Ono of the officials Of tho College of
Arms estimated that upward of 7J per
cent Of those using the cockade on the
hats of their servants did SO without an
atom of right, and he branded this as
sumption. like all other assumptions. as
alike unmeaning, ridiculous and con-
temptiblo in the highest degree.
The following may lead many to dis
criminate between those who rightly and
those who wrongly use such distinction;
The cockade is the symbol of immedi-
ate service to the crown, and in the hats
of servants actually means this;'I serve
one, who now serves the queen"

Japan's Land Tax.

The land tax is continual grievance
in Japan. In Mitford's Tales of Old
Japan" Is related the story Of Sakura,
who met his death in the seventeenth
century by his resolution in bringing be-
fore the shotgun IN person the grievances
of his fellow asriculturists, oppressed by
their feudal lord. Unable to obtain re-
dress from any subordinate authority,
he concealed himself beneath bridge
over which the shogun's procession must
inevitably pass, and climbing out at the
crucial moment thrust his memorial at
the end of n bamboo stick into the die
tator's litter This was n capital offense,
and even handed justice punished the
oppressors, but executed the complain
snt.
An Englishmnn travelling lately in the
part of the country inhabited by this
japanese tribune found his tomb and a
temple erected TO his memory, which has
been highly honored of late years. The
visitor pointed out that Sakura had been
crucihed for complaining Of the rent.
"Yes," said the malcontent farmers,
"but the rent was decreased. They don't
cruelty us now, but they don't lower the
tax" Everything" continues the OBJ
server, Twas the fault of the government
If it raiued, if the dams burst, if there
was blight, 1t was all in consequence
of land tax."-Nineteenth Century.

The boys in the city proper are finding
fault because in picking out streets on
which coasting viii be allowed this win
Ter the aldermen did not pick out more
streets that are tipped up at one end.
This is on the dead level, like nearly all
the streets named in the published list.
All men who have been boys once like
to see boys coasting. Any bitter old
cynic who complains against this sport
was always bitter old cynic and was
never a boy himself. At the same time
bows should not coast where they endan-
ger their own safety or the safety of

MUNICIPAL LAwLEssNEss.

All over the country the people are
awakening to the fact that the munich
pal laws are not enforced and that to
a certain extent lawlessness reigns SUI
preme. The Lexow committees in
vestigation in New York proves that it
is so in the greatest of American
cities. The work Of the Civic feder-
alton in Chicago proves that it is so
there. And now Kansas City is finding
it to be so. The Star of that city has
the following true and timely remarks:
"The officers of the law in this town
can stop law breaking here if they
will. There is no doubt about 1t.
There is not a reform which the people
desire that may not be secured by the
enforcement of the laws now on the
books. The blame for the present con-
dition of things, the gambling and the
Sunday saloon and the presence of an
organized gang of toughs in Kansas
City, lies with the officers of the law.
The people have three times declared
that they are in favor of better things.
And what is more to the point, they
will stand by a judge or an officer who
is determined to clean up this city.
The police officer who does his duty
needs not to fear the 'ptlsh,' nor the
gang He has the moral strength of
this community behind him.

THE CRY OF FRAUD.

The organ of the Republican party
is just now engaged in crying, Fraud!
Fraudr and charging all sorts of vii
famous things against the Utah Com
mission and the registration officers.
Not a single, solitary instance of fraud
or attempted fraud has been shown;
nor do we believe it can be shown.
Not a voter comes forward and says
he has been denied the right to regis
ter, not an instance is cited of a single
name being placed upon the registra-
ton lists that is not entitled to be
there.
Then why is it done? What is the
purpose of it all? The cry of fraud is
a confession on the part of those rails
ing it that they are losing the fight,
that their cause is a lost cause. This is
what it means, and the purpose is to
have some excuse to give after the
election why the Republican party fail
ed to carry it. The cry of fraud is not
a new cry. 1t is an old one, and is al
ways raised when the party sees GER
tain defeat before the election. 1t is
the Oedtn TdCLle III the llTOdt.
The Republican party, its managers
and it's press have been over conf
dent They had thought to scare the
people with the ghost of the dead Nc
Kinleyism, and TO make them believe
that McKinleyism was Americanism.
But they have failed, and failed signal
~. Recognizing their failure in the
bold attempt at deception and that the
people have found them out, they see
defeat staring them in the face and
raise the cry of fraud to cover their
retreat.
The cry of fraud is the cry of de-
feat; it is simply that and nothing
more. Are the advocacy Of their prin-
ciples and the praise of their candi-
date to cease entirely? 1t would so
seem. The Republican campaign is
fast coming to be naught but a cry Of
fraud before election and claiming
everything after it.

Provo platform which we have repro
duced
There had been no Democratic legis-
lation when the army of the unem-
ployed took up it's line of march. No
one knew that better than the persons
who framed that piece OF impertinent
deception. The cause of that army
and of the falling prices and lack of
labor has been given by the Repub-
lican organ in this city. 1t has said
repeatedly that 1.-The cause dated from
Der, 1893" What was it? Republican
decentralization of silver and refusal
to restore it.
Without Misrepresentation, the falsi-
fication of facts and the prostitution
of principles, Republicanism as set
forth in this territory would be no.
thing. The Provo convention adopted
the fragrant falsehood we have cited,
and the Salt Lake convention endorsed
| it in all its naked mendacity.
The Salt Lake Republican conven-
ton also repeated the namby pamby
weak tea declaration of the Provo con-
vention as to silver in this way:
I'VE again declare ourselves in IA
vor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver in the ratio of 16 to L.
Yes, when the nations of Europe are
willing. The great issue as to silver
at the present time is the question of
independent action by the United
States, All the bogus bimetallists are
willing to move when European con-
sent is obtained. The Democratic
platform adopted in the Salt Lake
Theatre is no tepid, hating, poor
pussy declaration; it says:
I'VE demand the passage of a law
both gold and silver at the ratio of L
to 16, without waiting for the consent
of any other nation; and that the gov
eminent shall pay out silver so coined,
as money of ultimate redemption, the
same as gold"
The difference is so plain and forci-
BILE that it needs no pointing out;
comparison, or rather contrast is all
that is necessary. The rest of the Re
publican platform of Monday night is
simply clap-trap. There is no principle
in it and no reasoning or light The
fiabbiness of the whole thing is per-
ceptible and it may be dismissed with
out further consideration.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican convention of Salt
Lake County endorsed the territorial
party platform framed at Provo. One
of its planks is this:
I'VE view with regret the increase of
the great army of unemployed men
and women of our country, and charge
this unfortunate condition to the mall
administration, legislation and mis-
rule of the Democratic party"
How is that for impudence and folly,
to say nothing of direct falsehood?
'The great army of unemployed" has
disbanded since Democratic legislation
has been inaugurated. 1t was organ
lied under Republican legisla-
ton, maladministration and mis-
rule, and was encouraged in
its senseless march TO the national
capital by Republicans in the west, in
GLIDING some in this city who helped
to frame the fraudulent plank in the
