FAILING SCHOOLS.

The indications are that certain of the
district schools in this city are going to de-
cay. We refer to those which have re-
Gently passed under the contsol and in
which the former teachers have been dis
missed because they were Mormons, and
instructors installed who are pronounced
in their opposition to the Mormons. We
have in mind two such schools; there may
be others, and probably are. In the two
districts referred to the schools have been
most popular, SO much so that pupils from
other districts attended The teachres
were trained instructors, were well-liked
and most successful. The schoolhouses
were scarcely large enough to accommo-
date the pupils, so well attended were the
district schools in those prosperous wards.
The Liberals got control of the boards of
trustees, and at ence discharged the popu-
lar teachers for no other reason than that
the latter were members of the Mormon
church. In one case the teacher had been
employed for the school year before the
change in the board came, but that circum-
stance had no effect on the Liberal trustees,
who promptly and unceremoniously "let
him out" and installed an anti-Mormon.
In the brief period during which
the Liberals have had the direction of af-
fairs in these two districts, the well at
tended and deservedly popular schools have
degenerated into Insignificant affairs as
regards attendance, at least, and the pro-
priety of keeping the doors open may well
be called into question. The children in
the districts are not suffering except in the
matter of convenience. They are simply
gong to other schools, district or private,
and paying tuition fees. The parents con-
tinue to pay general and special taxes for
the support of the schools in their respec-
tive districts, and rather than send their
children to be taught in those schools, pay
extra for the education of their children
by friends instead of enemies.
The Liberals would like to find fault with
this condition of things, but they cannot
consistently do it. They know how they
declined to send their children to the dis
trict schools having Mormon teachers, and
they also know that their course was I'M
necessarily partisan in the discharge of the
trained and popular teachers who had the
respect and confidence of the great major
ity of the parents and children of the dis
tricts
What is occurring in the two districts to
which reference has been made simply il
Illustrates again that no matter what the
law may command the parent will exercise
the natural right to direct the education
of his child. He may recognize as valid
and bow to it, the assumption on the part
of the state to say that the child shall have
the advantages of schools and learning, but
he will insist upon it that it is his privilege
to select the school and give direction to
the education. This is seen all over Amer
lea and is pronounced and emphasized
among religionists.

JUSTIFIABLY ANXIOUS.

In no part of this great and booming
land are there more anxious, watchful and
prayerful people than in the state of
Virginia. Those who are thus looking for
ward with anxiety are the best people in
the state, and the fair majority of its edu-
Gated population. On Tuesday next an
election will occur there as well as in
several other states of the union, and the
cause of their solicitude is the candidacy of
man for the exalted post of chief magis-
trate of the state, who is looked upon by
them as a renegade and rascal If it were
left to them, they would as soon have the
devil personally for governor as WILLIAM
MALONE, and the reason they are so anxious
is because there as elsewhere are a
certain lot of sneaks and miscreants, men
who are of the MALONE stamp and swear
by him, and who will not only vote for the
Republican, but will use such influence
and money as they can command among
the ignorant whites and blacks and by
such means obtain for him majority of
the votes cast
A correspondent of the New York Sun,
writing from Richmond, says: general
MALONE has the negro preachers working
their focks in his interest, and his strongest
aids are the negro women. These females
are ostracising the members of their race
whe show any signs of faltering, and they
are working with religious frenzy to see
that every black vote is cast. MALONE
will therefore get the full negro
vote, and by this he expects to make up
for the loss of the kicking Republicans. -
This leads the Alexandria Va)
Gazette to- remark that it is ''too true for
the good of the state and for that of her
black, as well as her white citizens. But
if all the black people of Virginia vote for
General MAHoNE, certainly all the white
people should vote against him, and as there
are nearly hundred thousand more white
than black voters in the state, the generals
coming defeat ought to be overwhelming"
So it ought, and yet it may not
be, for the simple and sufficient reason
that all the. whites of Virginia will not
vote against him by any means. If $4,000
white men out of total of 10000 should
cast their votes for him, and all the negroes
should las they certainly Willy stand in in
like manner, MALONE would be elected.
1t is the fear that there is that number of
renegades in the Old Dominion which
causes the better part of the people to be
apprehensive.
So far as a judgment may be formed
upon reports, apparently reliable, which
have reached US in the west, how
ever, it goes to the belief that MALONE and
his gang of unregenerate confederates will
be crushed under an avalanche of
votes, the extent of which may
be more than ten thousand but cannot be
greatly less. And in common with all the
good people there and elsewhere we say, so
mote it be. Let US hope The HERALD's
dispatches of Wednesday morning will not
only show that the redemption of the

FOOD FOR REFLECTION.

Last Sunday THE HERALD asked the
question, Which party is the one of pro
gress? and showed up very plainly that the
solid and substantial progress in this city
was due very largely to the energy of the
members of the Peoples party, and that
where there were exceptions to this they
were in no case due TO the 'loyal" carpet
baggers who are making such a howl at
the present time and promising so much in
case they shall be given the reins of gov
eminent in this fair city. We think few
figures in connection with the late "Repub-
lie of Tooele'' will be very profitable food
for reflection to one and all at the pres
emit time, and especially TO the tax
payer When the Liberals took pos
session of TOoele county there was 81
600 in the treasury; at the end of four
years. term the county was $4,000 in debt.
The money in the treasury had been spent,
in addition to the current county revenue
and the above $4,000.
This was one instance, at least, where
the Liberal(D party was true to its name,
with the exception of the liberal assess
ment and expenditure of taxes in
Ogden about the only one on record. The
usual way that the Liberal party shows
its liberal nature is by getting Congress to
rob an entire community of the right of
trial by jury, to take the voting privilege
from the women of Utah, and to disfran-
chise the pioneers of our fair territory;
also by trying to steal the country outright
through the enactment of the Idaho test
oath for our benefit, and by inducing the
national legislature to Withdrew from our

people the right to enter and secure title to
government land. How truly liberali One
is overpowered by the manifestations of
generosity!
The result of the Liberal methods in
Tooele county was the falling of county
warrants from 100 cents on the dollar to 10
cents. The taxpayers of that county have
no desire to return to such liberal gov
eminent; they prefer to keep in their
pockets the 80 cents that were squandered.
The Liberal tactics are those of the gam
bler-to risk his all upon the turn of a card.
To pile one brick on top of another is not
the way in which the Liberal carpet-bag
ger desires to make his money; that is
altogether too slow for him. He wants to
progress () more rapidly. The carpet-bag
Liberal wishes for a 'boom" which will
enable him to make quick and handsome
cleanup at the expense of the town, when
he will gather his grip" and go elsewhere
to enjoy his gains, leaving behind no evil
dence of having been of the least benefit to
the city, or of having done one thing that
was really progressive.
THE HERALD hopes Salt Lake will never
have boom of the carpet-bag order We
have to-day and always have had nothing
but words of the warmest praise for one
and all who have done anything to build up
our fair city, and at the same time we have
supreme contempt for the entire carpet
bag fraternity. The careful man makes
no promise that he does not expect to full
fill, but the man with neither honor nor
reputation to lose promises everything and
fulflls nothing
Another instance and incident of Liberal
rule: In some cases in Ogden the taxes
are only five times as high as they were
during the rule of the Peoples party If
this fact and the government of the ere
public of Tooele'' are not food for ref1ec-
ton for the taxpayers in the ranks of the
Liberal party, we don't know what it
would take to make them reflect.
The HERALD is on hand to praise the man
or men who pile up the bricks in our city,
as that will make Salt Lake beautiful and
substantial. We are on hand to applaud
the man or men who establish mills ard
factories, or any kind or class of home in
situations that will aid in building up the
city or territory, but when praise or kind
words are wanted from this office the pro-
fessional boomer and carpet-bag politician
need not apply. Build to last fifty or one
hundred years." was the advice of the great
pioneer, BRIGHAM YOUNG. This is the
kind of counsel on which to found and
maintain solid government, and there is
nothing in it that will encourage ''Mr |
Chief Carpet Dagger PowERs," of thereto
day and -there-to-morrow'' fame, or any of |
his followers

THE CHRISTMAS HERALD.

THE CHRISTMAS HERALD has become a
has issued special holiday number, in
which the progress, development and
achievements during the twelve months
have been set forth, clearly portraying
the advance of the community in various
directions. These special editions are
looked forward to by the public with
eagerness and anxiety, and their appear
ances have successfully been most heartily
welcomed and applauded. This was natural
and to be expected, for each issue
shows marked improvement over its pre-
ddcessor. Last years number, we believe
it will not be disputed, was the handsomest
and most interesting and valuable news
paper publication ever COTTON out in the
territory. 1t called forth commentator
from all parts of the Union, and even
from beyond the sea, many copies having
found their way into the countries of the
old world. How much benefit THE CHRIST
MAS HERALD of 1888 did for Salt Lake and
Utah, cannot be told, but that the good done
by it was great there has been indisputable
evidence. The paper has been preserved
in public and private libraries, in news
paper offices and in private houses,
in every state in the Union, and there has
been a steady call for copies from far and
near places during the entire year.
This morning is announced the beginning
of work on the holiday issue for 1889. Ii is
proposed to make THE CHRISTMAS HERALD
this year surpass all its predecessors in all
respects. 1t will be larger, handsomer,
more artistic, be better illustrated more
literary in its contents, contain better re-
view of the years. achievements, and in
every way be more useful and more in
teresting and more instructive paper for
Utah.
Among other features is one to which
we call special attention this morning, and
that is the series of prize papers. Four
handsome cash prizes, ranging in amount
from $3.50 to S25, are offered for special
articles, designated elsewhere; the compe-
tition is open to all, and we hope there will
be many competitors as the very best is
what THE HERALD wants to secure, Com
petent judges will be designated for each
class, and all articles in that class will be
submitted for the decision of the special
awarding committee. There is an album
dance of literary ability in this territory,
aud The HERALD seeks to enlist it in behalf
Of fair Utah which will derive so much
benefit from the holiday number.
In addition to the prize papers, there will
be numerous special articles of descrip-
tive and industrial character, besides the
customary trade and commercial reflex of
the year.
The edition will be at least double that of
year ago.
The HERALD publishers and editors I'M
dertake the labor involved great as they
know it will be, without misgiving and
with certain sense of pleasure, for they
all realize that they will have the aid and
material assistance of a generous and ap-
preciative public in doing good for Utah
and Utah people.
