A REPUBLICAN FIZZLE.

For several days past there have
been rumors afioat of desperate at
tempts by leading Republicans in this
city to gain possession of the registra-
ton books, or a copy of the regfstra-
ton made up to date. Large sums of
money have been offered to secure this
end. So far they have failed. There
have been boasts among some unwise
Republicans that they had cohen
fixed all right" and fears have been
entertained by persons who did not
know how affairs stood that there was
something in it.
In another part of this paper will be
found copies of correspondence be-
tween a committee of Republicans and
the Utah Commission to which we d.
rect public attention. In view of the
claims set forth in the letter from the
committee, its composition, course is
a secondary matter. But how either of
the signers of that fearfully and Won
derfully made creation could have put
his name to it, is matter of astonish-
ment. 1t must have been penned in
What is meant by: These records
are taken and can be taken only for
the public and by the public;;' Garry
ing out the electoral WILL" every step
the registrar takes is the expression of
the right of the public "a violation of
the right due to every person." and
similar obscurities we will not at
tempt to fathom. But the statement
that F@The statutes and laws require
him to do it." is so obviously erroneous
that it is worse than the nonsense pre-
viously quoted. 1t may be coupled
with the no less remarkable assertion:
You can compel him by saying it is
his duty to do ito
The reply Of the Commission is to the
point. 1t makes the fact clear that the
committee are as much in error in sup
posing the Utah Commission has power
to compel the registrar to furnish them
a list, as they are in saying 1.-THE
statutes and laws require him to do
it." These questions have been sprung
before, and we know of no decision of
court that cap be cited which shows
that the registrar is under any obliga-
ton 10 do what has been demanded of
him.
Under the circumstances now exist
ing, we are of the opinion that the
registrar will not be likely to back
down and suffer himself either to be

Some of them would do we'll to reflect

IN THE WRONG PEW.

The Louisiana sugar men who say
they have done with the Democratic
party, show that they have no bust
ness within its folds. They should go
to the Republican party. They would
be Democrats for revenue only if they
stayed with US. Democracy is not
built to buy support. Their only idea
of politics appears to be personal profit.
The good of the country is nothing
when pitted against their personal in
terests. That it Republicanism, it is
not Democracy.
The appeals made all the time by
Republican papers for support to their
party, are purely selfish and sectional
The question concerning any measure
of national import is not, with Repub-
licans, what will be it's general effect?
but how much viii you wool men, or
you lead men, or you sugar men make
by it? The doctrine enunciated is that
each section or corporation or indi-
vidual, as the case may be, must view
legislation from the standpoint of prob
able profits to him or it. That is pro-
tectionism carried out to it's legal ulti-
mate. So far it is consistent with it
self.
A prominent Republican in these
parts has given as one reason for his
affiliation with the party he upholds,
that he believed in providing for his
own. Passing by the fallacy of his
position as matter Of fact, let us look
at the reasoning. 1t is every man for
himself reduced to it's lowest point.
The true doctrine is that society, gov
eminent, politics are for the greatest
good to the greatest number; that mu-
tual regard and the welfare of the
whole are infinitely beyond the base
and paltry idea of sordid individualism.
The individual conceit is diabolical; the
reciprocal sentiment is divine.
The grand ideal of universal liberty
and mutual benefit is absolute and uni-
versal free trade. 1t is impossible of
present practical attainment. No party
or wise and studious person advocates
its immediate adoption. But it is a
goal to be reached some day, when the
brotherhood of man is a reality in
stead of mere sentiment. Now ma
tons must take such a course as is
consistent with existing conditions. But
the selfish individualistic heresy will
not tend in the right direction 1t will
lead the other way, which experience
will show is the downward road.
The reforms which have been intro
duced under the Democracy are steps
in the upward way and are inspired by
the generous and worthy motive. The
general good Of this country must gov
er1l, even if it be at the sacrifice of
smaller, individual, selfish interests;
but it will be seen that measures for
the good of the whole will work for the
benefit Of its constituent parts.
Trusts, corporations firms and per-
sons who see in a tariff measure moth
ing but that which will add to their
profits or take away from their gains
and are governed in their politics by
that spirit of greed, should go over to
the Republican party, if there are anv
OF them still numbered in the party on
the corner stone of whose creed is
written; Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none"

"a FEW pALTRY DOLLARS

AT Tuesday nights meeting of the
City Council there was considerable
talk about the water power in City
Creek. 1t was occasioned by a report
from the city engineer in reply to a
request for information regarding the
cost of running a preliminary survey
for pipe line and the placing of weirs.
The report said the cost would be about
$3.50 for a preliminary survey, and about
$500 for close estimate. The Council
did not make the appropriation.
The gentleman who had called for the
information urged very strongly that
the appropriation should be made that
the city might know what power it
had for generating electricity for light
ing the city. To find this out it would
cost but the "paltry sum" of $50. This
sum of itself is not considerable, but
there are so many "paltry sums" voted
by the Council for one thing and an
other that the city is running in debt
at the rate of about $4,000 a month.
This means that Salt Lake City is very
fast approaching bankruptcy. When
that time comes, and it is not very
far off, what will the City Council do?
The borrowing limit has been reached
and there can be no new issue of bonds,
and if it were not reached it would
only mean the city is at liberty to in
crease its debt. The borrowing limit of
the city means the limit of its credit
This has been passed and yet council
men talk very filppantly about a few
hundred dollars being "paltry sums"
They are only ''paltry'' when the
revenue exceeds by very considerable
sum the expenses.
Not only should the city's resources
be husbanded as closely as possible
but all expenses should be reduced to
the lowest amount possible 1t isn't
financering to run the city in debt
many thousand dollars month; any
one could do that. 1t is very doubtful
if any member of the Council sees any
thing ahead for the city but increased
and increasing debt This is not
cheering nor an inviting prospect, nor
one that is likely to induce capital to
seek investment here
The Council seems to sense the situa-
ton, and should be very particular
that ''paltry sums" of several hundred
dollars are not placed on the appropria-
ton list unless absolutely necessary.
A dollar in adversely is worth two dol
lars in prosperity.

HE PLEAsEs norH PARTIES.

It is pleasing to see that Hon. J. l..
Rawlins is not only receiving the en-
thusiastic and united support of his
but is being held up as worthy of the
suffrages of the Republicans of Utah.
1t is true. There are potent reasons
why he should obtain a large number
of Republican votes for his return. But
we did not expect such arguments in
his favor as are cred by the Repub-
lican organ in Il city. The only rea-
son it urges aga1nst his reelection, af-
ter the splendid record he has made
which seems to be as much approved
by orr contemporary as by his own
party-is that 1--WE cannot spare him. y
He is lone of the foremost of our cit
izens." 1.-THE people of Salt Lake and
Utah love him SO much that they can
not bear to have him away even for a
short time in Congress-" Therefore.
1--WE must have him here"
This is very f1attering to the gentle
man. He would prefer to stay here
himself. But seeing that he has waiv-
ed personal desires for the good of the
territory. in response to the acclama-
tons and demands of the people, it is
only proper that they set aside their
personal wishes for his presence and
society and eminent legal ability at
home. in view of the public welfare
We believe that he will receive the
support of great many voters who
are not numbered in the Democrat
membership. He is worthy of election
outside of any partisan reasons. The
Republican organ, even, comedies that
Republicans can consistently endorse
his official acts. There is no one that
can truthfully find fault with them.
Better relv upon a certainty. Roll up

ord is impeachable,
