thousands of us tramping the street
hungry, hopeless and destitute. For
Gods sake keep away from this city.
Advertisements for laborers, sailors or
mechanics are false. Place no faith in
them. There are ten men here for every
job now.
There is no change of tariff policy yet
in operation in this country. But if
tariff reform. which Will be inaugurated,
were now in force, would not such ap-
peals as the foregoing be published by
every Republican paper in the country as
proof of the dire effects of free trade?
And If it is free trade that causes the
distress in London among the sunem-
ployed, is it protection that makes the
restitution and lack of labor prevailing in
San Francisco?
1t is better to seek for remedy for
these evils than to pretend to trace them
20 cause which has no bearing upon
them. Neither high tariff nor low tariff
is responsible. There are more hands
than work to employ them, and how to
create enterprises which will furnish labor
sufficient to give every man chance to
earn living, is one of the most serious
problems of the age.

AS to Motives.

There are some people in the world who
cannot understand that others take action
in important things except from mercen-
airy motives. An illustration of this is
afforded in an iIl-natured comment of a
contemporary on the announcement of
the New York Times that it will hence
forth be a Democratic paper. The writer
declares the Times proprietors are paid to
make this announcement and have always
been hired to make such criticisms as
have appeared in it of the policy of the
Republican party.
This disposition to impute selfish mo-
tives to others argues badly for the per-
sons and papers that entertain it. The
natural inference is that they judge other
folks by the standard of their own char
acter. Facts go TO show that they want
pay for every word of praise they bestow,
and bid for brides to Keep their mouths
shut when they see chance to make it
unpleasant for sensitive people.
There are writers in the world who
cannot be bought to pen line
contrary to their sincere convic-
tions. We do not know abso-
lutely whether this applies to the editor
OF the Times. We do know that the paper
has enunciated for years many Demo-
cratic principles, and that it has very
short step to take to stand on open
Democratic ground.
We take it that the simple change eff
fected is for iustifiable reasons and that
it is done in all sincerity. But we would
not like to say that there is any sincerity
or honor in the carping critic who logic
ally is ready to sell his pen and brains
to people whom he affects to despise, and
full of bitterness because they will not
shell out to keep him quiet, attacks the
motives of the gentlemen who stand on
plane far above the ordinary scribes that
shoot their inky darts in pointless envy.

Better Compromise.

Today and tomorrow will be the chill
dren's days at the Temple in this city
The times at which the Sunday schools
will be admitted are published in another
part of THE HERALD.
1t is a matter of regret that the disagree
ment between the RAILROADS and the people
in Weber county has not been settled as
regards the rates of transportation. Utah
county is in a similar condition. 1t is
computed that about 8, 700 Sunday school
children would have come to this city
from that county If lower rats could
have been obtained from the railroads.
This, with the 3 900 from Weber, makes
over 5000 fares that the railroads will
lose.
Of course there will be great disap-
pointment among the little folks. A few
Of them will come, no doubt. at the
present rates. But 1t will be but few
compared with the thousands that would
have been brought here, if what the
parents think reasonable figure would
have satisfied the railroads.
Is there not yet time to effect a com
promise? The leading men OF the two
counties named are determined not to
succumb to the terms of the roads, and it
does look as though less rate than that
determined on would pay the companies,
considering the large number who would
take advantage OF a smaller rates. Fix it
at once if it can be done!

Shearing too Soon.

One of the mistakes that sheepmen FREE
quently make is shearing too early i'll the
season. This is very backward year.
There is so much snow in the mountains
that every breeze coming over them has
frost in its breath. The air is chilly even
in the day time and down in the valleys,
while up in the hills it is still colder and
at night inclement.
The desire to get wool into the market
so as to secure good figures before the
glut comes on, and often dire necessity to
raise some money, induce the sheepmen
to clip too soon. The consequence is that
the sheep are injured and many of them
perish.
1t is contrary to humanity to expose the
poor creatures, shorn of their natural
coverings, to the inclement blasts and
occasional SHOWS OF early spring. The
weather is yet too uncertain 10 trust in
prospects of clever skies and warmer sun
shine.
Humanity has no plea Tor some folks,
financial reasons should at least have
weight. A heavy storm following the
sheariug will play havoc in flock and
cut down the profits OF the herd mater
tally. Better wait till more convenient
and safer season. Sheepmen, don't begin
to shear until the season is more advanced
and the weather is settled!

Powers of School Trustees.

a correspondent in a distant county
asks US to answer the following through
the columns OF the HERALD:
tsIf school district runs out of funds
for this school year, and the school board
desires to keep school going two months
longer, can they legally do SO by giving
orders to the teachers; said orders to be
paid out of next years appropriations?
(The extra time to be in this year,
Should the people have say, or is the
school board allowed to do as they please,
right or wrong?
The question is not sufficiently clear to
bring forth a definite answer. If the
''extra time' means two months longer
than the school year, we should say no.
The law provides that the school year
shall begin on the first day of July in each
year, and close on the last day of June OF
the year following. Also that that every
district school shall be kept in session not
less than two terms in each school year.
unless the average attendance of pupils
therein for twenty consecutive days shall
be less than twelve.
But it is also provided that the board OF
trustees shall determine and fix the
length of time the school in the district
shall be taught in each year, and when
each term of school shall begin and end.
A term however is fixed by law to mean
ten weeks.
Take these provisions together, and it
appears that the trustees have power to
say how long school shall be kept in the
year, providing it is not longer than from
the first of July to the end of the follow
ing June, nor less than twenty weeks;
and they may determine when the terms
shall begin and end subject to the other
provisions. All this without reference to
the people OF the district.
AS to the compensation of teachers, a
great deal depends upon the contract or
agreement between them and the trustees.
The law requires trustees to contract with
teachers when they employ them. The
contract must be in writing and it must
not extend beyond the thirtieth day of
June next following. Trustees cannot
enforce anything on the teacher outside
of that contract. If therefore the extra
two months referred to by our corre-
spondent is beyond the time of the con-
tract, or later than the end of June, it is
outside of the authority of the trustees
and cannot be legally required.
Orders on next years funds are not
within the provisions of the school law.
A great many things can be done, how
ever, by mutual agreement that may not
be specially provided by law. In case OF
controversy between the teacher and
trustees in any school district, the county
superintendent is the person to appeal to.
and he, becoming acquainted with all the
circumstances, can give decision better
than newspaper can with only general
principles and provisions for guide.
It is presumable that the trustees desire
to maintain school in their district as
long as possible within the limits of the
law, and that the teachers are ready to
aid them in this matter so far as is con-
sistant. Without further particulars we
can give no further opinion in relation to
this matter.

The Unemployed.

There are 8 host Of people in Great
Britain who are unemployed. There
always have been multitudes out of work
in all the countries of Europe. Repub-
lican papers declare that this is the effect
of free trade. OF course that is folly, be-
cause similar and even worse conditions
existed when protection was the policy of
old England.
In early times there was more labor in
the United States than hands to perform
it. immigration, the great increase in
population, the use of labor-saving ma
chinery and other causes have changed
this. In ell the great cities of this land.
and in some of the smaller, there are
large numbers of people unemployed.
Is this the result of protection? We
do not say so. We might refer to Ger
many and other protected countries to
show that the working classes there suf-
fer great distress from low wages and
lack of employment, but we do not wish
to attribute these evils to the practice OF
protection.
Here is San Francisco, where one would
suppose work would be found for every
idle hand, crying out against the influx
OF laborers. The unemployed have or
ganized and by an executive committee
sent to the country the following ap-
peal:
The San Francisco unemployed in mass
meeting assembled, to workingmen OF
every trade and calling. Greeting
brothers: Do not be deceived by false re-
ports. The city Of San Francisco is
crowded with idle men. There are
