THE HOME RULE BILL.

a washington correspondent is author
ity for the statement that the President will
veto either or both the Home Rule and state
hood bills, for the reason that he has no
confidence In the sincerity and honesty of
the Mormon people. Nobody has ever for
moment thought Mr.. HARRISON would
approve the bill for the admission of the
territory to the Union. The preparation
and presentation Of the bill has all along
been understood by everybody to be nei-
Their more nor less than q waste of time
and effort Its advocates did not even ex-
pect favorable action in either house of
Congress, and they knew all the time
that II the measure could be carried
TO the President it would there meet
an insurmountable obstacle The Home
Rule bill was drafted with special refer
ence to meeting the well known objections
of the President and providing the people
practical self-government until such time
as the party represented by Mr.. HARRISON
and the people of the country generally
were convinced that they slandered the
people of this territory in casting dis
credit upon their honesty, sincerity and
patriotism. The President had said in
this city that the people must wait; six
months later he said the same thing to
Congress and the country. And we all ex-
pected to wait while he is in the White
House; but it was not thought that he
would carry his prejudice to the extent of
denying all relief while we are waiting.
The indications, however, are that pos
sibly the executive veto will not be effect
i've, and that the Home Rule bill will be-
come law in spite of the Presidents indie
feasible opposition. Dispatches from Wash
ington yesterday said the House committee
on territories had instructed the chairman
to report the bill and to ask the committee
on rules to fix day for consideration and
final action as soon as the tariff and silver
debates are concluded. There was but one
member of the committee who opposed this
action, whilst eight favored it, the single
opponent being Republican. This practi-
cally unanimous report by the committee
is equivalent to an announcement that the
bill will pass the House without encounter
ing anything like formidable opposition,
the majority being sufficient to overcome
the executive veto. If the bill should not
be made party matter, which is not likely,
it will go through the Senate by majority
large enough TO convince the President
that his veto will be ineffective.
The people of Utah may congratulate
themselves upon the appearance of day
light through the Home Rule bill.

The OLD POLITICAL ISSUES.

The Republicans are showing no new
styles for their campaign of 1892. Old de-
ceptions are considered still good enough
for the farmer, and the workingmen are to
be piled still further with the exploded
notion that high tariff means high wages 1;
that protection" guarantees constant en-
ployment at remunerative prices: that
tariff revision is free trade that free trade
brings competition of American with Eu-
ropean labor. All these are to be checked
down the Threats of the less intelligent
reading and unthinking people. and
unless the doctrines and policy advocated
by the Democratic party are fully dissent
mated, explained aud satisfactorily demon
strated. like result may befall the coun-
try al the coming election as befell it in
1885,
"Protection to American iudustries' has
high sounding tone, and as the American
people boast of their patriotism many at
the last Presidential election voted, as thew
were led to believe, for an American pol
icy. But the high tariff they then were
induced to support as measure calculated
to benefit the whole people has proved
nothing more nor less than general
swindle at the expense principally of the
agricultural and laboring interests of the
country. There is no necessity to continue
the war tax levied on the people thirty
years ago and increased rather than di-
minished by the latest legislation on the
subject, and there is no argument to sus-
tain such unjust favoritism as is shown in
the MCKINLEY law. Under the provisions
of that act the iron and steel barons OF
Pennsylvania and the rich and autocratic
millionaires of the eastern manufacturing
states are alone benefited. The farmer
and honest laborer have no protection at
all.
At the last Presidential election the term
tariff revision" was comparatively new.
was not thoroughly understood, aud the
time was too short to point out its good
qualities during the campaign. But since
the HARRISON administration came into
power and the MCKINLEY robbery was
perpetrated, the people have seen for them
selves the true meaning. Tariff revision
implies reduction OF the duties now lev
led on the mass of the people for the bene-
fit of a favored few who advanced the
sinews of war to run the last Republican
campaign. The trusts and combinations

that their interests would be defended and
advanced.

industrious over-worked lshorer, or an in

AMNESTY.

The HERALD's Washington correspon-
dent has it straight that the President will
issue proclamation this week granting
amnesty to offenders against the anti
polygamy laws of Congress. Our morning
contemporaries correspondent at the CAPT.
tai makes the same announcement, with
this addition, that Mr.. HARRISON does not
believe in the protested sincerity of the
Mormon people in their recent declaration
concerning polygamy. but out of Difference
to the opinions of western Senators who
are supposed to be more or less familiar
with the people of this territory be will
grant the amnesty. We began to believe
the President could not find the courage to
perform this act of justice, and we even now
doubt that be would issue the proclamation
If it were not for the pressure brought
TO bear upon him by those whom
he cannot afford to antagonize at this time
de will grant amnesty with bad grace
and unwillingly, and we believe he would
feel better if there were string TO it.
The HERALD has been asked "How many
will amnesty affect!" and "In what DO
sition will it place those to whom the am
nesty proclamation appliesW An answer
to the first question would be little better
than guess. We don't know the number
and have no means of ascertaining the
facts. When the EDMUMDs law was put
into operation it was said that between
2, 500 and 5000 men whose names had pre-
viously been on the registration list de-
clined to take the oath prescribed by the
statute. We presume the amnesty bill
will apply to about 5000 men in this terri
tory. AS to the position" in which it will
place them, 1t may be said generally that it
will place them precisely where they
would have been regarding prosecution
for the offense and the exercise of civil
rights as citizens if they had not vio-
lated the law. They will be entitled to
vote and hold Office as other citizens and
under the same conditions-thati is to say,
upon taking the oath that they will obey
the laws of Congress, and especially the
laws in reference to bigamy and polygamy,
and that they will not, directly or indi-
rectly, aid or abet, counsel or advise, any
person to commit any of the crimes defined
and prohibited in the EDMUNDs and
TUCKER EDMUNDs acts. In short, the status
will be that of all other citizens

THE SILVER DISCUSSION.


The eyes Of the country are at this time
upon the debate in Congress on the bill re-
ported from the committee on coipage to
remoneuze silver. Mr.. BLANp's opening
speech OF Tuesday appears to have been a
mastery presentation on the affirmative
size, receiving the warm applause of e
large majority of the members of the
House. Those who spoke on the other
side evidently realized that they were in
the vocative.
Simultaneous with the opening of the
silver discussion in the House the New
I ork chamber of commerce petitions Con-
gress for q repeal of the bullion bill passed
at the last Congress. The petition refers
to the mischief done by this measure,
though lew in this section will agree with
the reasons alleged. Capitalists in Wall
street. knew what they were about
when they urged upon SHERMAN and the
other representatives of their interests in
Congress the passage of the so-called
compromise silver act. The western Re
publicans who voted for il, if they did not
at the time realize what would be the effect
OF the law, understand it now: and Mr..
BLAND and the other western Democrats
VINO warned them may have the satisfac-
lion OF knowing that it was not the fault Of
the latter that such an unsatisfactory piece
OF legislation was enacted. BLAND and
those who stood with him predicted that
the Bullion bill would degrade silver to q
mere commodity, and now it has no stable
value. 1t goes up and down at the caprice
OF spectators. The output Of silver bull
Ion can be calculated more closely than
the visible supply" OF wheat and
as the supply is limited, in few
hands and easily controlled, it is, of all
commodities, most subject to the machina-
tons Of spectators. The secretary Of the
treasury is required to purchase $500, 600
ounces per month and issue bullion certifi-
Gates in exchange therefor; yet few of
these certificates get into circulation, since
the manipulation of them is part of the BUSH
ness OF those who gamble in the bullion.
The law is delusion and a cheat, as it
was intended to be, and the western Sen
ators and Representatives who voted for it
in the belief that it would make money
more plentiful either betrayed their con-
stituents or showed woful ignorance. They
surrendered the coinage of silver, demone-
tized that metal and got nothing in return.

DON'T MONKEY"
collectit.

1t comes to THE HERALD that in their
eagerness to recover the franchise and
exercise political power certain prominent
MOrmons in Idaho are doing some liyelv
work in behalf of the Republican party.
OF course they are encouraged to this by
the Republican bUsses, who realize that the
party situation is rather desperate. and
heroic measures must be adopted. There
are four counties which can be carried
by the Republicans provided the Nor
mons can be largely induced to vote the
Republican ticket, and we have heard it
said that high churchmen are permitting if
to be circulated among their people that
they would not be averse to giving these
counties to the G. o. p.
The HERALD, with the very best of in
tentlons, would remind these ecclesiastics
that 1t is decidedly dangerous to monkey
with buzz-saw." The Mormons of Idaho
like the Mormons of Utah, and those of
Arizona and Colorado, do not require anv
instruction from the pulpit as to how thew
shall vote. They are more or less familiar
with politics and parties and are fairly
well acquainted with the principles of the
great political organizations. We have
conversed with good many Mormon citi
zens of Idaho, and never yet found one
who didn't know whether he was Demo-
crat or Republican, or who couldn't give
a reason Tor his political faith. They know
to which party they belong, and it will be
well enough not to attempt to influence
them against their belief
1t is not yet known whether or not the
Idaho Mormons will be permitted to req
lister and vote this yesr. The Infamous
test oath law is still in the books and soma
held that while it remains there the Saints
cannot legally exercise the right OF suffrage.
On the other hand there is excellent lepsl
authority for the statement that in the
light of recent actions and declarations ON
the part of the Mormon church, the law
does not stand in the way of Mormous vot-
ing as other citizens. But this may be said
IN perfect confidence, that if the Mornons
do not vote as other people, according 10
their political convictions, the ballot will
prove to be curse rather than a blessing
to them. 1t is a"buzz-sawn which cannot
be ''monkeyedn with in safety.

TIE COLLECTORS OFFICE.

The report made by the city auditor to
the council. on Tuesday evening, showing
the expense of main tanning the office of as
SCISSOR and collector, makes plain two
things-frst, that the practice of paying
the official a percentage for the collection
Of taxes is wrong, and, second, that the
late legislature did a proper thing when
1t provided for the abolition Of the Office
Of assessor and collector. Three and QUE
eighth per cent. of all the money
collected as taxes last year went
for collection expenses. The collector
received as commissions the snug sum of
IS, 522.57, while his Office was maintained at
an additional cost to the taxpayers of 81
$500. 1t is not to be wondered at that the
scramble for the position was so great
the plum being by heavy odds
the best on the municipal tree. There
is nothing about the duties or responsible
ties of the office which demands that
the compensation should be so extrava,
CANT. There is no reason why the collector
should be given more than the mayor, re-
corder and treasurer combined, nor is II
plain why, after the official himself has
been paid so handsomely that the people
should be called upon to also pay for doing
the necessary work Of the office. This is
the last year, as we understand it, that the
city will be compelled to indulge in the
luxury of an assessor and collector, for
which the taxpayers are thankful: but let
US hope that even this year some regard
will be paid to the principles of economy,
and that the auditor will not report that it
has taken 3115 per cent. Of the tax money to
collect Ii

THERE is one point of logic President
HARRISON does not seem to be able to get
over relative to that amnesty proclamation.
II ne is by his act to say the Mormon peo-
pie have abandoned polygamy, and that
they are now honest good citizens, how is
ne to consistently to oppose statehood, or
especially home rule for Utah? And We
can say to the President that that point is
puzzling good many people who concede
one branch of the proposition, but don't
want to concede the other.
