Candidates Who do, not Seem 10 Mhnt - =
The, Charges.
The contest Tor the Wheeling postothee
continues TO aeitate the faithfni. Picket
firing was brisk all day yesterday The
candidates and their friends were very
much annoyed because the ISrELtlcEScER
had got wind Of the charges which have
been prepared against Postmaster Sterling.
A volunteer detective force was at work
to tindiout whotook OF the cover. The
publication was regarded Us placing q
serious obstacle in the way Of Postmaster
Sterling's removal, because II gives him Q
chance. however slight Y may be, to de-
iend his works before the enemy carries
them. The highly dignified attitude Of
some Of the candidates with respect 70
these charges has made some very bad
feeling among active Democrats. This
was partly shown in Q talk which an In:
rEtLIGENcER reporter had with friend OF
Mr.. ]. j. Woods.
1some Of these candidates, Ssaid Mr..
Woods friend, "are behayingyery strange
" about the charges. How do they ex-
pect 10 get in unless they get Sterling out?
They know he can't be gotten out without
charges. Everybody knows that is the
policy Of the Administration. There was
q feeling in the party here that so big a
plum as the postoffice ought to 20 to q
worthy Democrat. But nobody would 60
to work. Finally, after there had been a
good deal Of rambling talk about prefer
ring charges, Joe Woods said he would
put in shape such charges as might be
brought to him. He did not 60 hunting
up charges against Sterling, but he
gave prcsentable form TO those
that were brought TO him. think you
will find that they look very well as they
are now. Joe Woods did this for the
party, not in the interest OF any one can
didate, and yet 1t was for the benefit Of all
Of them. Now some OF these fine haired
fellows rush to the front and declare that
they have no sympathy with any such
work. From what have heard in the last
twenty-iour hours don't think any OF
them want the postotfice. There is Bob
Simpson; he can't tell enough people that
he never desired the office; that
he only CAME out when his friends
hitched six-mule team to Z him
and dragged him out. That didn't
keep him from making his little
trips down TO Washington Just the same,
and acting in other ways like a real candi-
date. Now, II were Joe Woods I'd tear
up those charges, and let those goody-
goody fellows fix up charges for them
selves"
The reporter suggested that It would be
much better to give those charges to the
public, that everybody might know upon
what grounds the removal was asked.
For some reason this suggestion did not
take well. From what has been learned
of the charges, some OF thentare SO friyol-
Gus that they would make funnier read.

why He selected Repubiicans TO Help In
HIS worh-The Hamplhife Afair:
An IsrE1lieRNcHR reporter found In

Custom House yesterday and asked him
what lie had to say about the Hampshire
county indignation proceedings.
~ have but little, II anything, 70 say,
replied Mr.. McGraw, Sin reference to the
action OF some Of my party friends over in
Hampshire. In fact, they don't seem to
want to know the exact status Of tue mat.
tiers about which they complain. They
don't ask any questions, but draw their
own conclusions by a violent construc-
ton OF my official acts, and without ask
ing or wanting TO know, seemingly, any
thing about the matter, pursue their own
course, and that in rather an extraordl-
nary way:
DUTY FIRST.
'The first matter involved in this office
Is the properand efficient discharge Of its
duties. This Is matter personal 10 me,
and those who have less interests at stake
may find captious reasons for uniayorable
criticisms, but those who will think for
an instant will, I feel assured, justify my
conduct. Those gentlemen ought 10 know,

be met, in Washington and Webster also,
unlessw We provide elsewhere for our gram.
mar pupils.
Foufthr-Ae now organized, our graEli-
mar schools are expensive out of al pro-
portion to the other departments. We
are now employing o principal and two
teachers in each Of the seven grammar
schools, 10 instruct about 1856 pupils, 80 to
90 in each district. The total cost Is
81, sos. II we omit the whole Of the
principals salary-which Is scarcely fair,
since much OF his time Is spent in this
department estill are paying 81, S15, a
cost per pupil Of more than so, taking
the average Of the whole city but in the
smaller districts the cost per pupil is over
$50 per annum.
Fifth-Eyery year, almost the entire
time and energies OF one grammar teacher,
on a $500 salary, and much OF the time
and energies Of the principal also, are de-
voted to drilling the graduating class,
probably sometimes TO the neglect Of the
other classes, each principal being ambi.
tious to have his pupils make the highest
average in the final examinations. In
two OF the schools this yea: are two gradu-
ates each, in one three, In two four, in
one Eve, and In one thirteen. The time,
money and energy expended are thesame
in the schools graduating two pupils as in
that which this year turns out thirteen;
and certainly the total thirty.thfee gtadu.
ates, II In one building, could and would
receive the same instruction as now, and
at no greater cost during their final school
year, than Is now incurred in each Of the
two districts in graduating two pupils.
In other words We are now paying sixteen
times more than Is necessary, for the final
years instruction for these two pupils.
GREATER EFFICIENCY SECURED.
From the considerations now presented
Il seems 10 me TO be clear that proper
grading and efficient teaching in the pr.
mary departments demand that we shall
provide additional rooms in which to
teach.
Itseems cquallyclear that more efficient
teaching and better progress will be Sc
cured by putting all the grammar pupils
into one building. A pupil in class Of
thirty or forty will certainly have greater
incentive to study than one who plods his
way almost alone. The teacher, too, who
teaches only those branches for which he
Is especially qualified, as would be the
case in union school, will be better able
to impart instruction in these than II re-
quired to teach all branches as now.
Again, with the establishment Of a union
school the rivalry between tho different
districts ends-a rivalry unfortunately fos-
tered by this Board, which provided a
prize to be contested for, an net which in
my judgment was productive of greater
evil than good. There being no rivalry
those not in the graduating class will re.

at the meeting Of the Board last nigh.
the report OF theapecial committee to con.
slider and report upon the Availability Of
establishing q union grammar school was
presented and discussed at some length.
Action upon 1t was, however, deferred
till the next regular meeting. In adyo.
eating the project, DR.. Jepson made the
following strong and clear presentation Of
the matter;
For several years past we have discussed
the proposition now brought before the
Board for the third time, Wig: the exnedi.
ency OF consolidating the Gfammarschools
OF the city. Personally ! have given to
this question much thought, endeavorine
seriously and honestly to determine what
the best public Interests demand. In sens
timent, as many OF you know, / am OPP
posed to a "higher education" Of the few
being provided at tho expense OF the
many, and have In this Board voted to re-
move from the school course Of study As
tronony, Botany and other books that
seemed to be Unnecessary and ! as yet
see no cause for regretting that action. In
now expressing my conviction that q
union Of the Grammar departments oil our
sclioolsis q public necessity, therefore, I
am influenced by no dcsire to SEQ q High
School proper established, although under
our present school law, we must give that
name to central or union Grammar
school, II one DO organized.

Allthe older members Of this Board are
acquainted with the following facts which
Ivcnture To recall;
Fint-For year, past most Of our school
houses have been too smallto supply the
demands made upon them. Madison,
Clay, Union and Richie districts have all
been compelled TO secure rooms addition.
al, while in Washington and Webster
basement rooms have been fitted up,
which are, in my judgment, totally unit
for children to occupy.
Second-The crowding in tho lower
rooms compelled by this state OF things
uecessltates speedy promotion to higher
grades, this not seldom occurring before
the pupils are prepared TO advance, and
thus thorough education Is rendered
difficult or impossible. More than one
parent Inns complained to me personally Of
this evil.

UTAH'S BEST CROP.

In other days Utah's best crop was said
to be children; to-day Utah's best crop is
martyrs. The latest addition to this
already long list is Editor Hemenway, of
the Ogden Herald. In last nights issue
of his paper was genuine martyr article.
from which We extract as follows:
His primary object was to establish. upon
granite foundation, a journalistic concern
that might add to the significance and i'm
portanoe of Ogden and lead the van of
social, intellectual and commercial PROGRESS
IN the Junction City of far-famed Utah. His
profoundly sympathetic nature led him to
feel warmly for the oppressed, wroneed.
aspersed and subjugated Mormon people.
and he took upon himself the precarious and
laborious task of defending their rights and
liberties, and denounced in scathing criti-
clsms the miserable and petty minions of
tyranny who were and are seeking to rivet
the chains of bitter slavery upon them. 4
They have attempted to crush him and for
this purpose have resurrected the hitherto
obsolete law of criminal libel and drawn its
cold tolls with the animus of unusual malice
around him. But already their operations
have virtually defeated the very purpose
they had in view. Convicted by the spas
modic execution of the libel law and over
whelmed with a tide of villainous abuse,
Editor Hemenway finds that the very estab-
lishment of his guilt, though legal, was
