CONTRACT LABORERS'.

If a telegram from Austin, Texas, which
appeared in Saturdays HERALD may be re
lied upon, Messrs. Gus WILKES and ABNER
TAYLOR have been convinced that the fed
eral statute forbidding the importation of
contract laborers means more than it has
heretofore been made to mean. The dis
patch says the gentlemen pleaded guilty to
the charge of importing sixty-four laborers
under contract, and that they were fined
81 900 and costs in each case. We enter
tain no special enmity towards the gentle
men named, but we cannot help wishing
that the news regarding them is correct,
and that every dollar Of the fines and costs
will be collected from them. We
presume they are contractors or en-
ployers who were DESTROYS of pocket
ing the difference between the pay
which an intelligent American must have
to support himself and his family, and the
wages for which an ignorant foreigner is
willing to work. Such employers should
find no sympathy or encouragement in this
country, and the more severely the laws
for the protection of American working
men are made to bear on them the better
1t will next be in order to get after
''patriots" of the ANDREW CARNEGIE stripe
who have driven American laborers from
the mines and mills of the iron and coal
districts with cheap Italians and cheaper
Hungarians and Poles. But we need not
look for trouble to come to CARNEGIE so
long as there is an administration to elect
which he contributed $100 000

THE OGDEN GAMBLERS.

The stand taken by Deputy Marshal
PRATT against gambling in Ogden seems to
be having its effect. The Ogden papers
say the gamblers have taken fright and
flight, one of the journals stating that forty
gentlemen of the green cloth have left
that city. with the intention of taking up
their abode in Salt Lake. This announce
meut must be received with many grains
of allowance, though it is possible there IS
more or less truth in it. We hope there IS
less. There will be sufficiet Liberal colonlz-
ing in other directions and of at least
equally good material,
But the assertion that the gamblers are
coming here induces one to ask whether
or not the reputation of this city is such
that gamblers have the impression that In
Salt Lake they will not be molested in
their unlawful business. If any such opin-
ion is entertained our local police will be
derelict if they do not promptly reverse it.
Gambling is misdemeanor in Salt Lake,
and those who think otherwise must
have their minds corrected in this
respect. There is reason to believe that
the unlawful business is carried on here.
Every now and again men are arrested for
keeping gambling houses, and others are
taken in for frequenting these houses, and
as a rule they plead guilty, thus establishing
the fact that there is gaming here. So far,
however, the authorities have been able to
make the gamblers keep in the rear. The
offense is not Haunted in the face of the
public, and we doubt that strangers or
those who cannot be trusted to maintain
secrecy can gain entrance to the gaming
houses. admitting there are such in town.
But this news from Ogden should make
the local police more vigilant than ever in
the matter of suppressing the business.
They should, by watchfulness and by
shrewdness in detective work, convince
the gentlemen from our northern neighbor
that if they have come here to ply their
trade they have made a mistake.

be accorded to those who lawfully win it.
We hope and believe that the People will
retain control of the municipality. 1t is
our firm and honest conviction that if the
conservative party under whose manage
ment the city has steadily grown and as
steadily prospered, shall continue in power
it will be better for all concerned, save a
handful of spectators whose only interest
in the place is temporary one inspired by
"a desire to make money quickly at what
ever evil consequences to the city. But If
the Liberals shall prove to be in
the actual majority, and shall poll
more honest votes than the People
can muster, this paper will be the last to
quarrel with the result of the election. We
believe firmly in the principle that MAORI
ties should rule, though maiorities are not
infrequently wrong in theory and in prac-
tice, corrupt and tyrannical. The wrongs
which they do will be corrected by the
people, who in time turn oppressive major
tiles into minorities. 1t is because we be-
lieve in majority rule that we are so eager
for an honest election next February.
The commission has made good begin
ming in the matter of preparation. The
next important work will be the selection
of the registration officers. If good and
trustworthy men shall be chosen the cir
cular issued the other day will prove use
full paper. We trust that the commission
will exercise care in choosing men to can
vass the city and prepare the lists of those
who are entitled to vote.

A GOOD GOVERNOR.

A Republican paper notes the fact that
Governor HILL, of New York, is making
some strong points just now. 1t says that
he had problem to solve in dealing with
an extravagant and reckless legislature
The New York saloons had made appropri-
ations to the extent of So, $50, $50, an ex-
cess of s., 470, 246 over the preceding year.
The legislature seemed to be a lot of Cor
peral TANNERS congregated as body bent
upon scattering the peoples substance
without sufficient consideration. The paper
from which the above admission is OBJ
tanned also comedies that the legislature,
which was thus trying to squander money
was Republican while Governor HILL is a
Democrat, but it quietly insinuates that
that may have been the impelling motive
for his scrupulous watchcare over the
public veal. Certain it is that he saved
the people of the empire state s., SOS, $50
at one session. This is a good deal of
money.
1t is very gratifying to see the press
ignoring political ties long enough to do
Justice to a man in the ranks of the opposi-
ton. 1t might as well also be stated that
in the case of Governor DAVID B. HILL
they have little if any chance to do other
wise. They may ascribe it to whatever
motive they please, but the fact remains
that he has observed his oath of Office and
been an executive for the whole people.
He has passed through trying period, be
ing confronted all along with a legislature
strongly against him and making use of its
a1vo,.yr Y,oiot an5 IN axrnT-xy oo-
casion, when such a thing could be done
without its being too apparent and flag
rant to override him But he 'stayed with
themn manfully, and one great result
of his firmness and patriotism is recorded
above in the admission of an adversary,
that he saved the people whose chief magis-
trate he is the enormous sum of nearly
two million dollars, and it might as well be
stated also that he tried to cut down the
Republican appropriations still more, but
he and his allies were not strong enough to
beat back the rapacious corruptionists at
every point she hath done what he
couldn is good enough for him at present;
it is more than can be said for most gov
errors.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that DAVID re-
sides in the same state with the GoLIAH Of
the Democratic party. Under the consti-
tuition of the United States, the President
and Vice President cannot be chosen from
the same state; otherwise he would make
a strong second for an invincible first.

against which all forms of opposition
would dwindle ere the contest was fairly

No Cbecks Cashed or MONEY. Loaned.

hotels; No money loaned or checks cashed

the hotel from dead beats. and they. serve
the purpose to a certain extent. We make a
mistake now and then, as was the case here a
couple of weeks ago. An old codger came
along with an old fashioned satchel, and he
looked so hard up and rusty that gave him
the poorest room in the house, and asked for
a deposit of S. He made it, and gave him
no further attention. At the end of week
he came up to settle his bill, and when gave
him the figures he pulled out acheck book
and filled up check for the amount.

even when paying off his sons debts, like
BARKIs, was willing, but ALEXANDER isn't
built that way. He wanted recognition
of Russia's claims to freedom of action in
the Balkan peninsula, and as this would be
equivalent to giving Russia full swing, it
doubtless caused the boss of Germany to
reconsider and ask himself what there
would be in it for him. When he accom-
plished the alliance which bound his coun-
try, Austria and Italy together in the bond
providing for offensive and defensive ope
rations, when needed, he doubtless put the
cap sheaf on his diplomatic achievements
of recent times at least.
Just now affairs across the sea are mar
velously quiet. Those who are least dis
posed to being furried and who take a
rational, consistent view of everything,
are among those who believe that the calm
is one preceding a mighty storm, and when
it bursts there will be business for the
whole of Europe. Certainly nothing less
than that would come up to BIsMARCK's
standard now. AS the hero of two great
campaigns, the last one being the conquest
of power against which the shafts and
bolts of his predecessors had been time and
again fruitlessly hurled, he cannot now
afford to engage in any side shows. Hardly.
Besides, the old fellow is pretty well along
toward the sunset of life and doubtless has
an ambition to go down like we sometimes
see stage heroes give up the ghost-in
blaze of glory.
All the while, the little but potent under
standing which France and Russia have
arrived at is attracting its share of atten-
ton. The tripartite alliance-Germany,
Austria and Italy-was considered a master
piece of strategy upon the part of the
Kaiser, and doubtless it was. 1t is I'M
questionablY powerful combination and
makes the allies for defensive purposes
well-nigh impregnable. But it pales some
what in the presence of a union between
the most warlike of the powers on the
southwest and the most ponderous one on
the northeast. The allies are exactly
filling the position of ham in sandwich,
and whoever assails either France or
Russia now had better proceed with his
eyes open and his powder very, very dry

JOHN L. SULLIVAN has been sentenced to
twelve months Imprisonment for fighting
on Mississippi soil, AMI has already begun
his long period of confinement There is
necessarily more or less sympathy for the
big Bostonian, who has been so suddenly
transformed from the hero of the nation to
a common criminal during penance in an
insignificant Mississippi prison. Right
minded people will not regret the convic-
ton. Rather will they be pleased that the
law against prize-fghting has been made to
mean something in at least one state. But
these same people will also be pleased if
after having taught the slugger that big as
he is the law is mightier than any man,
Governor LOWRY will tell SULLIVAN to go

INQUIRY SHOWS that the daily pay of a
blacksmith in free trade England,
which imports its grain, will buy forty
eight pounds of wheat bread. The daily
wages of blacksmith in Wisconsin, which
exports grain, will buy forty pounds OF
wheat bread. 1t is the ''pauper labor of
Europe which our protective tariff guards
against, holding American workingmen
beyond competition with the poor fellows
on the other side of the water who can
earn eight more pounds of bread day
than can be earned here. Protective tariff
makes it possible for an employer to pay
high wages, but where is the employer
who takes advantage of the law to give his
men more than he is compelled to pay them
by the laws of competition!

Those Behring Sea Seizures.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 1.-THE minister of
customs to-day received by mail the ex-
pected official reports of the seizure of the
British vessels in the North Pacific by
United States cruisers. These papers are
understood to show that such seizures, as
far as they relate to ships registered in
Canadian ports are, in effect, outside of the
marine Jurisdiction of the United States,
and therefore uniustifiable and entitle the
owners to compensation for the loss
suffered. Bowel laid the papers before
the council of ministers this afternoon.
Copies will be forwarded to the imperial
authorities for communication of the result
and claims through diplomatic channels to
the United States government.
