Best All-ArOund Hog.

A we'll known farmer and breeder
writes as follows concerning the best
all-around hog:
"A word to those who may not be
thoroughly acquainted with the Berk-
shire hog. They are the Oldest OF any
Of the breeds and have been pure Tor
over one hundred years; are compact
hog of good size, superior quality and
wonderful constitutions: are always
smooth and ready for tho market at
any age, and universally command the
highest price in the market; are noted
for their we'll marbled meat, and carry
large proportion of the best cuts of
high priced meats, viz back and hams.
A commission man at Chicago once
said. on selling for us a car load Of
prime harr0ws weighing an average of
4O9 pounds, that our hogs were the
best backed hogs that came to the
yards. The Berkshire cannot be en-
celled for crossing on the common or
other hogs OF the country, Jas he Is a
prepotent sire and leaves the impress
Of his race on his get. A neig bbor OF
ours once brought Chester white SOW
and bred her to one Of our Berkshire
boars and at narrowing time found to
all appearances as fine u litter OF Berk-
shire as could be desired. We think
the Berkshire is the best 'all-around
hog for all purposes that can be found,
and will convert grass and grain into
more profit and thrive in all climates
better than any other breed, and that
is why we breed Them

THE LIGHTING TAX IMPOSITION.

The new ordinance in relation to
street lighting has not yet been APPROX
ed by the mayor We hope it will not
receive his official signature. Some Of
our views in reference to it have al
ready been expressed. We now add a
few more.
The ordinance establishes a lighting
district. It's boundaries have been
described in the local press. They
leave out a large part of the city on all
sides. Within its limits street lamps
are to be maintained at the intersec-
tons of streets, and the expense of the
lights is to be borne by the people own
ing property in their vicinity.
How is the money TO be collected? By
a tax of so much per front footage.
That is to say, If property owner who
has a business establishment fire.
euented by the public and his place of
business takes up forty feet frontage,
he will pay but one-third to one-fifth
of the amount which another taxpayer
viii have to contribute for the public
benefit, who has private residence on
a street eornerl The business man who
needs the light most will have to pay
the least.
If the tax is to be seven cents per
front foot, the same as the sprinkling
tax which it is to supersede, forty feet
which a merchant may have to pay for
would amount to $3.50 The owner of a
residence lot 5x5 rods, even if there is
no house upon it and it is distant from
the business centre, would have to pay
s1155,
The front footage principle is wrong
in this instance at least. 1t is a depar-
ture from the principle that a local as
sessment should be proportional to the
benefits received by the payers of the
tax. Our city fathers are following a
by-path in municipal management.
They did not originate the method but
they are copying after an evil example.

FACTS FOR FAIR CONSIDERATION.

In the midst of all the smoke and
dust, the roaring and the Tuning of
agitated demagogues, let the sober,
fair-minded citizens ponder on these
few sfacts.
For the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention, the Utah
Commission are constituted the can
vassing board in person. They are re-
quired to act under the laws of the
United States and of the Territory of
Utah.
Previous to canvassing those returns,
that body requested the legal opinions
of four eminent lawyers of this city,
two of them Democrats and two Re
publicans. These four agreed that the
Commission should take the registry
lists, the poll books and the tally
sheets as the returns. Also that if nee
essity arose under the law they must
go to the ballot boxes
In acting on these agreements of
legal opinion, they examined the re-
turns and found that in a very large
number Of instances irregularities and
discrepancies existed. When these
taken together in any county or cleo
Ition district and credited to the minority
candidates, were found insufficient to
affect the result, they accepted them
on their face That is in accordance
with the Utah statute
In cases where the votes were close
and tho dieorepapr;ec vuere c,rao
enough to affect the result to any can
didate, they proceeded to open the bal
lot boxes and count the votes. That
is also required by the Utah statute
The ballot boxes in the first place
were sent for on the demand of the
two Republican members of the Utah
Commission. They wanted the ballot
boxes when they thought it was for
the interest of their party. AS soon as
it appeared that the discrepancies
when corrected showed that votes for
Democrats had been credited to Re-
stopped.
The injunctions issued by Judge
Bartch were applied for to prevent in.
vestigation. Their purpose is to stop
the Utah Commission from finding out
for whom the votes, improperly can
vassed as the returns show, were le
gally cast.
The ballot boxes were conveyed to
the Utah Commission safely, sealed.
and in the condition sent. They were
placed in a room, the door of which
was fastened with Yale lock. Pre-
viously they We're reseaIed by the
Commission so that there could be no
tampering with them. There is not a
particle of truth that there has been.
The majority of the Utah Commission
have acted strictly within the law. as
construed by the four lawyers, two of
whom are leading Republican lights.
There is positively no evidence what
ever that they have done anything
wrong. The courts will decide whether
they have a legal right to count the
ballots. The law, however, is SO plain
that he who reads may understand.
The returns being undoubtedly in
correct, the question, where the votes
are close, as to who have been legally
elected can only be determined by a
recount. There is no other way. The
law provides for it in such cases. But

Over the hills and far away
A little boy steals from his morning play,
And under the blossonling apple tree
He lies and he dreams of things to be;
OF battles fought and of victories won
OF wrongs o'erthrown and OF great deeds
done;
OF the valor that he shall prove some
day,
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away,
Its oh for the toll and the liyelong day
But 1t mattereth not to the soul aflaine
With the love for riches and power and
fame?
On, oh man. while the sun is high
On to the certain joys that lie
Yonder, where blazeth the noon of day
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
An old man fingers at close of day
NOW. that his journey is almost done,
HIS battles fought and his victories won,
The old-time honesty and truth,
The trustfulness and the friends of
youth,
Home and mother, where are they?
Over the hills and far away
Over the years and far away?

LYING DISPATCHES.


II appears that a great deal of dill
gence is being exercised 10 prejudice
the eastern press on the election ques-
ton, which will have TO be decided by
the courts. A number of prominent
papers are receiving special dispatches
from Salt Lake, similar to that which
1--WE copied on Saturday from the New
York World.
BY the by, that telegram was also
a Special to the world. The re-
marks we made therefore are not ap-
plicable to the agent of the Associe ted
Press in this city. as he sent no such
dispatch, and what we said may be
taken by the sender of that special as
referring to him alone. But, whether
special or general. we do not object
to the publication of facts. 1t is only
partisan opinions that we protest
against being sent under the guise of
news.
1t is evident that there is a Repub-
lican movement to send these biased
and misleading dispatches over the
country in order to arouse animnsities
against the Democratic party CO Utah.
We are of the opinion that they will
overshoot the mark The reaction will
come, and it win be seen where the
fraud, if any there be in the canvass
of votes at the late election, originated
and was for a time apparently success
full.
Meanwhile, the press of the country
had better be cautious about comment
ing in line with the specials sent from
this city of the kind which we have
exposed. 1t is not true that any Demo-
cratic canvassers have attempted I'M
lawful or other improper methods, but
the evidence all bears, most distinctly,
in the direction of their adyersaries.
We are glad to. know that the Salt
Lake agent of the Associated Press,
who is pleasant gentleman and we
believe entirely unbiased in his Of
fetal acts, is not in any way responsible
for the special dispatches which are
being sent out to deceive the public.
