Congressman Benton NcMillin tells a
story which illustrates he says, the di-
lemma in which the Republicans of the
senate find themselves with the tariff bill.
Some years ago a man brought a dog
to the railway station in a Tennessee
town to be shipped by express. The dog
was confined in crate. In little while
the animal broke out of his surroundings
and for several days wandered around
the station, getting in everybodys way,
kicked and cuffed by everybody, and max
ing himself a general nuisance. After a
few days an old colored man, who did
odd jobs around the station, grabbed the
dog by the scruff of the neck, and drag
ged him, whining and unwillingly, across
the platform to the Office of the express
agent.
:, . '1Iistah,' said he, I want to 'spress
dis dog
g You want to express the dog, do
you? asked the agent, Selling his book
OF blank receipts, and preparing to write
down the point of destination
OATS what / wantn exclaimed the
darky, still holding fast to the animal
" Where do you want to send him?
1.-The darl1y scratched his head. Well,
mistah,' he said, I'm a poor ignorant
niger, and don't know; the dogs done
ct his tag, and he don't know, and nobody
knows
And that" continued the genial Ten
nessean, lis about the situation in the
senate. so far as the tariff bill is con-
ceraed. The Republicans don't know
what they Will do with the bill; the Demo-
Gratis don't know, nor does any one else.''

NERVOUS PRosTRAT1oN.

Just now Chicago is suffering from
nervous prostration. The cause is the
sudden discovery of how utterly de-
fenseless she is in case of war with
England. She has been in this con-
ditton all the while, but ignorant of
the fact, so her ignorance was bliss.
Her terribly defenseless condition has
Just been made known to her through
a paper read by lieutenant of ord
nance. The comet humping into the
earth is nothing in comparison as to
what would happen in Chicago were a
war with England to come. Lieuten-
ant Thompson tells the people of the
Windy City that England has hun
bred men-of-war that could pass
through the Welland canal. Then fol-
lows the statement that a gunboat or
two in Lake Michigan could stand off
the city, "send few shells into the
waterworks and paralyze the water
system, and could then, with their ex-
plosive projectiles, set the city on fire.,
The picture is worthy of an illustrated
magazine article. The denouement in
this case, as in all other of its kind, is
that an appropriation Of so many mil
lions would save Chicago from such a
horrible fate. The same sort of an
agonizing picture can be drawn of
dozens and dozens of cities, and there
is the same patent medicine remedy
for them all.
For the past few months the Ameri-
can nation, perhaps the most powerful
and resourceful of all the nations, has
been in a state bordering on hysteria.
Every idle rumor makes the people
almost as nervous as the school chill
dren are over the silly talk about the
comet coming in contact with the
earth. And with about as much cause.
The country is stronger ana better
able to defend itself today than it ever

not temporary circumstances. The peo-
pie of Salt Lake should be given to
understand that their city government

make it; and that they can have it as
good as they desire it. by selecting the
best men to manage its affairs. But
meantime the state legislature has no
business TO violate the doctrine of To-
cal self government or the principles
that should govern them in the enact
ment of legislation.
Since the above was written we
learn that the house of representatives
has rejected by vote of twenty to
sixteen the proposition to place the
appointing power in the hands of the
governor in the case of the fire and
police commissioners bill 1t is not
necessary to say that we think the
house in that action did right It ought
to be and we think will be a final set
Element of the question. It's absurdity
from the beginning ought to have
doomed it to the fate which at last
it met. Salt Lake City is capable of
and though we may
be in a little trouble just now in our
affairs, never let it go out
that Salt Lake people cannot settle
them, and settle them right, and that,
too, without going back on the prin-
ciple of home rule and the principles
that should govern legislation.

"FACTORY PAY"


Senator Elmer B. Jones of Salt Lake
county would compel all employers to
pay all employees in cash. "coin of the
realm" to use his own phrase. In the
course of his argument he took occa-
sion TO refer to the wooden mills at
Provo, telling how the employees there
were paid in cloth, how they had to
dispose of it as they could, and how
they were undersold by the factory in
the matter. The Provo Enquirer takes
Mr.. Jones to task for his remarks,
using the following not over compli-
mentary language:
Newcomers do not understand the
condition of the people, and very often
the former, when here only a short
time, are promoted to public office, and
then they seek to force upon the people
policies not compatible with their po-
sftion. One of these newcomers, Sena-
tor Elmer B. Jones' introduced in the
senate short time ago a bill provid-
ing that employees in mines, shelters
and mills must be paid in cash. Yes
terday a motion was made to strike out
the enacting clause Of the measure,
and Mr.. Jones proceeded to defend the
bill with more vigor than good judg-
he deliberately lied about the Provo
wooden mills. He said that here every
other man one met wanted to trade a
stranger cloth for "a pair of trousers;
that all employees of the wooden mills
were paid only cloth for their labors,
and when they peddled it, and the
mills found out a place where the en-
ployees We're selling, the mills under
bid them.
Elmer B. Jones is we'll known in
Provo, and he is fast making himself
known in Salt Lake. We do not care
to answer at length, in a community
where the man and his misstatements
are known, such silly references as the
above mentioned We simply desire TO
say that a period of cash payments
was 1naugurated when a few ten-cent
capitalists from Kansas came here and
began boom. 1t went on for a year
or so, and the stockholders concluded
to close the mills under such procedure,
because it was improbable. The facts
were presented to the employees, and
rather than be without employment,
they began work under the old plan
for produce. Mr.. Jones' remarks, under
the circumstances, are therefore I'M
warranted, and the bill ought to be
killed, for it is not adapted to Utah
conditions.
The Enquirer's description of how
the early pioneers worked and got
along, is very just 1t says that in
most cases they came here without
capital, and by indomitable pluck pro-
ceeded to create wealth from the
rugged but God-favored surroundings;
that the people bartered among them
selves, and in the absence of money
many local business pursuits were
made profitable. That is all true. It
is also a perfect description of the
home industry of the people of Utah.
Yet Mr.. Jones sees in this a wrong.
He forgets that it was a necessity, and
still is in many portions of the state,
not a choice. 1t is very remote from
the doctrine and practice of protection.
Taking factory pay is acting on the
old adage, When you can't get what
you like, like what you have got"

FOR Los ANGELES AND DEEP
CREEK.


On Saturday last we called attention
to the proposition that a number Of
business men of this city and St Louis
capitalists made in relation to con-
structing two lines of railroad in the
state, with terminals in Salt Lake City
one to the Deep Creek country and
one connecting our city with Los An
geles. The proposition was made by
gentlemen whose financial standing
| and enterprise gave warrant Of ability
to accomplish what they proposed to
do-construct these roads. They ex
planned their plans to the leading bust
ness men of this city, men capable of
understanding the matter thoroughly,
and their enthusiasm in the plans
proposed was unmistakable. The gen.
tlemen at the head of the undertaking
appealed to Salt Lake City and to her
business men in order to secure con-
cessions from the city for the terminal
privileges, and to her capitalists to
subscribe stock and thus aid the good
work. In word this company very
naturally wanted the moral and finlan-
cial support of Salt Lakers and the
people of Utah; it ought to be given
to them most heartily, and we are of
opinion 1t will be; for the people of this
state and city are not so blind but
what they can see the things that so
nearly concern their financial welfare.
In that meeting referred to q motion
was made and carried with applause
to grant to this company of gentle
IT., l.,
Pioneer Square" for terminal pur-
poses; and last night through its ac-
credited officers application to the city
council was made for the square. The
matter was discussed at some length,
and favorably, but owing to the reluc-
lance of three of the councilmen to
act so soon, the matter was laid over
to come up for a special hearing to-
night.
The resolution pending in the city
council granting the square viii be
found in full in our local columns this
morning. The principal condition to
be complied with on the part of the
company is 'fthe construction and op-
Grafton of at least one hundred miles
of railroad within this state, on either
or both of said lines, within two years
from the date hereof, and the running
of trains over said road into and upon
said square We hope at the meeting to
night that all the members of the coun-
ell will see the immense value of these
roads to Salt Lake and Btah, and vote
unanimously for granting the square
to the company upon the conditions
named. There can be no doubt but the
company is in earnest, and the charac-
ter and standing Of the chief gentlemen
in the enterprise are a guarantee that
the contract they enter into with the
city will be fulfilled. Let there be no
delay; let the grant Of Pioneer Square
be made tonight; it could not serve d
better purpose than by contributing to
the advancement of Salt Lakes inter
ests and development.

OBJECTS TO THE GOLDEN RULE.

1t is said that during recent execu-
tive session of the United States senate a
minor appointment was up for confirma-
ton, and some objection thereto having
been urged, the senator who represented
the appointee pleaded for fair play and
generosity, says the New York Tribune.
'In confirmation of minor appointments
like this one he said, Il think the SEN
ators should apply the golden rule"
Senator Stewart had not been paying
very close attention to the debate, but
at these words he pricked up his ears and
lifted up his voice. 'Mr. President" he
exclaimed, IT don't know what this gold
rule is, but I object to 1t. The money
power has run this country long enough.
Ever since the crime of '73 was com
mftted-" but here some one interiected
an explanation, and amid laughter the
Nevada Statesman subsidized.

was, yet never before was it so swayed
by every idle rumor that is borne on
each Hstless wind. 1t is high time the
people began to take a second sober
thought of things as they are. The
country is not utterly defenseless, even
the sea coast cities, nor is any foreign
foe threatening us with invasion. If
this country ever undertakes to emu
late Europe in the matter of arma-
ment, the people may prepare them
selves for European laws and Euro
pean enforcement of them. 1t is time
they pondered this fact. Meanwhile
it is to be hoped the country will soon
recover from it's present threatened
nervous prostration.
