UTAH INITIATED
Into Statehood With Boom of Cannon
and a Grand Hurrah.

and Grand Hurrah.
The people of the new state of Utah
observed January 9th as a triumphal
holiday in celebration Of the entrance
of the territory upon its career as the
forty-ffth sovereign state of the I'm
ion Salt Lake city, the capital, was
literally covered in bunting and decor
atoms of great variety and beauty.
The day opened with the booming
Of cannon and ringing of bells. This
was followed by an immense street pa
rade of soldiers of the Sixteenth
United States infantry, state militia,
police, state and civic officials, frater-
nal societies, local organizations of va
rious kinds and citizens. The streets
we're thronged with visitors from all
parts of the state and the procession
terminated at the great Mormon tab
ernacle where the exercises were held.
Acting Governor Richardson, in the
absence of Governor West, shortly af-
ternoon, called the assemblage to or
der, and presided during the exercises,
and at the right point surrendered
the Office to the new governor, Huber
M. Wells. Willford Woodruff, presi-
dent and head of the Mormon church,
led in prayer, after which the oath Of
Office was administered to the new
state officers, by Chief Justice Zane.
Governor Wells in assuming office,
delivered an inaugural address, in
which he congratulated the people of
Utah on the auspicious occasion which
had called them together, and express
ed the opinion that the United States
was to be congratulated as well as the
state Of Utah.
In the evening the city was illumi-
mated and a grand ball, attended by
the retired and new state officers and
the elite of the state, brought the pro-
ceedings to a close. The legislature
met and organized.

McKINLEY's MESSAGE.
He Recommends Additional Taxation
and Denounces Lynching.

and Denounces Lynching
In his message to the general assem-
bly, Of Ohio, Governor Mckinley calls
attention to the fact that the revenues
of the state are not equal to the states
expenses and recommends that new
and proper objects of taxation, of
which there are many, be made to
bear their just proportion of the bur
den. He recommends that the legis-
lature refrain from increasing local in
debtedness, liberal treatment of the
state university, reduction of the vol
ume of printed state reports, and de-
clares that there is abundant evidence
that the people of the state prefer
biennial sessions to annual sessions Of
the general assembly.
He urges that the state militia be
literally cared for, and in this connec-
ton recites the work of the soldiers in
REFRESHING the mob spirit during the
last year. He closes this part of his
message with these words: 81 urge
upon the general assembly to use all
the power at its command to frown
upon and stamp out this spirit of law
lessVess, which is a reproach upon the
Efat and shocking to our civilization.
Lynching must not be tolerated in
Ohio" The greater part of the mes
sage is made up of reviews of the work
l0f the state institutions.

THE SENATE.

All signs pointed to very stormy
session of the senate Tuesday. Mr..
Vest was down for a speech and there
was a prospect of very lively Skin
mish over the bond question and the
report of the finance committee Mr..
Jones, democrat, Arkansas, reported
from the finance committee the free
silver substitute Tor the house bond
bill and gave notice that he would call
it up Wednesday and ask the senate to
consider it. Mr.. Morrill,, republican,
Vermont, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, notified the senate that the
substitute was opposed by every re-
publican member of the committee.
The bill went on the calendar. Mr.
.Elkins, republican, West Virginia, Of
fered a resolution which was referred
to the finance committee, providing
that hereafter any contemplated issue
of bonds should be first advertised for
at least twenty days, and that such
bonds shall be sold to the highest bid
der.
At 2 O'Clock Mr.. Vest took the floor
to discuss the resolution introduced
by Mr.. Sherman several days ago. He
said that the last congress passed a bill
which carried ample revenue for the
government and a small surplus be-
sides. The supreme court had strip
ped the measure of 500, 900, 600 Of rev.
enue by decision which was sur
prise to nearly every intelligent law
yer on the floor. While discussing

BY q previous arrangement that tho ar

by q previous arrangement that tho ar
tilery should advance with the Infantry"
&c. III. ass.
And General Longstreet quotes a note
he wrote Colonel Alexander during tho
engagement. In which he directs him ''to
advance such artillery as he could use in
aiding the attack"
General Longstreet says. In his official
report Of the battle already. referred 20.
OF tho commencement of Pickett's charge:
II found then that our supply OF ammu-
milton was so short that tho batteries
could not reopen" ID. y. 800.
Here, then, is the explanation why the
artillery was not advanced with the IN
fantry. 1t had fired away all its ammuni-
ton. and Il had none with which to sup
port the attack. But that is no excuse
TO General Longstreet. His orders were
TO keep I'D the fire OF the artillery while
the charge was in progress, and &c ad-
vance It along with the infantry. he
should have seen TO 1t that 10 reserved
enough ammunition for tho assault. If the
ammunition-wagons were not near enough
for new supply.
But he not only did not obey General
Lees order, but he did not inform him
that the order would not be carried out
as given. General Leo says In his Of
fetal report:
"His" (the enemys) batteries reopened
as soon as they" Picketts and Heths m
fantry) appeared. Our own, having
nearly exhausted their ammunition In the
protraoted cannonade that preceded mo
advance OF the infantry. were unable 10
renlv or render the necessary support 70
the attacking party. Owing TO his fact
which was unknown TO me when the as
sault took place" &c, &c. ID. 81.
General Longstreet not only failed,
then. 10 carry out General Lees orders,
bu, he failed also 10 communicate to him
knowledge Of tho fact that the artillery
vo,ld not advance,with the infantry, and
ho therefore left General Lee apparent
" sanctioning an infantry charge without
artillery. when he had proposed one with
artillery. and he would probably never
have permitted Picketts charge to be
made ~ he had known that 1t was going
% ba made without the artillery support.
From what we now know of the batue'
Il is perfectly plain that IL the hre OF
,so euns had been kept up during the
charge as General Lee anticipated,
Meade's army would have been cut in two
and routed.

many millions Of workingmen In America.
II II we're sincere. It would be burdening
many millions OF worhngmen for the
benefit OF few thousand workingmen.
The real purpose OF the tax was to enrich
sugar barons at the expense OF poor peo-
pie.
The Tribune Is very emphatic In saying
that the Protectionlsts' policy does not
state that It thinks It can tax the coun-
try rich" But IL that IS not the Pro-
tectionsts' plea we have utterly faiied
TO understand his arguments. The ar
gument that he has steadily put forward
from the time the subject came under con-
sideraton is that a duty put so high as 10
exclude foreign goods will secure TO Amer
lean manufacturers the production OF
everything consumed in the United States,
and though that will allow the American
manufacturers TO charge American con-
sumers far more for what they use than
they would have 10 pay If there were no
duties. still compensation to those con-
sumers arises out OF the fact that Ameri-
can workingmen get steady employment
at good wages. and all that share in the
benefits of what Is unjustly imposed on
the consumers get rich, and this Increases
the general wealth OF the country in a
way that is far better for all. We insist
that we have here stated the Protection
ists' argument fairly. and II It does not
mean taxing the country rich, then We
fail to comprehend It.
