Burgiars.

New School House Site - Fears of
Burglars.
A delegation, consisting Of Mr., Whelpley,
DR.. Widmer Of the school board, Mr. J. G.
Hurst and Mr.. J. v. N. Huyck, has select
ed the site for the new public school to be
located on the Conduit road. 1t is Of CEN
trail location, fronting on the Conduit road
Glen Hurst Park on the east and the Chain
Bridge road on the west. The new building
will be Of brick and will contain four
rooms 1t Is a much needed convenience,
and the construction will be pushed hur-
riedly.
John c. Hurst has sold to Poynton W.
Musson three lots on Hurst place east of
the distributing reservoir, and plans are
being prepared for handsome two-story
frame residence. with bay windows and all
modern Improvements.
Concealed Weapons.
Richard Nicholson is in a cell of the
seventh precinct station house for carrying
concealed weapon. The unlawful article
was razor. The man was arrested for
drunkenness and in the search that always
precedes an incarceration, the razor's ex-
lstence on his person developed.
Epidemic of Thievery.
The police have rid the town, temporar-
lily at least, of three annoying pilferers,
Louis Carter, Alfred Johnson and MARCEL
lus Active. They are all colored minors.
who have kept their moral existence faint
ed from almost babyhood. Two of them
have done time in Jail more than once.
Active Is, through his deeds, leader Of the
gang. They are all household thieves, 1t is
alleged, and have worked in various sec
lions of town. Recently they stole car
pet from the home of Mr.. Delzel Premises
LOS 29th street were entered and relieved
Of household effects, and Mr.. III. w. Of
futtS home had provisions taken from 1t.
Detective Frank Burrows and Officer Con-
nor made the arrests. These pilferers hav-
ing made themselves acquainted with the
police before and fell under official sur
VIGILANCE soon as the thefts were report
ed suspicion was well founded. The cpl
demic of thievery is still on here. The con-
tagion is spreading. The arrest of the
leaders is only arousing old offenders to
action.
Nearly twenty-five cases of pilfering,
burglary and plain thefts have developed
in the past ten days. The police are kept
on the Qui vive. Men are going to bed at
night now with revolvers at reaching dis
lance, while women are fatigued with
fears.
There is a condition reigning here like
that produced by the stay of Jack the
Slasher.'

ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Movements of Interest In the Local
Union.

The regular meeting of the Electrical
Workers. Union No 20, does not take place
until tomorrow night, but several import
ant matters have transptrei since the last
meeting. One Of the leading members has
been authorized by the authorities of Con
zaga College to prepare plans, and has been
assured that he shall have the contract
for the installation of the electric light ting
plant which 1t is intended to place in the
new hall to be constructed by the college.
The plant will be supplied with all the
latest improvements and be of sufficient ca
pacity to run $3.50 lights, while 1t may
also be arranged to furnish power and per-
haps heat if it shall later be determined
advisable to derive power and heat from
electricity. All the work on the plant will
be performed by union men whose homes are
in this city.
At the present time there is but one thea
ter in WaShington-Ine Academy of Music
where a strictly union electrician Is en-
ployed. but negotiations, which are likely
to be successful, are in progress for the
addition of three other leading places of
amusement to the list when the season
opens in the fall
Great interest is being taken by the union
electrical workers of Washington in the
coming convention of the National Brother
hood of Electrical Workers at Minneap-
oils. The convention will comprise about
400 delegates. representing between $4,000
and 10000 workers, and they will come
from every EecUOn OF the united states.
The reports will. 1t is expected, show O
wonderful advance in every line to which
members have devoted their investigation
since the last convention. The first con-
veation of the brotherhood was held in
1891 at st. Louis, and was composed CT ten
delegates. The second also convened at
ST. Louis, and had a membership of thirty
six delegates. The third was held in 1893
at Cleveland, Ohio, at which there were
100 delegates. At this meeting it was de-
termined to hold biennial conventions in
future, and consequently there was no
meeting of the national brotherhood held
last year. The approaching convention
will, as has already been stated, have 400
delegates. all of whom will be the guests
of the local union OF electrical workers of
Minneapolis. The sessions will continue for
a week or ten days, during which papers of
an interesting and important character on
assigned subjects will be read

taken.

The attempt to make the United
States pay half million dollars as a
starter to lay a cable from the Pacific
coast to the Hawaiian Islands, was a
link in the annexation scheme which
is being diligently worked in aid Of
spectators in Hawaiian bonds. 1t was
tried by attaching rider to an appr0-
priatiOn bin in the Senate, and author
lied the President to contract for the
entire work of laying a telegraphic
cable between the United States and
Hawaii, and to direct the prosecution
of such work.
The outlay of half a million would
be but a preliminary. The entire ex-
pense of the survey and of laying the
cable and operating it would fall on
this government. Do people who favor
the cable project take all that into
considerations.
A Boston paper discussing the mat
ter puts it in this light;
Considered in this way, it viii be
difficult to find reasonable cause for
opposition TO an enterprise which, on
the other hand, has as much to COM
mend it. For, in the first place, the
United States has not the right to in
sist that Hawaii shall remain isolated
from the rest of the world, deprived of
the means Of Immediate COmmunica-
ton which other countries enjoy. And
this is what would be meant by it
for the United States has indicated
clearly its objection to the granting of
q landing of an English cable on the
islands We must either let others
come in or take the place ourselves.
Objecting to the laying of an Eng
lish cable, and the building Of one by
this government are two essentially
different things. and the latter does
not follow because Of the former II
is not the business Of the United States
government to go into cable laying
and operating. 1t is a matter for the
engagement Of private enterprise and
capital This government may prop
erly give such venture its sanction
and moral support. but not its money
and responsibility.
A cable to Hawaii would no doubt
be Of great value to business men in
both countries. But it is doubtful
whether the commercial concerns of
the islands would warrant the outlay
required in such an enterprise. The
truth is that the cable project is a
lingo dodge to lead up to annexation.
1t Will not work.

"EVENLY DIVIDED.v

There is much comment among people
Of both political parties over the equal
division idea. said to be entertained
and promoted by certain leading men.
That is, that the proper thing for the
citizens Of Utah to do is to become 50
nearly equally divided into Democrats
and Republicans, that very trifing
diversion in either direction would
change the political situation. Or. as
some unkind persons intimate, that by
a simple turn Of the wrist master
hand could manipulate the politics of
the state.
This notion sprang, no doubt. from
the expressed desire of prominent men
that the cause Of animosity in the
past against the majority Of Utah's
people, that is their unbroken solidity
at the polls, might be removed by their
af1lation, according to choice. with
the two great political parties Of the
country. That the division on national
party lines Of the former Peoples
party was a wise step, we believe no
experienced person in either party
will now dispute. That the time for
it to be taken was opportune we think
viii be as generally conceded.
But there is a question as to the
manner and extent of this division. On
what principle ought it to be con-
Quoted? Should it be by evenly dfvid-
ing the voters up by order, or advice,
or any sort OF management having in
view merely a balancing of numbers
We think not. We do not admit there
has been anything Of that character
If there has we pronounce It a mis-
take, to use the mildest term apple
able.
The only right way Cor the people OF
Utah, in common with other citizens of
the United States to take position
as to party, Is by obtaining an under
standing Of the principles and pur-
poses Of the respective parties and by
freely choosing for themselves which
party shall have their support It is
true that everybody has not sufficient
independence of mind and force of
character, to say nothing of intelK-
gent comprehension to do that fully.
There will always be folks who lean
on others for a guide as to politics as
well as other matters. But the rule
we mention Is a general rule and is
the right one TO follow.
Sincerity and fidelity IN politics may
seem Ike an Wrridescent dream" to
some people Policy and expediency
may regulate their political conduct.
But the soul impressed with the re
sponsibindes and duties of true citi-
zenship occupies no such shifting
ground and is swayed by no such
paltry motives. A man who loves his
country and desires its welfare will
exercise his personal influence, on his
own agency, in that direction which to
him seems right. He will examine the
ground closely and when he chooses
his position, he and others will know
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-02-23

where he stands and that he is there
from intelligent and personal choice.
The evenly divided proposition i'm
plies two things: First. some one to
direct the division: second, people will
ing to be allotted to their required
places. It is out of harmony with a
republican form of government. It
violates the first principles of democ-
racy. AS we have said, we do not adj
nit it's adoption in Utah. There may
have been attempts on the part Of
some individuals to effect what has
| been uttered merely as wish by wiser
men. Desiring to see an equal division
of people into parties, and endeavoring
to bring it about by dictation, persua-
sion or pretended authority are two
widely different things.
I Coming down to actual facts in
Utah, it is well known that the lean
ings of the great body of rhe people
here we're towards the Democratic
party But many of them we're COM
paratiVely uniformed as to the
theories Of the Republican party.
I Therefore their Democracy was not a
fixed inclination. The greater part of
the adherents to the Liberal organiza-
ton were Republicans as to party. The
present Republican party Of Utah is
composed Of former Liberals; men who
had always affiliated with that party:
members of the former Peoples party
who became converted to the pro.ec-
ton, bounty ana strong government

having 10 fixed political siHtus,
thought one party as good as another,
and believing that the equal division
notion vas the right thing, went into
the Republican i,anks t. help Er;ng it

! This latter class is small. As rule
the people of Utah have studied pcliti-
cal principles closer rhan is generally
believed. The election figures sh,w
that While tho Republican party has
rapidly grown from the clements we
have described. The Democratic party
has not only held its own as to nun
bers, but has materially decreased.
Notwithstanding the hard times coinci-
dent with the Democratic ascendancy,
and the influences brought to bear
upon them Of various kinds to lead
them astray.
1t is clear, then. that however
strongly the even division idea may
have been entertained by some, and
industriously worked up by others, the
masses of the people have taken their
| q L.
litical choice. They should now be left
to that entirely. The only influence
brought to bear in either direction
should be that OF reason and fair dis
cussion to convince mems minds. To
that, from either or any party, no one
can justly object Even or uneven as
to division. be the preponderance one
way or the other, the free choice of
the citizens should be left untram-
meled and there will be no permanent
peace for Utah if a contrary course is
taken.

NEz PIERCE RESERVATION.

The prospective opening of the Nez
Perez reservation in Idaho has caused
the towns like Grangeville and Lewis
ton to take on quite business air, if
one is to believe the statements made
by the newspapers in that section of
the country. Several Of the towns are
already overrun with "sooners," who
are impatiently awaiting the arrival Of
the day and the hour when it will be
lawful to enter homesteads and take
up the work of subduing the land and
bringing forth fruits, flowers and
vegetables.
Those who are in position to know
give it as their unqualified statement
that the land now occupied by the Nez
Perces, Is among the richest in the
state both from an agricultural and a.
mineral point of view. This being the
case, there is no reason why the north
ern part Of Idaho should not for the
next few years, at least enjoy great
business activity, IL not a solid BOOM
Idaho, as yet, TO many people is a
terra incosnita, owing mainly to the
