For Real Estate Men,

We have no idea that anybody in these
parts contemplates moving to Jerusalem.
No one who has dwelt in these favored
wales long enough to be reckoned as a
resident would want to go over to the
region of the original Jordan, unless
there was some extraordinary induce
ment. But there may be some persons
interested in real estate transactions who
would like to know how land sells in
these times in the capital of ancient
Judea.
The American consul has furnished
some information on this subject, and
states that great deal ofNland changes
hands there every year, and at big adj
vances on former rates. For instance,
two acres that were sold in 1880 for $3.50 an
acre, sold last year for $3.50; twelve acres
bought for S4S5 in 1890, sold in 1892 for
g, 17S an acre; seven acres bought in 1885
for 1858 an acre, sold in 1892 for S.. 5S4; ;
two acres bought the same year Tor 81 200
an acre, sold in 1892 for So. 900; half an
acre sold in 1881 for 5000, sold in '92 for
IS, 700; one acre sold in ~ for $40, sold in
'92 for s12, 600; one acre sold in 1865 for
81 600, sold in 1891 s24 200.
These are samples of real estate deals in
the Holy City. We are not trying to
cause an exodus of real estate sharps from
Zion to Jerusalem, but do not think any
harm would happen if some OF them were
to try their hands at options on lots in
that locality. These figures are of bona
fide sales IN different parts OF the town,
varying from quarter of mile to a
mile distant from the populated quarter.
Real estate is down at present in this
city, and there is no immediate prospect
OF a boom. Prices will advance again
after while. but are not likely to take
any sudden or extraordinary jumps. In
Palestine there is a gradual increase of
the population, and it is not at all un-
likely that property in or about Jerusa-
lem will greatly appreciate in value.

No Mistake.

The readers of our morning con-
temporary are informed in its editorial
columns that when THE HERALD said
that the only reason for the removal OF
Judge SANDFoRD was because his ad-
ministration of the Office was not in
harmony with the policy of President
HARRISON it made mistake. That is
very mild sort of contradiction for our
neighbor so make. But its next sentence
is not in keeping. 1t says: SANFORD
was simply an educated idiot"
Well, if that was the reason for his re-
moval it did not so appear in the official
correspondence. THE HERALD has pro-
duced the letters that passed between the
Judge and the Attorney General on this
matter, and we are quite willing that
a comparison between the letters
on one side and the other shall decide
which of the parties appears most like an
''educated idiou.'' We do not believe the
decision would go against Judge SAND
FORD. What names our neighbor calls
people do not count. 1t is accustomed to
arguing III that fashion. Judge
SANDFoRD did not please the Tribune any
more than the administration. The
"policy" of that paper and of the Presi-
dent on the question of the period was
the same.
But if Judge SANDFoRD was not re-
moved simply because his course on the
bench in reference to one class of offenses
was not in harmony with the policy OF
the President, then the Attorney General
did not tell the truth; that is the only
charge specified in the correspondence
and the only reason offered for the re-
moval.
The attack made by our neighbor on the
ability and character of Judge SANFORD
is nothing more nor less than what his
slanderer calls Can exhibition OF dirty
partisanship, and the author of il is
not entitled even to the adjective portion
of the title, Educated ASST which he
elegantly bestows on the Judge.
There is no getting out of the fact that
a Federal judge was turned off the bench
by President HARRISON, simply because
his administration OF the law was not
regulated by the policy Of the Executive.
And the infamy of the matter will not be
lessened IN the remotest degree by any
amount of explosives or slanderous slime
cast by our ill-tempered contemporary.
THE HERALD made no mistake.

University and School LANDS.

That is good news which announces the
the people of Utah to locate university
lands, to sell certain tracts at the mini
mum price of g. so per acre. This will be
made available for university purposes
and has been needed for long time.
The policy that has been pursued to-
ward the territories in relation to school
and university lands does not display the
hight of legislative wisdom. When this
territory needed most the benefits to be
derived from these university lands, it
could not obtain dollar from that source
A great many efforts were made to OBJ
tain authority to dispose of the lands Sc
lected but all that could be done was to
elect the commissioners and authorize
them to select the lands.
Now that they can be sold and the pro-
ceeds applied to the benefit OF the univer-
sity, although the funds come since the
completion of the building and after the
hardest work in its establishment is over,
it will yet be a welcome addition to its
finances and help TO make it more like
what it was designed to be.
But the school lands still remain I'M
available. Not until statehood is OBJ
tanned can they be brought into use for
school purposes. 1t is this policy,
particularly, that we refer to as
not containing the essen ce of
craftsmanship. While territory
is struggling under the disabilities of it's
subordinate condition, in the days OF it's
comparative poverty, these school lands
are reserved for school purposes but are
not available to the people. When they
need them the most they are denied their
use. When they have become rich enough
to assume the responsibilities of state
hood the school lands are given to them.
Utah will be glad of the aid which these
lands will afford in promoting the cause
of education in the new state, but if she
could have had part of their benefits
when laying the foundations of her school
system, she would have been able to make
much better educational showing.
Uncle SAN is liberal with the public
domain in his gifts for school purposes,
but he holds them back little too long to
accomplish the greatest good.

bloodsuckers is no valid excuse for the
wholesale bribery by which the Panama
scheme was kept ahoat. And the offers
made to influential men in this country,
with the large sums actually sent here
and expended, if not unlawfully at least
with an appearance of corruption, show
that the promoters of the scheme were
ready to use any means within their con-
troll to keep up appearances.
The sentences pronounced on the per
sons convicted in the French courts to
some extent yindicate the honor of the
nation. They are proof that such prac-
tees are condemned by the government
and people OF France. And they suggest
the query whether in this country they
would have been followed by so speedy
and severe punishment.
The means adopted in the United States
to procure funds for political purposes
and the manner of their expenditure,
would, in many instances, not reflect any
more credit upon American men and
methods than those exposed in the French
scandal. And the most lamentable thing
about the matter is that some of the most
noted men in this country think such
means perfectly legitimate SO long as they
are not found out.
Modern developments disclose the fact
that corruption Is not confined to one
class or country nor to one department
or party. Money is the great king, and
its golden sceptre rules the world. But
when the signs are that bribery and cor
ruption overbalance the honor and virtue
OF a nation, they may be taken as sure
tokens of impending downfall.

The Nevada Scheme.

In commenting upon the project of SEN
ator STEWART to annex Utah to Nevada,
said to be favored by number of promi-
nent politicians, mention is frequently
made of the need of consent on the part
OF the Nevada people. or course, no
change can be made by Congress, adding
to or taking from the domain of a state IN
the Union, without the acceptance of the
project by the state.
In answer to this, the action of the Ne
yada legislature in 1887 is cited. At that
time Senator STEWART had in view, for
the purpose of infusing new life into his
enfeebled commonwealth. the addition of
portion of the then territory of Idaho.
It was favorably considered by the state
legislature and resolution was adopted
empowering Congress to annex additional
territory to Nevada. That resolution re-
mains on the statute book and does not
specify any particular territory. 1t would
appear, therefore, that this would be all
sufficient, SO far as Nevada is concerned,
if Congress should choose to annex Utah
to Nevada.
But there is yet a question whether, in
such contingency, resolution adopted
with the intent and purpose of making
possible and lawful the annexation Of a
certain portion OF Idaho, would be all that
was necessary in case of an attempt 70 an
mex Utah to Nevada. 1t could be clearly
established that the end in view in the
first place was merely the addition of a
given section of another territory.
We do not think there is any real
danger of the success OF Senator STEW
ARTS scheme, although it is believed
there are several interests and persons be-
hind it, but it Is as well to look at the
matter from all available standpoints,
and to be prepared when the next attempt
is made to accomplish this purpose,
which we have no doubt is held by some
influential people seriously in view.

On FILE in the City Recorders Office is
report from the proper officer, which
plainly states that the Garbage ordinance
is practically nullifed by the people of
Salt Lake, who have not complied with
the provisions requiring householders to
keep receptacles for ashes, sweepings and
other refuse. This is accompanied by a
recommendation for division of the
whole city into districts and the levy of a
special tax upon the property for the re-
moval of garbage by the Health depart
ment. The recommendation covers the
only practical way OF dealing effectively
with a matter of grave interest to our
citizens. The district from which the
refuse is lnow removed by the city is an
exceedingly limited one, confined to the
business portion, whilst the rest of the
city is subject to high charges for haul
ing. This is equivalent to a premium on
uncleanliness, which in turn is an invita-
ton to disease The council ought to
look into this matter right now.

A Pressing Demand.

Any one who has crossed the Jordan
and the dam near the outlet from the
lake, knows that the stream is very full.
Every body who has lived here for several
years knows that as soon as the sun can
get in its work on the SHOWS stored in
the mountains, there will be rush of
waters with probable overflow of the
river.
This occasions serious reflections on the
part of people who live in low places in or
out of this city, which are liable to mum
dalton. Every available means to relieve
the river should be adopted. What they
are can easily be ascertained of the old
residents and men who have had the
management of such affairs in years
past.
The city council and the county court
ought to be stirring themselves, these
times, to guard against impending trou-
bic. THE HERALD does not desire to
create or echo needless alarms, but ex-
perience has shown that preparation is
needed for emergencies which are likely
to arise very soon, and if it is not taken
at once very serious consequences will
ensue.
This continued humidity and downfall
are signs of that which is to come. The
volume OF water which will pour down
in all the canyon streams is sure to be
great and almost certain to come sud-
denly, because the season is so far adj
vanced that as soon as this remarkable
weather clears off, the atmospheric tenn
perature will change as if by magic and
the lightly deposited SHOWS in the hills
will become water in harry. Then look
out for floods by overflow.
Every waste water ditch and supple
mentary canal made to carry off surplus
water should be cleaned out and put in
condition to perform its work AS soon
as irrigation is needed the regular canals
viii draw off large volumes of water. But
it is right now, when an overflow is
threatening, that the proper precautions
should be taken and safety insured. VIII
Or city and county authorities take
friendly advice and see to this before it is
too late?

The negro population is increasing SO
