1t will be seen that we have placed all the
really doubtful states, save one, in the Re-
publican column, these being Idaho, Michi-
gen and Wisconsin, with total electoral
vote of 20. Michigan is to-day under a
Democratic government, like Wisconsin,
and a little good work will fetch Idaho
into line, as the people up there are daily
growing more Disguised with the Republi-
can bossism which leaves nothing to the
voters. The doubtful state which has
been classed as Democratic is Connecticut,
which usually follows New York in Presi-
Dental elections. But the Democrats can
lose Connecticut next year and still win,
even without any of the 90 votes which we
have indicated as doubtful
The outlook was never brighter for the
Democracy. There is only one thing to
fear, and that is that a mistake will be
made in the nomination. The right kind
of a man will get Sc majority in the cleo
toral college.

thoughts C'real allegiance"), and his
thoughts are to be judged by what some
body said forty years SGD!
The Mormon citizens beg the privilege
and right to be dealt with for their actions
only, at the same time expressly and en-
phatically disclaiming that there is any
thing in their religion or rites of worship,
baptism, marriage. endowment, or any
other that Is calculated to or actually does
encourage hostility to this government;
the president and apostles of the church
IN fmperio contemplated or urged by church
doctrine; and the united testimony of the
whole people is to the same effect.
But some vague ad ssions of apostates
from the church, AMI the vile clamor OF
certain minority politicians, are held to
prove that, though the life and actions OF
the average Mormon are unobjectionable,
yet his thoughts are criminal, inasmuch
as his real allegiance" is with his church
the proof being that the Mormons vote
against those who are trying to disfran
chlse them. Ostensibly, they swear ale
glance just like other people, but their
real allegiance" that something which
makes them vote solidly against the Tribune
editor when he runs for Office, that ''per-
nlclous notion" of theirs is the crime for
which they should be disfranchised, out
lawed, prevented from acquiring proper ty
voting, serving as jurors, etc.
Such is the reasoning and such the
reasons for it; while those who urge it are
the individuals who expect to revel in the
spells of Office and other plumber if the
crime shall ever be consummated

CLAGETT Is LEFT.

Mr.. WILLIAM H. CLAGETT, the gentleman
who thought he had been chosen a United
States Senator from the young state of
Idaho, finds himself in a decidedly awk-
ward predicament. The certificate of cleo
ticn which he expected to file with the sec
rotary of the Senate and upon which he
hoped to contest the seat with Mr.. FRED
DUBOIS has been denied him, and now the
only evidence of his election which he will
be able to present is his word that twenty
eight members of the assembly, constitut-
ing more than majority of the body, voted
for him. We take it that his word will
not count for much in the face of the duly
signed credentials which Mr. DUBOIS has
already placed with the secretary, and
which declare in regular form that the gen.
tleman was duly chosen a Senator for the
term which MIR. CLAGETT claims is his. At
no time was there any likelihood that
the ambitious Mr.. CLAGETT would be given
more than disinterested hearing; now it
does not seem probable that his idle claim
will be dignified by a reference to the com
mittee on elections, for he can make no bet
ter showing for the seat than could any ad-
venturer who might go to Washington and
declare that he was entitled TO Senator
ship because somebody in some state had
voted for him.
THE HERALD's only regret in this bust
ness is that some Democrats permitted
themselves to be used by CLAGETT, who is
quite as rabid a Republican as Mr.. DUBOIS
is, and as little entitled to Democratic sup
port. How those Democrats who voted for
CLAGETT will be able to reconcile their con-
duct with their profession of political prin-
ciples we are unable to comprehend. We
are inclined to think that their day of use
fulness in Idaho politics has gone.

Savannah next surrendered, December 81,
1864. After arranging for the placing of
the freedmen on the Sea Islands, he COM
menced, January Is, 1865, his invasion of
the Carolinas, being about six weeks in
passing through South Carolina, where he
desolated belt of fifty miles in width
where his army passed. He fought two
battles in North Carolina, March 16 and
1921, 1865, occupied Goldsboro', March %,
and having given his army few weeks
rest, captured Raleigh, April Ii, and ne
gotiated with General JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON
terms of surrender of all the Confederate
forces in the field. These terms were pro-
nounced inadmissible by the federal
government, and General SHERMAN, under
General GRANTS instructions, demanded
and received General JoHNsToN's sur
render, April 26, 1865. Marching his troops
to Richmond and Washington, they were
then mustered out. General SHERMAN had
been made major general in the United
States army, August II, 1864, for his
Atlanta campaign, and after the close of
the war continued in command of the
military division of the Mississippi for more
than year. On July 25, 1866, General
GRANT having been promoted to be general
of the army, General SHERMAN was ad
vanced to that of lieutenant general. and
assigned to the command of the military
division of the Missouri In March. 1869,
General GRANT having resigned the general
ship, in consequence of his election as
President, SHERMAN was promoted to the
vacant rank, which he filled with great
ability until few years ago when he was
retired under the law by reason of his age.
After his retirement he went to New York
to reside where he was the centre of a
social circle including many of the fore
most people of the metropolis.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The Mobile Register wants to know why
the public school attendance of the west
stood still and that of the North Atlantic
states decreased in recent years as shown
by the official figures of the bureau of
education.
In the North Atlantic states, where q
per cent. Of the population was enrolled in
the schools in 1870, only IS per cent is now
enrolled, and in the north central states
where "a % per cent. were pupils in 1870,
only % as are now. In the meantime the
south advanced from school enrolment OF
6.3 per cent. 1910 to 1S.7 per cent. in 1890
The western states during the last ten
years have remained at the 1615 per cent
enrolment. The schooling of the negro is
set down rs the principal cause OF increase
but minority of the people can by nc
means cover the difference between 60 and
ISL per cent. The fact is that there is a
large Increase in the school attendance OF
both white and black. The bureau of edu
cation attributes the decrease in the school
enrolment of northern states to multiplied
tlon OF private and parochial schools. This
may partially explain the decrease, but not
entirely. The fact is that there
has been a large immigration OF
foreigners into the north and west
during the past ten years, and
sufficient eXertions have not been made to
get their children to come to the public
schools. At these schools they are thrown
with American boys and girls and cease to
be German, Irish, Italian and other ma
tionalities, while becoming American chill
eren. The public school is the best pos
si0leFplace in which to assimilate foreign
natlonalities with the body polite. The
south has reason to look upon these educa-
tional figures with great satisfaction
They show that her people have, in the
midst Of their efforts to attain material
prosperity, kept ever in view tie advan-
tages to be derived from education. They
have strained every nerve to advance free
education, and have cheerfully borne taxa
ton for that purpose. These figures also
show that the white people of the south
have done much for the education of the
negro during the past ten years. If the
negro had been left to himself to work ou'
his education, nothing would have beer
done. AS it is, the whites of the south
have paid thousands of dollars to give the
race free public schools.
The immensely increased school attend
ance in this territory, due to the passage o.
the free school law, must soon place Utaf
In the foremost rank in regard to education
and school attendance. Detailed statistic.
are not yet obtainable, but personal OBJ
servation testifies TO the rapid educationa
progress we are now making.

M'hINLEY'S PARADOX.

Mr.. MCKINLEY avowed in his latest
speech that the American people
''scorn cheap coats" if they must
be had by reduction Of the tariff.
but that sugar, an article Of prime neces-
sity to every household, should come uu-
taxed to the American people"
Mr.. MCKINLEY evidently fancies that
sugar is more of a necessity than coats
but even If that were true, does it follow
that the American people should be per.
mitted only to get bare necessities9 1t
would be difficult to show that a man
should be content with s. day when he
could earn s., If the government did not
interfere.
There must be no talk that people should
be content with being permitted to earn
bare living, for the American mind is
thoroughly imbued with the idea that 8
man is entitled to all be can earn: and the
suggestion that ne must be content with
such part of his earnings as the govern.
ment sees fit to permit HIM to have is Ut
terly intolerabie to the average American
Besides, if free sugar is a good thing fo1
US, why not free coats also Is there
greater Danger Oh our wearing too fine
a coat, or too many of them, than there is
Of cur eating too much sugar. Mr. Nc
KINLEY's argument viii be laughed down
In showing that cheap sugar is blessing
he inadvertently shows that cheap coats
would be not less beneficial
The fact is that Mr.. MCKINLEY knows
that he cannot delude his constituents
much longer on the sugar question, fol
some of the tax has been removed from
sugar; and as soon as that part of the law
goes into effect every workingman will
discover that his days labor will purchase
third more sugar than it did while the
high sugar tax existed. No sophistry car
ever explain away this palpable fact, a.
Mr.. MCKINLEY knows only too well; hence
he champions free sugar but affects to de
ride cheap coats.
He preDends to believe that if we could
buy cheap coats our wages would go down
and at the same time he asserts that if We
could buy cheap sugar our wages would gt
up. Curious paradox! Why does ht
promulgate such nonsensel Simply be-
cause he knows that the benefits of cheal
sugar are to be given trial, which means
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-02-15

that they will at once be apparent in the
increased purchasing power of every
mans labor as compared with sugar 1t
will be no longer possible to fool the wage
Garner in regard to sugar Obviously,
then, the course of wisdom on the part of
MR.. MCKINLEY will be to admit the bene-
hts of cheap sugar while denying the bene-
fits of cheap coats
Heretofore, bushel of wheat would buy
only from six to ten pounds of sugar; here
after, it will buy from twelve to twenty
pounds. No talk about ''pauper labor'' will
ever affect that eloquent fact. The farmer
may believe all sorts of other absurdities
but when once the purchasing power of a
pushel of wheat has thus been brought
nome to him, he will never again be delud-
ed into thinking cheap sugar lowers his
wages.
But Mr.. Mckinley and his brother pro-
tectlonists have deep and abiding faith
IN the stupidity of Republican wage earn
ers, and expect them to believe that what
Is an unalloyed blessing in the shape of
cheap sugar would be an uamitigated curse
IN the shape of cheap coats. Will they
succeed IN deluding their dupes in the face
OF this grotesque paradox of coats and
sugar. Certainly they will, in nine out of
ten cases. But the tenth man will see
through the game and will refuse to be
heeced with his own consent and approval.
1t Is to catch this tenth man that tariff re-
formers explain and labor; as the others
would vote for the Republican party
though it should STAY them
And there is nothing in history more
touching, apart from its sheer absurdity,
than the wall of the pauperized farmers in
defense of the party that is destroying
them. But were it not that this slow
starvation brings some of them to their
senses, then the friends of reform woulc
surely lose all faith in human intelligence
and abandon supposed government of the
people to the unmolested, undisputed sway
OF plutocrats and their political agents

A JOURNALISTIC THIEF.

That hoary- headed and rascally old jour
nallstic sinner, the Tribune, having per-
manently established it's reputation as
liar, has evidently set out to build up an
equally firm and lasting reputation as q
thief. The title, "Giant of the Rockies"
Is as well known throughout the west as
belonging to THE SALT LAKE HERALD, as
Monarch of the Dailies" is as belonging to
the San Francisco Examiner; it was
friendly nickname bestowed when this
paper enlarged to its present form in
March, 1SS9-a form followed in time not
only by the Tribune, but by each Of the Salt
Lake papers. But we have no quarrel with
them for that The nickname was adopted
by The HERALD as a trade mark, placed
in all its eastern and local advertisements,
and was as much its property as though it
were protected by copyright. 1t has come
to be so well known as applying to The
HERALD, that many letters come to the Salt
Lake postoffice addressed simply ''Giant of
the Rockies" and the postal clerks forward
them to The HERALD without question
The Tribune has deliberately stolen the
title and affixed it to its eastern advertise
ments, confession of a paucity of ideas
and an envy of soul exactly in line with the
high moral reputation which the butcher
and grocer-defying genius who presides
over the sheet enjoys in the community
AS imitation is the sincerest form of fat
terry, it might be urged that THE HERALD
should make no objection to this bold theft
of its trademark, but to have the same title
applied to US that is used by the Tribune,
is little too much to endure, and the fact
that the title was unblushingly thieved
from US does not make the humiliati on and
evaporation any less grievous to bear
Let US hear no more about the theft of
special dispatches by evening papers.

NEXT YEAR.

The congressional apportionment bill
having been passed and received the Presi-
dental approval, one may, with reason
able degree of certainty, ''guess" as to the
outcome of the national election next year.
There are certain states which may be
definitely assigned, it being known to-day
as well as it will be known on the morning
after the election, for which party's candi
dates the electoral vote will be given. The
indications are that the doubtful states will
be fewer in number, and they will be
made up almost entirely of states which
have heretofore been Republican, as
Iowa, which now has Democratic COVER
nor; Wisconsin, which not only has Dem
ocratic governor buta legislature which is
overwhelmingly Democratic; Kansas,
which is under the control of the Farmers
Alliance, an organization more opposed to

A RICH and racy item from the United
States attorney in the dignifed stealing OF
Mormon church property by this great
government, informs an expectant public
that the expenses" of stealing the prop
erty so far as the theft has been consum-
mated, that is, the fees of the lawyers and
others, amount to the neat sum of S54, =
924.S6. or about II per cent. of the prop.
erty thus far stolen.
This property was to be stolen and then
given to the schools of the territory, but
not much of it will ever reach its destina
ton; and the part that does will do sc
guiltily, causing every free man whose
children are being educated ont of the pro-
ceeds of stolen property to blush for the
shame of it.
