SENATOR PETER and the members
bers Of his family draw $4,000 a year
from the government The horny
handed popullsts Of Kansas, as they
stumble over the clods and wipe the
dust out Of their eyes next summer,
may congratulate themselves on hav-
ing boosted Mr.. PETER from a posi-
ton where he never earned more
81, 500 year in his life to this nice,
fat, easy job. They will also have
time to figure out what Mr.. PETER has
done for his party or for the state
since he has been In the senate. Nor
ton Courier.
Yes they can congratulate them
selves that if one must draw $4,000 a
year it IS a man who is in sympathy
with the "horny-handed" people, and
spends all his time working for their
interests. They may also congratu-
late themselves that they ousted a
man, who not only drew more than
PETER, but who contributed with all
his brilliancy towards reducing the
farmer to the condition which com
pels him to stumble over the clods"
instead Of owning the proper machin-
cry with which to till his farm, They
may further congratulate themselves
that they chose a man to represent
them who could and did honestly earn
1880 a year And they have already
read, with pleasure and appreciation,
Senator PETERS resolution to inquire
into and obtain the names and ad-
dresses of the purchasers OF U. S.
bonds. They have been delighted to
read his resolution to investigate
the sugar spectators, They also
could enlighten the Courier on
800 other points where he
has caused CONSERVATION among
their enemies, the money sharks. He
has done for the farmer, aided by only
three other members Of his party, far
more than ingalls, did in eighteen
years with the full support Of a re-
publican majority in the senate. The
Courier may rest assured that the
farmers have already figured out
these things, as they have figured out
that Senator PETER and his family do
not draw $4,000 from the govern
ment, and that the papers which print
such statements are not sincere in
of regard for the farmer.

Der Hoch Volkes.

Some of the men who are "never
int .ested in politics" and don't pay
attention to what congress is doing"
have now been out of work for six
months; and still they don't know
that congaess is responsible for their
rags. They'll have to study politics
they will always be at the mercy Of
the fellows who do. A man always
pays for ignorance.-StGte Journal
EDITORIAL March 16, 1894.
So? Is it possible that the great
representative of the proud old re-
publican party is really getting its
eyes opened sufficiently to discern the
fact that Congress is responsible"
for the rags" of the unemployed
laborers? Is not the Journal afraid
that it's "howl" will ruin the credit of
the great state of Kansas? 1t is re-
freshing to, at this date, see the very
ones who have at all times derlded
the warning of those who were endea-
voring to point out the fact that class
laws were, to large extent, respon-
sible for the condition of the IT,
boring classes, forced to acknowledge
that such charges are true; even
when, as in this instance, it is for the
purpose of making political capital.
1t must be gail to the old crowd of
of political fixers In this state, to be
compelled to admit the claims of the
populists in relation to the RESPONSE
bility Of congress for the present de-
pressed condition of the industrial
classes, and the deplorable state of
business generally, We may now
look to hear from them the declara-
ton that "the country is on the verge
of financial ruin" If one could be-
leve that the Journal was sincere in
its views, we might hail the above as
harbinger of progression on the
part of its editor, but, unfortunately,
our long term of experience with
methods employed by him and his
kind, makes it impossible for him to
trust to anything which we may read
in the columns of the old party press
which is not pre-eminently Of parti-
san nature,
Populists.have all the time contend
ed that the laboring man will have
to study politics or they will always
be at the mercy of the fellows who
do" and it is pleasure now to see
that the other fellows have to say the
same thing. Were it not for the fact
that the Journal says what Is quoted
above in the hopes of making capital
for the republican party, it would be
pretty good, but the Journal and
other papers Of its class do a great
violence to the good sense Of their
Kansas readers when they hope to
blind them by such transparent de-
vices. This same class Of journalists
shout aloud for the republican party
and its candidates, at the same time
that they get SO honest" and they
expect that their readears will take
notice of their illusions, and pay no
attention to the official acts of the
representatives Of their party. Only
two weeks ago we had occasion to
show The attitude Of the republican

should be carefully and widely taught

THE couNTY,s AFFAIRS.


Next Tuesday the people of Salt Lake
county Will choose three selectmen to
whom will be entrusted the manage
ment of the county's affairs. These
men will have the handling of all the
county taxes, and as they handle them
so will the county business be we'll or
i'll managed. This is of more vital i'm
portance to the people who live in this
county than almost anything else.
They know what taxes they pay and
they want them so expended that
they will derive the benefit from them
and not the contractors, or those who
have some "pull'' on some selectman.
Taxes are collected for public purposes,
and the taxpayers want them used for
those purposes and not for the building
up of some clique or some political
party.
. The record of the administration of
county affairs by Republican county
court is made, and it has been made to
the detriment of the people of the
county. That record is an Indebtedness
of three hundred thousand dollars and
more and absolute bankruptcy in sight
in addition. Would it not be the height
of folly, in fact would it not be suicidal
for the people of the county to contiue
in power a party that has brought
about such a condition of things? 1t
certainly would and must so appear to
every thinking person. To change the
personnel of the court is not to change
the party. Men in office are governed
by the traditions of their party regard
ing the management of the offices.
If the county court continues to be
Republican county affairs will continue
as they are except that they will go
from bad to worse. The remedy for this
disastrous state of things is to repudi-
ate the Republicans and elect a Demo-
cratic county court pledged to economy.

THE COMING ELECTION.

The people of Utah, at the coming
election, will shape their political des-
tiny as a commonwealth. AS they lay
the foundation then so shall they rear
the superstructure. If they choose true
principles in government, they will
build their house upon rock; if they
do not, they will build it upon the sand,
but a house so built cannot withstand
the fury of the storm and the tempest.
The people will vote for two -great
parties, two parties that represent two
party are laid deep down in human ma
ture. Those principles recognize the
lodgings, the rights, the aspirations of
men. They are those principles that
declare that governments are made for
men and not men for governments; and
that they derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed, that only
source of civil power, the people. These
principles recognize that governmental
powers cannot rise higher than their
source, and that when the assumption
is made that they can that they become
an usurpation and a danger and threat
against the liberties of the people.
These are the principles that make
for peace, for the brotherhood of man.
kind, the principles of Jefferson, the
principles of the Democratic party.
Opposed to these are the principles of
conservatism, the conservatism of the
powers of the rulers and not the rights
of the people. They are the principles
that rely on strength and not on right
eousness, the principles which say that
right is might They are those princi-
pies in government that have always
doubted the capacity of men to.-nan-
age their own affairs, and that have
ever stood in the path that leads to-
ward freedom. They are the principles
that Alexander Hamilton enunciated
when he desired to entrust the powers
of this government to the rich and the
well born. They put faith i'm instftu-
tons rather than in men. They are
the principles of the Republican party,
that party that believes in expediency
above all things.
Let the people choose between them.
Mr.. Rawlins represents the one, Mr..
Cannon the other. Men represent
much; principles represent everything.
Through Democratic principles the peo-
pie have realized the hopes and desires
of long years-statehood and the full
rights of American citizens Through
Republican principles they have never
realized a single hope or aspiration.

THE STATE CONSTITUTION.

The fundamental law of a state is
It's most important law. It defines the
powers of the various departments of
the state government, granting them
here and denying them there as the
wisdom OF the people shall dictate. In
pursuance of the powers expressed and
defined in the constitution are all the
laws of the new state to be made. How
important then is it that this great
charter of the peoples rights and lib
critics shall in every respect be the best
that can be made. Utah has the ex-
perience of forty-four states to- guide
her in the work of framing constitu-
tion. Let her profit by that experience.
The people in choosing delegates to
the constitutional convention should
bear all this in mind and only send the
best men. The men SO chosen should
have first and always in view the well
fare and happiness of the people. They
should put such restraints on the power
of the legislature that it will be impos-
sible for that body to divert the reve-
nues of the state to any purpose other
than one that is purely public. 1t
should be forbidden to pledge the pub
lie credit to any private enterprise, or
to allow taxes TO be laid that they may
be bestowed upon private individuals
or concerns as bounties.
The constitution should guarantee to
every citizen within the state the same
rights and privileges. There must be
no prescription for one class and favor
itism for another.
1t should always be borne in mind
by the men framing the constitution
that the tendency of all governments is
