"They merely judge the future by the pa.st," it bays, "and they frankly Fay that in the event of the Saints gaining statehood, there will be only one of two things for them to do, get out or light, and they are not strong enough to make a light with any hopo,of success." When we see the gentiles all over the territory abandoning the old liberal organization, dissolving it in some places and quietly laying it on the shelf in others, we are forced to conclude that they are not afraid of party divi-sion. The fact is that the gentiles who live in the mormon communities have an excellent opportunity to study the sincerity of the mormon people in this matter, and they attest their conlidence In the good faith of that puoplo by join-ing th movement for parly division in large numbers. If those of our Salt Lake liberals who really desire to do what is right would get out among the mormons and study the matter instead of taking the Tribune for their guide, they would make up their minds very quickly that the liberal party has no excuse for existence. , The liberal organ tells its readers j mon use, and yrt it has materially de-creased those prices, generally speak-ing, aed the reductions are so adjusted as to give direct and positive relief to the people. Tho truth is that it is not possible to make accurate calculations with regard to the results of a proposed tariff law. Too many new aud unforseen circumstances are apt to intervene. The law of trade, the fluctuations of couimurce, the disturbances of politics are all to be considered, and co man can anticipate them in his estimates. A higher duty may increase the receipts, and a lower duty may decrease them. Jt depends upon conditions that are neither per-ceptible nor predictable. In the pr-n-instance it has turned out woll for the country and bad for the reputation of tho experts. The Mi.Kinlkv law is gaining strength every day in the minds of the people, but experience is teach-ing them that it is a benefit and not a detriment to them. They can see that the worst prophecies against it are be-ing disproved, and that it ia steadily improving the situation and promoting the interests of tho fanners and laborers. Against such testimony the speeches of the demagogues and calnmitarians can have no eifect. The American voters are int'illigent, obsrvant and quick to comprehend the facts in a case of this kind. It is useless to try to frighten thmu with the cry of 'MctviXLEr prices' auy more. They know a last year's bird's nest when they sue it, aud they will not be deceived again ns they were in the last campaign by sophistry and falsehood." x THK M'lilsLEV LAW. A recent issue of the St. Louis Globe-Democr-has an editorial entitled Tolitieal Predictions," which is such a thoroughly good argument in favor of the McK.ini.ey law that we herewith re-produce it. Tho article will impress the reader mot e forcibly if lie keeps in mind the fact that the Globe-Democr-is oue of tho republican papers that was carried of its feet during the con-sideration of the McKinlev bill by con-gress. It was alarmed by the prophe-cies of evil, aud, with true republican independence anil fearlessness, it thun-dered against the measure. When tho landslide occurred in November the paper denounced the bill and its sup-porters, chargiug them with having slaughtered the party. It is, therefore, both interesting and instructive to find the article referred to in its columns cow. It is as follows: "The homely admonition of Ilosca Diglovv, 'Don't never prophesy onlcss ye know,' is peculiarly applicable to the matter of foresight in politics, l or example, take the much-discusse-and poorly understood McKinlf.y tarid law When the bill was ponding its 'robable effects were dwelt on at great euglh, and the estimates dilleied widely on both sides. The committee that reported it to the bouse said that it would certainly reduce the re-venues over $iiO,(rt)0,000, aud probably more, while the minority rt'po"t said that there would be an increase of more than $1,000,010. We are now able to aee that both of these statements were wildly exaggerated. During the first live months of the present calendar year receipts diminished aboutll,000,-000- . or 17 per cent; and in the lirst twenty days of Juno there was au in-crease of $!i.Si")4,000, or about 40 per cent. If this ratio of decrease shall continue during the jear, as it is likely to do. the receipts from customs for the twelve months will be about $'20,000,000 less than last year. In other words, it is apparent that the estimate of the trading republicans was about three times too high, and that of the leading democrats still further out of the way. The basis of prediction was supposed to be good, but in fact it was unsubstan-tial and misleading. "A like degree of mistake is evident as to other effects of the law. The country was told by its opponents that it would seriously lessen the exports of our products, when in reality it has en-larged them. A great deal was said bout the additions that it would make I to the prices of various ai tides of com- - J George M.

Third West St. ialt Lake City, Utah. The most amusing feature of the po-litical situation is the statement of the Tribune is that the liberal party is gain-ing strength . It is raising Borne dust, but its leaders know that it is losing ground every day. The object of its organ is to stop the desertions by put-ting on a bold front, but the falsity of the statemeut resorted to is so apparent to every observer that it can have no effect. The Tribune is just now the "rainbow chaser" of Utah politics. The Iowa republicans present an un-daunted front to the combined power of liquor and the democracy. They take up the tariff and throw down the gauntlet to the democrats u that issue kino; and the entire record of their con-vention proceedings shows that they are in for an aggressive, enthusiastic campaign. Their light will be watched with interest in all parts of tho country and enooiiragnmeut from good people everywhere will be extended to them. This republican club convention to be held in Ogden on the 10th promises to be one of the most interesting political u'litlierinps ever witnessed in the west. Du the 11th a grand republican rally is to he held, aud it will be addressed by lion. Jamee B. Belfoiid of Colorado and lloitit of Michi-gan. X the clubs lu the territory should bo represented, and large dele-gations of republicans from every sec-tion should bo present at the rally. Tub politicians are all guessing who will be the deniocratio candidate for governor of New York. The great in-terest in the matter arises from the fact that the nomiuation will be dictated by the democratic "bu-n- " of the slate. He docs not permit any man to read his thoughts, and thu guessing is therefore reduced to spe dilation upon the char-acter of his plans. The candidates are all afraid to announce themselves very emphatically without, some intimation that Air. lltl.L will favor them, and their frienils, consequently, art) busy scanning the horizon for some indica-tion of his preference. Mayor Cll.tl'lN has boeu thought to be the favored in-dividual, ami Congressman Fl.owhit has alsu been encouraged to believe that he might to permitted to run. These have both figured somewhat con-spicuously, but tthere are many who believe that the governor intends to re-nominate himself and permit some one else to be sent to the senate. As a "boss" he has no superiors, and no party iu any stato was ever bo com-pletely subject to tho will of a single in-dividual as the New York democracy is to his. Watks has been turned into the Hear rier canal, and the great enter-prise appears to be a complete success. This is one of the most important en-gineering works of the kind ever un-dertaken in the country, and its suc-cess is not only a matter of the greatest importance to the sections reached by it, but it marks a great advance ia irri-gation development. MEN WHO AUK i;iorAIB. We know of men In this city who are btill clinging, with mure or less tenacity to the liberal party, who, if they would adhere to the positions assumed a few weeks ago, would now bo with one or the other of the national parties. When the agitation for party division was in its earlier stages and when events bad not progressed as far as to the dissolu-tion of lha people's party, there were scores who declared that they would cease to be liberals if the mormons would disband their organization and thus show themselves to be ready to unite with the democratic and republi-can organizations. Many have accept-ed the dissolution of that party as sat-isfactory evidence of the good faith of its members, but there are others who hang back, frightened by the unwar-ranted assertions that are made in be-half of liberalism This reference of tho matter will probably come to the attention of num-bers who took such ground before the dissolution of the people' party, but who have not yet made good their promises. We would ask them to stop and inquire if they are acting fairly by themselves or tiie community. Let them search their own minds aud see if they are uot being led into a course of action contrary to the dictates of their reason. While the people's party yet remained intact, they saw clearly that the disbanding of that party was all that was needed to justify abandonment of tho liberal organization, but now they hesitate because the opponents of division follow their regular habit of ec mbatting the sincerity of every step la'tau by tho rtormou people. They are led 'v-i- bv the frdse asser-tion that the people's party was dis-solved in a day, without preparation t.ud without warning, forgetting that tho action was tho mature outgrowth of conditions which had been forced upon the atieution of thinking men, and wbiloh they themselves had readily ad-mitted to be so strong that they would yield if the people's party would first fcubnVit to the logic of the situation. The Timks would ask this clas of men to go back over the grouud and pia.ee themselves in tho position that they occupied a few weeks ago, and an-swer if there bo any real reason why they should deviate from the course wh'ch they then marked out for them-selves. Remember that tho interests of Utah are al stak in this matter. There are few indeed who do not admit that the linal settlement of the old contro-versy will be a blessing to the territory, but if every opportunity for its settle-ment should bo rejected, after every condition had boon ftillilled, we would never reach it. The men who get i'p a demand for the dissolution of the peo-ple's party as the standard by which they would bo guided aud who have since held back from accepting their own terms are unf.iir to Utah, unfair to meu who are laboring for the best in-terests of Utah, and amazingly unfair to themselves. If they will review the matter dispassionately they cannot fall to appreciate the unfairness of which they staud convicted. SPIRIT OF. THE PRESS. Irrigation ia California. San Francisco Chronicle. The appointment of a consulting en-gineer and an attorney will tend to sys-tematize the scheme of irrigation in California and to aid it materially. Cflicers will have almost the rank and standing of state officials. They will necessarily be impartial and unpreju-diced, and while their labors will not debar intending invesiora from making independent resear tes and investiga-tions their reports will have a certain prestige which wH come to have al-most the force and effect of a judicial decision.

Nkwlakps is agitating tho subject of irrigation in Nevada, lie holds that the deserts of that stato can be made to blossom if the water at hand be utilized. This is no doubt true. It is well known that the valleys of Nevada aro wonderfully fertile, the most remarkable re.ni'.ts ha ing been achiuvod wherever agriculture has been tried. There is water enough to re-claim vast areas of land that have heretofore remained in a desert condi-tion, and if this work of reclamation could be donu the stato would quickly regain much that it has lost. If, at the same time, additional railroad facilities could be furnished, so that the develop-ment of the mineral resources could proceed, Nevada would soon rank as oue of the rich st.ites of the west. It is now iu the grasp of a single cor-poration aud many of its richest dis-tricts are entirely isolated. Tho statu needs ithing but railroads and irii-gatio-ditches to bring it fuiaid. Ji, lias long been calied a "rotten bor-ough," but with needed advantages it would throw olf this stigma ia a few years. An Ialaui.ui Crlm. Nrw York Press. There is a certain crime of a peculi-arly dastardly aud horrible sort that semis to be on the increase in tho United States. The number of young men who, when the young women to whom thoy have been paying court re-jects them, avenge themselves by kill-ing or seeking to kill her. and afterward put themselves out of the reach of hu-man punishment by committing sui-cide, apparently grows from year to year. Will Make m Fair Sized State. St. Louis Utah will make a fair sized stato when it is admitted. Nobody knows yet which party will carry it. Hereto-fore on national issues it would prob-ably have given a majority to the de-mocracy, but as th territory has re-cently reformed its morals, it has probably reformed its politics also. The bank exchanges for lad week show, a decrease of 17.0 per cent for Denver; KJ.fl percent for Omaha, and l'l. 8 for Kansas City. Salt Lake City shows an increase of i'.i per cent. The decrease for New York was i.'l percent. The decrease for the whole country was 1(1 per cent, and outido of New York BM per cent. All these iigures are in comparison with tho correspond-ing week of last year. Denver News. The liberal organ has been asserting that the political division here has in-jured business. Tho bank clearings are regarded as the best evidence, of business conditions, and the fact of au increase here while all other points re-port a decrease indicates that Salt Lake is all right. Tho figures are not sur-prising to men who have kept posted, but they will allay the fears of any who may have been frightened by the dole-ful predictions of the Tribune. Tub name of Chief Justice Fuller has been mentioned in connection with the presidency. Just why his name shnuld be brought forward is not plain, lie is in a good place now, thauks to his being discovered by President Cleveland, but there is nothing to show that he has ever done anything to entitle him to the presidency. When ho was named as chief justice, the peoplo of the United States asked with one accord, "Who is he?" lie has made a fair record in the exalted place thst he occupies, but he has done noth-ing to distinguish himself, aud tho sug-gestion of - name as a candidate ior the presidency has a somewhat absurd souud. THK TRITU OF IT. A great cry is being raised by a few disgruntled liberal otlice seekers here, whose ambitions to cat hay out of the public crib have not yet been satiated, that the possibility of a liberal defeat in the next electiou here is tending to keep out capital that is clamoring to invest in Salt Lake real estate and Salt Lake enterprises. The Tribune is par-ticularly distraught, ,so the peoplo here will no longer 'need its autocratic commands, but wiil rush to what it as-serts is nio.it certain destruction if they persist in sheathing their Babers after the battle has been fought and the light won. To try and give color of truth to its assertion, the Tribune seizes ou every bitof evidence, roievaut or irrelevant, lie the letter of some impecunious speculator who bus invested two or three hundred dollars here, devotes a column of gush to it and proceecia to execute a gaiety skirt dance over it. The fact of the whole thinft is that this country is at present suffering from a financial depression, it is wide-sprea-and circles the entire plobe; and when this is true business is dull dull every-where. So that in times like these it is but natural that when men are iloing a losing business, they should blau-- e it on aouiothiug, and in this case it il the political agitation now wacing here which must bear the brunt of the burden. Political campaigns are always injurious to business, whether they are municipal, state or national. We do not think that the continuance of the liberal party in power here until the end of time, would result in the aale of a piece of property for two dol-lars if it was only worth one. We do not think that any sensible man would hesitate to invest money hero because there is a prospect of the old factions being harmonized; don't think so, be-cause we don't believe the world is en-tirely composed of foola. A contributor writes The Times, re-citing the facts of the people's party and tho murmou church haviug yielded to every demand made of them and asking "What will saiisfy the liberal party what will satisfy them of the sincerity of the mormon people? What does the Tribune gang want?" We give it up. Perhaps if thu stars should stand still in their courses, and if a voice, breaking the awful stillness that would settle upou the world in contem-plation of such a phenomenon, should proclaim that thu mormon people had yielded and that the hour for peace had arrived, the Tribune might be satisfied but we doubt it. Tub Tribune pubiisnes a very inter-esting article on "Bmhauck and His Fame" which concludes as follows: "That ho growled and stormed when his resignation was asked is proof that alter ail he is a very human man and subject to just such wild passions as the rest of the human race. There is noth-ing of the Washington in his make up. Rather there is very much more of the Kk heliku. ile fed on power until it broke his heart to have that nourish-ment taken from him." And as we read that, the reflection arose IIow accurately that paragraph ri'liects the position of the Tribune it-self in the present political whirl. |
