an invitation of Grand Master Sweeney
OF the Switchmen's Union" He said so
far as he knew his order had no griev-
ances to right. He thought the demands
OF the switchmen were just, but strongly
condemned the recent lawlessness. Clark

back home. The switchmen, of which

not interfere in the strike, as it had de-
finite contracts with all the railroad COM

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The after-effects
OF the recent great strikes in the build

way the Board OF Walking Delegates and
laboring men did not anticipate. While
the men have returned to work, and to
all appearances are satisfied, there is
great bitterness of feeling, and move
ment is on foot to do away with the board
entirely.
1t is said by man high in the councils
OF the local labor unions that within
three months the Board of Walking Dele
gates will have ceased to exist. The men
nave certainly lost confidence in their

THE TIMBER AND The MEADOW.

The power and influence Of comparisons
in argument are seen in the correspondence
between the British minister and our state
department. on the sealing controversy. In
the course of one of his letters, Mr.. BLAINE
says:
Holding an arbitration as to the rigbtful mode
of taking seals while their destruction goes for
ward would be as If while an arb tration to the
title OF timber land was in progress one party
should remove all the trees.
To which PAUNCEFoTE replies:
The case is more like one OF arbitration re-
specting the title to meadow. While the ar
bitration is going on we cut the grass; and,
quite rightly, for the grass will be reproduced
next year and so will the seals.
The state department retorts in this
fashion:
He can hardly mean by this illustration that
being in contention with q neighbor regarding
the title TO meadow he could by any prece-
dent in the equity courts, or by any stane ard Of
common honesty, be justified in pocketing the
whole, or any part OF the gains Of a harvest.
without accountability to the adverse claimant
whose exclusive title was afterward estab-
lished. 1t is no answer for the trespasser 10
say that the true owner will have an undimin-
ished harvest next year. Last years harvest
was his also.
At another point the illustration is re-
Cured to and characterized as inapt, IN
that the seals not taken this year may be
taken next, whilst the grass must be har-
vested or lost" So we think our side got
the better of the British lion, at least in a
metaphorical point Of view.

TIE LEGISLATURE.


TIE HERALD has only words of praise for
the late legislature. The record that has
been made is better than anybody familiar
with the circumstances, the situation and
all the facts had the right to expect. Most
OF the members were new to the business
OF law-making, they were unfamiliar with
legislative work. and we understand that
som cor them had never been inside of
legislative chamber. They were clear
headed men, however; they were men of
affairs and of practical experience in the
world. They brought with them knowl-
edge OF what their observations had taught
them was necessary in the way Of new
laws or amendments to existing statutes.
Above all, they came with honesty of heart
and purpose, and with determination
to do for the best, without regard to fear
or favor. The result has been a session of
the Assembly marked by steady devotion
to duty, by hard work, by consistency and
by the absence of everything suggestive of
1oooery. There has been no hint of crook
edness in any measure proposed by mem
beri and trading and juggling, so often con-
splcuous IN legislatu res, have been IN
known.
1t is true the net results of the session,
so lar as new laws are concerned, will not
be large. The pages of the statute book
will not be materially increased by reason
OF the winters labor. But this is not the
fault of the Assembly and will not be
charged against it. The members have
worked hard and faithfully, vast
ing no time. They gave their
abilities and their days to the
business in hand, and their commentator
| and praise are as great as If all their efforts
had been fruitful. They did the work and
did it conscientiously and well, and if their
labors were largely nullified and brought to
naught the blame rests upon the governor,
who seems to have mistaken his legitimate
and proper functions and given himself up
to tearing down and undoing what better
and ahler men than he created and built
up. Many of the very best bills which
reached him were vetoed, we believe in a
spirit Of unadulterated meanness. Bills
upon which days of time and to which
the best thought of gentlemen in and out
of the Assembly had been given were
ruthlessly killed by the executive with
out valid reason or shadow OF excuse.
If it had been known in advance
what the tyrant governor was going to do,
the sixty days session might have been
cut down to twenty, the outcome being pre-
cisely what it is.
However, the end has come, the session
is concluded, the record made up. We are
pleased with the record SO far as the Dem
ocratic members are concerned, and we
are confident their constituents will APP
prove their labors. We believe the gentle
men will return to their homes conscious
of having performed their whole duty tc
those who sent them here.
The Democracy are ready to go before
the country on the work performed by tbs
first Democratic legislature.

THE AMENITIES OF POLITICAL DEeAqE&

Intelligent American citizens whose
views and interests are broad enough to
make them glad to profit by the experience
of other countries" says talented writer,
Twill not object to timely reminder of the
disadvantage at which we appear when our
methods III practical politics are compared
with English methods England still main
tains privileged classes, an established
church, and hundred medieval anomalies
in her laws and government that do vic
lence to our American theories of individual
equality, local self rule and modern insti-
tutionsl and political symmetry And these
survivals that eontravene the modern spirit
furnish the fghting-ground for Lib
erals and Conservatives. The kind
of questions that divide parties in England
were practically all settled by our Ameri-
can forefathers fully hundred years ago.
and their settlement is accepted by every
body. But in England there are certain
principles and rules governing the conduct
of political fight that all parties are agreed
in respecting; and any political leader who
should be found guilty of abetsing their
violation would be ostracized by his own
party. Those rules require electoral fair
ness and honor. They condemn corruption
and technical tricks intended to defeat the
popular will"
The writer could have gone further still
than this, and said there is also certain
propriety governing debate in Eng
land-at least in parlismeHt-that is
not observed in America. Doubtless
he would have included this item
of gentlemanly conduct in debate among
those things which Americans can learn
from their English cousins if he had had
before HIM the report of the discussion on
the tariff question in the House of Repre-

might as well be abandoned at once and for

might as well be abandoned at once and for
all time
Ever since this was made the capital
it has been understood that the fixing
upon this city was definite and permanent.
Not only have the people Of Salt Lake I'M
derstood this. but the citizens of the terri
tory generally. They have all recognized
the fact that this is the proper place or
the capital; that it is central and is more
easily reached by all the people than any
other city that the town is more pleasantly
situated than any other in the territory;
that it is the chief city of Utah and will
forever stand at the head of the list; that
it possesses in larger degree than any
other city the facilities, the conveniences,
the qualifications and the essentials re-
quired in the capital.
At the several sessions of the legislature,
when propositions have come up for the
establishment OF public institutions, by
common consent it has been understood
that these institutions should go elsewhere,
for Salt Lake was the capital, here would
be the capitol building, here the seat of the
government. The asylum for the insane
was given to Provo, and has been treated
most generously, more money being voted
to 1t than the territory could afford. The
Reform School was placed at Ogden by
common consent. The next big public in
stitution, the Agricultural College, was
given to Logan, and it has been provided
for almost lavlshly. Salt Lake has insisted
upon none of these. When it shall come
time TO establish other territorial or state
institutions they will be given to other
cities, so that every section shah have it's
full share, and in proportion to Salt Lake,
much more than it's full share.
But this city will remain the capital
Every other place might as well understand
this now, and cease to hunger for change,
for no change win be made. In all proba-
bility the next legislature will make pro-
vision for beginning the erection Of Capt.
toll, and Salt Lake will expect as generous
treatment when it comes to that as has been
shown to other places.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-03-13
THE CAPITAL.

Before the legislative session opened
there came hint that an effort would be
made to remove the capital from Salt Lake.
II was merely hint and annoyed nobody,
for nobody believed for moment that
anybody would be so foolhardy as TO at
tempt the thing. People simply smiled at
the suggestion. 1t was SO ludicrous that
the matter did not come up in the Assembly
until towards the closing hours Of the ses-
sion, when it was mentioned, and then for
the first time 1t appeared that Two or three
people were really in earnest in thinking
that another than Salt Lake could be made
the capital city. At the same time there
was also manifest such sentiment in op-
position as made it plain, even to those few
who favor the scheme, that the removal is
out of the question, and that the project
