AN Army OF I'm.

Below we publish list OF those
PERSONS, male and female. who are
saiu in Washington dispatch to
have filed written applications for
appointment as members OF the
Utah commission. This list rams
only until the 18th, since which
time perhaps few score more have
added their names to the army of
seyenty-one listed below, especially
as the cabinet has been considering
the matter of commissioners during
the week. In locking over the list,
and especially the Utah section, we
cannot but feel that President Ar
thur is entitled to the gratitude of
the people of the territory for saying
he will appoint no applicant for a
place on the commission. 1t is pUs'
sible several of the names men
toned are wrongfully on this list
of pap hunters. We know of at
least one name that should not be
on this roster. We refer to that of
Captain Hooper. Mr.. Hooper has
been frequently mentioned in the
newspapers as probable commits
sioner, but he is in no sense an appli-
cant for a place that under the
most favorable circumstances that
can be imagined will be full of trOu-
bic, annoyance and vexatiOn Of a
peculiarly worrying character. The
fact that he has been so often spoken
of in connection with the office I'M
doubtedly accounts for the mention
of his name in the telegraphed list.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
gentleman is not a bidder for the
hard work, severe criticism and
small pay of a commissioner, we
would nevertheless be delighted
with his nomination, and beIieye
no better selection could be made
by the President; and further, are
confident that all classes Of Utah
people would be better pleased with
him than with pretty nearly any
resident in the territory. While
there are, evidently, a good many
scrubs among the persons named
below, a very fair commission of
five could be found in the seventy
one. How would Captain Hooper,
Prof. L. E. Holden, Miss Phoebe
Cousins, Ex-Governor McCook, of
Colorado, and "Old' Flanagan, of
Texas, do? But here is the self
