A CORRECTION.
Thomas Is. Graves states the Facts In a
Case of Leasing.

Case of Leasing.
Thomas b. Graves called ait the
Standard office yesterday to refute a
statement given circulation in the
Butte Miner that the lease of the
Ground Squirrel had been taken away
from him and his fellow leasers while
they had SIS, 900 worth of ore in sight.
Mr.. Graves said: ION June IL last NJ.
J. Chamberlin, w. II. Pickering and
myself obtained the lease of the
Ground Squirrel to a depth of 125 feet
We stopped two weeks ago simply and
only because we had worked out the
ground on which We had a lease. AS a
matter of fact through the kindness of
Mr.. DAILY, who gave us the lease, we
were allowed to work 10 feet more of
ground than we had a lease on. Ev-
cry agreement made by Mr.. Daily was
more than fulfilled by him and we
have been treated right in every re-
spect. Another misstatement is that
Pat Boland is leasing the j. l. c., the
adjoining property. That property is
being worked by the Anaconda COM
pany and Mr.. Boland is foreman for
them"

We're fair and without any suspicion
of trickery.
But there is another charge which NJ
made directly against the members
of the caucus It is that of bad faith.
The charge implies that they were
pledged to some other candidate, and
broke their pledge. Is this so? It is
matter in which the public are inter
ested for these legislators are public
servants and the election of United
States senators an act of vital public
Importance. Legislators should keep
their pledges although they may have
been made in private, and those who
took part in the caucus that nominat-
ed Mr.. Brown should be held up to
no greater execration il they should
break the caucus pledge than for
breaking a private pledge, if they gave
any.
If that caucus was guilty of bad
faith, towards whom are the legislators
guilty? No doubt every candidate.
and perhaps some whose names have
been more or less connected with the
nominations for senators the past week
or two, had high hopes and great ex-
pectations, but high hopes and great
expectations are not pledges; neither
is a seeming encoura cement.
Assuming, for arguments sake,
that Mr.. Browns nomination was
procured by "a trick and bad faith"
was it amy more of trick and bad
faith than to get members-elect to the
to privately pledge them
selves to certain candidates before they
could possibly know who would and
who would not be candidates for sena-
tors? One thing is made plain: the
of the present system
Of making senatorial nominations.

mo MoRR PATERNAL1sM.,,

Under the above heading the Atlanta
Journal of the 18th instant has a very
timely and sensible article on the pro-
posed University of the United States.
1t is so timely and so Democratic that
we reproduce it entire:
The bill now before Congress for the
establishment of 1.-THE University of the
United States should be beaten so
badly that no other proposition of the
kind will be made for many years to
come.
The federal department of education
is all right. 1t collects and publishes
valuable statistics concerning the prog
ress of educational work in the United
States, and is an educational agency
which may be properly supported by
the general government But the pro-
posed national university is another
and very different thing. 1t is
scheme of a set of impractical men
who, in their zeal for education, lose
sight of the limitations Of'-the federal
government. We do not believe that
the cause of education would be pro-
NOTED by such an institution while its
establishment would carry the govern
ment still further along the path Of
paternalism and make the way easier
for still more Objectionable schemes.
The national university bill should
be killed. We trust and believe that
it will receive the support Of no Demo-
crat in Congress who has any stand
ing or influence
From the very foundation of the gov
eminent there has been a strong ten
dency on the part of the general gov
eminent to usurp the powers of the
states. And it has made very consid-
cradle progress in this direction, while
the tendency that way is stronger to-
day than ever before, so strong, in
fact, that from Capitalization it has
become almost sociaHstic. A common
school and high school system under
the direct control of the United States
would be equally as proper as a uni
versity of the United States. Educa-
ton is peculiarly function Of the in
dividual states.

SUGAR FACTORY DIVIDEND.

We are pleased to learn that the
Utah Sugar Factory company at their
meeting yesterday were able to declare
dividend to their stockholders of ten
per cent. This it is said, is the first
cash dividend declared by the com
pany, previous dividends having been
paid in stock If the sugar factory in
these trying times of financial hard
ship can live and declare a dividend it
is to be congratulated indeed. 1t Ger
tainly speaks well for the manage
ment, and we hope the present divi-
dend is only a prophecy of that per-
manent prosperity of an industry
which the resources of soil and eli
mate in Utah are so eminently fitted
to sustain, without the prop of govern
ment aid, and that needs only the pat
ronage of the people to make it sue
cessful.

MILEAGE AND PASSES.

That the acceptance of railroad
passes by public officials is an evil is
generally acknowledged. With rare
exceptions the men who seek public
office do so for the compensation there
is in it. If it is not sufficient for them
they should not seek the office, and
after having got it attempt to farm
it And that is what they do when
they accept transportation from rail-
road companies and mileage from the
state The mileage is given them to
cover their expenses of travel, and is
adequate for the purpose.
Two or three years ago the Massa-
chusetts legislature passed an act
making it an offense for any member
to accept a pass or for railroad
to tender one to a legislator. In the
present legislature there seems to be
some suspicion that the law is being
violated, so the other day the following
order was introduced in the Senate
and adopted without objection:
Ordered. that before the payroll for
travelling expenses of the members of
] the present leSlSIdI IS
certif1cation by the secretary of state,
the clerks of the two branches shall
obtain from each member of the senate
and house Of representatives, respec-
| lively, a certificate that such member
has not received, since his election as
a member of the present legislature,
any pass, mileage book or ticket en-
titling him to transportation upon any
railroad without paying for the same
the price that is demanded of the pub
lie generally.
The provisions of this order should
be enacted into law in Utah, with
further provisions that no public Of
fetal should accept of pass, mileage
book or ticket emitting him to trans
portation upon any railroad. If any
state Official incurs expense for rail-
road fares paid in discharge of his Of
fetal duties, the state reimburses him.
If he rides on passes, both the rail-
road and the state are out while he is
enriched the amount of the mileage
thus saved. AS a result of this the
state taxes have to be increased to
cover the cost Of mileage for public
officials, while the railroads have to
increase their passenger rates to the
travelling public that the cost of carry
ing passengers with passes may be
covered. The only person to benefit
by the system of passes is the public
official whose ample compensation is
fixed by law.
This is the pass system viewed
wholly from a business standpoint.
But there is another 1t is that of the
immortality of the thing. The accept
ance of a pass by a public official is
to a certain degree the acceptance of
a bribe. They are given because of the
office and not because of the indi-
vidual So soon as the individual
ceases to hold the office the passes
cease to come to him. Why2 Be
cause his power to work a railroad
good or evil has ceased. The whole
thing is wrong and should be put a
stop to. Let the people who pay when
they ride on railroads demand Of the
legislature the enactment of a law
that Will make it an offense, with ade-
quate punishment for any public Of
fetal to accept or solicit pass, or for |
a railroad to tender one.

MAKE THE SESSIONS PuBL1c.

The other day the Venezuelan bound
airy commission resumed its sitting in
the diplomatic room of the state de-
partment- The telegraph informs us
that when the meeting adjourned "the
following statement of the proceedings
was made public" then followed a
short statement of what the proceed
ings were.
From this it is to be inferred that
the sessions of the commission are to
be made secret and only such parts of
them are to be made public as the
commission shall deem advisable. If
the inference is correct and such is
the plan of the commission, it is all
wrong. All the deliberations of Con-
gress are public and its proceedings
are reported in full. Upon the find
ings of this commission may depend
the question of war or peace. How i'm
portant it is, then. that every step it
takes in coming to it's conclusions be
open and above suspicion. When
President Cleveland sent his message
on the Venezuelan boundary question
to Congress. the country and Congress
rallied to him as never before. There
was nothing hidden, nothing secret
about it, And now why cannot that
same country be trusted to know all
that transpiFes before that commits
sion? 1t is not diplomatic proceeding
it is engage in, so the usages of diplo-
macy cannot be urged as a justif1ca-
ton for what seems an almost star
chamber method of holding the ses-
sions. If the people are not permitted
to know all about what the commits
sion is doing and how it is doing it,
it will not have that public confidence
when it ceases its labors that it had
when it began them; nor will it's find
ings command that respect at home
and abroad they otherwise would It's
proceedings are very largely exparte
and for that very reason must be kept
far above the faint of suspicion, and
they will not be if the sessions are
not public. Make them public.

"A TRICK AND BAD FAITH"

As to the nomination of Arthur
Brown, it was unexpected and will
strike the people as something in the
nature Of a trick and bad faith Mr..
Brown deserves nothing from the Re
publican party.
Such IS the comment Of the Salt
Lake Tribune on the nomination Of
Mr.. Arthur Brown, by the Republican
legislative caucus. for United States
senator. These caucus nominations
make 1t certain who will be Utahs
senators, so that anything we may say
it viii be impossible for any one to
charge is for some concealed political
purpose.
That Mr.. Browns nomination was
not unexpected by his friends is cer-
tain; they have had no doubling since
it was definitely known that the leg
islature was Republican. How. then.
can his nomination be called trick? ~
It was a party caucus that nominated
him and the proceedings, to judge
from the accounts in the daily press.

The Omaha Bee apparently is of the
opinion that the Venezuelan boundary
commission may resolve itself into
junketing party, to judge by the fol-
lowing: 1T is scarcely to be believed
that the members of the commission,
with an appropriation of 100000 to
draw upon, will refrain from Selling
the opportunity and making an ex-
tended tour of Europe, if not also of
South America. for the purpose of Sc
curing the needed information. The
people are sure to be disappointed if
they look for the report of the COM
mission at any time inside of several
months to come
