FEW ARRESTS AT NIGHT.
Police Remark the Small Number of

Police Remark the Small Number of
People who Keep Late Hours.
The number of arrests by the police yes
terday and last night was unusually small.
It has been noticed by Chief McDermott
that few people have been seen on the
streets at night for the last two weeks.
While a majority Of people are asleep,
the chief is often riding through the city.
There is never much talk when one of
these trips is contemplated, for the rea
son it is not desired to destroy their good
results by making it generally known. A
survey Of the city can be made easily and
things going wrong are seen which would
escape the view of a policeman. Then,
too, it is not infrequent that the chief
rides out after night-fall to look up case
which he especially desires to run down.
The object of the night trips is not to
spot policemen, however, as the chief does
not consider that any of his men require
that sort of vigilance to make them dutifui
officers.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-02

that he had arrested the girl last Fri
day in colored dive on Commercial
street. ~
That such.a thing could be viii shock
the moral sense of the community. The
question with the citizens Is this: Why
is this colored dive on Commercial
street allowed to exist? It has been a
stencil in the nostrils of the people
for long time. A dive kept by a
negro where young white girls can go,
is the very worst sort of a dive. This
one on Commercial street should be
suppressed, and the keepers of it given
no license for opening any kind of
house-saloon, lodging or other.
Mayor Clark's attention is invited to
the case of the Blundell girl. and the
fact that she was arrested in this Com
mercial street dive in the hope that his
honor win take steps to have the place
closed. The reform school would seem
to be the proper place for the girl

DlNGLEYSM AND LEAD.

The Dingley tariff schedule was
framed in the interest of certain ia
vored classes. 1t is not an equitable
or an honest law.
In all Utah there was not silver
Republican who approved it or thought
it would benefit the country in general,
until the Mckinley Republicans, in the
state convention, crowded an endorse
ment of Dingleyism down the threats
of the few ex-silverites who then and
there renewed their fealty to the gold
party.
Reunited Republicans talk about an
imaginary reviving prosperity that fol-
lows Dingleyism, and they point to lead
as a beneficiary of this ideal Repub-
lican measure.
One year ago lead was quoted at $3.50
Yesterday lead was quoted at $3.50.
Z Since Republicans congratulate the
people of the state that lead has FALLEN
only 80 cents per hundred under the
Dingley tariff, it would be of interest
to know how much they feared. it
would drop after the law went into
effect.

SOME COUNTY RECORDS.

The. cowardiee and incompetence of
the last Republican county administra-
ton We're pretty evenly balanced.
In making the tax levy of 1886 the Re
publican commissioners failed to make
the levy high enough to pay the inter-
est on the county bonds.
This failure is an evidence of the lax
methods pursued by them in transact
ing public business. Although they
bonded the county for S35O0OO, they
made no provision to meet the interest.
Thus the Republicans were able to
keep the levy down by disregarding the
law, which requires the collection Of
an annual tax sufficient to pay the in
terest on such Indebtedness as it falls
due
On the 31st of December, 1896, inter-
est amounting to s7.29166 had accrued
on the bonded Indebtedness of the
county No provision had been made
to take care of this accommodating in
cebtedness when it fell due. Having
failed to comply with the law, Repub-
licans should have paid this interest,
at least, to the end of their administra-
tion, in some other way.
But the Democrats had to meet this
illegally contracted obligation, as well
as other debts Of the Republican adj
ministratlon. ana had to provide in the
levy of 1897 not only for the interest Of
that year, but for the interest of the
year before.
By their own admissions the Repub-
licans shirked their responsibilities in
1896, disregarded the law, allowed
debts to accumulate, and turned over
the evidence of their cowardice and
dishonor for the Democratic admins
tration to vrestle with.
Taxpayers who do not care to see
that disreputable record repeated will
elect the Democratic candidates for
county commissioners.
