The spirit of expansion fills the air.
If is rampant in Salt Lake. This city
will expand whether the nation does
or not. Part of Farmers ward, extend
ing from State to Fifth East. and from
Tenth TO Eleventh South, proposes TO
constitute a part of Greater Salt Lake
and so far as The Herald has been aple
to learn, there is no one IN the city OPP
posed to the annexation. Indeed, the
question has not been preached even
as TO whether the natives of that ter
1itofv are capable of Self-goVernment-
This part of Farmers ward would be
a valuable accession to the city, and
the residents realize fully the adNan-
tages that would accrue to them by
admission into the city. The tract OF
ground covers just 200 acres. 1t en-
braces the beautiful place known as
Capitol Avenue addition, and has many
beautiful homes There are now about
] 600 inhabitants i'll the territory, and
this number will be rapidly augmented
when the advantages of the city are
extended to Farmers ward
The advantages they sigh for chiefly
are those afforded by the city schools,
the city water supply, the city lights
and the care of their streets and side
walks In addition to these some OF
the residents have political ambitions
that they can satisfy only by taking
an active part in the public affairs OF
a great city They consider that the
additional taxes would be much more
than overbalanced by the advantages
they would gain by annexation.
Promoters of Annexation.
The men who are taking the most
active interest in the movement for
annexation now are Professor William
Bradford. principal of the Jackson
school: DR. William II. Hodges. j. A.
Frirch and /. J. Kyes, ticket agent of
the Oregon Short Line. They are now
preparing for the campaign. and an
ticipate no serious trouble in gaining
their point They will prepare plats of
the ground TO lay before the city coun-
ell. and circulate a petition among the
residents, asking the council to take
them in Under the old law it was
necessary To hold an election to ascer-
tain the wishes of the people. That is
no longer necessary; a petition takes
fits place.
one of the first effects of annexation,
which the residents consider sure to
come. and in a very short time, will be
a water main south on State street TO
the new addition. This, il is estimated,
will cost $1,000 to the northern limits
of the addition. and to pipe the water
to the different parts of the addition
will cost at least $1,000 more.
This matter of annexation has been
discussed before. but only discussed.
Now the residents of the territory mean
business. and viii have the matter
rea0y for the councils action in very
short time.

Smashup at Winnemucca.

Winnemucca, New, June 23.-What

morning. with several heavily loaded
cars of coal standing on the side track.
When passenger train No. !, east

Especial to The Herald.)
Washington. ID. c., June 23.-Captain
Nickerson. agent for the Shoshone In
dams of Wyoming, is in Washington
with a delegation of nine members of
the tribA They will see the acting
commissioner of Indian affairs tOmOr-
row. Treaties now existing between
the tribe and the government are to
expire and the delegation will ask that
a commissioner or special agent be
sent to the reservation TO Negotiate a
new treaty which will provide for the
cession of portion of the reservation.
The tribe is not self-suppOrting and
there is a disposition among the In
dams to sell 100000 or 1.5G0.000 of their
5000, 900 acres of land within the reser-
walton. The proceeds of such sale will
be deposited in the treasury to the
credit of the tribe and will give. each
member an annuity to help out his
yearly earnings, which are not enough
to support him.
The delegation also wants to talk to
the commissioner about various treaty
regulations regulating to the tribe. 1t
is probable that the delegation will be
here a week or ten days.

WILL KEEP THE CANTEENS.
War Department Decides to Maintain
Post Drink Shops.

Washington, June 23-The acting
secretary of war said today that so
far as the department is concerned the
question OF the maintenance OF can
teens at United States army posts is
settled in favor of maintaining the
present system
Reports from officers IN all branches
of the service showed that from every
standpoint the army canteen associa-
ton as operated is infinitely better for
the interests of the soldier than the old
system of post traders and low grog-
geries on the outskirts of the posts. The
regulations under which the canteen
operates are already formulated and
there will be no need for further ac-
ton by the department.

00O-Cleanup at Dawson Practi-
cially Finished-Miners Are Pre-
pairing to Come Out.

Seattle, Wash, June 23.-The second
big lot of returning Klondikers since
navigation opened reached here this
afternoon on the steamer Humboldt.
There were about $50 of them. and a
few of them brought considerable gold
dust. Others were reported TO have
drafts for large amounts, while others
came home without riches.
No accurate estimate of the amount
of gold dust can be made, for the reason
that the figures given by the different
passengers vary widely. ranging all the
way from s25O.000 To 100000. Still more
diverging are the conjectures as 20 the
amount of drafts. Including drafts and
dust, the estimates range from $509.000
to S1.250.000. Purser Carroll claims that
he had in his custody $3.50, 600 in dust.
and estimates that there was about
$500, 900 more in the different stateroOms
not turned over to him.
At o'clock this afternoon S150.000
worth of dust had been dposited in the
United States assay office. y $4,000
lot was billed at an express office for
shipment to Philadelphia
The Lucky Gold-seekers.
H. Wolsten and Dan Saunders of
England had the reputation of being
the two richest men on board. They were
credited with having between them
about half a million dollars, the price
of the sale of several claims. Mr.. Win
ter of Seattle had $4,000 sack. W.
II. Armstrong and his party had about
$50 pounds. a Mr.. Harper of Philadel-
phia was credited with S40.0 900. Other
large holders were G. F. Williams. Au-
gust Peterson. DR.. ]. H. Hill, Palmer

Mike White, A. H. X Hill, s. J. Miller.
John Nelson.
Some of the passengers left Dawson
as late as June s. They report that
the cleanup is practically finished. The
estimates of the cleanup this season
will amount to from $12, 000, 900 TO $16,-
600 OO0
Times are very quiet at Dawson, and
there are many idle men there.
James :. Clark of Victoria estimates
that at least 10000 will come out this
summer, but their places will be filed
by men going in. Michael White an
old California miner. reports that there
are 1000 penniless men at Dawson beg
ging for assistance to get up the river.
Many others are working for their
board. Wagons on Eldorado creek are
81 per hour. Other creeks pay so cents.
Gold Commissioner Senkler issued an
order June 6 reserving from entry all
vacant hill and bench claims on Be-
nanZa and EldOrado creeks. Another or
der has been issued forbidding govern
ment officials and employees from ac-
quiring mining properties in the W.
kon.

NOT HER ENEMY.

When one considers the activity, the
enthusiasm and the claims of the fe-
male woman suffragists one may we'll
ask, Lord, what is man that thou art
mindful of him? But there are other
women than those who are firing them
selves and their fellow men by their
efforts to get rights which most wo-
men don't want and wouldn't use.
Some of the other women who live in
Massachusetts have formed themselves
| into 1.-The Massachusetts Association
Opposed to the Further Extension of
Suffrage to Women" They have twen-
| ty-five branch committees and members
in 1854 towns and cities, They publish
journal called the Remonstrance, which
down trodden man will read with Joy.
The great majority of the women OF
Massachusetts, New York, Maine, ILL
-nois, Iowa and other States, says the
Remonstrance, do not want the ballot,
! and believe that to force 1t upon them
would not only be an injustice to wo-
men but would lessen their influence for
good" The leading article of the last
issue of the Remonstrance controverts
the statement made by Miss Susan B.
Anthony in her speech at the opening
of the National Woman's Suffrage AS
ISOLATION at Washington that 1.-THE
grievances which women have against
their common enemy, man, to-day are
as great and as many as the early colo
nists had against King George" Par
ticular objection is made to the phrase
their common enemy, man." The idea
it presents is the basis upon which the
whole woman suffrage movement pro-
absurdly false. Woman has no more
grievances" against man than she has
against her fellow woman, and he is not
her enemy, but, on the contrary, she
finds him, as rule her best friend
Every sane woman" says the Re-
monstrance, knows that man Is not
her enemy She knows that in no age
have women enjoyed so many privileges
as in the present century, and that no.
where in the world are the rights Of
women more carefully guarded by law
or more sacred in the eyes of the entire
community than in the United States
Miss Anthony's declaration of war be-
tween the sexes is as truly a libel upon
the intelligence of American women as
upon the consideration and chivalry Of
American men,"
Another article, headed Mistaken
Gallantry," affirms that 1.-The claim of
women who ask for the suffrage that
they speak for their sex is wholly with
out foundation. They speak for only
comparatively small percentage of their
sex; probably, in most States, not more

Il NEW OFFICE.

The man who invents new office for
one of the faithful may not be quite as
great a benefactor as the man who
makes grass grow where none grew be-
fore, but he is a good one. A new office
has been invented in Indiana. Small
pox is more or less prevalent in that
State and the timorous members of the
house have authorized the doorkeeper
to employ smallpox" assistant, who's q
duty will be to exclude from the hall
any person who, in his judgment, would
be likely to spread any infectious dis
ease. The assistant is to be appointed
on the recommendation Of the State
Board of Health

the kind in Connecticut. Perhaps we
haven't smallpox enough here to justify
the appointment of Smallpox Assist
ant, but what would be the matter with
a Grip Assistant? Clearly nothing, I'M
less he happened to catch the grip.

than in Massachusetts, where not more
( than per cent. of the women want the
| ballot. 1t follows that if legislators
| wish to vote on the side of women,
when suffrage propositions are pending,
| they will vote against the bills" AS
an illustration of the futility of woman
suffrage to benefit woman, the case OF
Utah and it's polygamtst Congressman
is cited. Utah has woman suffrage, ana
now has among it's State Senators Mrs.
Cannon, who, while running in the pres
: idential campaign on the free silver
ticket against her husband, said: L be-
lieve in polygamy. I think the women
Of Utah think with me, that we We're
better off in polygamy. Sixty
per cent. of the voters of this State are
women. We control the State" In
protesting against the election of Rep
resentative Roberts the opponents OF
polygamy are, therefore, in effect, OPP
posing the choice of the woman sur
fragists of Utah, who cast 60 per cent
of the votes of that State.
An interesting exhibit is made of facts
showing that the woman suffrage move
ment is losing force, particularly since
women opposed to 1t have begun to APP
pear before State legislatures and con-
ventions to antagonize the woman sur
fragists. For a time the latter We're
supposed to voice the sentiment of all
womankind, with the result that in
some States of our Union, and particu-
larly in Australasia, laws and constitu-
lions were formed under woman suffra-
gist influence, but in recent years the
tide has flowed the other way. Legisla-
lures and conventions nowadays with
increasing frequency reject all petitions
for license suffrage, municipal suffrage
and amendments striking the word
male" from qualifications for voters
and officeholders, ETC. The people in
voting on constitutional amendments
take the same course. In 1896 such
amendments were beaten in Massachu-
sets, Iowa, Rhode Island and Califor-
mia. In the following year defeats We're
encountered in Connecticut, Delaware,
Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri
Maine, Montana Nebraska, Nevada,
New York and Oklahoma in convent ons
or legislatures, and in 1898 woman suf-
frage met with further repulses in Ohio,
Kentucky, Iowa, Rhode Island, South
Dakota and Washington.
Such protests and such facts as these
will offset much shrieking. The Massa-
chusetts women are quite right in de-
Ginning to look upon man as their enc
my. He is Womans good friend and
is often willing to pay her board and
buy her clothes until death parts him
from the pleasing work

1t is to be hoped that the early indi-
cations of light and short session of
the legislature may be verified by later
facts, There is. feeling that we have
too much legislation. The people are
FESTIVE under it, but fail to see clearly
a way to correct it. Much of the legis-
lation enacted every year is simply lum-
Der in the statute books, rejecting no
general demand from the people and
adding no benefit to the public.
This is the situation in Massachu-
setts, as described by the Boston Her
aid. Connecticut can heartily say me
too"

THE HOME OF THE TR USTS.

While other States have been despis-
Ing and fruitlessly trying to reject
trusts, New Jersey has welcomed them
with warm hospitality-and made mon
ey out of them too. Last year New
Jersey collected a tax on a billion and
half dollars worth of corporation cap
ital stock, to which may be added about
seven hundred millions during the cur
rent year, or $2,250, 100000 of stock, rep
resenting capital almost entirely invest
ed outside the State. The record of
new business for the year of 1898 was
1,103 companies incorporated, with a to-
tai capitalization of 1O,S40,0O0. The
amount received from the corporation
tax was S1,197O30 in the year just closed
collected from 5,022 companies and, ad-
ded to the fees for the filing of certifi-
Gates, $162, 16S, it made a revenue from
this source of $1,35919S. Wherefore
there is no need of a direct tax upon
the people of the State for the expenses
of government.
If the trusts are the mammon Of I'M
righteousness which some say they are
New Jersey Is In the wrong company.
But if they are the fine, noble, benefi.
cent institutions their lawyers say they
are New Jersey is all right and far more
Yankee than any of the New England
States.

with seamless back and dartless front,
but so curved at the underarm seams
as to give it good shape. It's chief fea-
lures are it's high military collar, its
dart-fitted sleeves and it's fastening,
which is straight up the front with
hooks concealed by a fly. 1t is then
trimmed in naval fashion with a mar
row soutache above broad hercules
braid. Offered as new fancies usually
are, for all sorts of women, it will look
it's best on slender figures.
The latest swagger notion in rain
proof garments is a sack coat of the
baggiest cut, with great sleeves and

rubber, such as some of the men wear
who stand at the curb in the employ
of theater managers to assist patrons
to and from their carriages. On a wo-
man the effect of it is startling, but
there is nothing scrubby about it, and
white rubber is the best. The old time
black rubber gossamer and the hideous
silk affairs and cloth finish rain cloaks
are disappearing. 1t is now the thing
