Home Rule IndispensabIe

'U7" VIC 43VsVVN HtFutu IIHu
The most and worst OF the ku-klux out
RACES were perpetrated during the period Of
mIntary supervision. The so-called coercion
dld not cOerce in this particular; nor did
military protection protect. The outrages, in
iact, were In the nature of brutal protest
against the attempt to pin the States TO the
Union by bay onets, and to force them to ac-
cepJ the disgraceful travesties upon gov
eminent that were set up under negro and
carpet-bag rule. And the organization
only demanded when home rule beca me COM
plete and the Federal soldiers were with
drawn. Senator Sher an. himself one Of the
foremost in supporting the policy of Federal
supervision, confessed the other day that it
was failure. 'The South must WORK OUT its
own aviation" nc said 1.-THE North has tried
in various ways to assist in managing local
affairs for the South. l must confess 1 have
participated in that kind of business, but /
am free to say 1t did not turn out very well.
The North cannot rule the South any more
than Great Britain can rule IrelRnd.'

The accounting officers of the Treasury
Department are in trouble pretty much
all the time with heads of other dep art
ments. The Comptrollers aud Auditors
refuse to pass items of expenditures for
which Congress has made no special ap-
preparation, and which are not specially
warranted by statutes. Under Republic
can administrations there grew up prac-
tIce of spending government money at
the discretion of the dlsbursing officer or
upon the order of member of the Cabi-
net, regardless whether an appropriation
had been made by Congress for that pur-
pose or not. The new accounting officers
have stopped payment upon a large
number OF accounts involving expen-
ditures made under the orders
of Secretary Bayard, Secretary ERdicott,
Secretary Lamar, Attorney General Gar
land, and, I'm fact, all the members Of the
Cabinet. ComptrOllers Durham and Nav
nard very promptly put their foot upon
every one OF these items when they reac H.
ed their desks, and as consequence
there is a wrangle with the injured dig
nifty of Cabinet officer upon one side and
the inlexible verdict of the accounting
officers on the other. The latter point to
the language Of the statutes, which, they
say, are mandatory upon Cabinet officer
as we'll AS themselves, while the CABIN ct
officers argue that practice and prece-
dents are equivalent to law in such mat
tiers. AS the President refuses to inter e
fere, and the Comptrollers and Auditors
are obstinate, it is not easy to see what
the outcome OF the matter is to be.

Literary Bureaus.

Following the example OF Presidential
candidates, Gen. Gordon and Mai. Bacon
have, it seems, established literary bu-
reaus. Gen. Gordon's is located in At
lanta and Maj. Bacon's in Macon. The
idea OF these institutions is to tell the
good people in different parts Of the STATE
all about the eminent abilities and great
public services of the two gentlemen who
are now canyassing tie State for the
Gubernatorial nomination. No doubt an
immense amount OF literature Of one sort
and another Will be sent out. The Bacon
bureau will, perhaps, attempt to give all
OF Maj. Bacon's good pOints-and he has
maryland all OF Gen. GOrdOn's bad
points, and the Gordon bureau, while en-
larging upon Gen. Gordon's magnificent
record as a soldier and ms amiability as
a man, will inquire why Maj. Bacon is
opposed to primary elections, and on
what grounds he claims a presumption on
the Office OF Governor.
Some OF the literature, perhaps, will be
rather interesting reading, because it will
enter the field Of fiction aud deal with
things AS some imagine them to be rather
tnan a. lue1 really are anu SOME OF IL Will
be rather heavy, and will be laid aside
with tho agricultural reports, which Con-
gressmen send out 20 admiring constitu-
ents, 10 be read IN leisure moments which
never come.
To meet tue expenses OF a campaign
which may last two months, and TO sus-
tain literary bureaus, will require m oney
and good deal OF IL. II the candidates
are not very economical they will be out
OF pocket an amount equal, If not greater,
than the salary OF the Governors office
for the entire term. The salary lie only
$1,000 year. The honor is, OF course,
great, but nowadays those who seek Office
want something more than honor. The
chance Of getting much more than honor
out Of the Goyernorship Of Georgia, how.
ever, il hardly worth considering.

There is nothing small about the Brook
iyn'Eagle. After examining Gen. Logan's
book it found it could not say anything
favorable about the work from a histOri-
cal or literary point of view, so 1t deter
mined not TO do it injustice. 1t coucludes
a notice OF the book as follows: 1.-The
paper on which his book is printed is,
however, excellent. The type work is
larse and clear. The binding is strong and
sumptuous. The engravings are at
tractiye, and the volume is worth more
than it will bring by the pound when it

The prevalence of typhoid fever at Phil

There are some rather curious things in
newspaper statistics. There are, for in
stance, 700 religious and UNCONVENTIONAL
newspapers published in the United
States, and nearly one-third OF them are
printed in New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Chicago. New York is far ahead
in this respect, but Chicago leads Boston.
Three newspapers are devoted to the silk
worm, six to the honey bee, aud not less
than 81 TO poultry. The dentists have ls
journals, the photographers nine, and the
deaf and dumb aud blind 10. There are
three publications exclusively devoted to
phliately, aud Que to the terpsichorean
art. The prOhlbltionists have 1919 organs
10 the liquor dealers eight. The woman
sutfragists have seven, the candy mskers
three. Gastronomy is represented by
three papers, gas by two. There are
about 600 ne wspapers printed in German,
and A. in French. The towns which have
most French periodicals are New York,
New Orleans, aud Worcester, Mass.-four
apiece. There are more Swedish prints
than French. Two daily newspapers are
printed in the Bohemian tongue.

SENSIBLE MIR. COOPER.
He Promises to Obey the Law ana
His Sentence is Suspended.

Late yesterday afternoon F. A. Cooper,
of West Jordan, who recently completed
a six months term OF imprisonment IN
the Penitentiary, entered the District
Court in company with G. K. Gilchrist,
his attorney.
Mr.. Gilchrist stated to the Court that
there had been three indictments against
MI. Cooper; that he had already served
a term of imprisonment on n of them
and that he was yet to be tried on the
other two. He further stated that Mr..
Cooper's legal wife had died while he
was in the Pen, and that he had since
been legally married to n OF the other
wives and intended to live with her ex-
c~lusively. Mr.. Gilchrist expressed for
Mr.. Cooper a strong determination to
obey the law in spite of everyone and
everything, though without a desire to
create any ill feeling among his friends.
The defendant had already pleaded not
guilty to these two indictments, but he
asked permission to withdraw this plea,
and this being granted, he entered a plea
of guilty.
Mr. Dickson then made a motion that
the sentence in these cases be suspended
pending the good conduct of the defend
ant, and the order was so made.
Mr.. Cooper is to be congratulated upon
this assertion of his manhood and the ex-
ercise of such good

The Coming Mormon Conference.

II has been decided to hold the Octo.
Der Conference of the Mormon Church
al Coalville, the county seat of Summit
county, and the church organ will this
evening contain an announcement to
that etferJ. The object OF holding the
Conference outside of Salt Lake is OF
coursa obvious, but exactly why Coal
vile .ould have been selected in
pref .0rce to the larger towns
of Ug.an, Provo or Logan is
hard 40 tel. Probably, however, the
authorities have concluded that Summit
county np.ls a little bracing up for not
electing q representative to the last Legis-
%lsture, aud it is quite as likely that the
favor is shown - a reward for the carry
ing OF the county by the Peoples"
party at the recent county elections. At
any rate, Coaiville is to have the great
aggregate congiomeration, and no one
will begrudge the distinction.
