RErUBLIcaN HOSTILITY To UTAH.


The latest news from Washington will
be interesting to the people of Utah.
We direct attention to the special
dispatch TO The Herald from our Wash
ington correspondent. 1t tells the same
old story. Whenever anything practi-
cal is put forward in the direction Of
liberty for Utah, the Republicans are
alert to put block in the way. 1t
has been SO from the beginning of the
Republican party 1t looks as though
it would continue so to the end. At
any rate it will probably be so till
the end of Utah's bondage.
Delegate Rawlins is anxious to press
his statehood bill forward so that it
may go to the Senate without unneces-
sary delay. Mr.. Kilgore yesterday en-
deavored to have the statehood bill
considered in committee Of the whole.
: t opposition came from the Republi-
cans who hlibustered to prevent con-
sideration and SO barred the way. The
Democrats voted for it. the Republi-
cans refrained from voting in order
to hinder it. VIII those late campaign
orators who talked so much about
Cleveland ''eowardice' in 8. certain
matter descant a little on the ''cour-
age of the Republicans who would
neither vote for nor against consider
alton Of tho Utah hill2
Another attempt will be made TO get
the bill up today. Perhaps by the
time the question is sprung again,
some of the party manipulators will
set their work in and show the futiIity
of Republican opposition, as there are
Democrats enough TO pass the bill
when there is a fuller attendance. and
also the injury it will do to the cause
of iaepublicanism in Utah to fight the
bill in any way Thus they may be
brought round for policy's sake. We
shall see
If there are any Republicans from
the west on the ground, of the stripe
that would rather see Utah stay out
Of the Union for another generation
than go in under Democratic auspices
the Republican hostility. TO Utah may
receive encouragement and further OBJ
stacIes be placed in the way.
However, we hope for better things.
OF one thing we may all be sure Our
Delegate will lose no time and let slip
no opportunity to press the matter to
a head And if there should be any
serious delay we shall know where to
place the responsibility. The course
pursued in relation to the bill will be
closely watched from this time for

FREE LUMBER.

! The cutlery against free wool and free
lead in the new tariff bill, is diversified
by terrible forebodings as to free lum-
Der. The State Of Washington is
largely interested in the lumber trade
ana we have been looking at the ma
pers from that region as TO their
views, on this subject. The Tacoma
News sent reporter to interview Col
Chauncey w. Griggs, President of the
st. Paul and Tacoma lumber cononany
as he is one Of the largest owners Of
timber land in the country and is prob
ably the best informed man in that
State on the lumber interests. His
familiarity with the trade reaches TO
foreign as well as American shipments
and his opinion is likely to be of yalue
Here is what Col. Griggs said, as re-
ported:
The Wilson bill, if passed by Com
| gress, viii place lumber on the free LIST
ana can see no reason why it should
not have been placed there before I
allfer with some of my associates in
business who hold an entirely opno-
site opinion, but to them my views will
be no surprise. 1 have often argued
with them and in some cases have per-
suaued them that my position is cor
rect. Free lumber will not be datri-
mental in the least, and l never have
heard a reasonable argument advanced
70 show that it would In the first
place the quality of our timber is far
superior to that of British Columbia
BY our timber I mean that of OREGON
and Washington and especially tbat ~
washington. It may seem strange
tlat this is so, but it is proven trl,e
by actual prices paid for it throughout
the country. The quality of our llln-
Der is not only superior but they do
not manufacture it as well as we do
They have not the same intelligent
workmen that we have. and il other
conditions were equal we would always
nave the advantage of them
Another reason why I believe in the
provisions Of the proposed Wilson bill
lis that l am opposed to combinations
and trusts, and have always been. and
the present tariff conduces to the build
ling up of combinations and trusts
The only place where l see that our
trade will be affected at all will be in
the California market, where we come
in equal competition with lumber from,
other countries But the quality of
our lumber and the quality of it's man
ufacture. l think. will more than equal
ize any disadvantage we could possibly
suffer in this market. Our local mar
ket would not be affected in the least
and it IS absurd for any one to say
that any foreign country can ever shin
lumber into this State. The principle
of the bill is in the interest of the COM

ANARCHY MUST HE suppREssEp

The way the anarchists were han
died in London ought to be suggestive
to the municipal authorities in this
country. As long as those disturbers
confined their incendiary speeches
within legal limits, they were allowed
to illuminate to their hearts content.
But when they overstepped lawful
bounds and began to advocate mer-
der, the use of the bomb, and other
pleasant means whereby the reforms
they seek to inaugurate could in their
view be brought about, the line was
drawn and they were prevented from
going any further. 1t did not take a
great many resolute policemen to pre-
vent any harangues from the red hot
orators and to scatter the great mob,
when an attempt was made to hold
the meeting in Trafalgar Square which
had been announced.
1t is well enough to permit people
of that stamp to blow off, in such
words as they choose to use, the gas
with which they are inflated 1t con-
stitutes sort of safety valve 1t
pleases them and does little harm, I'M
less they begin to urge acts in viola
ton of law. Then a clapper should
be put on their seditious mouths.
They ought not TO be allowed either
to break the law or aid and abet in or
counsel its violation, when it involves
the lives or property of people who
are marked as victims. Such pro-
ceedings are sufficiently criminal to
warrant extreme measures, and a
little prevention is better than a great
deal of cure. They should be stopped
in their course even if force becomes
requisite to stop them.
AS long as anarchists desist from
breaking the law or openly and pub
licly advising its violation, the less
they are interfered with the better
But when it becomes necessary to
take action it should be made effec-
tive and they should be given to un-
derstand that there will be no non
sense about it. Heroic treatment is
necessary with the disease of anarchy
when it comes to a head It must not
be tempered with but be put down no
matter at what cost.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-12-09

bes determined after they have been
in working operation. And it is sim
tply shameful to shift upon a policy
not yet established. the responsibility
for evils that occurred under another
and entirely opposite policy.
What the effects of tariff reform will
be on the iron trade and the wool
trade and other branches of business,
cannot be determined until that re-
form becomes law and the law is put
in practice and has been in operation
a sufficient time to develop into effects.
The predictions Of Republican calamity
howlers is but clap-trap and bell ring
ing. The noise attracts the attention
of the unsophisticated, but it will die
away and in good time those who
made the disturbance will be des-
pissed for their clamor
Whatever may be said about the
probable condition of labor under tariff
reform, it surely cannot be worse than
lit is now and has been in many parts
of the United States under high
protective tariff, the higher the tariff,
the worse the condition. The country
demanded change. It is untrue to
say they have had it. The change
has not yet come except as to the
party in control of public affairs. The
cause has been established, the effects
have not had time to develop. The
seed has been planted, the harvest
will be reaped in due season. And if
the change is not for the better it
surely cannot be much worse. Mean
while we will hope for better times
than McKinleyism has brought, with
good reasons to look for a general
revival Of trade, commerce and in
dustry and the amelioration of the
condition of the laboring classes.

The Tribune, starting with an en-
deavor to be witty about Grover the
Great loses itself in the exuberance
of its own verbosity and gravely asks,
in the event of an imaginary colloquy
between that gentleman and Mrs.
Lease of Kansas in train how Ions
would it take the Populist lady to
throw Cleveland out of the window
The humor in that conundrum is as
ponderous as the President, and the
mind that could imagine Mrs. Lease
trying to jam that bulky form through
a car window must be in highly hi
larious condition. We presume it
would take about as long as it would to
squeeze the Tribune camel through the
eye Of the heavenly needle.
