THE BOYD MATTER.

For some reason the Governor BOYD de-
cision was not handed down by the United
States supreme court on Monday, not
withstanding the almost authoritative an
nouncement that the opinion had been
agreed upon and written. 1t is now said
that never before has there occurred an in
stance of leaking" from the court, and it is
possible that the justices were so much put
out and annoyed by the publication of what
their decision would be that they con-
Guided to withhold the opinion; it is
not to be thought of that they
Will reverse their decision for the sake of
getting even with the traitor by proving
that he was liar. If there were no traitor
then some enterprising fellow gloriously
sold the newspaper fraternity. In any
event the facts will come out sooner or
later. Washington correspondent re-
lates that as early as week ago last Mon
day young man approached several news
paper men and asked how much they
would give for an advance outline of the
decision. Negotiations were entered into
and continued until last Thursday when
the young man fixed II o'clock Friday
night when he would deliver the decision.
The Philadelphia Ledger paid SIS, the New
York Times 500, and eighteen other papers
from $50 up, the seller realizing nearly
$1,000, The arrangement was that only
one paper in town should have the mat
ter, but more than one hundred newspapers
published the news on Saturday morning,
only twenty of which had paid for it. In
several instances the price was agreed up
on, but the money was not to be paid until
the decision was rendered aud the good
faith of the man making the sale thus
verified.
If either the court or the newspapers are
eager to expose the guilty parties they
should be able to do so without difficulty.
Meantime, there is little doubt that the
premature. publication of the decision will
delay the handing down of the opinion

CHICAGO TO SINK,

An engineer has made a mathematical
calculation and as result he boldly pro-
claims that Chicago is doomed to early de-
struction. There is no religious crankiness
IN this prediction, no Sodom and Gomor-
rah business. The engineer says that the
soil and substrata of the city are incap-
able OF carrying the colossal structures for
the Worlds exposition. He has figured it
out that the weight of the contemplat
monuments and buildings must cause a de-
preston of the ground which will engulf
the city and the exposition. He
asserts that the action of the waves
Of Lake Michigan has undermined
and washed out the soil of the
city so that the stratum of earth upon
which Chicago stands has thickness of
only sixteen feet and is consequently too
weak to carry the colossal exposition
When the depression of the ground occurs
the city will sink TO stratum forty feet
deeper than the present surface, and in
this respect Chicago will offer a spectacle
never produced by any other worlds ex-
position.
This story was first published in a Ger
man paper, and some of the other news
papers thought it would be unwise to
notice it, lnasmuch as the prediction
might alarm the timid, but now the enter
prising journalists of the lake city are
booming the business, holding the sinking
act out as an attraction which should draw
better than any other feature of the big
show. People are urged to come early
aud secure good seats.

hold their annual convention at ST. Paul
to-day, and it is believed preliminary
moves will be made towards fusing with
the Democrats in the electoral ticket. IG.
DoNNELLY's plan is to divide the state
ticket so that in the election the Democrats
would have electors and the Alliance 4:
Congressman, Democrats, 4, Alliance, 3;
the Alliance to have the governor, secre-
tary of state and attorney general, and the
Democrats the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and

A STRAIGHT TICKET.

THE HERALD has received another COM
nunication advising that the "good citi
zens, without regard to party politics, ~
will unite in an effort to ''wrest the CITY
from the crowd now in control.n We do
not publish the letter, for the reason that
it contains no new points, merely express
ing the fear that if the better elements do
not combine the Liberals will carry the cleo
ton and the city will be subjected to Two
years more of misrule, recklessness ard
iawlessness.
HE HERALD has on several occasions
expressed itself on this matter, and in do
ing SO has correctly stated what it believes
to be the position of all Democrats. We
are in favor first, last and all the time of a
ticket made up from top to bottom of first
class men, whose qualifications for the re-
spective officers for which they will be
named cannot be called in question, and we
insist that every one of the nominees shall
be as good Democrat as he is
a cltizen-a man who believes
In the principles of government
as taught by the Democracy, and who will
do his utmost to put those principles into
practical man who believes that the best
government is Democratic government.
We believe in going before the voters
with such ticket, and asking all good men
without regard TO party" to help the De-
mocracy to rescue the city from the 5anger
which threatens. If there are citizens and
taxpayers who prefer misrule inflicted bv
their own party to good government ad-
ministered by Democrats they will as a
matter of course, vote another than the
Democratic ticket, and if their ticket shall
be elected and misrule follow it Will not be
the fault of the Democracy.
TIE HERALD hopes there are enough
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-01-06

good men and property-owners who will
see the evil of continuing this city under
the rule of the party now in power, to
elect the Democratic ticket and thus not
only avert the disaster which threatens,
but put Salt Lake on the high road to pro-
gress and prosperity; but we are unalter-
ably opposed to trading principles for
votes even in these times when votes are
so valuable. The Democracy is going to
believe that it will win; but win or lose, it
is going to maintain its self-respect and
feel conscious of having been true to itself
and its professions. Hence, there might
as well come an end of all talk, SO far as
Democrats are concerned, OF citizens or

London, Nov. 29.---The Post, discussing
the currency question and the conference
at Brussels, complains that Senator Allison
is representative merely of the silver party
in the United States, and that therefore lit
tie can be hoped for from the conference, as
there will be- no chance to util-
ize silver as Il subsidiary cur
rency. The Vienna correspondent Of the
Chronicle says: "The American proposals
at the Brussels monetary conference being
a repetition of the bi-metallic programme
rejected at the conferences Of 1873 and 1881,
have caused disappointment here, as they
fail to supply basis for further discus
YER market. Rothschiids proposal is also
regarded with anxiety" The Times Brus-
sells correspondent says that the first de-
bates Of the conference Justify the belief
that it will yield only negative results. and
that so far the Americans have found the
support of only the Dutch delegates, all
others maintaining strict reserve, and es-
pecially those from Germany and Austria.

The Wheat blockade,

Huron. S. D., Special, Nov. 29. 9.Chairman
Rice, Of the state railway commission, went
to the southern part of the state to-day to
secure, IL possible, a break in the wheat
blockade. He estimates that over million
bushels of wheat are stored in warehouses
and elevators on various lines of road i'll
South Dakota awaiting shipment. The
Northwestern has added ten locomotives to
the Dakota Centra! division the past week,
and is doing it's utmost to relieve the over
burdened elevators and warehouses. Over
200 car loads have been sent from this i'm
mediate vicinity during the past twenty
four hours. On this division alone over
100000 bushels of wheat were shipped
to Eastern markets last month. The deen
snow in the northern part of the state will
delay threshing and hauling of grain to
market, and thus give the railways an op-
portunity to relieve points where buying has
ceased because of no storage. The present
bF9ekat3e Is worse than that experience of
last november and is likely to continue till
the middle of February. The Milwaukee,
line has added largely to its rolling stock
but is unable to meet the demands of ship
pers. At many points on that line buyers
have given notice to farmers not to haul
grain to market as it could not be received.
