Rockies, taught by usage to be cam in

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

The New York World is authority
for the statement that Mr.. W. K. Van
derbilt, of New York, sent his personal
check for $4,000 to the Republican
campaign committee. This was done
voluntarily, and not in answer to any
appeal from the chairman of the COM
mittee for funds. This amount is the
largest single campaign contribution
ever made.
In 1888 John Wanamaker raised a
campaign fund of 100000 for the Re
publican party. He was given credit
for the amount, as it was through his
efforts that it was raised. The re-
ward for this contribution was the
postmaster-g eneralship.
In 1892 Mr.. Van Allen made a con-
tribution of $4,000 to the campaign
fund of the Democratic party. In
recognition of Mr.. Van Aliens great
he made his contribution, President
Cleveland nominated him to the Ital-
ian mission. The nomination caused
a great hue and cry to go up from all
over the country that the nomination
was a recognition of the worth of the
contribution, and not of the man. Mr..
Cleveland, being a great stickler for
purity in politics, refused to withdraw
Mr.. Van Aliens name. but he himself
cut the Gordian knot by declining the
nomination.
Large contributions to campaign
funds from wealthy men are perfectly
legitimate when made with proper mo-
tives. If made with the hope of re-
ward in the shape of influential posi-
tons under the government. they are
not proper. And when they are so
large as to draw the attention of
whole nation they are almost certain
to kill any political aspirations those
making them may have.
The late Jay Gould was probably the
most discriminating campaign contrib
utor that ever lived. When he was
managing the Erie he used to con-
tribute to the campaign funds of both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties And he had his reward in the
immunity the Erie enjoyed from at
tacks from Albany.

THE INCOME TAX.

An English capitalist with large in
city the other day and while discussing
political questions said that there was
one plank in the Chicago platform
which Englishmen had been educated
up to- That was the income tax
plank.
Such a tax is bound to become a
political question at no distant day be-
cause it appeals to reason and the peo-
pies sense of justice. Nothing could
be more equitable. Such d tax meets
with the condemnation of most of
those who would have to pay it, and
it was from this class that the great
opposition to il came when it was in
corporated in the Wilson-Gorman law.
That class finally triumphed before
the supreme court but by the merest
majority. 1t will never be believed by
the people that Justice Shiras was in
duced to change his opinion so much
by legal argument as through the in
fiuences of his social environment. 1t
is one OF those things that will not
down until it has been settled right;
and all those opposing an income tax
may as well understand this now ds
ever.
The Kansas City Star commenting
on the remark of this English capital
list says:
The question of the validity of an
income tax has been twice passed on
by the supreme court of the United
States. and the opinions handed down
differed. This fact would indicate that
the question upon which the matter
depends is not fundamental, for if it
were great lawyers could not disagree
upon it. Therefore, there is no telling
how the court would decide it now or
next year. In deciding it adversely the
last time the court reversed itself To
affirm it upon a second hearing would
&c only another reversal and in the
direction of reason, because in the line
OF justice. That the second reversal

A KINGS KINGLY ACT.

King Oscar, of Sweden, who has re-
Gently been chosen fifth arbitrator of
the Venezuelan dispute. recently did an
act that reads like an episode in a
knightly romance.
Last summer a Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
d. Youmans, of New York city, were
killed while driving along road near
Bergen, Norway. The fatal accident,
which happened July 4. occurred
through the horses backing the car
riage. over a precipice. Not long after
wards King Oscar, being in the vicin-
ity of the accident, desired to see the
spot. which was marked by a cross
Upon the cross he placed some flowers.
He Immediately ordered that a monu
ment be erected on the fatal spot.
This has been done. The monument
is a rough hewn shaft resting upon
massive base. Upon it is this inscrip-
ton lin Norwegian):
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel D. Younans, of
New York,
met their death here by an accident,
on the 4th of July. 1895.
Gods grace be with them"
On the reverse side:
oscar the Second erected this me-
morial''
An account of the circumstances has
been sent the state department by Con-
sui Mann, together with a photograph
Such an act is worthy of a king, and
the people over whom Oscar rules
should be proud of him, while the peo
pie of the United States will appre-
ciate it as an act that is gracious in
the extreme. 1t will do more than a
treaty, no matter how friendly its
terms, to draw the people of the Unit
ed States and those of Sweden and
Norway together. And how justly
proud of their native country will be
our Scandinavian citizens.

SUGAR BoUNTIEs.

The Bee and the World-Herald of
Omaha are discussing the question of
the state granting bounties on beet
sugar manufactured in the state. The
Bee favors such bounties. while the
World Herald opposes them. The
World Herald's position is invulner-
able.
In this controversy the Lehi factory
is used as an Illustration by both pa
pers. The Bee says:
It (the World Herald) sets up the
Lehi, Utah, factory as model and
talks glibly about the enormous profit
of raising sugar beets at 81 ton in
Nebraska The Utah beet fields are
worked by Mormon women and chill
dren, very much as the German and
French beet fields are, where women
and children in harness with trained
dogs haul vegetables to market. Such
culture" is not practicable in Ne
braska. The Lehi factory sells all its
product in Utah at from one dollar to
two dollars a hundred higher than the
jobbing price of beet sugar in Ne
vantage over Nebraska factories in
the higher freight rates from either the
Pacific or Atlantic coast.
The slur that the Bee makes upon
the Mormon women and children in
comparing them with women and chill
dren who in harness with trained dogs,
haul vegetables to market will be
duly appreciated in Utah, but we
would advise the Bee not to urge this
comparison as an argument when
seeking 10 enlist Utah aid for the
Trans Mississippi exposition. The good
people of this state who are engaged in
the raising of sugar beets do not feel
that they are degrading themselves or
that they are doing that which is be-
meath the people of Nebraska. Our
intention when we began was to speak
of sugar bounties, and not of the Bees
slurs
The Bee points out that the Lehi fac
tory sells all its product in Utah
at from one dollar to two dollars a
hundred higher than the jobbing price
of beet sugar in Nebraska. This is a
great advantage to the Lehi factory,
and is tantamount to bounty equal to
the freight rates on sugar from San
Francisco to the east.
Had the people of Utah been so I'M
fortunate as to have had Republican
legislature, il is almost certain that
there would have been a strong effort
made to have the state grant a bounty
ON sugar. There is no such danger
now. The soil and climate of the state
are admirably suited to the production |
of sugar beets, and to make the sugar
industry a success here all that is
needed are pluck and perseverance !
The Lehi factory has proven this. If /
President McKinley's administration /
will but enforce the laws against the /
Sugar trust, Utah. will have several |
sugar factories in the next few years.
If beet sugar cannot be manufac-
tured in Nebraska for the same price
that the people can buy it, but has
to have a bounty to make the industry
profitable, then it is not adapted to
Nebraska What is the sense of the
people of Nebraska taxing themselves
to pay someone to raise beets and I
make sugar when they can buy it
cheaper than they can possibly pro-
duce it?

ONE POLICY DETERMINED ON.

The policy of the next administration
seems to have been definitely deter
mined in one respect. 1t is that not a
drop of liquor shall enter the White
House during Major McKinley's term.
For this decision the w. c. T. Z. has
addressed a letter of thanks to Major
and Mrs. Mckinley.
This teetotal policy was pursued by
President and Mrs. Hayes and they did
not appear to experience any particular
inconvenience from it. When the ques-
ton was first mooted it caused great
deal of discussion, and those who were
supposed to be authorities on social
matters and the sine qua mons of Of
fetal etiquette were very much shocked
at the idea that wines were not to ap-
pear at state banquets. But the gov
eminent and those who attended the
banquets survived.
1t is not at all necessary that the
etiquette governing state dinners
given by the president at the White
House should conform to the etiquette
that obtains at the various European
courts any more than it is necessary
that the etiquette of the various courts
shall be the same. Ambassadors and
minister plentipotentiary will adapt
themselves to whatever customs and
rules of etiquette may prevail at the
courts or governments to which they
are assigned.
If the next administration banishes
wines and liquors from the table at
state banquets no one will be offended.
no one will be chagrined. There will
be some comment on the matter at first
but it will very soon cease to be
matter of comment even.

MCCOY SENTENCED.

light.

was perfectly willing for a few dollars
to violate the law and endanger an
unfortunate girls life. Of course he
was cognizant of what he was doing
all the time but was willing to take the
chances of the success of his unlawful
course, hoping all the time to conceal
his own crime. He did not succeed and
now the law comes in and vindicates
itself.
In all communities of the size of this
city there are always plenty of men
who profess the medical calling that
are perfectly willing to prostitute their
skill and knowledge to the commission
of crime They are often suspected,
rarely discovered to the public, and
more rarely punished. For this reason
the conviction of men of McCoy's class
is matter OF more than ordinary con-
graduation to the public. In this par
ticular case there are others who are
equally guilty with Mccoy and if they
can be reached they should be- and
be punished. There may be no other
convictions in the case but this one, yet
this is a great triumph for the law.
