Our neighbor is very much given tc
cxagseration in discussing the subject
Of the tariff, and the above is not the
.east instance Of the kind. Granting
that the proposed tariff on tin would,
until the industry is established here,
increase the price OF the product, though
We do not acknowledgment itwould, will
the Register kindly point out the rule in
mathematics by which it figures that q
tariff Of two and %eight-tenths cents per
pound will force the American kitchen
and tin roof to pay three or four prices
for its tin? This assertion OF the Register
Ia in keeping with the general reckless.
ness OF most OF its statements regarding
the tariff.
Our neighbor intimates that our quo.
tation from the London Iron and Steel
Trades Journtl, to the effect that if the
American Congress passed the Mckin.
ley bill the British tin plate manufac-

We call III contemporaries attention
to the comments on the Mckinley bill

Their timidify and suspicious, 1t is fair to say,
are not always the result of superstition. In
some cases superstition and ignorance form the
groundwork of their objections, but their chief
fears are that we are agents of the government
In one small village the people were so con-
WINGED that we were government spies secretly
assessing their property, that delegation OF
elders waited on as and naively offered to pay
us for undertaking their belongings. Thus far
taxes are levied at SO many roubles per male
head Of the population. TIE peasants, how
ever, are always in dread ofsome new scheme OF
squeezing more money out of their pockets.
The traveller finds among these people the same
dread of government officials as in Turkey,
Persia, China, and other countries where the
officials are VIGOROUSLY corrupt, though not in
the same degree. The evidence OF bad govern
ment, which finds expression in the servile
prostitution of the peasantry before the minions
of the governing power, is seen to the best adj
vantage in the Armenian villages of Asatic
Turkey. The arrival of a Turkish officer in the
village creates as much CONSERVATION among
the people as If they were rats in pitand the
man in uniform the terrier, who is heavily
backed TO kill them all in q certain length of
time. Nine-tenths of them are invisible from
the time OF his arrival to his departure; the
other tenth hover about, watchful and alert, to
anticipate his every wish. The state of affairs
in Russia is a decided improvement on this; but
when the worst fears OF the peasant take the
form Of suspicion that the stranger who comes
among them is an officer OF the government
something evidently is wrong.

They do not make as good editors as men,

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 24-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. -Governor Thomas re-
turned from New York this morning. He is
polllng over with wrath at Delegate Game for
using his name in his argument before the
house committee on territories yesterday,
wherein he said that Governor Thomas had en-
phatlcally stated to him that he Thomas. was
taking no part either for or against the Baskiu
nls1ranchise bill. He charges Delegate Game
with breach of courtesy in making use of n
private conversation. Delegate Game when
asked about the matter, spurned the charge of
preach OF courtesy. He says that when
ne inquired of Governor Thomas if
ne was making any effort in behalf of
the Acknowledgement bill. he told the
governor that he did not wish to do him any
injustice; that he had heard certain rumors.
ana he came TO him frankly and made the in
curry, telling Thomas at the same time that he
could please himself whether he answered him
or not. Thomas then stated he was taking no
part IN the matter either for or against the bill.
MI Game says further that between himself
as Delegate and Mr.. Thomas as governor. there
could De nothing Of a private or confidential
character in any conversation concerning bill
pending in Congress which SO vitality affected
the people of Utah. 1t is strongly suspected
mat the governor is wrathy because he has
