Speaking of the effects upon the

says that ''it may well be doubted
whether all the misery which had been
inflicted on the English nation In a
quarter OF century by bad kings. bad
ministers. bad pariiaments and bad
Judges was equal to the misery caused
in couple OF years by bad crowns and

Nothing could be purchased without a

1t is not generally known that the
issuance and looking after of clergy
mans half fare permits. involves an
amount of labor for the Western Pas
senger association that is immense in
itself. All such permits must come
through Chairman Caldwell who acts
for all the lines forming such associa-
ton, and they are many. The number
of clergymen who use such permits
are many too-they are away up in
the thousands.
Every now and then the chairman
sends out a printed list fer the guild
ance of passenger agents and their

of all clergymen who have fallen by
the wayside, or permitted the special

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Much Discussion Among Those Con-
cerned in the Reorganization.


NEW YORK, June Il12-The Herald
this morning says:
There is much discussion among
those concerned in the. reorganization
of the Northern Pacific as to the form
of charter the company is to have, or
whether 1t is advisable to foreclose
the property at present in view of
the fact that the present congress has
failed to give to company a new char
ter.
A story is afioat in Wall Street to
the effect that the failure of congress
to pass the expected Legislation was
partly due to the efforts of the bond
holders of the Seattle, Lake Shore &
Eastern railroad. The resolutions au-
thorizing the new charter, which were
before the committee Of congress, stip-
ulated that all property claims against
the Northern Pacific were to be set
tied.
According to the report. the bond
holders of the Seattle, Lake Shore &,
Eastern had claim of about S. OO0. 900
which the Northern Pacific had refused
to readjust The bonds of the Seattle
road would guarantee the principal and
interest of the Northern Pacific and
when the former road was sold some
1.-THE ago IL was DOuSnC IN Dy the
Northern Pacific for 81 ,000,O 00 The
outstanding bonds amounted to Sc. O00.-
900.
According to the report, the Seattle
bondholders Were so indignant that
they determined to- block things at
Washington. 1t is said that one of
their representatives appeared before
the committee and explained that they
were unable to get any satisfaction
from the reorganization committee ON
the Northern Pacific road.
The sale of the Northern Pacific is
advertised to take place next month,
but as no action in regard to the new
charter was taken at this session of
congress it is considered likely that
the sale will be postponed. A charter
might be obtained from one of the
states but it would lack many of the
valuable rights that are enjoyed by

GALLUP, N. NJ. June 12-Senator
Stephen NJ. White of California passed
through here today on his way from
Washington to his home in Los An
geles. When asked concerning the ru-
mors connecting his name with the
Democratic presidential and vice-preSi-
Dental nominations, he said he was
not a candidate for either office. In
discussing the platform to be adopted
by the Democratic national convention,
the senator said:
81 would be heartily in favor of
amending the constitution so as to
give congress the power to impose a
tax upon all incomes. The decision
of the supreme court on the income tax
bill 1 regard as a great misfortune,
not only because of it's direct bearing
upon the problem of raising revenue,
but because it reversed the presidents
of a century and discredited the court
itself. The dissenting opinions of
White and Harlan seem to me unan-
swerable. After that first decision /
would not have voted for an income
tax bill Of any sort that could be
drawn in conformity with the doctrine
laid down by the court. A just in
come tax is needed to provide a reserve
and I think the people generally are
in favor of such methods of raising
money to meet the expenses of the
government"
On the Cuban question Senator
White said:
TT is not likely that anything de-
cisive can be done at present to assist
Cuba. The president told the commit
tee that waited upon him to urge ac-
ton that the mere recognition of bell
Egerency would be of little benefit. and
that armed intervention only could put
an end to the state OF affairs now ex-
listing in the island. He told the COM
mittee that congress had the power to
apply that remedy, and asked the
members if they were willing to as
sumo the responsibility. OF course,
they were not willing. AS the presi-
dent cannot, and congress will not, au-
thorize armed intervention and war
with Spain, there is little prospect of
immediate relief for Cuba

KING COTTON.
A Reduction This Year of Two Mill
lion Bales,

lion Bales.
Although the people of this state are
not deeply interested in the matter Of
raising cotton, still the following,
which has been sent along the line of
the Union Pacific may be of interest.
It appears that the recent conven-
tom of cotton growers, which held a
session in the city of Memphis, agreed
to reduce the number of bales this year
from 5000, 900 to 100000 This action
was taken in order to increase the
price of cotton. 1t was believed by the
cotton planters that the production was
too great last year, hence it was de-
termined to cut it down.
One George De Vany, Cincinnati
man, is advising the production Of all
the cotton which can be raised and in
order to promote the industry is send
ing out advertising matter all over the
country, offering to take the entire
crop for 1896 and pay 10 cents per
pound for good, middling cotton. AS an
evidence Of good faith he has deposited
some hundreds of thousands of dollars
in a bank at Cincinnati and announces
that the war is on.
He calls attention to the fact that

Resolutions Adopted BY Teachers of
Cache County.
PARADISE, June 6-The following
resolutions have been adopted by the
teachers of Cache county:
Whereas, It has been customary
since the division on party lines in
Utah for each party to nominate and
sustain candidates for school offices.
and
Whereas, The election of partisan
school officers in our opinion is detri-
mental to the educational interests of
the state, in SO much as it places the
control of the schools in the hands
Of one or the other of the political
parties, thereby having a tendency to
make a. position in our educational in
stitutions a reward for party effort,
and
Whereas, The election and appoint
ment of school officers on party lines
diminishes the amount of available
material for educational positions,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the best interests
Of the people of Utah, educationally.
will be better subserved by making
the election and appointment of all
school officers without reference to
their political faith or party affilia-
tons.
The above resolutions were present
ed to the Democratic county conven-
ton, held at Logan, June l, 1896. and
unanimously adopted by them, after
which the following resolution was
adopted by the same body:
Whereas. The above resolutions
having been unanimously adopted by
this convention, be it
Resolved, That the precinct organ
lzat1ons be instructed to confer with
the other political parties of their re-
spective precincts. and take such ac-
ton as shall bring about harmony in
the election of the school officers of
their respective districts.

Themselves From Ruin.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE World
this morning says:
The six leading manufacturers of
fireworks in the United States are
planning a trust to save themselves
from ruin. they say, because prices
have gone below cost.
Three of these are in this city, the
Consolidated, Pain and Detwiner &
Street. The others are the Rochester
Fireworks company, the st. Louis
Fireworks company and the Due com
pany of Cincinnati.
Great secrecy is observed concerning
the combination. The. secretary of one
of the interested corporations said yes
teTday:
THE negotiat tons so far have been
entirely of an informal nature be-
tween the presidents. Even I have
not been let in. But we all know that
some sort of an agreement must be
reached. The principal question is
whether an incorporated company
should be formed or the companies
retain their individual existence and be
bound by an agreement concerning
prices"
