SuDDoSed Suicide.

Last Sunday, policeman found a
coat and hat on the Fish Market
wharf that had evidently belonged
to Chinese. The effects were taken
to the Station House, and the officers
agreed that they belonged to some
unfortunate that had jumped over
board. A Chinaman named Lau
Houng has been missing for several
days, so his friends came to the con-
clusion that he was the suicide, and
offered a reward for the recovery of
his body. A native named Charles
Kapau dragged the bottom IN the
vicinity of the old Custom House
wharf, yesterday, and eventually
succeeded in bringing the body to
the surface after being submerged
three days. Deputy Marshal Mehr-
ten was informed of the affair, and
Immediately had the body removed
to the Station house morgue, and
started to hold an inquest. Owing to
the short notice, it was impossible to
get all the testimony together, and
the inquest was postponed until this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The police officials state that in
their opinion no foul crime has been
committed, and there is no doubt
about the man committing self
destruction.
The deceased had been troubled
with lung complaint that caused
him much suffering, so his friends
ascribe the cause to that fact.

REBELLION IN CHINA.
Late News From the Orient Re
9ardin9 1t.

The rebellion in North China had
assumed very serious aspects when
the S. S. Rio Janeiro left the Celes-
tial kingdom. The authorities Of tie
province were unable 10 put down
the uprising, and several high Off
Gals were dismissed ia consequence.
When the Rio da Janeiro left Hong
kong there was report current that
the rebels had been quelied, but it
did not prove true. From the re-
ports printed in the Hongkorg pa
pers it appears that there are two
distinct movements, one a raid by
mounted bandits in Mauchuria, and
the other d religious outburst among
the inhabitants of Mongolia. The
appended extracts are taken from
the Hongkong Press of late date:
''News has been received of the
outbreak of serious rebellion In
Manchuria, about two hundred miles
northeast of Picking. This rebels
who are we'll organized and under
the command of a famous Llama
priest, have defeated 1000 Imperial
lists, killing 700 of them; have taken
the town of Chaoyang, killing the
mandarin in charge; and are re-
ported to have massacred the Christ
ians in Kinchow. They are believed
to be marching on Peking"
800 Christians of both sexes,
young and old, have been killed at
Kingchow, and the Chinese priest
Ling has been cut to pieces at San
che t'ian-fan-za, in Eastern Mon
golia."
ONE OF THE THE LEADERS.
From authentic sources, il is
learned that the situation ia the
north is more serious than at first
reported. 1t is said that Ii Hung,
son of the ex rebel and Generals
simo of Kiangsu, Ii Chung shua,
who was beheaded some years ago
by Yu-lu, then Governor of Anhui, is
the leader of the daring enterprise,
ostensibiy for the purpose of aveng
ing his fathers death on Yu 10, now
| Tartar General of Monkden. His
force consists of 10000 or 10000
robbers, disbanded troops and
roughs, and he is devasting the
country about Choyang far and
| near.
THE REBELS NOT DISPERSED.
The n. G. Daily News says: There
| is much reason to doubt whether the
reports lately current at Tientsin of
the complete success of the Impe-
rialist troops against the rebels in
the north were correct. The sue
cesses came too soon, and were too
complete, and the news of them
appears to have been derived from
Chinese official sources, which are
not very trustworthy. In foreign
official quarters in Peking and III
entsin, the situation is considered to
be very serious, and the activity of
the Chinese Government in hurry
ing up new commanders to the seat
of the rebellion, as we'll as men,
money, arms, and munitions. shows
that the movement is not light
ly estimated at Picking. It is
stated that the rebels, far from
being driven back to their mountain
Businesses, are extending the field of
their massacres, and that the Gov
eminent troops have not so far been
successful in holding them in check.
1t is at any rate certain that the
present rising is not an ordinary raid
of mounted bandits, and even if it
has not yet attainted the dignity of
a rebellion, it is serious enough to
cause considerable alarm at the
capital.

THE COUNTY BONDS.


1t must not be understood that THE HER
AID is opposing or is going to oppose the
proposition to bond the county for $500, 600.
This paper does not object to a public debt.
We think that such debts are sometimes
both proper and necessary. II is only
equitable that future generations should
pay their proportion Of the permanent i'm
provements from which they derive benefit.
1t is not right that those now living should
pay for all the roads and all the bridges,
should pay for all the public buildings and
other institutions to be enjoyed without
cost by those who come later.
We only insist upon knowing that the
county needs the money which is to be
borrowed; that the improvements contem-
plated are necessary and proper; that it
will be to the present and future benefit OF
the taxpayers if the improvements
should be made at this time and the
demonstrnte that the revenue is INSULT
Gent to do what shoe be done, and that
It will be wise to borrow money, then The
HERALD will ask the people to vote the
bonds. 1t is light that we want aud more
light than is shed by the formal and rather
indefinite preamble which was adopted by
the court the other day as basis for ask
ing loan of $4,000. 1t is light that the
people want. The taxpayers are not gong
to burden themselves and their children
with debt of this magnitude on the show
ing so far made.
Everybody knows the taxes are go high
as to be oppressive. If they do not
produce sufficient money to pay the
current expenses and make the i'm
provements which wisdom dictates,
let the fact be made apparent, and we be-
lieve the people will vote the bonds and
add something TO the already heavy burden
which they are carrying. 1t may as well
be understood. however, that the demon
stration must be very plain in order to
satisfy, as the official extravaganza and
in public expenditures which
have characterized local administration
during the past two or three years have
alarmed people, and the desire for economy
is widespread.
THE HEHALD and the taxpayers will be
governed in this bonding matter by the
light which shall DE shed.

PECULIAR DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic party of Utah as an or
ganization is on record as in favor of the
Home Rule bill which passed the House Of
Representatives last week. All members
Of the yarty as individuals favor the bill as
one which promises immediate relief from
many Of the evils which prevail Staunch
and true Democrats went to Washington
last winter and appearing before the SEN
ate and House Committees or Territories
explained why the bin should become law
and earnestly appealed for its early pass
age. The Democratic party Of the nation
in its convention at Chicago last month
adopted the principle on which the bill is
based and made it part OF tue national plat
form. When the bill came before the
House for final action every Democratic
Representative present voted for it. There
is nothing in the Democratic ritual 10
which the party is more squarely com
mitted than this very principal of Home
Rule, and there is nothing to which the
opposed. The bill was antagonized
before the House and Senate COM
mittees by Republicans. The Repub-
lican majority Of the Senate committee
have persistently refused to report the bill,
although the hearing before the committee
was closed last February, five months ago.
Every Republican member OF the House
committee signed report adverse TO the
bill and when the measure came up for ac-
tion Republicans flibustered all they could
against it. and finally every member Of the
party voted against il. These matters are
ALI well known here and we only refer TO
them now Tor the purpose OF calling atten-
ton TO tue fact that the following telegram
was sent to the Republican leader of the
House and the chairman Of the Committee
on Territories, who in his minority report
on the bill and in his speeches on tho floor
OF the House, not only attacked the measure
viciously. but made statements regarding
the people OF Utah which stamp him as a
wiuful falsiter and reckless slanderer:

Re HATES IT.


Senator SHERMAN has another knife
wLetted for the silver cause. The silver
law of 1890 is one of the most abominabie
pieces of legislation ever put into the books.
1t is so much worse than the law of 1878,
that we have never ceased to wonder how
1t was that intelligent friends of the white
metal even consented to the repeal of the
BLAND act whilst getting only this law in
return The only feature of the act of 100
which makes the law tolerabIe is that re-
curing the purchase by the government of
four and q half millions ounces of silver
per month This is steadily increasing the
circulating medium, and while it empha-
sizes and maintains the commodity chsrac-
ter of silver as distinguished from Q money
metal, it still provides market for con-
siderable portion OF the product and makes
possible the working of the higher
grade Of silver mines. Now SHER-
NAN introduces a bill for the re-
peal of the compulsory purchase
clause, leaving the matter Of buying dis
cretionary with the secretary Of the
treasury. If SHERMAN's bill were to pass
not another ounce of silver would be pur-
chased by. the government, ana the market
for the metal would at once be restricted
to the requirements OF the manufactures
and arts Only the richest of the silver
mines could be worked, because the price
of the metal would fall below the cost of
production in all save the big and high
grade veins.
OF course the Senator's bill will not pass.
Congress is not ready TO grant free coin
age, but it would do even that before it
would strike silver another blow. The in

show how intensely the Ohio Senator hates
