WHAT UTAH OWNS AND OWES.

The excellent showing that Utah makes
as to the ownership of homes and farms
by its people and their comparative free
dom from debt is seen in Bulletin No. 81
of the series issued by the Census Bureau,
which thus sums UP detailed and tabu-
lated report:
The leading results OF the investigation
of farm and home proprietorship in Utah
are contained in this bulletin. In regard
to farms, the conclusion is that 9.43 per
cent. of the farm families hire and so. 81
per cent. own the farms cultivated by
them; that 5.55 per cent. of the farm
owning families own subject to incum-
brance and 81. 45 per cent. own free of in
cumbrance. Among 100 farm families,
hire their farms, own with incum brsnce
and Sc without incum brance. On the
owned farms there are liens amounting to
$546, Z45, which is 24.93 per cent. of their
value, and this debt bears interest at the
average rate of 10. Is per cent, making
the average annual interest charge S93 to
each family. Each owned and incum-
bered farm, on the average, is worth
s. $40 and is subject to a debt of S9l5.
The corresponding facts for homes are
that 80. 35 per cent. of the home families
hire and 60. IS per cent. own their homes
W
per cent. own free OF incumbrance and
S.51 pet cent. with 1ncumbrance. In 100
home families, on the average, 80 hire
their homes, own with incum brance,
and 56 without ineum brance. The debt
on owned homes aggregates 81 .42S, 699, or
27.70 per cent. or their value, and bears
interest at the average rate of 9.71 per
cent, so that the annual amount of in
terest to each home averages 500. An
average debt of Stops incumbers each
home, which has the average value of

of 1859 and 44.843, respectively and
these are the only cities In the territory
having a population greater than 8, GOO.
In these cities 55.35 per cent. of the home
families hire aud 44.65 per cent. own
their homes, and of the home owning
families 10. 81 per cent. own with encum-
brance and S0.49 per cent. own free of in
cumbrance. In 100 home families, on the
average, are found 80 that hire their
homes, 9 that own with incumbrance.
and SO that own without incumbrance
The liens on the owned homes are 26.98
per cent. OF those subject to lien. Several
averages show that the rate of interest is
9.43 per cent. value of each owned and
incumbered home, s4,7I2; lien on the
same, $1271, and yearly interest charge on
each home, $120.

to incur 66.S2 per cent. of the home debt.

THE OPENING of the Cherokee Strip
renders the movement for statehood in
Oklahoma more feasible than it was a
year ago. The population has greatly
increased, and though the territory is a
comparatively new political organization,
its Numbers, wealth and resources are
such as to recommend its claims to the
right of elf-government. When Hon.
William NJ. Springer first advocated the
organization of Oklahoma, and talked
about its admission as state, he was
greatly ridiculed. Time has vindicated
his foresight, and it is not unlikely that
Oklahoma, perhaps with the Indian
Territory attached, will, before long,
come to the front as sovereign state.

as TO WOOL AND LEAD.

Republican or pretended Republican
papers need not think to scare the people
of Utah by the cry of f'free wool" or
''free lead" The high tariff has never
raised the price of either in the United
States. On the contrary they have both
declined under the operations of McKin-
leyism. In Utah, after the passage of the
Mckinley act, the price of wool dropped,
and it has gone down steadily.
This year, in addition to the
bad effects OF the high tariff
which Senator Sherman and others
declared were to reduce the price of the
home product-this year dear money
helped to make cheap wool. The
financial panic affected all products as
well as all business. And the prices
abroad being low, the prices at home were
similarly affected. The notion that fear
OF law not yet enacted, and that could
not possibly come into effect for more
than year if it should be enacted, caused
the reduction is one of the absurdities of
Republican argument if it may be digni-
fed by that term.
AS to lead, the facts are similar. The
price of lead went down as soon as the
Mckinley protective duty went into oper-
alton, snd no attempt to dodge that fact
will avail. By the by, the Durango,
Colorado, Herald has been noticing some
of the vagaries of our added neighbor on
this question, and here is paragraph
clipped from its editorial columns:
Salt Lakes Tribune should not overlook
the fact that the smelter men of Colorado
have petitioned for repeal OF the duty on
lead ores. 1t should also bear in mind
that the Mckinley bill gave to Mexico the
| largest smelling plant in the world, and
drove millions of American capital to
that country. The only persons who
have been before the ways and means
committee to urge retention of the duty
on lead are manufacturers of white lead /,
who are also leading spirits in the white
lead trust. For every dollar lead miners
have made by protection, their neighbors,
the dry ore miners, have been taxed
three. The Mckinley bill is a great
scheme for the east, but disastrous to the
west and south.
There are stockholders in Utah mines
that are of the same mind, and 'sfree
lead'' is no more of scare to them than
'.free wool" IS to the we'll informed
farmers and other posted citizens of this
! territory

THE CHICAGO Times of Sept. &c has the
following court item in reference to an
attorney who obtained some notoriety in
this city and in Ogden, and who once
had libel suit against the Salt Lake
Tribune: ssIn the first case he has tried
n three years Attorney Frank Collier re-
covered verdict in his favor, returned
by a jury in Judge Windes' court. AS
counsel for DR.. Charles F. Butts Collier
argued suit against Attorney Jesse D..
Barton. In 1887 Butts sued druggist
named John P. Lee for $1,000 due on q
contract. Barton was his attorney, and,
it is claimed, allowed Dr. Butts interests
to suffer. Suit was commenced against
Barton for e.. 600 damages. and the jury,
after hearing Golfers arguments, re-
turned verdict for that amount. Collier
was elated with his success"

TEE ORGAN of the tag-rag remnant of
the Liberal faction says THE HERALD has
been t'crowded into square confession
OF faith of Democratic dogma" II the
organ aforesaid could be 'scrowded'' into
telling the truth, it would be the most
remarkable illustration of changed con-
ditions'' in Utah that could be offered.
THE HERALD stands exactly on the
ground IL has always occupied as an adj
vocate OF Democracy. Latterly nobody
can understand where the Tribune stands,
except that it appears to be on its head
and is splitting out venom against all par
ties alike. Its position is paradox, for
while appearing to be on its head it is
also "son its ear, and off its headn at
the same time. The poor thing needs

A Gala Day in Norfolk.

Norfolk yesterday added three eX-
ceedingly attractive features to the
naval rendezvous. These were the
trades parade and international band
contest during the day, and the recep-
ton and ball in honor of the naval of
ficers in the evening. Aside from the
arrival of the caravels, the big end OF
the rendezvous was there. The whole
city was decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. Business was suspended, and the
entire population gave itself up to max
ing success of the events of the
day.
The band contest took place in the
forenoon, and was participated in by
Itzel's Military Band, of Baltimore ;
the Marine Band, of Washington; band
of her Majesty's steamer Blake; the
Naval Academy Band, of Annapolis

spectively, and were awarded to the

A CHASTITY Discovery.

LONDON, Apl. pa dispatch from
Ymuiden, Holland, states thata fishing
boat that has arrived there reports
having seen adrift in latitude Sc north,
longitude 5 east, boat which had
painted on its side a name which as far
as could be made out read Moran"
In the boat were five dead men, their
bodies being tied to the seats. A high
sea was running at the time and this
prevented the fishing vessel from run
ming close to the drifting boat. 1t is
copjectpred here that this small boat
came from the ill-fted Naronic, which
sailed from Liverpool for New York on
February 18th last and has never since
been heard from. The position where
the boat was sighted is little to the
westward of the middle of the North
Sea.
IA vessel arrived at New Castle to-
day reports having picked up the boaS
containing the bodies of five men. 1t
proves not to have belonged to the Ma
ronic.

chaneeabIe Postmaster Watts.

Postmaster General Bissell yesterday
notified Mr.. S. J. Watts, the postmas-
ter at Columbus, Ca, that be would re-
move him from Office as soon as he had
selected O. successor. Mr.. Watts has
been postmaster at Columbus for eight
wears. and is in Washington at present
seeking reappointment. He was APP
pointed by MIR. Cleveland eight years
ago. After the defeat ofthe democrat
ic party in 1883 Mr. Watts changed his
politics and reorganized the entire
clerical force of his postofice on
thoroughly republican basis. He was
thereupon reappointed by President
Harrison. When, last November, the
republican party was defeated Mr.:
Watts again changed his politics and
became one of the most ardent demo-
Gratis in Columbus. About month
ago he sent note to every clerk and
letter carrier in his office, stating that
since the administration is now demo-
cratic it was proper that the Columbus
postoffice should be entirely reorganiz-
ed on a democratic basis, and, there
fore, requested their resignation. One
of the clerks sent the note he received
to the Civil Service Commission, at
Washington. The two republican COM
missioners, Lyman and Roosevelt,
found this note, which was really no.
tice of removal, to be in plain violation
of President Harrisons order of last
January, placing all free-delivery Of
fees within the classified service. They
made report to this effect, and recon-
mended Mr. Watts's removal.
Yesterday Mr.. Watts called on Postmaster
General Bissell After introducing himself
and stating the purpose of his GRAND, Mr.
Bissell inquired of him how he had succeeded
in holding Office under Mr. Harrison. To
this Mr.. Watts replied: Il am business
man, and view matters philosophically. When
Mr.. Cleveland was defeated promptly turn
| ed out the democratic clerks and put in re-
publicans. When Mr.. Harrison was defeated
last fall determined that | would turn out
my republican clerks and replace them with
democrats. have already asked them for
their designations"
YES" replied Mr. Bissel Il know all
about your office Here is the report OF the
| civil service commission. Your story saves
me the trouble of reading it,"
y am glad to hear it" replied Mr. Watts

Yes, l, too am glad you have come, said
Mr.. Bssell, because you being here saves ME
the trouble of sending you notice, formally,
that shall remove you as soon as | can Sc

The NIushbach Law.

A State reporter called at the office
of Attorney General Scott yesterday
morning to interview that gentleman
relative to the decision Thursday of the
Supreme Court of Appeals in the case
of Lescallett against the Common
wealth. Major Scott was in Baltimore,
and consequently could not be seen.
This decision has been the subject Of
a great deal of gossips, particularly in
legal and sporting circles. The fact
that two out of five judges dissented,
has given the legal fraternity full scope
for gossip, and many think with Judges
Hinton and Fauntleroy that the betting
was done in Richmond. This is the first
Supreme Court decision in case of this
kind. Missouri, Maryland, and the
District of Columbia each have laws
against gambling, The Virginia law is
almost the same as that of Maryland.
The Missouri law makes it crime to
receive commission or be party to
the bet, and the opinion among some
people is that at the next session of the
Legislature the act will be so amended
as to correspond with the Missouri law.
At other places people have been ar
rested and punished on similar charges
as those preferred against Leseallett,
but in no instance has an appeal been
taken. The opinion prevails among
horsemen that another turf exchange
will be opened here at once. Of course
there is 8 degree of satisfaction felt
among the sporting element, for the de-
cision virtually gives thenl legal right
to patronize the turf exchanges to the
full extent of their inclinations and
pocket books. The exchanges that
were formerly operated were we'll pa
tronized, it is said. A youth was heard
to remark few days ago that he had
left Ie good many 6ard.earned dollars
at these places, and a gentlemen said
this morning that while he did not bet
often, he was several hundred on the
debit side of the affair.-Richmond State.

The Escaped Prisoners.

SING SING, n. y, April 22.-Pallister
and Rohle, the two condemned murder
ers who escaped from the death house
late Thursday night, are still at large.
The prison officials are undecided as to
whether the men escaped in small
boat or travelled by land. Warden
Brown does not think that small boat
could have lived in such storm as
that of Thursday night, and that if the
prisoners attempted to cross the river
the boat was swamped and that the &C.
cupants were probably drowned.
The wardsa was of the opinion that
if the two men did succeed in reaching
Rockland county, on the opposite side
of the river, they had better chance
to escape than they would if they had
attempted to make their way from the
prison through Westchester county,
as every avenue and road in the coun-
ty is being guarded. Word was re-
ceived at the prison this morning that
Deputy Sheriff Pugsley, of White
Plains, had been informed that last
night two men, answering the descrip-
ton of the escaped prisoners had board
ed freight train at Whitsons Oh the
Northern road and had got Off at
Brewsters. This information was given
to Pugsley by the trainmen.
State Detective Jackson returned to
the prison without having found any
trace of the escaped murderers. Moth
ing has been heard to-day of the man
answering Pallister's description who
bought copy of a paper in Nyack and
read with noticeable excitement the
description of the escape. Officers
started to search the woods in the vic
Unity and word was sent TO all the
farmers to catch him if possible, if he
came their way, but whether or not he
was Pallister he disappeared complete
ly on leaving the main road and not
clew has since been found,
