There has been IA singular state Of af-
fai,s in Florida. A Senator was to be-
be elected. The Democrats entered
into IL caucus to nOmipate u candidate
by u two third vote. In the caucus
Senator Call received about So votes
against IS opposition. This contest
has been kept up every night for
about two months, when a molten was
made 10 adjourn the caucus wl,irh
was carried. The next day when the
Legislature assembled IL majority of
the Senators were absent, but on roll
call in joint assembly there was a
majority, and upon IL vote Ca vas
elet ted. 1t is claimed by the Anti
call men that there was not Il mai,ri-
ty Of Senators in the joint Assembly,
and hence the Election is illegal.
Florida will hardly find a more etfrc-
tive Senator, one who will watch her
interests more closely, than Senator
Can. if he does do animmense amount
OF talking il the Senate.

TAKE YOUR POPGUN AWAY.

Last evening the Enquirer again tried
to prove that protection don't protect.
If its figures are correct, then protection
is a failure and should be knocked in
the head for that reason. 1t says that
for the ten months ending April 30th
there has been an increase in our i'm
ports over SIMILAR periods in the past of
S107, 1894, 724. Pray, what is your theory
of protection any how? Wasn't the
MoA inley law passed to keep out for
eign goods? Hav'nt you been trying
to make your readers believe for the
past ten days THAT is, ever since you
became "life long Republican, that
this same high tariff keeps competitors
out? Certainly, but what now? Your
own figures fatty contradict this great
theory. Friend, don t hold your pop
gun so close to your own Republican
nose; in other words, don't write
editorials on this tariff question, but
carefully copy them ready made from
the New York Press or some other
good Republican paper, else your party
must mu7Zle you.

WHY THE DISTINCTIONS

The MCKINLEY tariff bill adds, on
the average, 70 per cent. more to the
cost of goods used and purchased by the
masses of the people, than it does to
the goods used and purchased by the
wealthy.
Friends of that bill Will have some
trouble to explain why these distinc-
tions have been made in readjusting
tariff rates. For instance:
Fine cashimeres, worn only by the
wealthy classes, was advanced but %
per cent.
Fine broadcloth, also worn only by
the rich, was advanced only 20per cent.
Wooden goods, which the poor man
wears, was advanced 40 per cent.
Why this difference?
Seal skin sacques, which are for the
rich and prosperous, was reduced SO
per cent.
Imitation seal skin sacques advanced
120 per cent, and plush sacques ad-
vanced l20 per cent.
The poor mans goods advanced, the
rich mans reduced. Why2
Silk vests, no advance.
Cotton velvets advanced 100 per
cent.
Who will explain why this difference
is made?
SIX Innings for the rich mans clothes,
no advance.
Cotton Innings for the poor mans
clothes advanced 2S5 per cent.
Will some MCKINLEY tariff man ex-
plain the reason for the above differ
ence?
Again:
Black silk dress goods, no advance.
The well-to do wear silk.
Black alpaca dress goods advanced
66 per cent. The dress for the poor
mans wife.
Also:
Silk laces advanced only 20 per cent.
Cotton laces advanced so per cent.
Wives of poor men, urge your hus-
bands to vote against the party that
perpetrated these outrageous distinc-
tons, and maintains them and up
holds them.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT.

AS illustrating the effects of reducing
the tariff, we call attention to the price
of sugar. This is an article everyone
uses and without taking anybody's
word for it each housewife can figure
out for herself about how much tax her
family paid on this article last year.
All recOllect that up to the passage of
the MCKINLEY law, which put sugar
on the free list from those countries
where we get most of this article, it cost
here in Provo about eight and one-half
or nine dollars a sack. Now when we
are allowed to buy where we can get
sugar the cheapest, we get it delivered
our own door for 1915 per sack-a
difference of about three dollars on
every hundred pounds, so if bought
three sacks of sugar last year you paid
a tax of nine dollars on that article
alone.
Take the tariff law and look over the
dozens of little articles you are buying
each day, and you will find the same
high tax is being levied upon you with
out your knowledge.
If it is good to admit sugar free and
pay bounty 10 infant industries to
protect them, why isn't it good to re-
duce it on clothing, plows. rakes and
the hundreds of other articles of neces-
c;+vo

WHERE HAsTHAT SURPLUS GOMEZ

The available surplus in the treasury
reaches the manifigcent sum of mil
lion and a quarter. The government
at Washington seems to be sailing
pretty close to the wind.
In order to make even this poor
showing it is necessary to sweep up all
the small coin in the national vaults.
We are reminded of the man who made
an inventory of his possessions and
counted the nickles and coppers in his
trousers pockets.
Uncle Sam, who smiled at the one
hundred millions in the treasury three
years ago, is about as disguised an indi-
vidual as can be found in these parts.
He hasn't very much to be proud of, it
must be admitted. However, the Re-
publicans have been faithful to their
pledges in this matter. Mr.. FRYE of
Maine, speaking in their name, prom
ised that if the party should get
another whack at the presidency they
would make the treasury as empty as a
countryman on his first sea voyage.
They have kept their word religiously,
and here we are with the prospect of q
deficit in the near future.

WATCHED WITH INTEREST.

The triple alliance continues to be
prominent topic of discussion through
out Europe. In some quarters 1t IS re-
garded as giving assurances OF peace, in
others as menace to all hopes of peace.
The fact that Russia is Fastening the
con pletion of large quantities OF NUM-
tions of war for her army and navy is
regarded very generally as danger
signal. Russia's withdrawal of gold
from England and from continental
banks and her investments in France
occasions great concern. In view of
these facts no one ventures to deny
that there must be an understanding
between Russia and France, and that
formal alliance between them is not
only possible, but probable. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that this will depend
largely on the attitude of England to-
ward the triple alliance. Emperor
William, of Germany, has endeavored
to induce Holland to join the alliance.
and it is rumored that Holland thinks
quite favorably of the proposition. The
emperor declares frankly that he is I'M
able to pscify France, and that she de-
mands what it is impossible to give.
He is willing to make certain conces-
sions for the sake Of friendship and
peace. He declares that it is the aim
of German state policy to preserve the
Stdtu quo throughout Europe. He, him
self, is for peace, and must be attacked
before he takes any action. Germany,
therefore, will act only on the defen-
sive, and if God DEGREES that the peace
of Europe shall be disturbed, Germany
will actively and vigorously defend her
rights. The emperor in discussing this
question is said to have declared that
Germany will defend these rights even
if she goes down to the sea in blood.

RATHER CROOKED
Bardsley Tries to Get Away
With a Snug Sum.
His Niece Makes an Unsuccessful Attempt
to Land $50, 900 in Bardsley's Pocket
The Case to be Investigated.

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-In the
course of the investigation of the af-
fairs of ex-CitY Treasurer Bardsley, in
connection with the Glendenning & Co.
law department, it is learned that the
bankers who were depositors in the
Fourth Street National bank had on
May % received clearing house due
bill from that institution for $50, 275.5S
About ten days ago it was presented by
a messenger of the City Trust company
who asked that the bill be made paya-
BILE to their order instead of Glenden-
ming 81 Co.
This request was made on behalf of
Bardsley, who said the due bill was his
property and not public money. Miss
latham, niece of Bardsley's, who
made the request, said her uncle
wanted to have it transferred this way
to the Trust company. The demand
of the Trust company was refused and
the city solicitor, after investigating
the matter, had bill filed in the court
of common pleas against Bardsley, his
wife and niece, the Fourth Street Ma
tional bank, Glendenning & Co., and
the City Trust company.
The injunction asks that the Fourth
street bank be restrained from paying
the bill. and that Bardsley, his wife
and niece be restrained from negotia-
ting it and compelling them to trans
fer it to the city authorities. 1t was
also asked that Glendenning & Co. be
compelled to explain the transactions
which led to Bardsley getting the due

she Wanted to Die.

SANTA FEE, N. NJ, June 27.-An old
woman attempted suicide at the coun-
ty poor farm tonight. 1t was Mary
Stetson, y years of age, who had just
been released from the jail few days
previous. She is familarly known as
Grandmother, and was the oldest
female prisoner ever confined in the
Jail. One night in the beginning of
May she was found with bundle of
clothes and some cheap jewelry wand
ering around in the rain and slush,
Officer Keane arrested her and she was
given thirty days in the comfy Jail.
When she was released Mrs. Ravens,
the matron, gave her dress small
white-handled penknife and secured u
home for her at the county poor farm.
On Monday night she was found in an
clubhouse covered with blood. She had
attempted to cut the arteries in her
wrist, and several gashes were made.
One severed the artery and but for the
timely discovery she would have bled
to death. She was moved to the
county hospital where she is recover
ing. The physicians say she is insaI1>.
and steps will be taken to have her
placed in the insane hospital. She
told Mrs. Ravens that she wanted to
go back to Jail or die, as she had no
friends. She is French and can speak
but little English.

NOW FOR WATERWORKs.

AS the days, weeks and months roll on
without any movement being made to-
ward establishing waterworks in cur
fair city, the good citizens are bec0m-
ing impatient almost savage. When
men, who have invested the accumula-
tions of half a life time in business in
one of our streets, contemplate for a
moment the danger to which their
means of subsistence is exposed, they
grow pale and sick at heart, and no
wonder. Suppose match should be ac-
cidently ignited, a lamp overturned, or
by any other means a blaze should
start, say, in the Union block, what
would be the inevitable result? De-
struction, ruination of business, and
injury to all. Every one real
ICES this. 1t is not necessary
to argue this point. 1t is plain tn all.
And so they want waterworks. They
have been demanding it for
years, and why cannot they have it?
Not because Provo can't afford it. She
is amply able either by direct taxation,
If a sufficient sum could be raised
that way or by bonding, or by selling
some of the city's dead property to put
in at once a good system.
We believe if a vote were called to-
morrow there would be an unanimous
vote in favor of a sufficient expenditure
to put in a system worthy of our thriv-
ing city.
And then such magnificent facilities!
Few such streams as Provo river are
to be found anywhere. Why, Salt Lake
city would give millions for just one
half our crystal stream. The
power we could command would
be wonderful. With such quail
ity of water. such volume and such
fall. we believe that Provo with
small expenditure could put in bet
ter system of water works than any
other city in Utah, if not in the West.
Not alone to quench fire do we need
the water. but for sprinkling the
streets, irrigating lawns, and for cult
nary purposes. In order to preserve
the health of the city something must
be done to furnish every house in the
more thickly populated part of the
city with a supply of pure water. As
it is. we are drinking the dregs of our
neighbor's back yard. We believe that
for. some months past the hands of the
city council have been tied so that little
could be done in this matter, but now
we know of no distractions to rapid
and complete solution of this question.
City Fathers, if you desire lifelong
fame from this generation, strike now,
bond the city, do most anyway to build
WaterWorks for Provo.

HOME MARKET HUMBUG.

Manufacturers say to the farmer,
Protect us so that we can build mills;
pay us higher prices than you do 9th
ers; give us business, and we will en-
ploy lot of men to eat your produce,
and give you home market for all you
can raise" But since 1861 the manu-
facturers have grown rich, while the
farmer, once the envy of all humanity,
has been retrograding comparatively.
In fact the mill-owners, all their en-
ployes and the miners combined, in
clude less than ten per cent. of our
working population. And the fact is,
since 1861, the farmer is to-day, under
high protection, more dependent than
ever upon foreign markets, and is forced
to find sale abroad for larger proper
ton of what he produces than he did in
1850 under the free trade tariff.
