DON'T.

We hear it limited that the legislature
may increase the tax rate, the argument
being that the demands upon the treasury
are considerably greater than the income,
and an increase of taxes will be necessary
in order TO avoid big issue of bonds. We
are not advised as to the reliability of this
rumor, but our earnest advice to the law
makers L. don't.
We are aware Of the calls for money We
know of the demands for appropriations,
and have heard some of the earnest pleas
put forth for cash. Every fellow thinks
his request should be granted. The
boards of public institutions are
trying to convince the legislature
that their respective institutions will go to
the demnition bow-wows unless they, get
the money asked for. Arguments, all more
or less convincing, are heard in favor of
every estimate. And yet THE HERALD en-
| phasizes, don't raise the taxes.
Ia this city, two years ago, 1t was an
nounced that the taxes would be increased,
and at once there came decline in real
estate sales, which decline almost amounted
10 paralysis when the increase was made.
There has been no recovery from that blow.
We personally know that property owners,
regarded as fairly well-to- do, have been
compelled to borrow money the past
two years to pay taxes. On the
recorders books at the county
court house are the records of 1000 real
estate mortgages. High taxes had good
deal to do with placing many of those
mortgages. Don't permit a similar blow tc
be struck at the territory at large. Con
fine the evil to the narrowest possible
limits.
1t is not necessary to appropriate al
that is asked. 1t is not necessary for Utaf
to indulge in some things which individu
ais are striving for. 1t is not necessary tt

SPECIAL TARIFF REVISION.

The protected interests are greatly
alarmed over the shape the tariff reform
question has taken in the committee on
ways and means. They do not by any
means subscribe to the arguments of
DAVID a. WELLS, the noted opponent of
the MCKINLEY and similar measures, in
behalf OF revision by detail. This proposed
removal of duties by piece meal would
cause series of breaches in the protection
barrier that would weaken the whole line
disintegration that would make the
entire system crumble away. They will
resist 1t with all their strength, and
one of their arguments is the
alleged injustice of dealing with
national policy by piece-meal instead of
by general and uniform law. One of the
reasons why atthe last session the Repub
licans opposed amendments to the McKIN
LEY bill was that they would destroy its
unity and harmony.
But the protected interests are opposed
to a general as well as special reduction
of the tariff provisions. They want it to
be let alone, and in this they have the en-
couragemeut of the President who is OPP
posed to dealing with the subject at all.
Each beneficiary may be willing that some
other beneficiary shall be deprived of pro-
lection, as long as the proposed reduction
stops before it reaches himself. The New
Englanders would be glad to see coal, ore
and wool put on the free list, since
these are articles they have to
buy; but they would object
to serious reduction of the duties on the
wooden and cotton goods of which they
sell so much.
1t being determined that at present a
commendable way to deal with the tariff
is by detail, as it is known the President
would veto any sweeping measure, the
ways and means committee are right 10
select articles for treatment, the duties on
which are particularly onerous upon the
masses of the people. The duties on wool
and wooden goods, fencing wire, cotton
bagging cordage, TOOLS leather goods, ETC.,
ought to be, some of them removed entirely
and some of them essentially lessened to
relieve the producers, including the farm
ers of the west and south.
The whole tariff-tax system as repre-
scented in last sessions legislation is so IN
equal in its operations, SO sectional in char
acter and so oppressive, that striking at al
most any point would be to effect good re-
suits. Our people of the Democratic or
popular party expect their representatives
will at least strive to accomplish some of
the reforms so greatly needed, and the Re-
publcans will be at great disadvantage il
in the House, as in the committee, they
antagonize special removals or reductions
Still, there are duties which bear with
more hardship than others on consumers
and these are the ones that ought to be Gu
away first.

HARRISON,s TRIALS AND TRIUMPHs.

Multitudinous are the troubles of B. H.
Washington correspondents say that the
relations between him and BLAINE that
were erstwhile reported as strained" are
now under great stress, each iDdulging in
boyish warfare upon the other. The newest
ruction, it appears, grows out of the APP
pointment of VIM. n. GRINNELL, nephew
of Vice-President MORTON as third assist
ant secretary of state, to take the place of
a gentleman named MOORE. This appoint
ment was made not only without Mr.
BLAINE's sanction, but in the face of his
recommendation of Mr.. T. w. CRIDLER,
chief of the diplomatic bureau; but the sec
rotary went to the bat by placing his
factotum, ex-Minister FOSTER, in the third
assistants gorgeously furnished room, and
Mr.. GRINNELL has been permitted to camp
in the elevator, or wherever else he could
find seat, that gentleman being a persona
non grata at the inner precincts of the de-
partment
This incident has called to mind the cir
cumstance that the President has baked
the premier in numerous cases relating to
the conduct of his Office, Mr. HARRIsoN's
aim being not particularly to offend
BLAINE, but rather to advance his own
personal cause, BLAINE to tie contrary
Notwithstanding. Thore are said to be
chung up" in the pigeon holes of the exec
utive Office no fewer than forty-nine nomi-
nations for consular offices made by the
secretary of state, and the probabilities are
that when action is taken on these cases
the names of friends of promoters of Mr..
HARRIsoN's re- election interests will be
substituted.

WE FEAR the new secretary of war is not
exhibiting much progress in the peculiar
art of concealment, which IS one OF the
chief accomplishments of the really able
Cabinet minister. The ability to keep
secret, or to permit it to find its way to the
public through circuitons and devious
ways when it is desirable 1t should be
known, has evidently not yet been acquired
by Mr.. ELKINs. He has actually stated
that Mr.. HARRIsoN is an aspirant for re-
election To be sure, significant hints and
little grains of garrulous prattle have been
darkly dropped 10 this effect for some time
past, but for the secretary of war to
bluntly state that in his belief b. b. is a
candidate, comes so sudden-like 1t almost
takes our breath away.

AT ANY time within the last thirty or

have gladly assented to the proposition to
give back to Mexico TIE battle flags and

the flint bears fire, which much enforced
