,oi,l Dispatcb to the Globe. Democrat.

! Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
SALT LAKE, L. T., November 1.-THE
Idaho and Utah Stock Growers association,
in session at Ogden, to-day passed the follow.
ing!
Resolved, That the Representatives of the
stock interests of Utah and Idaho express our
preference for Gen. James s.. Brisbin, Of the
United States army, for president of the cat.
tlemens' convention to be held at st. Louis
on November 18th, and will use our best en-.
deavors to secure his election.
The stock. growers of Idaho and Utah
must be hard up for material for a repre-
sentative when they endorse our own
"irrepressible Jim" for president of the
national cattle convention, or else they
are not very well acquainted with that
inveterate and indiscriminste inkslinger.
They have evidently been deceived in
that mountebank. The idea of having
GrasShopper Jim to preside over the
national cattle convention is enough to
make a Texas steer go mad with indigna-
ton. 1t is Nighttime for that literary
quack, who writes 80 many original arti-
cles from the encyclopedias, quack-
books, and w~ar.records, to take a back
seat and devote more of his valuable
time to the regulations of the army. Jim
Brisbin's gall puts the cheek of a govern
ment mule as much in the shade IS the
electric light looms up above a tallow
candle.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. S.-The
effect of a change of administration on
the employees of the government is now
the most interesting question here. Ac'
cording to the report of the civil.service
commission there are in all about no..
0C0 persons holding Office in the United
States, $4,000 of whom are post masters,
1000 are in the railway mail service, and
1000 in the internal revenue service out.
side of Washington, the rest being
divided among customs and consular ser.
vice and officers and clerks of congress
and the federal courts. A large proper.
ton of the whole, however, are classed
as laborers. Committing within the
provisions OF the civil-service laws and
being protected thereby are three classea
as follows:
5,652 department employees receiving
salaries from 5000 to 81, 800 per
annum.
$500 postal employees receiving from
$500 to $500 per annum, and
1913 customs employees receiving from
5000 to $3.50 per annum.
In the three branches OF the classified
service there are, therefore, about ID, 900
places that can be filed by
competitive examination only. This
leaves the large number of
$1,000 persons subject to removal,
more than half Of whom are oficeholders.
In Washington the changes will not, it is
believed, reach 500.
This will include the higher officials,
chiefs, messengers, and laborers.
In addition to those appointed by the
president and subject to confirmation by
the senate, whose removal is possible,
are the following:
/. The confidential clerk or secretary
of any head of department or office.
2. Cashiers of collectors.
3. Cashiers of postmasters.
4. Superintendent of m~oney-order di.
visions In p~ostofices.
5. The direct c%ustodiens of money of
whose fidelity another officer is under
official bond.
s. Persons employed exclusively in the
secret service of the government or as
translators, interpreters or stenograph-
ers.
7. Persons whose employment is ex-
clusively professional.
8. The chief clerks, deputy collectors,
and superintendent or chiefs of divia.
ions or bureaus.

More Railroad Competition

Chicago Tribune.
Another ''last spike" was driven Sat-
urday. This last spike was that which
ended the "Oregon Short Line" by
which the Union Pacific, bending up
wards from its main line at Granger,
connects by a new line of 800 miles in
length withthe Observation-Disclosures
Company's road near Walla Walls, on
the Columbia river. and secures an en-
trance into the rich regions of Oregon
and the Pacific northwest. No f%estivi.
ties were INDUCED in on the occasion.
like the quiet driving of the last spike
some weeks ago on Huntington's South
esn Trauscontinental line, the laying of
the last rail on this new highway was
treated as a simple business proceeding,
and only another step forward in the
'inevitable confist" between our great
railroad corporations across the contin-
ent.
The same day which brought the an
nouncement Of the completion of this
"Oregon Short Line" we were given the
news by our Montreal correspondent that
negotiations were in progress for the con-
~solidation of the Canadian Pacific and
the Montreal Ocean Allen Line Shipping
| Company. The effect of this union
would be to give the Canadian Pacific
steamer connection with Asia on the west
and Europe on the east, and to make it a
most formidable competitor for all the
transportation business that moves along
the endless line it covers. The Allen
Steamship Company, which would attend
TO the water end of this combination, has
a feet OF thirty ocean steamers, and is
one Of the most shrewdly and economi-
cally managed companies on the ocean
The railroad, built with cheap steel rails,
and cheap labor, and with the most gen.
erous government aid, is, with its access
TO the United States by water on the Pa
cifc coast and by the Great Lakes, well
fitted TO become a very important factorin
the railroad business across the continent,
as it assuredly will.
Evidently from these facts it is not ut
all necessary to wait for the completion
Of the Niagara canal to enjoy lower rates
for transcontinental travel and traffic.
The Union Pacific now enters Oregon
and Washington as a serious competitor
Of the Northern Pacific. The Central
Pacific il there always as a competitor.
The Canadian Pacific with Its fleet of AL.
len Line steamer will be there IS soon
ss it's last apike is driven, The steamers
of tho Northern Pacific running 30 San
Francisco make it a competitor there of

The refusal of ex-Marshal Guthrie to
testify against ex-Mayor Chase caused
not a little surprise, az Guthrie had testi-
fed before the grand jury, and it was on
his testimony that the indictment was
found. Although Colonel Chase has es.
capped the ~penitentiary, any sympathy
now for Guthrie will be misdirected.
Having testified in the grand jury
room, and having refused to tes.
tify in open court, he deserves
no sympathy. IF he told the truth be-
fore the grand jury, he certainly ought
TO have testified upon the trial. The
proof that there was collision between
Chase and Guthrie exists In the fact that
all the appeals and the prayers of the
best people of Omaha, as well as of the
newspapers, were unavailing In the effort
TO have the mayor emove the marshal al
though the evidence against the marshal
was overwhelming. Colonel Chase, how
ever, has already. been quite severely pun
ished by his impeachment and removal
from Office by the city council, and by
his indictment by the grand jury. The
lesson taught is n that will not be for
gotten for years to come.

THERE is something very peculiar in
the proposed scheme of letting the con-
tract for $4,000 yards Of paving before
winter sets in. In the first place no
more paving can be done this year, and
therefore there should be no hurry about
it. In the next place we should know
on what streets this paving Is to be done,
so that we could decide what material
will be the most suited to the location.
No contract should be let until next
spring for the reason that very material
changes are needed in the law regarding
paving taxes. Up to the present time we
have { divided the paving tax into
1--WE yearly installments, and FIVE
year bonds have been Issued
to cover the whole cost.
1t strikes us that 1t would be advantage.
GUS both to the city and taxpayers to
have the law amended 80 as to provide
for the issuance Of ten.year instead Of FIVE.
year bonds. This will give the property.
owners ten years in which to pay the paw.
ing taxes, and they will hardly feel the
burden. Such a change will enable III
to pave our residence streets and extend
the paving system to the outskirts of tn,
city, whore the people of moderate mean
reside. The tax ON the five year install
ment plan would make 1t a hardship on
great many poor people, some of whom
nigh: have to part with their littl'
homes, whereas the tax to be paid in tel
years could be borne without any serioui
inconvenience. Ii the Douglas count!
delegation can agree in this matter, ther'
will be no trouble in getting an amend
ment through the legislature in amplI
time for letting contracts for paving tina
IL 70 be done the coming year.
