Ji iHiE Ykkkks on Tuesday clipjHxl the wings of the county commissioners, of IVrks county and set an example for all the other counties in the state. It has lieen customary there, as in other coun ties, for the commissioners to appoint a janitor and fireman to look after the court house. Judge Yerkes delivered an opinion to the effect that the act of 1S.H vested the jKtwer to make the appoint ments in the Court ami not in the com missioners. This was a bombshell. The judge followed up his opinion by apMin(ing the fireman and janitor for a term of three years, In-ginning January 1, 1S-.M. Kvkky good citien should pay his just jMtrtion of taxes for the support of the state and government. He should also pay without complaint a portion for the support of the j tor and needy. Hut to I taxed for protection, to help his wealthy neighbor, who probably has more of this world's goods than he lias, to make money, is stretching the functions of the government to a point where every free citizen should object. In a government for the jteoplc there is no class that should I protected but all should contribute alike. In monarchial governments, where the nobility aresup ttosed to I Itetter than common people, it is right for those who accept the be lief to allow themselves to le taxed for thesupiKtrtof their sujteriors. In this country where farmers, printers, laltor ers and others are taxed for the lienefit of a class of manufacturers, the levying of the tax, in the shape of a tariff protec tion is an imposition that smacks of the trade of the highwayman. The consideration of the bill for the admission of I'tah intothesisterhoctd of states was begun in the House on Tues day. The principal point at issue was whether the enabling act should contain a provision imixtsing pains and penal ties for iMilygamous marriages, the con tention on the one hand Iwing that the state should come in on an equal foot ing with other states unhandicappod by sue h provisions; on the other that as Itlygamy had Iteen stamped out by the federal statue, on the admission of the territory would rejteal that statue, con gress shou 1.1 make it practically part of the enacting act, Mr. Morse (Mass.) in opposing the bill, took occasion to make a vicious assault on I'tah and Mormon ism and recalling ail the outrages of plural marriages, the crimes of DaniUs, the Meadow massacre, blood atonement and the revelations of the endowment house. Mr. Kawlins, the I'tah delegate, in the course of a brilliant sjteech cham pioning the bill replied to Mr. Morse and worsted the representative from the Buy State very hadly. Mr. H a rter(O) opposed th bill on the ground that it gave a sparsely settled western territory too txiuch influence in the senate.

The IVmo.rats who join any .-uh rouspir a- i cy to.)if. :it the -rforin:ili- f ll,.-.lllty lo which the parly is pi.-dged ale traitors. It is the misfortune of the I . -mocratic parly that it has so many men in public life who are I cmMTats for revenue only says the New York 117.;.. They have no principles. They cannot lx ilepend ed upon in an exigency. A lot of this sort prevented the prompt rejK-al of the Silver I'ludiase act. They were finally l aten, but they did all the mi.-chief they could before they yielded. We know there are men in ltoth branches of congress w ho were elected as Democrats, but who are at heart Re publican protectionists. Some of thcrn are the same men who were determined to compromise on the silver question. These are men w ho can le depended upon in no issue of principle, but they never surrender partisan claims on olli-c-s and salaries. What we desire to say distinctly now when the lines are U'ing drawn is that the man who is in favor of taxing the many for the lerielU of the few had bet ter go over ojtenly to the Republican protectionist party, where he properly lielongs. The Democratic party does not stand for that idea. The Republi can party d:s. If anybody has supiosed that tariff re form can be accomplished without hurt ing temporarily some of the plutocrats who have !een pamjtered by tariff Imun ties, he has not sense enough to jxtse as a statesman. It is a time when Iemocrats must closely watch their representatives. Those who are allies of the Republican protectionists must le marked. We do not believe that there are enough of then to prevent reform, but whoever they are they must le forced to show their true colors. Another of the free trade bogies of protectionists is that if the Wilson bill Iteeomes a law American workingmen will le deprived of work. They say that the country will e so "llocxled': with foreign made gotuls that it will le im possible to manufacture here and that consequently American workingmen will le unable to obtain employment. That is the silliest of nonsense. As the New York Jtrrvnlf-r, a Republican newspajters said the other day, and as it reiterates whenever it is seized with a Spirit of fairness, the Cnited States has had within the past hundred years all kinds of tariffs and has prospered under all. And as it further sas no tariff can injurethe Union. It b:s advanced under all tariffs and will continue to ad vance, lio matter what may be done. The prosperity of this country dejtcuds upon the employment of its people. They are not all hankers. They do not all work hard at cutting off coupons with which to purchase what foreign menials mav make for them. They ex change their lalior for money and that money keeps the wheels of trade mov ing and insures prosperity. As the c(TP(i clearly shows, American work ingmen have found employment under all sorts of tariffs and can continue to do so. As to American workmen leiiig thrown out of employment by the en croachment of foreign goods, that is the most nonsensical thing that can lcsaid. Who must buy those "I'oods" of for eign goods? Necessarily, American workmen With what will goods U 'Ixiughl? Money of course,. How will they obtain' this money? IJy working for it. I.ut if the iloods" of foreign goods deprive them of work and conse quently of money how can they purchase foreign stuffs, and if they don't buy them how will these destroy Jthe Ameri can market and. throw Americans ou! of work? Where there are no purchasers there is no market. Where there is no market there are no encroachments. Where there are no encroachments there is no deprivation of work. This is a condition that no tariff bill can change. The Wilson bill will not and cannot deprive of work those Amer icans who are working in such industries as do riot owe their existence to tariff subsidies. A cttlkky company of Meriden, Conn., says the Pittsburg 7W, ttostcd a notice in their works a few days ago, stating that the Wilson bill made reduc tions of about f0 per cent on cutlery, and that if it passed their employers must look for a reduction of their wages of from 40 to 50 per cent. This is pure humbug. The Wilson bill puts the rates on cutlery substantially back w here they were under the law of 1SS3. The -Meriden firm did not increase wages when the McKinley bill added 40 or f0 ht cent to their profits. Not a bit of it. They pocketed the additional pro tection they have hen having these years, but they propose to cut labor when the duties go back to what they were when the present scale was arranged. Thw is a pretty good sample of protec tionist dishonesty.

The at-sence of this re port, although not lii" only reason, was one of the principal reasons for he de lay in yelling the new tariff bid in-fore the House. It would have la-en sutii-cu-nt of itself, as it is necessary lor that rcMirt to Ih; in the hands of memiiers be fore they take up the tariff. Chairman Wilson's present intention is to report the tariff bill to the House next Wednesday, and lit; h..-jj to te able to make public its twin measure, the intern il revenue bill, at about the same time. The last named bill would have leen ready before this had not the revised estimates of the olliciais of the treasury department shown that the de ficiency in revenue caused by the reduc tions in duties and extension of the free list made by the new tariff hid would le in the neighborhood of i.O,UtiO,tH0, which was some '", Hm,ioo more than had la-en estimated by members' of the ways and means committee. This of course, necessitated a revision of the in ternal revenue bill, which is to he made to supply the deficiency caused by the tariff bill. Among the new iroHsitions submitted to the committee this week was one from Representative Hatch, of Missouri, to tax the transactions of the stock and produce exchanges, instead of the earnings of corporations, which had iMt-n previously agreed upon by the com mittee. Mr. Hatch thinks such a tax would lo lelt less than any yet proposed. As there is no estimate for the exjM ii s s of the P.ureau of American Republics in the figures submitted by Secretary (iresham, for the next fiscal yiar, it is safe to say that there will soon 1-e no P.ureau of American Republics. It was a sort of a sideattachineut to the beauti-ful-on-pa-r-I!l.iine reciprocity pro gramme. Its cost has lieen annually about $:;o,0(iO, principally for salaries, and the U-nelit it has lieen to the coun try has li-n undiscovererable. Secreta ry Morton regards the money sM-nt at the forty-eight agricultural experimental stations one in each state and territory as largely wasted, and having recom mended in his annual reM.rt that they U: alH.lished he left the 7''0,tKM which it would require to run them out of his estimates for next year. The probability of a change in the sen ate rules is very slight, although then are several proposed amendments now lcfore the committee on Miles, of w hich Senator Rlackb.irn, of Kentucky, is chairman. The other Democrats on the committee are Senators Harris, of Ten nessee, and (lorinau, of Maryland. The action of the Republican caucus in de ciding not to lillihiistcr to prevent a vote on the Wilson tariff bill when it gets to the Seuate has weakened the desire for a change to a noticeable extent. Covernor-elect O'Ferrall, of Virginia, will retain his seat in ttie House until the Christmas recess, as his resignation will not take effect until the l!S, inst. He will le inaugurated governor on tin first day of January and will, contrary to custom, deliver an inaugural address. Something that has been done by only one other governor of that state since the war. He has been warmly congrat ulated by his colleagues with whom lie is deservedly popular. Congress got down to work very smoothly. The regular business in tit. House is the Kate's bankruptcy bill, which will be disposed of late this week or early in the coming wee';.
