The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-09-13

In HIS late letter of acceptance President
HARRISON devotes some dozen or sixteen
lines to half-hearted approval of a half
sincere plank in the Republican platform
relative to civil service reform. Mr. HAIR
RIsoN's talk is not in accordance with his
actions. The Washington Post. which
eulogizes the letter on all other points,
makes the following sharp and incisive
criticism:
But no assurance OF his will ever reinstate
the commission and its work in public respect
and confidence SO long as he retains at It's head
man who. while he was president OF the
board, promoted his own brother-in.law, not
only without examination as to his technical
fitness but in the full knowledge that he had
rendered himself morally ineligible by the COM
mission of penal ofense. The country would
much rather have heard that the president, in
care for the commissions reputation, had re-
moved Mr.. LYMAN and appointed in his stead
an officer whose personal character and honora-
bic record would involve guarantee OF fidelity.

SHUT THEM our.

1t strikes US that about the most effective
plan for keeping the cholera out of this
country would be the one heretofore sug
gested of refusing to permit the landing of
immigrants from infected ports. This plan
would also have the merit of punishing the
shipowners who persist in bringing across
the water hundreds and thousands of peo-
pie who, the natural superstition is, haYe
the germs of the disease. For weeks peo-
pie by the hundreds have been dying in
Hamburg, in which city the deaths are SO
numerous that corpses lie for hours and
sometimes for days before they are buried,
the authorities being unable to remove the
bodies. That is great point of embarka-
ton for America, more emigrants sailing
from that port than from any other in con-
tinental Europe. The emigrants spend
from week to month at Hamburg before
cmbarking, living, as g matter of
course, in the poorest and fllthiest
quarter of the city. If there are cholera
germs about they will be certain to find
them. Since the outbreak of the epidemic
several Hamburg vessels have sailed TO
America with emigrants, one of them
having more than q thousand steerage
passengers on board. and cholera was
brought by every one of these steamers.
Lower harbor at New York is full OF
quarantined ships, and at the quarantine
station there are $500 people awaiting
death or chance to reach the city.
1t is an outrage that these steamship
companies should thus endanger the
American community for the sake of the
fare money Of the disease laden wretches.
1t would serve the companies right if they
were compelled TO take their infected
hordes back to Europe We don't know
what authority the president has
in the premises, but if the laws per-
NIT the public would sustain him in the
issuance of proclamation absolutely for
bidding immigration from cholera-infected
ports until all danger of the pest being
brought to this country was passed.

THE CHINESE TO FIGHT.

If the announcement which came over
the wires on Saturday to the effect that the
Chinese Six Companies had concluded to
resist the operations of the new Chinese
exclusive act, and would employ eminent
lawyers to fight the law is cor
rect some interesting complications
may arise. and it is not improba-
BILE that our own courts may decide
against our own Congress in this case. The
right to keep Chinese out of the country
cannot be called in question. That is
within the legitimate scope of the sover-
eign power Of the government. The Chi
nese may be kept ont entirely or they may
be admitted under such conditions as may
be imposed by the law-making power.
All China can do or the most it
can do under the circums tances is to break
off diplomatic relations and cease to be on
friendly terms with. the United States.
But another question is brought up by the
new Chinese act. The law requires the
Chinese now here to register with the
internal revenue officers, to have them
selves photographed and wear tag as it
were. 1t is this humiliating provision that
the Six Companies are going to fight, and
we cannot help but think they are right
and will win. While we Gun and have said
that no more Chinese shall come, those
now here are in the country by the same
permission that allows other foreigners to
land and live here They are protected
by treaty obligations aud our own
laws as much as men from any
other country on the globe, and we have no
better moral or legal right to tag them for
Identification or subject them 20 other in
dignities than we would have to do the
same things to Canadians or Mexicans.
The law provides that the Chinaman who
does not have the prescribed certificate at
the end of one year from the passage of the
act may be arrested and sent out of the
country. Suppose none of the bias eyed
fellows take out these certificates, thus
obeying the Six Companies, what would
the government do about it, To pay the
railway fare of the hundreds of thousands
of the Mongolians to the point of embarka-
ton and their passage money across the
ocean would take o vast sum of money, and
as only $50, 900, we believe, was appropri-
ated for carrying the law into effect, we do
Lot imagine many heathens will be de-
ported.
We rather hope the Chinese will make
the fight they propose, that our courts may
be required to judiciahy decide whether or
not the government can legally indulge in
such pettiness.

Is 1T A REVOLUTIONS

A telegram from Ell Paso brings news of
trouble between the Mexican government
ana Indians in Sonora There have been
several engagements between the federal
soldiers and the uprising natives, who have
captured general and his staff. The af-
fair seems to be OF rather serious nature,
and it is somewhat strange that the partic-
ulars have been withheld from the public
so long.
A gentleman who has resided in that
country for years and is familiar with the
people and their grievances, informs US that
the news man is wrong in locating the
trouble in Sonora, and making the Indians
Of that state participants in the difficulty.
He says that the outbreak is in what was
the Guerrero district, on the east side of
the Sierra Madre mountains, hundreds of
miles from Sonora. The disccntented In
dams embrace the strongest aud most en-
lightened native race in the republic, the
Tarumaries who have 10000 men capable
of bearing arms. Their chief city is Tom
ssche, place of 5000 or 5000 population.
and they have villages extending to the
country Of the warlike Ysquis, who are in
sympathy with them. Our informant be-
lieves the present demonstration is the be-
ginning of what will end in a revolution
completely overthrowing the government.
Perhaps he is right in his estimate.
Nominally repu bic. Mexico lacks much
of being republican in its government as
we understand the term. 1t is probably as
complete military despotism as can be
10 ~ ot,
ity is subordinate to the military civil pro-
cesses and methods are ignored, especially
throughout the northern tier Of states.
where the native population are little bet
ter than slaves to the army and the rich
landlords To make matters worse, the
Mexican army. as is well known, is about
the toughest formation possible, being
made up largely Of convicted criminals.
Mexico thinks 1t a waste of material and
force to support prisoners in idleness. hence
instead of sending her thieves, murderers
and burglars to prison. enlists them in the
army, where they serve their sentences
and the state at the same time. The over
bearing course of the soldiers, who literally
prey upon the people in districts removed
from the large cities. has brought about
the discomfort which breaks out in acts of
violence every little while, and which is
now said to be SO widespread and intense
that it threatens mighty revolution.
Mexico is toe close TO the United States to
maintain military despotism such as
President DrAz evidently feels is necessary
TO the maintenance Of his government.
The influence from the real republic is
certain to make Itself felt on the other side

THAT TAX INCREASE.

The county court has instructed the
county attorney 10 take such steps as he
may think proper to resist the proposed
raising of the assessment of real property
IN this county by the territorial board OF
equalization. The instruction ought not to
have been necessary; that is to say, there
should have been no suggestion of an IN
crease OF the assessment. We believe the
aim Of the county assessor has been to be
fair. II he has erred it has been in placing
values too high, not in making them too
low. In his valuations there is yet some
evidence of the boom spirit. which multi
piled the price of realty by from four to ten,
without increasing the actual value. Whist
real estate, before the unfortunate boom,
was valued toe low by the assessors, II has
been valued entirely too high since those
sensational days of .recklessness and spec
uiation. 1t is perhaps true that in most
cases the owners would not sell their lots
at the assessors prices, at the same time
1t IS equally true that comparatively little
land in this county would fetch the price
put upon it by the tax man. We don't be-
lIeve there is another county in the terri
tory where the assessors estimate and the
actual value of real estate is so near equal
as In Salt Lake.
There is another fact which should be
taken into account by the board Of equall-
cation. 1t is one to which attention
has been so often called. namely:
The extraordinary proportion of the
territorial taxes paid by Salt Lake
cor Of
counties have drawn from the school fund,
made up largely by Salt Lake. more than
the total OF all their taxes. There Is no
other county in which it costs so much TO
live as in this, there is no other county
where local taxes are SO high, where rents
are so high, where provisions and the nee
essaries of life are 80. True, there are
certain compensations in the way OF ad-
vantages and benefits not found elsewhere,
rightly feel that they have long borne
more than their equitable proportion of the
public burdens, and that they are entitled
to relief rather than to further oppression.
1t the board of equalization shall insist
upon the proposed tax increase, the county
authorities should make the best fight pos
sible in behalf Of the already tax-burdened
people. 1t may be true enough that the
territory needs money; nobody is disputing
the proposition, but we are saying that the
cash should not be extorted from the prop
erty owners of Salt Lake, so many of
whom do not recover from the effects of
one visit from the tax collector before he
calls upon them again.
