THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.
Miss Coleman's Escort Comes Back at Officer
Siegfus

There are certainly two sides to the
story of the arrest of Miss Coleman by
Officer Siegfus recently. The officers
version appeared in yesterdays HERALD.
Last evening, young gentleman who is in
a position to know the facts, made the fol-
lowing statement TO reporter: 81 was at
the Plumbers ball with Miss Coleman
the other night. After the dance, Miss
Coleman, myself and another lady left, and
this was about 2 80 a. ID. We escorted the
other lady home, and then, as | awaited u
short time, Miss Coleman started back up
Main street, walking slowly, aud telling
me to oyertake her. Ii she was looking
back when she went up the street as
though looking for some one-as Officer
Slegfus says she vast was simply be-
cause she was looking for me, which was
quite natural. This was the first and only
time she went up the street alone, and
l am prepared to swear to it.
1t was now getting along towards morn
ing, and she walked TO the Raymond house
TO walt Tor tue first car, ana between 4 anu
O'Clock the policeman arres, @ her. Miss
Coleman has an excellent reputation among
all who know her. That has been fully
established in this affair, but l might add
that know her to be IL lady, and she could
hot have been guilty Of such conduct as the
officer charges. She wished to avoid no
torlety and let the police committee decide
the matter, instead of trying to fight 1t out
In the newspapers, but since the officer has
published his statement, | think it due to
the lady that | should make mine''

THEY ARE IN FOR IT
Maxey Beaver and W. w. Good
rich Arrested.
ILLEGAL WORK AT BINGHAM.
They waive Examination and are Held to
Await the Action of the Grand
jury.

W. w. Goodrich and Maxey Beaver, the
enterprising judges of election who have
run the elections at Bingham in the inter
ests OF the Liberal party, have come to
grief. 1t will be remembered that when
the Ferguson Allen election contest case
was on trial before Judge Anderson these
two worthless testified that at the August
election they allowed large number OF
strangers" to vote at the third poll in the
names OF absences whom they had known
1or years. Perhaps they thought that this
conduct was simply in accordance with the
principles OF the party and was O. K, or
they may have believed in the old adage
1hat ian open confession is good
Tor the soul" Be that as it
may, their conduct has brought
tnem into position from which they can
see the prison bars without much straining.
,: II. ellison recently swore out COM
plant before Commissioned Pratt, in
winch he alleged that at the August cleo
ton Goodrich and Beaver were the Judges
at poll B, Bingham; that they were fur
nlshed with a list of the registered voters on
winch We're the names of Messrs Dol
brook, Nolan, Hall, Jones, F'rier, Deighton
and others; that they knowingly received
ballots in the names of such persons, know
ing that the men who offered them were
other than those whose names appeared on
the list; that they deposited these fraudu-
lent votes in the ballot box
Deputy Marshal Bush arrested the de-
1endants yesterday and brought them to
this city last evening, when they were
taken before Commissioner Pratt. They
waived examination and were released
upon giving bonds IN the sum of 81 500 to
appear before the grand Jury

THE CHRISTMAS HERALD.

Some advance copies of THE HERALD's

the whole edition will be out during the

three pen and INK subjects, Lake Mary,

telegraph page of The HERALD, on the
day the Democratic wave swept the nation.
The contents have been carefully edited
with the sole view of giving brief, read

SHOULD JURIEs BE ABOLISHED ?

We gave cur reasons why we believed
that jury composed almost exclusively of
Liberals had violated their oaths in bringing
in verdict OF guilty against JOHN j.
STOCKING, accused of perjury in connec-
ton with charge of non-residence pre-
ferred against Liberal voter at our last
municipal election
1t is therefore with pleasure that we note
the action of Judge ZANE in setting aside
the verdict, with the rem ark that 1t was a
surprise to him when rendered
We have little fear that a subsequent
trial, if indeed the matter is brought to
trial again, will result in conviction, and
therefore congratulate the accused upor
not only his escape from imprisonment,
but upon his being relieved from the stain
of perjury

taken to the bench in the northeastern part
of this city. BY this method one set Of
mains to some extent parallels the other
set.
Perhaps the reason for this peculiar dis
tribution of the water is that the north
benchers" have no claim on the waters of
City creek, and the least bepchers'' have
no claim on the waters of Emigration, so
they get the city to bring water to them
from distan &c, and then no one will know
the difference If the water supply is short
next season, however, the difference will
be noticed.
The first duty of the city council is to
procure an abundant supply of water for
this city, so that the whole city can be sup
Piled with water No other need is so
pressing In no other way can the present
iarring of conflicting interests be over
come. That the present council with the
enormous fund it had to begin with did not
settle this question, as it should have done,
is matter of regretful concern to every
property owner of this city. But there is
yet time and money enough to settle it for
the next few seasons at once. We hope
the council will take this hint.

THE DIRECT TAX.

The idea of replacing the tariff by direct
taxation is gaining ground. Certainly
every one should know just how much he
pays to the general government. for much
the same reasons that he should know the
amount of his city, county, or other taxes.
AS it is now, each man is unaware of how
much he really pays IN government taxes,
and II he knew he would probably object to
the payment of so large an amount, or he
would feel deeper interest in the expendi-
ture OF the money required of him.
Mr.. GLADSTONE, who is by no means a
friend of the income tax said Of it in 1881 :
This is the great glory of the tax that it
has been the means of enabling us
thoroughly to reform our financial system
thoroughly to relieve the Industries of the
country; and to bring back into the treas
usy OF the community ten pounds and
twenty pounds for every pound that has
been levied in the form of the income tax u
There is good reason to believe that the
abolition of indirect taxation in this conn
try, whether replaced by the income tax or
by some other kind, would have the same
effect in this country that the income tax
NAG IN England.
Professor SUMNER says of the direct tax:
Il presume that it will be long time be-
fore the public will be so enlightened as to
demand to feel every cent that it pays in
taxes for the very sake of knowing the
amount, but | am clear in regard to the
wisdom of such an arrangement"
Vi course the protectionists ard the ben
eficlaries of the tariff will object TO direct
taxation, for the very reason that the peo-
pie will then know just how much the gov
eminent takes from them; authors and pro
moters of the vast schemes by which the
treasury IS plundered will also object; some
statesmen may object because indirect
taxes are paid unconsciously and hence un.
grudgingly; but extravagant taxation is
none the less unjust because it is unknown
IN amount and collected so secretly that the
taxpayer knows not how, where or when it
is done.

IT WAS in speech made at Burlington.
Iowa, just before the recent election that
Speaker REED had great deal to say about
the intelligence of the people generally.
and especially the people of that state.
I'VE sare," said he, "a people intelligent
enough to govern ourselves, not by the
wisdom of few, but by the average in
telligence of all. The laws made by us
are better for US than laws made by the
archangels. Where will you find higher
average OF Intelligence than you find here (.
The new tariff bill is a bill created by the
Intelligence Of the people" And now Mr.
REED is one of those who explain that the
people were too thick headed to under
stand' the bill which had been ''createdn
by their own ''intelligence.

PRESS COMMENTS.

San Francisco Examiner: "Superintend-
ent Porter is to agile. He does not give
the public time to become acquainted with
one of his guesses at the population Of t le
country before he springs another On the
30th OF October he published what he called

appeared that the United States, lacking
Alaska and the Indian Territory had in
round numbers 62,500,000 people. A
month later he guessed again. BY this
corrected count he found al 900 inhabit-
ans more than before, with Alaska and

to the Indian territory and 80. 900 to Alaska.
he appears to have created about
a million people in the rest of
the country solely by the power of
mind over matter. 1t will be point of in
terest to observe whether he allots these
teeming creations of his brain, represent
ing about six additional members of Con-
gress and electoral votes. to Republican or
Democratic states.
If Mr., Porter will guess awhile longer he
may be able to pry US up to the seventy
million mark. 1t ought to be as easy to
create six million people as one million.
The report of the secretary of the interior
contains a table designed to show how
much further along the present census
takers have been compared with the last
ones at corresponding times. Mr.. Porter's
first count of October 80. since superseded
by two others, is cited, and then we are
told that Mr.. Walker did not tell the popu-
lation of the United States by the census of
1880 until January 10, 1881. The secretary
forgets to add that when Mr.. Walker did
tell the population we knew what it was.
