The dog inthe manger policy of the other two ambitious towns only proves the truth of theold fable. THE annual report of the Utah com- mission flatly contradicts the claim that the Mormon church had abandoned polygamy asa tonet of its croed, During the pendency of the Idaho admission bill in congross, several Mormon bishops publicly assorted this change had been determined on, and urged it as an argu- ment in favor of the rejection of the Mormon disfranchising cliuse in the state constitution. The commission points out that the church nsa body does not even contemplate the sbandon- ment of poiygamy, and that assertions tothe contrary wore made for politicl effect. It is to be regrettod that the radicals persist in upholding a socinl systom which not only shocks public sentiment but brings o deluded people nto direct and distressing confliot with thelaws of the land. That polygamy will be extirpated is only a question of time. The evil has heen driven into secrecy, and its final dostruction is cor- tain. Werethe leaders of the church animated with honest purposes they would put the church in accord with the spirit of the age and join with the E.munmlvo olements of Utah in con- ibuting to the moral and material ‘wolfare of tho whole people, AND THE A LLIANC Domocratic organs are endeavoring to make capital for thelr party with the farmers by claiming that the demoerae; has everywhere manifestod sympathy with the demandsof the allinnces, while the republican party has uniformly shown hostility to those deminds and antagoni the aims and purposes of the farmers® organization. These organs point to the fact that in severalof the southern states democrtic representatives in congress have been relused a renomination bocawe they were distasteful to thoallisnce and men ccted who were satisfactory to the s, the inference of courss boing inall such cases the democrats had muade the on. The hollownessof this claim is easily shown. In the fivst place the men chosen to suceced present democratic ropresn- tatives in congross from the south by rewson of the influsnce of the alliance, are without exception, so far as we are aware, thomsclves demo- crats. Some of them are identi- fied with the agricultural interest, hut they ave nono tholess in sympathy with the genoral policy and principles of the demoeratic paety, which thoy are sim- ply willing to enlarge by the addition of certain demands of thesouthernfarmors, cry one of these men will be found as faithful to democracy us the mon whom Il succced, In all thess cases, . there has beon merelyan ex- chunge of demoerats, and no reasonible mun will doubt for o moment that if this not the fact the allinnce would in no instance have roceived the asistaies of democratsnot in that org Butit isto e obsorved that in most notall these cases theallimnee was n a position to dictate terms and did so. T'he bestevidencoof the true fecling of the democratic organiztionin the south toward the alliance was supplied in the courso pursied by the democrcy toward Captain Tillman, the al- liance candidate for govemor in South Carolina. S0 exasperated wore the democratic managers that Tillman's life was threatened, and the fact that he finally reccived the demo- cratic endorsement was ¢ inly due to no love of the straight-ovt democrats forr thealliunce. The teuth s there isno instanceof the democracy of any con- gress districtin the south making any concession 1o the allianco that it was notcompelled to make. Wherover the democratic organization has been strong cnough to do ns it pleassd the alliance has received littloor no consideration Democratic professions of iuterestin thewelfare of the farmor ave every- where tobe valued aceording to the oxi- gency that confronts that party. The alliince movement in the south thre ened to disrupt the demoeracy of that section and put anend to its solidavity, hence the effort in some guartersto piacate the farmers by a pretonss of sympathy with their demands. In the nouth the professed solicitudo of the democracy for the farmors Is prom pted solely by consideration of party suceess, and camnot be depended upon to lastbeyond the achievement of success. In neither section s there any sincority or hon in theso professions. Moun- while the republican party, while frankly disapproving thoso demands which it believes would be mischiovous in their effects and injurious to the whole people, maintainsits record as the friend of the Jagricultural inter and everywhere venews its pledgo lo insist that those interests shall by faitly and justly protected. Cconeess RADING PAYME 8 At the inception of stroot pwingin Omaha, the advocates of progressive pub- lic works encountered and judiciously solved the one serious problem. Tho cost of paving at the outset wis one- third greater than at the present time. To foree abutting property ownors to pay the full cost in a lunp sum was not prac- ticable nor desirable. Five-year bonds were issied and the cost divided into five equl amual py- ments. This wise provision of the charter was later amend- ed und the cost of these essential public improvements distributed overa series of ten yenvs. The wisdomof this system of gradunl payments is scen in themiles of paved s inter ing and extending inall cetions, It is an unquestioned faet that property owners could not have withstood the tremendous tax for public works had they been lorced to pay the total cost on complotion of the work. “To the extended payment plan mustbe credited the groater part of the maryel- ous progress in public worlss mado in the last ten years, Itenabled the author- ties to carry on atthe same timen con- prehensive system of surfaco water and sanitary sewers and an oqually extensive ystem of street opening and grading. The burdens thus imposed would have swampedia loss encrgetic and entorpris- ing people, yot the record shows thut Omaha property owners have met these extraordinary obligations promytly, in uddition to the regular taxes, These splendid results give force to the suggostion that the charter be amended 80 1s to include the cost of strect grading in the ton year paymant plan. With fow exceptions ll import- ant streets have been brought to grado, leaving side strects to be cared forin the'future. Under the present systom the amount of grading done in any one yearis limited by the sum the council setsapart to pay the ¢'ty’s half of the The demand for reduced taxes will neeessavily make the street grad- ing fund small, so that no broad systen can be devised and suecessfully car ried out. ‘Lhe south and western sections of the city require an oxtensive system of street gruding. It would be unjust, oven if it was possible, to exact tho total costin & limp, Public poliey suggests the inauguration of the installment plan, which will enable the authorities to form grading disticts and Pros- ocute] a system of improvemonts swhich will * not impoverish the homo builders. Ten annul payments, at a lov rmte of interest would not only largely Increse the en- ployment of labor, but would emable lot owners to grade, leveling the hills and filling the hollows, and make the broken sections of the suburbs attractive and valuable for residence, besides immedi- THE BEE s confident that the applica: tion of the installment plin to grading would provens groeat abemefit to thecity and to property owners asit has demon: strated in other public works, THE OLD FAMLEAR AIR. President Miller of the Milwaukee roul lanents the groving public snti- ment for raillroad regulation, and inti. males that o “‘chinge canhardly be ex. pected intil hostility o rail ways ceases tobe a short roule t political profer- ment.”” Mr, Millor’s sentimgnts breathe the old familiar . Even in timos when the corporations entrolled the entire machinery of statogovernments, the cry went out that they were op- presedand menawced by politiel adven - turers. [ndeod th imagined that the public lad formed & vast conspiracy against the railoads, and this fo ng waskeptalive by the hovle of political lackeys vho fattened on the fears of the managers. Publicsentiment has not changed in this sedion, Ttls the sunenow as it hasheen for twenly years, vigilintly do- termined to compel the corpomtions to their j of publicburdens sivhanids off political af- > antagonisms anusel arodue to the grasping grecl of the corpra- tions, to their dombeering methods, andth nesto the oy of the produ wonable mtes wo the matkets of the world, The peo- ple of the west hwve a 1ight to a share of the poducts of their Labor, and are fully justitiol inoxerling thelr powersto bring whouta chinge for the better. When the corporations show a disposition to deal fairly and honorably with the pople, the people willreciprocate in kind. THE SUGAR PROBLEM, Thereis much divenity of opinion, or rather inthesurmises, as to what sort of an ugreementthe conferees on the tarift bill will reach regarding the sugar schedule, Ttis quite genemily conceded that there will beno difficulty in agree- ing upon therecinocity policy provided forin the semte amendment tothe bill, thoigh the terms of the amendment may be modifled s asto avoidthe con- stitutionl objection, hut onthe question of the dividmg line between froe and dutinblo sugar there may be prolonged controversy, and it is suggested as probability that cach house may again haye an opportunity o vole independ- ently on the sugar duties. “The house twifl bill,as all interested in this subject are aware, proposel to admit free allsugars up to No. 16 Dutch standard, he smate amendment pro- vides for 4 dity on all grades above No. 13, the limit, ac- corvding to commercial usige, botween rawandrefited sugars, This action of thesenale has been protty freely criti- cisedas in the interst of the sugar trast, and this objetion will very likely be strongly wged in the conferenco by those members who favor free sugar to the extent provided forin the house bill. Thetheory upon vhich the house sehed- ule vas made was thal it would be ai- reetly inthe interest of consumors toad- mit free grades between No, 13 and No. 16, becawse they are availible fordo- mestic use, being partially refined. but it was said inveply to this that their colorwould exclude them from genoral use. Awother argument advanced against deawing the line of freo sugars at No. 16 was, thatit would havo the ef- fectto exclude the canosugirs of those countries which donot have modern ma- chinery, and this incudes all oxcopt Cubaandsome of the English colonies. Onlythe beetsugars which could be ad- mitted free would como here, which of course would be fatal to the scheme of trado rec iprocity with the southern sugar-prolucing countries, Thereare so muny important consid- erations involved in this problem nsto render itdeciledly pevploxing, and the probbility that thesolution will be found in some sort of & compromise. tillanother mattor which is likely to receive further discusion is the pro- posed bounty to sugar producers, This has been stewlily opposed by the pro- ducers on theground thatit could not be mude perminent, and it appers they are now prepired to show ligures as to its operation which will ot o likely to strengthen thebounty pln in popu- lar favor, *The object lesson immedi- ately belre us isthe treatmentof the sugar question,” said Mr. Blaine in his late letter, and obviously it is the most puzzling and diflfeult lesson our statos- men have had todeal with ina v long time, THEREaAppears to be quite as much interest folt in nad , regarding our tarif logislation asamang ow own peo- vle, and thereis reisonto lelieve that the political cffect upon our northern neiglbors may become very marked. In discussing thetrado relations betwoen the Unitel States and Canada John MacDonald adnitted thit the proposod tariff would be detrimental to Canadu’s interests, but e said t he fault of sueh a result could not be attriluted to Canada, and he repeated a statenent previousiy made by another member of the Can- dian government, that for years offorts had been made by the differmt govern- ments of Camda to secure improved tracdo relations between the two countries, This is doubtless in part true, but how often have these ovortures been of anature that gave them a elaim to the attention of this government? Moreover, those who would relieve Can- ada of all responsbility in this matter may havesoms trouble to oxplain the palpibly unjust discrininationsof hor present tariff against the United States. It is perhaps wfortinate that neighbor- ing countries should be pitied against cachother in commercial warfare, but the fault is not all on one side. As to political efects, it Is woported that the mnnexation question is again becoming one of the live issues In Camdaand is making great hesmdway, That is an issue, howover, which will weceive very little e ncouragement from the peopleof this countr — AIBUQUERQUE, the leading town of New Mexico, caims the prize for the largest per cent of incrase in popula- tion.
