Too Thin.

THE TELEGRAPH COURIER has be-
fore called attention to the state
ments of the Democratic press that
the United States treasury was vir-
tually bankrupt. No considerations
of patriotism or public credit have
had the slightest weight with the
free trade organs and they have
made use of every misrepresenta-
ton within their power to break
down the credit of the United States
among it's own citizens.
Last Friday the $51 900, 900 ~
bonds fell due and the government
has and will redeem every one
which may Rbe presented. There
has never been any real doubt as to
this action of the government and
the prolonged howl of the Demo
cratic press about bankrupt treas
ury was as dishonest as it was ma
licious. 1t was the result of a de-
liberate partisan conspiracy. To
day the utter falsity of the cry and
the contemplate motions of the
conspirators are alike exposed be-
fore the people.

Kenosha's Public Schools.

''Then the whining school boy with his satchel
And shining, morning face creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school,
Next Monday morning there will
be a whoop and hurrah in nine
tenths of Kenosha's homes. The
noise and racket and the nervous
inquiry as to the location of certain
necessary equipments will remind
one of breaking military camp for
an active field campaign.
The sidewalks of Kenosha will
resound to the clatter of hurrying
feet as troop after troop passes by.
It is the preparatory vancouver in
cident to the opening of our public
schools. The young people have
had their vacation and are all more
or less eager to again place them
selves within the influence of the
school room. There they will meet
old and form new acquaintance.
There they will attempt and master
new lessons. There they will lay
the foundation for whatever intelli-
gence shall characterize their after
lives in whatever sphere they move.
The free schools of this grand
country of ours which have an open
door for every boy and girl, Ameri-
can, Irish, German, or Scandinavian
whether rich or poor, promise
more to the perpetuity ofrepublican
government than anything else con-
nected with the government. Here
those who shall become voters and
as such shall in future dictate the
policy of government, are taught
the rudimentary branches of an
English education. Here their
minds are taught to think, to rea-
son, and to form conclusions, all of
which are necessary to make them
such citizens as may in future safely
discharge the duty of citizenship in
a free government.
In this sense every American
citizen has a common interest in the
education of every American child
1t is this principle which calls for
the compulsory education of the
children of those who fail to send
their children to our public schools
or educate them in some other way.
So important indeed has the pub
lie school become in this country
that everybodyis more than willing
to endure tue ounoyance IF young
America getting ready for school on
the opening day, and if necessary,

accoutrements they laid away and
have not seen since last June. Hail
to the opening of the public schools

cents a head was charged by the
officials Of North Carolina jail to
see two colored prisoners given
thirty-nine lashes on their bare
backs, and, if the newspaper &C
counts are to be believed, the gate
money was sufficient to pay all the
of the exhibition. We

IT Is claimed by those who favor the
outrageous and illegal proposition to sell
the Old Fort square, that Mr. BACON has
offered for the land all that it is worth and
more than it would fetch If put upon the
market to-day. We assert that the gentle
man who proposes to be both buyer and
seller in the transaction, hasn't offered 80
per cent. of the actual selling value of the
block, and we believe that if the title were
in him to- day he wouldn't take half mil
lion dollars for the square. There is a good
way to test this matter. The block north
and south of the square are worth neither
more nor less than the Old Fort block
they are owned by individuals, many of
whom have placed prices on their holdings
and the others have fixed in their own
minds the values of their possessions; ask
these private owners what they will take
for their property and thus learn whetht
or not the Old Fort square is worth more
than $50, 200.

IT MAY not be amiss to remind our morn

1t MAY not be amiss to remind our morn
ing contemporary, which has been berating
US for insisting that nothing short of an in
ternational agreement as to the ratio be-
tween gold and silver will solve the prob
lem, that Mr.. BLAINE agrees with US on
that proposition. In his letter &C
cepting the nomination for President in
1884, he told where he stood on the silver
question. 1.-THE one special requisite" he
said, ''for the completion of our monetary
system is the fixing of the relative values
of silver and gold" 1t might be thought
that with Mr.. CLEVELAND and Mr.. BLAINE
holding the view we expressed as to the
necessity for an international ratio, we
should be satisfied with the weight of au-
thority on our side; but we beg to add the
opinion of the st. Louis Globe Democrat
formerly the chief authority of our con-
temporary on the question. Like every
other man" it says, ''who has given inteli
gent thought to this question he saw that
nothing short of an international readjust
ment Of the ratio between the metals and
the opening of the minis of the leading
commercial nations of the world to silver
| would justify US in increasing our coinage
| of silver. Undoubtedly Mr.. BLAINE h olds
this ground still"

The PUBLIC might as well understand
that the Old Fort square will not cut the
slightest figure in the building of the pro-
posed Deep Creek railway. The construc-
ton of the road will not be FASTENED or de-
layed day whether the square be given to
the promoters or retained by the city. The
men who intend to put up millions for the
road, if there be such men, will not abandon
the enterprise because the city does not
make them princely gift They will go
into the road with the expectation OF max
ing money out of it, and they will under
stand that if the line will not pay without
that particular square it will not pay with
it. 1t is a piece of demagogy that is being
practiced in trying to induce the people to
believe that the building of the Deep Greek
road is dependent on the giving away OF
the Old Fort square.

House trust will not be to enact laws but to
repeal them. 1t is the back track that we want
to take For quarter of century you have
loaded the Statute books with these vicious
measures, until you have begotten in the minds
OF multitude of honest people demand that
the government shall step in and compete with
the monsters you have created by congressional
action.
We are not willing those OF US who believe
In JefferSonian principles and in constitutional
government-we are not willing to embark on
the dangerous experiment OF fighting the colos-
sal trusts and combinations of this land by
making the government an active participant in
competing with them. We are willing only that
the government shall be an umpire to see fair
play between the great body of honest. rugged
American manhood and those who would do
them wrong. And if the voice Of wisdom pre-
walls in Democratic councils, it will not be for
enactment of experimental laws looking to-
wards state socialism; it will not be for enact
ments by which the government may enter into
active competition with the trusts and combina-
tons, but its injunction will be: Repeal! re-
peal repeal. Take the load off the American
people and they will do the rest themselves
'When that day arrives" if if it ever
should arrive before the millennium, when

bounties?'
Let the people once understand the essence
of this question and the whole of the
blurred maze of sophistry that defends
protection" simply by hiding it, will van
ish before the light of truth and justice
like mist before the monday sun.

THE DYING effort of the Liberia boomers

THE DYING effort of the Liberal boomers
to enhance values that Liberal methods of
taxation, extravaganza and incompetency
aave greatly deprecated, is now taking a
peculiarly venomous and greatly mis- taking
turn. The young and immature real es-
tate organ calls Messrs. HALL and PICKARD
negative men, because they are unwilling
to sacratice public square for the good of
a private Spectator. 1t further insinuates
that a negative man Likes cow pasture
better than a railroad depot" and sis the
bane of live community like Salt Lake -
Turning the Old Fort block into railroad
depot, even if that doubtful result should
follow the sale of the block. is very uncer-
tain method of booming this city. If build
ing the Deep Creek road depends upon get
ting that block at low price, the proposed
builder is not the man 10 undertake the
job and will probably fail.

gate, to $50 per month for each saloon $3.50 for
the eleven, and a grand total of 5000 per
annum.
The profits of the saloon business are neces-
sarily large. They have been estimated at 200
per cent. the original cost of the article The
saloon sales, amounting to Si26, 00O would there
fore yield a profit of SIS. 1888 3331s Subtracting
from this sum the saloon expenses, amounting
to $50 42o, leaves net profit Of S33, 9l3 335 The
profits of the wholesale liquor business are not
so large. They have been estimated at so per
cent The total drug store sales of liquor were
estimated at $500. The profit on this amount
at 50per cent would be s., $685.. Subtracting
| from this the Appropriated expense, amount
ing to 81 $40, leaves net profit OF 1913 1915. Add
ing this to the saloon profit of S33 913. 1875, we
have net profit on Provo's whisky business of
S34. S266SS.
This increase in the liquor traffic in a
city, where five years ago it was all but
prohibited, is sad indeed. The one fact
that eleven saloons are supported in that
town of less than 5000 Inhabitants and
that S135, 900 per annum is expended in in
toxicants tells how rapidly hitherto tenn
perate people are fast becoming intern
perate.
tits not alone in Provo, either, that this
saloon business is increasing; but through
out the territory, in every county, it is
growing with alarming rapidity, and some
thing must be done to check it. We pre-
sumo that If prohibition were practicable at
all, there is no community in the union
that would more readily adopt it than
ours; butt is not practicable: we doubt that
it is possible. Recognizing that as fact,
proven by the experience of many efforts
throughout the country, in Utah we have
adopted the plan of high license. This, il
it has not amounted to prohibition, has al
least kept many disreputable people from
going into the business, and has
made saloons more respectable-as
responsibility goes. There is one more
thing which we think is practicable and
right, and that is the adoption by our next
legislature of local option law Let law
be enacted that shall require vote Of
voters in any given district before saloor
can be established in said district Let the
high license continue as it now is, and pro
vide that no saloon shall be opened withir
given distance of any church or school
house. With a law embodying these re
strictive measures, it will not be difficult tt
very much reduce the liquor traffic. 1t will
relegate the question of saloon or no saloor
to the people of each neighborhood, instead
of leaving the people, as now, at the mercy
of the county court in respect to this mat
ter.
The subject should be discussed through
out the territory, and made a question il
the election of members to the next legisla
ture. Let US have legislature pledged tt
this principle, that all may be done that cal
be done legitimately to keep the saloons al
few as possible in Utah.

AT THE close Of the year 1880, according
to the tenth census, the total debt per cap
tia of population in Utah was 81 cents, this
being less than the per capita debt of any
state in the union, and less than that of any
other territory except New Mexico, whose
tia debt of Idaho at that time was S7.22; OF
Washington territory, 1913; of Wyoming.
S9.SS; of Montana. S19.41 of Arizona, 50. 81,
and of Dakota, $3.50. The lowest per cap

and the highest that of Rhode Island,

new census are awaited with interest.

FOOLISH LEGISLATION.

The Farmers Alliance Legislature Of
Kansas is repeating the follies of the gran
ger legislatures of few years ago. A few
years ago the people of Kansas were eager
for railroads. They couldn't get enough
of them. Railroad builders were looked
upon as public benefactors and they were
courted and encouraged by everybody,
until the great state was gridironed with
tracks and the resources were developed"
Then it occurred that the railways were
mighty oppressors of the people who were
being plundered by the soulless corpora
tons. The railroads were looked upon as
infections and their owners and managers
as little less than fends. For several years
war has been waged upon railways, and
the growth of the Alliance which is now in
power may be largely attributed to the be-
lief among the farmers that If the
agricultural class could once gain control
the grasping corporations could be brought
to terms II is probable that every mem
Der of the legislature was pledged before
the election to attack the railroads, and
every Alliance man went to the capital
with the idea that his first duty to his
most to clip the wings of the heartless
monopolies. Numerous bills with that
object in view were early introduced, and
out of them all two have been evolved and
passed. One limits the maximum charge
for carrying passengers at 215 cents per
mile and the other fixes the freight rates
at about 20 per cent. below what they are
at present. 1t is said that the pas
senger rates to-day vary in different parts
of the state and according to the
distance Travelled from 2 to cents per
mile, while freight charges are generally
somewhat lower than in other western
states.
OF course the action of the legislature
will not stand. 1t mas repeatedly been held
by the courts that while legislatures have
the right to regulate the charges of common
carriers they cannot reduce the charges
below the point at which they will be
profitable to the carrier. 1t will be an ex-
ceptionable road which cannot show that il
would lose money and drift into bank
ruptcy were it to confine itself to the rates
fixed in the new statutes; and in mos,
instances the showing would be an honest
one, for at present rates there are only two
or three Kansas railways which are paying
dividends on the capital stock. The courts
will say that the railways must be paid fol
their services and reasonable interest on
the money invested, when the legislation
will come to naught and the farmers viii
blame both the courts and the railways
and perhaps if the agriculturists can hang
together long enough they will attempt
and achieve more 5urlesque legislation il
the name of reform.
