were attached, together with the veto mes
sages. This is good, SO far as it goes. 1t
will serve to illustrate one great evil COM
planned of, and being short and directly to
the point it may confidently be expected
that the matter win be gotten before con-
siderable number of the Senators and Rep
resentatives.
But more than this should be done.
There should be made, up and forwarded
to Washington the complete record Of the
session, the record to contain the full text
OF every bill passed accompanied by
the veto, together with clear and
succinct statement Of why the bill was
passed-the necessity or demand for it..
We cannot imagine anything that would
plead for US with greater force than such a
statement 1t would be such a record of
wrong-doing and oppression on the part of
the governor, such a story of the denial of
right by an American official to American
citizens, such wiilful and wicked inter.
ference by the executive, such shameless
abuse of tyrannous power, as has
never before been unfolded. 1t could not fail
OF good results unless all Congressman are
as heartless as the governor, as arbitrary,
unreasonable and un-American as he, and
as subservient to the commands of unprin-
cipled political bosses.
| We hope this record will be made up,
duly verified and forwarded TO the national
capital, not in the expectation that it can
be brought to the knowledge of all Con-
gressmen, but in the belief that some can
be induced to learn the story of the cruelty
and oppression practiced upon this unfor-
tunate territory.

B. H. KNEELs TO QUAY.

One of The most amusing and instructive
episodes of politics is seen in the changing
situations of the Washington administra-
ton towards Senator Quay, of Pennsyl-
vanis. 1t is known to almost every body
that the state of New York was carried
for HARRIsoN by means of a bargain
through Quay, then chairman of the Re
publican National committee, by which
JOHN WANAMAKER was to raise a large
sum Of campaign money, in return for
which he was to have position in the
cabinet in event of the success of the Re-
publican ticket. This part of the agree
ment MIR. HARRISON carried out, though he
did not by any means subscribe to the as
sumption that the vote of New York in his
favor was contingent upon the negotia-
tons. The President affected to be
shocked and outraged by QUAY's methods
in Pennsylvania, and after the de-
feat of DELAMATER for governor,
and when the treasury scandals
came about, he caused it to be
known that it would be agreeable to him if
the keystone Boss were to retire from the
head of the national committee. QUAY,
with shrug OF the shoulder acceded, and
his example was followed by BlocKs- of
Five DUDLEY, who was likewise under the
Presidents ban for having been caught. 1t
will be recollected that the committee in
accepting the resignation of these digni-
taries commended them in the highest
terms for their success, as a salve for their
wounds.
Thenceforth there was blood on the moon,
and the relations of the President and the
Senator have been warlike in the extreme.
Recently MIR. HARRISON ordered the dis
charge of nearly all the government en-
ployees credited to the Pennsylvania Boss
and the remaining ones prepared to ''ever-
lastingly do up" that worthy. Prepare
tons were making to defeat the Senator al
the next election, and everything in short
betokened prolonged and CORY conflict,
when 10 shrill whistle is heard and the
tumult dwindles to a sudden calm

set such store. and has INSTRUCTED the ad-

from Florida will call upon the President
at the latter's request, and peace will be

THE GOVERNORS PEDESTAL.


From the precincts whence come the
most important of Governor THOMAS pub
lie documents, to-wit: The Tribune Office,
we are officially informed that The
HERALD's criticisms do not reach even
the pedestal on which the governor
stands" Like ACHILLES, then, he is vulner-
able onlyin the heel, having been dipped
in some supernatural fluid which makes
man shaft-proof. The Tribune appears to
be quite right for His High Mightiness is
as stony and impenetrable as any other
petrifaction standing on pedestal And
what piece of statuary he makes as the
apotheosis of tyrannous power
Let US say to the Tribune that the memo
rial pedestals which attract the admiration
and win the tributes of American citizens
90 not bear the statues of AJAX
or HERoDIUs, but rather of JEFFERSON and
PATRICK HENRY. Those rulers are crowned
with the bays of popular homage who serve
the people, instead of seeking pretexts to
Cypress and vex them; who recognize the
rights of representation in public affairs
who freely contribute of their substance in
support of their country's dignity and
honor, demanding in reason the opportun-
ity only to see that the same is not misap-
piled.
Don't talk about an executive standing
on any pedestal of worthiness who mocks
the peoples chosen agents and representa-
tives, who humiliates the peoples spokes-
men and proxies. There is nothing in the
organic law, favorable as it is to the gov
ernor's office, which empowers him to dc
this, or IN the condition of things in the ter
ritory which iustiies him in doing it. He
has shown a miserably contracted, if not a
malicious, spirit, along with his audacious
assumption of power.

ANOTHER MEMORIAL.

In another part of this issue we print in
adopted by the Legislative Assembly on
Friday. Early in the session the Assembly
adopted and forwarded to Congress a
memorial setting forth some of the griev-
ances Of this territory, and humbly plead
ing for relief at the hands of the national
legislature. 1t was concise and mastery
paper, and as true as it was vigorous 1t
recited our sufferings; it told of the abuse
of official power by men in authority; of
the arbitrary and cruel exercise of the alb
solute veto power; of the loyalty, patriot
ism ana trustworthiness OF the people, and
of their eagerness to he freed from the
wrongs and expressions heaped upon them,
and concluded with humble yet manly
appeal for Home Rule, that evils in govern
ment might be cured, the rights of citizens
enjoyed and the territory be permitted to
travel the road which leads to prosperity
and greatness. The Memorial read like a
truly voiced the sentiments and plant of
four-htths of the people OF Utah without
regard to politics or creed.
Now at the close of the session the AS
sembly finds it necessary TO forward
another memorial, pleading for the relief
which has not come and protesting against
the wicked abuse of Official authority by
which most of the work of the past sixty
days has been nullifed. and the will of the
people as expressed by their representatives
thwarted. This second document is an il
lustratiou and yer ifcstion of the former
paper. 1t proves by the citation of i'm
mediate and direct instances the gross
abuse of the absolute veto, and emphasizes
the fact of this abuse by appealing to Con
gress to appropriate from our treasury our
own money in order that we may not be
denied representation in the Worlds fair.
| 1t is shame that such paper should be
necessary. That il is necessary is appar
ent to all. The arraignment is of the
governor who exercises his autocratic
power like tyrant, and of the infamous
system CT government under which the
territory suffers. If these memorials dc
not reach the hearts of Congressman and
fetch the relief that is demanded, then in
deed we are in deplorable condition.

BOUND HAND AND FOOT.

The Indiana state convention which has
just named HARRISON delegation to Min
neapolis, reaffirmed the Repu plican national
platform of 1888 with its demand for pro-
lection for protectors sake, and approved
of the legislation of the last Congress- on
this subject. Nowhere and at no time since
the elections of 1890, when the people SO
overwhelmingly repudiated that policy, has
Republican in any station advocated
amendment of the tariff laws. The author
OF the MCKINLEY bill hoped in the last Con-
gress that the present one would restore
the duty on binding Irvine, which the
Senate cut down, but no movement
for such restoration has as yet
been made. In snort, whilst the
Republicans learned enough by the election
of 1890 not to undertake to raise the duties
imposed by the KINLEY tariff in the face of
an overwhelming majority in the House, they
did not learn enough to undertake, in the
face of the northeastern manufacturers
to remedy the evils that the west and
south complain of. The Republican mem
bers are bound hand and foot. They dare
not move and they could not move II they
dared to try. They may commiserate the
aggrieved victims of the MCKINLEY rob-
berry, but they will do nothing to reduce
theirburdens. The feeble remonstrances
OF western Republicans are silenced by the
stern orders of the northeastern Senators
and Representatives.

cents; and on cabbage cents head.
But now for the philosophy of these
tariff duties. The only country chat could
send US these commodities Is Canada, and
Canada cannot send us enoug b
to influence the market. The duties
may have the effect of keep
ing out small quantities Of produce from
the provinces, but this would benefit few
small farmers in New England alone, and
be of no perceptible advantage to the farm
ers of the agricultural west. And besides,
the surplus cereals, hay, meats and live
cattle raised in the west go east to market
and it would take these duties to pay
freight on them.
How, then. can the Is cents duty on
corn, the 81 u ton duty on hay or the 25
cents on potatoes benefit a Utah, an Idaho
or Colorado farmer when the whole of it
would be exhausted in getting his crop to
the seaboarG2

sRohT TARIFF LESSONS.

Occasionally one sees in the high tariff
newspapers, feeble effort to make it ap-
pear that the agricultural interests are
protected by the MCKINLEY act as well as
the manufacturers. They do this by calling
attention to the fact that that act imposes an
import duty on grain. farm yard products,
etc. But they do not, of course, tell the
whole story. The duty on oats is 10 cents
bushel; butter. cents pound; beans,
40 cents bushel; eggs, 5 cents dozen !;
hay, 81 ton; potatoes, 25 cents bushel
haxseed, 30 cents bushel; bacon and
