If you will ask about forty re-
publicans why they voted the
straight democratic ticket, and you
expect reasonable answer, you will
be disappointed. The fact is, it
was suggested by some one' and
they yielded, just like some people
commit a wrong under hypnotic
influence, and can never afterwards
account for it. Any fool can sug-
gest, and often wise men cannot
resist.

PUBLIC SQUARES.

A mean attempt to defend the sale of
Pioneer block has lately been made, on the
ground that former city councils disposed
of similar square to the University, and
Of another for the purpose of holding an
annual territorial fair thereon.
The difference lies in this, that in these
two cases the squares were virtually turned
over to public use, while in the case of Pho
neer square it is proposed forever to pre-
vent public use Of this piece Of public prop
erty.
The University is the territorial institu-
ton for higher education, and one of the
conditions on which the square was given
to the University was that the grounds
should be improved and made accessible to
the public. This is being done as fast as
the institution can afford to do 1T; and no
one can fairly say that such a use of the
square is not an eminently proper and ju-
dicious public service.
The same is true of the Tenth ward
square. Besides being very suitable
place for the erection of the exposition
buildings, it is the intention to have that
square laid out as sort of park as well.
We know Of no public uses to which either
of these squares could have been put that
would have been more appropriate or sat
isfactory to the people of this city.
While on this subject we may observe
that it would be as well if the identifying
of these squares could go on a little faster.
The University square is already an at
tractive place, with its fine large trees, but
the exposition square is mere desert in
this respect. The work of laying out those
grounds and of planting the trees should
begin at once. Trees take time to grow /;
buildings may be erected at short notice.
The exposition grounds should be improved
and beautifed at once.
By a wholly incomprehensible blunder,
however, one-half of the exposition
grounds has been wholly cut off from
public view, by the erection of sheds
around one-half of the square This is a
singular misfortune to the public, as we'll
as real disfguration of the building,
which can be but partially seen on the east,
while the grounds cannot be seen at all
from that side.
Sections of the sheds should be remove d
and placed inside the remaining outer sec
tions, SO that the view around the eastern
half of the square will not be wholly cut off.
In few years the sheds ought to go alto
gether, the live stock exhibition being held
at the race track or at some other place
more suitable than at the grounds of the
exposition building.

player to desist they did so. Then, where
was the cause for arrest, especially after
Judge Laney's decision respecting the ar
rest on Thursday, that being on the march
no ordinance of the city had been violated2
The officers actions were most unjust and
uncalled for, and was nothing short of an
assault for which he deserves TO be prose-
cuted.
The Tribune's version also of Thursday
nights arrest was very misleading and un-
true, the reporter of which l notice by Sat
urday's issue, is willing to go on record as
believing there are those in the army who
would have to go to work or to jail were it
not for the army uniform. presume he
has reference to the officer in charge of the
army here. The reporter has equally as
good grounds for making the same state
ment respecting any minister of any church
in this city, that they would have to go to
work or to jail were it not for the broad
cloth. However, such misstatements and
insults are becoming to the Tribune. But all
that the Salvation Army ask is that they
be allowed the same privilege as others.
Did not the labor organizations, about two
weeks ago, parade on the sidewalks on
Main street four abreast, with band of from

while the streets have been 30 coated with
nude They prefer to walk on the street
when able, but until then they love their
rights as does every American citizen"

THE UNION PACIFIC MORTGAGE.

In what other age would mortgage for
$3.50, 100000 be dreamed off What other
man than JAY GOULD, in this or any other
age, would dream of such a mortgages The
VANDERBILTs, the AsToRs, the Rorus
CHILDs themselves would stagger at the
suggestion, and yet that little sickly man
who, few years ago, was peddling mouse
traps for living not only envolves the
scheme, but presents it as if it were an
every day affair, and we believe he will
carry it out. If the thing can be done, he
can do it, and he is, the only man who
treads the earth who can do it.
Owe also believe the carrying of this
scheme into effect will be grand thing
for the Union Pacific railway company.
stone tied to the neck of that great
company and a curse to the country
traversed by the roads of the corporation.
From the first the impossibility of paying
that debt according to its terms has been
seen and the efforts of all the men who
have had control of the company have been
in the direction of making it impossible for
read. All these men have not been scoun-
drels; all were not swindlers and thieves
but all have tried to save their own, what
ever might become of the government. The
result has been the neglect of the main line.
the building of branches and feeders with
the money and credit of the company, and
in s1ch way as to leave these feeders free
from liability for the government debt; the
diversion of traffic from the main line and
the giving of credit to the branches for
work performed by the trunk The
consequence has been that branches have
paid handsomely while the main line
has run behind; the branches have been
well-equipped while the main line was in a
deplorable condition, and the Union Pacific,
occupying the best position of all the trans
continental roads, and naturally and neces-
sarily doing more business than any other
has been the worst managed of any, so far
as the public is concerned. We believe
there would be Improvement everywhere if
all the lines embraced in this vast system
could be brought under one control and
operated as the property of one corpora
ton. OF course this will never be done
until the government loan has been dis
posed of in some manner that it shall not
be menace to all the property of the
Union Pacific and allied corporations. II

FEDERATION.

A modern philosopher has said that in
the minds Of almost all religious persons,
even in the most tolerant countries, the
duty of liberation is admitted with tacit
reserves. One person will bear with dis
sent in matters of church government, but
not Of dogma; another can tolerate every
body, short of Papist or Unitarian; an
other, everybody who believes in revealed
religion; a few extend their charity little
further, but stop at the belief in God and
in the future state.
We have numerous illustrations of the
intolerance of men on matters of religion in
Utah. There are ministers of the gospel
that do not consider their honor sullied
when the leader Of political party consults
them and then the gamblers, in order to
ascertain how city should be conducted,
and induces them and their congregations
to vote, in the name of religion, for scot
fers and atheists. The ministers think
this is all right provided it brings some real
or fancied harm to the Mormons.
A iackass in the Idaho legislature de-
clared he could forgive any crime except
that of having once been Mormon; and
the other members seemed to agree with
him for they voted to disfranchise all per-
sons in the state who are or who have been
Mormons.
Other illustrations will suggest them
selves.

TRUSTS.

The growth of the trusts is somewhat
startling. The first of modern trusts to
attract widespread attention was the Stan
dard Oil trust, a combination formed among
several of the refiners of crude petroleum
in the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania in
1869. The second great trust to attract
general public attention was the American
Cotton Oil trust. These were followed by
combinations to limit the production and
increase the price of other staples, among
which the following articles may be men
toned: Sugar, oatmeal, pearl barley, co
straw board, castor oil, linseed oil, lard,
school states, oil cloth, whiskey, rubber,
steel, steel rails, steel and iron
beams, nails, wrought iron pipe,
iron nuts, stoves, lead, copper, envelopes,
paper bags, cordage, coke, binding and
moving machines, threshlng machines,
plows, glass, white lead, jute bagging, lum-
ber shingles, friction matches, beef, felt,
lead pencils, cartridge and cartridge shells,
watches and watch cases, wringers,
carpets, collins and undertakers' supplies,
dental tools, lager beer, wall paper, sand
stone, marble, milk. salt, patent leather,
flour and bread.
trust usually raises the price of the ar
ticle concerned. This diminlshes the de-
mand for it, and throws men out of en-
ployment in the production of the article.
The high prices enrich the capitalists at
the expense OF the public A trust is not
effective unless the supply of the article is
limited by artificial or natural means. The
supply of natural oil is limited by nature,
and the supply of all goods of which we
import a portion of what we use is limited
by law, when tariff Is placed on these ar
tices.
Any cause that limits the supply makes
the formation of trust possible within
that limit. In this country all effective
trusts except that on oil, owe their exist
ence to the tariff, which shuts out the for
elgn supply if the home article is SOLD just
tritle below the tariff raised price of the
foreign article.
The tariff of 81 cents on each pound of
sugar enables the sugar trust to charge 3
cents more a pound than the foreign price
OF sugar, and still undersell any importer
of sugar by half a cent pound The tariff
is the mother of trusts.

THE CLOSING down of the great Anaconda
works and the throwing Of 1900 men out
of employment will be seriously felt by
Butte and Anaconda, and by the railway
by reason of whose hoggishness this shut
down has occurred; but the stoppage will be
most severe on the miners themselves, be-
cause they are not in a financial condition
to lie idle until the mining company and the
railway company end their dispute and
come to terms. 1t seems to US that here is
an excellent opportunity for whipping the
railway. The Anaconda people can keep
their property closed indefinitely. They
are not dependent on the product for their
living, the profits from the mine going
merely to increase already colossal fortunes.
On the other hand the operation of the
railway Is dependent on the Anaconda, the
closing of which will make the running of
trains between Butte and the town nnprofit.

has the upper hand in this contest and hope
it will employ the advantage which it en-

In SENTENCING the footpad JAMES You've,
on Saturday, Chief Justice ZANE did the
community good service and showed that
he was ready to do his part to overthrow
the reign of terror under which our citizens
have lived for two years. You've "held
up'' two men in five minutes, within one
block OF the very centre of the city and
only block away from police headquarters.
He was desperate fellow and took
desperate chances, and Judge ZANE dealt
with him as such fellows should always be
dealt with; he sent him to the penitentiary
for eight years. If the police were more
vigilant it wouldn't be long before there
would come an end to sand bagging in the
streets Of Salt Lake. 1t wouldn't require
many such sentences to induce the foot
pads to give this city wide berth.
