AFTER THE PARADE.

There seem to have been some little
jealousies, some i'll feelings aroused as
the result of the position assigned IL
linois in the Grant memorial parade.
Governor Tanner. who went to New
York with his staff, is feeling pretty
sore over matters, and is taking no
pains to conceal his feelings. On his
arrival back in Chicago he was asked
if the story was true that the arrange
ment committee had sighted Illinois
as to a position in the parade, and
failed to provide him and his staff with
carriages and horses. To this the gov
ernor replied that they had had no
trouble while in New York, that is,
not to worry them very much: and
then he launched out in this style:
while, of course. the committees
saw fit to slight Illinois as to a posi-
ton in the parade, we are not making
much of a fuss. You know it may
have been a mistake. OF course, that
is very plausible, as the New Workers,
1 suppose, do not know that Grant
came from Illinois. Illinois, the home
of Lincoln and Grant, was given the
last position in the parade. But the
people were with us. 1 was proud and
glad that 1 came from Illinois, even
though we were last in the line. AS
the men of Illinois passed the great
crowds they were cheered and cheered.
There was no way the committees
could stop their shouts of applause. 1
wonder if they tried? 1t was not a
matter of personal pride on my part
or of any member of my staff that we
felt indignant because we were last in
the line of march. Ii seems to me rea-
sonable and would have been good
policy if Illinois had been placed at the
head of the line or at least in a bet
ter position. They did not act right,
that is all there is to it. Even though
we had no carriages to meet us at the
depot the people of this state were
able and willing TO take care of them
selves. I am surprised at the little di-
piomacy shown by the residents of
New York. They did not gain any
thing by it. New York is said to be
jealous of Chicago and well she may
be- New York does not compare with
this city, and as for good, loyal, gen

TARIFF IN THE SENATE.


The Dfngley bill has been modified
very materially in the senate finance
committee, and it is quite likely the
amendments viii be accepted by the
house. If they are not, the bill may
fail of passage. The most important
amendment. so far as known, is that
providing for an additional tax of so
cents on beer, the present tax being 81
barrel 1t is calculated that this tax
alone viii provide additional revenue
10 the amount of s17 600, 900 annually,
and without q. single dollar of extra
expense FOR collection. This amend
ment, If it is agreed to by the house,
will be great triumph for the advo-
Gates of the internal revenue system of
taxation as the proper means for pro-
viding the government with revenue.
Chairman Dingley never intended to
resort tc it to raise revenue, though it
was obviouslv the readiest way for
raising it. A very important thing in
this connection is the fact that the beer
tax amendment was made by the Re
publican members of the finance COM
mittee. the bill not having been sub
mitted to the Democratic members of
it.
When the bill gets before the senate
it NAV be still further amended. At
any rate, it will be discussed at length,
whatever else may be done with it. If
when it goes back to the house it shall
have been so amended that it will ap-
parently furnish adequate revenue, and
two or three more amendments along
the same lines as this one providing for
an additional tax on beer will make
this apparent, the people will then de-
mand that there be as little delay as
possible in passing it. If it will provide
an adequate revenue the people will
consent TO swallow a large protection
pill along with it.
As to the question of delay, there
really has been none. On the contrary,
there has been great expedition; in
fact, it might be said there has been
undue haste. 1t is only a month and
a half since congress was called in
extra session. If the tariff bill can be
placed upon the statute book inside an
other month. there will be no founda-
ton for the charge of delay. If the
house should get into an ugly mood
when the bill reaches it again there
might be DELAY. This is hardly prob
able

OFFICIAL PRAYERS.

The public has become used to the
ofhcial prayers delivered I'D in con-
gress, and these prayers, at times. are
looked upon as being made to congress
rather than for congress, while the
chaplains who deliver them are given a.
gentle chatting occasionally. But uoyV
comes 2 correspondent who writes TO
the New York Evening Post criticising
Rev. Dr. Newman for his prayer on the
occasion of the dedication of the Grant
monument
After quoting some remarks of an
other New York paper that Bishop
Newman set the example of shorten
ing the exercises at the tomb; he de-
livered only few sentences of the long
prayer attributed to him in newspapers
printed before the ceremonies began and
the prayer did not occupy two minutes.
including the repetition of the Lord s
prayer ETC.. ETC., this correspondent
says:
The printed prayer, it seems, was de-
livered TO the Associated Press before
IT was delivered to the Almighty. This
is another instance of the power of the
press over the clergy, which jars upon
the religious feelings of some of our
1ellow-citizens, even though not ortho-
dox in their theology. Surely the
bishop. if he printed any prayer before
delivery, should have selected one from
an accredited ritual or rubric. The
prayer he printed he composed, and
thought he should deliver, but yester-
day the effect of the strong westerly
wind and low temperature tempered
the bishops actual utterances in the
presence Of the people and the AL
mighty.
Is this not worthy of comment? Is
it net worth while for our official clergy
to establish a public code of prayers, or
better TO pray from the heart in few
and simple words. as the good clerical
was obliged to from force of natural
causes?'
There is much justice in the criticism
here offered. not because the prayer
was composed and written before be-
ing delivered: not because it was de-
livered to the Associated Press before
it was delivered to the Almighty, but
because it was not delivered in full by
the bishop on the occasion for which it
was written. 1t lays him open to the
charge of praying for effect on the null
titude instead of praying TO God from
his heart. Prayer comes from the heart
whatever its form, and the longer and
the mora devoutly the inward eye
dwells upon it, the holier it will be. To
pray rhetorically and for effect upon tie
multitude is not to pray fervently and
from the heart Official prayers are
very apt to be of the rhetorical order
One cannot but wonder what is the
efficacy of a prayer that was not de-
livered in full to the Lord, but was
given in full to the Associated Press. 1t
showed scant courtesy, to say the

THE CASE OF NEVADA.

The smallness of Nevada's population
which. if not decreasing, does nothing
more than remain stationary, has been
a subject of much comment this spring.
About the only remedy suggested for
the present state of affairs is the re-
ducing of the state to a territorial con-
dition, or the states division between
her eastern and western neighbors. A
moments reflection cannot fail to
show how impracticable both these
remedies are. They are impracticable
! because the constitution of the United
States makes provision for no such a
contingency as is here suggested
Everyone recognizes that what the
state needs is people. Are the resources
of the state, outside of its minerals,
such as to induce people to emigrate
to it? That is the question. The great
natural desideratum is water With
that supplied. people would readily en-
igrate TO Nevada. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that artesian wells would do
much to supply this defect; but arte-
sian wells are very expensive things.
The state never had any very con-
siderable agricultural population, and
after all agriculture is the basis of a
prosperous state. Nor was the state
always wise in it's treatment of those
who sought to make homes in it. In
the palmy days of Phoebe, some twenty
five years ago, quite a colony from
Utah tried to establish itself along
the Muddy and vicinity, but the rascally
thieves known there as assessors and
collectors of taxes made it impossible
for them to live in the state, so the
colony simply abandoned the lands
they had been trying to redeem. No
one would attempt to saddle the blame
for the rascalities practiced by the
Lincoln county officials in those days
upon any of the present officials of the
state. But they gave the state black
eye from which it has never recovered
so far as the people of Utah are con-
cerned.
The states reputation for lack of in
ducements to home-seekers is proba-
bly, worse than the facts warrant.
Could a railroad be built through the
state from north to south it would aid
very much in solving what is conceded
by all to be a rather serious problem
for Nevada

LOCAL STUDIES FOR SCHOOLS.

The question of adopting school books
for the state Will soon be up. The fol-
lowing suggestion is thrown out for the
consideration of the convention that
will have the matter in charge. A little
book or pamphlet has been prepared
for use in the Brcokiine. Mass, schools,
in which a description is given of the
geography OF Brcokline as well as
something about the geology of the
neighboring country and the history Of
the place.
Here is an example that is worthy
the imitation of other towns through
out the country. 1t is good for Utah,
and we should be glad to see the plan
adopted in the different towns OF the
state. Where it would be impracticable
to get out a little book or pamphlet
such as Brookline has, it would be
perfectly practicable for the teachers to
prepare some special papers upon the
geography of the towns and the geology
of the surrounding country, and to also
have the history of the towns. There
isn't a town in the state whose history
will not interest the pupils OF the
schools of that town. Teach the chill
dren first the history Of the town they
line in: then of their state; then OF
their countr-. and then of the world.
Too often the reverse Of this is the
practice It would be a good idea for
the school board to. send for one of
these Brookline little books. The idea
behind it is a good one, no matter how
it may have been carried out

Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr-, who made
himself somewhat notorious during the
campaign of 1886 by his denunciation
of all those who differed from him on
the financial question, is attracting
some attention to himself by attacking
the administration for its Cuban policy.
He asserts that the administration is
seeking to favor commerce to the ex
cIusion of patriotism and that the
SPANISH consul in Florida rules the
state from one end to the other, and
that his agents are arresting whom
they please; all without warrant of
law. This, of course, is arrant nom
sense and probably no one knows it so
well as Mr.. Dixon. Substantially the
same charges that he makes against
the present administration were made
against the last one, and with about
the same foundation, which isn't any.
People do differ as to what the policy
of the government towards Cuba
should be, but the government has not
permitted and will not permit the
Spanish or any other consul to cause
the arrest of anyone without warrant
of law Mr.. Dixon's zeal for Cuba
probably isn't so great as his desire for
notoriety. He is simply talking
through his hat
