A LOCAL ALMANAC.

The Salt Lake Tribune has just pub
lished an Almanac of 464 pages for the
year 1896. The first part Of the book.
about 60 pages, was prepared by the
Tribune force and is a valuable and
easily accessible compilation of cleo
ton and mining statistics with his
torical and other matter of general
information. The public will be glad
TO get these facts in an orderly and
compact form, but will regret that
Chamber Of Commerce, Salt Lake City
municipal, militia and other informa-
ton of Importance should be deemed
of less value than some inconseouential
facts that are given. The rest of the
book is devoted to such general topics
as are usually found within the covers
of the newspaper almanac-a vast
fund of information that will be con-
suited frequently during the year by
those who possess the book. That part
Of the book not local was not prepared
here-which fully explains a few in
accuracies occurring therein, such as
the statement that deeds and mort
cages must be sealed and that a hus-
band should join his wife in a deed
from her. The book will no doubt find
ready sale.

THE REPUBLICAN SCHEME.

To bend somewhat a trite phrase
President Cleveland asked Congress
for bread and they are giving him
stones. By which we mean that Presi-
dent Cleveland recommended the pas
sage of some measure by Congress
that would enable him to replenish
and keep in tact the $1O0, OOO. 600 gold
reserve. The plan the president had
in mind for the accomplishment of
that object was the issuance of long
time gold bonds with which to buy
gold for the reserve fund and the re-
demption Of the greenbacks, which.
when redeemed. according to the
Presidents plan, were to be can
celled that they might no more re-
turn to plague the treasury.
In response to this request for finan-
cial legislation the Republican House
presents first a bill for increasing the
revenues of the government by raising
the tariff rates on imports, and second
a bill authorizing the sale of coin
bonds for the purchase of gold and
the redemption Of greenbacks. The
President did not ask for an increase
Of the revenue, but on the contrary
emphatically stated there was no need
of such legislation, and the provisions
OF the bond bill are far from what
President Cleveland recommended. SO
that if the proposed Republican qegis-
latIon is not wrecked in the Senate. if
it ever becomes law, it most likeIv
must do so over the Presidents veto
1t was at first suggested that the two
bills be presented as one so that if
the administration would avail itself
OF the supposed advantage of the bond
bill, he must also accept the tariff
features Of the proposed legislation
This plan seems to have been alban-
doned as it might look perhaps too
much like an attempt to coerce the
president into an acceptance of the
proposed tariff changes. Besides If
was suggested that by presenting the
tariff bill first and holding the bond
bill the legislative department could
effect the same purpose as was pro-
posel by having the two bills included
in one. That is, if the president re-
fused to sign the tariff bill, Congress
could refuse to pass the bond bill. IF
the President would have the bond
bill apples, he must eat the Republican
tariff bill onions. But the Republicans
are counting without their host. We
venture the guess that President
Cleveland will not accept the Republi-
can bond bill at the price of accepting
the tariff bill; and We question very
much if he would even accept the
bond bill if it stood alone unconnected
with any entangling alliance with
tariff revision, so far short does it fall
OF his own recommendations, so little
removed is it from what he regards as
the disadvantages of the present law
under which the secretary of the
treasury may now issue bonds.

coNT,ENTED WITH HIMSELF.

All men are more or less conceited,
though they will in all likelihood do
what they can to conceal the fact
Few men are perfectly contented with
themselves but there are some such in
the world, and such a one appears to
be Professor Won Hoist, of the Uni
versity of Chicago. He does not agree
with Mr.. Cleveland in his interpreted
ton of the Monroe doctrine, nor with
the majority of his fellow professors.
He declares with all the self sufficiency
possible that he will maintain what
he has said about Mr.. Cleveland's
policy, land if other members of the
faculty differ from me. so much the
worse for them. l have no sentiment
towards them but pity for their ignor-
ance." All knowing man, but not all
wise man. $50 much the worse for
them" Is it really worse for all the
professors of the great University of
Chicago when they do not agree with
the distinguished historian of constitu-
tional government in the United
States? Is it not possible that it may
be worse for the professor? He i'm
plies that he is the source whence all
knowledge flows; dam not UP that
source. With all his knowledge the pro-
fessor seems never to have read what
Sterne has to say on so much the
better, SO much the worse 1t is
philosophical in the extreme, and may
be read by all men with profit. When
a man has mastered the art of saving
so much the better, so much the
worse" he has learned the great art of
getting along with his fellow man
without friction. He will never say
the one in place of the other, as the
great naturalized German professor
did. He has great learning but small
tact. In this world pound of tact is
better than ton of talent. He should
exchange some of his pity of which he
is so profuse for some tact which he
is so lacking.

THAT HART INTERVIEW.

The Associated Press dispatches yes
terday brought over the wires what
purported to be an interview with one
Richard w Hart, said to be bishop
in the Mormon church. The interview
is supposed to nave taken place with a
representative of local paper publish
ed at Newton, Kansas, where the said
and from there the interview was sent
as special to the Kansas City Jour
nal. The interview is highly sensa-
tional in it's treatment of Utah affairs.
According to the interview as soon as
the proclamation admitting Utah to
statehood is issued by President Cleve-
land on January 4th, the Mormon
church will at once take I'D the prac-
tfce Of polygamy. the church will as
sumo control Of political affairs, and
none of the officers of the state, either
elective or appointive will be of any
other religious faith than that of the
Mormons, unless the Saints so will it.
These are the chief points of the in
terview though elaborated with an adj
dition of more or less bosh.
1t is supposed in quarters where they
ought to know that the person repre-
sented in the interview as Richard w.
Hart is none other than Hon. Charles
H. Hart judge elect of the first judi
cial district, who, it is said, has run
down to Atlanta to attend the exhibit
ton, and may have stopped off at
Newton. Kansas, to visit friends. If
it turns out that Charles II. Hart is
the man interviewed, that gentleman's
name will be sufficient to give assur-
ance that whatever interview he may
have had with the newspaper repre-
sentative has been very much misrep-
resented in this Geographic report of
it Judge Hart could never be the au-
thor of the twaddle ascribed to the
Mr.. Hart of that interview He would
not dishonor the people of Utah by in
timating that they had all along been
acting in bad faith in the matter of
polygamy and church control of poll
tics. We know the statements in the
interview to be opposite to the views
of Judge Hart; and we know that
gentleman's good sense would never
permit him to say what is there as
cribed TO Richard W. Hart. If there
was an interview at Newton with
Mr.. Hart, that interview has been
misunderstood or badly garbled, per
haps both; if the interview was not
misunderstood, and has not been gar
bled, then it must have been had
with some Mr.. Hart unknown here in
Utah, and if he ever lived in the terri
tory Utah disowns him; and we shall
always believe the fool killer has been
somewhat remiss in the performance
of his solemn duty to the people of this
commonwealth

THE NEW STATE.

The constitution of 1.-The state Of Utah
has been approved by the attorney gem
eral of the United States, and the presi-
dent will issue proclamation at the be-
ginning of the new year declaring the ad-
mission of the territory of Utah. to the
Union as state. It will be the forty
/ fifth in the galaxy
There was no ground on which the fed
eral government could object to the con-
stitutlon adopted by the people of Utah,
and it is not likely to be so changed here
after as to make 1t Objectionable, but it
Will depend upon the people of the new
state whether certain guarantees upon
which great stress has been laid shall be
observed in good faith. We know that
the letter of a constitution may be all
right while its spirit is stif1ed.
The declartion of rights in the Utah
the. subject of religious liberty and the
rights of conscience 1t says that the
rights of conscience shall never be in
fringed;" that no law shall be made IRE
prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
that there shall be no religious test as a
qualification for voting or holding office;
that no person shall be incompetent as a
witness or juror ION account of religious
belief or the absence thereof that there
shall be no union of church and state,
or interfere with the functions thereof,
and that no public money or property
shall be appropriated for or applied to
any religious worship, exercise, or instruc-
cal establishment"
Elsewhere in the constitution is what is
called an Ordinance, declared to be ir-
revocable without, the consent Of tn. the
United States and the people of this
state" This contains declarations that
a perfect liberation Of religious sentiment
is guaranteed. No inhabitant OF this
state shall ever be molested in person or
property on account of his or her mode OF
religious worship; but polygamous or
plural marriages are forever prohibited,
1t also requires the establishment ana
maintenance of a system of public
schools. (which shall be open to all chill
dren of the state and be free from secta-
rian control"
There is in all this recognition Of the
need of making specially emphatic dec
larahons in matters which would be re-
garded as matters of course elsewhere,
and they Leave nothing to be desired so
far as words go. But the spirit 9 OF ,, some
ing church of Utah in the very canvass
for election of state officers under 1t. II
will remain for the people of the new
state hereafter to see that the s; spirit oo Of
faith. for It is that and not the letter
that s'maketh alive."-New York Times

LET MILES BE sILENcED.

The whole country has been amazed
eral Miles has expressed his opinion
regarding the defenses of the country
since there has been so much talk OF
possible hostilities with England. What
he has divulged may have been known
before, but it was shockingly bad taste
for him to repeat it and thoroughly
unprofessional. He has not hesitated
to tell how many guns and mortars
are in place in such seaports as New
York and Boston; the only thing he
seems to have neglected is to state
the number of rounds of ammunition.
For New York paper he prepared an
article in which appeared this remark
able statement:
For New York the plans adopted
call for ninety-three guns and ITS NOR
tarS OF this number two tWelVe-inch
guns and sixteen tWelve-inch mortarS
have been placed in position. AT BoS-
ton, out of forty-three guns and 12S
mortars called for by the plans of the
department, but sixteen mortars have
been placed in position. The total num-
Der of guns and mortars required under
these plans for the proper defence of
our seaport towns is AS guns and 952
mortars.
He then goes on to describe the con-
struction of the emplacements, saying
that the walls of these emplacements
are a solid mass of concrete forty feet
thick. If there is anything he has not
told it is owing to a failure of men,
Dry and not of intention.
If Washington special to a st.
Louis paper is to be relied upon, Cen
eral Miles has impaired all the infor-
nation to the public that he will for
some time. 1t is stated that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Lamont are seri-
ously considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
silencing General Miles. They should
not consider long but should silence
him forthwith. An English general in
command of the British forces who
should tell what the defenses of Ports
mouth are or in what lacking or Of
the defenses Of the approaches to Lon
don would not only have been silenced
but degraded. And it would have serv-
ed him right. General Miles appears
to have an Unsuitable desire to be ever
before the public. The people do not
like such soldier. but rather the ST.
lent, retiring man such as Grant was.
If he is not careful General Miles will
get the reputation of being a news
paper general, the worst reputation a
soldier can have. No matter what his
reputation is or may become, let him
be Silenced.

oLEvELAND's THIRD TERM.

When such man as Washington has
refused to accept third term, when af-
ter thorough consideration he has &C.
cided that it was not right, was not fair,
to the republic to inonopolize the presi-
work: he has lad the courage to show
England exactly of what stuff America
is made. Let him now quietly step Gown
from his office with the glory OF that
him a position which our ablest presi-
dents have not held; we cannot place him
in a place that would be far above that
ever owned was given. No, let Cleveland
make way for men vino are equally Ge-
sirous of serving their country. san
