AS TO STATEHOOD.


This postal card inquiry has been
received and we give brief reply:
''Will you please state through your
columns the advantages and disadvan-
tages connected with statehood; and if
Utah viii be permitted to vote for
the next president, and oblige,
A SUBSCRIBER.
The advantages of statehood are
numerous. but may be summed ur in
| the statement that it will give to the
people of this territory the full rights
and privileges of American citizen
ship. Among these are the right to
elect all their local officers-Governor,
Judges, Legislators and minor officials;
the right to send Representatives to
Congress according to population, and
two Senators, each of whom will have
vote on all national affairs, and the
right to vote for President and Vice
President of the United States, in COM
mon with the rest of the people of the
country.
A state makes its own laws to reg
ulate it's own affairs without the SUI
pervision of Congress. The President
and Senate cannot appoint local Of
lficers without the consent of the peo-
pie in a state as they can in terri
tory Thus statehood will make Utah
independent and free, and give its
people influence and power in the af-
fairs of the nation of which they form
q part, whereas now they have no
voice or vote thereon.
Statehood is to communities what
majority is to a man. 1t places them
on a plane OF equality with older COM
monwealths and relieves them from
the leading strings and tutelage of
territorial minority. 1t will give sta
bility and permanency to the political
organism, and settle in the minds of
have prevailed here and which have
more less effect upon capital that will
feel secure in making investments
when Utah is established as a state
Greater and more rapid growth and
development will naturally come from
sovereign statehood than from terri
torial vassalage.
One of the disadvantages will be
the expense of self-government. The

while at least With a large increase
of population and the development of
our resources, that may not be of suf-
ficient magnitude to cut an important
figure. In case of war Utah would
have to furnish her quota of men.
Some people think that a disadvan-
tage. others do not. There will be
more of a scramble for offices under
statehood than at present, because
there will be more officers to elect. If
responsibilities and duties are disad-
vantages, which we do not admit,
there will be more of them under
statehood than now, and those per-
sons who look upon them in that
light, may count them in.
The people of Utah will vote for the
next President of the United States if
the programme marked out in the en-
abling act is followed. Under it Utah
will be a state before the close of
1895 and will be exercising all the
functions of statehood long before the
Presidential election in 1896. This, we
hope, will answer the queries of a
number of people besides our cores
pondent Subscriber

The Trihune's rehash Of old dishes on
silver is musty with age and makes no
appeal to the present palate Everybody
is familiar with its mouldy platitudes
about the purchasing power Of gold.
The poiitt in dispute is as to silver coin.
We say. and the law says, it is legal
tender for everything in this country
as good as gold. except when there is
a special contract to the contrary. The
Tribune wants t. put the silver dollar
on a level with a greenback dollar and
thereby attempts to deceive the public
A silver dollar is money just as much
as gold dollar is in the United States.
and greenback is only a substitute
for money. And all the old, bearded
and moss-covered roundabout Tribune
isms viii not alter that patent and po-
tent fact

The Herald has called attention to
the danger to pedestrians from allowing
bicyclists to ride on the sidewalks
Eastern cities are finding them a dan
ger. even in the streets. But this can
only be where there is a dense popula-
ton. In the Philadelphia Times of the
18th inst, we find the following editor
sal: Even though it may add to grief
already poignant. the warning should
be sounded against the recklessness of
bicycle riding in the crowded city
streets Miss Nellie Ryrnes. who was
killed at Broad street and Fairnount
avenue, is the first victim of this sort
Of recklessness. To many who have
observed the increasing number and
holiness of bicycle riders along our
principal streets. the wonder is not that
one has been killed. but that many
have not been killed before"

The Webster Literary society, COM

THE PRESS ON urAHs ADMISSION.

Below we give the comments on the
Utah statehood bill of various leading
papers of the country:
When the bill to admit Utah as a
state, with the Senate amendments
was laid before the House by Speaker
pro TEN Richardson, Mr.. Wheeler of
Alabama. said he would give way to
the Delegate from Utah, Mr.. Rawlins,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-07-19

The President, it appears, signed the
statehood bill quicker than we gave
him credit for. He received it Monday
night and signed it before he went to
he'd just ten minutes before midnight
July Is, 1894. He was ready to recog-
nize Utah at the very first opportuni-
ty Rahl for Cleveland.

The Tribune is cautioning

The Tribune is cautioning the peo-
pie about tricks like those it supported
in this city in 1890. Democratic regis
trars are not likely to be guilty of
those ticks. But it is not to be Won
dered at that the Tribune is fearful of
that kind of thing. Tricksters are al
ways suspicious of trickery.

Utah has been kept out of Statehood
under the pretense that polygamous
population should not be permitted to
come into the Union on equal terms
with the people of other and more law
abiding States. AT the same time Re-
publicans voted for the admission Of
polygamous Idaho. The real objection
was that Utah was Democratic. al
though today the Republicans are re-
conciled to it's admission because they
think that it may become Republican.
Certainly if Idaho was entitled to
Statehood much the more is Utah. In
the reckless scramble of the Republi-
cans for peterborough Scholarships
the refusal to admit Utah was a gross
injustice.-New York World Oem.).

The sympathy of that paper was
with the strikers and against the cor
porations. 1t was an indirect if not a
direct encourament of the great r..volt
The strikers in this region took it as
aid and comfort. No doubt it had the
same effect wherever it went But
mark the sudden flop! Just as in the
commonwealers' affair, our contempor-
airy turns complete ~somersault and
lands on opposite ground.
Now the Pullmans are all right. They
have paid fair wages and are public
benefactors The railroads have been
receiving an unqualified wrong" Has
their league with the Pullmans been
dissolved? Have they ceased to try to
make life miserable for sixty millions of
people? And is the original wrong
transferred from the companies that
were in league TO the strikers who
were then the sinned against?
Our neighbor is in hard lines. What
with trying to explain its own blum
ders on the silver question, its non
sense as to the Republican position on
statehood. its contradictions about the
commonwealers. its diverse expressions
on the strike and sundry other errors
and Inconsistencies, it has all its hands
full, must turn it's Janus face about
and employ its double tongue to the
very utmost capacity, and all without
avail when the purpose is to try to
make sense out of absurdity, straight
line with crooked marker, and simple
truth out Of tangled and fretted false
hood
