A Great Fake.

In our news column to-day will
be found an article from the Balti-
more Amerjcaj5 of Tuesday which
will certainly afford much amuse-
ment to the people Of Garrett
county. Our citizens living in Dis
tricts Nos. 0 and II may look out
for large influx of silver prospect
ors shortly, seeking the Ell Dorado
which the correspondent of the
american has conjured up for the
delectation of its readers.
We trust that the people Of Bal
timore, readers of our distinguished
contemporary, will not be beguiled
into considering seriously that such
a region as that depicted IN this
weird mountain tale exists IN Gar
rett county. That silver ore is to
be found IN the locality mentioned
there can be no doubt but that any
human being could live there for
years without coming into contact
wit our people and amass the
wealth mentioned is too silly for
consideration by persons Of ordinary
intellect.
We may be wild and woolly in
our mountain Businesses but such
fakes as this don't go.

The Tariff Bill in The Senate.

The imbroglio upon the tariff bill
in the Senate is complicated to such
an extent that The probable result
is not at all clear. The situation is
made more uncertain by what is
known as the "Democratic decem-
yirate, > for it is aSrertained as a
fact that ten Democratic Senators
have signed an agreement to oppose
the Wilson bill so long as any one
of the ten is dissatisfied with the
provisions of the bill, or until
changed to the satisfaction of all
ten. 1t is said that "decemvirate"
is the explanation for Senator Voor-
hees' angry words in the Demo-
cratic caucus some days ago, when
he accused certain Democratic SEN
ators with having formed combi-
nation to defeat the Wilson bill.
Certain it is that such q condition
of affairs in the Senate would mean
defeat to the bill unless coal, iron.
sugar, wool, and collars and cuffs
are restored to protective tariff
basis.
The feeling among the Demo
cratic Senators against German and
Hill is especially bitter, and if it
were possible for them to pass the
bill without yielding anything to
these two Senators they would do
so. There are so many involved,
however, in the demand for conces-
sion that they cannot be entirely
ignored. The Democratic major
ity in the Senate is only three.
There are forty-four Democrats,
thirty-elght Republicans and three
Two Democratic votes
against the bill would defeat it, and
unless material concessions are
at least three Demo-
cratic Senators would vote against
it. These three Senators are CAT
ferry, the successor Of White, of
Louisiana, and Smith, of New Jer-
sey.

A SSGS Snnent.

The Hayes assessment bill passed
the Senate of Maryland on Friday
Of last week by vote of nineteen
to six, and we are pleased that the
vote of our Senator was recorded in
the negative.
This statement may come rs a
surprise to a large number of the
readers of The REPUBLICAN, but
we are confident that were they
acquainted with the bill in its pres
ent emasculated form, they would
entirely agree with us. Another
reason why we are glad that Gar
rett's representative voted as he did
is because the Democratic party in
the State of Maryland is entirely
responsible for all legislation,
whether it be good, bad or indif-
ferent, and that party having in
three successive campaigns pledged
itself to a fair and equitable reval
uation of property, and having as
often failed to carry out its promise,
could not expect to be eXtricated
from the snarl into which it has
gotten itself by Republican aid.
We do not believe that there is
now or eyer has been an honest
intention on the part of the Demo
cratic managers to pass the kind of
bill which would relieve or evenly
distribute the burden of taxation
among the people. Some excuse
has always been found for theil
failures to pass such a bill, and We
have no doubt that when the session
Of 1894 closes that the people OF
Maryland will be just as far from
the oft-promlSed relief as ever
indeed it has been suggested that
the people vote upon the question
Of a re-assessment, and this in the
face Of the oft-repeated promises Of
the Democratic party to pass the
bill. What the fate of the Hayes
bill will be in the House of Dele
gates we are unable to say, but Ger.
tain 1t is the Governor will not
sign the bill in the shape in which
it passed the Senate.

Why He Went DuckInG

The awful revelation is made that
the President took to the swamps
to get away from the opportunities
of the politicians of his party. He
was especially annoyed by their eff
forts to get him to side with one
faction, then another, on the tariff
bill. This is somewhat fishy. 1t
is a very small faction of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress which opposes the
Wilson bill. Only seventeen Demo-
cratic votes were polled against
that measure in the House.
The President and the big major
ity Of the Democrats in Congress
have stood together for the bill. If
he went away to escape the lmpor-
tunities of thc small minority he is
lacking in courage. 1t can hardly
be true that Senator Hill and his
shadow have importuned the Presi-

patentees aid and assistance, and
that he had reasons TO believe his
said letters had miscarrled and had
not come to their hand, for that
they had lately INSTRUCTED the pro-
ceedings upon his said letters pat
ents and had not permitted the

or according to the tenor thereof.

Neither are we intending, nor our

Local Reciprocity.

The application of the principles
of reciprocity should be made in
every town on city that is ambitious
of attaining prosperity. The me-
chanic or laborer who lives in a
town, and who is dependent on the
people Of that town or community
for employment. who spends his
money in another city has no right
to complain if his neighbor refuses
to employ him, but instead imports
a workman from some other locality
to build his house, lay his wall or
paint his barn as the case may be.
The merchant or shop-kecper
who ignores his townsman IN a diff
ferent line Of business when he
wishes to make q purchase goes
from home to trade is not entitled
to the least consideration from the
people Of his town. It's the duty
Of every person residing in a COM
munity to as far as possible to reclp-
rocate the many benefits which the
community has conferred upon him,
and the individual who fails in this
regard is not endowed with that
public spirit which characterizes a

PRorEoTIoN AND SILVER.

Thomas B. Reed has seen the neces-
sity of training his artillery to bear
upon the presidential nomination, and
has taken a back somersauit and be-
come a free silver man. OF course it
is a pleasure to see this Republican
leader approach to a tenable position
on at least one public question, and he
will be welcomed by those who are
carrying on the crusade for silver, il
he proves to be in earnest.
That this sudden change is in recog-
milton of the sentiment in favor OF
silver that is sweeping over the east
is evident. However. the previous ut
terances OF this idol of the Republican
party will flavor his present actions
with a faint of suspicion and the sill
yer men should not place too much
reliance on his profession of faith.
While Mr.. Reed comes out in favor
of free silver. he commits the grievous
error of claiming that the Republican
party will take up the crusade and
carry the standard on to victory. The
Republican party is too subservient to
the power of money in its creed, from
high protection down, to champion
anything that would be nauseating to
that power. While what is called the
conservative wing of the Democratic
party will not Immediately grant the
needed relief, yet the great body of the
Democratic voters and the great ma
jority of their representatives are in
favor of free silver, and the only reli-
able hope for the white metal is with
the Democratic party.
Mr.. Reed commits further grievous
error by saying that protectionism
and free silver will go hand in hand
If they do they can be likened tc
beauty and the beast or an angel and
a satyr. If they do, the people will
lift only one incubus that Expresses
them and allow the other still to bend
their backs in unceasing toll and
make them grow old before their time
No. Mr.. Reed. the alliance of free
silver and protectionism can never
prove happy. 1t would be unnatural
1t would be illogical. To give the far.
mer a measure of justice by taking
the premium off gold and allowing hin
to sell his products at a fair figure
thus relieving himself of DISTRESSING
mortgages, would be good. To allow
the great nav of protection to still
gulp down an unjust amount of his
earnings would be grossest evil.
Free silver must come. Protection.
ism must go.

CHINESE JOURNALISM.

The manners and customs of the oc-
cident are making their impress on the
Orient Westward the star of empire
takes its way" but it's light shines back
upon the east, and the effects of its in
creasing power are felt where it is sup
posed to have taken its rise.
Japan is rapidly adopting European
and American customs. Puck pictures
the effects of American dress, inven-
ton, habits and freedom on the Japan
csc mind, in brilliant caricature. China
is feeling the effects of american inter
course and commerce, and the light of
Asia is glowing with western tint.
Among the innovations copied from
this country in the Celestial Empire, y
is the daily newspaper. There are al
ready three daily papers printed in the
Chinese language in Canton, and the
native merchants are beginning to I'M
derstand the advantages of advertising.
Until lately, the advertising columns of
Chinese papers were patronized only by
foreigners doing business in China.
According TO the Figaro, Paris, the
most noteworthy publications in China
are at present: Chen-Pao, Shanghai
News; Hu-Pao News of HUI, another
name for ShanghaD; Tsing-Pao, News
of the Capital, Peking); Che-Pao DAILY
News, Tien-tsin); Kwong-Pao Canton
News; Ling-namje-Pao News of Ling
nam, old name for Canton).
These all contain editorial articles on
matters of local and foreign interest.
The leading questions of the times are
discussed. News by telegraph from the
capital and abroad is not wanting, and
the usual quantity of murders, suicides,
fires, and sporting items are supplied to
the readers just as regularly in China
as in Europe.
Referring to this, the Literary Digest
gives the following as editorial COM
ments culled from the Chinese Press by
the Ost-Asiatische Lloyd in Shanghai

which general news is dished up in

this, which appeared on May 26th:
William Robinson was in the party,
but is simply held for trial upon an
Indictment charging him with burglar
izing the postoffice at Panguitch He
was held upon the affidavit of Sam
Alphin, who swore that Robinson had
been his confederate and that they had
obtained $50. When under searching
examination, however, Alphin stated
that he had been induced to implicate
Robinson under promise Of the assist
ant district attorney at Beaver that It
would lessen his punishment. The de-
claration in open court is described as
having created a sensation and upon
it Robinson's bail was cut down from
$1,000 to $3.50
The letter now received from Beaver
says:
Now the facts are these: Alphin,
when under a searching examination
in open court, stated that he had been
induced to inplicate Robinson as an
accomplice in his crime under promise
of the prosecuting attorney of Garfield
county that it would mitigate his pun
while undergoing imprisonment in the
county Jail at Panguitch, and had not
been renewed nor communicated since
his arrival in Beaver until his pres
ence before the court. Alphin then
confessed that he had wrongfully ac-
cused Robinson. and that he alone was
guilty of the crime.
| Then follows some remarks showing
that Mr.. Thurman disclaimed in open
court of having had any knowledge of
the pressure brought to bear upon the
prisoner in the implication of Robin
son, and on his motion the bail of
Robinson was reduced to $3.50
We omit the structures cast on The
Herald for mot doing justice" ETC., to
the gentleman named. because they are
totally unjustified, and if those who
are SO terribly exercised over this tenn
pest in a tea pot had read The Herald
of Tuesday. May %, they would have
sfound all the facts set forth above
as explained by Judge Bartch, show
ing that "the man Alphin" made his
statement to another person and not
to Assistant Attorney Thurman. If
that is not sufficient we hope this will
be. Also that if an error should occur
at any time in a report from distant
place, our friends who know the facts
will be kind enough to correct the
error without getting angry, and with
out casting blame on The Herald as
though we desired to misrepresent any
person or occurrence.
We published the account as it was
sent to us AS soon as the mistake
was pointed out-which only related to
an individual. one law officer being
named instead of another, the main
facts being accurate-we made the cor
rection. If this is not enough please
tell us what will be enough, for S. R
Thurman has no better friend in Utah
than is the Salt Lake Herald.

THE STREET RAILROADS.

The struggle that is going on be-
tween the rival street railroad COM
panies makes a division between a
number of our citizens. Fortunately it
is not of a very serious character.
These are such exciting times that it
does not take a great deal to set peo-
pie otherwise friendly into lively hos
tility. The citizens who take sides on
this question are not very earnest, and
so we need not look for anything seri-
Gus to grow out of the dispute, so far
as they are concerned.
As to the merits of the case there is
something to be said, as usual, on both
sides of the controversy. Yet we are
forced to the conviction from the facts
existing and the arguments adduced,
that the Salt Lake City Railroad COM
pany has the advantage. 1t is in pos
session of the disputed ground. 1t has
the right of its franchise. 1t supplies
the public need 1t is the original
source of transportation supply. 1t
should be sustained in its laudable and
enterprising efforts to meet the public
requirements. 1t ought not to be
hampered or intruded upon in its rights
and franchises by newer company.
It ought to be given a chance to reap
some of the fruits of its own exertions,
which it has as yet failed to receive.
Each company should occupy it's own
special sphere. Neither should en-
croach upon the other. Outside cor
porattons should not be encouraged,
either in coming in at a late date to
take advantage of the pioneer work of
others, or to gain privileges which
may be used to force the older corpora
ton into terms advantageous to the
new aspirant.
The contending company has termi-
nus at the theatre corner and one at
Main street on Second South. Either
lis in close proximity to the point aimed
at. But a single block is left out in
either direction. To double the tracks
on that block, or increase them by an
other single track, would crowd the
thoroughfare of the most busy block
in the city, and would create more in
convenience by far than it could posi-
bly, remove even on the roseate repre2
sensations of its promoters.
The Herald desires the prosperity of
both companies. They are furnishing
good service to the public. They each
have their own special spheres and
should be limited thereto. 1t is ITO be
hoped that our city fathers will not al
/ low themselves to be carried away by
needless movement under the guise
of a public benefit, which would be
/ Injurious to the company that in
augurated street transportation and
which has rights that ought to be pre-
