Rev. J. A. Wynne has organized
Sunday School Teachers Associa-
ton for the study of Sunday School
lessons and for the best methods of
teaching. The meetings are held
each Thursday night at the Baptist
parsonage. This is a good move.
Let other pastors follow suit.
Rev. Joel T. Dawes, Jr., spent
two or three days at the home of
his father and mother, this last
week. lie entered Monday morn
ing on his duties as a teacher in
the Atlanta High School.
Rev. DIR. Buttolph and Rev. Mr..
Hunt gave the Methodist parsonage
great pleasure in a call a few days
since.
The Baptist prayer meetings are
we'll attended. There is promise of
great good iE any church that can
have live prayer meetings.
Lenten services are Being con.
Quoted every morning at the Epis-
copal Church by Rev. L. r. Mason.
The Methodist pastor had pleas
ant visit last week to the home of
the venerable Rev. j. w. Baker.
The Methodist pastor has been
quite unwell-threatened with La
Grippe-for more than week. At
this writing he is suffering a good
deal. This may be an explanation
to many of his flock. who have been
looking for him on his usual rounds
of pastoral visiting.
Rev. Mr.. Dawes makes a special
call upon all his members to be
present IN the services of tle CONS
ing Sabbath. The subjects to be
presented are intensely interesting.
In addition, there is an imperative
reason Why each one that can get
to church, should be in his place.

FREE SCHOOLS.

That good system of free schools
is beneficial to a town cannot he
! questioned. Men may object to
such a system, out they must at the
same time admit the fact that a
town is benefited by it. Free
schools have done more for Cedar
town, Dalton, Gainesville, Douglas
vile and Atlanta, than any one
thing inaugurated in those towns.
Marietta is now surrounded by these
free schools, every town has them
of any note, except Canton and Ac-
worth. Austell now has taken an
advanced step in this direction, and
il Marietta doesn't wish to have
these towns TO continually draw
from her population, she must have
them too Douglasville has almost
doubled her population since she
established free schools. The Aus
tell Advertiser quotes Col. S. n.
Dorset, an attorney and merchant
of Douglasville, as saying; 81 have
been in Douglasville since 1873 and
watched its progress, and since the
founding of the free school in 1887,
the population has increased 100 per
cent. Since che first of January
1890, sixty-fve houses have been
built. Douglasville has fully dou-
bled her population IN three years,
real estate has advanced, and bust,
ness of all kinds has improved"
Hon. John V. Edge, DR.. J. J. Sell
man, N. B. Duncan, and J. II. Dun.
can all say ''the population Of the
town has increased 40 to 60 per
cent since the schools were started.
The school now has $40 pupils, and
before that, there were not 80 chill
dren in all the schools in the whole
town. There are forty young men
trom@ distance boarding here, some
of them from other states "
Now, if tree schools will help
Douglasville, why will they not help
Marietta If there is a good reason
why Marietta shouldn't have free
schools, we have not heard it add
vanced.
On March 9th, come out and vote
for free schools, and let us push our
town forward, and not pull her back,
and the results will demonstrate
your wisdom.

POLITICAL SUICIDE,

Ex-President Cleveland in siding
with the ''gold bugs of Wall street,
has set aside his chances to be nomi-
mated President. No man is great
er than his party, measures, not
men, is the principle that will actu-
ate the Democratic party in nomi-
mating their candidate for President.
The Democratic sentiment is for
free coinage of silver-Cleveland is
against it, and, therefore, puts him
self in antagonism to the Democratic
party. The policy and principles Of
the Democratic party cannot be
changed to suit Mr.. Cleveland. The
public welfare of the people is worth
more than his elevation, and new
leader, in accord with Democratic
principles and measures, will come
forward and carry the banner of re-
form and relief to victory.

GEN. SHERMAN DEAD.

General William L. Sherman, the
famous Federal General, died in
New York last Saturday afternoon,
after brief illL ess. His illness was
produced by erysipelas, then pneu-
monia set in, and subsequently these
were augmented by bronchial trou-
bles, ending in his death. He was
born in Ohio in 1918, was educated
at West Point Military Academy,
and received a commission of LIST
Lieutenant. He was promoted to
captaincy during the Mexican
war. During the war between the
Northern and Southern States, he
offered his services to the Federal
government, was appointed colonel
OF infantry and was in the Bull Run
tight, was made brigadier general
and then promoted to maj or-gener-
al, and was in command of the army
that made the hmous "march to the
sea-" through Georgia. The people
of Georgia have cause to remember
him more than any Federal General,
because he was the most ruthless.
lie not only prosecuted the war, in
which he was engaged, with the
sword, out also with the torch, and
he left blackened ruins, desolation
and restitution in his rear as he
marched through Georgia, destroying
homes, railroads. driving off stock,
and leaving helpless women and
children homeless and with starva-
ton staring them in the face. He
said, "War is the science of barbar
ism" and from this standpoint he
practlced barbarism without chris
tan sympathy for the defenseless
and helpless, the aged and the
young. He believed that the torch
and death and desolation, merciless-
ly practiced, could OILY break the
backbone of the confederacy and
end the war. His judgment seemed
to be correct, and backed by an over
whelming army of soldiers, he flank
ed, fought and pursued and came
off victorious. He was one of the
North's greatest generals, next to
Grant in success and honors, but he
has fought his last fight, and death
is the victor. He will be buried in
st. Louis.

WHY RUSSIA PERSECUTES THEM.

IL mas never been satisfactorily explained
In this country why the Russian govern
ment 80 bitterly hated the Jews and was
SO vicious in its persecution of them. 1,
mas only been known that the Gar and his
government entertained no love for the
Hebrews and that he and his subordinates
persisted in making their want of affection
known in the most emphatic and offensive
manner. In an article in the March Forum,
on Russian Treatment of Jewish Sub
jects'' P. G. HUBERT, ir., states the princi-
pal grounds upon which the Russian justi-
mes his persecution of his Hebrew brother
as follows: 1, That the Jews are too rapa-
clous. and too successful in getting money
and property away from the surrounding
Chrlstlans;2, That they hold themselves,
as class, apart from the rest of the COM
munity; g. That they furnish many of
the leading Nihilists and mischief makers:
and 4, That they evade service in the army
and do not become patriotic Russians.
Just how well-founded these accusations
are does not appear, but if they we're all
true the blame would rest upon the Chris
tian Russians quite as heavily as upon the
Jews themselves. AS to the first charge
the allegation implies compliment rather
than an offense, for it is confession that
the'Jew has more intelligence and is bet
ter fnancier than the Russian. The for
mer certainly ought not to be punished for
possessing better brain than others, for
practlclng economy and industry and for
accommodating wealth, a thing which is COM
mended in Christians. If the Hebrew holds
himself aloot from others, is it not because
he has been forced to do sos For nineteen
hundred years he has been compelled to
stand aside and herd with his own people
socially. He has been proclaimed against
by laws. by Christianity and by society,
and has been taught by centuries of NAL
treatment that his race is regarded as un-
worthy to associate with others. and if he
does not mix with those with whom he
comes in contact, it is because
they will not admit him to their
circle. If the Russians had manifested
any disposition to receive the Jews On
terms of social equality the barriers which
now separate the races and which cannot
be oVerrun In one generation, would not
exist
AS to the other accusations, as a dispo-
slnon to Nihilism and an evasion OF army
service, it would be strange indeed if they
were not more or less true The course Of
the government inspires the Jews, as it
does other classes, to resistance and retslia-
ton. The Hebrews would be something
else than human if they did not seek to
get even" with those who make it their
study and business to Cypress and persecute
them; and it is asking too much to request
that men will love the government and he
when that government insists
that those mems very birth is an offense
against law, against society and against
mankind.
There IS really no good ground for the
Of the Jews in Russia. and
that persecution is the result of ignorance
and fanaticism, which are criminal in this
age OF enlightenment and exalted civiliza-
ton.

REBukING REED.

Was there ever such spectacle as that
presented in the House of REPRESENTATIVES
on Wednesday, when every member of the
great party of the people present voted no
on the customary resolution of thanks to
the speakers In the past it has been the
practice of a leading member of the minor
lty to move that the thanks of the House
ee presented to the speaker for the sable
impartial and dignified manner in which he
has presided over the deliberations, and
performed the arduous duties of presiding
ofhcer, and it has also been the rule for
every member of the minority to vote for
the resolution. Such a thing as demand
for the yeas and nays on such a motion
was unknown until yesterday, all taking
pleasure in testifying by vote to the off
Gals disposition to be fair. But on Wednes-
day the yeas and nays were called. and as
the Democrats were named they each and
all asked to be recorded as saying the
speaker had been unfair, unjust, partial
and undignihed in presiding over the DELHI
atoms OF the House. Mr. REED bluffed
it through, and delivered himself of q speech
in which he justified his course and ipduIped
IN INSTRUMENTATION; but unless his hide
is like that of rhinoceros, and his sensi-
ollltles cannot be touched, he must have
felt and will continue to feel keenlv the
terrible rebuke which was administered
The fact that thanks were voted by his own
partlsans, by those in whose interests all
his rulings had been given, furnishes mo
balm; the vote of the Republicans rather
emphasized the circumstance that he wao
being repudiated and denounced by those
only whose thanks would be priced on such
an occasion.
How different was the closing scene in
the Senatel There Senator RANSOM ono
Oh the foremost gentlemen on the Demo-
cratic side, offered resolution rendering
thanks to the Vice-President for the court

he had presided over the deliberations of

that vote more highly than any.

and In the years to come his children will
refer to 1t with pleasure as evidence that
their father had so high regard for law.
Tor fairness and for decency that notwith-
standing his partisan politics his political
opponents were pleased to go upon record
as testlfying to his uprightness and impair

we are heartily glad that the Democrats
Of the House had the courage to express
their opinion of the autocrat and to ad
80
minister the rebuke which accompanied
thelr refusal to sanction the resolution.
We are glad that they said to Mr.. REED
hat he had disgraced the position which he
occupied. That vote will have it's effect on
future speakers, inspiring them with the
dea that it is better to be fair, to be lust
md to recognize tie fact that minorities
lave rights which, it will be well to re-

THERE is one view of the Old Fort pro
sltion that has not been advanced" said
MIR. F. A. MITCHELL, OF the Home Coal
company, yesterday, land l think too much
stress cannot be laid upon it. That block
is the spot where the Pioneers made their
hrst resting place when they came to this
valley. There the foundations of Salt Lake
were laid, and there settlement was made
before San Francisco and Sacramento were
dreamed Of The Old Fort ought to be holy
SOIL to every son of Utah, and what would
ike Is to have it beautifully parked and
grand statue of BRIGHAM YOUNG raised in
Its centre, and on the pedestal of the statue

feated, as think and hope it will be. I

THE OLD FORT SQUARE.

HE HERALD never believed for moment
that he resolution to sell the Old Fort
square would be defeated in the council.
When Mr.. BACON put in his bid for that
block it was virtually settled that the ma
1orlty OF the council would accept, and do
their utmost to despoil the people. A gang
OF men who will vote away million dollars
OF the peoples money in one year and i'm
pudently chuckle when the taxpayers pro
test against the waste and extray-
agauce; officials who will be so
reckless in their administration as
to destroy the corporations credit
In one short year, and drive the city
bonds-heretofore the best and most sought
for security in the country-way below par,
may be safely counted upon to sell anything
belonging to the corporation which promises
more money to squander.
The aim of THE HERALD in opposing the
alienation of the square was not to defeat
the proposition In the council, but to expose
the viciousness of the scheme, and to show
now defiant OF the taxpayers and their
rights the present council is. We are glad
that there are four members of the body
who have higher regard for the law and
Tor the peoples wishes than for the f1attery
OF irresponsible boomers Those four stand
higher to-day in the esteem of the bona ide
citizens Of Salt Lake than they have ever
before stood.
AS to the square itself, we are confident
That in spite of the action of the council,
the title will continue with the people, who
will be enjoying that block centuries after
Inc ten councilmen have passed into OBJ
security and their names been forgotten.
Ihere are courts which have greater
authority than the council, and we believe
they will stand between the people and
this contemplated job. Furthermore, we
don't believe that Mr.. BACON can raise a
dollar on the strength of the resolution,
which at best means that some future city
government may convey to him shady
title to half million dollars worth of
realty for Sl5O,OOO. Capitalists will hardly
bite at hook so clumsily balted. 1t has
been apparent for some months past, the |
booming assertions to the contrary not |
that Mr.. BACON was unable |
to induce anybody to invest IN the railway |
project, and it may be doubted that he will |
succeed any better now.
We are not in the least degree alarmed |
over the final outcome of the proposition to |
take from the people the Old FORT square.
