and so through the entire list of bread

taxation runs riot.
We shall find among them doubtless,
positions too absurd for argument. One of
them, as we quote from the Boston Herald,
is that the imposing of tax upon an article
does not make the price of the article
higher than it would be if the tax were not
levied. tits, perhaps, shade more silly to
contend that the imposing Of tax reduces
the price Of an article, but it is only mat
ter of degree in inanity. The same may be
said of contentious that those interested in
the manufacture of goods desire taxes to be
put on rival productions in order that they
may be able to sell their own productions
cheaper. 1t is all unworthy the consider
alton of men endowed with reason and an
insult to those whom it is assumed will be
influenced by it.

GOOD ENOUGH.

We apprehend there is some mistake in
the wired report from Washington that the
chairman of the Senate committee on terri
tories has requested Judge ZANE to suggest
the names Of other gentlemen than those
named in the Utah Colum bian exposition
bill. 1t seems to The HERALD that this is
not q matter for Congress to bubble over;
in fact, that the composition of the board is
something which does not concern Congress
in the least. The territorial leRisla-
ture named twelve gentlemen and
three ladies as the board of Worlds fair
managers for Utah, and that fact should
be sufficient for Congress, the presumption
being that the representatives of the peo-
pie know best who should attend to the
business in hand and spend the public
money. 1t is assuming a good deal for
Congress to pass the bill which was vetoed
by the governor. The national legislature
can find excuse or justification for 1t only
in the urgent necessity. But TO go still
farther and assume to change in an essen
tial particular the bill as it passed the local
legislature, would be little less than out
rageous. We think we know the sentiment
of the people of Utah, and we think that
sentiment would say, better no appearance
whatever at the fair than an exhibition di-
rected by other than the chosen represen-
tatives.
Furthermore, the members of the board
were wisely selected by the legislature.
The gentlemen and ladies are not only well
qualified to perform the duties required,
but they are thoroughly representative of
the various sections of the territory and its
interests, and not less representative po-
litically and socially. They are among our
prominent and best respected citizens, and
all have confidence in them There was
manifestly no attempt to reward for polit-
ical services, no effort to confer special
honors upon anybody. The legislature was
overwhelmingly Democratic, yet on the
board we find very officious Republicans
and prominent Liberals; there are Gentiles
and Mormons, rich men and poor ones, and
selections have been made from every sec
ton Of the territory. 1t would be difficult
TO find more representative body But
the circumstance that the board was chosen
by the legislature should be sufficient for
| Congress. If Congress is not willing to
pass the bill exactly as it went from the
Utah legislature, THE HERALD hopes the
matter Will be dropped. This territory
will find a way to make a satisfactory ex-
| hibit at the fair.

THE RUsrLERs' BLUNDER.

The so-called rustlers of Johnson county,
Wyoming, have sent a telegram to Presi-
dent HARRISON asking him to receive
delegation to lay before him the facts con-
corning the recent troubles between the
cattlemen and the settlers. In doing this
the rustlers have blundered. The Presi-
dent has nothing to do with the case. Wyo-
ming is a sovereign state, possessing all
the machinery of self-government. john
son county is fully organized, with Off
Gals and courts and is abundantly
able to manage her own affairs.
The county is not responsible to the Presi
dent, and doesn't have to report to him. 1t
is to be regr cited that the people there have
so far forgotten their rights and dignity as
citizens of state as to appeal to the Presi-
dent to listen to their cause. In this they
have displayed weakness, and confessed a
lack of appreciation of their responsibilities
and powers. They have listened to bad ad
visers, as they will readily understand
when they ask themselves q question or
two suggested by the course they are pur-
suing. Suppose the President were to tell
the delegation to proceed to Washington,
and, after listening to their story, were to
tell them the people of johnson county
were wrong in opposing a band of
armed invaders who signalized their
entrance into the county by murder
and .incendiarism; how would the delega-
ton feel, and how would the people of
Johnson county feel? And suppose the
President were to say that the citizens and
officials of the county were clearly in the
right, how would that mend matters? How
would 1t in the least change the status of
affairs9
The truth is, this is none of the Presi-
dents funeral" and self-respecting citi-
zens understanding their rights would not
have applied to him. Inasmuch as the
rustlers have sent their appeal to Washing
ton, there are those who will be inclined to
believe that perhaps the rustlers are some
what in the wrong and they want to plead
their excuses and enlist aid and comfort.

SENATOR pLATT,s CONVERSION.

1t was an interesting bit of information
which The HERALD's Washington cor
respondent voiced yesterday to the effect
that Senator PLAT is favorable to state
hood for Utah. PLAT is chairman of the
Senate committee on territories, and all
during the protracted hearings accorded
the Utah delegations on the Home Rule
and statehood bills, manifested determined
opposition to both measures. He has also
shown his antagonism in private converse
ton. 1t has been published and not denied
that the chairman would see to it that the
bills were not even reported from the com
mittee, the gentleman not being willing to
trust the Senate to adopt an unfayorable
report. In the light of all these we'll
known facts it seems very strange
that the Senator should suddenly
reverse front and propose to give the people
of this territory more than they dared to
expect. THE HERALD hopes there is no
trick in Mr.. PLATT's proposition. We
hope the Senator is entirely frank and fair
in this matter, and that he has not sug-
gested statehood in the near future with
the view to side-tracking or ditching all re-
lief for the oppressed territory We are
going to try to place confidence in the con-
version Of the Connecticut Senator, at the
same time bearing in mind that trickery is
| q Republican Characteristic
There is no reason why rthis territory
should not at once be admitted to the Union.
All the arguments in favor of Home Rule
apply with equal force to statehood. Every
one of the gentlemen who went to
Washington last winter to adyo-
cate the Home Rule bill, tried
to impress it upon the territories commit
tees that Utah was well equipped for state
hood in all respects, and that a state gov
ernment would have been asked for If ii
had not been for the popular prejudice
against the territory, which manifestly
affected the President, and might have
more or less influence upon members of
Congress. In Difference to that sentiment
the people had been modest in their re-
