ing OF the proceeds. The EDMuNDs bill
was one for the relief of the supreme court
which seems to be annoyed by something
suggestive of conscience. The bill provides
that the stolen goods shall be dumped into
a mythical pot called public school fund.
And this is a measure which the venerable
Vermonter told the Republican Senators,
yesterday, that they must approve, and
they obeyed without whimper or protest.
We even question that some of them read
the bill; it was enough for them that it was
something against the Mormons, and that
EDauNDs wanted it passed.
The HERALD is glad of one thing, namely,
that the Democrats protested against the
robbery, and that they did their utmost to
have the stolen property SO disposed of that
those to whom it belonged would get the
benefit of their own. 1t is Furthermore to
the credit of the Democrats in the Senate
that the only member of the party who
voted with the Republicans to justify the
theft was PAYNE, the one Democrat who
grew rich by robbing the American people
and who obtained his seat in the chamber
by the liberal expenditure of his i'll gotten
money, if not by direct bribery. Such a
man might be expected to approve of such
an act. He would have been in the wrong
crowd had he stood with honest men fight
ing dishonesty.

USE HOME MATERIAL.

The property owner who asked the city
council the other night for the privilege of
laying Utah tagging instead of imported
cement in front of his lot is to be applauded.
1t is disgraceful, and is reflection on our
business intelligence, that with mountains
of the best tagging in the world within a
few hours of our door, we send to England
for material with which to construct side
walks that will be less substantial than
those of stone. In @ little while some street
paving will be undertaken, and we presume
that there will be those who insist upon
sending to Pennsylvania for bricks or to
Connecticut for stone paving blocks, al
though there is enough granite within an
hours ride of Salt Lake to pave all the
cities in America, and build walls around
them besides.
THE HERALD is heart and hand with the
gentleman who asks the privilege of
We believe. in the employment of home
labor, in the utilization of home materials,
in the development of home industries, and
in spending no money abroad for anything
which can be obtained here Within the
next five years it is probable that million
dollars will be expended for paving streets
and sidewalks in this city, and if we can have
cur way not dollar of the money will &c
outside the territory to pay for labor OF
material which can be obtained in Utah
1t may cost more TO employ ourselves and
use our own materials but in the long rur
we will save money.
In this connection let US suggest that {
test be at once made of the Cottonwood
granite for pavement, and if it will answer
as we believe it will, no other material fol
paving East Temple, and perhaps FRS
and Second South streets, should be talked
about. 1t is also suggested that if the own
ers of some of the sandstone quarries O
Provo valley will fetch in few slabs fol
exhibition, their enterprise will be re
warded by handsome orders.

LOTTERIES.

When the figures are published it is easy
enough to understand how the Louisiana
Lottery company can afford to offer
sl,000,0O0 a year for the privilege of con-
Quoting its business on a lawful basis.
1t Is said that for the April drawing the
ticket sales aggregated s2.000,0a0 while
the prizes amounted to s., 054 500, the profit
to the company being S945, 200. As the
company drew some of the prizes, it's
profits from that one drawing reached a
total of Sl,o00.000. Besides these monthly
affairs there are daily drawings for small
prizes, the profits from which are proper
tonate with those of the greater event. 1t
Is, therefore, plain that the company can
pay million year in the form of license:
but it is not clear why people will patron
lze the swindling concern, knowing
that the game is of the ''sure
thing" variety, one dollar of every
two paid in being covered into
the treasury as profit, while the other dol
| uted both. 1t would seem that if men and
women-for many of the latter are regular
| contributors TO the robbery-were blessed
with even ordinary intelligence the lottery
company, instead of being able to pay over
eighty thousand dollars month as license
fee, would go out Of business. We are told
