Speaker Reed is not candidate for
President just now says the Chicago
Journal. At all events, he would be a
fool to say so If he don't want to bring
down on his head the dire vengeance
Of the Harrison administration for
cherishing any such audacous ambi-
ton.
High-tarif logic is sometimes very
curious. The Chicago Journal, copy
ing statement that steel rails are
higher in England to-day than in the
United States, draws therefrom the
peculiar high-tax logical conclusion
that, therefore, the tariff of ST. per ton
on steel rails must be maintained.
Two Chinese noblemen are in Chi

machinery they contracted for is to

The iron men made loud boast, a
month or so ago, that pig iron could
be produced cheaper in this country
than in England. According to the
Bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association, just issued, the out
put of pig iron in the U. S, in 1889
was 7,604,525 'long" tons 1920 lbs).
The tariff on pig iron is 1872. So the
aid the government extended to the
producers Of pig iron, above its actual
cost, during the year was about $751;
OOO,OO Can the Tribune which is so

A new financial era has dawned on
the country. Our present Republican
administration don't need even the
help of Corporal Tanner to smash"
the surplus. The house ways and
means committee, who are working on
the Mckinley tariff bill, give as
reason why it is impossible to take off |
tax on raw materials. but, on the con-
trary, the tax on many articles must
be raised, that at the present rate Of
the surplus, instead of
being too large, will be dangerously
small. Instead of surplus, the pros
pect under Republican rule is that the
national flnancfers will have to wrestle
with deficiency.

THE INSTITUTE.

THE INSIIItIE'
Well, the farmers have come, had
their say and gone. There were prob
ably in attendance at the institute,
made up of representatives from the
counties composing this (the Eighth
Congressional district, - to 100 dele
gates. They were men Of Drawn, of
intelligence and hard common sense.
But in addition there were in con-
slant attendance in the audience fully
twice as many more farmers, also men
of thought and intelligence. And
added TO this there was a constant at
tendance Of Ottawa citizens, altogether
giving the house COnstantly-packcd
and deeply interested audience.
But what were the farmers here for?
Was 1t simply to have an interchange
of ideas as to the best way to conduct
a farm, how to raise the largest crops
at least expense, when to SOW, when
to plant and SO on? From many OF
the little speeches made and papers
read, quite a number seemed to have
no larger idea than this. Other and
greater matters, however, constantly
obtruded themselves. Farming has
ceased to be rcmuncrative, came prOmi
nently to the surface, and then natur-
ally followed the questions, why? and
what Is the remedy:
Questions like these naturally re-
vived "reminiscences. Eighteen or
twenty years ago there was state of
things similar to the present. Farm
products were so low that it no longer
paid to haul them to market. But
there was this difference, that while
prices were ruinOus here, they were
fair at the seaboard. The truth was
finally drilled into the heads Of the
farmers that they were being made
the victims of railroad eXtortion.
Then came the granger uprising, and
though it was hard and protracted
battle in the end the grangers won.
The railroads no longer dared to
charge II cents to carry bushel of
corn to Chicago from Tiskilwa and 4
cents from La Sale; or 5 cents from
Alton and - from Pontiac.
Few of the delegates here on We'd
nesday and Thursday may have known
it, but all will yet find out that these
institutes" are but the entering
wedge to another uprising, mightier
even than that Of the grangers and
more far-reaching in the promise of its
results. AS the former was against
railroad eXtOrtiOn, so this will be
against tax cxtOrtion. The farmers
are being taxed to death. Their lands
are ovcrtaXcd, every implement they
use and stitch they wear is Overtaxed;
their glass, their lumber, their nails,
their pots and kettles and dishes-all
are fearfully ovcrtaXcd. 1t is to a
searching inquiry in this direction
that the thoughts of these institutes"
are almost unconsciOuSly already
directing themselves, as was album
dainty manifest in more than one of
the speeches here; and it will be when
these points are laid open to full com
prehcnsion that action will follow that
will lead up to "A remedy as signal as
that which was so triumphantly
wrought out by the grangers.

with much feeling. He was deeply
thankful for the high honor and proud Of
the privilege of welding an emblem of
authority made such when American in
dependence was declared. He conpli.
mented the house on its work and spoke
briefly of Wyoming, closing with this
peroratiOn:
What inspired hand shall trace upon
the walls of this capitol. the future of this
great Western land?
"Mcthinks the obscuring veil of future
centuries roll back from the mountains
and reveals what lies beyond. The grand
old snow-covered range is there as erst
and the streams roll down the mountain
canyons, but the arid dust of the plains
Is gone, forests of green trees wave IN the
breeze, vines drop with their purple clus-
ters, meadow lawns and slopes mirror the
%culturlng land; domes, towers and min
arets point up from every valley and the
busy hum is heard on every side. The
mountain slopes are t~erraced and castled.
The mountains themselves are inwrought
with a network of penetration, whence
%treasurers of gold and silver have been
gathered for ages. Locomotives thunder
on over level ways thousands OF feet be
meath the mountain SUBMITS and emerge
to enter vast cities in the valleys between
the ranges. Old men gather the children
at evening and tell them strange stories
of the almost fabulous long ago, when a
tramp of the dry plains was a work of
weary months, and the p~rospector
wandered with pick and pan over painless
heights in search of coveted gold. And
the morning shall rise as erst, not on
barren rocks and arid plains, but on the
last realm OF westward moving empire,
now become the populous heart of the en-
liNhtened world"
The gayel is a beautiful and costly
thing. 1t is polished ivory, with bands
of gold. The inscription is Eleventh
Legislative Assembly to Speaker Stephen
W. Downey." On the hammer ends is
printed the initials of each member. The
gayel was much admired by all.
A TIN CALF.
In a witty little address Mr.. McCor.
mick presented Mr.. Adams with a shining
tin maverick. The stock delegate re-
sponded that the gift was symbolic of the
concession OF the grangers to the range
interest, the asking for gold and getting
tin. There was much merriment over
this incident.

Territorial Council.
THE APPOINTMENTS.

lhE AIBOlNlMENlS.
The council went into executive session
at IL o'clock yesterday morning on the
governors nominations. Those first acted
upon were John q. Davis. William DAILY
and j. G. Rankin for penitentiary build
ing commissioners, who will have charge
of the construction of the penitentiary at
Rawlins. They were confirmed by unani-
nous vote. OF the old commissioners
one man lives out of the territory, another
a considerable distance from the town of
Rawlins. while the third, it was under
stood, did not wish to serve any longer.
Only two names were sent by the gov
ernor as successors to Tim Kinney and
Colin Hunter, members of the peniten-
tiary commission, which has charge of all
territorial convicts. Messrs. Hunter and
Kinney are members of the council, and
under the resolutions adopted a few days
ago, in which 1t was decided to retain the
present territorial officials, the question o.
what the council would do under the cir,
cumstances was a decidedly interesting
one. The spectators were not loft long in
doubt. J. c. Dyer of Rawlins was con.
frmed by a unanimous vote to succeed
Mr.. Kinney, and H. G. PASCAL of Lara
mic to succeed Mr.. Hunter.
For coal mine inspector the governor
bad proposed David G. Thomas of Rock
Springs, to succeed the present incum
bent, c. G. Epperson of Evanston. The
vote stood 6 to 6, which retains Mr.. Ep-
person in his position.
For territorial librarian the governor
proposed Miss Minnie E. Slaughter. She

and has for many years been his assistant.
Owing to his advancing years Judge
Slaughter is anxious to retire. The nom
ination of Miss Slaughter was unanimous.
ly confirmed.
There was some friction during the
course of the executive session. Mr.. Nc.
Gill wanted the resolutions adopted a
few days ago read again and Chief Clerk
Glafcke performed this duty. Then be
wanted to discuss them. President Beck
ruled that as these resolutions had been
adopted they could not be again discussed
except by unanimous consent. Mr.. Muir
ply objected on the ground that life was
too short. The executive session was
then dissolved.
When the name of Chas. A. Camp
bell came up for consideration that gem
tlemanI stated that he had resigned the
position previous to the opening Of tie
session. The council had voted to in
crease the enoluments hence he did not
believe the appointment would be a legal
one. He asked his friends to vote against
it. Vote 7 to s..
e. W. Burdick for auditor and Henry
G.. Hay for treasurer were not confirmed.
Louis D. Ricketts, was confirmed for geOl-
ogist. The live stock commissioners were
confirmed. Robert G. Morris, territorial
stenographer and John McAvoy poor
farm commissioner were not confirmed.
At the afternoon session there was a
large attendance of ladies'. The early
mart of the session was devoted to the
adoption of resolutions OF thanks to Chief
Clerk GIafcke, Assistant Clerk Breckons,
Judge Kuykendall, enGrossing and en-
rolling clerk; Mrs. Fannie Ollerenshaw,

A PROPHETIC SPEECH.

LET the carpet Dagger, expelled finally
from every state in the American union
with the brand of disgrace stamped upon
his brow, lift up his head once more and
turn his face toward the setting sun. Utah
beckons him to new field of pillage and
fresh pastures of pilfering. Let him pack
his grip-sack and start. The Mormons
have no friends and no one will come for
ward to defend or protect their rights. A
returning board, from whose decisions
there is no appeal, sent out from the Amer
can Congress baptized with the spirit of
persecution and intolerance, will enter
Utah to trample beneath their feet the
rights of the people of that far-of and i'll
fated land. Mr.. Speaker, l would not place
a dog under the dominion of set Of carpet
baggers REINFORCED by returning board,
unless meant to have him robbed of his
bone A more grinding tyranny, more
absolute despotism was never established
over any people. n-Hon John f. House, of
Tennessee, in the House Of Representatives.,

THE TICKET.

The Liberal ticket, as completed by the
convention, is an Improvement on the
ticket made up in the several wards, but
the improvement is not so great as to be
overpowering. Mr.. GEORGE NJ. SCOTT, the
nominee for mayor, is good man, but not
a strong one; he is a man without a record
which would indicate that he is the proper
person to stand at the head of the city
government and direct the affairs of the
mum cipality; he has done nothing to sug-
gest that he will be equal to the perform
ance of the duties devolving upon the
mayor of Salt Lake Having said that he
is clean man and good citizen, one has
exhausted the subject. The same thing
can be said of hundred other men who
have lived here for longer or shorter
periods, quietly attending to their ewn
affairs, and deporting themselves as gentle
men; and any one of the hundred would
make just as good mayor as Mr.. SCOTT.
However, we confess an obligation to the
Liberal convention for placing clean man
at the head Of the ticket, and thus
showing some regard for the feelings of
the decent element in the ranks of the
party. There are some respectable men
among the Liberals, and they thought they
were not to be recognized or taken into &C
count when they looked over the list of ir
responsibles and blatherskites sent up from
the wards. The other general nominations
by the convention, with the exception OF the
man CUTE, are also Of better character
than those Of the wards. There are not
enough of these, however, to redeem the
ticket, which still continues thoroughly
representative of the tag, rag and oobtail
class. Instead of purifying the whole, will
not that which is clean become foul! There
is danger of it. Men with fair regulations
should be careful how they take such
chances
But let US ask. what the mayor, the mar
shall and the treasurer can do, with such a
council as their master! They will be
powerless for good or evil except as the
council may direct. They are simply the
agents or servants of the council, and must
either do the latter's bidding or do nothing.
However, it is hardly worth while to
further discuss in this strain. The
ticket having been completed and
the convention having Endorsed the
ward nominations, the People have
little cause for apprehension as re
CARDS their own nominees. Those who
doubted, when they saw the colonization
and trickery of the Liberals, that the Peo-
pie would be able to succeed against the
frauds and crookedness, no longer fear
the weakness of the Liberal ticket having
convinced them of their own ability to win
It is known that almost to man the young
men who strayed into the Liberal fold last
August are back in the ranks with their
friends; such of them as have not re
turned will now come back, being ashamed
of their desertion and disguised with the
men the party has put up for them to vote
into control Of the city. Then there are
scores of Liberal rrorerty-ownersw who MAY
like Mr.. ScoTT well enough, but who viii
turn against him because he is found il
bad company.
The majority for the Peoples ticket viii
be entirely satisfactory.

vention. The tide was not running in favor
of Registrar CLUTE, who was hungry
candidate for Office, and it looked as if he
would be left out in the cold, when Nc
CALLUM rushed to the front with the claim
that his friend should be given the place
as reward for his services as registration
officer. The delegates at once recognized
the force of the appeal, and nominated Mr..
CLUTE, though they wished Mr.. MCCALLUM
had not been so COMPOUNDED blunt and out
spoken in the matter. There are some Lib
erals who still retain a certain regard for
decency. and think there should be a show Of
respect for the proprieties; these men saw
the indecency of party rewarding an Off
cial for rank partisan services in the per-
Torrance of his duties

A SUGGESTION TO HIS EXCELLENCY.

Inasmuch as Congress is, as rule, rather
slow in passing the various bills which are
introduced, we are surprised that Governor
THOMAS did not ask the present legislative
body to make law giving him the power
''to appoint the following county officers:
Selectmen, clerks, recorders, superintend-
ents of district schools and assessors"
We all remember that the legislature
passed bill giving to tue ladies in this
territory the right to vote, and that previ-
Gus to the passage of said bill the so called
Liberals had been to Washington and
asked Congress to pass such measure.
The HERALD is sure that there viii
not be the least difficulty in get
ting the present members of the Leg
islature to pass any bill which
is in the interests of the people of this ter
ritory, and of course the governors sug-
gestion that ''some federal agency" etc,
was made in the interests of the people,
and because of his love for them he also
had the bill introduced in Congress, making
him that federal agency"
The fact of the matter is, we are like
MARK TWAIN when he referred to the pain
he would have in parting with his guide,
FERGUSON. He was harrassed with doubts
whether FERGUSON would feel the same.
We confess that we are also harrassed
with doubts as to the sincerity and the
honesty of purpose in the governors sug-
gestion in the federal agency matter
If he is really sincere and honest we
suggest to him that he make his recon-
meudation to the legislature. We don't
charge anything for the suggestion either,
and that is considerable, inasmuch as his
excellescy has to depend mainly on getting
his cash from the public crib
There is something else that might be
added to the recommendation which was
not in the annual report, and it is about as
follows: Congress having taken all OF
the jurors away from the majority of the
people and given their selection into the
hands of the minority, and trial by jury
of mans peers having become in Utah a
farce; the supreme court having decided
that the governor shall appoint the ter
ritorial officers, and the President of the
United States having the appointing OF
the probate judges in Utah, therefore, il
seems to me, your governor, that it is alb
surd in this free country that you as peo
pie should have the selecting of any of your
own officers who are to eXpend the taxes
which you pay, and therefore ask that the
power be given me to fill the few offices
now elective, and 1 will, in case of the pas
sage of such law, promise thatit shall not
be vetoed. This is promise, as you are
well aware, which l seldom ever make
And now that think of it, should be glat
to have you include all of the city and pre-
cinct officers in the number that l an
to have the power to appoint, as by Sc
doing 1 can save you a considerable amount
of labor and at the same time / may make
a friend or two by putting them in office
And as in duty bound your petitioner vii
ever pray"
Governor, you are welcome to the las
suggestion at the same price as the first
and in case you see fit to change the Ian
guage of the petition we will not feel ag
| grieved.
