THE CAMERON RESOLUTION.

TIE Cameron resolution for. the recog-
milton of Cuban independence is proba-
bly, the outcome of the very warlike
speeches of Senators Cullom. Call and
Morgan, all of whom are members of
the senate committee on foreign rela-
TONS The effect of it already has
been to stir up the country as it has
not been stirred up since Mr.. Cleveland
sent his famous message on Venezuela
to congress a year ago; in fact this
Cameron resolution may be called
commemoration of that message. which
was delivered Dec. II. 1895. But there
is this difference between the two
then congress was with the president
now the president is not with congress.
This makes all the difference in the
world
Secretary of State Olney has taken
particular pains to define the attitude
of the administration towards the
resolution. He says that if the resolu-
ton is passed by the senate and in
turn passed by the house it can only
be regarded as an expression of opinion
by the gentlemen who vote for it. AS
Stunning the passage of the resolution
by congress as an expression of public
opinion, it would have but small in
fiuence upon President Cleveland if he
should set his face against doing any
thing about it. This is probably what
he would do, for in his. message he was
particular TO call attention to the fact
that the Cubans had no organized gov
eminent with which it would be DOS
sible TO open diplomatic relations. Sec
rotary Olney made this fact one of the.
main features of his report. To say
the least it would certainly be an
anomalous thing to recognize the in
dependence of a republic that had no
seat of government or recognized civil
authorities
1t is not impossible that the country
is about to witness a struggle between
the executive and the legislative de-
partments of the government OF
necessity it cannot, if it comes, be of
very long duration; nor could it be-
come so virulent as the quarrel between
Andrew Johnson and congress. If the
present acute stage of the excitement
over the Cuban question is passed
without anything positive being done
by this government in regard to Cuba,
it is hardly likely that the incoming
administration will take the question
UP Immediately and force it to the
front. President Mckinley will proba-
bly, prefer to wait some little time be-
fore formulating any positive policy in
regard to Cuba.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS VIEW.
The opinion which means all this
was sent to County Collector Spencer
yesterday, and reads:
In answer to your request of this
date for our opinion as to the situation
that exists relative to the sale by you
OF property for delinquent taxes, in view
OF the fact that the supreme court of
the state of Utah has declared uncon-
stitutional and illegal that part of the
tax levy on property in Salt Lake City
which was intended to inure to the bene-
MT OF the county school fund, we beg to
advise you that We have made a careful
examination of the authorities covering
said point and advise you as follows:
The recent decision of the supreme
=.
yourself settles absolutely the question
as Tar as the state is concerned. that
under our present constitution it is both
unconstitutional and illegal to collect
a tax on city property in Salt Lake City
for the support of schools in the county
outside of the city, and this decision we
are compelled to accept as final on that
question.
las to any county property that is ad-
vertised under the present advertisement
for delinquent taxes, including the county
school tax, We advise you. however. that
such property is not affected by this de-
cision and that you are authorized TO go
on and sell such property in accordance
with your present advertisement Prop
been by this decision held not to be sub
Ject to the lien of this tax, any adver-
tisement for the sale of said property for
delinquent taxes stands on an altogether
different ground.
Our last legislature. in sections 143 and
AS of the revenue law. apparently under
took to provide for a difficulty of this
character by Provlding that no sale ie,,o OF
quent taxes, where part of the assess
ment was valid and part invalid, should
be Illegal. etc, unless the party owning
said property, or their agent, should file
a written protest against said sale al least
six days prior to the advertised date of
sale, stating what part of the tax he
claimed to be invalid and his reasons for
such claim. A careful examination of
both text book and case law on this sub
ject however, compels us to advise you
that in our opinion this section of our
revenue law is unconstitutional for the
reason that where property is sold for
tax. wholly or partly Illegal. or excessive,
such sale is an attempt, or at least. an
initiatory step in undertaking to take
away from the owner of property the title
to the same without due process of law.
and the authorities that we have found
on this point are nearly unanimous to
that effect.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Business has not become buoyant
since the election notwithstanding the
many promises made that it would if
Mr. Bryan was defeated and Major Nc
Kinley elected. 1t is folly for people
TO expect any great immediate revival
of business as the result of any cleo
ton. AS business does not reach its
very lowest stage of depression sud
denly neither does it fully recover from
depression suddenly. The depression
that is now upon the country has been
coming on for years; time is necessary
to recover from it. 1t is now that sea-
son of the year when all business en-
terprises are dull and more or less
dormant. There would have been much
the same duilness had Mr.. Bryan been
elected. What the real effects of Major
McKiniey's election will be cannot be
determined until he is inducted into

held its annual reunion here in 1882 A

sided. In his opening speech he was
puzzled for words, but after a fashion
he managed TO stammer out something
that but few heard and less understood.

said just as he spoke 1t. When he got
through he came around to me, and said:

nice little speech for me-
Howard made up a dainty little speech
for the mander of the American army.
which greatly pleased him.
few years later, when he was on
duty at Washington, Howard's duties
frequently took him to headquarters and
he always met a hearty welcome. The
first time he called Sheridan said: "Oh
yes, i remember you. You are the man
who made that nice speech for me in
Milwaukee,"
on several occasions he introduced
Howard TO his friends as the author of
the best speech he ever made.

And quaking leaves and sunlight
And long neon hours.

Above the little town:
And there in pleasant weather
You can look far Gown.
To broad bikes of Grand Pre-
Roamed over by the herds,
And the purple Minas water
Where fish the white sea-b.rds.

Where the slow rivers glide
Between the grassy orchards,
Come in upon the tide.
For daily there accomplished
Is the seas legerdema.n,
To ill the land with rivers
And empty it again.
Before you lies North Mountain,
Built like a long sea-wall-
A wondrous blue in summer.
A crimson wonder in fall.
The sea-fogs cloud and mantle
Along its fir-dark crest.
While under it the fruit-lands
Have shelter and have rest.
And when the goblin moonlight
Loiters. upon his round
OF valley. marsh and mountain
To bless my garden ground
The harvest moon that fingers
Until his task is done,
And all the grain is ripened

Under the polar star,

WAITING FOR THE DECISION.

For two days past there have been
cases. What these rumors are, are best
epitomized in a dispatch from this city
to the Provo Enquirer of yesterday.
The dispatch says:
Considerable anxiety is manifest in
the public mind as to the possible out
come. Some people conjecture that
Judge Zane has decided to sustain the
law, and that the other judges are not
with him; and others again assume
that the chief justice is for applying to
the law strict construction of the con-
Stitution, which simply means a knock
OUT for the former, and that the two
associates are arguing the point" and
have not yet got through with the ar
guments.
All these rumors are nothing but pure
conjectures. It is possible that one of
the judges has reached his conclusions
in the case and that the others have
not Supposing this to be the case.
nothing whatever can be inferred
from il.
1t is an important case. tremendously
so, and very naturally the members of
the supreme court desire to give it
what study and consideration they can.
The anxiety of the people to know
what the decision of the court will be
should not lead them into wild con-
lecture Last Thursday The Herald
said regarding rumors about the de-
cision: 1T can be stated definitely
that there will be no decision rendered
before Saturday and probably not I'M
til Monday" When that statement
could be made definitely Thursday, why
should there be so many rumors and
conjectures when the decision was not
rendered Saturday.

Senator Sherman voiced Republican
