SCANDAL NO. g."

The New York World celebrates the
death Of the late Congress by publishing a
detailed account of some of the scandals
which have resulted from the two sessions.
Fifteen Of these scandals are mentioned in
one issue of the paper named. and every
body in this region is interested in mo. 90
which comes under the heading, 'Making
States Of Mining Camps to Perpetuate
Power" OF course we all understand
that this refers to the admission of Wy
oming and Idaho, both of which were
erected into states, not because they were
better entitled to statehood than other ter
ritories, but because they could be made
Republican in politics, could furnish to the
party four Senators and two Representa-
lives, and increase the Republican vote in
the electoral college six. The story has
been told many times, but is always inter
esting, and is especially SO as the World
relates it. Read it here, and then wonder
how any man can claim to be honest and a
Republican at the same time:
When the Fifty-frst Congress assembled,
four territories knocked for admission to the
union. They were Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho
and Wyoming The two former were Demo
cratic and the two latter Republican Their
respective populations may be judged from the
following table:

denied them the right of free
speech, passed cumbrous and
iniquitous tariff measure without per-
hitting its sections to be debated. and then
attempted, in the face of the verdict of
million votes against them, to intrench
themselves in power, in spite of the peo-
pie. Afraid to debate, rejected by their
own constituents, repudiated by the voice
of the country at large, they even then at
tempted the grossest outrage known to the
black record of political crimes-the prac-
tical disfranchisement of great numbers of
their political opponents because the latter
had the audacity to outnumber them.
In this they failed, not because Of any
laxity In the tyranny of their machine or
in the rulings of the speaker, but because
few western Senators revolted at the
glaring iniquity of their party and at the
last moment refused to sustain the con-
templated outrage
That the speaker should profess surprise
now at his own moderation, after he had
failed in the attack upon the liberties of the
people simply from lack of power to sue
coed, shows how little he regards the YER
dict of the people against him, and how
readily he would sacrifice the people in the
interests of his party had he the power to

ATTRACTIVE MONARCHY.

There is something in monarchy that is
peculiarly attractive to the average human
being. The great masses of mankind have
feared to some extent to be independent
and self-reliant They were proud to be in
the service, and, if the condition did not
entail suffering and destitution, in the vas
salage of sovereign lord 1.-THE kings
yeomen" was proud title during the
middle ages. The universal system of
monarchy that followed upon the heels of
the failure of the feudal system in Europe
shows very clearly that monarchy was the
best or at least the best attainable form of
government at the time and for centuries
thereafter There is something ennobling,
too, with all its evils, in regarding a king
as something more than a mere man, a
queen as more than woman. There was
a generous and chivalric devotion to this
kind of superiority that must have
been great power in the develop
ment of various worthy phases of human
nature during the long period in which the
kings were monarchs indeed. The great
power of the monarch, while dangerous
enough in itself, served as protection
to the masses of the people against the
mobiles, for the former preferred an occa-
sional plundering by the king to the per-
petual plundering by the mobiles. Grad.
ually, the kings found out that the interests
of their people were identical with their
own, and generally strove to better the
condition of their subjects. And when the
strong arm Of the monarch was held out to
help the oppressed to rise, to restrain the
violent and proud, to dispense equal JUS
tice. then the people, oppressed as they had
formerly. been were not slow to ascribe
divine attributes to the kingly power.
AUSTIN showed that the power of a mon
arch properly SO called ais incapable of
legal limitation, and HOBBS held that mo
law can be uniust'', SO far was the theory
that ''the king can do no wrong" carried.
In our day when safety and peace, to
degree never attained by the old kings, are
assured to US, there is not the leaning to-
wards nor the liking for the kingly power
that people less advanced have always felt
for the sake Of security. That govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed is modern idea.
and while it is true, and in our present
condition infinitely superior to the idea of
kingly sovereignty, it implies responsibility
that people were formerly not equal to. and
a condition to which they were not then

THE WATER QUESTION.

The water question is one of the greatest
that occupy the attention of every mu-
nicipal corporation; but in this city, it is by
odds the greatest of our problems.
Not only is the all-important question of
sufficient supply always before US, for we
use more water than any other city of this
size in the world but the question of the \
rate at which the people are to be charged
for using the water, aud the proportion of
special and general taxation that shall be
applied in extending the system-all these
are becoming matters of great moment to
the tax paying public.
The whole question of water taxation
should beinyestigated and readiusted. In
this city we are not forced to pay tribute
to any company in control of the water,
and it is to be hoped that we never shall be
at the mercy of any private company. But
the present rates of water tax are probably
much higher than they should be, and the
revenue derived from this source is used
for various other purposes. 1t would be
better to reduce the rate of. tax than to
make the water service source of revenue
to cover the expenses Of other departments
The revenue derived from water taxes
should be devoted to the waterworks
department, extending the mains for
instance, until the whole city is
supplied and then the rate of tax
could be and should be reduced to a mini
mum. Water should be, as nearly as prac-
ticable, as free as air to the people. They
should pay only its bare cost This chief
necessity of human existence if supplied in
abundance and at low figure to the peo-
pie of this city, will work marvels in the
way of the development and identifying of
tho city.
We are not surprised, therefore, at the
contemplated action of the taxpayers in the
eastern part of the city, to be taken to-
night at the Tenth ward meeting, that has
for its object the determination of whether
or not the present exorbitant special tax
for water mains is constitutional. Whether
the present movement shall develop enough
strength to test the case, cannot now be
said, but we hope it will
Certain it is, however, that there must
be change in the rates of water taxes
from beginning to end. The whole system
is more or less faulty; and while it is i'm
mensely better than the lowest rates that
any private company would charge, there
Is still leaning toward the same system
OF extortion that is always practiced bv
private companies. And we suppose there
is no other way of correcting it than for
one point after another to be tested in the
courts at the expense of the suffering
public

WISE MEASURES in the last C.

WISE MEASURES in the last Congress did
not require the adoption of gag rule for
their enactment, as witness the anti-iot-
terry law, the law relieving the supreme
court, and the copyright law. There was
no obstruction placed in the way of these
measures by the gallant minority. 1t was
only when the force bill, under the name of
legislative business" was being pushed
by the partisan DULLES who ruled the ma
jority that the Democrats did their utmost
to delay, defeat, talk to death, or otherwise
quiet the measure which they finally sue
ceeded in side-tracking. The minority were
manly the real patriots Of the last Con-

THE WOMAN's BUILDING.

1t has been noted heretofore that there
is to be Woman's building at the Worlds
fair, but it is not generally known that a
woman is to make the plans and superin-
tend the construction of the building. At
least this is the intention of the directors
and it will be the fault of the women
themselves if one of them does not win the
honor and money involved. We wonder If
there are any women architects in Utah !
If there are and they would like to enter
the lists and compete for the prize, they
should at once communicate with Mr.. D.
H. BURNHAhI, chief of the bureau OF con-
struction, The Rookery, Chicago, who
will supply them with circulars of instruc
ton, as to specifications, conditions, and
such details as may be required We don't
know that the territory includes among it's
talented women any who are skilled in
architecture, and mention this matter with
the view to learning if there are any
such, and informing them that the
competition is open to their sex only. as
plans sent in by men will not be consid-
cred.
In this connection it will not be out of
place to suggest that the women of Utah
should be thinking about what they will do
at the fair for the representation of the
territory. Of course not much can be done
until the legislature shall meet and make
provision for the expenses, but we think
that reasonably generous appropriation
may be counted upon. Meantime, plans
should be devised and programmes ar
ranged, SO that when the time comes for
action the work will progress smoothly.
Whatever the men may do towards repre-
senting Utah, every citizen will be better
pleased if the Utah women do the territory
proud at the great exposition.

BUSINESS.

Mr.. JAMES II. BACON has employed attor-
neys to help him in his scheme to deprive
the people of Salt Lake city of one of their
park sites-the Old Fort square. He is
playing for big stake and thinks he can
afford to risk the few dollars which his
lawyers will charge him. 1t is evident
there is legal fight of some proportions
on. Just how far the conspirators intend
to carry this matter we don't know, but if
necessary the people will take the case to
the court of last resort and have that tri-
bunal say whether or not reckless and in
considerable council can give away to a
specula'or and real estate boomer half a
million dollars worth of the peoples land

litigation. Good lawyers assert that the
council cannot dispose of the block in
question, and that any purported title

But it will take money to defeat tn c

pie. His courage and his generosity are to
be applauded, and while his action is appre-
ciated it is not proposed that he shall bear
the burden alone. There are others who

NIB. REEDS MODERATION.

Elk Speaker REEDS comparison between
himself and OLIVE is most astounding
piece of assumption and bravado. 1t ex-
hibits, moreover, the ex-speaker's coucep-
ton, or, more properly, his misconception
Of the principle upon which the government
is founded.
According to MIR. REED, the representa-
tives of the people in Congress are to be
treated as mob of rebellious Sepoys, who
are to bs dragooned into meek obedience to
the powers that be. "Theirs not to reason
why" but to submit to the will of the die
tator without remark or protestation. This
dictator, moreover, the organized power Of

gains which he claims to have discovered in the

as approximately correct it will be seen that
the population ofIdaho and Wyoming combined

injustice OF admitting Idaho and Wyoming and
excluding the other two was apparent, OF

ESCAPED BY A WINDOW.
POLICEMAN CRONIN's MAN,
WALKS OUT OF TIE INFIRMARY.

The wouId-be Murderer Felgned IN
pitel Attendants Were on Watch
He Dropped Through an Open Win
dow and Fled-His Attack on Officer
Cronin Part OF a Conspiracy 20 Muir
der the Policeman.
George jackson, the negro shot BY Police
man Cronin Saturday night, has left his
bed in the Georgia Infirmary for parts un~
known. He escaped yesterday about 70
o'clock.
jackson was wanted by the police for
shooting a man at Liberty and East Broad
streets several weeks ago, and is said to be
wanted also In South Carolina for a similar
offense. The negro knew if he remained at
the inhrmary until he recovered he would
be put In Jail and likely given q term in the
penitentiary.
This state of affairs did not exactly suit
Jackson's tastes, and he planned a shrewd
game to escape. The game worked remark
ably well. he feigned worse condition
than was really the case so that the infirm-
airy people wouldn't keep too close a watch
on him.
FEIGNED UNcoNscIoUsNEss.
The comatose condition was his scheme,
and he seemed to know but little Of what
was Transporting around him. Some OF the
infirmary attendants thought he was surely
going TO die.
Jackson's bed was near a window, and
his clothes were near the bed About noon
he found the way cleariand quietly slipping
into his clothes got out of the window and
made tracks. his escape wasn't discovered
until some time afterward and the wounded
man had sufficient opportunity to get away.
The barracks was notified. but up to l
o'clock this morning jackson had not been
captured.
The real facts Of Jackson's attack upon
Officer Cronin came to light yesterday, and
showed deliberate and carefully laid plan
to murder the officer.
PLANNED A MURDER.
The negro whom Officer Croniu killed
In Frogtown several years ago was O
friend Of Jackson's. The latter learning that
the officer was on duty on East Broad
street Saturday, concocted q conspiracy
with two other negroes TO murder him.
jackson was to commence beating his wife
as soon as Officer Cronin made his appear
ance, and when he should dismouut to
make the arrest the three men were to
jump on the officer and kill him with his
own club and pistol.
Everything worked right until Officer
Cronin dismounted, and then Jackson's
two companions backed out and left him to
fight his own battle. This enraged the big
ruifisn, and he determined to xiii the officer
himself which accounts for his failure 60
heed the warning to stand back, just before
he was shot.
Officer Cronin had close call, and but
for his quickness Jackson's murderous in
tention would probably have been carried
TO successful termination.

DOLLARS HAVE THE CALL.

The 2. NJ. Q. a. Decides Money Has
More Iuf1uencs on Man Than Woman
Has.
The literary society Of the Young Mems
Christian Association debated last night
which has the most influence over man,
money or woman, and decided In favor Of
money.
Owing to the absence of some of the de-
baters the debate was not as lively as was
expected. Secretary Stradtman opened
the debate for the affirmative side, and
argued that it was a very plain thin: that
money had more influence over man than
woman. He said that in the consuming
struggle for the almighty dollar every
other consideration was forgotten. and the
influence OF gold oltstripped the influence
Of woman.
Mr.. II. s. Turner argued in rebuttal that
the sweet influence of woman was necessary
to the happiness OF man. and that he only
strove for money that he might bring hap
piness to her.
r. G. Wright supported MIR. Turner and
cited the instance of the institutions of
Lycurgus, the Greek Iawgiver, to encour-
age marriage, and argued that as there was
no incentive to wealth in a country where a
dollar was as big as an iron cart wheel, the
influence of money could not have been
W. de Bruyn Hops took the affirmative
He said man does not take the rebuEfb of
q lady near so much to heart as he does
those Of fortune. He easily finds another
mistress for his heart, but he continues to
WOO the goddess Of fortune in spite Of her
rebuffs.
A visitor who was present and who de-
scribed himself as bachelor OF 25," said
that Judging from his own experience the
avara0e youn0 man from the ave of II 10
% will fling money to the winds and take
the woman every time, but after that age
he comes to the conclusion that If he can
get money first he can get a woman any
time.
The debare was closed by E. Fairly Gun
ningham for the affirmative and W. R.
Hewlett for the negative.
The judges, w. deBruyn Hops, w. L.
Grayson and the president, J. deBrnyn
Hops, after short conference, decided that
the victory was with the affirmative side of
| the case, ana placed the society In the un-
| gallant position OF believing that money has
greater influence with man than woman
