Tho gain of school population shown in this city by tho school census just taken is 38G, compared with the fig ures of last year; tho respective fig ures of school population being 23,6 IS last year and 21,001 this year. On the usual ratio of figuring total popula tion, this would give the city about 110,000 inhabitant's, which is a reason ably satisfactory figure. Salt. Lake City is a great center for all tho mining aud- stock . raisin'g in terests of this inlermountain rogion. Hundreds of men engaged in mining aud in livestock interests of ariotis kinds locate their families in this- city, both for the convenience of their bus iness and for the- advantages of the schools here. These ix'hools comprise a great asset to Salt Lake City, and will be a continuously increasing asset from ycat to year; It is of immense importance to Salt Lake that the miners and, stock rais ing men all through this inter-mountain country select this place as their homes and their hoadquartors. And the more advantages of this kind Salt Lake City can present, 'ibe more cer tain will be its future, and tho more rapid its growth in population and business strength. ITS DEGBADATION COMPLETE. Tho Snioot organ through its habit of consorting with and depending upon crooks, toughs, felons, and crim inals of every degroe, has again fal lon into the slimy pit of degrada tion, and has reached a lower doptb. of discomfiture than ever before. Ever since tho escape of Parry from the penitentiary it has beep blatant in assailing Warden Pratt; this, as it now turns out, upon the unsupported word of. a citard whom the' State Board of Correction has -found t'o be iruilty of conspiring with and aiding the escape of the convict felon, whose offenso is so gross and so revolting that even the hardened sen sibilities of the Smoot organ rails at him. And yet it was willing for political purposes, through its malignant ani mosities, to assail the character, offi cial standing, and competence of Warden Pratt, a man born in Utah, whose life is an open book to all of the residents of this city, and who has conducted himself with singular good judgment and propriety, as well as official success, in a record of dealing with criminals for some forty years. This long and successful record counted for nothincr with tho Smoot organ, when it concluded to open the vials of ila political wrath upon Warden Pratt to gratify its partisan animosi ties. No more signal examplo of perverted partisanship could be cited than that vile campaign againBt War den Pratt. But any effort of the criminal cle ment, guided by information from that element, is welcomed and its cam paign is carried in the columns of the Smoot organ. For years that organ has made itself the mouthpiece of tho criminal clement. Croolcs, toughs, and criminals of everr degreo, have been mado aware that by applying to that organ they .could have their defense put before tho public and their animosities aired against the officers of the peace and of the law. It has constantly filled its columns with, vituperation "against the police, against the lawful Guardians of the public peace and ordor. It has, wherever it could do so, discredited the personalities, the acta and the mo tives of tho peace officers. It has distinctly aligned itself with the crim inal classes against the guardians of public morals, and in opposition to tho allotted means for public protection and stability. No depths have been so low that the Snioot. organ was not willing to descend to those depths whenever it thought it 'could make a point against, the officers of tho law. It has not only taken the false state ments of criminals of every degree and urged them against the pro tectors of the public peace, but it has invented malicious aud false state ments of its own to .support villian ous accusations by the criminal classes, of which it made itsolf tho mouth piece. It has boon covered with confusion time after time by tho exposure of fabrications which it has mado cur rent by publicity, and yet seems never to be able to sense the degraded position iu which it places itself by this malicious and depraved course. No sooner docs it: din itself out from the slime of the pit into which it has fallen than it eagerly seizes upon any fresh sensation iu villainy wb.Lvruby it hopes to find ground upon which it can assail the management of the penitentiary or tho police of this city. It has a reservoir of malignant abuse and mondacity which it taps on every possible occasion, and makes itsolf the sower through, which the filth of that reservoir is let loose upon the com-, munity. It has no respect for public propriet3", no consideration for per sonal feelings, no regard for long eflioienci' and honorable service. Nono of these things will stay the vicious course of that organ, in thus flooding the community with its accumulation of vicious corruption and malignant mendacity. Tho present case, however, where its special agent, tho yuard Merrill, is found by the State Board of Correc tion to be the chief culprit in the escape of Parry is the most con spicuous of the offenses against order and deconcy and public wclfaro of which cvou that inaliguant organ has been convicted. lis overthrow is complete, and it has so far committed itaelf in the causo of injustice, crim inality, malice, and malignant false hood, that it would bo impossible for it to retain any further any of tho confidence of this community even among its political supporters. 7t is' so utterly discredited, ho completely overwhelmed in its own corruption , that its courso is run. GOVERNOR O'NEAL APPOINTS. The Governor of Alabama has ap pointed Henry D. Clayton to tho vacanc' in the U. S. Senate created 15" the death of Joseph l Johnston, and now tho question Avill come on seating Jiim. The Democratic ma jority will probably vote him in, as he is badly needed to strengthen the party vote, though the Constitution as amended iu this particular express ly nays that when a vacancy happens the Governor shall issue writs of elec tion so that the voters may Gil the vacancy. Since, however, the Alabama Legislature has passed no statute lay ing down the procedure to bo had, much delay and oxpense would be in I'uriod in a .special session of tho Legislature, aud tho Governor took a short, cut, being no doubt assured that the XJ. S. Senate would seat his ap pointeo, tho party urgency being so IT'S A "ROTTEN SYSTEM." Tho word that comes from Vene zuela indicates tho triumph of Presi dent Gomez over the uprising fomented by Cipriano Castro, the former dicta tor of that unhappy country. Tho world is gratified to read of this suc cess of General Gomez, and will be cvon more gratified when the final news comes, which it hopes for, that tho Castro insurgents have been cap tured or dispersed, and that Castro himself has boon given the short shrift that ho has so often given to others1, by being put up against a wall and shot to death. General Hernandez of Vonezuola, who is in this conntn-, speaks in the tit most contempt both of Gomez and of Castro. Ho says, that so far as the peoplo of Venezuela aro concerned, they are oquallj- in hard case whether Gomez or Castro wins; that what the country wants is not a succession of dictators or any change in the dicta tors, 'fbut a change in tho whole rot ten system." In this undoubtedly General Hernandez hits tho nail square ly on the head. The trouble in Vene zuela, and tho trouble in a good many other Spanish-American countries, is that the peoplo are as bady off with one dictator as another. The people in these countries are not used to ac tual republican govornmcut, even though their governments are nominal ly ropublican. But. the rcnl govern ment which they too often have is personal government, in which tho in terests of tho peoplo aro entirely sub ordinated to tho ambitions, avarice, and general greed of some plotting scamp of a domagogue, who is, able for tho time -being to overcomo his rivals, and either kill or banish them; and al though that sort of thing goes on yenr aftor year, and generally in tho name of popular rule, it is in fact nothing more than chaos, illuminated from tlmo to time by an occasional dictatorship that through olthor tho personal quali ties of tho dictator or because he sees tho advantages of treating tho peoplo decently, tho "people got a rest and are able to have a few years of quiet and comfort. Tho condition so aptly described by General Hernandos is a pretty fair de scription of Mexico also, from the time of its liberation from Spanish rule There has been, a succession of dicta tors, with practically no popular tuIc. Tho consoquence is that Mexico was fortunate in the accession of Porfirio Diaz to powor. for ho, though a dic tator, ruled under republican forms and had tho interest of his country and his people at heart. Under him Mex ica attained a progross and a prom inence that it never had before, and that it is not. likely to have again un til soino other strong man takes tho helm and putting down all rivals, sup presses tho fomenting .chaos that is too prone to pcrmcato throughout tho body of the people. EUGENICS HALT MATRIMONY, Tu speaking of tho mattor of eugenics, especriallj' as applied to the matter of requiriuc complete bills of health and - freedom from transmissible tendencies toward disease, wd have frequently suggested that too much rigor in that sort of thing is practi cally certain to bring immoralities that may be worse than the troublo sought to cure. When young people who aro strongly determined to mate aro deprived of the opportunity of 'legal and proper marriage, they are in many cases pretty apt to mate out side of legal marriage; and where the eugenics prohibitions would create a considerable body of population barred from regular matrimony, but deter mined to mate, tho scandal of such matings would presently pass away, and the community would look upon such irregularities with far less aver sion than now. and might perhaps even come to look upon them with toleration. For much is tolerated iu matters of that kind where Iaw con cerning them and community condi tions make toleration practically 'ob ligatory. An illustration of the suggestion re ferred to comes from Pennsylvania. Tho Legislature of that State re cently enacted what is called a "eu genics marriage law." That law re quires that applicants for licenses must show clean bills of health, freedom from disease and hereditary taints, and that, among other things, they must be able to remember the maiden names of their mothers. The report comes that in consequence of thin, many of tho .applicants for liceuscs do not remember the things required in the application, and hae to go to their rcJjitiv.ei t,o ct; tho information. j or invent unmcs and answers to Jit the case. The outcome of all this is that in Philadelphia only about fifty licenses a day aro now bciiijr issued, which ia less than half the usual number. But docs any ono believe that the sudden stoppage of more thnn 50 per cent in matings between young men and women has actually occurred? Wo find it impossible so to believe; and while it is too early to obtain sufficient proof of tho irregular matiuus that would naturally be expected under the cir cumstances and from tho returns had, the probability that proof of such Ir regular matings will develop later on ia cxtrcmoly likoh'. Ti is always well when enacting reforms liku this for legislative bodies to observe great caution and go slow, lest, the evils which they bring on turn out to be far wnrso than the evils that they would cure. FOR THE CONCRETE ROAD. All friends of jood roads will be cu cpuraged and gratified at the action of the Davis Count3r Comniissioners on Monday, in their voting to levy a spe cial five-mill road tax throughout that county for the purpose of mak ing a concroto road northward and southward to tho boundaries, to com plete tho proposed concrete road' bo twoon this city and Ogden. Such a road as that has been badly needed; properly laid, with perfect foundation, sufficient drainage, expertly shaped plans and heavy enough body, that road ought to bo a lasting one, ono worth while, smooth of surface and of oven grade. Thero boing no great, elevations between here and Ogdou, it will be one of the finest roads any where in tho United States, and will for many years to come be of im mense service to the farmers in mar keting their products, both in this city and in Ogden, The levy will furnish something more tha'ii $32,000 in ready cash taxes, and will release also $3600 from tho State road fund and $3(300 from the County road fund, these addi tions making a. total of .$39,200 fur nished chiefly by Davis county for this- road. It is a liberal provision, and doubt loss Salt Lake county and Weber county will tako steps at once to meet this broadminded provision of tho Commissioners of Davis county, and then tho work can bogin. at once, and reasonable hopes may be indulged in that by next year tho road will bo complotod aud will be a public high way of which the whole State will be proud; while the immediate advan tages of it will bo reaped first by the farmers of Davis county, and next by the inhabitants of Salt Lako Oity and Ogden; while tho automobile men will enjoy it as tho greatest! automobilo highway anywhere to bo found. It is understood that tho road will be sixtoen foot wide, that it will have a thoroughly sound foundation, and that it will be graded over the wet and crumbly places high enough to keep it always in first-class condition. It is a great work, well begun. HIS IRRITATING ACTS. Tt 6eems that "relief" is felt in Washington bocausc John Lind was allowed peaceably to go to Mexico City. The" must have queer notions down in Washington about Huerta. If there was any one thinjr on earth that was absolutely assured, it was tho safetj' of Mr. Lind in all his mis sion so ' far as Huerta could assure it. And tho courtesy with which ho will bo treated is a standing reproach to all unworthy susm'cion. nuerta took pains to wire that John Lind would be persona non grata in Mexico; but President Wilson porsisted in sending hinx. which is an intru sion that he would hardly be guilty of toward any government which is realis able to defend itself, However, Huerta may like Lind hotter after he gets ac quainted with him'. But it must grit tho Mexican authorities to see with what punctilious courtesy President Wilson makes inquiry of I'Juropean govcrnmcuts whether his proposed dip lomatic appointees will bo acceptable or not, apd calmls ignores Mexico's pro test against Lind. and sends him any how. But if Mexico is an independent nation, why isn't its protest just as effectual as- would be that of any of the independent nations? President Wil son keeps doing, things liku this, and 1 linn wonders at Moxh-oS irritation and charges that insidious, influences are at. work to bring on war between thib country and .Mexieo! RAILROADS WANT MORE PAY. Tho Clover Leaf railroad system lias given notice that at the end of sixn days it will refuse to carry IJ. S. mails, this because of the insufficiency of the pay for that service. The railroads gen erally have been making the same com plaint of insufficient pay and it is likely that the Clover Leaf roads have taken this initiative in behalf of all, though their contract with the gov ernment has yet two years to run. But because of the immense addition to tho bullc of the mails caused by the parcel post system it is claimed that tho burden has become too .heavy to be borne. In view of tho fact" that the U. S. Supremo Court liar uniformly hold in all 'litigation of this sort that required service shall not bo confisca tory or violative of fair remuneration the railroads can fairly hope for victory if they can establish as a fact that tho rates are riot fair. The "Clover Leaf" railroad re fuses to carry the U. S. mails at the old rate of compensation. This will raise the whole question aa between tho Government and the Tailroads; and it is high time this we're done, for the public is tired of henrinc loud and long protests which amount to nothing ns long as the roads do in fact carry the mails. As long as they do the work, thov may "protest and bo blpwed" so far as the short pay is concerned.
