Mrs. j. H. Shlnault, mother of
j. D. Woods, Esq, of Hickory
Valley, died at her home in Upton
county last Monday. Previous to
her last marriage she was resident
of this county, in which she has
numerous friends and acquaintance
who will regret to hear of her death.
John r. Mckinnie, late of the
vicinity of Hickory Valley, who
moved to Jackson for the purpose
of obtaining better educational fa-

the slaves.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

A telegram from Washington says the
House committee on judiciary will report
an amendment TO the constitution, provid
ing for the election of Unite States Sen
ators by the direct vote of the people. 1t
is doubted that the Senate will con-
eur. and it may be questioned that the state
legislatures will ratify the amendment.
The majority of the members of the upper
house of Congress do not represent the
people of their respective states and they
know it. They know that if the election
had been left to the voters the choice
would have been different. They know
that they bought, either directly or indi-
rectlY, the seats they occupy, and
that the purchase was not made
from the voters. They also know that if a
different mode of selection shall be de-
vised whereby the people and not the poll
ticians are to be dealt with, mighty few
millionaires will thereafter sit in the
Senate as brains rather than cash will in
fuence the voters in making their choice.
Thus it viii be seen that there are reasons
why the Senate will not be disposed to
agree with the House in this matter, the
cause the few old Senators who might be
returned to feel like strangers IN the hall.
There are also reasons of a peculiarly forci-
bic nature why the legislatures of good
many states would reject the proposition.
These legislatures regard Senatorial cleo
tons as bonanzas, and look forward to
them with the eagerness born OF love
Of cash. AS matters are going, it will only
be a few years when a legislator
can sell a vote for Senator for enough to
give him ard his family trip abroad, and
set him up in business on his return. What
would the statesmen of Nevada do if they
did not have the Senatorial election Doodle
TO divide every three years Some of
them, we imagine, would conclude that the
sagebrush state no longer furnished
sufficient inducements to hold them
within its borders. And California, also
why, we have seen it in print that Sen
atorial election there not so very many
years ago cost the successful candidate not
less than a hundred thousand dollars.
And Ohio and Michigan are notorious
for the enormous sacks which are opened
when a Senator is to be chosen The
money does not go to the voters, that is
clear; and it is also equally clear that it
goes somewhere. Those who are in the
habit OF getting their hands into the bar
rels are not apt to seek change, nor are
those who hope to get their hands there.
The proposed amendment is proper and
1t would be Immensely popular for it would
give the people an opportunity tc say some
thing as to their representatives in the
upper as well as in the lower branch of
Congress; but we doubt that the amend
ment viii be adopted; at least that it will
be adopted now.

THE BRIEF telegraphic mention, the
other day, of the bill introduced in the
House of Representatives by MIR. BAKER,
'to further amend an act entitled an act to
regulate commerce, ''did not convey an i'm
preston of the meanness of the measure.
The text of the bill having 5een received it
is seen to be largely in the interest of the
railroads, the ostensible object of the
measure being to protect the people against
imposition by common carriers For in
stance, it sets out to protect the purchaser
of ticket against the reputation of the
same by the carrier, by providing that the
issuing company shall redeem any unused
portion OF the ticket, and in the same sec
ton makes il misdemeanor for any per
son to sell a partially used ticket. the pun
ishment being fine of s., 900 and imprison
ment for ore year. Thus, man
holding ticket from Omaha to San Fran
cisco, gets off the train at Salt Lake and
concluding to remain here, sells the unused
portion Of his ticket and lays himself liable
to the heavy fine and Imprisonment above
mentioned. The Law would break I'D the
ticket brokerage business, and it would
also break up good many travellers. 1t is
not thought that the bill will pass. as
numerously signed protests against IL are
going up from all sections Of the country.

THE MILWAUKEE Sentinel is one of the
rampant organs of the protectionists, al
ways faithful to the party which insists
that extraordinary taxation in the form of
high tariff duties is in the interest of
American Industries and American labor.
Commenting on the conduct of the House
ways and committee ii first putting
a protective tax on imported hides and then
taking it off, the Sentinel says: ut has,
however, been shown that the imports
have scarcely increased since the duty was
removed. They were hardly 10 per cent.
greater last year than they were in 1871,
before the duty was removed, while the
supply of American hides marketed has in
creased 124 per cent" This is confession
that was unexpected. 1t must have been
inadvertent. The argument all the time is
that free trade would bring disaster and
ruin to the industries of the country, and
starvation to American workingmen who
cannot compete with the pauper working
men of other countries; but here is pro-
tectionist organ admitting that the Ameri-
can hide industry has actually increased
124 per cent. under free trade, while the
importation Of foreign hides has not per-
ceptibly grown. If this has been the case
with reference to hides, why will not the
rule follow If the duty shall be removed
from wool and other articles?

A Rather Cutting Re;oinder.

Some years ago rather amusing incident
took place in one of the most splendid of the
New York hotels which is too good not to be
related. A swell young gentleman was a
boarder in the house, and, preferring not to
eat at the table d'hote, had his meals served
in his own private parlor with all the Gle
gance for which the establishment was noted
Being somewhat annoyed with the airs of the
servant who waited upon nina negro Of
very sooty COMPASSIONATE requested him ono
day at dinner to retire. The negro bowed
and took his stand directly behind the gem
tleman's chair. Surprising him gone, it was
with some Impotence that few miputeq
later the gentleman sew him step forward to
remove the soup.

THE STATEHOOD QUESTION.

Since the Republican majority in all
branches OF the federal government has
Determined upon strengthening its hands at
whatever cost, it might be proper for the
people who comprise the body polite to
ask that at least consideration of the
question at issue be ordered
No one who is truthful and who has ever
read THE HERALD continuously. or who
knows aught of its aims, its policy and its
purposes, viii say that this paper has ever
given sanction to any proceedings looking
to the exclusion Of any territory from the
union when it had the necessary pepuia-
ton. intelligence and wealth to entitle it to
admission, and in giving opinions on this
matter the mere question of party politics
has never at all stood In the way While
having decided preference for the princi-
pies of the Democratic party, we have nev-
ertheless expressed decided and unqualified
condemnation for such partisan tactics as
caused the substantial rights Of any of the
dependencies to be overlooked or even
sighted; and Of course this was not al
together or peculiarly the work of THE
HERALD any more than now it is its exclu.
sve mission to ask the nation at large 10
pause and consider before the pell mel
work in the matter of bringing in new
sovereignties has gone to such point that
even the Indian territory may not much
longer be saved to that political district of
the country of which Utah is at present the
most shining light.
TO say that the admission of Wyoming
and Idaho by the Republican party is in
full accordance with patriotic purpose is
TO say something which must certainly ex-
cite the risibilities OF the most phlegma.
tic They know, and we all know,
that it was and is merely to strengthen the
hands of those who are fast finding on;
that without some such adventitious assist
ance they are doomed as surely TO decay in
the immediate as they are to irretrievable
defeat in the near future. There is no pat
riotic purpose in the matter. If Idaho and
Wyoming were surely Democratic terri
+ories, there would be no such proceedings
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-04-05

to record and they would have to wait until
by reason of popular pressure backed by
people and resources, admission could no
longer be denied
Ihe Republicans cannot say that their
chief opponents do likewise without being
confronted by history; otherwise they
would do it, for a strict observance OF facts
as they are and circumstances as they
ought to be is not a Republican weakness.
To the Democratic party more than to any
others and to all others is due the vast ex-
pansion OF country, by conquest and dipio-
macy, of which our own favored territory
forms part and the remainder Of
which the rule and ruin party is
trying under the diaphanous plea
OF justice to the territories to
run into the union as so many free and
accepted states. AL of the additions to the
household accomplished by the benefcent
rule of Democracy have been legitimate
and proper, adding to the lustre of our
fame abroad and our solid strength and
prosperity at home. The thought CT a
sagebrush Senator or sandbed Congress-
man in connection with the rights of a
state, presently or prospectively, was
hardly ever entertained; and more particu-
larly was this the case when the matter of
the proposed states ability to support itself
was predetermined and it's ability to reflect
credlS upon the nation through its repre-
sentatives in Congress was utterly out Of
the question.
THE HERALD favors the admission of
Wyoming and Idaho, if they are entitled to
it, not because they will probably send Re
publicaas to Congress; and it favors the
admission of New Mexico and Arizona, if
entitled to it, not because they would
probably send Democrats there. Above all
do we favor the admission of Utah, be-
cause there can be no question as to its
qualifications in all respects, and there
could be no question regarding the political
standing of her representatives.

WISE LOUISVILLE.

Louisville has set good example in de-
clining to call for assistance in her dis
tress. A terrible disaster overlook her,
hundreds OF her citizens being in NOM
ent deprived of their homes and temper
arily at least thrown upon the charity of
the world. The rule in such cases has
been to apply for aid, the appeal for assis-
lance being flashed abroad before the ex-
tent of the charity is known. Instead of
doing this, Louisville gave prompt notice
that she required no help, that she could
take care Of her own, and that nobody
would be left unprovided for A relief
committee was at once organized, and the
citizens sent in generous contributions, so
that sufficient money for the occasion was
not wanting. Had outside aid been asked
it would have been forthcoming, for the
American people are never slow to go to
The relief of those in distress. We imag-
inc the Louisville people, when they issued
notice that they did not seek aid, had in
mind the many instances when charity had
been misplaced and abuse. There was
never such response as in the case of
Johnstown, the generous=hearted every
where opening their purses and rendering
material help to the afflicted, but the re-
lief was not given, comparatively little of
the money reaching those for
whom it was intended. While
an abundance for all was sent, the want
and suffering continued for weeks and
months, incompetent or corrupt commit
tees withholding the peoples gifts from
the afflicted. Much of the relief fund yet
remains in the treasury, and now that the
distressed have provided for themselves,
the committeeman are trying to devise
ways for getting rid of the cash that was
sent to feed and clothe the victims When
Spokane Falls was laid in ashes last year
the American people again opened their
hearts and purses, and some weeks later
were astonished to learn that members OF
the relief committee had been systemat
ically stealing the contributions We i'm
agine the good people of Louisville though,
of these things, and concluded that they
would give no occasion for scandal. Theil
wisdom, as well as their independence, is tc
be commended.
