most conspicuous gain was made by
Summit, which stands at $1,966,000,
an increase of SAG, 900, or over 25 per

CHURCH AND POLITICS AGAIN.

The subject Of religious interference
in the political affairs of U1ah has been
much agitated and CORRESPONDENCE
misrepresented. Eastern journals have
INDUCED in a great deal of unwise COM
ment, because they have not fully I'M
derstood the subject they endeavored
TO explain. The Democrats of Utah
have not accused the Mormon Church
of entering or ''re-entering" politics.
The Mormon Church has not opposed
the Democratic party. The stir that
has been made is on account of some
influential persons in that church be-
ing accused of exercising a partisan
power, bearing the impression that they
were acting eX-cathedra when in re-
atty they were using Republican tao
tics.
We refer to this matter once more.
because it is to be revived in a maya
zine which we regard as one of the
foremost in America. The announce
ment is made from its office in New
York City that in the December num-
Der of The Forum there will appear
an article by Mr.. Glen Miller of this
city. entitled Has the Mormon Church
Re-Entered Politics?" Mr.. Miller's ar
ticle, it is said, contains a signed letter
from the Presidents of the Mormon
Church, written expressly by them for
use in The Forum, answering certain
questions which NJ. Miller put them
as to the propriety of Church officials
in Utah accepting political nomina-
tons.
This will doubtless attract a great
deal of attention here and elsewhere.
We will not attempt to criticise the
article in advance. 1t may aid in pre-
senting the truth on this question be-
fore the American public. From it's
title the impression is conveyed that
it does not meet the great difficulty,
but only that which has been mistak-
emily set forth as the difficulty COM
planned Of in Utah, and that is why we
mention it in this way just now. The
Forum will be looked for with interest,
from the fact that the article is by an
able Salt Lake writer as we'll as from
the inherent attraction of the subject

PARTIsANsHIp RUN MAD.

1t is to be very much regretted that
SO much partisanship has been display
ed in the selection of candidates for
election to the city Board of Educa-
ton. The deciding power will be in
the hands of the voters. They can and
they should refuse to support men who
are simply the nominees of strong par
tisans, and who will carry that parti-
san spirit, if elected, into the school
board and so into school affairs. They
will necessarily do that because of
their nomination for that very pur-
pose.
A near contemporary has vigorously
if not consistently, contended for the
election of Republicans as members of
the Board of Education, and at the
same time endorsed the idea that
school boards and school regulations
should be bipartisan. According to
the logic it has employed day after
day, the election of Democrats would
make the board partisan, but the cleo
ton of Republicans would render it
non-partisani
Democrats have urged the re-elec-
ton Of the outgoing members, or fail
ing that the choice of some new mem
bers by mutual understanding of
both parties, or failing that the main
tenance of the even numbers of Re-
publicans and Democrats on the board
as at present. This has been for
non-partisan purpose. The last named
proposition was made because neither
Of the others was successful. in view
of the Republican determination to Sc
cure a Republican board.
Now let the voters of the city place
on the board such men as will be non
partisan in their acts, and as will re-
fuse to engage in the partisan meas
ures designed by the class of wire-pul
lers that has secured the partisan NOM
nations. For their own sakes and
for the cause of education, we hope
that the majority of the people of this
city will not allow partisanship to run
away with their good sense, and be so
determined to act in a partisan spirit
that they will swallow their party tick
ct regardless of all other considerations.
Let us have a non-partisan Board of
Education, if nothing else of that char
acter is possible in these rash and rea-
sonlesS times.

MAKE THEM sELF-sUPPORTlNG.

Under the above heading the San
Francisco Examiner discusses Gov
ernor Eudd's plans for making the
prisons and other corrective and
charita BILE institutions of California
intoproductive centers. All such in
situations should be made salf-sup-
porting if possible. and it is easily
possible with prisons. 1t is ques-
ton that Utah will have to meet very
soon so far as the penitentiary is con-
cerned. When that institution is
turned over to the new state it should
be made self-supporting as soon as
may he. This could not be done so
long as it was a United States insti-
tuition, and the consequence has been
that men who have been confined
there for punishment have been COM
PEELED to lead life of idleness, and
when they have emerged from it they
have been greater criminals. in
thought, than when they entered it.
If the life of idleness leads men to
commit crime. then how pernicious is
the prison system that continues them
in a life of idleness after their con-
viction and incarceration. Yet that
is what is done in Utah today, and
there has been no remedy for such
bad state of affairs. If the institution
were supplied with proper machinery
it could very readily be made self
supporting. So far as territorial!
prisoners are concerned, they are an
absolute burden upon the taxpayers,
and the control of the penitentiary
coming into the hands Of the state
will make that burden still heavier.
Common sense, humanity and
economy suggest that the only wise
course is to make the prisoners carry
the burden of the cost of their keep.
Everything that is used in the prisons
should be produced there, and what
it is necessary to buy for them, as
well as expenses of the guards, should

it is placed cannot stand it and that its
so much the worse for the articles. 1t
is so much easier to make a specific
duty prohibitive than it is to make
an ad valorem one so.
The Judge talks about the ruin pro-
duced by free wool. That is fanlil-
lar cry that has lost much of its force.
The wool industry has not been ruined
by free wool and will not be, but
those who never cease to demand a
duty on it overlook the fact that
manufacturers of woolens and their
employees have rights. The wool
grower produces for the manu-
facturers, comparatively limited
duce for the people of the whole coun-
try, and because they do it will be
pretty difficult matter to get the duties
on wool restored. The people have
experienced some of the benefits to be
derived from free wool and they will
not readily surrender them that a
class may be made richer. The wool
producers will demand tariff on
their product; the wool consumers will
object, and as they include the whole
nation they will be very likely to
have their way. AS a political dodge,
knowing there is no chance for its
success, the Republican Congress
that meets very shortly may pass a
bill to place a tariff ON wool, but the
Republican party, if it shall elect The
next President and Congress, will be
much more deliberate and considerate
about taking wool from the free list.

KEEP 1T UP!

AS the winter comes on apace, we
may look for the incoming of tramps
and hoboes. burglars and footpads. The
police will also look for those gentry,
and from what has been done with an
instalment just received, we may rea-
sonably expect that many of them will
find their way into the chain gang.
The course taken in reference to the
job-lot just put to work is commend
able. Once let it be known among the
tramp fraternity that their tribe will
have to dig for and shovel gravel, and
they will be likely to give Salt Lake a
wide berth.
When we speak of the tramp fra
ternity we do not mean honest but I'M
fortunate workmen out of employment.
Some of them may have to tramp from
place to place seeking for labor and
perhaps finding none. They should en-
list the sympathy of all just people, in
Guiding the officers of the law, and
employment should be found for them
when possible and consistent with
home demands.
But the professional tramp is an
other class Of being and his case re-
quires different treatment. Vagrancy
is his ofsense, and for that hard labor
is the appropriate punishment That
is what he breads most and is the
best tramp-cure yet devised. Let all
such ''wayfarers" gravitate to the
gravel bed, and while they eat at the
city's expense they will make some re-
turn in city work. And that will keep
them from robbing henroosts and
holding up nocturnal pedestrians. The
police should keep up their lookout
for tramps and hoboes.

MATTHEW ARNOLD ON GRANT.

That the American people appreciate
Lincoln at his full worth no one would
think of doubling for a single mo-
ment; in truth it is question
whether he has not been deified and
worshipped to excess. Do we appre-
ciate Grant as he deserves to be? Has
not the fame of the great martyr
President been allowed to overshadow
that of the great General? This
thought is suggested by the estimate
that the late Matthew Arnold places
upon Grant In his Letters" just
published, is one to his sister. Mrs.
Forster. dated October q. 1886, in
which he says:
Then Ted This nephew, A. E. Ar
mold, editor of Murray's Magazinel is
at me for his magazine. l think L
shall do General Grants Memories"
for him. The Americans will like it..
The book has hardly been noticed in
England and Grant is shown by this
book to be one of the most solid men
they have had. I prefer him to Lin
coin. Except Franklin, know hardly
anyone so selbst-standig, so broad and
strong-sighted, as well as f1rm-char-
actered, that they have had.
This placing of Grant above Lin
coin by the greatest English critic Of
the century is truly startling, and will
undoubtedly give rise to many articles
on these two greatest heroes of the
war for the Union.
Lincoln's career. glorious in every
way, was ended so tragically just as
his great life-work was completed that
the American people have almost re-
garded it as a duty to extol his vir
tues and almost a sacrilege to at
tribute any imperfections to him, or to
assume to place any compatriot on a
pedestal so high as the one on which
he stands. Yet here is a great literary
critic, keen student of men and
manners, who prefers Grant to Lin
coin. No one who was contemporary
with them can say whether he is right
or wrong
In the centuries to come perhaps the
which he will most generally be esti-
mated will be his Gettysburg speech.
and in Grant case what he really
was will be determined most frequent
ly by the surrender at Appomattox.
Great as that short speech showed Lin
coin to be, Grants conduct towards
Lee and his conquered followers
showed him to be equally great. 1t is
scarcely probable that we have glor-
flied Lincoln too much, but rather is
it probable that we have glOrified
Grant too little.

STILL TROUBLING UTAH.

The people of Utah have lived in con-
tnuous excitement for more than full
generation. One sensation has followed
on the heels of another in a procession
aHordlng abundant material for the his
torian and the dramatic author When
the Fifty-third Congress, with substan-
tial unanimity, opened the vestibule door
and directed the territory TO fit herself
with state constitution, preparatory to
coming into the Union, it was hoped
that her days of storm and strife were
over. But the campaign that ended with
the election, of November was sensa-
tlonal TO the last degree. Charges of
church interference in behalf of one
party and against another were hurled
right and left. A conference of politi-
clans was held, and a manifesto against
statehood was issued. But the voters
adopted the constitution and elected
legislature and a complete outfit of state
officials.
This result might fairly have been ex-
pected to put period to strife and con-
tention, and give the people a rest. But
It has not accomplished that object.
There are politicians in Utah, and per
sons outside of that territory, moved by
termined to make a last effort to keep
Utah out of her birthright.. The Salt
Lake Herald learns that an attempt will
be made to influence the president
which will be the signal for the admis-
sion of Utah into the Union as a sove-
reign state The Herald thinks this move
ment must be the result of ignorance in
relation to the presidents authority in
the premises and of his character and
disposition. The enabling act indicates
what will be the duty of the president
when he receives the official returns of
the vote on the adoption of the constitu-
ton. If he finds that instrument re
publican in FORM and that the require
ments of the enabling act have been
complied with. he is then to issue his
proclamation announcing that the state
constitution has been adopted by a ma
jority of the voters of Utah, and the
state is then considered to be admitted
into the Union.
1t would be preposterous to suppose
that the president would be influenced
by fractional representa- TONS or would
refuse to comply with the provisions of
the enabling act. The alleged attitude
of a church in regard to politics will
certainly not be considered a good reason
for holding up the act of Congress and
slamming to the doors that Congress has
opened. The political complexion of the
new state is not a subject for executive
consideration: The Salt Lake Herald is
the president will perform the duty.

without bias as to the political choice
Of the people of Utah or any other eX-

The fact that the forty-fifth star, rep
