Democratic consis.e ICY, generally, and
Barnes Compton's especially, is shown
BY the earnest efforts recently made by
himself and supporters against the ex-
tension of Judge Stones term, because
the .Judgs was Republican, while, at
the same, he aud they. are asking the
votes of Republicans in Congress to re-
tain him 10 seat which sworn evidence
of his own party friends clearly prove
he is not entitled. Democratic politi-
clans are a queer lot, they want all, and
the history of their party in this State
has concusively proven that they have
in numbcrless instances taken what they
wanteI.

MEXICO THREATENS to play even with the
United States for increasing the duties on
the articles which she exports by raising
the tariff on American manufactures A
Mr.. KINGsLAND, who has recently returned
from the southern repu bic, tells the Farm
Implement NelrS that 'Mexicois rapidly pre-
pairing to establish metallurgical and other
industries of her own and to extend her
trade relations with Europe. l rode in the
train from Chihuahua to Laredo with
Senior ARROYO DE ANDA. president of the
Mexican congress-whom | have known
for many years-and he told me in
his perfectly polite but straightfor-
ward way, that we Americans, without
meaning to do so, were forcing Mexico into
a position of industrial Independence Our
duties on Mexican lead ores would simply
result in the development of industries for
their treatment on the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande, the bullion would go to Eng
land, and the exchange would be made in
that country. He himself, had just let the
contract for an $50, 900 smelling plant, to be
erected in Monterey" AS Mexico takes
about ten dollars worth of our manufac
lures for every dollars worth of her pro-
ducts that we buy, the robber tariff bill
will be immensely proftable-to Great

THE GRADES AGAIN.

The city council, it seems, stands in with
the city engineer in playing havoc with the
streets and sidewalks in order to make
them conform to the surveyors ideas Of
convenience or beauty. Mr.. BAsKIN's pro-
test against the cutting down in front OF
his residence has been rejected, and of
course other protests equally reasonable
and timely would be similarly treated. 1t
isevident, therefore, that if relief or pro-
lection shall be obtained it must come from
the courts through suits for damages to
property. It seems to us that this is
matter in which the courts can be
properly applied to in behalf of private
citizens and the public, for not
only will individuals be put to
unnecessary and extraordinary expense.
but the public funds will be recklessly
squandered. 1t will cost fully $4,000 to
bring the grade of South Temple street to
conform to that established for the side
walk, and we doubt if the sum named will
meet the cost. Then dozen or more cross
streets will have to be brought to the new
grade, at tremendous cost and to the great
injury of the abutting lots, and when the
work shall be completed the eye of the en-
gineer may be satisfied but the public will
fail to note the greater beauty or the bet
ter convenience. At the rate the engineer
is proceeding ten times the corporation
revenues would be insufficient for the
streets
We maintain that the street grades
should be made to conform somewhat
to the natural position of the country,
where this can be done without inconven-
fence to traffic. 1t isn't essential to beauty
or comfort that our streets should be
brought to uniform and unvarying grades,
from one end to the other. The people do
not demand this, the treasury is not in
condition to undertake it, uor would such
streets be materially better than those
which were laid out as if the engineer had
taken into account the fact that gentle
rises and depressions in roads are not alto
gether ugly things in residence districts of
city
We heartily hope some of sufferers from
this ruthless bringing of things to level
will go into the courts for redress.
Property owners should know just what
their rights are, and how far an engineer
can go in the matter of undoing what has
been done by his predecessors. 1t should
also be learned if another engineer who
may take fancy to other grades than those
which please the eye of the present city
surveyor can elevate or lower the streets
and sidewalks to conform to his ideas of
uniformity. If each succeeding engineer
has the power to bring the grades to~h his
standard it might be well to build our
streets and sidewalks on System of jack
screws, when they could be lowered or
raised to suit different municipal admins
trations.

EDMUNDS TO THEIR RELIEF.

Senator EDMUNDs is at it again. When
ever anything is to be done concerning the
Morlnons the old man proposes to do it, or
at least direct what it shall be. The su-
preme court decided that the government
had the right to plumber and despoll the
Mormon church, but before issuing the
mandate directing the confscation the con-
sciences of the judges were smitten, the
decree was withheld and the theft stayed
for a time until some way for disposing OF
the plumber could he devised. 1t would
look badly to cover the money into the fed
eral treasury, and it would have no better
appearance to destroy the property.
1t was a puzzling predicament for
the court, but EpMUNDs flies
TO the relief the justices, introducing bill
which directs that when the robbery shall
be complete and the Mormon church shall
be despoiled of its possessions, the pro
ceeds of tie highwayman proceeding shall
be turned over TO the secretary Of the
interior, who shall apply the money to the
public schools OF this territory. This viii
satisfy the consciences of the supreme
court Judges. and as EDMUNDs was never
troubled with anything resembling con-
science he will not suffer on account of his
share in the escheat business.
Meantime it will not be out of place to
suggest that very little of the stolen
money will ever reach the school
fund. A good many thousands have
already been disposed of for
court and official fees and expenses, and
much Of the remainder will naturally and
necessarily be sidetracked and ambrshed
before the final reckoning which cannot
possibly be brought about inside of couple
of years. AS it is all plumber anyway
Congress having authorized it, and the su
preme court given its hearty sanction
everybody who can do 50 will think thai
he IS justified in taking slice, and the re
suit will be mighty small fund that will
go for the education of the children of the
men who have been fighting Mormons and
who are directly responsible for this
odious, infamous robbery which will for.
ever stand a disgrace to the Congress
which passed the plundering act and the
supreme court which sanctioned it.
