among those who haven't any Cap
ital is as necessary for the develop
ment of the resources of a state as
dependent and not hostile.
While all this is true, there is no de-
nying that capital has come tn have
an undue influence on legislation. And
this is true of capital invested in rail-
roads as in trusts Nothing could be
more unwise than for the legislature
to enact, under the power conferred by
the state constitution, such railroad
laws as were enacted in Wisconsin and
other states twenty years ago. The
Granger legislation OF 1.-TWO decades
ago was simply using the strength of
giant as a giant. While all that is
to be condemned, and there is no dan
ger of it in Utah at present at least,
still the railroad companies should not
be permitted to say what railroad leg
islation shall be, as the protected man
ufacturers are allowed to dictate the
tariff schedules. All railroad inter
ests are not all public interests, and
this fact should be borne in mind.
There has never been any hostility to
railroads in Utah legislatures and it is
to be hoped there never will be. They
have had no occasion to complain,
and they should be given none But
all railroad legislation should keep the
public interests in view, as we'll as
those of the railroads. If this be done,
justice will be done all around.

UTAH KINDERGARTEN Asso-
CATION.

The Utah kindergarten association
is one of those organizations that is
pursuing the even tenor of its way,
doing its good work quietly, as all
good work is done, feeling that it's re-
ward is great if it can but start the
little ones under its charge in the
right path. The association has fine
! schools, one of which is free, all OF
which are well patronized. Its teachers
ara accomplished and have the inter-
ests OF the little ones at heart The
methods of Froebel are adhered to, and
nothing IS attempted beyond purely
kindergarten work. but the aim is to
make that as thorough as possible.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the value of kindergarten work; that
it has its value there is no question
Often too much is expected of it, and
when these expectations are not met
there is disappointment. Had those
who experience this disappointment a
better appreciation of true kinder
garten work. they would not expect so
much and would suffer less or no dis
appointment. Then, again, so many
people want to send their children to
Kindergarten at an age when they
should be through with kindergarten
work and ready to go to the public
schools. We believe it is the opinion
of the best authorities on such work
that children should never be sent to
kindergarten after six years of age.
The work Of the Utah kindergarten
is conducted bv ladies. and they are
deserving Of all praise and encourage
ment for what they are doing. And
who so knows the nature of the little
child as a woman? It is natural that
children, in their tender years, should
have woman's care, whether at home
or in school. Success to the associa-
ton.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

It now seems very probable that a
committee to investigate the late SEN
atcrial contest win not be appointed,
the house resolution TO that effect hav-
ing been killed, although Senator Ride
outs resolution is to come up in the
senate tomorrow. 1t is hardly likely
that anything viii come of it. If moth
ing does come of it, then there should
not be anything to divert the atten-
ton Of the legislators from their regu-
lar work. There is much yet to be
done, but there is not very much time
in which to do it.
Perhaps one Of the most important
matters that can or VIII come before
the legislature is railroad legislation.
The development Of the state depends
in very large measure upon the build
ing and extension OF railroads, and
anything that will encourage them
should be done by the legislature il
ii can be done legitimately Railroad
corporations have their faults, and
some of them very grave ones, but it
IS a wrong to them and TO the state TO
invite and encourage them TO build
and then to treat them as though they
were subject for plumber. 1t has
come TO be a quite common practice
in many parts of the country to curse
railroads as common enemy. to be
plundered whenever occasion offers.
The reason for this is that railroads
represent great capital and the spirit
Of socialism that has spread over the
country in the past ten or fifteen years

SEEING THINGS AS THEY ARE.

/ 1t is beginning TO dawn upon some
of the strong gold standard papers Of
the east that Major McKinleys cleo
ton has not brought prosperity. The
threat of free silver as the cause of
bad times has been worked until it is
completely played out, and it no longer
serves to brighten the people in the
slightest degree. This is well, as it
allows the people to look at things as
they are and to see that that which
was alleged to have been the cause of
all their troubles was not the cause
of them.
One Of these gold standard papers
referred to above is the New York
Times. In a recent issue it said:
Good times have not yet come back.
The Republican party is doing its best
TO defer their coming by entering upon
a general revision of the tariff. the
most Upsetting and misunderstanding
ing occupation in which it could have
engaged. The fall elections viii give
the people an opportunity to pass
judgment upon this policy.
The Republicans boosted that they
We're the advance agents of prosperity.
They are going to set up as the contin-
uators of aoversity. The popular re
sentiment will be intensified by the
knowledge that the disturbing legis-
lation OF the extra session is largely
undertaken for the enrichment of IA
vored industries and monOpolistic con-
Germs by contributions extorted from
the consumers.
The McKinleyizing of the tariff at
this time is poor politics and poor pa
triotism.
It is matter of regret that the good
times have not come. but come they
have not. As yet, Presideut-elect Nc
Kinley cannot be held responsible for
good or bad times, as he has not been
indicted into Office, but the moment
he is. he VIII be held responsible for
any continuation of bad times. And
tariff tinkerng is one of the best guar
antees in the world for the Inaugural
ton or continuation of bad times. Nc
Kinleyizing the tariff is poor patriot
ism at any time.

The New York World calls Searles,
of the Sugar trust, a humorist. On
the witness stand it says he had a
deal of fun out of the exposure of him
self and his companions in stock water
ing, competition-thrott price Jug
Cling and general defiance of law and
public policy. OF course the Sugar
trust controlled the quantity, quality
and price of one of the necessaries of
life. OF course it robbed the people of
$25. 100000 il three years. OF course it
didn't care rap for any law or any
agent of the law that interfered with
it. But the real test of his genius as a
humorist is yet to come, says the
World. Sooner or later, but surely
some day, the laugh will be on the
other side of the mouth When the
people take their turn and begin to
have fun with Mr.. Searles and his fell
lows, viii Mr.. Searles still see the joke?
Will his eyes dance? VIII his sides
shake? When this day comes, when
every man is in his humor, Searles and
all the other trust magnates may find
that the humor of the people is the
grimest thing imaginable.

THE cRETAN RESURRECTION.

The peace of Europe really seems
threatened today because of the insur-
rectlon in Crete. The Cretans desire
to become Incorporated with Greece,
| and have so declared, that is. the
Christian portion of the population.
The population of the island is 2s4, 1872.
| about a fourth being Mohammedans
1t is quite certain that Turkey is
not going to permit the Cretans to
! have their way in this matter, if she
can prevent it. So far as the Cretans
themselves are concerned this is an
easy matter; real trouble would come
if Greece took uD the cause of the
Cretans. If this were done, it would
mean, in all probab ility, the beginning
of a war that would very soon involve
other nations besides Turkey and
Greece. This Europe does not want
cannot afford. King George being
closely related to the car by marriage
will probably be more amenable to
Russian influence than to any other
for he must recognize, as all the world
does, that Russian influence is more
potent in eastern Europe and in all
Things relating to the eastern question,
than any other. 1t is true that if the
Greeks took it into their heads to go
ahead and aid the Cretans they might
tell the Danish George what they told
the Bavarian Otto
At present matters in Crete and
Greece NAV be said to be in a del:-
cate situation. 1t would not take much
to kindle the fires of war. The powers
Will probably prevent this; but once
they are kindled, no one can say how

how fierce it viii be. In the mean
while the sultan sits contentedly in
his palace on the Bosphorus, feeling
that in the jealousies and rivalries of
the powers lies his safety. His reli-
ance is probably well placed, as he has
