class to give to another; and when it does
so under color Of its authority ito provide
! for the general welfare" the act is mere
stealing, not made any more respectable
simply because the government has been
the thief
Moreover, the dependence of any class or
business upon the favors of Congress has
strong tendency to corrupt the people and
to render them less reliant upon their own
powers and resources. The loss of Roman
liberty and of Roman virtue has been dated
from the time when the people accepted
distribution from the public granaries.
Besides, whenever paternalism has
been put into operation, it has
failed of good results. Our In
dian policy, the decline Of our navy,
the depression of Industries iniuriously af-
fected by the meddling OF the government,
are conspicuous examples. Federal con-
troll Of elections would have been another
more terrible example of paternalism. The
failures and faults of paternalism woul d
require a volume for detailed mention.
The best government g is that which gov
ems least. So long as a man does not IN
fringe upon the rights, liberty or property
of others, he may do as he pleases. He
may go or come, think Or speak, build,
plow or sail; he may agitate for reforms,
may be believer or a skeptic may buy in
the cheapest and sell in the dearest market,
or do the exact reverse of this sensible
thing if he pleases. The only limit to his
freedom of action or speech is that he shall
not interfere with the rights of others in
the same respects, nor violate their
freedom and security to do the same things
with him. Upon his thoughts, his con-
science, his feelings, there can be no re-
stralnts whatever. These are his own, and
not even the government shall prescribe
rules for their exercise or limits to their
workings.
Personal independence is one Of the
grandest traits of human character. 1t is
a heritage from ancient barbarism, it is
true, when each man was the defender of
himself and his own household; but
the. constitution affirms it as a prin-
cipie, in the clauses prohibiting
the establishment of "a religion
by the state, and in providing that "the
right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall
not be violated That all men are born
free and equal, and have certain natural,
essential and inaienable rights; that
among these may be reckoned the right OF
enjoying and defending their lives and lib
critics, of acquiring, possessing and pro
tectlng property, and of seeking and
obtaining their safety and happiness by
any means consistent with the rights of
others-these are fundamental Democratic
notions which are more or less at variance
with the Republican doctrine that man
may do whatever the government chooses
to allow him to do, but nothing else, and
that the government may do whatever it
deems will best promote the general well
fare.

AS TO PAVEMENTS.

a nash OF intelligence seemed to fall
athwart the council chamber on Monday
evening, and some of the members talked
little common sense as to paving For
fifteen months the councilmen have been
MAD on this subject, and had it not been for
the restraining influence of the taxpayers
would have involved the city in almost in
extrlcable debt for pavements which were
not needed and for costly experiments. On
monday evening some of the gentlemen re-
covered their reason, when they confessed
that The paving district was entirely too
large, embracing streets for which there
was no immediate demand for pavement.

ITS DEGRADATION.

About the meanest thing that has ap-
peared in the meanest newspaper on earth
lately, was the statement in TUESDAYS
Tribune, ION good authority, that Zion,s
Cooperative Mercantile Institution has
been solo to syndicate of Gentle capital
lists, who will assume control as soon as
stock can be taken and the books balanced. ,,
OF course this was willful, deliberate and
malicious lie, lie manufactured in the
Tribune office and published with no other
object in view than the injury of the great
mercantile institution which the entire
gang on our contemporary have always so
heartily hated. We say it was a willful
lie, because it could not have been
stated ION good authority" as there
was absolutely nothing in it. We
don't believe that anything the
Tribune can say would iniure the Coop
In the least; it certainly cannot injure it in
this community where the paper is known,
and the many vile attacks that the sheet
has made on the institution in the past has
not hart the concern abroad, e. c. M. l..

world than it has ever stood before. Our
only purpose in referring to the matter is
to call the attention of the public to the

PATERNAL GOVERNMENT.

Among the principles promulgated by the
Central Democratic club of Salt Lake
county the following occurs:
S-We are opposed to the idea of a central.
lied or paternal government believing that the
best government IS the one that governs least
and therefore we believe in the largest liberty
OF the individual citizen consistent with good
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Platform.
A political manual describes paterpalism
as system of government that, instead of
combining its attention to the preservation
of order and the enforcement of Justice
descends to the regulation of the details in
the life of an individual. These, expert
ence has shown, can best be left to the
individual himself
The sentence quoted above reiterates the
doctrine of JEFFERSON that at is time
enough for the rightful purposes of civil
government for its officers to interfere
when principles break out into overt acts
against peace and good order.''
Democracy disputes at every stage the
theory that the government can assume to
govern the nation as a parent governs his
children, taking from one to give to another
or bestowing upon one more than upon the
others if he chooses to DO so. That the gov
eminent shall discriminate in any such way
is utterly repugnant to Democratic ideas.
When the government, by the tariff on
sugar, for example, took money from the
whole American people and gave it to the
sugar trust, and continued this policy of
enriching the sugar refners at the expense
of other people, this was a piece of pater-
nalism that was justly execrated by all be-
levers in equality. AS CLEVELAND re
marked in one of his famous messages
1.-The government under the pretext of an
exercise of its taxing power enters gratui-
tously into partnership with these fayorites
This IS not equality before the law" "He
mocks the people who proposes that the
government shall protect the rich and that
they in turn will care for the laborino
poor.'
Democrats generally deny the right of
the government to take from one person mr.

THE MAINS EXTENSION N.

That was another important petition
which went in to the city council last even
ing asking that the system heretofore fol-
lowed OF extending water mains by local
assessment be abandoned and the extern
sions be paid for by general taxation.
The petition is important in that it bore
the names OF nearly nine hundred taXpay-
ers, OF all parties, and in that it asks JUS
uce at the hands of the municipal govern
ment. AT the beginning the council started
right IN the matter of laying mains at the
cost OF the public, and there should have
been no departure from the rule, the mains
being extended to all parts of the city as
fast as the finances would permit. How
ever there was a departure, and the pres
ent council has carried that departure to
an oppressive extent, until the people have
felt that 1t was necessary in self -protec-
ton, to protest and to institute suits re-
straining the authorities from practicing
the outrages and robberies. The mains
have been strung for miles through streets
where there is little or no call for the
water, and where the abutting land IS
worth today little more than the cost of
the Improvement. If the courts had not
gone to their rescue with iniunctions.
scores of people would have been sorelv
distressed and been compelled to mortgage
their homes for the money to pay the taxes.
The petitioners ask that the CITY refund
to the taxpayers the money the latter have
been forced to pay for the extension of the
mains. This should be done as an act of
justice, but we doubt that it will be done
as the city has not the money, and as the
mayor pointed out on Monday evening. the
limit OF the borrowing power has about
been reached. To pay back the money up-
Justly taken from the people would leave
the municipal government without funds
to meet the necessary expenses of the
administration.
However, the council can, if it is so dis
posed, treat the petition with considera-
ton, and can put stop to the ubiquitous
practice of laying mains in front of peo-
pies lots and compelling the lot owners to
pay the cost.

6f8Gght from q central depot in New
York City to Pittsburg by gang of
Italians. The money was all in silver
dollars and United States two dollar
certificates. Detective Sweeney says this
is the best counterfeit of the standard
silver dollar that was ever made. Tho
coin is perfectly formed in every detail,
and its ring identical with the good coin,
the only fault about it being it is a little
light in weight.
From the persons arrested here infor-
nation was gained that the money was
made in New York and they had been
sent here to dispose oft. Similar gangs
we're sent to other cities, but the men
could not tell what particular cities were
being operated in. Not mould or die
