THE SEW COMMISSIONERS.

THE HERALD cougratulates Secretary
Thomas on his promotion TO position
In the Utah Commission, his nOmina-
ton by the President being announced
elsewhere this morning. As Secretary
of the Comm .ssion Mr.. Thomas has
performed much OF the Labor requi ed
at the hands Of the board, and he Is
more familiar with the duties of the Of
fee than anv other man who could be
named. There is reason TO believe that
the gentleman's promotion will be re
garded with satisfaction by the major
ity Of the people, OF all parties. During
MS long service as Secretary of the Ter
ritory and Acting-G5vernor Mr.. Thomas
has come in contact with the people
more generally than any other Federal
Official, and il speaks loudly IN
his commentator that while his
brother officials with remarkably lew
exceptions have been criticised and
condemned by one faction or the other,
very little has been said against him.
His career OF eight years has demon
strated that it is not necessary for
Federal official to be constantly at outs
with the people; that an official can
faithfully perform his duties without
declaring himself an enemy to the com
munity and making obnoxious war on
the people with whom he comes in con-
tact. Il has been charged and reiJer-
sted that the people of Utah ever make
war on an efficient Federal ofice-holier
who performs his duty, but Mr.. Thomas
furnishes 6 most emphatic refutatiOn Of
the charge, by showing that the official
can do efficiently what his office re-
ouires him 70 do, and still retain the
respect snd esteem Of the people, snd
escape popular criticism and abuse.
1t is not so stated in the telegram an
nouncing the nomination, that Mr..
Thomas is 10 take the place of one OF
the Republican members of the Com
mission, but it is understood that he
will DO so. Only little while ago Mr.
Abner B. Williams, of Arkansas, a
Democrat, was appointed to the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Mr.. Petit
grew. This makes the Democratic
representations on the board com 1lete,
hence the presumption is that Mr..
Thomas will take the place OF eithe-
Colonel Godfrey or Senator Paddock,
probably the last named. Paddock has
gone into the contest for the Nebraska
Senatorship, with The determination TO
either capture the prize for himself,
or see that Van Wyck does not &c.
il. Il is something in the nature
of handicap for man 10 hold one
fat Office, while asking for another, and
j. is believed that realizing that the com
missiouership would prove an injury to
him in the race for the SenatorshiP,
Paddock has either resigned or signifed
his readiness TO retire at the will OF the
President. It is known that last fall
Senator Paddock contemplated sending
IN his resignation, snd the presumP ton
is that he has done so.
We knowof no Republican who had
q better claim on the position than
Secretary Thomas, and none whose APP
pointment would have been more fav-
orably received by the community gen
orally.

Ward two is getting to be a
