The Statehood Question.

The prospects of statehood for Utah
grow smaller by degrees and considerably
less, as the days pass by and Congress be-
comes agitated over matters considered of
greater moment to the country at large.
1t is hardly probable now that either the
single bill introduced in the House, or the
omnibus bill which was sought to be
crowded through the Senate, will become
a law during this Congress.
There has been an effort of late on the
part of some Republicans and by those
who are opposed to statehood for Utah.
to make it appear that there is little
chance for admission during the next
session and even during the whole of the
next Congress. 1t is argued that the free
silver tendencies of Utah and the rest of
the western territories Will be bar to
their speedy admission.
We do not share in these forebodings,
but are of the opinion that the Democratic
party will endeavor to fulfill its pledge of
the admission of the remaining territories
at the earliest practicable moment. It is
conceded that Utah is ready and that there
is no serious obstacle in the way of her
admission. And we believe that if those
persons and parties that have been en-
deavoring to procure statehood before the
Republicans go out of office, will con-
+i,,,, +I,a;, ox-ar.Iore o9+ar +le Ha,,, ,,o,o re-
enter into power and not try to thwart
that which they now seek to promote,
there will be little delay in the grand con-
summation.
1t will not be to the advantage of par
tisans on the Republican side to try in
any way to hinder the attainment of
statehood, under the administration of
President CLEVELAND. Nor will it ap-
pear sincere or truthful if they endeavor
to convey the impression that the people
of Utah are Indifferent to the issue.
Everybody acquainted with the senti-
meats OF the people knows that they do
want deliverance from territorial bond
age; that they do want to elect their own
officers; that they do want to have voice
in the affairs of the nation of which they
form part; and that they are quite
willing to bear the expenses and respon-
sibilities OF the change.
That they should wait until a meagre mi
nority, exaggerated as to its actual num-
bers which are very small, shall become
harmonious with the elements which they
have always opposed, before moving Wig
orously to obtain their political rights,
would be political absurdity. 1t would
be better, perhaps, ii all the people of
Utah We're united in one grand effort for
full liberty. And then again it might
not. 1t is an open question, for some
peoples open opposition is better than
their pretended friendship. Anyhow,
Utah is entitled to statehood; the over
whelming majority OF her people desire to
have their rights, and no exertion should
be spared to secure that boon as soon as
it is possible to obtain it. We believe that
will be in the coming Congress under a
Democratic administration.

OSBORNE could not legally make an APP
pointment until the 4th of March, when
Senator WARREN's term expires. That
is evidently mistake, and akin to the
error that the Governor could not ap-
point at all. The new Senator will
not succeed to the Office until after the
4th of March, but as the legislature could
elect a Senator before that time, SO the
governor could appoint in case of the
failure to elect, to take effect in each case
of course at the expiration of the term of
the incumbent.
Senator BEcKwITH will receive the cor
dial support OF large majority of the
people of Wyoming. The Democrats
cannot fail to be gratified at the appoint
ment. The people OF Utah those who live
in the region adjoining the Wyoming line
in particular, and others who know the
gentleman will join THE HERALD in Of
fering congratulations on his appoint
ment to so proud position.

are forced to acknowledge that the COM
pany cannot afford to pay more than what
is offered.
There are three things that make work
ing people unreasonable under such cir
cumstances as these: One is mistaken
idea as to the profits of the capitalists.
Another is that stubbornness which hates
to submit when once stand is taken and
feels Inundated at giving in. The third
is the bondage which workmen some
times find themselves in from the dictum
of the union or order with which they are
associated.
THE HERALD does not oppose labor
unions by any means. But it is opposed
to unreasonable regulations, no matter
by whom they are made, and to the folly
which keeps large numbers OF men out OF
work because a fixed price is not paid for
wages, when reason and facts prove that
such rates cannot be paid except at a loss
to the employer.
The Bullion Beck company pays out at
least 500, 900 month when the works are
in running order. Most OF this finds its
way directly or indirectly to this city and
its surroundings. Ninety-fve per cent. of
the stock is owned by Utah residents. 1t
is one of those enterprises that is almost
lost sight of when new projects are
doomed. The lying idle of that property
affects this city vastly more than is
thought OF. There are other enterprises
here that are not noticed, but the stop
page of which would bring paralysis to
business.
1t is to be hoped that the men will come
to reason and that their advisers will not
be obstinate. After the men had agreed
to stand by the compromise and reject the
offer, sixty OF them quietly notified the
manager they were ready to go to work
on the terms proposed. The company
would like all the men to be agreed. THE
HERALD suggests that it will be for the
benefit of all parties concerned to start
up work without delay The policy of
the workmen now is only suicidal.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-02-24
Suicidal Labor Policy.

The difficulty at the Bullion Beck and
Champion mines is suggestive of mis-
taken policy that frequently governs the
action of workingmen 1t is the refusal
to work at all if given rate of wages
cannot be obtained.
In this instance, the managers found
that owing to high freight rates and the
reduced price of silver, they were carry
ing on business at loss. They debated
the question for some months as to
whether they would shut down as other
mining companies had been compelled to
do or take other measures for self-de-
tense. They at length determined upon
offering reduced rate of wages until the
price of silver should recover sufficiently
to warrant return to the old prices. The
men refused to work at lower rates, and
the mines had to be shut down.
Since then the miners and laborers have
been idle. During this bad winter
weather they have drawn no wages.
Many OF them have suffered, and all of
them who have families have been terri
bly, Inconvenience, to say the least, and
some of them have run deeply into debt.
This is only a repetition of the oft told
story of labor difficulties. Would it not
have been better for those men and their
families if the reduction of half dollar a
week had been submitted to for the time
being, than that they should have no in
come at all? 1t looks so to an ordinary
mind not swayed by bad advice or bound
by some cast-iron union regulation.
The company has recently proposed to
the men to start up the works again on
scale of $3.50 per day for miners and S2a
day for laborers, with t qe agreement that
as soon as silver sells in the market for 80
cents per ounce the former rates shall be
restored. The men met and resolved not
to accept less than 80. rs day for miners,
and resumption of old wages when sill
yer reaches 80 cents an ounce. So work

to the company's terms.
This is not a mere matter of dispute be-
tween employer and employees, It is a
matter OF straight business. The books
of the company show what it costs to
bring out and put on the market ton of
ore and what that will fetch when sold,
and some of the workmen objecting to the
wages proposed have seen the figures. and

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Loss of Life SO7.

The sHlI Incomplete Report Of Last
Weeks storm Proves IL the Severest in
Many Years.
Reports which continue to come in re-
garding last weeks storm in the South
confirms the opinion that when the exact
amount of loss, both of life and property,
is ascertained, the damage will prove to
have exceeded that of any storm in recent
years. Official information of the deaths
on the islands and mainland near Beaufort
and Port Royal, South Carolina, places the
number at S07, with several islands yet to
hear from. Over S2,000,000 worth of
property in this vicinity has been wrecked.
The suffering of the survivors is very
great. Several thousand negroes, who
have been driven to Port Royal from sur
rounding islands, are starving. Several
have been killed in fight for provisions.
Many have not had food for a number of
days, and they are getting more and more
daring in the struggle to keep their fami-
lies from starving. In addition to the losses
reported last week, the phosphate industry,
from which the state derives large in
come, is almost completely paralyzed. The
outlook for the crops is very discouraging.
The government observer thinks that from
25 to 80 per cent of the entire growing crop
in the fields at the time Of the hurricane
will be lost. There is not a county in
South Carolina that has not been damaged
by the storm. The long staple cotton crop
has met with severe injury, and the esti-
mates are that where in former years
Charleston received 10000 bales of sea-
island cotton, this year she will do well to
receive 5000.
The insurance on the wrecked steamer
City of Savannah amounted to $500, 900,
of which $l50,0O0 was on the vessel and
$50, 900 on the cargo. Abandoned hulks
are to be seen all along the coast, and the
loss of life at sea is supposed to have been
very heavy.

An Important Pension Ruling.

An order of the greatest interest to all
pensioners has been issued by Commission
er Lochren. 1t requires that in the future
suspensions from the pension roll shall not
be made until prima-facie evidence is secur-
ed showing that the pensioner is clearly
not entitled to rating under the pension
laws. One of the most important features
of the order is that it aids the pensioner in
procuring his proof and leaves him the pro-
priety of applying to the bureau for an
order for an examination by medical
board. He is by this simple method en-,
abled to obtain all the necessary evidence
required in his case by making a request
for an examination. No burden or expense
is put upon him.

rumor had gained circulation that the
well-known f lward T. Feron, Esq, of 5O1
East Slst street. New York City, was ut
terly broken down in health, had become
unable to attend TO his duties and was
really ina condition beyond cure.
Over twenty doctors had examined and
treated his case, aud all were forced to
give up aud acknowledge that his case was
beyond their skill
Then the remark was made that here
was test case for the great and popular
medicine, Dr. Green's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. 1t is of course a widely
known fact that this wonderful remedy
rarely if ever fails to cure, but could even
its marvellous curative powers restore
health in this most serious case
The Nervura was used and everybody
watched its effects with deep interest and
almost breathless anxiety.
We will give Mr.. Ferons own version of
the affair
''For five years" he said, 81 have been
running down, gradually losing my health
and strength; at last | got very bad and
was troubled with pains in my back and
around my heart.
