WHAT THE VICTORY IN SALT LAKE
MEANS.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
AS the result of this great victory gen.
tile influences will dominate Salt Lake
City for the first time in its history. The
legislation of the general government
and the decisions of the courts will now
be reinforced by this great popular VIC
tory, and the result must be the COM
plete paralysis Of the power of the Nor
mon church as political agency. Its
leaders have made their last fight and
been routed. Stripped of its material
resources. deserted by large numbers of
the rising generation and shorn of Its po-
litical power, it is not likely to again as
sert itself or to make any effort to regain
Its political prestige. The first effect of
the victory will be visible in new i'm
pulses to the growth and prosperity of
the city and territory, which will offer
inducements to immigration and the in
vestment of capital, thus Fastening the
time when gentle influences will domi-
nate the territory. Another important
effect will be to secure obedience to the
laws of the government III Salt Lake
City at least, and thus to weaken the dis
loyal Influences of the church upon its
members. The leaders of the church
have always been disloyal, and have
manifested their defiance of the govern
ment by repeated insults 10 the flag.
They have in the most fragrant and con-
temptuous manner violated every law
passed by congress. Now that these
leaders are shorn of their influence and
the inimical practices OF the church are
in a large measure suppressed the rank
and file, who have of necessity been
placed in hostile attitude to the gov
ernment. Will be more likely to be law
abiding citizens, and may even rejoice in
their enfranchisement and deliverance
from the Mormon yoke.

Who Was It7

Not 80 many years ago distinguished
American, who had held high official
position in his country, was appointed
minister TO Russia. lie had been good
deal OF Christian statesman. No one
would suspect him of any OF the ordina-
ry peccadiiloes of less moral politicians.
He remained as our representative at the
Russian court only few months, and to
the surprise Of his friends returned sud
denly and unannounced TO tins country
and few days afteE his resignation was
rendered TO the state department and ac-
cepted. This IS why he rendered his
resignation:
There was bright. beautiful Aneri-

RAIN TREE AND FLOWING.

A mercantile firm of Richfield. Nor
ton county, advocates the planting of
the rain tree" extensively, which it is
claimed would produce an abundance of
moisture. The firm writes:
The rain tree is found III the drler
parts of South America. The tree grows
10 the height Of sixty feet and Its leaves
have the peculiar property OF condens-
ing the moisture from the atmosphere.
So coplous Is this condensation that a
continual shower falls from the leaves
and branches until the surrounding soil
is converted into q veritable marsh.
Places that would otherwise be a barren
desert are by this means covered by the
most luxurisnt grass forest. Ii is SAID
that the English government is intro
ducing this tree into India 10 counteract
the aridity OF portions of tEat country. =

SOME MORE MEANNEss.

The righteous Indignation of the entire
state over the villainous report sent out
from Wichita, of a riot at Harper, should
not be permitted to blow over and amount
to nothing. The man who has been sys.
tematically working" eastern paDers with
this kind OF abuse of Kansas Should be
induced to get out of the state. He has
carried MS scheme to far for longer en-.
durance. Who Is he?-Topeka Capital.
Yes, who is he? We should like to
know, and agree that he should be in
duced to get out of the state, if he isn't
already out. But the covert attempt of
the esteemed Capital in the paragraph to
stab Wichita in the back is as unfair as
it is unmanly. By implication the Capt.
tai would make Wichita responsible for
the sensational SANDER mentioned, when
it knows as well as it knows anything
that this city knew nothing of the mat
ter-could not possibly have known of
1.-THE dispatch we mean until it was
read N the public prints. and could not
have prevented its being sent, as it was,
if it had been known to every man in this
city. The editor of the Capital knows who
tIc IeDiGSClllGlltc VI asoOOlottSo
Press in Wichita is, and he also knows
that ne is no more responsible for what
is sent out by the central agent who
makes up the dispatches and sends them
out to the association than is he (the
said EDITOR himself.
1t is not very long ago that a sensa-
tional report about conditions of distress
in the western part of the state in con-
nection with terrible blizzard found
its way into the press dispatches under a
Wichita date, just as the one above re-
ferred to. and a leading paper in Kansas
City, after making some inquiry into
the matter became satisfied that the al
legged dispatch had its origin in that city,
and it had the manliness to say so, in
stead of attempting to compromise this
city by charging responsibility for the
falsehood here. We have given this
matter more notice than it merits, Of
itself, but the manner in which it is
used, as above quoted, makes it too SER
ious as to this city to be permitted to
pass unrebuked.

MEET THE ISSUES.
From the Omaha Republican.

From the Omaha Republican.
Our Republican congressman can not
afford to dodge the responsibilities rest
ing upon them in reforming the tariff
laws. The issues must be firmly met, or
the Republican party, IN the agricultural
states, will suffer for the neglect.
Among our experienced western con-
gressmen who are true to the protective
principle, but who also well understand
the demands OF their constituents, there
are fears that the policy of large ex-
penditures and small changes in the
tariff will obtain. We hope not, for
should this policy be pursued by the
party in power 1t would endanger the
stability OF the protective principle. The
people know too well that they have
suffered by the contraction in the cur
rency caused by too much revenue
being collected, they know that
the Democratic party refused TO
make any concessions in order that
the tariff laws might be changed by
the late congress. and now that the Re
publican party has full control, if the
tariff laws are not changed, but great
expenditures applied as the remedy. the
result Will be uncertain, perhaps diSas-
trous,
1t is easy enough to maintain that our
manufacturers should be protected to
an amount equal to the difference in the
price of labor, and the value of money
IN this and other countries. Such
tariff would place all manufacturing
countries on an equality. and the home
manufactures would have the advantage
In the cost Of transportation. Beyond
this tariff becomes prohibitory. and
tends To building up trusts. Now that
cur tariff is producing too much revenue
II Is an excellent opportunity for placing
on the free list many articles that do not
need protection. and by this means the
surplus can be largely reduced. Reform
the tariff.

taken six years ago by President Arthur,
and President Cleveland stepped off in
the same direction and to the same
length about two years ago: but it will
be remembered that the cattle men took
no steps to correspond with the said
administration strides. Nor will they
now. The strip may be opened this year,
within few months, but when it is,
soon or late, the cattle men will still be
there as complacent as if the land We're

before remarked, when shown the way
