ONE DUTY FOR UTAH MEN.

According to the dispatches the Re-
publicans of Massachusetts view with
alarm" the recent election OF a Dem
ocrat to Congress from that state.
They say they are afraid the present
tariff law will defeat the party candi-
dates for the lower house in the No
vembsr elections.
There is a somewhat similar note in
the middle west. Illinois and Indiana
ana Iowa Republicans recognize the
fact that they win have a fight on their
hands this coming fall.
And they blame the tariff law. too
But whatever may be the condition
elsewhere, there is only one thing pos
sfble for Utah. The people Of this gate
and that witlout regard to political
afflliation-wi1l hardly escape the obIi-
CATION to support the law. If there is
dissatisfaction with the tariff in the
east, it is because Utah and this region
have profited by the tariff. For Utah
certainly is a beneficiary under that
legislation.
The mines and the sheep of this state
would be worse than dead capital were

Without a retention of the rates ON

nor the f1ocks of this state would be

people. They must be for the tariff,
and for the party that made the tariff.
They can oppose the Republicans in
the fall elections only by the basest in
gratitude.
Opposition to the Republican party
on tariff grounds-or on any other
ground which makes defeat of that
ton for disaster. Not a man in the
state but IS obligated to give his voice
and his vote for the party that saved
the mines and the fiocks and the mills
of Utah.

CITY OF ALAMEDA
SELLS fLAIIRONS
Municipality Embarks in New
Business to Increase Rev
enue of Electric Plant

ALAMEDA, Feb 19.-The city of Ala
media has gone into the business of
selling electric Hatirons for 1885, while
private retailers charge $3.50 and So.
The electricity commission is desir-
Gus of increasing the use of electric
current generated by the municipal
plant during the daylight hours, much
of which is now lost in the overload
surplus because there is no demand for
it. BY inducing the patrons of the
city's plant to use electric fiatirons the
commissioners expect to secure suffi-
cient income to defraud the daily oper
ating expenses.
According to A. D. Goldsworthy sec
rotary of the electricity commission,
Los Angeles firm recently secured
10000 fatirons and sold them to pat
rons at the cost price. When the irons
were put into general use the profit on
the daily increase in current used was
sufficient to pay the daily. operating
expenses of the Los Angeles plant.

LIVERPOOL DROP SENDS
COTTON PRICES DOWN
Market Generalization Nearly
Equals January Slump

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The cotton
market was almost as excited and de-
moralized at the opening today as it
was during the break of last January.
in consequence of the sensational de-
cline in the Liverpool market before
the American markets opened for bust
ness.
The market started weak at a de-
cline of 10@35 points, with May con-
tracts selling down to 14.16c, or nearly
a cent a pound below the recent high
level under heavy liquidation and stop
loss orders.
The big break in prices forced fur
Their extensive liquidation with May
contracts touching 14.04c.
There was a rally of 10 or II points
in the last few minutes, and the clos
ing tone was steady at a decline of
1905 points, with May quoted at
14.19c
Today's liquidation is believed in To-
cal circles to have represented the hold
ings of large interests which had been
partly carried over from the break of
last January and partly accumulate
since May sold at 1850, during the
middle of last month

San francisco is to be treated to the
last word in the way of endurance
contests. San Francisco's red blood has
risen to the fever point for Marathon
runners. Her thousands have cheered
themselves hoarse in approval of the
achlevements of professional aviators,
oicycllsts, automobilists and cross coun-
try runners, both professional and anna
teur.
San Francisco has cheered the youth
and Drawn of foreign lands as en-
Enthusiastically as she has applauded the
splendid accomplishments of her own
sons. But ever her cheers have been
for the skill and Drawn of manhood.
Beauty's place has been on the side
lines. AT last San Francisco is to
nave an endurance contest in which
the grace and skill of her maids shall

Suggests City Hall Site

The Merchants association called tn,
supervisors attention yesterday to III,
site Of the old Polytechnic high schoo
~ Stockton and Bush streets as suit
able location for the temporary city
hall.
The mayor had mentioned the play
ground lot at Seventh and Harrison
streets. and NJ II. de Young had sub.
mitted an offer Of his Market street
property just west of Eighth street
but the association pointed out the adj
vants ge of a downtown location and
the saving by the use OF lot already
owned by the city.
The communication read:
Referring to the matter of de-
sirable site for the proposed city
hall we respectfully beg to suggest
that you investigate the desira bill
1ty of the city lot at the corner of
Stockton and Bush streets former
school
This land is quite conveniently
located and we suggest that the
city might for a moderate sum con-
struct there a permanent building
which would house the various city
departments pending the construc-
ton of the new city hall and which
could be designed so that its in
terror ARA ngements could be after
ward easily altered so as TO be
adapted for any other municipal
require building. In this way the
city would be paying no rent and
al money expended would be on its
own property. so that the money
which would otherwise be expended
IN rental would go into perma-
Hent improvement.
We respectfully suggest that If
the city attorney advises that un-
der subdivision 81 of section /
chapter II, article III of the char
ter this land can be used for such
2 purpose. that your board investi-
gate thoroughly the merits OF this
site for the purpose mentioned.

quest 10 the board of supervisors for

This recommendation is made for
the reason that the bids of the
construction of said pumping sta

apart by your board. The reason
the bids have exceeded the esti-
mate is because Of the high cost
Of having the steel fabricated in

the smaller counties of the state.
All of these suggestions are good
ones and we are sure that the time is
not far distant when there will be
considerable changes in some county
lines, changes that will be advanta
geous for the people living in those
towns that are isolated from county
seats as they now are. Take down

Changing County Lines.
The Montpelier Journal commenting
editorially on possible county changes
hits a subject which is very important
to number of towns in the state in
more ways than one, especially when
the matter of time, travel and ex-
pense in the transaction of court bust
ness is considered. First it speaks of
changes, that might have been made
in the western part of the state which
no doubt would be of great benefit and
the people would he better served.
Essex county also comes under consid-
Grafton, but what touches the people
of this vicinity more closely is the
following:
"Of course one cannot re-arrange
counties as easily as a checkerboard is
marked out. Sentimental attachment
and long attachment, are powerful
forces. Nevertheless, it does no harm
to look over the map and speculate
regarding possible readjustment that
would save travel for persons doing
business at county seats. The people
of Craftsbury and Greensboro, in Or
leans county, Hardwick in Caledonia
county. and Woodbury. in Washington
county, could reach Hyde Park more
easily than their respective shire
towns. This arrangement would also
strengthen Lamoille, which is one of
the smaller counties of the state. -
The Journal further says 1t is
easy to make other combinations Of
towns that would appear to be an i'm
provement over existing conditions,
! but the probability of any immediate
! changes are not promising, 1t must be
admitted. At the same time certain
re arrangement of county lines would
! be beneficial and worthy of consider
alton"
That paper believes there is no need
of fourteen counties, that twelve
would be better and less expensive.
The matter of changing the town OF
Hardwiek to Lamoille county has beer
seriously discussed by people here for
some time, in which they offer the
argument that a great deal would bt
saved US in the transaction Of court
business, as the distance Of travel
would be iessened by one half ant
railroad connections could be made or
the same day. At the present time
Hardwick people attending county
court must go to the county seat the
night before in order to be present q
the opening Of court. This idea 0.
change has, however, not become IN
general favor. Better still would be
if the towns here mentioned could b'
divided into a special court district
Such an arrangement would be o
great convenience, facilitate matters
in disposing of court cases, and saw
expense to the individual and to tn
state. -Hardwick Gazette.
