WILL REMOVE DUTY.
Expected that Tariff on Coal Will Be
Taken Off.

Washington, Jan. 12.-It is expected
that Congress will pass a bill removing
the duty of Go cents a ton on coal i'm
ported into this country. This bill may
take the form of rebate or drawback
for 80 days and also will provide for rec
procity, admitting free of duty coal inn
ported into this country from countries
granting the same privilege to the United
States. This means Canada, and will per-
nit Nova Scotia coal to come into this
country free, while coal from the Allie
ghenies and westward will go into Canada
free of duty.
The ways and means committee will
meet tomorrow and according to the
present program, report a bill on the
above lines. 1t is expected it will pass
the House. tomorrow. 1t will be taken up
in the Senate very soon and the thing is
TO have 1t passed without much delay.
A number of Republicans who have
heretofore been opposed to changing the
duty on coal have said that they would
not oppose the bill providing it did not
open up rhe whole tariff question. There
has been some general talk, today, about
an agreement to pass such a bill without
opening up the tariff question and the
Republican leaders expect the House bill
will be passed promptly by the Senate.

for the nervous horses. One of them
jumped to one side, slipped and in falling
broke the pole.
In an instant the horses were off and
beyond control The team was headed
directly for the river, and seeing the dan
ger of drowning, Secretary Moody lcaped
from the carriage and fell heavily upon
his face. The driver ar that moment
managed to throw the horses towards the
officers quarters and halted the team
without injury to the remaining passen-
gers.

THAT smooT STATEMENT.

A POSTLE SHOOTS FRIENDS and
II neighbors have circulated a state
ment for signatures in his behalf ap-
parently on the suppOsition that he is
sure Of election to the United States
senate. but not so certain of taking his
seat. It is pretty well settled that the
apostle needs no signed petitions to
help him with the Utah legislature;
the votes to elect him are tucked away
now in his inside pocket, and the rati-
dcation is merely a matter of form.
Now come Mr.. Shoots friends in the
Garden City and affirm that he is
probably the best man, the best hus-
band and the best neighbor in the
state; not a polygamist, and not any
thing else that would disqualify him
Tor the exalted Office he has picked out
Tor himself Also, the signers say, Mr..
smoot was not the candidate of the
Mormon church.
To a disinterested observer, who has
been beaten in an effort to prevent the
election of a Smoot legislature, all this
seems the least bit irrelevant, imma-
terial and incompetent, as the lawyers
say. The objection to SmoOt has been
and still is his official position in the
Mormon church. AS an individual, as
a business man, as a monogamist and
good father and husband. Smoot is
about as good material as his party
could find for the senatorship. That
is, he is as good provided the people
think it wise and to the best interests
of Utah TO send an apostle to the SEN
ate. The Herald has insisted from
the beginning of his candidacy that it
would be unfortunate for both the
apostle and for the state to send him
to the senate. It has had no occasion
% change that opinion; but since the
Republicans were willing to take ad-
vantage of the apostles influence in
the campaign, it seems superfuous to
sign petitions and furnish certificates
of character for a man whose candi-
dacy has been Endorsed by the voters
of the state as well as by the conven-
lions which nominated his legislative
candidates.
Besides. that petition has something
of a machine-made air about it that
impairs its chief value as a spontane-
Gus tribute of love and esteem.

THE CASE OF MRS. COX.

IRON THE Elk PARTE STATE
i ment made by Secretary Cortel-
you for the president on the case of the
coIored postmistress at Indianola, Miss.
we are bound to reach the conclusion
shat the order directing the closing Of
the postoffee serves the people Of In
dianOla exactly right. The only OBJ
lection offered to Mrs. Cox, the negress
in the case. was that she was a ne
gress.
Reputable citizens of Indianola tes-
titled that her -Aaracter was above re-
proach. Those who have known her
for years say that her department hes
always been as high as the highest
standard set by her white sisters. Yet
the people objected TO receiving mail
at her hands. Southerners view such
matters as this from a queer stand
point.
They are perfectly willing to eat food
cooked by negroes. Indeed, It is not
uncommon to see a ''Done" OF corn

child at the breast of a negro NAM
my" as hundreds and hundreds OF
them have done. Perhaps some of the
very people who think their letters are
polluted by the touch of a dark hand
owe their existence to the tender
watchfuI devotion of their black foster
mothers. And in justice to the south
erner, it must be said that he loves the
old negro servants as dearly as they
love him. He remembers them in the
holiday season, he knows even better
than they when their birthday ami
versaries come around, he comforts
them in sorrow and he relieves them in
distress.
The negro in official life, however. is
another proposition. While really
postmaster is a servant Of the commun-
ity, it is hard to get ava, : from the
theory that he has authority over that
community. Some citizens have the
notion that postmasters give or with
hold letters just as they individually
please, that they sell stamps and
money orders on credit to favored Gus
toners and refuse credit TO others.
OF course, this is all mistake, but
it is hard to root the idea out Of preju-
diced hearts. The fact that a town
has a negro postmaster doesn't make it
necessary for the prominent residents
OF the town to throw their doors open
to the negro. He is no more their
equal, socially. after he becomes post
master than he was before his exalta-
ton. The Herald knows that the south
will never be convinced that negro Of
ficials can give good service, for the
dark pail of the negro domination of
the reconstruction period still hangs s
a spectre before their eyes. That was
an era of horror for the whites, of
staggering. domineering arrogance for
the blacks, but both races are older now
and, let us hope, better educated.
We believe President Roosevelt is
right when he says the people of In
dianola must do without a postoffice
until they accept his colored appointee.
The inconvenience to which they win
be subjected is calculated to have de-
cidedly broadening influence.

GEORGE A. LOWE.

L VERY CITIZEN Of Salt Lake will
II be shocked this morning at the
news Of the sudden death Of George A.
Lowe. Almost without warning the
Hnal summons came to him. But a
few minutes before the end he was in
his usual excellent health. Death
seemed far from the sturdy citizen who
30 lightly bore the burden OF the years
In which his life was numbered. Then
came brief. almost painless, struggle
and he fell asleep.
In the death of Mr.. Lowe Salt Lake
has sustained a distinct loss. He was
more than prominent citizen, for a
man may be a prominent citizen with
put being useful citizen. Mr.. Lowe
was useful to the community in the
best sense of the word. Always ready
to lend his influence and his keen bust
ness talents to the promotion of the
public welfare, he counted no labor too
exhausting, no labor too arduous if it
promised a return in public betterment.
From early boyhood to the close of his
life Mr.. Lowe was a worker, but he
seemed to thrive on it and at the age
of sc was apparently as strong, as well
equipped for further battles, as many
far younger men. All who knew him
hoped he might be spared for many
years of further usefulness, but it was
not to be.
OF Mr.. loves private life enough is
known to make sure the assurance that
1t was above reproach. A loving, ten
der, affectionate husband, an indulgent
and generous father, he leaves to those
he loved a priceless legacy in the recol-
lection of his blameless life. They will
not mourn for him as those who have
no hope. They know that if there is
another brighter, happier world where
the good that men do here is accounted
to their credit, George A. loves spirit
is there, waiting for those he has left
behind
