THE ATTACK ON JUDGE POWERS.

That Apostle John Henry Smith
should have made a personal attack on
Judge Powers at Willard is somewhat
surprising, referring in terms to his
conduct of the city campaign here
five years ago. But what Apostle John
Henry Smith says on politics does not
carry much weight with any one, no
matter to what party they may be
long. But it is not so with President
George @. Cannon. At the Box Elder
state conference held at Brigham City
last Monday, he is reported to have
referred to Judge Powers, not directly
by name, but as a certain man who had
been paid $4,000 for work at the time
the political control of Salt Lake City
changed from the Peoples party to the
Liberal. In another part of The Herald
will be found the reply of Judge Powers
to these attacks, and it should be read
by all.
Nothing could tend more to revive
the old issues that were once here than
to have the name of the leader of the
Liberal party banded about in the
pulpit at a stake conference. and say
ing he is now leading the Democratic
party and trying to prejudice people
against it on account of that fact. 1t
is possible to raise issues in a single
campaign that it will take many cleo
tons to settle

A GhUT OF GOLD.

The other day Director of the Mint
Preston estimated the production of
gold for 1895 at $500, 00O, 600. If this es-
innate is realized it will be an in
crease of $4,000 over the production
for 1894, and over that of 1898 of $43,-
100000. This means an absolute in
crease in the worlds supply of gold in
three years of S537 ,0O0, 900. This is an
enormous amount, and if the rate of
increase keeps up it will take but four
or five years to make the actual an
nual output $3.50, 900, OOO If the produc-
ton were to be double that amount it
would be a matter of congratulatfon,
though such scarcely seems to be
the opinion of Mr. w. r. Lawson, a
writer in the London Bankers Maya
zine. He anticipates a time when
there may be such an enormous pro-
duction of gold that there may be
necessity to stop it's free coinage and
limit its legal tender quality. When
that time shall arrive, if ever it does,
seeing that this is now the fate of sill
ver 1T will be necessary to have a new
money metal, for the world will never
be satisfied with fiat gold money,
worth intrinsically only half it's face
value, perhaps even less.
Much of this talk about the great
abundance of gold is for the purpose
Of making people believe that there is
nothing in the silver agitation and
there is a threatened glut of the more
precious metal. There is more of
chicanery than honesty in such talk;
and glut or no gIut of gold, the silver
agitation will be continued until silver
is restored to its proper position as a
money metal

LAW-LOVING TEXAS.

For months it was advertised all over
the country that there would be a
great prize fight at Dallas. The au-
thorities of the state were very much
exercised over the matter, and it hay-
tng been found there was no law in
Texas against prize fighting, Governor
Culberson convened the legislature in
extraordinary session and law against
it was passed. and the good name and
the fair fame of the Lone Star state
were saved, while praises from all
parts of the Union were showered
down upon the Governor and legisla-
ture. And they were deserving of it.
But a blot has Just been put upon
Texas law-loving fame. At Tyler in
that state, last Monday, brutal negro
outraged and murdered young white
woman. He was captured by the Off
GERS, but they were compelled to sur
render him to a mob. Very soon after
an officer, followed by three hundred
determined and well-armed men, ap-
peared upon the scene. but the officers
were overpowered and disarmed. 1t
was dCCAOCd W Oul IL lllC ltSIOs "a
march to Tyler was made, and a scat.
fold erected in the center of the square,
and the negro was dashed to an iron
rail that extended through the plat
form. Then the torch was applied by
the husband of the murdered woman.
There was an immense crowd collected
to see this, being composed of '1adies
and children" to whose visiting cards
may have been attached the letters,
r. F. T.

white women are most horrible, and
their perpetrators deserve death, and

LEE FA1RcH1LD, the imported Cali
fornia mountebank, wants to know by
what right the Democrats take bread
out of the mouths Of Hon. Charles
Cranes children. They have no right
in the world to do it; and if it has been
done, we are surprised that Mr.. Crane
would allow it. Every one has a right
to take a chicken bone out of a child S
mouth when it is choking, but not to
take bread from it.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-10-31

undoubtedly any jury in the South
would pronounce verdict that would
be followed by sentence of death. But
these torturings of negroes that are
becoming common in the South are a
disgrace to our American civilization.
They are lawless and barbarous and
the authority of the state is set at
defiance.
If Governor Culberson is really anx-
ious to maintain for Texas a reputa-
ton for law and order. he should bend
all the energies of the state to bring
these Tyler outragers of law and hui
mainly to justice The crime of the
negro, horrible and revolving as it was,
does not justify their crime.

THE REPUBLICANS put forth many

So far therefore, from being fnan-
cial burden, it appears that statehood
will be a financial gain.
The constitution provides that the
aggregate state tax cannot exceed s
mills until the total taxable property
shall be 5000. 900, 900, double its present
aggregate, and then provides for re-
duction in the levy; it limits the state

plus 100000; it protects loaning the
public credit to railroad and other pri-
vate schemes, and the voting of money
not actually in the treasury. II it be
urged that Offices and expenses will be
multiplied, it may be asked where is
the guaranty that this will not be
done under a territorial government?
No citizen will be justified for one
moment in hesitating to vote for the
constitution on the plea of increased
expense-such a plea is founded upon
mistaken and incomplete estimates.
Should it be true that our expenses
would be augmented 100000, this would
mean an increased levy Of mills,
burden that appears to be utterly in
when considered in connec-
ton with the great advantages that
will come through statehood, not least
of which will be the satisfaction of be-
coming full-hedged American citizens.

That Is u remarkable showing which
Is made by the Clgarmakers' lnterna-
tlOnal Union, whose officials have just
reported that during the yenr 1894 the
union paid out $44.066 In strike bene.
fits. $1O6,75S IN sick benefits. soc, 15S
In death benefits. and $1I4,517 for the
benefit of those out OF work. The
whole sum of benefits paid out Is $43O,-
$50. 1t Is to be noted that of the varf-
GUS benefits mentioned that which Is
credited to strikes Is the least, and the
President Of the union reports that In
addition to these payments the society
successfully protected the rate OF wages
throughout the great financial depres-
sion of 1894. The figures are worth
perusal, not only as an exhibition Of
the beneficial workings Of some labor
unions, but as IN illustration that the
institution of the labor union entirely
apart from the institution Of the strike
has Its reasons for being and Its func-
lions to perform. The labor union
properly operated does more to obvi-
ate strikes than to instlgate them.
