DISCRIMINATING AGAINST UTAH

A Denver dispatch says that petit
ton has been filed with the Interstate
Commerce commission at Washington
by representatives of the Santa Fe, Rio
Grande, Rio Grande Western, Southern
Pacific, Colorado Midland and Union
Pacific railroads, asking. that these
roads be permitted TO charge less in the
aggregate for lorger distances between
Colorado points and California than for
shorter distances over the same lines.
The purpose is that the railroads may
be allowed to make a schedule of lower
rates in the state to the Pacific coast
than from Salt Lake City.
What the commission will do will.
the petition no one knows. What that
distinguished body viii do and when. is
just a little more uncertain than how
many barrels of an old Allen pepper
box pistol viii go off at once and where
the bullets viii hit. Its rulings on the
application of the long and the short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
act passeth all understanding.
Salt Lake City and Utah have al
ways been Disseminated against by
two past they have been receiving bet
ter treatment than usual. Is there any
reason in the world why Denver and
Colorado should be favored in this mat
ter at the expense of Salt Lake City
and Utah? All can readily see what
advantage it would be TO Denver and
Colorado, but can any one see why it
should be given them? What would be
said by the people of our sister state
We're the roads running into Omaha
or Kansas City to petition the Inter
state Commerce commission to be al
lowed to charge a less rate from Cali
fornia and Pacific coast points to those
cities than to Denver and Colorado
points? Or, to put another case, what
would be said by them were the roads
running into this city to petition to be
allowed to make less rate from east
ern and Atlantic coast points to Salt
Lake City and Utah points?
If this petition is allowed, it viii be a
very unjust discrimination against
Utah. The chamber of commerce in
this city and in Ogden and other cities
throughout the state should take i'm
mediate action on the matter, while our
congressional delegation should enter
a protest against favorable action by
the commission.
If it is a good thing for Colorado
merchants to ship by water to San
Francisco and get reduced railroad
rates that will make their total freight
charges less than shipping all the way
by rail. it is equally as good thing
for Utah.

BEGINNING TO KICK.

Liking the alliance between two
prominent statesmen to union be-
tween Blifl and Black George once
begot quite serious trouble, so we shall
rot iiken the alliance between the gold
Democrats and the Republicans to
such union. Since the election the
alliance has come to an end and those
who were for awhile such peaceful. if
strange, bedfellows. are now glazing
at each other and beginning to gnash
| their teeth
During the campaign the Chicago
Chronicle fairly out eroded Herod in
! denouncing Mr.. Bryan and standing
up for Major Mckinley. Now it is be-
ginning to realize how it, and all who
thought as it did, was made tool of.
1t says that Immediately after the
! election there was renewed activity in
every direction, while now all indie
! pendent industry and all trade not de-
pendent upon extraordinary foreign
demand pause again las the men WIN
are in the saddle threaten to convene
| congress il extra session and plunge
the country into another maelstrorn of
tariff agitation"
The Chronicle then goes on to say that
business men know all about both the
expedition and the conservatism of
congress. and especially a Republican
congress. They know that if an extra
session is called in March there will
| be an eXasDerating agitation all sum-
mer and that it will take nearer six
months than six weeks to dispose of
the matter. The: know also that the
moment a Republican congress takes
up the tariff the cormorants will flock
from all quarters They know that no
matter how conservative some people
mean TO be when they begin to bleed
the horse there will be no stopping till
the animal is dead and his bones picked
Clean
We agree with that WHY did not
the Chronicle realize all this when, it
was so frantically opposing the Demo-
cratic platform? From the very day
the St. Louis convention named Major
Mckinley as the candidate of the Re
publican party all that the Chronicle
now fears then became almost morally
certain. The cause which it told its
readers was depressing business has
been removed, but the depression re-
mains. Now it should be able to see
that all the fears it expressed regard
ing free silver were ill-founded.
Those who aided in the election of
Major Mckinley and Republican con-
gress- should remember that they in
dorsed the Republican programme
when they did SO. Having made their
bed they should lie in it and not go to
kicking the clothes off. Ii they suffer,
they should have the dignity and self
control TO suffer in silence.

ruNTsH1NG PosrMAsTERs.

It seems that President Cleveland is
indulging in the cutting off of the
heads Of postmasters who were per
niciously active in politics during the
late campaign. The I.,ople would have
no criticism 70 make of the admins
tration IN this respect were they not
convinced that flesh is being made of
some and fowl of others. They realize
that so long as federal office-holders
were active in behalf of the views held
by Mr.. Cleveland it was all right with
them, while with those who took differ
ent views it was all wrong. Postmaster
Hesing. of Chicago, was about as ac-
tive as a man could be, but his activity
pleased the president, so that what in
others YVES pernicious in him became
patriotism. So it was with Comp
troller Eckels and others.
If there is one thing the American
people love more than another, it is
justice and fair play. These two things
are absent from Mr.. Cleveland's course
in dealing with certain postmasters
and others. If they made personal at
lacks upon him or traduced him in any
way, they should be removed, and the
people would applaud the removal. but
to remove postmasters and others be-
cause they do not accept the same
views as TO governmental policy on
the money question that the chief ex-
ecutive does and said so, is nothing less
than tyranny.
The people long since discovered that
While Mr.. Cleveland is a strong man
he is also a vindictive one and does
not hesitate to use his position to pun
ish his enemies. And this is what he
is doing under the cloak of enforcing
the civil service reform rules. The
people soon detect hypocrisy and al
ways despise it.

BANK FAILURES.

A leading Kansas City bank has just
closed its doors. Announcements of
these bank failures are coming with
too much frequency from all parts of
the country. Their frequency is not
comparable with that of 1898, but the
announcement of any bank or other
failure at any time is too frequent.
The cause for these failures is not
far TO seek. The depression from which
the country has suffered for the past
three or four -ears has not been re-
moved. ii wGs promised the country
that il Major Mckinley We're elected
it would he removed. ana that pros
perity would come in its place. Many
institutions, banks and others, have
been struggling along hoping all the
while that relief would come Major
Mckinley has been elected, but that
which Was promised as a consequence
Of It has not come. The Institutions
that were placing their faith in the
promise, living from hand TO mouth
while waiting for the fulGllment, have
found out at last that all was illu-
sion. Before the election they were
lettering; now they are fast falling.
It is merely another illustration of the
saving that the weakest goes to the
wall.
What IS really surprising about the
situation IS that men of business ex-
perience and training should believe
that the election of any man to the
presidency could. .ioss fscto. relieve
country from the consequences of a
long period of depression. Periods of

THE YOUNG LADIES' AID SOCIETY.

For four days past the weather has
been bitterly cold, and those who have
not had coal and plenty of warm cloth
ing have suffered. Everybody has
thought of them, but how many have
done anything for them? PERHAPS
more than the public knows. But
many would do something if they could
but know who the needy and deserv-
ing ones are. Such need an organized
society through which to distribute
their charity. Such an organization
is the Young Ladies Aid society. 1t
has been in existence a number OF
years, and its members have gone
quietly among the poor and the needy
the sick and the afflicted, like minis
tering angels. doing all in their power
to relieve the wants of the needy, to
cheer and brighten the sick chamber.
In their ministerings they have known
no church, no creed, but have visited
all as Gods children.
The society needs funds to carry on
its good work. Recently it gave an
entertainment for this purpose. 1t
was quite successful, and those who
had it in charge feel encouraged to re-
reat it. The performance, The Pirates
of Penzance, will be given again this
week. 1t should be literally patronized;
the house should be packed. All who
feel interested in the poor and the
needy (and who does not?) should do
what they can to make the occasion
a great financial success Let all aid
the Young Ladies Aid society.
