HOME RULE.

Mr.. PLAT, chairman of the Senate com
mitiee On the territories, is trying to kill
the Utah.R Rule bill ~ the smother
ing process. All through the hearing ac-
corded to the delegation which went to
Washington from this territory, the Sena-
tor manifested his opposition to the
measure, snd at times ne was ontspoken in
the matter, especially SO in conversation
with individuals on the subject He never
essay ed to advance any reason for opposing
local self government, hut doggedly stood
against the proposition, presumably on the
theory that as mis- party had always fought
Utah it should continue tie fight without
troubling itself for reasons or excuses
Our Washington correspondent wires that
with PLATT's consent the bill will never ne
called up in the committee, much less re-
ported favorsbly. The Senator told the
correspondent that the bill would not even
be considered in the committee until the
House had acted upon it, and PLAT is hop
ing the House will not pass the bill at all.
The circumstance that the chairman Of
the Senate committee is opposed TO the
measure will not be at all discouraeinp In
its friends here. Mr.. PLATT's opposition
was counted on from the first and his
friendship would have been somewhat
startling. Fortunately the gentleman is
not Congress. Bills have become law
without his support Our advices are to
the effect that the House viii certainly
pass the dill with an overwhelming major
ity, Notwithstanding the fact that the Re
publicans are being trained into line in
opposition, upon the proposition that the
bill is Democratic measure The proba-
oilitiss are that action will be taken in the
near future. There is excellent ground
for the belief that the Senate will pass the
bill in spite of Mr.. PLATT's opposition as
every Democratic Senator with a solitary
exception is firm for it, and enough Rspub-
licans have declared their belief in it's ms
tics to give clear majority.
The HERALD is as hopeful rs ever and is
confident that in little while the long de-.
MED emancipation will come to the afflicted
territory, and Utah's march to greatness
will be swifter than before

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

HE HERALD, this morning sends to all
its readers four-page supplement- contain
ing an exhaustive refutation of the argu-
ments OF the protectionists. The author is
the Hon. JOHN DEWITT WARNRR, q Repre-
sentative in Congress from New York, and
the paper was first issued with the weekly
World. Tariff reform is the great issue
now, and will ontinue to be until the ques-
tion has been settled in favor OF the people,
until the burdensome import tax which
is plastering mortgages all over
the farms of this country has
been abolished, and the AGRICULTURAL
interest OF America is no LONGER DIG
crlminated againBt in favor of other inter-
ests. It will be the chief issue until the
American people have obtained the natural
right to buy what they need in tse cheapest
markets which the world affords, and to
sell what they have 10 dispose of to custom
ers who will pay most for it.
Just now the people of Utah have no
voice in the settlement of this question.
We cannot be heard through the only
channel where our voice might co effective
tho ballot box; nevertheless, it will be
well for US 80 familiarize Ourselves with
the problem, for long before the final de-
cree can be made up Utah viii be a factor
in the controversy and be in position to
make herself heard
From time TO time THE HERALD will
send out papers bearing on the subject anu
vith Them will always 90 an earnest re-
quest that rot only Benz era;g, but Repub-
leans, and those of no fixed political con
yictions, will carefully read and q gest lne
matter. Our ambition is that the people
Of this territory shall be thoroughly cnu-
Gated in politics; thai they shall
become familiar with tne principles
upon ahich the parties ere founded an
shall understand the questions and issues
which range mea along different lines. Our
faith in the intelligence. the clear heRded-
ness and the senee Of discrimination of the
citizens Of Utah is such that we have all
confidence ttst they Will 20 right when
they understand the problems whict corse

Utah citizens are Democrats, ard that
majority will be increased oy the general

IHE REV. I. KNOX LITTLE, canon Of
Worcester, England, preached very re-
cently an interesting sermon at st. Barns-
pas college, Oxford, to the students and
others, his subject being 1.-THE Public
Press" The press was an enormous
power, of immense value. and he urged the
people to further their interests in the
completion of its high ideal. or all mo-
tives, the ideal was the grandest, and that
OF the press the most noble; and above all.
the English press, with which he always
sided, though it did not always side with
him. 1t was through the press that free
dom of speech and liberty were gained; it
was through it that the government was
sustained, for its members were conscious
that all their deeds would be made known
to the people. The newspaper was the
abettor of truth, for it laid bare all secret
intrigues. The press entailed a duty
OF moral law ''that whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure and of good re-
port it should write and spread abroad.
VI all professions, that of journalism pos
sesses the greatest weight. The duty of a
clergyman was to preach Christian doc
trlnes, but the duty of g journalist was to
enter into every topic, political, religious,
theological and social. He addressed him
self to all present whose future profession
was to be journalism, that as their aim was
the noblest, so they were the most respon-
slble of all workers, for by their writing
they taught and fed the nation and as they
were moral'or immoral, so they raised or
lowered the tone of the nation Men should
not be engaged by journals merely because
they could write pleasant or correct par
agraph, but should be men of sound mind
aud discretion as well as able. Above all
things, they smust guard against three
grave Dangers sensatlonalism, inaccuracy
and the writing of something about which
they know nothing.
