COUNTY BOND ISSUE.

At its session yesterday the county
court adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas, There are outstanding
warrants Of this county, issued prior
to June 4. 1885, to the amount of about
S420 900; and
Whereas. In the opinion of this
board it is deemed advisable and for
the public interest to fund said in
debtedness and issue bonds therefor,
bearing interest az not to exceed per
cent per annum. as provided by law:
therefore, be i
Resolved The the county attorney
be, and he is hereby directed, empoW
cred and instructed to advise and coun-
sci with purchasers of such securities
with a view of ascertaining the most
desirable form of such bonds and the
lowest rate of interest at which the
same would probably be negotiated and
to make full report Of such inquiry
and investigation at as early a date as
practicable. and to submit to this court
a form of bond that will meet the re-
quirements of the law.
Why is not the exact amount of out
standing warrants of the county stated
instead of about the amount?
1t seems a rather unusual proceeding
to make the county attorney practic-
ally the financial agent of the county
To take charge of its financial affairs
is peculiarly the duty of the county
court, and if the court contemplates
making a bond issue it should gather
up all the data necessary to lay before
the voters when asking authority to
make it.
1t would be better to fund the county
Indebtedness no doubt than to let it
remain unfunded as at present, but
we think we do not misrepresent the
sentiments of the voters and taxpayers
OF Salt Lake county when we say they
do not believe the present county court
competent to deal with the subject.
The members are less competent as
financiers than as elevator experts, and
this is saying much. This county court
does not inspire confidence in the peo-
pie. 1t is very doubtful if the voters
of the county will authorize bond
issue no matter how good a showing
may be made in the premises.
The county court will demonstrate
some capacity to handle half million
bond issue when it shall have shown
it's capacity for making county ex-
penses less than county revenue.

A QUESTION OF D1sHoNoR.

One of the commonest arguments
thought to be the most potent, is that it
would be a great dishonor to the gov
eminent and the people were govern
ment debts paid in silver. The bonds
of the United States are made payable
in coin, and the word coin in them
means gold and silver. Those who
purchased them understood this. Have
they a moral right TO complain if they
are paid according to the terms of
their contract? They were not prom
ised that they would be paid in the
coin of any other realm than the Unit
ed States. The holders of those bonds
cannot logically or legally demand that
because other nations have adopted a
single gold standard and all their OBJ
legations are made payable in such
standard money this country shall do
the same. If they have any right to
complain it is because this country has
demonetized silver and that as a con-
sequence it has deprecated in price,
but when it is by agitation proposed
to restore it to its status prior to 1873,
they have no right to complain or
charge bad faith.
When the last but one issue of
United States bonds was made, this
very question of their payment in coin
(Which means either gold or silver
or gold came UP. Because they were
not made payable in gold the syndicate
that purchased them demanded a
higher rate of interest, andastated that
if the bonds were made payable in
gold it would pay a higher premium.
How can it be possible for-the govern
ment to be charged with dishonor if
those bonds are paid in silver? That
very contingency was of the essence
of the contract.
If silver were to appreciate and be-
come more valuable than gold, when
the monetary ratio was IS to /, would
not the bondhoIders demand silver and
declare it dishonest to offer to pay
in gold? They certainly would. Again,
they would wish to ignore the terms
of the contract and substitute a higher
moral law for the law of the bond.
Everything goes to show that they
are actuated more by the law of gain
than any higher moral law"

THE STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT

The contest between the city council
and the electric light company over the
question of street lighting is well
known to all the citizens 1t is also
known to them that a contract for
lighting the streets was made with the
company, which was to run for two
years, and that it was vetoed by Mayor
Glendinning; and that the city council
failed to pass the contract over the
mayors veto.
We understand that the electric light
company has decided to put in a bid
on the same terms as were. contained in
the contract for two years, for one year.
If put in it should be accepted, and
there is small likelihood that the mayor
will veto it Should he do so it is not
probable that another veto would be
sustained.
The mayor and city council made a
gallant fight for cheaper street light
ing and won. That the electric light
company sought to make the most ad-
vantageous terms for itself was
natural, but it miscaleulated the
strength of public opinion on the ques-
ton, not believing that the citizens
would so cheerfully submit to the great
Inconvenience of dark streets rather
than be made the victims of a huge mo-
nopoly Now that everything seems to
have terminated favorably for the city
contract should be entered into i'm
mediately for lighting the streets. Let
the streets be lighted.

say that it is. very Likely they Will be
able TO nominate a candidate of their
inclining, but they must do it in a
regular way and in accord with Demo-
cratic precedents. Then it declares
they viii have heavy enough load
TO carry with free coinage platform.
without adding TO it by the repeal of
the two-thirds rule to force a nominal
ton impossible under that rule.
If the silver men, being in the ma
jority, see fit to abolish the two-thirds
rule and nominate by majority,
would not that be in the regular way?
Would not the silver men prove them
selves to be a set of weaklings and
incompetents if they permitted the
gold men to virtually dictate who the
candidate should be and all because of
a rule of many years standing but
which will have no force in the con-
vention unless they themselves adopt
it? They would become a Mss and
byword and deserve the contempt of
all men. They will not do this.
If the gold men are so anxious to
preserve the two-thirds rule as they
profess to be, then they should be
willing to join the silver men, pre-
Stunning they will have a majority, to
nominate such a candidate as the lat
ter want? The gold men are calling
upon the silver men to make all the
sacrifices. 1t is time they showed
disposition to make some themselves.

times expresses his opinions in Ian

great disgust on the part of the presi-

this must be particularly the case
where, as with Mr.. Cleveland, he has
allenlated the bulk of his party. In
this respect he has been very un-
fortunate. In place of attempting to

done all he could to repel them. He

a GREAT MISFORTUNE.


1t would be almost impossible to con-
ceive of any greater misfortune than
it would be for either of the two great
parties not to meet the financial issue
fairly and squarely 1t is the issue of
the hour, the issue upon which the
gold standard men and the free silver
men believe that the future welfare of
the country depends The only issue
in this country this year about which
Europe is in the least Interested is
this one of finance. During the whole
of Mr.. Cleveland's second administra
ton it has been first and foremost The
great bond issues have been largely the
result Of the agitation over the money
question, those who approve of them
holding they were necessary to
maintain the governments financial
integrity, while those who disapprove
of them hold they were not necessary.
and that the financial question proper
could have been settled without any
disturbance of business and without
any injury to our national credit or
creditors by paying out silver when
that would have best served the
treasury's interest.
For year past there has been
throughout the entire Union an agita-
ton of this question of free silver or
no free silver that has gone into every
hamlet and house in the land There
has been nothing like it since ante
bellum days. The people wish to set
tie the question that the agitation may
stop; they want it put at rest, per-
manently decided so that they may
know what will be. And the interests
of business and commerce demand that
it shall be.
In view of all this could there be a
greater misfortune than for the ma
tional conventions to straddle this
question of free silver? A straddle
would settle nothing. For a little
While and only for a little while, the
agitation would subside and then break
out again fiercer than before, The peo-
pie are informed on the question and
will never be better prepared to vote
upon it than now. They want the
financial planks in the national plat
forms to be without equivocation or
the possibility of double construction
that they may express their views.
Let the delegates to st. Louis and to
Chicago take heed of this and act ac-
cordingly.

THE sPARRows.

There was in circulation in the city
yesterday a petition to the county
court asking it to fix bounty upon
the English sparrow and it's eggs. It
was signed by very many of the lead
ing citizens. 1t should receive the ia
vorable consideration of the court.
Every encouragement should be given
to the destruction of those pests, the
domestic spa~rows. In every way they
are a nuisance. They drive away our
native birds, while in no sense are
they a substitute for them. They are
neither song birds nor birds of fine
plumage. They are not merely vulgar
and uninteresting, they are the hoboes
and tramps of the feathered tribe.
The last legislature provided for their
determination, a thing that should
have been done years ago. This was
done in response to popular demand.
How popular this demand in this city
is, is shown by the names on the pc
tition that was circulated yesterday
The sparrows are more numerous in
this county than In any other in the
make provision to carry out the law
offering a bounty on them and their
eggs. They can do no more popular or
meritorious thing. And it should be
done right away. Give the boys a
chance to earn some money and per-
form a public service at the same
time.

PETTY JEALOUsIEs.

Many of the papers throughout the
state are advising the people of their
locality to take little or no part in the
midsummer carnival to be held in
this city next month. Their advice
is that the money that it would take to
participate in the carnival here
should be kept at home" Literally
followed out, not a town in the state
would have a celebration. A chief
argument used against participation in
the carnival in this city is that Salt
Lake city has the annual and semi
annual conferences of the Mormon
church, and that these take many
thousands of dollars from the country
towns that should be kept at home"
All this is not argument but an ap-
peal to prejudices. It shows a petty
jealousy of this city that is unworthy
of those who indulge it, and that they
are more inclined to take narrow than
broad views of things. The carnival in
this city is largely state affair and
those who are in charge of it are ad-
vertising the whole state and not
simply this city. If it is a success. and
it will be despite all efforts to the
contrary. it will be success for the
whole state. 1t is strange that our
out of town contemporaries who are
advising their constituents to take no
part in the Salt Lake affair do not see
this. Upon reflection they must see
it. Nor will the participation in the
event in this city in any way prevent
every town from having its own cele-
bration. 1t is a patriotic duty to prop
erly observe the Fourth of July
Let's be done with petty iealousies;
they are unworthy the people of Utah.
