THE Gazette, of Alexandria, Va, again
interests itself in the matter of the govern
ment's robbing the Mormons of their prop
erty. 1t says:
The United States supreme court last week
temporarily vacated its mandate TO escheat the
property of the Mormon church to the United
States government. in order that some means
might be found by which that property could
be returned to those whose money had bought
it, with provision that it should not be
used for propagating the Mormon religion
And yet the first amendment that was
made to the constitution of the United
States declares that Congress shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment Of religion or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof In the first free legislature Of
Virginia, 11a6 religion was made free chiefly by
reason of memorial from the Presbytery o.
Hanover, which declared: 'Tliere is no argu
ment in favor of establishing the Christian
religion, but what may not be pleaded fo
establishing the tenets of Mohammed by those
who believe in the Koran" Now the NOLAN
medan, like the Mormon, religion sanctions
polygamy. The decision of the court show.
how easy it has become to override plain pro
vision of the organic law of the land, and tn,
general acquiescence in that decision shows tn,
great change that has taken place in publ,
opinion on the particular subject referred t,
since the establishment of the government.

'sTHERE are in this country 255 Repub-
lican dailies, with circulation of over one
thousand copies each, and 800 Democratic
dailies of that class. Republican dailies
have an aggregate circulation of one mil
lion and half, and Democratic dailies two
millions and half. The Republicans have
$50 weeklies, with circulation of over
II 200 each, and combined circulation of
two millions and half, and the Democrats
1,346 weeklies, with circulation of four
and quarter millions. The magazines
that support the Democratic party have a
circulation of nearly half million, while
those that support the Republican party,
even by indirection, have less than one
hundred thousand
This is what was said by Assistant Post
master General CLARKsoN, in his speech at
Boston the other day, and which has sub
jected him to some criticism. 1t is pretty
certain that the gentleman did not magnify
the correct figures in the interest Of the
| Democracy. His own politics puts that
idea at rest. GARRISON is a newspaper
man, and has undoubtedly taken the
| trouble to ascertain the facts. He might
have gone on and said in addition to hay
ing the most papers and these with the
largest circulation the Democrats have the
best newspapers. And then he could have
continued that the intelligence of the two
parties stands in about the same proper
tions as the papers.

THE TAXES.

While the assessment rolls of the city
and county have not been completed, work
on them has proceeded far enough to let
the property-owners Of Salt Lake know
that their taxes will be at least double
what they were last year, when a good
many found it difficult to settle with the
collectors on time, and not few COM
planned that they were taxed too much.
We cannot understand what legitimate and
praiseworthy uses the city and county will
find for the enormous sums, gagged by
previous years. incomes, they are
going to collect There may be
proper purposes to which the many
will be devoted, but just what they are do
not now appear. OF course the cash will
all find its way out of the treasures. 1t
always does, no matter how much there is
of it, and without regard to the results. 1t
all goes and the next year more is wanted
and collected.
But what we specially want to say in
this connection this morning is that the
city council, in ordering local improve
ments to be paid for by local taxation,
should take into account the great increase
of general taxation. We all recognize the
fact that taxes have been low, a circum-
stance which has operated greatly to the
credit and fame of Salt Lake; to double the
taxes at one stroke and then pile on extra
assessments for local improvements will
not only be regarded as oppressive, but
will discourage our own people and
turn strangers away. By the time q
man pays into the public treasures twice
what he paid last year, and receives few il
any more benefits from his money, he will
not feel much like paying for a costly side
walk, for an expensive pavement for lay
ing water mains and sewers, and so on
which he is supposed to be more directly
and Immediately interested in. He would
rather have fewer of the modern comforts
and conveniences of city dwelling, ant
keep out of the bankruptcy court. L
should be regarded as sufficient in the way
of progress to increase the taxes 100 pei
cent. year, without piling up special as
sessments and making grand showing by
expressing the people. At any rate, NJ
local improvements should be ordered OF
insisted upon unless the property owner
express willingness to pay for them.

of the nation.
The HERALD really feels sorry for the
politicians and newspapers of the western
states and territories. The census enum-
orators will certainly prove them to be
awfully bad guessers or utterly reckless in
their assertions.

THE LIBERAL campaign committee Of last
winter owes it to the city to fetch in the
Pratt's siding and P. V. contingents, that
they may be counted by the census enumer-
ators as they were by the judges of election
in February. Failing in this there will be
a wide discrepancy between the registra-
ton books and the census schedules.

HIGH ScHo0L.-At the Council
meeting, last Tuesday night, the
question of erecting . High School
building in Covington was DISGUISE
ed at length. The Mayor and Al
dermen are Ill in favor Of the pro-
ject, and recognise the fact that
this is the greatest need Of our town
at present. Owing to the fact that
there IL still . balance due on the
Town Hall, (Which can be easily
paid when the notes fall due, the
Council will not be able to furnish
the entire amount necessary to put
up suitable building, but with the
aid of some outside subscriptions it
can be done. Many Of our public
spirited citizens, recognizing the
great necessity Of better educational
facilities, have expressed . wiling
ness to subscribe for such . pur-
pose, and-as viii be seen in the
Council proceedings in another
column committee has been ap-
pointed to confer with them and see
what can he done. That there IL
IN urgent necessity for . good High
School in Covington is universally
admitted, not only for the use Of
the children who permanently reside
here, but for those from . distance
in search of . quiet and healthy To-
cation, coupled with superior edu-
cational advantages. We could
name many persons who have come
here and were charmed with our
town. but were reluctantly compell-
ed to leave for other places, in or
der to give their children the adj
vantages Of good schools Of the
higher grades. This unfortunate
condition of affairs must and will be
promptly remedied, if our present
energetic Mayor and Board Of Al
dermen meet with the encourage
ment they deserve at the hands Of
the public-spirited citizens Of our
town and vicinity. The farmer is
not exactly trolling in wealth" at
the present time, but in order to
start the hall rolling, you can put
us down for $40, and il one hum
dred more will do the same, we will
have $1,000 to start with, and once
having made . start, the means
win soon be found to promptly put
up handsome school building that
will be an ornament and credit to
our town.

Of improvement along the line Of
the railroad between here and the

are replacing the humble abodes Of
the early settlers, and the saw mills

The following rather pungent
paragraph we clip from the Baton
Rouge Advocate:
1t was two generations ago that
Hon. Levi Foster, grandfather OF
Hon. Murphy J. Foster voted for
three lottery charters and made a
speech in the legislature defending
that method Of raising revenu'.
Tradition and history are both ST.
lent except in regard to the main
facts Of Grandfather Fosters sup
port Of lotteries. What we want
to know Is whether, when he gave
his hand and his heart to those votes
he assumed the tragic attitude
of eloquence and said: ''F0r my
country and her Honor, for my
State and her good name, for her
dead and for her living. I vote
yes."

THEY DECEIvE NO ONE.

The Ants cannot get any ono to
take much stock In their story Of
the superior condition Of the public
schools in Louisiana. We have IL
ready published what some Of the
country papers have had to say on
this subject. and shown how thor
onghly they repudiate the idea that
tho schools are Ill they should be.
Here 10 what . city Anti has ~ say.
the New Orleans Republican, which
upholds the Republican end Of the
Anti-Lottery line:
The Anti-Lottery League has dis
covered that the children Of Louis
lana are being better educated than
those Of most other States in the
Union. The educational statisti-
clan Of that concern must be .
great man-a great inventor-but
the chances are against his going to
heaven il the children have their
votes counted.
It Is not necessary to get the
evidence Of the De Soto Democrat,
the Sabine Southron, the Jackson
Patriot, the New Orleans Republic
can and other Anti papers to de-
monstrate that the public schools
of Louisiana are not what they
should be. This fact is shown by
the reports Of the Superintendent
Of Public Education, by the Official
statistics, etc. Nor is even this
evidence necessary, - the people
fully understand, and do not re-
quire to have it pointed out to them
that the State is neglecting this
important duty to its children.
We do not, therefore, cite the
remarks Of these Anti papers on this
subject to prove anything about
the schools, but simply to show
that the leading Ants in the State
refuse n accept the absurd state
ments and fraudulent statistics Of the
Anti-Lottery League in regard to
the schools. The latter ought "a
call in its address, for it has only
succeeded in bringing upon it the re-
pudiation Of every intelligent men,
Der Of its own faction. The Re.
publican, Anti, Of New Orleans,
about hits the mark when 1t calls the
statistician Of the League "a great
INVENTOR" but he has made moth
ing with his inventi0ns-for no
one credits them.-Times Demo
