grew while only 25 kernels Of the late thresl-

CANDIDATES. Expenses.

Massachusetts has law requiring can
didates to file sworn itemized statements of
campaign expenses. The statute has been
in the books for some time, but apparently
it does not operate satisfactorily, and the
senate committee on election laws has
favorably reported more stringent bill
on the subject. New York has similar
statute, and the required statement is reg
ularly made under oath.
Such enactments may be right in theory,
though that Is questionable. Their aim is
to prevent the corrupt use of money in poll
tics. But in practice laws of this charac-
date uses money corruptly ne is not going
to tell of it and lay himself liable TO Grim
inal prosecution. Men are not built
that way, and laws cannot re-
construct them according to the
plan proposed. Besides, how are such
statutes TO be enforced2 The fellow who
has the money to expend is shrewd enough
to cover his tracks.
But after all, whose business is it how
much money man spends trying to get an
office! The presumption is that he expects
to get it all back, and in this presumption
is found the only excuse for the law, the
supposition of immortality and corruption
naturally arising. Yet many of those who
contribute largely in such cases do not seek
the offices for the money to be made out of
them. 1t is notorious that seats in the
Senate, as rule, cost far in excess Of their
salaries. Not long ago a well known
! ant
atorship from a certain state cost $500,
600, whilst the salary for the entire
term would amount to only 10 per cent of
that sum. It is generally understood that
the present general gave $780,
600 TO the Republican campaign committee
four years ago, and in return was to re-
ceive place in the cabinet, though the sal
airy going with tbs Office would not pay the
mans living expenses in Washington.
Governor FLOWER. the present executive
Of New York, swore that his campaign ex-
penses last year amounted to $4,000 No.
body thinks he sought the office for the
money to be gotten out of it, and nobody
thinks the millionaire senators 60 to Wash
ington for the cash to be made. 1t is the
so-called honor which they seek and are
willing to pay for. OF course there is i'm
morality in the transaction, and the
practice should be stopped, the offices
going to men by reason of the lstter's quail
ifications; but it may be doubted that the
custom of candidates spending money ir
questionable ways can be suppressed by
statutes requiring sworn statement Of
the sum spent. Hence the calling in ques
tion Of the propriety Of enacting such laws
Statutes which accomplish nothing hac
better be left out of the books.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.


The Democratic convention to be held at
Ogden today will be the largest and grand
est political gathering ever assembled in
Utah. The body will comprise 500 dele
gates, representing every county and every
city and town in Utah, and among the mem
bers will be found many of the foremost
citizens OF the territory. The convention
will be noteworthy and significant in an
important respect, namely, the fact that it
viii embrace men who until within year
or SO were unable to stand on a common
platform of political principles. They were
all Democrats in faith and belief before,
but there were matters of difference
which kept them apart and in
some instances made them antagonistlc
It is not worth while here to discuss
those former differences; it is sufficient TO
say and know that they have all disap-
peared and that the great assemblage at the
junction city today will represent the ma
jority of the people of Utah, without regard
TO religion, sect or previous sentiments,
united OF common ground, their aim and
object being the betterment Of the govern
ment and the firm establishment of those
principles WHICH are pest Tor the rule OF
communities
This very convention, constituted as
it is, more than anything else which
has happened here bears evidence OF the
mighty change which has taken place in
the public mind within the past eighteen
months. The testimony which it presents is
forceful and conclusive and the story which

which has been too long disturbed and oil

little shall be well done, as it certainly

THE NEW SOUTH.

If increase in the assessed valuation of
property be any indication OF growing
prosperity, then truly the southern states
are to be congratulated, for the valua-
ton Of property has increased from
81, 900, 10000 in 1880, to 4,S0O 900, 600 in
1890 Moreover, it is said, that during the
last ten years the production of cotton has
increased more than one-third, and the
quantity consumed by southern mills in
1891 was more than twice as great as that
in 1881. The increase in other products
peculiar to the south, such as tobacco,
sugar, rice, pine and cypress lumber, ETC.,
is equally great. There was time when
the south welded immense influence in
the nation by reason Of her great wealth,
and the outlook at present ia favorable for
her to regain some Of that old prestige, lost
by her unhappy attempt to secede from
the Union and the poverty which followed
the disastrous war which devastated her
fair fields and paralyzed though it could
not destroy the spirit Of her people.
An able writer recently said concerning
the increasing prosperity of the south, and
tbs prospect opening up before it: There
is not elsewhere upon the globe territory
open to the Anglo-Saxon race with such
varied and great resources and such pro-
pitious and easy conditions of lifo and
labor, so abundantly supplied with rivers,
harbors and with Inca of railroad trans
portation, or SO well located to command
the commerce of both hemispheres." That
writer is correct, and we are free to say
that nowhere within the confines of the
Union are there so many resources undo
veloped as in the south. Consequently
there Is no section of the Union where
there is more opportunity for growth ant
increase of influence. These facts carry
with them significant prophecy-they
predict return ct no distant date of mucl
of that prestige once possessed by tn,
south in the effairs Of the Union.

THE TELEPHONE.

We felt assured that in the United States
the telephone was more extensively used
than in any other country, but we were
not aware until recently that there were
more telephones in use in the United States
than in all the countries of Europe com
bined. Yet such is the case In the United
States the number of exchange subscribers,
sccording to the latest available stats tics,
Is 400 900, while in all European countries
combined the number of subscribers only
reaches 1924, distributed as follows:
Germany, 59,0S6; Sweden, 1887; Switzer-
land, 10, 945; Belgium, 6,045; Italy, 10, 48l ];
Great Britain and Ireland, 10000. But
while in the United States there are more
telephones in use than in any other coun-
try, or in all the countries combined, the
telephone is more used in Germany than in
the United States. In this country where
there are 400, 600 exchange telephone sub
scribers there were but 450, 200, 900 CONVEX
sations in the year 1891 while in Germany,
where they have but 59,0S6 exchange sub
scribers there were 223, 600, 600 converse
tons. That is, Germany, with less than
one-eighth Of the number Of exchange sub
scribers had, during 1891, nearly one-hal.
the number Of conversations that were hat
in the United States-e circumstance
which may be sscribed to the fact that thu
telephone service in Germany is cheape
than in the United States.

IDAHO TEST OATH LAW.

The Idaho Falls Times, commenting edi-
torially on the Idaho Mormon disfranchise-
ment law and the present efforts of the
Republicans to make friends with the
Mormons, evidently with tho object Of Sc
curing votes, says:
How can they expect to use this vote which is
declared by their own act to be illegal9 We
cannot understand why, uPon other hypothesis
than that the Republican state returning board
will count this vote if it be Republican, but if
it be Democratic throw ii out in such instances
where it will prove detrimental 10 their inter
ests-
Our contemporary thinks it sees danger,
and suggests that If the law remains in the
books 1t viii be the duty of the Democratic
party to hold the opposition strictly to the
statute, land in doing so we trust that
those who are disfranchlsed by its pro-
visions will see the Justice of the course.
and recognize the spirit in which it is
taken"
The Republicans are equal to the mean
ness suggested. They would lind no fault
with any Mormon voting their ticket, but
would send o Saint to prison who voted
the Democratic ticket. The fact is, if the
Idaho Mormons had not been in the habit
of voting according TO their political con.
yIctions, with the Democrats, there would
have been no test or disfrancnise-
ment laws. However, that is neither
here nor there ct this time. This
law is in the books, and the thing fol-
Democrats to do, it occurs to US, is to take
the necessary steps to get rid of the IN.
American and infamous statute. The law
IS SO clearly unconstitutional that no court

AND NOW the BLAINE folks are getting
in the retaliatory clause on HARRISON in
respect to health. Within the last few
months he has developed paunch of amaz-
ing proportions, his growth of girtn making
him corpulent and pudgy old gentleman.
Besides, there is deepening palior in the
face, and his eyes are swollen and baggy.
These changes show that B. H is entirely
untitled for campaign, and Mr. BLAINE
has been heard to say very recently OF his
chief that Mr.. HARRISON was by no means
in condition to Withstand the wear and
tear Of an exciting political canvass. He
takes little or no exercise, and, whilst there
is no immediate cause for alarm, the phys
ical changes that have taken place in his
condition during the last year will count
very seriously against him.

would sustain 1t, even to gain party adj
vantage. 1t will certainly be possible to
make the test before November, and this
should be done both for the credit Of Idaho
and as an act of justice to large number
of people who have done all in their power
to place themselves in harmony with their
fellow citizens and tea>Iive in accordance
with the sentiment of the age. As the Re
pubiicans enacted the law, it would be too
much to expect them to take the initiative
in the matter of getting rid of it; hence
this work will necessarily devolve on
Democrats. but the statute is so offensive
to the American sense of fairness and
justice, and there has occurred such re-
yulsion Of popular feeling throughout the
state regarding it, that we cannot think it
possible Republicans would interpose OBJ
iections to an immediate judicial test Of the
statute.
