TIE STATE SCHOOL CENSUS.

The state superintendent of schools,
Dr. John R. Park, has completed the
school census, and the figures are very
interesting. The total number of chill
dren OF school age in the state is 1852,
a gain over last year Of 2,4S9 The
sexes are very evenly divided, there
being but 454 more boys than girls of
school age. The school population of
Salt Lake City is 1857, a very large
one considering the population of the
city In the leading cities and towns
of the state the school population is
relatively large.
And how is the state taking care Of
its school children? It can be answered
that it is doing very well by them. The
land grants made by the general gov
eminent to the state upon its admis-
sion were very generous, and it has
been the policy of the state to deal
with the schools in a like manner
While the people of the state have al
ways been friendly to education, the
conditions attendant upon pioneer life
have been such that it has not been
practicable to bring the states educa-
tional facilities UP to the standard that
is found in many states. Throughout
the state in the past there has been a
decided lack Of proper school buildings,
but this defect is gradually being remi-
edied
This city is the educational center of
the state, and probably always viii be,
yet only last week its citizens witnessed
an attack upon its truly magnificent
school system. This city has a school
population that would make a very
good-sized city, and yet there are those
here who would deprive our 1857 chill
dren of school age of high school ben
efits and privileges. 1t is doubtful if
there is a city in any state in the Union
that has a population equal to our
school population that hasn't a high
school
The size OF the school population of
the state shows how important educa-
tfonal matters are to all the people.

A SOUTHERN GOVERNORS MES
SAGE.

In his message to the legislature of
Virginia, Governor O'Ferran touched
on two or three very vital topics,
among them being lynching and the
prostitution of the ballot.
The former he condemns in strong
terms 1t appears that of sixty-four
men who have been lynched in Vir-
ginia during the past eighteen years,
only fifteen were charged with assault
and only eleven with having attempted
it. These figures refute the common
plea in mitigation of lynchings in the
south, that they only occur when an
assault is made on women, at least
they refute it so far as Virginia is
concerned; and it may be said that
what is true of Virginia is probably
true of her sister states Of the south.
To prevent mob law he renews his
recommendation that an act be passed
requiring every city and county to pay
into the treasury of the state, for the
benefit Of the achool fund, the sum of
$500 for each thousand of its popuIa-
ton, not exceeding $4,000, for every
lynching which may occur within its
limits; that the expense of the mill

AN ARKANSAS STREET DUEL.

In an Arkansas town the other day
there was one of those street duels''
that not infrequently occur in the
south. This duel resulted in the death
of one man, a leading physician of the
town, and the fatal wounding of his
brother. The killing was done by one
of the wealthiest men in the place, a
man who is noted for his fearlessness."
1t is stated that the tragedy was the
elimination of a feud of long standing,
and that owing to the prominence of
the parties it is expected the feud will
be continued by some of their numer-
Gus friends
This expectation will probably be re-
allied, for a southern feud is, to borrow
a phrase from Mr.. Cleveland, an end
less chain. Those who engaged in it
seem to think that they owe a personal
fealty to their friend or relative, who
has either killed some enemy or been
killed by him. And the youths belong
ing to either faction have a deadly ha-
tired of each other instilled into their
minds. Personally, they have no griev-
ance, but they make the cause of the
clan their own individual cause. 1t is a
senseless thing to do, but to do sense
less things is the nature of those who
engage in feuds. 1t is seldom that the
feud extends beyond few families,
though it occasionally does by mar
riage. Perhaps the most famous feud
of recent times possibly of all time,
was the Hatf1eld-McCoy feud in Ken
lucky. 1t finally developed to such an
extent and lasted so long that it al
most became an institution. This
threatened Arkansas feud cannot be
come so famous as that, though if all
those bearing the name of the victims
of the wealthiest man of the town
where the killing occurred should take
it up, it would become Union-wide, for
their names were Smith.
But why should these southern braWls
be called street duels? They are moth
ing but assaults with deadly weapons,
each party taking whatever advantage
he can. Do those who engage in them,
and their friends, think that by calling
them street duels'' people will be de-
ceived into thinking them anything at
all like the old Fashioned duel with it's
punctilious code? They deceive them
selves if they so. Street duels and
feuds are relics of barbarism.

tary, if called out by the sheriff Of any
county or the mayor of any city, to
protect a person threatened with vio-
lence, shall be refunded to the state
by the said county or city; that any
officer OF the law having a prisoner in
his custody who shall permit such
person to be taken from him, without
exerting all means in his power to pre-
vent it, shall be summarily suspended
from office by the court in which he
qualified until motion to remove him
shah be heard and determined By q
jury. The recommendation is very
good, but it is not likely that it VIII
be acted upon.
All that was good and proper, but
what Governor O'FerraI had to say
about the ballot is q matter that in
terests every state in the Union be-
cause of the problems each has in this
particular regard. What the Virginia
election law is we do not know, but it
must be very detective, if not posi-
lively bad, from what the governor
says about it. He says it is an i'm
provement over the one it superseded,
but that it practically disfranchises
many, at the same time giving oppor-
tunity for corruption and dishonesty.
He very truthfully says:
No state, if she values her fair name,
can afford to carry on her statute
books an elective system which has not
the general endorsement of her most
reputable citizens. No state can af-
ford to retain election methods which,
in the opinion Of many Of her pest
citizens, lead to fraudulent practices
and untrue returns. No state can af-
ford to allow doubts to be cast by her
own people upon the purity of her bal
lot boxes. If she believes there is even
4 semblance of reasonable ground for
the charge that the system is being
converted into an engine to register
the viii of certain election officials or
a political party, the sooner she moves
the ground for the better for her, NOR
ally, socially and commercially. She
should plant herself on the impregna-
bic rock of virtue, and be free from
suspicion.
There is not an honest, country
loving citizen in the land but will give
adhesion to these views. Any election
law that is calculated to give one
party an advantage over another or
that can be perverted to register the
will and wishes of election officials, is
inherently bad and should be wiped off
the statute book, for it is a menace to
free government.

Only a few days ago the country
was surprised, if not startled, when it
was announced that a millionaire
whose name, or rather that of his
father, had been famous in financial
circles a quarter of a century ago. but
had become clouded by the failure of
his house, was paying off every cent
of the Indebtedness and with per cent
interest Now comes the news that
Judge Henry Hilton of New York, who
announced a year ago that he would
pay in full all undisDuted claims
against the collapsed dry goods firm
of Hilton, Hughes & Co., has practic-
ally fulfilled his promise. The firm as
signed in 1886 with liabilities of 50, 200,-
600 and assets of 80 per cent of that
amount. There was owing to the
banks in the neighborhood of 81 900, 600
at the time of the failure This whole
sum has been paid and almost so per
cent of the $500 small claims. The sole
partner in the firm of Hilton, Hughes
& Co. was A B. Hilton, son of the
judge, and no liability whatever at
tached to Judge Hilton, but he has
made the settlements of the Old ac-
counts for personal reasons.
Such examples as these Of Emo and
Hilton make people think better of the
world. They show a high sense OF
honor and they teach people not to lose
faith in men. They are splendid ex-
