THE PROPOSED JOINT PUBLIC
BUILDING.


IT ia expected that some final action
In regard TO the Joint building matter
will bo taken tonight In the City
Council. II Ia about time that the
question was settled. II has been a
subject Of discussion ever since the
"Libcrals" seized the city govern.
mcnt.
The former City Council decided
that a building should be erected on
tho city property, aud tho County
agreed TO join, pay part Of the expenses
and occupy II conformity with tho city.
Hut the new Council, which was partly
bogus, threw over the plans Of their
predecessors, aud after wasting sll 900
for which nsthiug Is TO be- see n but a
hole In the ground, decided to place the
Joint building on tho Eighth Ward
square.
Excavations have been commenced,
but nothing further has been accom-.
pllshcd except lots Of squabbling until
now. Tn. project Is still an open
question. The Council Is now com.
posed Of some different elements from
those which entered Into II on "Llbcr.
al" accession. Tbs bogus Councllmen
have retired, the legally elected officers
have taken their places. The new in
cumbents ought 10 have something 10
say on this important subject.
II IL alleged that the ground selected
for the building IL altogether insult
able. II IL springy, and water has
already arisen In the excavation.
II Ia urged that with further thought,
the county would rather have a
building Of its own. But supposlng
these points are settled and that they
had better not be raised again. Il this
good time to commence a building Of
the magnitude and Importance. Of that
proposed? l. II not too late In the
season. VIII not tho winter, coming
so soon upon the work, be- likely to
damage II materially?
There IL another questionable most
important Of all; Where In the money
coming from to pay for such AN ex.
penslve piece Of work? WIN the state
Of the municipal finances Justify this
outlay at present, considering the
doubt m To the remaining borrowing
power ofthe city?
30 much money has been expended
with 10 little 10 show for II aud the
burden Of taxes has provoked 80 much
cutlery, that II would be well for the
CITY Council to look well into this mat.
ter before any final conclusion Is
reached. We really need u new City
Hall aud q new County Court House.
But the city, like private person, can
do without new house until II Is able
10 pay for II. There are many things
that are needed which neither indl.
viduals nor the public can afford, and
wisdom and prudence suggest that be-
fore We try TO supply our wants We look
closely Into the probable means OF meet
Ing tho cost.
We do not wish TO hinder any pub.
lie enterprise, but we think these ques.
lions worthy the consideration Of all
the members Of the Council who are
not bound TO any scheme or pledged
to any project.

A TEN DOLLAR FAMILY TAX.

Elections may come and elections may go,
but taxation, like TENNYsoN's brook, flows
on forever. Our pension payments are
now about S135, 100000 a year, and con-
stantly increasing. At the present rate of
growth they will reach almost to appalling
figures by the middle Of the present de-
csde. The population of the country is in
round numbers 100000, so that it re-
quires per capita tax of 81 on every man,
woman and child in the country to meet
these exorbitant pension claims; and if we
take five persons as the size of an average
family the tax is $40 Tor every family in
the land
Twenty years ago Gen. GARFIELD, in
favoring moderate system of pen
sions, expressed the opinion that
the payments on these would decrease
year by year, by the death of pensioners
The payments then We're s2S, 00O, 900, and
now they are S135, COO, OOO-nearly five times
as great. Next year they will be greater
and they will not stop there. They will
continue to increase, if the p1 resent rate is
maintained, till they reach 500, 600, COO. In
plain words we are paying now s135, 000,-
600 year for war which ended twenty
six years ago. This is S60,000,000 more
than the annual cost of the German army,
and s24,00O,000 more than the annual cost
Of the French army. With these facts in
view the United States can afford to have
and enjoy long period of peace

ing was held at Salt Lake, and was very
largely attended, representatives being present
from number of clubs and delegations present
from every county in the state. While in Utah
meetings were held at Ogden, Provo and Logan.
AT Provo here are large wooden mills that are
row manufacturer large quantities of WOODEN
goods The operators at the mills and the
wool gro wers from the districts were present
in great numbers to hear Mr.. BYNUM'S mas
terly explanation Of the wooden question. His
explanation was well received and apparently
satisfactory. In Utah we found the people OF
Q territory suffering under an abuse Of power
in the shape Of the Utah commission
board that is un-American and un-
necessary, which was sent out first to look into
the question Of polygamy, but is now resolving
itself simply into a political returning board
assuming all sorts of powers and passing on
questions that 1t was never intended it should
have anything to do with. The practice of
polygamy has been abandoned in the territory,
ana am thoroughly convinced that the Nor
mons are sincere in what they promise. It
struck me that they were very much in the
same position as the southern people were at
the close of the war in relation to their slaves
rather pleased that the practice was q thing
Of the past. 1t win readily seem that it is the
interest of this commission to make it appear
that polygamy is still practiced for the reason
that their nice, fat berths of 5000 year de-
pend on its existence. The federal judges,
United States marshals and officials appointed
under the CLEVELAND administration, who are
at present in the territory, and who have had
great deal to do in enforcing the laws, are now
all against the continuation of the Utah COM

In Massachusetts it Is not strange that

but the per centage upon the vote of last
year, so far as reported, is not sufficient
to overcome RUssELL's plurality, which

liant young Democrat, is elected.
Thus, surveying the field of yesterdays

ant campaign of 1891, the Democracy Of the

ultation and victorious rejoicing. Viewed

HIS SCARE CROW.

1t will be time enough for Governor
THOMAS to oppose statehood for Utah and
clutch for reasons to sustain his opposition
when any party asks for the admission of
Utah into the union. Nobody is saying
anything about statehood. No party has
even suggested the probability of the ques-
ton being raised in the near future. Com
paratively few care anything about it SO
long as things are running along in half
way tolerant manner, and it may be set
down as a certainty that no movement
looking TO the admission of the territory
will be made this winter. 1t is a scarecrow
of his and his party's construction that the
governor is combating. If the governor
and his associates will listen moment
THE HERALD will tell them little secret.
Utah will never apply for statehood until
the powers that be are quite as ready to
grant the request as the people here are
to make it. There will be no attempt to
force matters. Rather will the territory
be dragged into the union than she will
crowd herself in. The invitation will come
from the other end of the line and will not
be in response to request on the part Of
Utah. This is authentic and expresses the
sentiment of nine out of every ten citizens
and taxpayers in the territory. If we
weren't opposed to hurting the feelings Of
the governor we would let him into an
other secret by informing him that when
statehood does come he will not be ''in it,
to any marked extent, as then the people
will rule; but nothing shall be said about
this now

The Remuneration of Polygamy Sincere
Act

I hare no doubt that as they have been led
10 believe il Che church manifesto of Septem-

1t will be received by the members Of the Nor

and that, in effect, the practice Of polyydn,y IS
formally renounced by the people. 1
think thar action should be regarded as sincere
until there is good reason for thinking other
