THE PAN-AMERICAN.

1t will be some time before the material
gathering gives out. No sooner does one
branch of the subject fail US than we are
Immediately interested in something else
pertaining to the personnel, the natural
objects or the philosophy of the gathering,
and thus we will have something to discuss
regarding this most remarkable and ap-
parently most useless assemblage for some
time to come. .
Perhaps the newspaper that has come
nearest to hitting the nail on the head in
connection with this subject is the Phila-
delphia Record. 1t tackles the sub
iect of coffee, and noting the
fact that we are nation of
drinkers of that beverage and that Brazil
is now our chief source of supply, it adds
to the additional fact that the average i'm
portations of coffee OF late years have been
over 800, 900, 600 pounds, and thinks that it
follows from this state of things that the
settlement of our yearly coffee bill takes
large amount of money Our Brazilian
coffee costs about fifty million dollars per
year. Now, we have in abundance nearly
every form of merchandise which the Bra
zilians purchase of other nations, but we
can sell them about one dollars worth of
goods for every eight dollars worth we
buy of them. The reason of this UNEQUAL
trade is not because there is any deficiency
of transportation facilities, as the protec-
zionist newspapers falsely allege, but be-
cause the Brazilians naturally prefer
to buy in the cheapest market.
We have so crippled our manufact-
urers by doubling the cost of their ma
chinery and enhancing the cost of the ma
terial which they use that they cannot
compete in foreign markets with manufac-
turers not 50 handicapped. There is no
trouble in getting coffee brought to this
country at fair freight rates, nor in sending
goods to Brazil whenever we manage to sell
any; the trouble is altogether home made
trouble. In continuing to keep other ma
tions from selling their wares in the United
States we have made it impossible for our
merchants to exchange their wares for
Brazilian coffee. A scheme to deadhead

The HERALD regrets that ambitious and
progressive Wyoming will not be able to
cast forty thousand votes for the adoption
OF her constitution and in favor of state
hood There is nowhere more enterpris-
ing, courageous, self-reliant community
than that of Wyoming, and there is none
which so far as it goes in the matter of
numbers, is better able to walk alone in a
governmental sense. Ii the men of Wyom-
ing We're more numerous, they would be
prepared to enter the union and make a
glorious state of the rich, but sparsely SET
tied territory. Two or three years more
and our neighbor can go up to Washington
with petition for statehood which will
command consideration and be granted. We
are sorry that there must be this delay.

A REMINI CENCE.

1t will not do any good, but the newspa-
pers, or some of them, and citizens of
Washington are saying uncomplimentary
things about the administration because a
certain man has been re-appointed deputy
marshal of the district. The occasion for
the uncomplimentary remarks is the fact
that the gentleman in question, some years
ago, permitted Captain HowGATE, chief of
the weather bureau, to escape. HowGATE' S
stealings aggregated something in the
neighborhood of half million dollars, and
it was said at the time and has been re
peated since that it was essential to the
responsibility, if not to the liberty of emf
nently respectable officials of government
that HowGATE should go and not
return. There are people who will insist
that other fingers than his we're in the
defalcation pie, and some persist in be-
lieving that the price of the captains
silence was his freedom. At any rate, he
got away without difficulty, ard so far as
we have heard attempt was ever made
to recapture .. AT times during the
first TWO years his retirement he was
occasionally enco,.ltered-so the reporters
said-by persons acquainted with him, and
it was published that he frequently visited
Washington, where he met officials and
transacted business for himself and Others
Lately, however, HowGATE has not been
heard from, nor has the pretty department
clerk who left the capital soon after his
escape and who seems to have had no diff
Guilty in finding him.
The deputy who let HowGATE go was
necessarily discharged, as to have retained
him in Office would have been confirmation
of the allegation that the captains release
was essential to the welfare of Others
Now the deputy has been re-appointed,
which would indicate that possibly some
body was anxious to unload him unto the
government. This may be only suspi-
cion, but those who believe that Captain
HowGATE was allowed to go as the price of
keeping his mouth shut, would like to know
who recommended the deputy for restora-
ton, and what reason he gave for interest
ing himself in behalf of the bounced official
There are wheels within wheels, and by
watching one closely, the uses of another
may be discovered.

furnished any employment for the laborer,
but our souls are filled with unbounded
love for the workingman; we love him so
much that we ask to be given the control
of the city government so we can give him
u taste of our love by multiplying his taxes
by five, and thus make it impossible for
him to live and pay our demands of love ~
1.-THE Peoples party has shown its utter
disregard of and love for the workingman
by establishing home industries and furn-
ishing him labor and by keeping the
taxes down so that: In no other
state or territory are the taxes so
moderate as in Utah The furnishing
the laborer with employment and the keep
ing taxes down show beyond doubt that
the leaders of the Peoples party are not
true friends of the workingman,' and there
fore give US the offices and we will increase
the taxes SO that neither the laborer nor
the manufacturer can possibly live, and
thus demonstrate that we are your true and
loving friends
Yes, the love and the friendship which
the wolf has for the lamb which he intends
to devour. THE HERALD says, give US low
taxes, so that factories can flourish;
give US low public salaries, so that the
people will not be unnecessarily taxed ;
give us government by the solid,
substantial men of our city, and
by those who own the improvements as
anchors to keep them with US, but do not
give US a government by the man with a
carpet bag'' for his "anchor."
When the Liberals took the grip" as
their emblem they builded better than they
had anticipated, as the history of the grip
is of as unsavory a character as anything
known in our country. The Peoples party
did well to select in contradistinction to a
grip" an anchor, and when the carpet bag
Liberal shall have packed his grip and
bid farewell to city where true ~ love
for the laborer is not appreciated, the mem
bers of the Peoples party, old and young.
will be found anchored here.

refinement with the determination of des-
peration That is exactly what they are
doing, impudent as it is.
1t is not surprising that the young men
are enlisting under the Peoples banners.
1t would be astonishing if they did not soJ
enlist, and doubly so if they were to train
with the men who scandalize those
most dear TO them, and who are
doing their utmost to drive from the
country, first impoveristing them, the
fathers and mothers of Utah boys. THE
HERALD is glad to see the evidence on all
sides that the Utah boy is loyal and true;
that lie loves, honors and respects his
parents and believes in tie purity Of his
sisters; that he is for justice and the right,
and that he is proud to fight on the side Of
those who have shown b. their life labor
that they are devoted to the peace, prosper
ity and progress of the territory. We are
glad t. know that the Utah young man is
neither the dolt nor the unnatural creature
that the Liberals who seek to lure him
astray regard him.

THE FACTS CONVICT HIM.

In the face of the fact that it was princi
pally members of the Mormon church who
advanced the money to build that handsome
structure, the University of Deseret, when
governor of the territory had refused to
sign the appropriation bill unless the item
for the university should first be stricken
out, the statement in the report of Gov
ernor ARTHUR L. THOMAS that at is very
plain that the church has decided to take
its place as an enemy of the public school
system and the principles which are at it's
foundation comes with very poor grace
indeed.
When Governor THOMAS penned the
above he knew full well that he was
drawing on his own fertile magma
ton for that portion of the material
for his annual report. His remarks in this
respect are only in keeping with those
to which we referred in our issue of Friday
When the governor, or any one else, for
that matter, engages in Z scheme to over
ride the rights of others and to deprive an
entire community of every political right
it is hardly to be expected that he will be
overly careful in the choice of his sen
fences.
THE HERALD and every one else who has
read the governors annual report, knows
that the document was manufactured for
expectation and not for home consumption,
The facts and figures given are worthy
of our chief executive, but when he de,
sends to the level of the political wire
puller who is trying and has been trying
for years to steal the territory, he gets so
low as to invite decent people to regard him,
as man, with contempt

EMPEROR WILLIAM, when he got to
Athens on his recent tour, became thor
oughly possessed of the divine atlatus, and
unloaded his mind in dispatch TO Prince
BISMARCK in this strain: II have arrived at
glorious old Athens after u voyage OF in
toxicating beauty. After splendid recep-
ton from prince ana people, your telegram
was my first greeting from home. Hearty
thanks for it. My first back to Father
land is a saiutation to you sent from the
city of Pericles. from the pillars of the
Parthenon, the sublime aspect of which
deeply impresses me-" The fiamboyant,
super ornate style of BILLY suggests the
fact that he would make an excellent co..
respondent for the Liberal evening organ
here, if he didn't spell quite so well. His
grammar is also little too near the stand
ard adopted by LINDLEY MURRAY, but he
might be brought out of that.

THE New YORK board of aldermen has
set an example to other cities in passing an
ordinance forbidding the playing of street
bands, hand-organs and so on in the streets
of that city. Just why people everywhere
submit to these things is inexplicable.
Everybody declares them nuisance, and
all say they should be suppressed. The
average man, if he has time, will cross the
street to avoid the pestilential hand-organ,
and the ear bursting street band VIII drive
him around the block. And yet the evils
are tolerated. The New York Euening
Post, commenting on the passage of the
ordinance mentioned slys tho street-creis
ought next to be put down; they are not so
great an evil as the band and-organ
nuisance, but they produce much discom-
fort, and are so positively injurious to sick
and aged and nervous persons that they
should be suppressed on grounds of hu-
manity. Though last, not least, stop
should be put to the blowing of factory
whistles at a.m.-an objectionable inflic-
ton to invalids and poor sleepers, and for
business purposes entirely unnecessary in
these days of clocks and watches"

THE New York Sun tells of the most diff
cult and interesting feat ever accomplished
by a stenographer named H. a. PLATTER
of that city. The two languages used at the
sessions of the maritime congress, Wash
ington, are English and French. When a
speech is delivered in English it is Mr..
PLAYTER's duty to rise and translate the
speech orally into French from steno-
graphic notes He reverses this process
when speech is first delivered in French.
The magnitude of this achievement can be
fully appreciated only by stenographers,
but we can all form some idea Of it.

The SAN Francisco Bulletin a few days
ago said: "There is little or 10 concern
about Iowa" There is not so much now,
either, for the state is in safe hands. 1t
also announced that Massachusetts was all
right, although it once elected Ben BUTLER
governor. The Bulletin is not good or at
least not a complete historian. or it would
remember that since the war the Democrats
elected one of their own number-GAsToN-
governor. And the fact that the Republi-
can candidate now has no votes to spare
ought to admonish our Frisco contempor-
airy to be more guarded.

The City Postotiice.

EDIToR OF The Critic Now we have tho
same thing over again In the House, and TO
prevent the purchase Of the square immed-
ately west of the General PostofIice building
q square which everybody should know the
Government must secure sooner or later, and
which the Senate has for years been unani-
mously in favor of buying-one member rises
IN his place and states that 1t would cost ST.
200, ,OO0-a sum at least $500, 000 or thereabout,
more than any estimate OF ii 1 have ever
heard before; aud there is no question what
ever that when the Senate first sought to SO
cure it, 1t could have been had for not exceed
ing S5O0,O0O.
Once obtained, in six weeks thereafter a
temporary city postoflice could be erected on
the space occupied by Eighth street. between
II aud r. for $4,000 or less, and all the build
ings on the square could be temporarily util-
ICED for Government offices, which Mr. Mill
ken stated. now have to be rented at a cost
OF 100000 year.
But to think of antagonzng such PROPOSE
tion with the Police Court square project, or
even the Judiciary reservation, Is TO me un-
accountable in every point OF view. Were the
Police Court square taken, l presume the in
tention would be to erect the postonice on +
street, between Fifth and Sixth, an entirely
out of the way position, where uinety-nine IN
hundred persons having to 20 10 the post
Office TO register letters receive large packages
or on oth@ business would be obliged tC
travel out of their way for that purpose alone
whereas thousand on thousands pass along E
i, Seventh and Ninth streets, by the General
Postoiiice location, ut the junction OF foul
street railroads.

lice Court where the lowest OF the low Of the

WASHINGTON, JANUARY 22, 1889.
NO LIQUOR AT THE BALL.

The Inaugural ball or reception TO
President Harrison, at the Pension build
ing on the evening of March A, will I'M
doubtedly surpass in magnificence any
similar gathering in the history of the
Republic
The majestic proportions and splendor
Of the rotunda or court of the Pension
building for such reception and ball is
unequaled in the world.
For this occasion 1t will be decorated
with artistic beauty never surpassed, and
will be illuminated with over 1000 in
candescent electric lights.
Then the presence of thousands of
elegantly attired, beautiful women and
handsome men moving over the great
floor, animated by the charm of spirited
music from several hundred pieces,
together with the several balconies filed
with lookerson, with bright eyes and
handsome toilets, gazing at the moving
panorama below, will present gorgeous
spectacle seldom equaled in social
history.
There will be in this display such a
stimulus as will render the use of other
intoxicants unnecessary, and we trust
that the managers will prohibit abso-
lutely the use of wines or liquors on this
national occasion.
Let us come together this time stimu-
lated only with patriotic devotion to
welcoming at the seat of the Government
of the United States new President of
the Republic of the people, by the people
and for the people.
As well might wines and liquors be
introduced at the White House recep-
tions, with its crowds of guests, as on
this grander but similar occasion.
