UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.

1t is well to discount most of the rumors
put in circulation regarding changes in the
management of railroads, in the policy to
be pursued by the management and so on.
Just now there is much talk about GOULD
and DILLON again surrendering the control
of the Union Pacific, it being said that the
change will be made at the meeting to be
held in New York this week. The HERALD
hopes this is one of the rumors which need
not be discounted; not that GOULD and Dill
LON are not among the foremost railway
managers of the time, nor that they are
wanting in interest in Utah. Both these
gentlemen have ever shown themselves
good friends of this territory, and
since the great road came I'M
der their control we believe the
popular complaints have been fewer. AT
the same time we think change would be
better, especially if the new management
shall be progressive and aggressive and
broad enough of mind to grasp the situa-
ton.
When GOULD stopped the extension to
Phoebe it was q mistake The line had been
graded, the ties contracted for and some of
them obtained, and a portion of the iron
was on the ground. The track should have
been laid. That mistake ought now to be
rectifed, and the road completed to the big
mining district in southeastern Nevada.
We hope the new management, if there is
to be one, will reverse Nj. GoULD's policy
in this matter, and then we hope the line
will be continued to Los Angeles and San
Diego as speedily as possible. Such road
would prove the salvation of the
Union Pacific. 1t would be worth
half-a- dozen Oregon Short Lines.
1t would create and develop a local
business that would astonish the owners
it would build up mighty iron industry
in the southern part of this territory; it
would control the coal traffic of California,
and the fruit carrying business would
practically be surrendered to it. the line
bringing the vineyards and orchards OF
southern and central California twenty
four hours closer to the great markets OF
the east.
If the changes in the company will re-
suit in the construction of the line tc
Phoebe and so through to the Pacific ocean,
THE HERALD hopes the changes will be
made, for we believe that whilst The ex.
tension would pull the Unicn Pacific ''out
OF the hole" it would prove everything tt
Utah, in the way of development.

NEGRO QUESTIONS.

There are indications of revival of the
Republican cry of negro persecution in the
south. A delegation of colored people have
lately visited Washington, and the Presi-
dent has assured them of his sympathy in
the consideration of measures to repress
southern outrages." An organization has
been effected in ST. Louis based upon the
incensed feelings aroused by recent lynch
ings Of black men in different parts of the
south.
These belong to a character of movement
always springing up in advance of a Presi-
dental election. Their uses are two-fold.
They serve to repress the complaint
against the treatment they receive at the
hands OF the Republican politicians in not
being placed in representative capacity
on their state and local tickets, and to fire
the northern heart SO as to keep alive the
embers of hate against the southern sec
ton Of the country. That, at any rate Is
their purpose. AS long as negro com
planning of the ingratitude of the Republi-
can party can be reminded of the way in
which they say the negroes of the south are
treated by the Democrats" the party of
great moral ideas feels it has achieved q
triumph.
1t appears TO be in vain, north or south.

law against brutal enemies OF mankind. in
times of furious excitement. Humanity |
will rise superior to law, and when black
brute cruelty uses ferocious strength to
oyerpower youthful, innocent and helpless
virtue, humanity is apt to forget that this
barbarity cau come from one of COPS crea-
lures, and to VOW he must not live. Human
laws can furnish neither preventive nor
punishment for the savage, terrorizing as
sault of the tiger, but human will can gen.
orally prevent a second manifestation by
the same animal, and it instinctively de-
sires to do it instantly. This impulse of
our natures is restricted to no age, or sex,
and, we may add, to no previous condition
Of servitude." All creeds, all politicians
denounce lynch law-and all alike are
thrilled by the same stern edict which so
often refuses to await the slow process of
the courts in cases where verdicts, howso-
ever severe, can give no adequate penalty
or correction.
But whilst the Republican party of the
north is preparing its regular quadrennial
programme of southern outrages, it Is well
not TO forget that there is white Republi-
can party in the south, which knows how
false ard unjust the projected crusade is,
These Republicans, as recently shown in
their Texas convention, not only declare
that the negroes are not qualified to take
intelligent part in public affairs, but are
not fit to associate with at all. There
never will be time when the white peo-
pie in the southern states will consent to
be governed, either in the public admins
tration or in party nominations. by the
blacks. 1t makes no difference whether
the whites are Democrats or Republicans,
there is an utter aversion to negro DONNA
ton, and if similar conditions existed in
any state in the north the same aversion
would be exhibited there.
The southern people, left to themselves,
are friendly to the negroes, when they be-
have themselves. If the negroes are to en-
joy any advancement it must be with the
cooperation of the white Democrats, and
if the Force bill which the Republicans are
now declaring themselves in favor Of,
should ever become law, let the blacks
take care how far their northern pretended
friends encourage them to become the
enemies of the whites.

1HE FAIR MONEY.

The Worlds fair commission has sent out
number Of requests to capitalists and
business men asking them to give personal
guarantees in small sums Tor the pay
ment of the money to be borrowed for the
exhibition expenses. The banks have
agreed to loan the money at reasonable
rate Of interest, provided the guarantee be
given. We do not think the risk is great.
Our belief is that the legislature of 1894
will recognize the obligation as one binding
upon the territory, and will promptly make
the necessary appropriation to take up the
notes. Many OF our leading citizens have
already sent in their names, signifying
their readiness to comply with the request
of the commission, and others should do so
at once, that the money may be obtained
and the preparatory fair work proceeded
with. The great exhibition will be opened
in lust year, hence there is no time to
spare. If Utah is going to appear at the
fair she must bestir herself; that is to
say, if the territory is going to appear
in anything like creditable manner.
The work to be done will require all the
time yet remaining for it must be under
stood that up TO date absolutely nothing
has been done beyond the organization of
the commission and the devising of the
scheme by which it is proposed to obtain
the money.
No one will pretend to say that Utah
should not appear at the fair. All will say
that the territory should put her best foot
forward in the great show, making a COM
prehensive exhibit of her vast resources
and showing to the world those things
which sbounS here that tend to induce i'm
migration and the investment of capital
There is no other state or territory in the
far west, with the single exception of Cali
fornia, which can make better or more
attractive exhibit than Utah.
1t seems to US that the well-wishers o.
the territory should interest themselves il
this matter and see TO it that Utah loses nj
points through failure to put in a credit

INTERNATIONAL SILVER CONFERENCE.


We cannot but think the silver men are
making mistake in opposing an interna-
tional conference on the subject OF the
rehabilitation of the white metal The
mistake is in this, that opposition to the
proposed conference will be construed as
confession Of fear of ability to present the
cause of silver in such a manner as TO
convince Of its rightfulness. 1t seems to
US that all the forceful arguments are on
the side of silver. In no controversy yet
held have the silver advocates been
worsted in the righteousness of their
showings. They have both logic and ex-
perience on their side, whilst the pleas of
the opposition are largely confined to
theory. The latter do not pretend to rely
upon what financial history has taught,
but attempt to sustain themselves by bold
and unsupported declarations that dire re-
suits will follow the reconciliation Of
silver. Under these circumstances it ap-
pears to US that the silver peo-
pie should court such q confer
ence as is proposed, in which
TO make their arguments. 1t must be con-
fessed that it would be better to convince
the fnanciers of all the great nations than
to carry the point with out one, for whilst
the United States are perhaps strong
enough 10 remonetize silver, it would be a
good deal better and much easier to do this
If the great commercial powers were to
join with Us.
1t occurs 10 Us that the only ground for
objection is that Of delay. 1t may be feared
! by some that if America were to enter the
conference the question would be dropped
here until the international decision had
been reached. This objection is not valid,
and need not be unless the silver men make
it SO by disseminating the agitation. The
educational campaign should be proceeded
with as vigorously as ever with the view
! TO reconciliation in this country
whatever the decision of the Euro
pean governments may be. 1t is already
as good as settled that free coinage
viii not come during the present admins
tration. 1t is doubted that q free coinage
bill can pass either house Of Congress, bu
it is not probable that IN the event of 1t:
passage it would have sufficient majority t
overcome the executive veto certain to fol
low, hence we may as well cease to expec
any beneficial silver legislation this sid,
of the Congress to be chosen next fall.
Therefore it seems to THE HERALD tn
part of wisdom for the friends of silver Il
encourage rather than oppose the interna
tional conference suggestion, meantime
carrying on the campaign throughout tn
country in the hope of electing a msiorit,
in the next Congress. No point will b
lost by this course, nor will the slightes
delay be occasioned.

"wHY WAS ANANIAs KILLEDg'

'Some people are born mean, some hav-
ing been so born seem to seek every oppor-
tunity to expand their natural talent"

proceeded to say that Hon. JOHN L. GAME
wired the Washington dispatch IN Fridays
HERALD which declared that Senator FL ATT
was in favor of bills for the admission OF
Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma
to the Union after the coming Presidential
election. The Tribune did this, at the same
time knowing that Mr.. GAME had no more
to do with the sending of the telegram than
President HARRISON or Senator SHERMAN.
In Sundays HERALD our Washington
correspondent fully explained his telegram
of Friday ana told where he obtained his
information, which came from two mem :
bers of Senator Platt's committee; and, by
the way, these Senators place the gentle
man from Connecticut IN very tight box
from which it will be exceedingly difficult

respondents plain statement of facts, in
which it appears that Mr.. GAME could
possibly have had nothing to do with the
first telegram or with the matter in contro-
yersy, as he is not in the Senate, much less
member of the committee on territories,
our contemporary repeats it's former lie
concerning the delegate, and with brutal
ity and viciousness assaults the gentleman
further. Truly, 'some people are born
