persons who believe that he will oppose
the adoption Of the constitution now being

CARPETS UNDER TIE HAMMER

THE HERALD day or two ago briefly
referred to a great carpet sale in New
York last week. The Smith Carpet COM
pany of Yonkers, offered 1880 pieces,
valued at more than $1,000, 900; probably
the largest stock ever before put up The
goods embraced everything the firm had,
excepting only few patterns reserved for
next springs trede. In his preliminary re-
marks the auctionesr said:
With the removal of these accommodations
the only serious problem with which carpet
manufacturers will have to contend is the high
price OF wool caused by the MCKINLEY bill, and
the still more severe Interpretation OF it's mean.
ing by the treasury department Remember,
high prices for the wool mean high cost to man
ufacture carpets.
The diversity in the grades in tapestries,
moquettes. Administers, ETC., were such
that the list of prices would be of little in
terest to the general reader. The buyers
included leading members of large import
ing firms
The duties on carpet wool were, by the
MCKINLEY act, raised about II per cent,
and on carpets 20 to 25 per cent Before
then, it is said, the United States made
more carpets than all the world beside, and
Philadelphia alone more than all England.
The tariff was passed more than year ago
and an eastern paper speaks of the sale
above mentioned as an 'obiect lesson of the
first magnitude" Instead of anybody be-
ing benefited by the MCKINLEY act, bust
ness has been demoralized. 1t has all re-
suited from the attempt to compel the car
pst-makers to use American. grown wool
when the industry required quality not
produced in America.

THE SUNDAY SALOON SCANDAL

The disgrace of Sundays arrests of
saloon-keepers by the United States mar
shall falls upon the city police administra-
ZION and not upon the citizens, and only in
certain degree upon the rum sellers them
selves, for as the United States commits
sloner said in passing Judgment upon the
men, the course Of tie city government lad
oeen such as to encourage the accused to
'ioiate the law, or at least TO believe they
would not be disturbed in such violation.
AND yet every good citizen must feel a
sense Of shame that the defiance of the
statute was SO open and the negli-
gence of the police SO palpable that
the federal marshal felt that he was forced
10 step in and perform police duty.
There can be presented no sort of excuse
Tor this condition of things. The police
cannot plead ignorance of the fact that sa-
looms have been running on Sunday almost
as openly as Oh other days. Drunken men
are seen Keeling through the streets on the
Sabbath. Men go in and out of the gin
mills freely and in the very presence OF the
o1neers. The doors are not locked and no
watch is maintained. If the blinds are
down 1t is because the bar tender has more
respect fer public sentiment than
fear of the law and it's ofic-
ers. The newspapers are continually
prodding the police department in this
matter and asking that at least show of
unfolding the law be made. But with all
the facts before .hem, with the scandal
continually dinging in their ears, even
with the chief justice specially charging
the grand jury in the case and directing
particular attention to the negligence Of
those charged with unfolding the law, the
city nall people give nc heed to what is
going.
We Rre told that SO safe did the saloon
men feel in their freedom from disturb
ance that the well known deputy mar
shals did not have TO practice any of
the arts of the detective in procuring
evidence of guilt. No effort at secrecy was
put forth BY the liquor dealers, their doors
being open and intoxicents sold to all ap-
plicants. Doubtless a policeman in uni
form would have been served as other Gus
toners, only he might not have been asked
to pay the price of his drink
reflects gross discredit upon the police ad-
mlnlstration. 1t is disgraceful that the
United States marshal has to interfere to
enforce the laws and ordinances in the city
when the taxpayers are maintaining for
midabls and high-priced constabu-
larry to preserve order and compel
a decent compliance with the
requirements of the statutes We do not
regard it that any discredit falls upon the
community because Of this proceeding, or
that Salt Lake is any worse In a moral or q
legal sense on account of the irregularity
In the enforcement OF the laws. Public
sentiment has always demanded, and does
so to-day as strongly as ever, that saloons
shall be closed on Sunday, and if the city
officials will not perform their duty the
community is blameless, the scandal which
necessarily follows the interference by the
marshal falling only upon the negligent
and falling police department..

rectly from the business centre to a popu-

assault, and one which tells too plainly
that the necessities of the foot
pads and the lax manner in
which the city is patrolled by the police
have made the ugly gentry both desperate
and bold. Only few evenings since a
gentleman was robbed at his own gate, and
not long ago another was shot in an en-
counter with two fellows who demanded

The HERALD does not pretend to saw
tnat the city police can properly patrol the
entire city. Such a proposition would be
ridiculous Nor would it be wise in the
present and prospective condition of the
municipal finances to materially increase the
paid force. The expense of the department
Is as heavy as the taxpayers think they can
maintain. Yet, whilst more policemen may
not be employed, the beats of those now on
duty might with propriety and with good
results be extended somewhat from the
centre of town, especially before midnight
by which hour people are at home. There
Is very little occasion for policemen on
Main street before IL O'Clock D. ~, and it is
between nightfau and that hour that most
OF the hold-ups take place. II the officers
were to give less attention to the business
quarter and moro to the main thorough
1ares leading to the residence districts
IN the early part OF the evening we are
certain tie effect would be good. Another
thing: Closer watchfulness should be
placed on the suspicious characters who
lnfess the city il such numbers. They
must be known by the police, for they are
daily l9iterers on the streets and frequent
ers OF the lower saloons and dives. These
mon should be spotted and made 30 give an
account OF themselves. If they cannot es-
taollsh that they are getting living by
legitimate methods, put them at work on
tho streets. That plan has been effective
IN other places and would work we'll here.

faces the police are familiar, who have no
employment or visible means of support.

ment to be set upon by murdercus scoun-
drels, the public will sanction pretty close
scrutiny into the lives of those whose con-
duct gives rise to suspicious. Everybody
feels that something should be done to over
come this reign Of terror and restore the
sense of security which has departed.
Meantime men who are wise will observe
greater caution both in the matter of going
on the streets after dark and in providing
against assault. AS individuals are left
largely to their own protection, they should
prepare for the work in hand
