at large entirely out of the question,
we would advocate such. repeal unceas-
ingly.
We are surprised to find the Led
ger, which is shocked at the idea of the
| dishonesty of those who will do what
they can to evade the payment Of the
income tax, advocating the doctrine
that IF the majority of Congress have
not the courage and the wisdom nee
essary TO the direct repeal of the in
come tax rider of the tariff law, let
them indirectly effect its repeal by de-
feating its operation. This they can
do by refusing to appropriate the
money necessary to carry out its pro-
visions.
To Us this seems dishonesty in one of
its worst forms. Not only is it dishon-
esty but it inculcates and teaches dis
respect and contempt for law Every
student of political institutions knows
that to have laws upon the statute
book and not enforce them is to invite
contempt of them. We do not believe
in a protective tariff, but we would not
advocate that Congress make no ap-
propriations to pay custom house ex-
penses that the tariff might become a
dead letter. And if we did we should
think we were doing a very vile, con-
temptible and unpatriotic thing. Bet
ter tariff tinkering forever than that
Congress should ever act upon such
base principles Evidently, having its
being in Philadelphia. the Ledger has

lady to her son: Get rich, my son,

STILL AT ".

| The Tribune in the performance oil
its duty as journal published in the
| interests of the people of Utah, has
called attention to the plain intention
4 of Secretary Hoke Smith to defeat, ii
| possible, the law which provides for
the opening and settlement of the I'm
compahgre Indian reservation. Its
statements have been amply proved
| The Herald has tried by misrepresenta-
| ton and falsehood to deny that the
| Secretary of the Interior was opposed
| to the law, until its own Washington
correspondent wired it the same state
ment The Tribune had made.
The foregoing is the latest endeavoI
| of the Salt Lake Tribune to worm it
self out of the hole into which it has
fallen in a mad attack on the Secre-
/ tary of the Interior. The public nc
doubt understand the situation pretty
well. 1t would have no further inter
est but for the savage attempts of the
Tribune to put The Herald in false
position and thus turn away attention
from its own plumbers.
The Tribune's original charge against
the Secretary was that he would not
appoint the three Commissioners on the
reservation matter, also that he would
not appoint any Utah men on the COM
mission. For that alleged Refused the
Tribune called for his Impeachment,
and suggested an indignation meeting
to demand that the President of the
| United States should require the Sec
| rotary to perform that pretended duty
The Herald showed the folly and
falsehood of the Tribune fake, in the
fact that the President holds the ap-
pointing power and the Secretary
could not make the appointment if he
would. That is the whole case about
the Secretary.
The Herald admitted from the very
beginning that the Secretary might
have opinions adverse to one of the
provisions of the law. A subsequent
letter from Washington to The Herald
explained what that objection is Our
remarks and the correspondence tally
exactly. The Secretary cannot make
the appointments nor can he defeat
the purpose of the law.
The Tribune repeats, day by day
its miserable drivel over this matter,
but does not attempt to explain why
it called for Hoke Smiths "impeach
ment," nor why it continually de-
manded that he make appointments
which he had no power to make, nor
why it lied about the whole matter
when confronted with its own contra
editor is just now in full control.

TARIFF TTNKERING AGAIN.

1t has been claimed by the Repub-
lican press that what the country
wants is a rest from tariff tinkering.
1t would undoubtedly be a very good
thing and would be appreciated by the
people. But we find a leading Repub-
lican paper, the Philadelphia Ledger.
advocating the repeal of the income
tax provision of the tariff law. 1t says:
The best, because the wisest and
manifest, way TO defeat the tax on in
comes would be to directly repeal that
part of the tariff act which imposes it.
There are few, if any. who do not
know that this authorized levy had no
place in the original formulation Of the
tariff law of 1894; that it was subse-
quently placed as a rider upon the
Wilson bill in compliance with the de-
mands of many of the Southern and
Western Democrats and Populists.
The tariff bill is primarily bill to
raise revenue, and the income tax pro
vision was Incorporated for the very
definite and specific purpose of raising
revenue from incomes TO aid in de-
fraying the governmental expenses.
It was calculated that it would yield a
Gel tam dHlOuUl u revenue ana inns
was duly considered when the bill was
under consideration as a whole.
To undertake now to repeal it would
he TO begin that very tariff agitation
again that has been so greatly depre-
Gated by the Republican press. And
then how easy it would be to modify
or change or eXpunge certain other
provisions of the tariff bill along with
the repeal of the income tax provision.
1t could very easily be made to serve
as pretext for the opening of the
whole tariff question.
The Ledger is. very solicitous about
the matter. II says the tax is a wi
cious. mischievous one;" that it is sec
tional, and one which dishonesty will
evade and only honesty pay. 1t is a
simple mind, indeed, that thinks that
all municipal, state and federal taxes
now laid are all honestly paid by those
upon whom they are laid. The income
tax will not introduce dishonesty into
the world, for dishonesty was here
long before the income tax. If the re-
peal of the income tax provision of the
tariff law would drive dishonesty out

NEEDS A REST.

Can anybody explain what this para
graph means? 1t is from our lumin-
Gus CD neighbor, the Tribune. which is
suffering from the illusions of rabid
imbecile in the absence of the editor:

day displayed the remainder of the bile

left, or the town is in a bad way, and

Remainder Of whose "bile" and
what ''malevolence;' the Tribune's? Is
the town in "a bad way" because no
more is left?'' Or would it be all right
if it had more ''malevolence" and a
residue of ''bile?" Why does the town
need heavy doses of anti-febrine" OF
any doses at all? And does the Tri-
bune propose to supply the ''copious

pARrY RMoRGANIzATEoN.

Ever since the elections the critics OF
the Democratic party have been
preaching that the great need of the
hour for the party is reorga nizat ton.
Harper's Weekly has an article to this
effect in which ii is said the old lead
ers must he cast aside and it men
lions as such leaders Hill, Brice, Cor
man and Smith. These men have not
been looked upon as the leaders of the
party for a long time, except in their
own states and the Senate. The lead
land was inaugurated have been MI
Cleveland, Mr.. Wilson and Speaker
Crisp. These are the men to whom
the great mass of the Democrats have
looked as their leaders. The Demo-
Gratis looked upon the policy of the
House and not the policy of the Sen
ate as representing the party's policy.
When that policy found expression in
the form of a tariff bill it was in the
House, While it was in the Senate that
it was thwarted And HILL Brice, Cor
man and Smith were leaders there, if
anywhere. The conduct of the Senate,
noninally Democratic, towards the
Wilson bill was such as to elicit con-
demnation from the ranks of the De
mocracy, and this same condemnation
was such as to evoke the famous Will
son, letter from the President The
party certainly Endorsed that letter. not
for its details, which were not the es-
sential part, but for the spirit it
breathed and the arraignment of the
Senate it was supposed to contain. If
any President ever had the backing of
his party at large on any policy, surely
Mr.. Cleveland had it in his tariff pol

designated as the Democratic leaders
did not have the Endorsement of their
party.
Many reasons have been assigned for
the defeat of the Democrats, many ex-
plantations made, but neither separately
nor collectively are they satisfactory.

by whom the defeat was brought about

What will party reorganization eff

principle of the party today is tariff
reform, and it cannot, must not, be
abandoned. 1t has been partially tri-
umphant, and will find greater favor
with the people as time goes on. There
will be more or less party reorganiza-

lines already laid down. There will be

PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND PASSES

| In New Yorll's new constitution is
provision forbidding railroad COM
panies issuing free passes to public of
flcers and prohibiting them from ac-
| ceptlng them. Those affected bv the
provision are trying to devise means
by which it can be got around. 1t is
very doubtful whether they will sue
coed; they certainly ought not to.
1t is hard to conceive of anvthinr
more disgracefui than to have legisla-
tors, men who are to make the laws
OF state or territory, soliciting the
favor of free pass from a railroad
company. Think of their position. The

of it to look upon railroads as any,

imagination pictures them. And then
it tickles their vanity, that vanity that
sways men more or less in all their
actions.
We understand that this free pass
system for public officials obtains to
some extent in Utah, but we hope tha5
such is not the case. But for fear it
might be so, and lest, like all evil. it
grow greater. we suggest it would be
a very proper thing for the constitu
tional convention to initiate the New
York constitution in this respect.
The Washington Post thinks it is by
no means improbable that the House at
its coming session will make an effort
to pass a free coinage bill.
