THE LULL.

There has come little lull in the real
estate market Sales are not so numerous
as during February and the early part of
March, and fewer big transactions are re-
corded. Some people are interpreting the
falling off as indicating collapse" which
certain persons have been predicting.
They are saying that the beginning of the
end is showing itself, and that there will
be no revival
If there were nothing back of the activity
which has been witnessed here during the
past few months, if the spirit of specula-
ton had alone controlled in the buying and
selling, THE HERALD might take some stock
in the evil predictions of the .disgruntled,
and believe that the so called boom was in
decline; but there was something be-
sides speculation in what has
been going on. The buyers have
not all been purchasing wholly
with the view to selling at an advance. All
these strangers that we see on the streets
are not here for the purpose of dealing in
real estate. A few may have been attracted
by the prospect of boom, and come with
the hope of cleaning up a few thousands and
retiring; many, however, are here to stay;
they are buying to hold; they are building
or preparing to build homes; they are going
into business, having in full faith cast
their lot with US and made Salt Lake their
abiding place. The older citizens in point
of residence, are proving their faith and
showing their confidence in the city by in
vesting in stone brick and mortar as never
before, and are paying prices for city lots
and acreage which tell better than words
that boom or no boom Salt Lake must con-
tinue to be a rich and prosperous and pro-
gressive city.
1t may also be said that while the trans
actions are not so numerous as few weeks
ago, prices continue firm, property being
valued by the holders at all they ask for it.
There is no marked eagerness to sell,
real suggestion of a collapse, for it cannot
be denied that prices are high.
The croakers may possess their souls in
peace, for there will be no falling out of the
bottom, no going to pieces of the boom. II
| is not in the nature of things that there
should be collapse. The great majority
| of the population is permanent; the
people are here to stay; this is
their home, and to the growth and
prosperity of the city are they devoted. II
the boomers and floating population were
to pick up their traps and go elsewhere, il
would not in the least degree affect the
welfare of the city, nor check the progress
nor would their departure be followed by
material decline in prices except as tt
some outside tracts which have no influ-
ence on the value of city real estate.
In our opinion the present lull will be Of
short duration, and it means nothing.

DUBOIS LOGIC.

If you don't believe in whipping at the
post for wife-beating, you are in sympathy
with the wife beater; if you favored the
amnesty of rebels, you were rebel sympa-
thizer; il you denounce bills of attainder as
punishment for treason, you are an aces
sorry TO the crime; if you regard capital
punishment as an excessive punishment for
highway robbery, you sustain and uphold
the highwayman; if you insist that every
man charged with crime shall have fair
ind impartialtrial and shall not be punished
unless proven guilty under the rules of
evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, then
you are the friend of the criminal and
the supporter of crime; if you do not
regard disfranchisement as the proper
treatment of man whose only
CRIME is membership in the Mormon
church, then you are a polygamist by in
stinct and opposed to the enforcement of
the laws made to suppress polygamy. Such
is the logic of DUBOIS and his CLIQUE of DO
itical conspirators.
Other members of Congress whose alb
horrence of plural marriage is quite as
strong as that Of DUBOIS and whose respect
for the fundamental principles of freedom
and jealous regard for human rights are
much stronger than his, believe that
the unrepublican, unusual and excess
sive punishment of Acknowledgement for
crimes never committed should not become
feature of the constitution OF an Ameri-
can commonwealth, To punish for polyg-
amy, for unlawful cohabitation, for aiding
md aharfipg in tho 1icC &c
offenses, and perhaps, even, to visit upon
those convicted of such offenses the addi-
tional punishment of acknowledgements, in
the judgment of patriotic and non fanatical
citizens, is to follow the safe precedents of
free government; but to go farther and
punish the man who has never married
polygamously, who may not believe in it,
who has made up his mind to obey the
laws of the country so long as he is sub
iect to its jurisdiction, who has never
aided or abetted in the commission
Of the offense, nor advised or en-
couraged its commission. is to overleap
the requirement of the situation and to es
tablish dangerous precedent.
The moral makeup, the unpatriotic.
despotic disposition of a man who, like
DUBOIS, can father a scheme to deprive a
large class of fellow citizens, of every
right dear to free men, deserves the con
demnation of every wise and good man
the Indifference TO such outrageous wrongs
manifested by honorable citizens of Idaho
Ind of this territory, who are fully &C
quainted with the character of the people
sought to be disfranchised, is unworthy
their manhood.
1t is time when every man to whom
Justice is more dear than political success.
In whose breast the love of humanity is
more strong than the love of power, in
whose mind reason is more potent than
sophistry, should denoupce the efforts of
the Idaho-DUBoIs crowd and of some local
politicians, to do worthy class of citizens
great wrong.

VICTORIA, THE good queen, is said to be
thinking of Indicating in ia vor of ALBERT
EDWARD, the heir apparent VICTORIA has
been upon the throne more than half cen
tury, and her reign has been most enlight-
ened, progressive and successful. She is
now IL years of age, is broken in health,
and In the nature of things cannot hope to
live more than three or four years, while
her death is looked for at any time. 1t
would, therefore, seem wise for her to re-
tire while it is possible to place her son
firmly upon the throne, for there is great
liability that if she goes hence before sur
rendering the crown there will be an end
to monarchy in Great Britain. The popu-
lar love for the Queen is so great that the
people would be loath to do anything that
would offend her. So long as she wants to
reign the people will not object, and it is
believed that they would respect her
wishes if she were to retire in favor of the
Prince of Wales, thus putting off the abol-
ltion of the monarchy at least one genera
ton. And there is not near the danger in

musical talent which is conceded to be far
in advance of anything to be found in
other cities of equal population.
1t is well known that Denver
and Omaha, in comparison with Salt Lake
city, make dismal failures in attempting
to place upon the boards first-class opera.
AT the time of the concert for the Johns
town sufferers. and at the concert given
by the renowned GILMORE in our taberna-
Gle, the chorus under the leadership of Mr..
EVAN STEPHENS, would have beena credit
to city five times as large as ours. There
has been nothing more gratifying to THE
HERALD than the permanent organization
OF this chorus; and the enjoyment which
the public will undoubtedly have during
the musical festival, which we understand
is to be held sometime during the month of
May, is already being looked forward to
with keen interest.
No other city in the union can boast of
an auditorium the equal of the Salt Lake
Tabernacle IN acoustic We have the
largest and grandest organ to be found.
Our chorus, as stated, considering the size
Of the city, is beyond compare. Well
does the writer remember the visit of the
celebrated ALBINI to the tabernacle, and
her exclamation of delight in listening to
the fine playing of Mr.. RADCLIFFE and Mr..
WEIHE; also the singing of Mr.. EAsToN.
She was not only charmed but wonder
fully surprised to find such an auditorium
in the far west, and such masters of their
| respective instruments as Messrs RAD
CLIFFE and WEIHE
Our Home Dramatic club is the pride of
our citizens. We have recently spoken of
the artistic and poetical talent of the city
and expressed regrets that it was not fully
appreciated. 1t is gratifying to know that
the Home Dramatic club and STEPHENS
opera company have always met with the
hearty support of the public; and we are
confident that Mr.. STEPHENS efforts at the
coming musical festival in May will be
substantially rewarded by our citizens, and
that in addition all will feel grateful to him
for scoring one more triumph in favor of
| this city.
With our beautiful valley, surrounded
by it's magnificent mountains, and our salt
lake which is unequaled in America, and the
artistic, operate and dramatic talent of
our citizens, we have a combination of ele-
ments and gifts which go to make this a
delightful place in which to dwell.
| There is one thing which speaks vol
umes for Salt Lake city, and that is, that

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Kansas, is fortu-
nate in its board of assessors. Just
at this time it is unfortunate that Salt
Lake county court has not the power
which the Kansas board possesses. The
latter has been fixing the basis of assess
ment OF real and personal property for the
guidance of the assessor. The rate for
horses, mules, COWS and personal property
is placed at one-third its valne; corn to
the amount of 1000 bushels in the hands of
the farmer is exempt from taxation, and
all over that amount must be listed at 8
cents bushel; wheat, 20 cents bushel
real estate, one fifth it's cash value.

Another reason is that eight people out of

The only way to regulate gambling is by
licensing it. BY this means the municipal
treasury is enriched, taxes are reduced.

PROUD, OF COURSE.

1t has often been said that the people of
Salt Lake take peculiar pride in their in

be proud of, and if the community were

S100 FOR A GUESS.

Some assert that the present population
OF Salt Lake city numbers fully sixty
thousand, and they base their declaration
on pretended knowledge of the people
now here. There are others who insist
that there are not more than thirty five
thousand people who can claim the city as
their home or abiding place. THE HERALD
regards both these estimates as extreme.
and II 1t were going to guess would fix upon
number about midway between the two
stated. The population in 1850 was 20, 76S,
ana II the growth had been normal and
steady, that figure would have furnished a
guide for a present estimate; but the in
crease has been neither normal nor steady
1t was regular up to three years ago. since
which it has been very irregular, but all the
time great The past year has been re-
markable for the increase, so much so that
the new faces on the street are so numer-
Gus and the old ones so infrequent,
that one almost feels that it is a
new community. There is, therefore, no
rule or basis, beyond a general observation.
which viii aid one to arrive at probably
correct estimate of the population. All is
problematical, and when one says there are
so many people here he simply guesses at
the number. The HERALD proposes to
make this guessing interesting, and to set
all the people at it. Just how this is to be
done is detailed in another place of this
mornings issue. One person, atleast, will
find that to be good guesser is valuable
requirement, for he or she will receive
500 for naming the number nearest to the
population of Salt Lake city as shown by
the census to be taken in June. There will
be nearly two months in which to guess,
and 1t will be strange if somebody does not
hit upon the exact figure ascertained by
the enumeratcrs.

We clip the following from the De-
TRoIT TRIBUNE: Columbia, s. c.,
Dec. 80. The coroner's inquest into
the death of the eight colored men
who were lynched at Barnweli, Sat-
urday morning, was held on the scene
of the tragedy. The bodies. tied to
young oak trees, presented terrible
sight. Some of them had as many as
ten bullet holes. The jurys verdict
was that the victims came to their
death at the hands of persons IN
known. The physicians in order to
examine the bodies, were obliged to
cnt them from the trees. After the
coroncr's inquest the negroes were
notified that they might remove the
bodies il they desired. The families
Of Ripley Johnson and Mitchell Adams
removed their bodies to their homes,
but the other six remained up to mid
night, Treated as murderers and out
casts there were none to mourn them.
Neither the whites nor the negroes
wanted to remove the bodies. A pro-
minent negro said: 1--WE never put
them there. Let those remove them
who are responsible for their being
there" Said the mayor Of Barnwell
1.-THE bodies are outside the lislits OF
the town, and they were prisoners of
the county. We don't care to place
ourselves in the light of assuming re-
sponsibility in the matter. Acting
with the sheriff we have employed a
man TO make the collins for the bodies.
and it will be done as soon as pos
sible." A leading colored citizen said,
there was no inclination among the
colorcd people of Barnwell to take
revenche for the outrage, but that n
meeting had been called for the pur-
pose of taking steps to move from the
county in body.

Our more or less esteemed contempt
rary around the corner, in his issue of

to the benefits of protection. He ad-
mits that during the past year more
workmen were employed in Cheboygan

to be drawn from this admission is that
in the opinion of that great head, the
less work that is done the better times
we have. He admits that more men
were employed the past year under
the republican administration Of Har-
rison, which faYcrs protective tariff,
