prohibited in the State" Take this ami
mating principle Of human conduct out
of the world aud the world az once
ceases to be fit abode except for the
groyeling beasts of the field. And that
is the logical complexion to which the
writer in question admits he has come,
and to which all lottery advocates must
in like manner come. By one means or
by another the moral sentiment Of the
people must be suppressed before they
can be induced to consent to the re-
newal of the lottery charter.
Eut time and space for the present
forbid further comment. The writer
hopes to present in another Issue of this
paper some considerations aft citing vi
tally the business interest which the
people Of this community have in this
question adding, in conclusion, for the
present those truthful and burning
words uttered in Congress some years
since by one of our own Congressman
in reference to this lottery question:
"It has existed as blot on the body
corporate for over fifteen years, and no
cause so mighty has ever operated to
bring every branch OF government,
State and national, into more general
disrepute. The reports of courts, both
State and nati0nnl, show the general
decentralization. The ermine OF the
Judge is su!lied; the administration OF
Justice prostituted to the utmost un-
worthy ends; the press, that palladium
of liberty, bought up. or muzzled by
fear or ignorauc; the official head. from
governor to constable, dependent on its
good will; every office seeker at lis
back the whole commonwealth pros
trate at its feet; 70 institution existing
hut at its mercy. This is not an exag-
gerated condition of a once powerful
sovereignty

The smiling cuuntenances OF attor-
aeys, Kenneth Baillio and Gilbert l..
Dupre, on their return from Crowley
on Friday last, moved orr reporter to
inquire into the cause, and he found
out that they had been successful IN
obtaining q verdict in favor of their
client in a very important suit, deter
mined on the previous evening; the
facts of which are about as follows:
One L. A. Granier, of the Parish of
ST. Mary, was, on January Gath, 1889,
elected from a train of cars of the
Louisiana Western Railroad Co. there
upon he sued said company for ten
thousand dollars damages and the jury
gave him verdict for eight thousand
dollars. Tho action of the jury was
highly satisfactory to our above named
friends, and hence, they "smiled and
smiled again."

tido of immigration is from the east to the
west. Before other roads arrive it will be
well for those that are within hailing dis
lance to intrench themselves in the affec-
tions of the public to that extent that their
business will not melt away from them
when the new lines come.
The HERALD has no i'll will toward the
Union Pacific, and we therefore hope that
It's officials will have the good Judgment to
consult the wishes of its patrons in the
naming of successor to Mr.. COPE. 1t
has been said that one of the reasons why
MIR. RUMEL has little chance to secure the
position, is that he left the employ of the
company and is therefore not entitled to
the consideration which he otherwise
would have. THE HERALD does not speak
Tor the gentleman, but we are confident
that we speak the facts when we say that
the reason he left the service of the com
pany was the same as that which caused
every long headed man on the line of the
Utah u Northern to accept the first good
offer which came along to get out of the
companys employ. When man of ordi-
nary intelligence sees the heads of local
friends dropping off to make places for i'm
portations from Boston or some other
place in the east, he generally steps down
and out when good opening is presented,
and thus saves those in charge of
the companys affairs the task
of amputation. Where are the local men
on the line of the Utah g. Northern who
were in the employ of the company when
it was local road and owned, or at least
controlled, by home capital9 Echo answer,
''gone." Mr.. RUMEL has good ears and no
doubt heard the echo, and hence his re-
signation. Good mule sense suggested to
him the propriety of resigning, and THE
HERALD says that good mule sense should
suggest to the Union Pacific folks the pro
priety of his appointment, inasmuch as
their patrons desire it.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-04-06
STILL IN FRONT.

THE HERALD takes off its cap again this
morning and makes its best bow to the pub
lie, freely acknowledging that to the pub
lie is due the first praise for the possibility
of live and teeming twenty four-page
Journal in a city the size of Salt Lake. A
paper may have grit, push and enterprise,
with plenty of brains scattered through the
various departments, but if the public with
holds its recognition, it might as well pull
down the front window blinds and use its
columns for the dissemination Of the princi-
pies of the Salvation Army
Nothing marks the growth of Salt Lake
more pronouncedly than the growth of
THE HERALD. Fourteen months ago the
Sunday issue-considered a very good
sheet for those times-printed a total of
ninety six columns, or lbs inches of mat
ter, and the forty-four-page Christmas
EDITION of December, 1883, was considered
almost a marvellous achievement. THE
SUNDAY HERALD of today consists of 16S
columns, or 1896 inches of matter, very
nearly equal to the number of inches In
The CHRISTMAS HERALD. 1t is a frequent
matter of comment that Salt Lake papers
are five years ahead of the town. THE
HERALD hopes to keep there, and as long as
the big public shows its appreciation of
Dur efforts as it does today, by making it
sertisements to any other papers one, we
have no fear but we shall continue to make
The comment hold good.
