TONIGHT.

The HERALD hopes to see the Salt Lake
theatre filled tonight with thoughtful,
earnest men. We don't care what their
political faith has been or is-we want the
citizens to go there and listen attentively
to what will be said. Then, if any or all of
these listeners can endorse the political
doctrines which will be taught, if they can
approve the principles of government
which will be declared, we ask the citizens
to unite with the movement just inaugu-
rated and lend the assistance of their num-
bers andintelligence to the great work which
the Democrats are setting out to perform
in this territory.
1t seems to US there is nothing in the
declaration of principles as formulated
and promulgated by the Central Demo
cratic club of this county, which does
not command the sympathy of every good
citizen. There is nothing in that platform
which II lived up to would not give better
and purer government. There is nothing
demanded which is not an inherent right Of
the people living in republic. II is be-
cause of our belief in these principles and
our faith in the discriminating intelligence
OF the people that we earnestly desire the
presence of all at to-night's gathering. We
know that the more who attend the greater
will be the impetus given TO the Demo-
cratic movement just inaugurated for the
purpose of rescuing and saving this fair
territory from the enemy that is to-day
planning and scheming for the capture of
this inviting field.
Gentlemen who love Utah, you
who would see this commonwealth
prosperous and happy, the pride of all it's
good citizens. Go to the theatre this even
ing and attentively listen to what will be
said. If you approve of what you hear, if
you believe in the triumph of the princi-
pies enumerated, stand forth courageously
for those principles and announce your
Willingness to carry them forward to vic
tory. Let the movement which will be set
in motion tonight receive such momentum
that it cannot be stayed in it's progress
until Utah has been rescued and made safe
against her enemies and the enemies of
true republican government.

THE TRIB. GROWS KIND.

THE HERALD publishes the following extract
from the Tribune.
The first thing that will be taken from the
Mormons will be the franchise Then they will
ma themselves at the mercy Of such la ws as
may be prescribed for them. The next attack
will be on their property. This will mean final
bankruptcy, not only for the masses but for the
rich in TIE organization. -
That was published in the Tribune long time
ago. 1t was published in an appeal to the Nor.
mons to give up polygamy. The
Tribune no longer advises the Saints to give up
polygamy.- Tribune, May II.
Ofcourse it doesn't, but it still advocates
the Acknowledgement of the Mormons,
denial 70 them of jury trial, and of the right
to acquire and hold land. Thus:
Mormons, being subjects of an alien and
hostile temporal government have no right to
participate in public political affairs, and no
real claim to the benefit of the public land laws.
Tribune, Noe. 1, 1890.
THE HERALD says that we would take away
the franchise from men who have committed
no crime, and make all the offices appointive by
one man. If we had had our way four or five
years ago we would have done better than that
We would have taken the elective franchise
away from every man in Utah, Mormon and
GENTLE alike, and would have had the govern
ment OF the United States assert it's authority
by appointing commission to come here and
draft code and execute it-Irj6une, Oct. 81

what the Tribune would have the Mormons
do besides obeying every law of the land
with ten times more strictness than DO the

court records plainly show. The reply of

1t said the Mormons should be disfran-
chised because they were guilty, as it
claimed, of the 'crime of theocracyn We
demanded once more TO know how they
could clear themselves of that crime
and the sheet at once responded:
Before the Mormon politicians can establish
| that MormoniSm is not an absolute theocracy.
| they must deny the faith. They must
blot out the written and published and acted
! record The files of all Mormon news
papers and periodicals must be called in = i
They must then lie out OF existence the history
and traditions Of Utah and blot out the memo
ries of all living Mormons.- Tribune, october 20,
1890.
And that is all that the Mormons must do
in order to escape: o. Acknowledgement.

have its way. To-dayit is kind enough to
tell the Mormons again that mot one Of
them is fit to cast an American ballot"

A CENSUS bulletin from the division of
pauperlsm and crime shows that the drift
of the people to the bad is not as swift as
some would make it appear. Indeed,
comparison with the showing made in
1850, demonstrates that as q community,
the American people are getting no worse
morally. The increase in the number of
penitentiary convicts is 1905. In 1850 the
population was so, 1857 the number of
convicts, including leased prisoners, being
.53S. The ratio of conyicts to population
was 709 in each million. In 1890 the popu-
lation was 62.622, $50, and the number of
convicts 1929, the ratio of convicts to the
population being 727 to the million.

HOW TO DETECT 1t.
Come Valuable Hints Regarding the Gripp-
Signs of its Approach and How to
Counterfeit Them.

The discussion as to the cause Of the Grippe
is OF course interesting but gives little satisfac
ton TO its unfortunate victims. Whether
caused by microbe or Vagarles OF the weather
its ravages continue and the country still bends
under the scourge. In Chicago, recently, the
deaths from this cause were so great that the
undertaking facilities of the city were INSULT
cieut to meet the emergency. The death rate
is correspondinGly high everywhere.
1t cannot DO too strongly impressed on people
that, in order to ward off the disease, warning
symptoms must be regarded and prompt action
taken, 1t becomes extremely difficult to dis
odge the disease If allowed to take it's course.
Hence its name. 1t generally com rnences with
a slight headache or pain in the small OF the
back or limbs. 1t does not always give one
even as plain a hint as this-a feeling OF tight
ness across the forehead, buzzing in the ears,
or peculiar feeling about the eyes, may be all
the caution one gets, SO it is culpable careless
ness to neglect even these slight signs.
The remedy lies in stimulant, and the pref
erence should be given to whisky. All the doc
tors of this country are agreed on this point,
but are very careful to impress on their patients
the fact that pure whisky alone must be taken.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky is the purest on the
market, and can be readily obtained at all drug
stores. This preparation, which Is endorsed by
all the leading doctors, scientists and chemists
of the present day, is this year adding to the
first-class reputation which it won during the
epidemic Of the Grippe last year. There are
many imitators who say their WHISTLES are
lust as good" Do not be deceived They are
not. Duffy's Pure Malt is the only medicine

THE ANTI-LOTTERY LAW.

The postmaster of FL Paso, Texas, is in
trouble. because of his extreme partisan
nature. He is Republican, as a matter
Of course, and when his party newspaper
published a synopsis of the Louisiana
supreme court decision commanding the
secretary of state to submit to the people
of that state at the next election an amend
ment to the constitution passed by the late
general assembly extending the charter of
the lottery company, no objection was
raised and the papers were regularly for
warded through the mails. On Wednes-
day, however, the Democratic paper pub
lished the same matter, whereupon the
edition was confscated and refused trans
mission through the mails. Several Just
such incidents occurred soon after
the passage of the anti-lottery ad-
vertising act, Democratic newspapers
containing lottery matter being held
while Republican sheets containing
equally unlawful matter were duly for
warded. The Texas Democratic editor
does not propose to quietly submit to the
partisan discrimination, and has caused
the arrest of the postmaster on the charge
of unlawfully OBTAINING mail matter 1t is
to be hoped that the case will be prosecuted
for all there is in it, first, with the view to
Furnishing an official who has no higher
conception of his duty than to think that
bis administration must be in the interest
of his party friends instead of for the
public good, and then to determine lust
how much Of press censorship the govern
ment has the right to exercise under this
wisely intended but clumsily drawn and
vicieusly executed anti-lottery law. The
object OF the law was to prevent the adver-
tisement of lotteries in the newspapers, not
to prosecute the latter, and certainly not
to prevent the publication of legiti-
mate news. The Louisiana court de-
more or less of that decision has been
printed in every enterprising newspaper
in the country. To exclude these papers
from the mails is not merely ridiculous, but
is malicious. The law never intended that
this should be done, and if Congressman
had for moment thought that any such
construction would be placed on the
statute, the bill wouldn't have received
dozen votes in either house.
1t seems to US that the Ell Paso case pre-
sents splendid opportunity for test, and
we believe that test will result in putting
check upon oficious and obstreperous
postmasters who are making themselves
con temptible by the exercise of too much
zeal.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.

Census bulletin No. SO, giving statistics
Oh education, shows some remarkable
changes which have taken place during the
past decade in the public school enrolment.
For instance, the gain in enrolment in
Arkansas was l06.1O per cent, while the
population gain was only 1888 per cent. ::
IN Maine and New Hampshire the enroll
ment decreased respectively 73S and 81
per cent, the population increasing by 81
and S.57 The highest percentage of gain
IN enrolment was in South Dakota, 722. II.
the population gain being 1866 per cent.
New Mexico, however, makes better
comparative showing, her school enroll
ment being increased 2S3.07 per cent. while
her population increased but 2S.46 per cent.
This is accounted for by the fact that
her children have lately been taken
from the parochial schools and placed
IN the public schools. Most of the
older states show a greater increase
IN population than in public school enroll
ment which may be explained by the cir
cumstance that in the old settled commupi-
ties as people acquire wealth the tendency
IS to place their children in the private
schools, or employ tutors at home. Utab,s
population gain during the decade was
a. AZ per cent, and her percentage of gain
In public school enrolment was 4.O2.
The total public school enrolment in this
territory in 1880 was 25,791, and in 1890,
1892. The enrolment in private schools
on March of this year was O,25S, and in
parochial schools, $50. Salt Lake county.

BY means of this deep pocket a man
of-war could arrive at safe anchorage
in Rockaway inlet. Less than six miles
away from this anchorage are the out
lying wards OF Brooklyn, two miles
further is the East River, and another
mile beyond is the heart of New York
City. From this inlet hostile ironclad
could lombard Brooklyn and New York
with a destruction UNPARALLELED in the
history OF bombardment, and there
could be no effective reply to this at
tack. Fort Hamilton and Fort Wads-
worth, guarding the narrows between
the upper and lower bays would be
nine miles away. from the disturbcr,
safely anchored in Rockaway inlet, and
these forts have no armament that
could throw shells such distance.
In 1882 Gen. John Newton and body
OF engineers from the army male q
critical examination of this pocket with
great twin cities. They found that this
deep water could be brought under
effective fire in a circle having Plumb
Island in the center with radius of six
miles. They recommended the arquisi-
ton of Plumb Island by the Govern
ment and the immediate construction of
Notifications there. Since that time
several schemes have been proposed for
guarding the entrance to New York har-
Dor that would include the defense of
this deep water approach to the shore of
