THE Tribune says: 1.-The present
salaries tend to drive poor and honest
men out of the service and give all the
Offices to rich men or rogues." 1t is
pretty well understood that THE
HERALD is not overcome with its ad-
niration for the Federal force in Utah,
but it has never yet said so mean.a
thing as the above OF the little army of
ofice-holders in this Territory. The
fullforce of the Tribalne's assertion is
felt when it is understood thatevery
Federal office-oficer mere is poor, or
was poor when he accepted the position.

The chief duty of Territorial Exec
utiYe'is to serve with all his ability and
fidelity the people of the Territory. =
This is one truth that the Tribune has
uttered, but it nullihes and destroys its
effects by uttering itin connection with
praise for Governor Murray. We defy
any man to point to single instance or
occasion where Murray has served the
people of Utah with any ability. He
has been the Governor of petty faction
which he has served with fidelity and
all the ability he possesses; but he has
been the enemy of the people, and done
all IN his power to annoy. injure and
perseeute them. He signalized his en-
trance to the Territory by insult
ing the people, and has never
since permitted an occasion when
he could abuse the people to pass
-~'hont taking advantage of it, Out
81 ie sthe little coterie of persons who
are notorious for their enmity to the
people OF Utah, where can a man be
found who will say that he regards
Murray as his friend, or that the Gov
ernor has iabored for the best interests
Of The Territory? Who, even among
those who are openly lighting the Utah
community, viii say that MURRAY has
no. been q positive detrment TO the
Territory The TribH,le's '.gall'' is
something awful to contemplate, and
the above as laudation for Governor
Murray IS the quintessenee of bitterness.

Fully one-eighth of the Presi>

straight and square retreat from an

Mr.. EDMUNDS' DEFEAT.

His Campaign Ended and He Has Failed
to Convince Even the Senate That He Is
Right.
Senator Edmunds has finished his
campaign on the Duskin resolutions,
and has won doubtful victory. He
has succeeded in securing their adop-
ton by one majority in the absence of
a Democratic successor to the late Mr..
Miller, of California. The substantial
results of the long discussion, which,
on the Republican side depended al
most wholly for it's force and dignity
upon Mr.. Edmunds himself, are about
as doubtfully balanced as was the vote
on the resolutions. Mr.. Edmunds has
not succeeded in convincing the coun-
try that the President should share the
power of removal with the Senate, or
that the Senate had just claim to the
papers Bearing on suspensions simply
because they were ''filed'' in the de-
partments, but attention has undoubt-
edly been drawn, in a very marked de-
gree, to the great advantage the civil
service would gain by having all pro-
ceedings in connections with nomIna-
tions, except to places of a peculiarly
confidential character, made matter
of accessible record. On the other
hand, without meaning to do so, Mr..
Edmunds has made it very plain to the
country that the methods of the Senate
are more in need of reform in this re-
gard than any others. A blow that
bids fair to be fatal has been dealt to
the secret sessions of the Senate.-N.

A BRAVE PAPER.

Governor Hills Brand Upon the Broad
way Franchise-Ex-Governo Cleveland's
Warming.
The people of New York have fresh
cause to be proud of the faithful and
vigilant guardian of their interests in
the executive chamber. Corporation
agents and the lobby may infest both
houses of the Legislature and swarm
around the hotels, but across the
threshold of the executive chamber
the polluting foot of the lobbyist can
not pass. There are no fine spun the
cries or equivocal phrases in his admir-
able message, but incisive, vigorous,
plain talk. 1t is the expression of the
righteous Indignation of an honest
man and fearless official against
bribery and corruption. He denounces
the thieves who stole the most valuable
franchises in the gift of the city of New
York, and the shameless officials who
permitted themselves to be purchased
Sin the broad light of day and with a
brazenness and boldness unparalleled
in the history of municipality.
He alludes to the warning of Cover
nor Cleveland, when he signed the
General Street Surface Railway act, in
1884, that the bill should have made it
obligatory on local authorities to put
those franchises up at auction, instead
of leaving it to their option. The
words of Governor Cleveland, in view
of the action of the New York alder
men on the Broadway and cable rail-
road steals. have an additional interest
now. eff the local authorities are de-
tnrminad To cheat and defraud their
constituents by refusing to put up a
valuable franchise at auction, they
must, under this bill, do it in the broad
light of day and with brazenness and
boldness that would find a way to evade
the most carefully framed law" This
did not, in the least, discommode the
disreputable officials to whom Jacob
Sharp and the cable company applied.
They cared more for Doodle" than
for character and were content to be
branded as false to every instinct OF
honor and manhood, as long as they
were well paid for it.-Albamy argus.

NIGGARDLY POLICY.
The Heads of tho Government Depart
ments Are Shockingly Overworked-Sec-
rotary Manningss Case.

The Heads of tho Government Depart
ments Arc ShockingIy Overworked-Sec-
rotary Manning's Case.
The illness of Secretary Manning and
the effects of overwork on Secretary
Lamar, taken in connection with the
rapidly accumulating business of the
Treasury, Interior and Postal Depart
ments of the Government, suggest that
sooner or later there must be found
some relief for the executive officers of
the Government
Since 1929, when Mr.. Jackson in
vited Mr. Barry, who was chief clerk
in charge of the Postal Department., to
a seat in his Cabinet as Postmaster
General, there has been no change in
the methods of conducting the execu-
tive branches of the Government, ex-
cept by assistants, each Cabinet officer
being responsible for the whole con-
duct of his own Department. Since
then the population of the country has
increased from II, see, 900 to 90, 0OO, 900,
its resources have been correspond
ingly developed, while the duties of the
Cabinet officers of the Government
have fully kept pace with the material
growth of the country. The time has
come when an efficient officer is soon
made a physical wreck in the discharge
of his multifarious duties. 1t is simply
an intellectual and physical impossible
ity for the Secretary of the Treasury to
administer the finances of the Govern
ment, to look after the collection of its
customs and internal revenues, to run
the minis, take in charge steamboat in
spection and the life-savlng service,
look after the engraving and printing
and watch the National banks, have
| charge of the coast survey, control the
| currency, assume responsibility of the
| Government architect, and disburse the
funds of the Government. While some
| of these duties are delegated to others,
| the Secretary is the responsible head,
| and must be more Or less acquainted
| with all, according to the measure of
his efficiency.
The same may be said of several de-
partments of the Government. The
| Cabinet of the United States is COM
posed of seven men, that of Great
| Britain of fourteen, that of France OF
| eleven, that of Prussia of ten and that
| of Russia of eleven. Even Belgium
| and Switzerland have seven each, and
Italy eight. But there has always been
very niggardly spirit shown by ou1
people in the number of officials and
the pay they receive, the idea being
that there was some merit in Demo
cratic simplicity. This may be true
| provided that simplicity is not directed
| by men who drive ten-dollar mules in
carts. We offer the very highest posi-
BILE premiums for dishonesty in the
| public service by imposing upon Cabi-
| net officers duties it is not possible to
| perform, and as a result we have star
| route frauds and naval irregularities
that are invited and made possible by
| our methods. Instead of seven we
should have twelve Cabinet officers,
and the day is not far distant when i,
will be recognized.-C Chicago Neaos.

A VALUABLE DOG.

He Enables His Master to Spend His Days
in Blissful Idleness.
A Detroiter who was skirmishing
along the river Rouge the other day
with gun, met a farmer and a dog on
the road near the Woodmere cemetery,
and as the two men stopped to speak
the dog ran down the highway about
twenty rods, sat up on end and began to
bark.
"Whats the matter with your dogp"
asked the sportsman.
ooh, nothing. He is simply getting
ready."
'.What for?''
3'For you to shoot. Whenever any
of you folks come cunning around here
I set him up at twenty rods for quar-
ter a shot"
ssYou do, Ell? Well, you can say
goodbye to him at once, for I'll kill him
at the first shot. Here's your quarter. ="
"Oh-hand shot, you know?'
.Of course"
The sportsman got ready, and the
farmer chewed away at a twig and
gently whistled: '.Mollie Darling The
rifle cracked, the smoke flew away, and
the dog frisked around in high glee.
Better try another" suggested the
farmer.
"Ill do it! I'll try hundred! Here's
a dollar, and that dog has seen his last
spring break-up!
1t was repeating rifle the man had,
and he blazed away again and again un-
til he had fired the four shots. The
dog chased his tail around circle, and
the farmer said:
"Mebbe it isn't your day for shooting,
you know?"
'.Mebbe it isn't, but here's another
dollarr'
He cracked away another four times,
and as the last shot rang out the dog
came toward him on a trot, ears
cooked up and eyes looking around
Cor rabbit tracks.
"WeI, 1 guess I must be joggin'
along,n said the farmer. I'm very
much obleeged for
Not byaa durn sight!' shouted the
hunter. 1--WE got five dollars left, and
I'll blow every cent of it in on that pup!
Send him back!'
stranger, the limit on this game is
two and quarter. You've struck hard
pan.
'TI give you fifty cents a shot,
''Not to-day. In fact, John Henry
won't stand over nine shots without
bolting.'
Say dollar shot," shouted the
hunter.
Cant do it. I'm making eighteen
shillings day off that dog, and don't
want to play dirt on him. If you are
down this way tomorrow whistle for
me and mebbe I II raise yer bluff. Come,
John Henry"
Five dollars for shot!" desperately
shouted the hunter.

CONCRETE FLOORS.

How to Prepare the Foundations for a
Cement Floor for a Stable.
The first preparation for a concrete
floor is to insure complete drainage.
Frost is too powerful for concrete
wet under the floor, frost may destroy
it in day-it should therefore be COM
pletely drained before laying such a
floor. When this is provided for, then
place layer of broken stone all over
the space to be occupied by the floor,
and with PAYERS mallet drive these
into the earth so as to be solid. Now a
thin layer of smaller stone over this,
and you are ready for the concrete.
First make some thin grout by mixing
two of sand with one of water lime
when dry; then wet this up thin, so that
it will run in between the broken stone.
As fast as this thin grout fills up the
spaces between the rough stone, let the
whole be driven down moderately, with
small mallet, and all settled solid to-
gether; add more grout if required,
till all is filled to the top of the broken
stone; level it off as well as may be.
Now it is ready for the top layer of
concrete. This layer is best if made
with Portland cement, for it will be
much harder than if made with common
! water lime; yet if Portland cement can
not be had, then Akron or other good
common water lime will do. If made
of Akron cement, mix l 1-2 of sand
with one of cement when dry; if of
Portland, mix two of sand with one
of cement. Then mix well into thin
mortar-spread this, in a layer Sd OF
an inch thick, all over the prepa red
foundation, rubbing it down well, so
that it may be compact 1t is important
that the surface should be even and uni
form. And to this end, a gauge is laid
| on each side of the floor, and a
straight-edge, reaching from one
gauge to the other, moved over the
space, will show when it is even with
| the gauges.
This makes a very complete floor, rat
and other vermin proof. The Portland
cement will stand for considerable
| time with no protection from cattle's
feet; but cattle, in getting up, place
much weight on the toes of the fore
feet, and will soon dig a hole in COM
| mon concrete-they will in few years
dig holes in stone 1t is, therefore, bet
ter to lay down a board next the
Manager, and let the friction of the fore
feet come on this board (some regard it
best to lay boards from Manager to gut
ter), which is easily replaced when worn
| out, and the concrete will remain unin-
iured. This floor will keep the manure
from soaking into the earth, rendering
it much easier to keep the stable sweet
| and wholesome for the animals. But
the manure, to save both liquid and
solid, should be taken directly to the
field, and not piled up in the yard to lose
most of its liquid by soakage and evapo
ration Country Gentleman.

Right Ahead.

Grover Cleveland, as mayor of Buff.
falo, Governor of New York and Presi-
dent of the United States, has in all
matters pertaining to the public well
fare, given an exhibition ofunimpeach-
able integrity. 1t is a singular fact
that in several of his public acts the
disapprobation of the populace stared
him in the face, but when the sober
second thought and restored reason
gained supremacy, the decision was
almost universal that he had done the
right thing in the right place. His
rule of action may be said to be en-
braced in the mathematical verify:
'.the nearest line between two points
is straight one" With him the pub
lie welfare is paramount to party in
terests, and public Office public
trust. He has never sought Office, nor
has he ever been scheming politician.
The Office in his case has in every in
stance sought the man.-Des MoineA
