In addition to the above Mr. McLachlin
has prepared a statement in regard to an
assertion made in local paper that he is
an applicant in a Boston teachers agency
for another position. and that he applied
for the supervisOrship at Natck, Mass. In
this statement it is shown that it is com
mon and usual thing for teachers of the
first rank to keep themselves informed
as to vacancies and openings through the
medium of teachers agencies, which are
established for this purpose, and evidence
is produced which appears to show con-
clusively that Mr.. McLachlin has never
been contestant for the supervisorship of
Natick.

THE SCHOOL BONDS.

THE HERALD again reminds the good
people of this city that on the 18th instant
they viii be called upon to vote upon the
proposition TO issue bonds TO the amount of
100000, the money to be used for school
purposes. These bonds will run ten and
twenty years. and will bear interest at the
rate Of per cent. per anuum. The con-
servatism and the economic ideas of the
majority OF the people are such that some
nervousness has been occasioned by the
action of the school board in asking so
much money in one year. Some have ex-
pressed fear that it is reckiessness to
spend such sum, and the question has
been asked, what is the occasion for this
sudden squirt in the erection of school
houses. This has been explained so many
times that IL is hardly worth while to go
over the matter again. We may say briefly,
however, that the city is in deplorable
condition in the matter of school facilities.
There are not half enough school houses to
accommodate the children of school age,
and many of the buildings are lacking in
most of the essentials of modern school
houses. The city is paying rent for several
the uses TO which they are put. There is
not a school house in town which
is not overcrowded, and in many instances
children are compelled to go long distances
from home in order to find any sort of &C
commodations. These facts should be suf-
icient to induce every property-owner
and every well-wisher of the community to
vote for the bonds.
We do not think there should be alarm
concerning the debt The aggregate is but
a small percentage of the property of the
city, and the proportion falling to each tax
payer will be so small as to scarcely be
felt. Furthermore, only portion of the
money will be expended this year. 1t is
probable that the whole will not be ex-
haasted for two or three years. We do
not think the school board is disposed to
extravaganza, or that it will spend the
money recklessly or faster than the
actual necessities require. We are
confident that economy will govern
the board in its appropriations, the
demands of the growing population for
schools and the conservatism of the com
in the matter of public debt being
always in mind.
The HERALD is heartily in favor of this
building proposition, and it hopes there
will be cast no negative votes. We be-
vested for the very best good of the people
of Salt Lake, and that every dollar spent
for education will return high interest.

EX-CoNGREssMAN CUTCHEoN, of Michigan,
is out in opposition to the new law of that
state for the choosing of Presidential
electors. He declares the law is uncon-
stitutional, and suggests an appeal TO the
courts to test the question. Inasmuch as
Mr.. CUTCHEoN is Republican, and the
new act will enable the Democrats to elect
at least half of the electors, the contention
of the gentleman is natural and to be ex-
pected. Fortunately the federal constitu-
tion settles the matter, when it declares
that Each state shall appoint a number of
electors equalato the whole number of
Senators and Representatives in
such manner as the legislature thereof may
direct" The late legislature directed how
the electors should be chosen, namely: by
congressional districts as to all save two,
and as to these latter, they are to be
chosen one each by the voters of two
districts into which the state has been
divided. The language of the constitution
is so plain, and the action of the legislature
in such harmony with it, that only an i'm
pudent Republican who is not disposed,to
permit law to stand in the way of the
achievement of an end, would ever think
of raising the question that Mr.. CUTCHEoN
has brought up.

IMMIGRATION AND THE TARIFF.

The treasury department seems to be in
earnest in the matter of the enforcement of
the recently enacted law for the restriction
of immigration. Assistant Secretary NET
TLEToN has formulated rules for the gov
eminent of treasury officials at ports of
entry and for the guidance of steamship
companies, and has even gone so far as to
order the return, at the expense of the
steamship companies fetching them over,
Of two Italian and one Swedish immigrants
who have become paupers since their arri-
val here. These efforts of government Off
Gals to hedge out an undesirable class of
people who are not merely nuisance in a
general way, but are actually threatening
the peace and good order Of the country,
are all very well, so far as they
go, and will be heartily approved
by good citizens whether of native or
foreign birth. But do the measures adopted
go far enough! Do our laws cover suffi-
cient ground to protect US from the evil.
These are questions which future Con-
crosses will be called upon to answer, and
the answer may involve radical change
in other laws than those relating to immi-
grafton. In the June number of the Forum,
Congressman WILLIAM McADoo, of Few
Jersey, discusses the problem from a new
standpoint, the title Of his paper being
s.Immigration and the Tariff" Mr. Nc
ADoo is what is termed protection Dem
ocrat." That is to say, he stands upon
the platform occupied by the late Hon.
SAMUEL j. RANDALL, who believed in and
taught the principle of protecting" Amer
lean labor to certain extent, hence the
Congressman's Forum article is peculiarly
as showing how, in the opinion
of statesman who believes in that sort of
thing, the protection which our high tariff
laws affords, affects the working classes.
Mr.. McADoo wants immigration, as do all
Americans who are in full
sympathy with the theory of the govern
ment and understand why and how the re-
public was founded; but it is the indiscrim-
mate immigration to which the Congress
man objects. He gives us picture of the
foreigner who will ever be welcome:

PROTECTION TwADDLE.

II tariff for revenue had been the rule from
the first. we should now be importing our steel
rails, our carpets our cotton and our wooden
goods.-TTiJUEe.
OF course the organ does not deign to
offer any proof in support of this remarka-
BILE theory that the American people would
siderate Congress had not taxed them till
they were finally able to get living out of
this favored country.
However, taking the items mentioned py
our Republican neighbor, we first beg to
remin it that short time ago, it published
a statement made by labor commissioner
WRIGHT showing that the total labor
cost in ton of steel rails
does not amount to one seventh
of the duty on ton Of steel rails, and that
the difference in the cost of steel rails here
and abroad is less than half the tariff tax
on each ton. When, therefore. an organ
seeks to justify the present outrageous tax
on steel rails on the theory that somewhere
or sometime in the past, not mentioning
where or when, some kind of q tax was
necessary, it should receive only the con-
tempt Of busy men. The organ knows that
the price Of steel rails abroad has been from
SIP to $50 per ton lower than it was here
for many years. while within the last few
years only, and when the demand was not
active or the market was overstocked. the
price here has occasionally fallen to the
foreign level. This has not often happened.
and as soon as the demand became brisk
again, the price Of steel rails was again ad-
vanced almost or quite up to the protection

Our imports of woolsn goods in 1889
smou nted to So, 0OO, 900, while our exports

has been shown to be direct result of the
protection of wool by which the price of
foreign wool is advanced and that of our
own, on an average, depressed.
With cotton manufacture the case ia
quite different, chiefly because our manu-
facturers get the raw material, cotton. as
cheaply as other countries get it. Al

IL THE Massachusetts legislature the
Republicans are divided into two factions
over the question of redistricting the state
for Congressman. One faction, and it seems
to be the more numerous, is bent on reck,,
less and outrageous gerrymander, by which
the Democrats would be almost deprived of
representation in the next Congress. The
other faction has not yet sunk SO low in
partisanship as to lose all respect for de-
cency and fairness, and proposes an ar
rangement which will deprive the Demo
Gratis of only two Of the Representatives
to which they would be entitled according
to their votes. AT last accounts the semi
honest Republicans had combined with the
Democrats to defeat the thoroughly dis
honest Republicans, and there was fair
hope of the combination being successful
Meantime. the Democratic governor sits
back with veto which the advocates of
the gerrymander cannot overcome.

Ross will probably be the man to be ar
rested on this warrant. Ross is taller than
sullivan, and as Sullivan says the man
who assaulted him was bigger man than
he, Ross may be the guilty party
Todd, one of the Sullivan guards at the
King county mines, was telegraphed to-
day by Sullivan to give the number of
Ross gun. Todd wired that he had no
record of it, and Sullivan has wired
the Portland office of his detec-
tive agency for the information,
which will be used to compare
with the numbers on the big 45-calibre
Colt revolver found on the sidewalk after
the assault upon Sullivan. and which, he
SAYS. his assailant attacked him with.
Mckay, who assisted in the abduction of
Messrs. Bailey and r. B. Al1ertson, has
been sent for TO identify the revolver, he
having been in charge of the camp in
which Ross was at the mines.

Port Ludlow Marine News.

PORT LUDLOW, Oct. Especial. THE
bark Sycamore and the schooner Jennie
Stella arrived from San Francisco today.
The Sycamore bore evidence of a rough
passage, and this was verified by Captain
Moore, who reports having met with
strong winds and heavy seas during nearly
all of the twenty-seven days that she was
out on the trip. When ten days out from
San Francisco the Sycamore was struck
with a gale from the southwest, which
shattered her foremast and carried
away her mainsail, maintopsail and
one of her jibs. Captain Moore
very ingeniously iished his foremast with
his mizzen-topmast. which enabled him to
carry a foresail, but he found it difficult at
times to keep out of the trough of the sea,
and was obliged to use oil bags to keep the
sea from breaking over. The Sycamore
will be repaired at Ludlow and load cargo
of lumber and piles for San Francisco.
The Jennie Stella will take cargo of lum-
ber to Ventura, Cal.
The bark Carondolet sailed for San
Francisco yesterday with cargo of lum-
Der and piles.

STATE LUMBERMEN,s ASSOCIATION.
Millmen Will Meet at Tacoma to Per-

men who met here yesterday to prepare
plans for securing Washington lumber for
the state exhibit building at the Column
bian Worlds fair, today decided to meet
at Seattle within thirty days for the pur-
pose of perfecting an organization of the
State Lumbermen's ASSOCIATION. Frank
B. Cole, secretary of the preliminary or
ganization, said this afternoon to a cor
respondent of the PosT-INTELLIGENcER:
Every large lumber district in the East has a
lumberman's association. The object of our
association will be to secure standard sizes in
dressing lumber by organized efforts: attempt
to secure desirable freight rates, and the like.
At present there are no standard sizes in dress
ing lumb Der and much Inconvenience results. For
instance, one mill may dress flooring certain
length, while another mill puts it on at another
length. The grooves and tongues on such floor
ing may also be at variance, and of course the
results are very costly in addition to being
troublesome, consumer cannot always Sc
cure all of his lumber from one mill.
The state association project will be dis
cussed at another meeting to be held on
Saturday in the Fife hotel in this city.

SUICIDE IN PORTLAND.
Benjamin 8. Yaeger, a Contractor, Sho OTIS
Himself Through the Head.

PORTLAND. Oct. 7.-[Special. BENJAMIN
S. Yaeger. German contractor, recently
from Houston, Tex, committed suicide in
East Portland this evening by shooting
himself through the head with H-caliber
pistol. Yaeger had been sick several days
and this afternoon when he went out for
walk he took pistol with him. He spent
the greater part of the afternoon in a
saloon, sitting in back room with his
face buried in his hands. About o'clock
he got up and walked out into a small
alley, where he fired the fatal shot.
From letters found on the person of
Yaeger it is seen that he is possessed of
considerable property at Houston, Tex,
also that he was at one time in business at
Goshen, Utah. Dependency, superin-
duced by failing health and business re-
verses, is believed to be the cause Of sui
