of Journalists. Els support of the mi
nority government, as that of Lord Sal
isbury was called, was a great element
of its success. Sir John Jafray stood
next to him, if not his equal in the value
of his services with the Birmingham
Daily Post. He was one of those Liber-
ais who refused to follow Gladstone in
his Irish policy, and is known as an in

The most interesting parsonage, how

Sir G. G. Armstrong, once Captain
Armstrong, Of the India army, as
after brilliant career as a soldier
and being disabled in middle life he
chose new profession and soon reached
a very high place in it. His father was
Colonel Armstrong, of the Bengal army,
and the son was bred to arms from boy
hood. After some general work he
served through the famous Indian mu-
tiny in the irregular cavalry, was badly
wounded and received a pension. He
then served some time at the Royal
Military college, and in 1874 entered
journalism as manager of The Globe.

crisis of 1881 caused the establishment
of The People, of which he is part pro
prietor. DIR. William Smith, LII. D., of
The Quarterly, was best known in the
United States as editor of those ponder
Gus dictionaries of the Bible and clas-
sizes. In fact, Smiths Bible Dictionary is
in almost every scholarly gentleman's
library. He is seventy-nine years old
and retired scholar, so it is hard to
think of him as a knight.

THE WYOMING AFFAIR.

We are not surprised to hear that the
better class Of people in Wyoming feel
Inundated over recent occurrences, and
are indignant at the incompetency and
weakness of the administration. The state
is not yet two years old, and upon the
breaking out Of the first trouble, the exec
utive sits down and confesses absolute
helplessness and beseeches the federal
government to send relief and protection.
Men of spirit are ashamed. They feel that
their commonwealth has been disgraced;
that Wyoming has been made to pose be-
fore the country as incapable of self-gov-
eminent, as almost unworthy of the state
hood which was so recently con-
ferred upon the assurance of the
citizens that they no longer needed
the fostering care and generous protection
of the national government. What makes
matters worse is the fact that the weak
kneed executive apparently did not think
of employing the states power, authority
and resources for quelling the disturbance
but few directly to Washington with an
appeal for aid, and United States troops
were sent to quell little war between
have been taken into custody by q resolute
sheriff and posse. We shall be much mis-
taken if the Wyoming administration soon
hears the last of its exhibition Of incompe
tency, to employ mild term.
Up to the present time it has been i'm
possible to get at all of the "true inward
ness" of the trouble. 1t is known, how
ever that company of cattlemen, some Of
them said to be among the foremost citizens
of the state, undertook by force, and with
out the forms or authority of law, to drive
out certain so-cslled ''rustlers" and alleged
cattle thieves. The former set out to wage
war of determination, and they began by
killing at least two men and burning some
ranch houses. To say the least, these
foremost citizens" have peculiar ideas of
the duties and responsibilities of good citi-
zenship, when they will thus openly set
aside government law and constituted
authority and deliberately return to
barbaric methods and practices. When
the tables had been turned on them
and they found themselves surrounded by
and at the mercy Of those they had intend
ed TO annihi ate, probably they came to
their senses and concluded that, after all,
perhaps it would be better, in civilized
country, to let the law do It's work. The
doughty cattIemen were finally rescued
from their perilous situation by United
States troops, and escorted to the military
fort. 1t is TO be hoped they will be pro-
tected until they get out of the country
which they did not conquer, and we ven
ture the further hope that the lesson
learned by these foremost citizens''
within the past few days viii be lasting.
Meantime, we feel for the sensitive PEG.
pie Of Wyoming who are ashamed that
their state has been made to pose before
the country in such an ugly manner.

pearance OF to-day The from tage On that
street is worth from 81 600 to 81, 800 foot,
and yet there are buildings on that land
which would be objected to in the most
dilapidated mining camp in the TERRITORY.
Rickety, one-story wooden structures
cumber ground so valuable that it GU ght to
bear nothing less than pretentious three,
five, six or seven-story buildings with
carved stone fronts. And many such
structures along that street would find
eager renters, although to I'LL them might
empty half score of shacks.
The owners of the valuable land will
learn one of these days that cheap, ill-ar-
ranged and Inconvenient buildings are not
profitable. This is an age when people
want the best They want hand
some, airy and light stores; they
want convenient and we'll arranged Offices;
they want qu1ck-runDing and safe eleva-
tors; they want things which cost money
and they are willing to pay for what they
get
Perhaps their is too much building to suit
the old fogy land owners, whose ram
shackle structures which have served as
stores and Office rooms, are being vacated
whenever fine, commodious building is
completed, but there is not too much for
the live, progressive people who will be
glad when something occurs to free the
principal streets from the shanties in
which business is transacted for lack of
better places.

@roo MUCH BUiLDING.o

A gentleman commenting on the fact
that plans are out for several store and
Office buildings to be erected this year,
the belief that there might be too
much building in the city, and to sustain
himself in this, said that many stores were
for rent and numerous office rooms were
vacant although rents were low.
The HERALD does not apprehend over
building in Salt Lake. 1t is true, there are
many empty offices and stores, but that
fact does not mean excessive building. It
simply means that the "shacks" which
have done service so long,I making their
owners rich from exofbitant rents.

THE SUGAR ThICK.

When Mr.. MCKINLEY introduced his
tariff bill in the House he supported it
with speech in which, amongst other
things, he challenged the admiration and
gratitude of the people because the bill re-
moved the duty on certain grades of raw
sugar, which would cheaper that article
about one half. The duty on sugar was
not removed entirely-only on the lowest
grades, the best of which are used by plain
people. The Senate bill lowered the grades
Of sugar that were to be admitted free, TO
point where the removal OF duty would
benefit none but the combined refners
Most of the imported sugars are dark, wet
and filed with dirt-utterly unfit for use
without refining. There is little of it that
appears on poor mans table. To admit
this stuff free Of duty, therefore, was no
favor. to the people, but it was favor to
the organized refners.
In the shape the MCKINLEY bill finally
passed, all sugars above number 16 Dutch
standard in color pay duty of ~ pound.
If it was really intended to give the people
the benefit of free sugar it would admit all
sugar, raw or refined, without duty. But
the rehners' trust, with its capital OF $50,
1000, would not consent to this. 1t want
ed iuggle by which the people might get
free sugar of a quality they do not want
and never use, while in the qualities that
are most largely consumed they would have
to pay the gouging prices fixed by the trust
monopoly. And now since the only com
petition (the SPREcKELs refinery of Phila-
delphia) has succumbed to their blandish-
nents the price Of refined sugar is going
up.
The tariff act is full of receptions and
pretenses, but the sugar iuggle is the most
detestable trick of all The grades of sugar
| which the people use are still taxed;
the grades the refEers use are admitted
free of duty. But we are glad TO see Re-
publican papers urging the repeal of the
duty on the refined article, in order tc
burst up the monopoly.

In LooKPoRT, N. Y, the other day
machine called the Meyers voting machine
was at the town election put to success
full test. This machine, or rather the booth,
is constructed of iron, and is about seven
feet by five feet square The voter ap-
proaches the entrance door in an alley pro-
tected by railing. His name is announced
when he reaches the door and is recorded
by clerk. He enters the booth alone, and
is allowed one minute 10 vote, although the
ordinary voter did not require more than
from ten 10 fifteen seconds to register his
ballot. It is absolutely impossible to vote
twice or fraudulently. The button oppo-
site any candidates name being pushed i'll
is at once locked, as are the buttons of
other candidates for the same office, only
the button pushed registering. The ma
chine saves time and money. In ten min
utes after the polls closed the result was
announced on each of the sixty-four candi-
dates. 1t is estimated that inside of an
hour the total results from a national or
state election throughout the state could
be accurately and fully tabulated.

THE HERALD observes that little obiec-
tion has been raised to the passage by the
House of the bill placing cotton Dagging,
cotton ties, ETC., on the free list. 1t went
through by q vote of 156 yeas to 10
nays. The duties thus sought to be
abolished bring the tariff up to nearly the
import price of the article before landing,
and is a practical prohibition. The en-
HANGED price of the domestic article is
equal to about 81, 100000 estimated on the
cotton crop of last year, which was the
largest ever known, with the selling price
the lowest for forty years.

Illinois, wrote that the BLAND silver bill
was not genuine free coinage bill, and
rather insinuated that the silver ring, as he
termed it, had much to do with its prepara-

on Tuesday, sharply denied the charge.
Nobody, in or out of Congress, suspects

WEIGH WELL YOUR VOTE!

Today the citizens of Los Angeles will
be called upon to decide by their votes
whether or no they will sanction the
issuance of $4,000 in twenty-year
bonds for the construction of "head
works" for new water system on the
hills. The HERALD has repeatedly
pointed out the bad policy of voting
these bonds. Six days from today a
constitutional amendment will undoubt-
edly be adopted which will enable our
people to issue forty-Year bonds for this
and other purposes. Such long time
bond will be negotiable at rate much
lower than would be possible in the case
of twenty-year bond. The sinking
fund would be only half the yearly sum
required for twenty-year bond. Com
petent engineers have pointed out in
detail the fact that the estimates on
file in the city engineers Office are
faulty and incomplete, and the state.
ment has been made without reserve by
these gentlemen that the voter has no
guarantee that these headworks NAV
not cost three times $526,000. Many
other valid objections exist to their
issuance, amongst which are the solemn
! engagement of the water company to
