GRATIFYING A GRUDGE.


Renewing its personal attack on
Francis Armstrong, county commits
sioner, the Tribune reiterates its dis
honest statement that the county COM
missioners had something to do with
the county assessment
B. B. Quinn is assessor, and, with
efficient deputies, has made a fair val
uation of property on a cash basis as
required by the law. Neither Mr.. Arm
strong nor any other commissioner
had anything to do with that assess
ment, and the Tribune knows it.
There are some facts of which the
Republican organ is aware but which
it fails to print. 1t knows that its
publishing plant and its owners per-
sonal property together We're reduced
over 40 per cent from the assessment
of 1897 This was done, too, in the face
of the owners admission that the plant
cost twice as much as it was assessed
for. Nobody has suggested in the
Tribune that Mr.. Armstrong is respon-
sible for this extraordinary reduction.
AS with nearly all the other assess
mentS, the owners statement of ac-
tual cash value was accepted.
Was that reduction dishonest? And
if it was. dare the Tribune suggest that
any Democratic official is responsible
for it?
The records show-and the Tribune
knows it-that the only action taken
by the commissioners in connection
with the city railway assessment was
as a board of equalization. In this ca
pacity they increased the assessor S
valuation by some $4,000. and this was
only done after hearing disinterested
testimony as to the value of the prop
erty. Mr.. Armstrong. very properly,
did not sit as a member of the board
of equalization when his personal in
terests were involved.

CHARACTERISTIC FRAILTIEs.

Tradition has it that southern Re
publicans are death on chickens. Their
Utah brethren are beset with the same
weaknesses. it seems.
And, while there may be some excuse
for relieving an owner Of his fowls, if
the foraging party is really hungry and
fond Of poultry, there is no excuse for
the Republican party of Utah breaking
into the chicken coop of Democracy for
the purpose of purloining its typal and
time-honored rooster.
Republicans do not like that chanti-
cleer whose clarion notes. have pro-
claimed victories for Democracy on a
hundred thousand hard-fought fields of
battle. But they want him as a trophy
of this campaign, having concluded, no
doubt, that they W. get no other
1t is virtually an admission on the
part of Republicans that they have
given up trying to beat any one else
on the Democratic ticket and are con-
centrating their efforts on the rooster.
1t may look like small business to
many, but it is Republican size.

THE CHANGE NEEDED.

1. n. Fisher promises to become ia
nous as the only original doodle au-
ditor this county ever had. 1t took an
of his beeks when he was in office. and
even then there remained more mys-
terry than the wonderful Wisconsin
doodle book ever did.
The report of the experts would have
convinced any intelligent man that
Fisher was never meant for an auditor,
but it failed to reach Fisher. He still
suffers from the delusion that he knows
something about county affairs. Just
how far he has missed his real calling
may be imagined from the apology for
him printed in the same column with
his own figures by the Tribune.
Regarding the discrepancies pointed
out above" says the joke editor of that
paper, I'VE believe the figures here
given to be as near accurate as pos
sible. but it is extremely difficult to get
them with exactness. Thus, the rate
applied to the valuation does not work
out the amount it should, and there
was nothing in the county's official
financial statement that would help one
TO get at the facts needed. 1t is all a
tumble; it is evident that no attention
is paid to keeping the true state of af-
fairs in a way the public can under
stand, and only by the most painstak-
ing effort can the truth be approx
mately stated. But the above gives the
present county administration the ben
eft of what doubt may be, and it is a
worse showing than one could have
thought possible. A change is certain
ly needed in county management"
As a recommendation of accuracy for
its own publication this Tribune COM
ment is deliciously humorous; but as
d serious plea for Fishers election it is
even funnier.
The change" needed is not in county
management, but inside Fishers head.
Possibly, too. an injection of common
honesty into the Tribune's figures
would be a desirable change"

should continue in operation until this
country becomes rich enough TO pay OFF
its great private Indebtedness. and then
we can more easily attain bimetallism.'
William GIasmann of Ogden wrote
the state platform, and read it to the
convention. He has heard Mr.. Brown
make that assertion. 1t passed I'M
challenged. Neither the Ogden Stand
ard nor the Salt Lake Tribune disputed
it. 1t is from the Tribune that the ex-
cerpt is taken.
Ii the tariff laws can make this coun-
try rich under ''the existing gold stand
ard" as Mr.. Brown says it can. then
there is nothing in bimetallism.
If it were possible to prosper and pay
our debts under the present financial
system. why should we strive to attain
bimetallism?
The facts are that the state platform
to which Mr.. Eldredge is pledged con-
tains deliberately-told falsehoods; that
it misrepresents actual conditions in or
der to make it appear that prosperity
is assured under 1.-The existing gold
standard; that the whole Republican
outfit in Utah is trying to deceive the
people and add the state to the gold
column.

WHEAT AND PROSPERITY.


While that great Republican orator,
Hon. John Henry Smith, is about it,,
while he is talking prosperity and
Dingley prices, why doesn't he tell the
farmers what caused the price of wheat
to fall this year?
On the 18th of last May wheat was
quoted at $1.511a per bushel, New York
prices. Yesterday it was quoted at
6SA. Republicans told the farmers in
May that McKinley's tariff and finan-
'cial policies had raised the price of
wheat.
McKinley's policies, which Utah Re
publicans endorse and applaud" are
still in force, just as they were in May.
What, then, has caused wheat to fall
SS14 cents in six months of Dingley
ism?
Will Mr.. Smith please explain this to
his hearers hereafter? He has adj
dressed a great many without doing so.
Let him go back a year, if he wants
to get away from the figures given.
On the 9th of October. 1897. wheat
was quoted in New York at 9S1A. On
the 9th of October, 1898, it was quoted
at 6SA.
Wheat has fallen 251k cents per
bushel in a year of Dingley prosperity.
Can Mr.. Smith explain it?

GOLDBUG ARGUMENTS.

For at least two years prior to the
Sth of September, 1898, the local Re
publican organ told the people of Utah
that no tariff could help the country;
that the producers were beyond the
reach of tariff aid; that prosperity
without bimetallism could never come.
The Republican state platform, on
which Alma Eldredge is running for
congress this year, contains this declar-
alton:
We congratulate the country, and
especially Utah, upon the great finan-
cial success of the Republican doctrine
Of protection, as expressed in the Ding
ley bill"
If the Dingley bill has brought pros
perity, if the Republican state platform
states a fact, then the Republican or
gan has been deceiving the people.
If the Dingley bill, which is mot
truly protective measure" has restored
prosperity under the existing gold
standard, as the platform says it has,
then what is the use of bimetallism
anyhow?
Hon. Arthur Brown was chairman of
the state convention which framed that
platform. He is now upon the stump
advocating its acceptance by the peo-
pie
Dir. Brown is saying in HIS speeches:
f.Bimetallism must be approached
conservatively, hence the tariff laws

TWAS A THRILLING TALE.

It seems too bad that anyone should
spoil a truly good and graphic story
by coming forward with the facts con
corning the incident. But there are
people right here in Utah mean enough
to do just that sort Of thing.
For instance, yesterday morning our
local Republican contemporary had a
thrilling description of another frost -
In bold and glazing headlines it an
nounced: Roberts didn't charm-Peo-
pie Of Fillmore disguised with him
Many leave the hall-Didn't want 10
hear him finish, etc.
The whole tragic narration is repro
d41ced on the first page of The Herald
this morning. It went into particulars,
told of three meetings BIr. Roberts had
held in Willard county on Tuesday. of
a meeting in Fillmore Tuesday night,
described the street parade, the audi
ence. the speakers, the speeches and
all. down to the minutest detail.
1t was a wonderful relation-about as
interesting a tale as one cares TO read
nowadays, and well worth the cents
paid for the paper.
However, as the organ says of its ex-
auditors figures, there were "discrep-
encies.''
In the first place. Mr.. Roberts was
holding forth in Davis county at the
time the Tribune had its eagle eye on
his movements in Willard.
When the Fillmore people were leav-
ing their hall, according to the Tribune
account. Mr.. Roberts was addressing a
large. enthusiastic audience at Bounti-
full, $50 miles away.
But a little thing like that doesn't
affect our neighbor in the least. 1t
has a choice assortment Of carefully
prepared frost" stories in stock, and
it evidently intends to use them on
