THE RUIN is AvERTED.

The New York Evening Port has this
to say in reference to the controversy
in the convention, over the proposition
to permit the State of Utah and its
political subdivisions to lend their
credit for the benefit of private persons
and corporations:
The lack of restrictions in the consti-
tuition framed by the Utah convention
is sharply criticised by the Salt Lake
Herald Oem.). Blaming the Republic
cans for the failure, The Herald says:
''They have placed themselves on
record as in favor. of permitting the
Legislature to lend the credit of the
state for the benefit of private corpora
lions and associations. That is carry
ing the matter to alarming lengths.
And 1t is rot all. They record them
selves in favor of allowing counties,
cities, and towns to lend their credit
for similar purposes. More than that
The state, and cities, and counties. and
towns may all invest public funds as
shares in private associations and COM
panies!
We are pleased to be able to assure
our New York contemporary taat bet
ter counsels have prevailed The
Herald's position on this important
question was taken by the Democrats
Of the convention, Joined by dozen
Republicans led by the ablest of their
number, and a provision is inserted in
the Utah constitution, which preserves
the state from the corporate rule and
debt-breeding schemes which would
have threatened its ruin but for the
coalition we have mentioned.
The majority of the Republicans in
that body, backed by the Republican
papers of the territory, fought hard to
leave open the foodgates. through
which torrent Of financial evils would
have poured upon this community.
With the prohFbitory clause now in
serted and an additional restriction as
to the debt-contracting powers of the
state and its political subdivisions,
safety is assured and the bounty

PROGRESSING SLOWLY.

The convention still drags its slow
| length along. The educational article
has been improved in committee of
the whole by the amendments adopted,
and it is hoped that it will pass its
third reading today, without further
fighting over the question of locating
the University and the Agricultural
College.
AS it stands now the article will do
very well, both institutions remaining
at their present locations, and the
other details relating to the school of
mines and the institution for the deaf
mutes and the blind. to be left to regu-
lation by the legislature. If the con-
vention will leave a little more to the
legislature it will be much more salts
factory than trying to load up the con-
stitution so heavily.
The change made in the judiciary
article is in the right direction. Judges
should be men of ability who can COM
mand much higher salaries than those
originally proposed. And justice would
suggest that those who have so much
more work to do than others should
be remunerated accordingly. The ex-
pense being made local. no district
can reasonably complain of partially.
It is matter of regret that the sala-
ries of the Governor. Attorney General.
and Superintendent Of Schools should
be placed so low. The Governorship.
however. can be held by some gentle
man of means. or one who is engaged
in other pursuits from which he OBJ
tains a revenue. But the Attorney
General will have to employ most if
not all his time in the duties of his
important position. and ought to have
a salary sufficient to command the best
legal ability.
The worst of all is the meagre salary
for the Superintendent of Schools. The
place requires a man of talent. expert
ence and tact. who will devote his en-
tire time to school affairs. The meagre
sum of $1,000 a year is absurdly in
sufficient. However. those figures have
been passed upon and will have to
stand until otherwise provided for by
law. The legislature at its second ses-
sion will have some work to do in this
connection.
1t is to be hoped and expected that
the convention will now apply itself
diligently to business. We do not care
how much time the delegates spend at
work without pay. That is very
small consideration. But there is no
need for further delays or any display
of oratoricaI powers. Business with
dispatch is wanted by the people and
their desire is reasonable. Let it be
granted.

ROUGH ON ALLISON.

Senator Allison of Iowa poses as a
bimetaliist between sessions, but he in
variably votes with the goldites when
ever any coinage measure is before the
Senate. He is the biggest fraud and the
smoothest hypocrite in the entire gold
ite contingent, and he can rest assured
that he will never get a vote for presi-
dent from any western state. Indeed
we do not believe he could get dele.
cation from his own state favorable to
his nomination. 1t is amazing that such
hypocrites as Allison are permitted to
remain in public life for any consider
able time in this country, but We pre-
sumo that in his case the money of the
corporations he has so servilely obeyed
throughout his entire career is mainly
responsible for his retention in Office

THE HERALD WAS RIGHT.

The announcement in the Deseret
Evening News that on Sunday at the
quarterly conference of the Utah
Stake of Zion, a selection was made
of Presidency of the Stake, is a
vindication of the local mention of
the probable result which appeared in
The Herald last Friday morning, and
which was sharply and unfairly criti-
cised editorially in the News of Fri
day evening.
The choice was made of Elder Ed
ward Partridge, as President, with
Elders David John and Reed Smoot
as his Counselers. The nominations
were unanimously sustained by the
conference.
ference the successor of President
Smoot would be named. He was
named. 1t also said the selection
would be made from persons residing
in the Stake, and not from ''importa-
tions," as had been rumored. The Sc
iections were made from persons re-
siding in the Stake. All three live
there and are well known and re-
spected.
The only error made by the report
er in The Herald was that the con-
ference would be held on Sunday and
Monday, when it was held on Satur-
day and Sunday. That was very
small matter but was made very
much of by the News. That paper
also stated in pretended reply to The
Herald announcement, that at the
meeting of the Apostles '&here was
no selection made of President
Shoots successor" The Herald did
not say there had been, but, on the
contrary, that the selection was to
be made at the conference, which it
was.
We should not have referred to
this matter but for the evident dis
position and desire of the News to
peck at The Herald whenever oppor-
tunity offers. If a similar announce
ment had been made in another pa
per, we do not believe it would have
excited the ire of the News or called
forth the statement that it was mis-
leading and incorrect The correct
ness of the chief points in The Her
aid report has been made clear by
the actual course of events. There
was no need to make so great a fuss
over so small a matter.

HARRISON AND M'KINLEY.

AS a matter of fact, both these men
are intelligent and consistent bimetal-
lists. They both believe that the COM
mercial world should make both metals
full money at a fixed coinage ratio which
they believe will make the coin unit Of
one metal as valuable as that of the
other. 1t is probable that both are op-
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver by the United States alone, be-
cause they are convinced that, upon
ratio of Is to 1. the American silver dol
lar will not have the purchasing power
in the necessaries of life which the gold
dollar has, and that as result of this
not only would no more gold be coined
in this country, but the S565,000,O00 o.
gold now in the United States would
either go abroad or cease to be money
because of the premium it would COM
mand-a change which the best inform
ed believe would paralyze the business
and industry of the country. In other
words, the Journal assumes that they
stand upon the Republican platform Of
1S92.-Indianapolis Journal.

THE INEQUALITY of TAXATION.

The weightiest argument for wisely
framed income-tax law is that it forces
certain classes to contribute to the sup
port of the government who are at pres
ent, comparatively speaking, almost
wholly exempt from such responsibility.
To recur to the case of the Astors, the
only Federal tax which they pay is in
the shape of customs duties and excise
taxes. The average citizen with an in
come. of few thousand dollars probably
contributes absolutely as much TO the
support of the federal government as
does this rich New York family, and rela-
lively he contributes a great deal more.
A man can only eat and wear so much,
same for all.

GREAT Is GRAND JUNCTION.

Everything points to a prosperous
year for Grand Junction, where in a
short time a contract will be let for the
construction of a system of water
works which will supply the town with
pure mountain water. 1t is said that
the road from Grand Junction to Green
River, Wyoming, will be built, and that
much of the work will be done this
summer. In the event that this proves
to be the case. the town will have
boom which will cause it to grow rapid
ly. The outlook in general is made all
the better by a good prospect for fruit,
the indications being that there will be
large crop. Farmers are also planting
more trees, which promises well for the
future.-Denver Republican.
