QUERIES.


Is it true that certain gamblers and sa-
loon=keepers were invited, by contiden-
tial letter, to meet at Liberal headquarters
the other evening?
Is it true that they were there informed
that the money for campaign expenses was
coming in slowlys
Is it true that they were told, in sub
stance, that the attemptsto close the saloons
on Sundays and to suppress gambling was
not earnest, being merely bluff for out
side effect!
Is it true that it was pointed out that no
effort had been made lately to check
whisky selling on Sunday, and the doors of
saloons were swung in the face of uni
formed policemen.
Is it true that the gamblers were
reminded that they mad not been
houses being as safe and free from police
surveillance as the offices and residences of
citizenss
Is it true that these men were given to
understand that their help was needed in
the coming campaign, and that if the
Liberals carried the county the gamblers
and whisky sellers could have what they
wanted and do as they desired?
The HERALD does not charge these
things; it merely asks questions. If these
questions We're answered in the affirmative
would it not explain why. the Sunday
saloon is as public as the Mondays Would
it not tell why gambling is practiced almost
as publicly as target-shooting and soda
water selling! Would it not be confirma-
tive of what was predicted during the late
municipal campaign, that Liberal victory
would be followed by making this the
reverse of Christian city! Would it not
be confession that the Liberal party is
hand and glove with the lawless and i'm
moral elements and that those elements are
essential to Liberal welfare:

LEPROSY CURE.

1t now comes from Calcutta that num-
Der of lepers have been cured by Count
MATTEI's system" Just what that system
is is not stated, but if the count has de-
vised or discovered any plan by which the
awful and hitherto incurable disease can
be cured. he will be a greater than
JENNER or PAsTEUR, or than any before or
since the Savior himself
And this reminds usI that nearly a
century has passed since vaccination was
promulgated as a preventive of smallpox.
and yet today there are about as many in
telligeut people who deny its efficacy as
there are those who believe in it. If it
were really preventive would this
be the case! If it were estab-
lished beyond the probability of
doubt that vaccination prevented the
contraction of smallpox, would not the
loathsome disease disappear from among
civilized and educated peopless We think
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-06-01

so, for no man of sense would run the risk
of the awful infection if he had any faith
in the easily applied preventive. Small
pox keeps on plaguing the children of men
and the advocates and the enemies of vac
cination keep on presenting convincing
arguments and unanswerabe demonstra-
tions that vaccination is one of the greatest
discoveries ever made and one of the
veriest humbugs.
And SO it is with regard to PAsTEUR's
cure for hydrophobia. The discoverer pre-
sents statistics of alleged cures to sustain
his claims, and is slowly gaining in public
confidence, but for one who believes in him
there are ten who regard PAsTEUR as the
veriest quack.
Count MATTEL has but to effect one cure
of leper to put JENNER and PAsTEUR into
the shade, for in that case it would be easy
enough to make the demonstration, while
it is impossible to tell just what effect vac
cination has, as under similar conditions
those innoculated with COW virus and those
who do not try the preventive are afflicted
with smallpox, die or recover; and hydro
phobia so rarely results from animal bite
that no one will ever be able to say posi-
lively that PAsTEUR's remedy is effective.

the road. 1t would have been better to do
as was proposed some time ago. namely:
tear ~ the track south of Nephi
and abandon the south western field.
That would have been good railroad
sense at the time, while it wasn't and
isn't railway sense to build to Phoebe, and
stop. To do that would be worse than
idiotic, and whatever else may be said of
the owners and managers of railways it
never occurs to anybody to speak of them
as fools. Their aim is to make money, and
if they do not succeed it is because the
way is not open.
Regardless of what Mr.. DILLON says
THE HERALD is going to keep on believing
that the Union Pacific will keep on hDild-
ing westward until its line reaches tide
water. We are going to believe this, be-
cause it would be folly for the company to
stop anywhere this side Of the Pacific, and
would be wise to go on until the ocean has
been reached and a portion of the immense
traffic of California secured.

THE CITY WATER.

In another part of this issue will be found
a communication from Professor PAUL, a
resident of the eastern part of the city, in
regard to the proposition of the new water
company to buy the water owned by the
people. We think with our correspondent
that it is abundantly clear that the city
does not own the water Of Emigration
canon; but we go further and assert that
the city does not own the water of City
creek, nor the water of Utah lake. The
water of City creek is owned by the own
ers of certain. land within the city, and it
is chiefly the water right that makes ara
BILE land valuable in this region. If the
city can sell the water to this or that per-
son or company, it can render valueless
any land it pleases, and can increase the
value of other land to thousand times
it's present worth, siraply by selling
the water right of the first to the owners
of the second property. Not only so, but
it could sell water to one person and refuse
to sell to another, thus enriching one and
running the other. Without disturbing the
present arrangement. the city could, if it
owned the water, permit only certain par
ties to use the water and charge such a
sum for the same as it saw fit. Indeed, the
city could then refuse to sell at all to any
one, for neither an individual nor a corpo-
ration is compelled by any law to sell what
either owns. The city does not now sell
nor did it ever sell water to the people.
1t has never pretended to sell water to
them The city merely controls the water
4 ! Il
trolls cattle or people who are on the street,
or just as it controls the street. But the
city doesn't own the cattle, nor the people,
nor, except in a certain sense, even the
streets. No one has yet been found to say
that the city can sell the streets or portions
of them. Yet the control the city has over
the streets is quite as direct as its control
over the water; more so, indeed, for the
city has certain right to the streets,
which were never owned by the people,
But the water was originally taken up or
purchased by the people. and it is sheer
folly to suppose that a few years after such
requirement Of property, itreverts to the
city in some mysterious and unaccountable
fashion.
But quite apart from the injustice of
selling the water is the fact that such a
transaction is very likely to forever make
the price of water service as high as it now
is. This would be serious misfortune.
The people of San Francisco are forever
complaining of the company that supplies
that city with water; we wish for nothing
of that sort here There is vast and
sweeping danger in the control by any cor
poration of the water of city circum-
stanced as ours is. Water is gold in this
country; it is more than gold, it is life
itself. The very mention of private cor
poration control of the waters of this
region has danger in it. Let no such thing
be thought of.

PROVIDE LAROR.

THE HERALD is informed that the labor
market continues to show the supply is
considerably in excess of the demand
This is said to be true as to all the trades
and as regards common labor The con-
tractors and Ell, ters are daily applied to
by those seeking work, and are compelled
to turn the applicants away In little
while, within two weeks probably, brick
laying will be under way when few score
more masons, car penters, painters and
plumbers will be taken on, but unless the
labor organizations and the contractors are
in error in their estimates there is here
today all the skilled and common labor
that will be required this season.
This statement is not made for the pur-
pose Of discouraging anybody who
is preparing to come to Salt Lake, but with
the view to calling attention to the neces-
sitv that exists for providing employment
for wage workers. 1t is the working peo-
pie who make prosperity. All the money
in the national treasury vaults would not
make Salt Lake more prosperous if it were
kept here under lock and key. The VAN
DERBILTs and ASToRs and GoULDs might all
be residents of this city, and if they spent
no more money than was required to pay
for their food and clothes, the place would
be little better off for their presence. We
need hundreds and thousands of men at
work earning and receiving daily wages
and spending their money for the neces-
sites and pleasures and luxuries of life.
Then we will grow in population and
wealth.
The property -owners and the chamber of
commerce should consider the matter, and
while doing SO much to induce people to
come to Salt Lake should do something to
to create employment for the willing
hands. Unless something shall be pro
vided for men to do who earn their bread
by the sweat of their faces, how much
more can the city grow? We need not ex-
rect a community OF millionaires who get
their living by cashlng dividend checks
and shearing coupons from government
bonds.

WALLA WALLA, July 25.-Dr. E. H
Pugsley this morning, while on the way
to his office, suddenly reeled and
dropped to the pavement. Pedestrians
passing at the time rushed to his assist
ance, and he whispered, "Take me
home," and the best efforts of the two
doctors who were on hand in a moment
failed to revive him. In half an hour he
was dead. Physicians state that death
resulted from heart exhaustion, the i'm
mediate cause being coagulation of blood
inside the heart and also in the blood
vessels as a result of varomotor paraly-
SIS. Upon opening the blood vessels in
the arm, to give possible relief, the blood
was found to be of dark color and in
a partially clotted state. DR.. Pugsley
was aged about Sc years, and came to
Walla Walla from Pendleton to practice
his profession. During the June cam
paign in Umatilla county, Or, he was a
candidate for coroner and was defeated
by only few votes.

Conspiracies 10 Pad Census.

WASHINGTON Cry, July 26-The
secretary Of the interior to-day ordered
recount of the population Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis.
Prior to issuing his order the secre-
sary has received from Superintendent
OF Census Porter letter detailing the
trouble in regard to the count of the
twin cities and the investigation made
by the bureau. He says in part: 1.-THE
evidence may be summarized as follows:
In all probability there existed in Mimi
eapolis widespread organized conspi-
racy for initiating the census of the CITY.
This conspiracy was only partially
carried out, owing to its early discovery.
To what extent the schedules are fraud
ulent can be at present only matter Of
conjecture. The schedule of families
has been swollen to enormous size by
the addition Of children and boarders,
the capacity of existing houses has been
taxed beyond their limits by the ad-
dition of families and houses with con-
tents which have been invented by the
enumeration. In addition to these pail
pable frauds, transients have been emu
merated at hotels and boarding houses,
and employees have been enumerated at
shops as well as at their houses in large
numbers.
"In st. Paul no fraudulent conspir-
acy has been found, but numbers of
cases of illegal additions to schedules
have been found there. The additions
are similar to those discovered in Mime
apolis, but not by any means as wide
spread or extensive.
SIN view of this condition, it seems
impossible to be assured of the censuses
of these two cities without making a re-
count throughout"
Superintendent Porter says no proof
has been presented that the superinten-
dent in st. Paul or Minneapolis was a
party to the fraud. james Wardle,
assistant chief clerk of the census bu-
reau, will have charge of the work at st.
Paul, and T. W Kruse, special ageet, at
MINNEAPOLIS.

some races IN which he was prepared to
trot his horses against all corners. This
announcement was heralded far and wide,
and the races, which were scheduled for
to-day, attracted crowds from all over
the state. The parson, by the way, had
announced that no betting would be per-
mitted on the events. The weather to-
day was beautiful and everything at the
racetrack was as quiet and orderly as a
church picnic. All theevents were half
mile, best two in three.
The first was three minute race, each
owner driving his own horse. The con-
testants started well together, but Par
son Amy's Amy quickly showed the
religious training she had enjoyed, and
forged ahead famously, coming under
the wire in 1:203. Parson Amy was
greeted with hearty applause, and his
little nag was showered with bouquets
and good words.
In the second heat Amy again came
Off more than conquerer, making the
half mile in 1 81. Shout after shout
followed this and the good parson raised
his hands as though deprecating noise
or about to dismiss a congregation.
However, he thought better of it and
the second race was called 1t was a
contest between 3-year-olds and was par
ticipated in by Amy's Boggee and two
other entries. Again the parsons ex-
cenent work showed itself, Boggee tax
ing the heat in 40, second heat, and
the race was won easily by Boggie in
1 IA.
Parson, AmY's colt, won the third race,
it being walk-awav.
After the races were concluded ath-
letic and field sports were participated
in and general good time was had.
In an interview the parson said he had
been active in getting the races up be-
cause no one else did, and he enjoyed
racing and was sorry it had been SO
much abused.

A GhastIy Discovery,

WALLA WALLA, July 26.-This morn
ing L. j. Swanson, from the Frenchtown
neighborhood. came to the city and re-
ported that early this afternoon an old
disused house, eleven miles from this
city, had burned to the ground. Swan
son saw the flames from his place, a halt
mile distant, and ran to the house. BY
that time the house was in glowing en-
bers. He saw in one corner dead body
badly burned. The flames were too hot
to approach closely. Swanson went to
the residence of John Lane, a short dis
tance away, to get assistance, but found
no one home, though he knew Mrs.
Lane had boon home an hour before.
He then noticed the tracks of woman's
shoes leading to the burnt house. No
returning tracks were visible. Swanson
hurried to town to notify the officers, as
he believed Mrs. Lane was the victim of
the fire. The coroner and assistants
have gone to the scene to hold an in
quest Immediately.
