self has been approached on the sub
ject and asked as to his ''viewa"s in the
matter. The Colonel" says, in effect,
that while he would be delighted with
the office, as he entertains more or less
affection for the Chinese and their
country because of the love the Mon
golians bore his distinguished father, he
will neither log-rou nor Wire-pull for
the prize; that he is in the hands OF
friends; if they can get the Office for
HIM he will gratefully accept it
and if they do not succeed he will nc
b. disappointed nor will he be grieyed.
This is like Fred Grant. He never did
any thing for himself, Whatever hes
been done was done by relatives and
friends. Indeed, be seems never to
have known how to 90 anything for
himself. -.,sy 5s:-.
But why should Fred Grant be given
this or any other Office? What has he
ever done to entille him to the honor,
the distinction or the money involved ?
" hatspe cial capacity has he displayed
for perfor ming the duties of Office, and
especially an important office like

matte service there il no position re-

DELAYED THEIR RELIEF.

TIE HERALD is sorry for the Terri
tory of Idaho. It looked at one time
last summer as if the Territory were
forging ahead and would soon throw
of the shackles of colonial serFdom and
stand erect as an American State. The
conditions we're favorable to the ad-
vance ard emancipation, and the air
was full Of hope and promise. THH
HERALD rejoiced and did its utmost to
aid the movement. our motives were
disinterested and our efforts philan-
thropic, Whatever occrrred in Idaho
could have no effect in or on Utah, and
vet there was not q newspaper in that
Territory that was more eager and
honest in its desire to get liberty toF
the busting commonwealth.
News comes from Warrington, and
from a source which is trustworthy, to
the effect that Idaho's chances for
Statehood within the near future have
besn destroyed. The doings of the Leg
isIaturs have been watched in the SEN
ate. and the bills introduced carefully
read by influential Senators, with the
rasult that the consent OF that
branch of Congress to the admission o.
the Territory into the Union could no
more be obtained than could an act be
passed putting the Digger Indians in
charge of the Ma ional Museum. A
more incompetent body of men
probably never assembled in legisla-
tive capacity, than those whose session
in the Capitol at Boise City will come
to an end tomorrow. The great
majority of them seem to be born
and bred scrubs, and the few
men of intelligence and education
among them are either without iRhu-
anse or they employ their power IS
leaders for evil. 1t is said that not
single bill! has become law which will
stand the test in the court, and some
OF the enactments are openly and scan
dslously in violation of the Organic Act
and of the Constitution of the United
States. The work of the session, so far
as il will stand, will be mischievous.
CongresEmen say il the legislators
are the faithful representatives of the
neople Idaho cannot be entrusted
With Statehood; that the comm unity il
;nospsbIe of maintaining republican
form of government, and that it would
resnlt in disaster to give it local self
government. "They must wait

THAT RAILROAD.

There are men in this city, ten in
number, who could almost afford toput
up the ~ney necessary for the tui!d-
ing of the railroad to Los Angeles. They
would make N oney cut of it. Such
msn are the Walker Brothers, Auer-
bach Brothers. Henry W. Lawrence,
the Groesbeck Brothers, Mayor Arm
strong and some others who might be
mentioned. If Salt Lake, because of a
failure to act by her citizens most inter-
ested, should prove not to be the
city of promise for the western
base of the Rocky Mountains, certainly
none will suffer greater loss than those
who hold most of the real estate. 1t is
unfortunate that the bankers, and many
of the merchants, while they will reap
rich harvest FROM a rapid and perma.
nsnt growth of this city, do not need to
exercise themselves in its behalf SO
earnestly as realty owners. On the
ether hand, however, the rich reward
will fall TO those who labor for it.
City building in these days 10 not as
il has been in the past. Trade Is not
permitted to work out its result. 1t Is
forced. Advant- ges are seised aud
made the most of. Energy, confidence
and activity are the main factors in
city building. Paramount advantages,
unrecognized and untitled; c3nceited
indifference, based even upon the most
fiattering promises, are as nothing COM
pared to the efficacy of the earnest
work of few men who have faith in
their work and who SOW that they may
reap. .
We sit and wait in egotistical conf
denoe. 1t will not count. The active
work of a few men for Ogden will push
it ahead of Salt Lake. with all her
wealth and population and sufficient
egotism, pardonable because OF remark
able advantages, but inexcusable be-
cause these may be permitted to lie I'M
utilized until the chance has pasted. 1t
is time this city was awakened to what
shoxld be done.
We need railroads. We need them
to stop here coming from the east. We
need railroads going to the west, and
they should start from this city. The
real estate owners are most heartily in
terested. They certainly should see
the need of action, and early action,
too, before the tide that has turned in
our direction shall pass on and leave
IA wondering how We could have been
so unwise.
