will enter upon the regular canvass

State Gov Hawkins is a vigorous

not be necessary for him to consume
time in defense of his administration.
It needs none. It has been free
from scandal, and his worst enemies
are bound to admit that it is free
from corruption. He has discharged
the duties of his high Office with
dignity and ability. In his canvass
he will discuss questions in which all
the people of the entire State are
interested, and he will do it in such
a way as to command the respect of
men of all parties. All must admit
that his administration will compare
favorably with that of any of his
predecessors

New Variety OF Fish Story.
Utica Observer.

A New York man. now visiting in
Utica, tells large fish story. While
fishing recently he felt heavy tug
at his hook and gave a sudden jerk,
which broke the line. Having foated
around few minutes while his boat
man was adjusting another line, he
asked him to take him back to the same
spot. This, the boatman did as near
as he could, and our fisherman threw
out again After awhile he thought
his bait must have given out and
commenced to haul III. His line
seemed to entangled in what he
thought was a sea~grass. While
hauling up he felt a sudden jerk on
the line. Pulling. in he discovered
that what he had taken for sea grass
was his lost line which he had accis
dentally hooked into, and at the end
of it two and.,a,half pound bass,
which he succeeded in capturing
He declares that this is true, al =
though the boys call it fish story
and offer to prove it by the boatman.

Something More About Bulld0zer
HOuk.
Harpers Weekly.


Mr.. John b. Brownlow, a son of.
"Parson Brownlow," is a clerk in the
Post office Department. Mr.. Brown
low prefers another gentleman as
Representative in Congress to Mr..
/ Houk, the present Representative,
and he has said so. Thereupon Mr..
Houk writes him letter saying that
if he does not keep quiet he will
have him dismissed and sent home
to work Tor a living Mr.. Brownlow,
however. replies in a refreshing
declarat "a of independence. that he
would rather be DISTINGUISHED than
support SO unworthy Representa-
tive.
Mr.. Houk is member of Hubs
bells committee for raising CAM
paign funds by assessing public
clerks and employees and nurses and
messenger boys. The letter of Mr.
Houk to MIR. Brownlow shows that
he looks upon a government clerk as
a person subject to his dismissal.
Now when Messrs. Houk and Hubs
bell summon such clerk to give
them voluntarily two per cent. of his
salary, they know and he knows that
the gift is as voluntary as that of
travellers purse to a footpad.
Moreover, Mr.. Brownlow is a
public employe whose business it is
to attend In some capacity to the
transport and distribution of letters.
But because he prefers one man to
another in his own party as candi-
date for Representative in Congress-,
he is threatened with dismissal.
This state of things is one that de-
grades American citizenship, and
makes loss of self-respect the oondis
ton of public service. 1t is this
system, also, which makes assess
ments possible, and the name of
''office- holder, which should be as
honorable as that of lieutenant or
midshipman. half disreputable. And
this is the disgrace upon the Ameri-
can name which is to be removed.

'ho feel complimented with the fact

who feel complimented with the fact
that they are represented in Congress
by man who habitually absents
himself from his seat, and
goes reeling over the streets
of Washington, gets arrested for
disorderly conduct and lands in the
station house escorted by police~
man or who goes into his commit
tee room and soils the elegant car
pets in way that dog would be
ashamed of. There are few people
who would not feel ashamed of such
things, and when they become con-
vinced that their representative is
guilty of such beastly exhibitions of
himself, they will not be slow in rid
ring themselves of the disgrace
But there is another consideration
that should weigh heavier with the
voters than even this. They can
stand the unfavorable opinion of
strangers, but they cannot afford to
disgrace their children who have nc
voice in the matter, by honoring
such men with high positions. II
they do, they cannot be surprised OIL

The masses of the people IN the
Second Congressional District are
not concerned particularly about l..
G. Houk or his competitor, as indi~
viduals What concerns them is
the character of their Representative
in Congress. The character of a
people is judged to a greater or less
extent by the character of their
chosen Representatives in high
places. There are few men in the
world SO low as not to nave
decent regard for the good opine
ions of the world at large. They
desire the respect of even strangers.
Hence they would like to be repre-
sented, if possible, by men who res
spect themselves and have some re-
spect for decency and the proprieties
of life.

THE FOURTH.

The day we celebrate has gone,
and left nothing but pleasant mem
cries and brighter promise to the
citizens of Salt Lake. The occasion
was marked by the absence Of those
bitter animOsities and spiteful feel
ings which too often have charac-
terized public celebrations and cere-
monies hereabOut, and which are so
unpleasant TO most people and so
Ominous to 2 community bent on
building up a great commonwealth
on the frontier The speeches, songs,
sentiments and music were all pa
triotic and contained no offensive
slurs; they were all appropriate, and
nobody felt called upon to go out
side the Fourth, md indulge in per-
sOnal spite. insulting individuals
or classes. On the surface there was
nothing but harmony, thethousands
of people uniting in enthusiastic
and patriotic commemoration Of the
glorious events Of the last century
resulting from the declaration of
rights, the anniversary of which was
celebrated. To him who is familiar
with the affairs and people of Salt
Lake for the past dozen years, the
scene at Liberty Park on Tuesday
would be strange, and peculiarly
pleasurable, for he must have seen
there the mingling Of those who on
previous occasions of the kind were
"spoiling for a fight" and heard
nothing but proper and timely ex-
pressions from persons who not so
long ago in the past never thought
of speaking without saying harsh
things of others. The celebration
the other day had in it nothing of
the lion and lamb lying down toge-
ther; it was simply the meeting of
men and women in their sane and
civilized moods, and the extolIing of
famous events and mighty deeds.
that were brought about and per-
formed for the American people Of
all generations and not for a sect
or class. The Fourth belongs 10

Cared to accept of its great legacy,

better has been the occasion thar
in the past when orators have taker
advantage of the opportunity
to speak to scandalize the Declare.

sport Of the national brotherhood
that made it a success a hundred
years ago, by scattering the seeds O.
disunion and making harmony i'm

Now that the day has departed
who does not feel better for tn,
Liberty Park celebration? There
may be some who desired an old

its cuts and slashes, and making O.

there are any such, they ought tt
understand that the Fourth of july
is not for them, and that thos,
whose brave conduct distinguished
1T from all other days in the Ameri
