heads, simple travellers being divided as

Ter,
TheUnfortunate and Innocent Traveller,

"And last of allGf you please) The SEN
timental Traveller"
This is the classification of an hund-
red years ago, the classification of Sterne
in 176S. But things have changed since
then, and while the above list needs no
special changing, there may be added to
it another class of travellers-the official
pass class, a numerous and persistent
crowd, who deem favors rights and rights
favors.
The official passtravellers can be divided
into as many classes as Sterne divided
the travellers of his day into. Let us
make the attempt. They are er offcio pass
lers, with passes divided as follows:
/. Passes forwarded annually the first
of each year These follow the office and
not the man. If the pass does not follow
the office, the official follows the pass.
2. Passes which are originally for
trips only, with usual length of sixty
days. Evolution, aided by continual re-
quests and importuning, develops these
into ANIMALS of doubtful duration.
3. Passes usually granted upon request,
the request being recommended. The
recommend always brings the pass. The
recommend brings other things to pass
also.
A. Iasses granted because che may do
US some good; at least he'll be our
fricn. hey exist during good be-
ha' Or
5. Passes granted after much impor-
tuning and a full course of logic in which
the wonderful 'eat of making black ap-
pear white is performed.
6. Passes issued bi-ennially, for trips
only.
Z. Auxill.ety or secondary passes.
This class Cakes in a larger number than
all others, being to passes what the sun
dry items are to business.
Glass one includes:
The Governor of Utah Territory;
The Secretary OF Utah Territory;
The Judge of the 'irst Judicial District; ;
The Judge of the Second Judicial Dis
trict;
The Judge Of the Third Judicial District;
The United States Marshal for Utah;
The United States Attorney for Utah.
Class two includes:
The Delegate from Utah Territory,
sometimes found in class one on various
roads;
Assistant District Attorneys;
Clerks of the District Courts
Sheriffs of various counties;
Various army officers.
Class three includes:
Deputy Marshals;
Postmasters;
United States Land Office officials;
Probate Judges, who are occasionally
found in class two;
County Commissioners.
Class four includes:
Assessors and Collectors, School Trus-
tees, and those who are Gin F" with the
various officers.
Class five includes:
Lesser county and city officers.
Class six includes:
Members of the Legislature and visiting
statesmen.
Class eight contains too many to de-
scribe all, but it includes the families of
those found in class one; visiting friends
and such; in fact it includes all who have
no special reason to advance, save the
universal one, you do SO for this or that
one and why not for me?
1t is long list and shows many things
in very bad light. In the list will be
found no Cazots. Does any living person
suppose that these passes are issued on
any other ground than that they are
bread cast upon the water and after many
davs it will return? The general impress
sion is that all the prejudice created is in
favor of the railroads. This is not SO, for
many officials knowing the suspicion
which is apt to come from riding on
passes, are often induced to cater to the
popular prejudice and dare not be just.
Here is the great harm and evil, that the
acceptance of a pass units man to be
fair and impartial, and fairness and I'M
partiality in officials who execute or ad-
minister tho laws, are the safe guards OF
all laws, and of the public at large. If
