koUNTz, .CoM16ANDER-IN-cHIET OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, has IS
sued a general order reminding the
comrades that, though no citizens have
q higher right than they to express
freely their political opinions, or take
part in the campaign as their convic7
tons shall dictate, the Grand Army of
the Republic is strictly non-partisan;
that the organization can not be used
for partisan purposes; that no discus
sion of partisan questions or nomina-
ton for political Office can be permitted
at its meetings. The wearing of a
Grand Army badge or uniform at any
political meeting, the commander-in-
chief declares to be in the highest de-
gree improper; and an offense against
the spirit of the rules and regulations
of the organization. We take it that
this order means just what it does not
say. Whatever the constitution and
bylaws of the G. A. r. may declare
with reference to politics and the poll
teal action of the organization, it was
partisan in its inception and has been
partisan in its management, operations
and sympathies ever since. If the G.
A r. should be non-partisan in this con
test it would be doing something that it
had never done before.

TIE ENGLISH government has made
up its mind to again coerce the impu-
dent Beers into showing proper respect
for the great and glorious power of
Great Britain. It will be remembered
that & few years ago England was sorely
annoyed and greatly wearied by these
same impudent, insignificant Beers,
and sent an army to TransYaal to teach
the insulting Dutch a lesson in polite
ness. Improbable as it may seem in the
light of the disproportionate strength
and coerciYe power of the two, the
Beers refused to be taught, and objected
with such stubbornness and correct aim
with their rifles, that the English were
actually compelled to make an honor
able peace with the little band Of free
farmer fanatics. The Beers were fight
ing for their liberty and their rights,
and the British for wages, and the con-
sequence was the Beers did much the
best fighting. All lovers of freedom and
human rights, viii unite in the hope that
England will again be defeated in her
determination to crowd If not conquer
the brave little republic that has been
able so long to maintain itself,
surrounded by envious barbarians and
Christians in Africa.

REwARDING THE GUILTY.


If q merchant were to detect one of
his salesmen stealing, if he did not
punish and prosecute the thief. he
would at least discharge the guilty
man, for self-protection When honest
bank directors learn that cashier
teller or other employee, is stealing the
banks funds, they make it impossible
to steal from them again. In private
business and affairs generally, the thief
the defaulter, the vioIator OF trusts and
confidence are relieved by their en-
pioyers as soon as their delinquencies
and dishonesty are discovered, and the
seoundrels are published and branded
SO that their field for swindIing and
demanding viii be limited as much as
possible. In governmental matters.
municipal, state and national, the same
course should be pursued with reference
to the employees or servants. These
are simply social and business corrup-
lions, organized, held intact and man
aged by communities for the benefit of
the people. Much the same rules apply
to these IS 10 other corporations and

ernments everybody IS q stakeholder

THE LIBERALS VICTIM.


TER HERALD expresses its sympathy,
which runs to the degree of sorrow, for
Captain Ransford Smith, of Ogden. We
have always entertained more or less
regard for the gallant captain. He
weighs something over two hundred
pounds ayoirdupois, and man of such
dimensions is calculated by nature to
inspire respect for himself in ordinary
mortals. The big captain also has the
appearance of one who INDUCES fire.
quently in the healthfuI pleasures of the
both, and if there is anything in law or
politics calculated to excite in the OBJ
server feeling of respect for the object
of his observation it IS a clean man.
And more also, the big and clean cap
tain evidently enjoys the exquisite
luxury Of having an artistic tailor.
What more pleasing spectacle can be
presented to the eye, than that
of large, clean man well
tailored7 All these visible signs and
tokens have naturally combined and
conspired to excite rather higher than
lower regard for Captain Smith. In
view of what he seems to be, we could
wish that he had been christened
otherwise, both front and back. His
first name is liable to be punned upon
by the paragraphists, inviting, as it
does, only q INSTRUMENTATION to make
it sound perfectly awful as the Vas
sar graduate would say; and his last
cognomen IS SO common that it is not
at all suggestive Of the proportions, the
cleanliness or the tailoring of the gentle
men. Smith IS as liable to mean
a little, knock-kneed, round-shouldered
droop-eycd chap, peddling needles
and pins or garden sass, as to apply to
military man of great proportions and
marked beauty. And Rancid Smith
oh I! how inconsistent and inharmonious
nature and his forefathers have been to
the captain. /
But We are sorry for Captain Ransford
Smith, and sympathize with him way
down in the depths of our heart of
hearts. The Captain has been nomi-
mated by the Liberals for Delegate to
Congress. It is possible that something
worse could have happened to the brave,
clean Captain Smith, but what that
something might have been we now
have neither the time nor the DISPOSE
ten to search the field of the probable
to discover. What makes the matter
worse is the fact that the captain
doesn't seem to understand the nature
or the magnitude OF the ter
rible disaster that has befallen him.
1t is sad, tits deplorable in the extreme
to see disaster of such an awful char
acter and proportions overtake one vet
in the prime of life, and before whom a
reasonably bright and honorable career
was spread.
TIE HERALD could have wished that
all this might have been otherwise; it
could have desired that a less brave, less
massive, less clean, less well-dressed |
man had been sacrificed, but Liberal I
indecency and the captains mis-
directed vanity, have willed it thus, and
We must content ourselves with our
sorrow and bear up under our own load |
OF grief.
