Some Cold Facts.

When one sits down and calmly fig
ures up the number of bushels of pota-
toes which could have been bought for
the poor with the millions of dollars car
ried over to Paris and left there by
American visitors, he must roll his eyes
with astonishment. And when he reads
the estima ate that not more than one out
of ten of those visitors had ever seen
Niagara Falls, the Rocky mountains, the
Yosemite, or any of the other natural
attractions of the United States, he feels
like exclaiming:

An Absent Minded Man.

There is a man living in Hartford,
Conn, who deserves the prize for absent
mindedness. A few days ago he was
having his shoes shined by a street boot
black. Just as the job was finished
and the man had picked out nickel
from his purse, an acquaintance stepped
up and began talking. The first man
absent mindedly put the nickel in his
pocket and gave the purse to the boot
black, who seized it and disappeared.
The purse contained 2.15.-Chicago

ASPIRATION.

Ever higher while the turmoil
Thrills with silent pain the soul;
Ever higher while the storm waves
In their widest fury roll,
Through the strife and thro' the peace,
Through the griefs that DER US fall,
Through the light, and through the gloom
Ever higher through it all,
Higher yet, and higher, though
The perfumed roses droop, and fade,
While DER our weary way the upas
filings its cool and deadly shade.
Higher, though the sitting mists
Close round the gathering night of life,
While thro' the darkness clashing armor
Tells of fierce and deadly strife
Higher, though each step of progress
Leaves its mark in mortal pain;
Higher, though each upward motion
Racks the throbbing, tortured brain,
Through the wilderness of gloom,
Through the martyrs reddening fire,
Through the wondrous astral spaces,
Through the cons, ever higherl

IDAHO REPUBLICANS.

A dispatch from Blackf Dot, Idaho, which
appears elsewhere in this issue of THE
HERALD is interesting and amusing read
ing and places all the gentlemen named
IN it in an un5nvia5le light According to
the correspondent SHUoP and other lead
ing Republicans had Mr. r. S. SPENCE of
Bear Lake county, in tow, induced him to
look upon the wine when it was red, stuffed
him with lot of stuff about the inten-
tloo OF the Mornlons to vote and then in
duced him to unload the twaddie upon the
Jefferson Democratic club of Boise. And
thus something of a sensation was created,
the object being to help the Republicans
in general an Mr.. FRED DUBoIs in partcu-
lar In the comming state election. Truly
does the correspondent express it correctly
when he says. 1.-THE Republicans of Idaho
are getting into close quarters when the
leading officials of the party resort to tricks
that would be a disgrace to the leaders of a
gang Of rowdies from the New York Five
Points. at looks as if they had no hope of
winning by fair and square means; as if
they were desperate and were going to
rely on tricks and crooked politics to carry
them through. The anti-Mormon yell is
one of the tricks, but we apprehend that
the fraud is so transparent that nobody will
be caught by It.
If there is a man in Idaho who, can speak
authoritatively as to the intentions of the
Mormons regarding the suffrage, it is
President WILLIAM bulge, and he says
with emphasis, that the Mormons will not
tul- tha a
Nobody will assume to deny that President
bulge understands what he is talking
about, nor will anybody who knows the
man assume to say that he talks at random.
We don't believe it has ever been the in
tention of any considerable number of the
Idaho Mormons to try to get around the
test oath law, for of all those with whom
we have conversed on the subject not one
has suggested the making of an effort to
vote. Since the supreme court decision
affirming the validity of the test oath law,
the Mormons have considered themselves
out of politics in Idaho The writer asked
prominent Idaho Mormon in the presence
of number of his CO religionists from the
state, what the Mormons would do in the
matter of voting, the United States
supreme court having upheld the law.
His reply, acquiesced in by all present, ex-
pressed the prevailing sentiment among
the Saints in our norther nneighbor. Said
he, 1--WE can do nothing and will try to do
nothing. We can only wait until sense
of justice induces the people to abolish the
law.n
1t will be idle for DUBOIS and the Repub-
licans to try to drag the Mormon question
into the coming contest. The battle must
be fought on legitimate lines between
Democrats and Republicans. and the party
that has the most votes will win.

A BAD PROPHET,

How much confidence may be placed in
the senseless charge of the Liberal organ
that the workingmen's ticket was frs,
made up lat the tithing Office, may be ascer-
tanned from its pretended knowledge a
week ago of the makeup of the PEOPLES
ticket. 1t had HEBER NJ. WELLS for re-
corder, ELIAS SMITH for treasurer, A. J.
BURT for sheriff, JOHN G. CUTLER for
county clerk, j. w. Fox for surveyor.
FRANCIS ARMSTRONG for assessor, and
RICHARD w. YOUNG for attorney. 1t hap
pened to hit one name out of seven, and
that name has been nearly every mans
choice for some time past. One other
statement the organ made at this time is
rather good: "Of course the convention
will be modelled as much as possible after
the late Liberal county convention, -
Think of the sagacity of that prognostica-
Uion.
Let any man who attended the two con-
ventions recall how the Peoples convention
was modelled after that of the Liberals.
This pretended fore knowledge of the Trtb
is perfect illustration of the weakness
underlying the bold deception it is now trv-
ing to practice upon its readers to induce
them to refrain from voting the Working
mems ticket, and to elect to office three late
registrars. Jeers, threats and promises al
ternate with one another in the organs
treatmentof the workingmen. 1t appears
to be losing its head, and no wonder; for
the people of this city are awakening to a
realization of the fact that it doesn't paw to
have bad government even under the name
of Liberalism.

DESPERATE BOSSES.

Whatever the count of the ballots next
Monday evening may disclose, it will re-
move strain that is terrible from the
minds OF the Liberal leaders. Last winter
these same leaders were anxious; now they
are eager. Last w inter- they were nervous
today they are desperate. The notice ard
instructions sent out from headquarters to
the captains, strikers and heelers breathe
the alarm which has seized the bosses and
tell of the feeling of destruction which is
prevalent in the hearts of those who
handle the lash. 1t is known that there is
disaffection, but it is not known how wide
spread that disaffecton is. 1t is known
that the whip which has been used in the
past with so much success in keeping men
IN line is failing in its force, but to what
extent the lash has lost its terrors can
not be told. The leaders are moving
In the dark and are necessarily striking
out ollndly. Ii 1t were only the People
party they had to take into account and
contend with, they would be happy and
serene, for then they would know Just how
much fraud to perpetrate, just how many
men to arbitrarily rob of the suffrage. and
just whom to rob; but the coming to the
front OF the workingmen as an indepen-
deut political organization has created the
alarm and brought the uncertain and I'M
fashionable element into the contest The
Worklngmen are numerous. If they work
together and vote for their ticket, they will
win beyond peradventure. The Liberal
bosses are aware of this fact, but what
troubles the bosses is the lack!of knowl-
edge as to whether or not the toilers are
going to stand by each other in this battle
for principle and equitable representation
in the public administration
THE HERALD has come into possession OF
some literature sent out from the Liberal
headquarters which tells of deeper de-
gree of political desperation than ever be-
fore was confessed by party bosses. 1t is
more encouraging to the workingmen and
the People than anything the latter parties
could issue in their own behalf 1t bodies
of Liberal defeat; in fact, it is a confession
OF defeat unless the workingmen can be
whipped or coaXed back into the ranks.

IT SEEMS that the members of the Utah
commission are cynical humorists. They
declare "that every lawfully registered
voter shall have the privilege of depositing
his ballot freely, as he wishes, and without
intimidation, and that none who are not
legally registered shall be permitted toivotc,
no matter what may be the circumstances. -
The pretense of trying to secure a fair cleo
ton after there has been crooked regis
tratlon is very much like the proverbial
locking of the stable after the horse has
been Glen. And the irony of prating
against fraud while adding that none who
are not registered shall vote ''no matter
what may be the circumstances" is keen
and pleasant. We all have a cold right to
smile at this bit of cynical humor. But
here is the climax:
The commission takes great pleasure in bear
ing witness to the fairness of all elections here
tofore held under its authority and manage
ment. and with great confidence looks to the
same result in the approaching election
After that the deluge With every regis
trar Liberal, with every registrar abso
Lutte in authority, and with several regis
trars on the Liberal ticket, the commission
looks with great confidence for fairness in
the approaching election Next.

TREASON.

reimbursement for opinion that the consti
tuition has expressly defined treason. Sec
ton 3 Of that instrument says:
Treason against the United States shall con.

herring TO their enemies, giving them aid and
comfort. Noperson shall be convicted of Treason,
unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the
same overt act in open court.
So says the constitution, But the organ
OF the political ring in Titan says the peo-
pie are reasonable, disloyal, ETC., because
they are suspected Of believing in an I'M
popular doctrine. 1t is of no avail TO re,
mind these loyal fellows, who are forever
prying into someone else's devotion
to the government, that it is none
of their business what spec-
uiativc doctrines man may believe in. and
that the state can take cognizance of. overt
acts alone. 1t is useless to remind Them
that they are mistaken in the wish they
cherish that all their political opponents
believe in this unorthodox doctrine. Thov

them so much as to have it proved that
there are opponents of theirs who do not

sires it to be. The old fanatic hates to

Another Busy Session-Mr. Baskin Heard
From.

From.
The county board of equalization held
another busy session yesterday, and trans
acted considerable business, but it was not
of special nature.
r. N. Baskin presented the following
protest:
I'm regard to the promissory notes of
Bast and Mainland, amounting in the ag-
gregate to S32, 000, secured by mortgage re-
corGed in Davis county, to which my atten-
ton was recently called by notice from the
county assessor, requesting me to show
cause why said notes should not be as
sessed to me in this county, l have to state
that the Bast notes were given in March
last, and the one by Mainland was given in
May or June last. The notes were given
In consideration of the sale of real property
which embraced the $50 acres of section 10,
| assessed to me, as appears In the annexed
notice of the collector. Whether the bal
ance Of the said real property which is sit
uated IN Davis county has been assessed to
me, L am not advised. AS these notes
were not in existence on the 1St day of
January last, l submit that under the law
they are not assess able. | further state
that am entitled under the law to de-
duction of at least sl2, 909.U Indebtedness
at wells, Fargo & Co, which has arisen on
the security OF said notes. which now are
and have ever since their date been held by
said county as such security. My indeb-
tedness to said company previous to this
date has been much greater than Sl2, 500 ~
hereunto append statement of the bank
OF the amount of my Indebtedness at the
present date.'
j. U. Brooks represented that in 1889 his
assessment on nine lots in plat A was
