THE SAME OLD STORY.

1t will be interesting to see what facts
will he referred to, what methods of argu-
ment will be adopted by the delegations
that go to Washington from this city to op-
pose the Home Rule Bill now under con-
sideration by the House and Senate CON-
mittees on territories. The only opposition
to be expected from the Republicans will
come in the form OF arequest for statehood.
II never having occurred to their minds
that the difficulties in Utah could be swept
away and something like justice be done to
the people of Utah, they were going to sit
quietly down and accept the position as
stated by President HARRIsoN, which in
substance was this: The Mormon people are
not to be trusted. Their giving up poly
gamy is only sham. They are not sin
cere 1t will be unsafe to give statehood
TO Utah, lest from behind state lines they
re-estabish plural marriage. We must
wait until the population of Utah so changes
that the state to be eventually created out
of that territory will enact the same laws
in respect to polygamy as the nation has
enacted. No compact formed between the
United States and the new state TO be Gre

hence he saw no safety in granting state
| hood to Utah. Such was the Presidents
position, and local Republicans were for
letting the matter rest there, waiting, like
| PATIENCE on a monument, for one
of three things: First, for President
HARRISON to quit the White House in
Washington and become plain b. H or,
second, the national Republican party to
have change of heart, by which it would
have more confidence in the American PEG.
pie of great commonwealth; or, third for
the population of Utah to be so changed
that nor-Mormons (or, perhaps, Republi-
cans) were in a safe majority. But, be-
hold while they all slumbered and slept
the sleep of the slothful, Democratic in
genuity invented a scheme which, while il
swept away all doubts and fears of Presi-
dent HARRISON, gave at the same time a
large increase of liberty to the people OF
Utah. Local Republicans awoke in time
to see the grand procession ad.
vancing under double quick time
and finding the ranks so closely
packed that there was no place for them
except at the tail end, they girded up their
loins and undertook to head off the Demo
cratic procession by forming a new one
and shouting statehood, in hopes of over
whelming the Democratic demand fol
Home Rule. How they will succeed with
B. H. in the Presidential chair needs NJ
ghost from the other world to tell US
Democrats will never oppose statehood fol

Republican majority in the Senate, and re-

and therefore asked for as much Justice

could hope to obtain under existing condi
lions, and we feel assured that if tina

NOTWITHSTANDING THE loneliness of
Congressman in general relative to any act
concerning the pension Office, it would ap-
pear that RAUM is really to be investigated.
The members are afraid that any move
ment of this nature will be ''misconstruedn
by the pensioners in their districts into hos
tility to the pension policy. Except in the
south, where. as matter of course. there
are no beneficiaries of the government
bounty, there is more robust and able
bodied cowardice in both parties on this
subject than one could ''shake stick at"
And yet every honest soldier is anxious
that the lists be purged of frauds and dead
beats. The quicker this is done the sooner
will cease the growing opposition to the
perpetuation of what is known to be the
greatest burden under which the people
suffer in a pecuuiary point of Wow.

TIE FORGED SIGNATURES.

That Bowman bond investigation is de-
veloplng into a ludicrous farce. 1t has been
dragging along in the countyl court for
days, but whittier it was drifting nobody
had the remotest idea. Men whose names
were attached to the document have been
asserting under oath that they never
signed the paper, the signatures not being
theirs. and then other men would smile and
ask, 'What of it?" Just why the matter
was ever taken int the county court has
not yet appeared. Probably when the ex-
PLANTATION comes it will trsnspire that the
investigation was made before the county
court because those who conducted it
didn't know any better than to take it
there; because they didn't know
that If the court were to find
that all the signatures were forgeries it
would be powerless in the premises. Hav-
ing questioned everybody they wanted to
question. and learned just what every
body who reads The HERALD knew two
or three weeks ago, the probate Judge
looked appealingly toward the county and
city attorneys, these latter looked ap.
pealingly towards the probate judge, while
the contractor and his man Friday looked

THOSE DAMAGE SUITS.

Seven of the men who were denied the
privilege Of voting in the Fourth ward on
Monday have brought suit against the
election judges, claiming damages to the
amount of $4,000 in each instance. The
boss of the Liberal party has published an
appeal for funds with which to institute
suits against the judges in behalf of the
hundred or more fellows who were not
permitted to vote at the poll mentioned.
Pareutheticaly it may be remarked that
the boss will have to rustic pretty lively to
find all of his distinguished clients, as Mr..
BILLY" RYAN, the superintendent of
waterworks, is understood to he discharg-
ing men since Monday, as there will be
no more voting in the Fourth ward for six
months.
THE HERALD is mighty glad these suits
have been instituted, and we hope there
will be more of them. We hope that every
hobo brought in here by the Liberal bosses
and who was not allowed to cast vote on
Monday will bring suit for damages, though
we protest against these plaintiffs being
kept on the city pay roll pending the trial
of their actions and the recovery of dam
ages. We are going to look to Mayor
BAsKIN to protect the city treasury against
raids Of this character We want as many
of these suits as possible started. They
will help the district court clerk and the
marshal, between whom the fees will
be divided, and they will have a
tendency to e1ualize the brains and the
money of those Liberal gentlemen who at
present have more of the latter than the
former. And what is of greater import-
ance, they will iudicially determine
whether or not colonizing for voting pur-
poses is legitimate and legal. The courts
will be permitted to say if city official can
erect tents in a precinct thirty days before
election, fill them with men from other
precincts or other parts of the territory,
pay them cut OF the public treasury and
vote them on election day, the day follow
ing striking tents and giving the men their
discharge. If all this can be done then our
elections of the future will be more of
fraud, more of farce, than they have
been, and running hobo trains from other
states and distant parts of the territory
will become an industry regularly prac.
ticed by the party IN control of the public
funds. We want TO see these suits prose
cuted vigorousiy-tried right up to the
handle'-the widest latitude consistent
with the proper application of the law per.
mitted on both sides. We want the plain.
tiffs to tell on what ground they claim
the right to vote; we want them to tel
under oath whether OF not they were
colonized, and if so by whom and under
what conditions, and whether or not il
was part OF any bargain entered into tina,
they should vote certain ticket
The decent people of Utah are a gooG
deal more interested in having the ques
tons involved in these suits iudicially de-
termined than the plaintiffs can possibly be
