. It's iron and coal mines
are unlimited, and valuable gold mines
have been discovered. They have
such confidence in the future of that
territory to be a state-that
they invested largely in city property
at Seattle. They brought home some
specimen of Chinese skill with them,
which are indeed curiositles. One is
colored picture of birds and flowers
two by five feet, painted and worked
in all imaginable colors, and as true to
nature as one would expect to see
from the greatest artist. Another is a
lady's fan made entirely of bone and
feathers, the figures colored to the
highest style of Chinese art, and all of
the most exquisite workmanship. They
also brought combined cane and fish
ing rod, which though of great strength
weighs but seven ounces. They were
gone six weeks and travelled nearly
5000 miles
The long pending suit between
Million and Jeglum was tried in the
Circuit court at Madison last week.

uARPER's MAGAZINE.
There is always Christmas flavor
about the departments of Harper's
Magazine for December, but it is i'm
possible to avoid the suspicion this
year that the editor is trying hard to
shove his easy chair under the mistle-
toe, for purposes best known to him
self. At any rate, he writes most
charitably of kissing games and kin
bred things, and finds a good word for
the society reporter on the daily
newspapers. Mr.. Howells, in the
Study, is also in a Christmas mood,
and discusses Christmas literature am
iably. The Drawer, invariably in a
merry frame of mind, is merrier than
than usual Yet Mr.. Warner expresses
the hope that the present-giving bust
ness will not be allowed to grow so
large that it will presently have to be
organized as Trust. Then there ere
many amusing stories, verses and
sketches, both with pen and pencil.
Mention must be made of the capital
full-page sketch by Du Maurier, which
shows how times change and women
change with them.

We are glad to hear of the prosperi-

Enos Jones and family, of Wyoming
valley, visited his father-in-la Thos.
Jones, of this village, on Saturday and
Sunday. His brother, James, also of
Wyoming, met with quite an accident
last Friday afternoon. While repair

six feet, striking his back and head on
pile of stones. He was delirous for
several hours and though consciousness
had returned at last accounts, yet the
extent of his injuries was not known.

Farmers of this vicidity are about

blowing. Most of that will likely
have to be left till spring. There are
few jobs of thrashing to do yet. The
corn crop is reported quite light.
w. j. Roberts, our wide-awake stock
buyer, shipped two car loads of hogs

five cents per pound for good hogs.
The bank paid out $1,700, and left
some checks unpaid. Pretty well done
for village.
Many of the district schools are now
in session and it would well repay the
friends of popular education and the
patrons, who should be included in the
first class, to inquire into the deport-
ment of pupils and the interest they
manifest in their own progress-the
desire they have to acquire knowledge
and wisdom. Parental watchfulness;
good sound advice and encouragement
will do much toward raising the school
to higher standard of usefulness.
Visits from truly interested patrons
also have wholesome influence on
schools. and ought not to be so sadly
neglected. A kindly sympathy should
be kept up between parent and teach
ers, for the best interests of the chill
dren demand it. 1t should be remem-
bered that great things depend on the
proper training of the youth Of our
land. $ lis.

THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.

Notwithstanding the recent tempo
rary victory for extreme high protection,
the tariff question still is unsettled,
aud will remain to vex congress
and the country for a long time to
come, 1t can be disposed of only in two
WAYS: either by a reduction of seaboard
taxes, or the repeal of internal taxes.
OF course its settlement might be post
poned for time by extravagant APP
preparations but only postponed; be-
cause an era of extravaganza sufficient
to prevent redundancy of revenue
under the present condition of the
finances would undoubtedly cause an
awakening of public sentiment, and
be followed by an era of economy. So
the horns of the dilemma which must
be taken hold of by congress sooner or
later are, reduction of the tariff on
the one hand, and n reduction of
excuses on the other. And the tariff
question is therefore the greatest of
real live issues in American politics.
The discussion set on foot by the
recent campaign will so right along,
and the people will have an oppor-
tunity to become better posted than
ever before upon the subject of
federal tayat!on, and upon the financial
condition of the country. During the
coming winter farmers especially
will have time to look closely into the
matter. And if they will but give il
sufficient study to learn of the folly of
supporting policy of government
which decreases their income while il
increases their expenses they will have
gained as much by their winters. work
of research as they can possibly gain
by blowing, sowing, reaping and
