THE NEW EDMUNDS BILL.

The attention of the non Mormon por-
ton of the public is directed to the bill in
troduced in the Senate, by EDMUNDs, last
Wednesday, and which appears in full in
this issue of The HERALD. 1t will furnish
very interesting reading and supply food
for reflection. Under the existing law the
governor, secretary, judges, commission
ers, marshal, auditor, treasurer, probate
judges, and territorial superintendent of
President of the United States or governor
of the territory, the people having nothing
to do with the selections. In fact, were
the voters to recommend a man
for any OF these offices, it would
be sufficient to insure his rejection
by the appointing power. This was all
done to deprive the Mormons of the right
to manage their own internal affairs. Now
Senator EDMUNDs proposes to take away
the elective franchise from Gentiles as well,
by leaving no offices to fill by popular vote.
To the above list of appointive officers are
added those of county clerks, selectmen,
assessors, recorders and county superin-
tendents of district schools, and the gov
ernor is to be given power TO appoint. Why
justices of the peace, constables and fence
viewers were not included in the officers
to be named by the executive can be ex-
planned upon no other theory than that as
they seldom, if ever, have anything to do OF
handle any money, the governor did
not want to be bothered with them If the
bill shall be passed in its present shape,
however, we should respectfully petition
that justices and constables be made APP
pointive, even though it would be trouble
some and non-remuuerative to his excel
lency, for it would not be worth the while
Of the people to have campaign and give
up day to voting for these two officers
The Gentiies should read the bill and
know that it is framed in accordance with
the suggestion of the governor, if not by
his hand.

CENSUS OF MANUFACTURES.

The work of collecting statistics Of man
ufactures for the eleventh census will be
inaugurated on June 2. Of course the
value of the report will depend entirely
upon the accuracy and thoroughness with
which the manufacturers answer the ques-
tions propounded. The superintendent of
the census sends to the press, with re-
quest for its publication, circular setting
forth that the interests of the manufacture
ers are involved in the character of the re-
port, which will be quoted for the next ten
years as the official announcement of the
exact industrial condition of the country,
and will be the basis for any future legis-
lation that may be enacted in regard to the
wants of our people, whether engaged in
agricultural or mechanical pursuits.
Therefore it is of vital Importance to each
manufacturer that an accurate report shall
be made.
Every manufacturer should bear in mind
that his answers to the questions relating
to his business are held strictly confden
tial, are not disclosed to any competitor or
to other persons, and are not used by the
government as predicate for the purposes
of taxation or license, or in any way to ad
versely affect his individual business.
This assurance is printed on each schedule
over the signature of the superintendent
census.
The expert special agent in charge of
this branch of the census work, Mr..
FRANK r. WILLIAMS, has personally visited
the principal manufacturing centers and
consulted representative manufacturers,
the publishers of trade journals, and prac-
tical business men generally, for the pur
pose of ascertainlng the proper scope of
the inquiry for each branch of manufac-
ture. The questions contained in the CEN
sus schedules are suggested by the manu-
facturers and other persons most interested
in the progress of the country, and cover
ground absolutely essential to the proper
presentation of its industrial conditions
and resources.
Utah manufacturers, we are certain,
may be relied upon to furnish correct in
formation. 1t is especially desirable that
the territory shall have full and reliable
showing in the census reports, when the
world can learn how much we are doing in
the way of progress and development.

EDMUNDS UNIVERSITY.

SENATOR EDMUNDs may be a statesman,
but some of the things he does would indi-
cate that the contrary is the fact. For in
stance, the other day he introduced in the
Senate bill TO establish q national uni
versity at Washington, of course at the ex-
pense of the people. There was nothing
statenlesmanlike in that. Rather was it the
opposite. If it would not he illegal it
would certainly be unjust and improper to
take the taxes Of all the people with which
to support school the benefits of which
could never be in the least degree enjoyed
by more than one in hundred thousand of
the population. II would be manifestly
improper and irequitable to compel the
people of Dakota, Oregon, Utah, or in fact
of any other state to contribute to the
support of university in Washington.
which the taxpayers would not patronize
and in the control of which the men who
maintained it would have no voice. 1t
would be Capitalization in its extreme and
gliest form to establish the institution,
being the beginning of the sch eme to place
all education under the immediate control
of the government.

respects. 1t provides that the study of
Christian theology shall not be excluded
from the curriculum. Christian theology
is as varied and various as the Christian
sects are numerous. That which would be
studied and taught in Senator EDMUNDs'
university would be the kind peculiar to
the church of which the professors were
members, and all other kinds of Christian
theology would be excluded as carefully
ss others than the Christian theology of
the Roman Catholics are kept out of schools
controlled by the papacy.
And again, nobody is to DO excluded from
the university on account of color or citizen

A CoNTEMfTIBLE DEFENSE.

If there is anything more mean and
despicable than the conduct Of those sheets
and individuals who are attempting to
bring party feeling and party prejudice into
the matter of the DINwooDEY fire, The
HERALD would like to be apprized of it. In
their own souls we believe the men who
are defending Mr.. STANTON know that the
management of the fire was UNANIMOUSLY in
competent, but he is a Liberal pet, put inhis
place by a Liberal council, and it will not
do for a Liberal to criticise him. To cover
up the meanness of their own conduct in
this matter, the Liberal sheets allege that
THE HERALD's charges are made for party
reasons, "a lie so contemplate that it does
not need noticing. THE HERALD gives
every man credit for what he performs,
and we can say right here that the firemen
worked as hard and unhaggingly as men
could, and that the police regulation that
governed the fire were in the main admir-
able. But there was not a twelve year old
boy in the throng that witnessed the fire
who did not know that thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable goods could have
been pulled out of the front of the DIN
being fought in the rear, and that the
flames could have been held back
better, and in al probability
smothered, if they had been
fought from the front. This was the colos-
sal, if not criminal blunder, and it should
not be CLOSED over and covered up, no mat
ter whether the perpetrators name were
STANTON, or OTTISGER, or NooKEs, OF
STOKES, or STYLES, or BROWN.
We would like to ask that fawnine
sycophant, the Tribune, who slobbered over
Chief STANTON with column of apologies
before he had been attacked, what would
have been its utterances had this fire oc
Cured while the Mormons had control OF
the fire department! Surprising some
large establishment belonging to Liberia
had caught fire; that the fire was held Il
the rear of the store for over one hour; thai
that time was not used to save the valuable
stock as it might have been, and that the
Liberal saw his whole stock 60 up il
smoke, not so much as handkerchief DO,
saved from the flames, wouldn't he be very
apt to sue the Mormon city council fol
damages owing to the gross Incompetence
of its fire chiefs Wouldn't the Tribun
back him up in it, and wouldn't he be very
apt to secure verdict?
We believe the overwhelming majority o
Salt Lakes business men to-day are tel
times more apprehensive for their propert,
in case of a fire than they were under th,
regime of the Peoples party and Chic
OTTINGER.

THE DELAY in the passage Of the Idaho

due partly to the growing apprehension in

in Congress would not be troubled by q
little thing like that. 1t knows how to

Mr.. GlLFORTH'S TASTE.
By EMMA A. OPPER.

Wallace parted from Mary Henderson,
and from her small second cousin, who
was her constant charge, and walked
back to his hotel.
But he did not seem to be alone. Her
presence fingered with him. He saw
her yellow head and her clear gray ewes,
and her SHINY tall form. And he knew
why the thought of marriage had always
reused sarcastic spirit within him-he
had never seen Mary Henderson.
When he had set off for the Catskills
a month ago, he would have scoffed at
the notion of losing his heart there.
Well, he had, and he was blissful in the
knowledge.
He should see her again that evening;
she was to give little dance at their
pretty cottage. But his thoughts were
full of her. When he sat down on the
hotel piazza, he found it hard to get his
mind on Mrs. Morgan, young matron
doing fancy work in willow chair
"Your're always out, Mr. Oakley" she
greeted him, ''and We old married peo-
pie stay at home and crochet I haven't
got around bit, and / don't know a
soul. The Hendersons, now, ought to
know them; they're old acquaintance of
my friend Mrs. Berdan, in the city, and
I saw Miss Henderson once. Do you
know them?"

boyish shyness.

having paused to count ten stitches,

man and all that, but that she doesn't
like the idea of Mary's marrying
widower anyhow. But his wife, who
was Mary's cousin, and an orphan, died
four years ago-little Alice is six now
and the Hendersons took the child. And
Mary has been q second mothor to her.
/ suppose that was the way it began.
Anyhow, it's settled thing now, though

they do. make such a fne-looking couple!

He's so dignihed, and Mary is, and she
suits his taste exactly. Mrs. Berdan says
it was almost inevitable, and everybody
foresaw it from the first. | know all
about them, you see," Mrs. Morgan
laughed, "though don't know them.
Ask Miss Henderson to come and see me,
won't you2 I'd be delightedr' said Mrs.
Morgan, cordially.
She recalled afterward that Mr.. Oak
ley had turned rather pale face away
from her, and passed his hand across it
once or twice, and sat in odd silence, and
excused himself abruptly. But she did
not notice it at the time, because the
nurse arrived on the scene just then with
the heir to the house of Morgan, In short
clothes.
The Hendersons' trim lawn looked
fairylike that evening.
''Just Isrt of evening garden party
for such people as we know" Miss
Henderson had said to Wallace that
morning.

'sThe boys" had come back 70 the farm,
Which all through ones life bears d charm;
And though we were all sturdy men,

And ran down the pasture barefooted;
We stole out of childhood day,
And filed it up brirnful of play.

The wood where the owl used TO halloo-
Who-oo! who-oo!
The barn full of hay,
Where many day
We tumbled over the mows;
The grass in the meadow was growing.
The cows in the meadow were lowing
Mo-oo! mo-oo!
Alb, life has no joy
Like that of a boy
Running barefooted after the cowsl
We ate of the apples that fell
From the harvest tree over the wall;
For never in life could we meet
With apples that seemed half so sweet;
Nor water had we ever tasted
Like that which the spring ever wasted;
For God made the vintage to flow
From the winepress Of pebbles below.
The squirrel so proud of his tail,
The chipmunk. who travels by rail,
The blackbird, the robin, the jay
Each gave us greeting that day.
The pastimes of boyhood we courted
In places where once we had sported.
And when the old dinner horn blew
We felt the old hunger anew.

We waded and fished in the stream,
Which somehow looked shallow and small,
Nor did the old trees seem as tall.
Each idol Of boyhood seemed shattered,
And even the kingfsher clattered.
No power can bring back the joys
Of childhood to overgrown boys.
Not the same was the pond nor the swal

The wood where the owl used to halloo,
Who-oo! Who-oo!
The barn full of hay
Seemed smaller that day.
We tumbled over tho mows,
New grass in the meadow was growing,

Moo-oo! Moo-oo!
We felt not the joys,
We were not the boys
