IT HAS been the charge, and generally
admitted by the Democrats themselves,
that they have a peculiar liking for
whisky which Republicans do not en-
joy; but if the Chicago Mail is to be &C
cepted as authority, the members of the
great morality party are somewhat
ahead of the Democrats in the matter
of bibulousness. The Mail says: "At
the bar of the Grand Pacific, the net
receipts since last Sunday evening have
averaged $4,000 for every twenty-tour
hours. Il can not say that 1 wish it
would last very long, said one of the
bartenders at the hotel to-day, because
we are worked to death. No, the visit
ors are very easily pleased. They take
anything they can get. In the rush
they are glad to drink anything"

IT IS to be hoped that the heirs ri
the late Emperor Frederick Will
promptly pay his doctors bills. and
thus avoid scandal, such as invariably
arises in this countsy when rich OF
prominent citizen dies. In America,
the doctors who dose the big ones seem
to have way of sending in exorbitan
bills after the patients die, and of su-
ing the estate for the recovery of the
money. The latest of these scandals is
that growing out of the death of Vice
President Wheeler. DR.. Gray, who at
tended him in his last illness, presented
bill for s14, 800. which the executors
refuse to pay. and the result is suit at
law for the money. The doctors, in
these cases, act as if they expected to
never get another patient.

TAXING RAILROADS.

: One matter to which the Board o
Equalization should pay particular at
tention is that OF the taxation of rail
roads. We believe it may be safely as
serted that in no other State or Terri,
tory in the Union are the taxes on rail,
way property as light as in Utah. We
are glad that this is so, and hope it will
continue for all time. Abuse them as
we may, the railroads are everything to
Utah. Without them we would be in q
sad plight, and the more of them we
have the better for US all. A most
liberal policy in dealing with them will
be wise and beneficial for the Territory,
in that it will encourage and enable the
railroads to 90 on in the work OF de-
veloping the resources of the country
and stimulating enterprise.
But what the Equalization Board
should do is to adjust the railway taxes,
and make them somewhere near uni
form. Light as the railway taxes are,
there are some counties which derive
their revenue largely from the
companies, thus relieving private prop.
erty from its fair share of the public
burden. There are other counties
which are more generous to the rail-
ways and less so to individuals. An ad-
justment should be made, not, perhaps,
with the view to increasing the railway
taxes in the aggregate. but for the pur-
pose of more equitably distributing the
money.
In this connection it may not
be out of place to note some
of the differences in railway taxes,
with reference to this Territory
and others. We have before US state
ments of the earnings and expenses of
certain railways, some of them operat-
ing in Utah, and all more or less con-
nected with the lines here. The rates
of taxes per mile Of the various lines
are given, though not by States and |
Territories, some of the lines operating
in several of them. The tax per mile
on one road of I, 300 miles in Nebraska,
Colorado, Kansas. Wyoming and Utah,
is 5000. The tax per mile on a short
line in Wyoming is $66; on a road in
and Colorado, S19S; on line
in Colorado, $198; on another line In
Colorado, 1888; another line in Colo

OFFER A REWARD.
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake G.

individuals and companies are desir-
Gus of selling 80 the city well-boring
machinery and appliances, and within
the past two or three years we have
heard of persons offering guarantees
to obtain artesian water in the uplands.
We believe that flowing wells can be
obtained on the benches. The fact that
such wells have been STRUCK" in var
ious parts of the city would seem to in
sure them on the highlands if pipe
can be driven deep enough which par
ties profess ability to do. Why would
1t not be a wise thing for the munich
paIity to offer a reward or bonus for
water sufficient to induce individuals
or companies to undertake the work of
boring at the elevated points for the de-
sired fluid? The value of success
would be incalculable. The corpora
ton can afford to pay handsomely for
the demonstration. Let it be proven
that a good flow of water can be had
by boring, and the problem puzzling the
Council will at once be solved, and an
end will be put to the trouble which the
authorities are having in trying to sup
ply water for the city. If such strong
flowing wells as are found elsewhere
can be obtained on the east and north
benches the city will no longer be at
She mercy of these who now own and |
control,tke mountain streams so much |
desired by the city and which are
seemingly SO essential to the growth,
development and welfare of the city.
II it shall once be shown that flowing
wells are possible, individuals will
no longer bother the Council with petit
tons for water which the Council can
not supply. There is plenty of private
capital ready to engage in well-boring
enterprises when it shall be known that
such enterprises will give reasonable
promise of success.
1t is suggested that the Council offer
a fair sum to the one who shall get
flowing water by boring or driving on
any of the benches east or north of the
inhabited part of the city. Ths makers
of machinery and appliances can thus
show whether or not they have the
faith which they endeaVor to inspire
in others. If they succeed, they will {
be we'll rewarded for the risk they run, {
and the corporation will only have
made & most wise investment; if fail
ure shall follow, the city will be out
nothing.

TIE PRECEDENT is exposing the reck-
lessness and fraud in so many of the
private pension bills which the Repub-
licans are passing without thought or
consideration as to their merit, that one
should be excused for suggesting that il
about time the representatives of the
G. o. P. in Congress began to inquire
into the facts concerning the claims for
pensions which are presented to them
The President, the other day, vetoed
two bills, one TO increase the pension OF
Elijah Martin, and the other to grant q
pension to Dolly Blazer. In the veto of
the first Mr.. Cleveland gave as his rea-
son that Martin had been dead for some
time. The explanation was a sad
one, it is true, but it seems to be
solid, considering that at present there
is no method. for transmitting the
money to the unfortunate man. Dolly
Blazer is the widow of a Union soldier,
it is true, but the evidence shows that
he was mustered out of the service in
good condition, that he never applied
for pension during his lifetime, thus
showing that he did not consider him
self entitled to one, and that he died
from yellow fever thirteen years after
the close of the war. In the light of
these facts, the veto by the President,
which contained the following Language.
ought not to be severely criticised
"For the reason that the death of the
soldier had no relation to his military
service, and l do not think there should
be discrimination in favor of this ap-
plicant and against many thousands of
widows fully as well entitled"

IHDIANAroEIs, Nov 24-The switchmen's
strike presented no new features yesterday,
except in reducing all who could be spared
from other service to take hand in moving
cars and turning switches. Engineers and
firemen, though claiming to have sympathy
for the strikers, were at work and declined
to leave the switching engines, although
they were frequently solicited to do so.
About the various yards the strikers gath
cred and used their time in some instances in
trying to prevent the turning Of switches
and in others in jeering those who volun.
teered to do their work.
Nothing worse than repeated shouting of
"Scabs, Rats" and epithets of that char
acter was INDUCED In, but at the C. H. & D.
yards gang of toughs tried to induce the
strikers to resort to violence. They failed.
No freight trains were moving except those
coming in with perishabe freight, and one
or two that were made up on the Belt dur
ing the day. There was nervous appre-
hension that the night movements would
bring on troube e, but visit to all the yards
showed quie. condition of affairs
During the afternoon it was reported that
the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield had
agreed TO pay more wages for less work, and
that the men had gone to work. The men
did return, but President Hammond says it
was not on concession. but that the terms
were satisfactory to both parties. In nearly
every other instance the superintendent
have given orders to the yardmasters to dis
charge the strikers, whose places they will
seek TO fl with new men ltis said by some
OF the officials that the business of the roads
will be transacted as usual after today, but

their demands. Passenger trains are not

RICHMOND, Va, Nov "a "A spirit of re-
taliation has been aroused here by the pub
licaticn of the following from The Pittsburg
Times:
number of gentlemen, well known in this
city as business and professional men, some OF
whom served 10 the Union army during the war,
met to enter a protest against the Haunting OF
rebel flags which has of late become so common,
aud bill was prepared to be presented at the
next session of congress, making it misde mean
or, punishable by heavy fine and imprisonment
of one TO three years, TO display Confederate
flag in parades or on other public occasions.
In Thursday evenings Richmond State
call is issued by country merchant, ad-
dressed to the patriotic merchants and con-
sumers of the south, requesting them to
Ponder well this action of leading business men
of Pittsburg, and to make a solemn vow that
they will henceforward buy nothing from the
city of Pittsburg, or indeed from the state OF
Pennsylvania, where such spirit OF persecution
prevails Let them buy from some Democratic
state or town, or better still at home Let them
buy their iron in Birmingham, cotton or WOODEN
goods from Georgia, etc, as did our forefathers
in IT'S. We can only hope to touch the sensi-
bilities and arouse the sympathies Of these enc
mics in our sufferings. and awaken any interest
in our dire necessities by tapping their pockets.
Touch them there and they will listen to reason
The State says this editorially:
One of our most intelligent and progressive
business men remarked yesterday: Il have with
drawn my custom from wholesale dealer in
Philadeluhia with whom have dealt for years.
He gave 8, 900 TO the fund used for putting in
power the enemies of the south" That's bust
ness. These supporters of the bloody shirt party
give thousands of dollars to aid IN the election Of
those who have lent their countenances TO the
| worst and most dangerous element of the south,
and then expect to be reimbursed from the peck
| cts of southern men. Let every southern Demo
| crat give his custom hereafter TO those northern
| merchants who are the friends, not the enemies,
of his people The northern merchants who sup
| port men like Cleveland and Thurman deserve
| southern atronage not those who delight in see
ing the hopes of the best elements IN the south
| disappointed and who give their money TO the
party of Blaine Sherman Foraker and other foes
