THERE is at least one repentant ex-con
federate. He talks like unto the gentle
murmurs of June zephyr floating through
the subdued midnight air and playfullS
rustling the leaves of the graceful willows
or some such thing as that. As com
piler and dispenser Of the Presidents
American he is unquestionably great big,
full blown daisy. He is as nice as a well
raised country girl, as majestic as Bunker
Hill monument, and as sweeping as the sad
but serious zephyrs of our desolate prai
ries. With this brief introduction, we will
let him say a few words for himself:
We once marshalled men to wreck the nation
to-day we marshal millions TO lit her to the
heights of splendor. We once plunged our
sword into the heart of the republic, to-day we
balm that heart with peaceful industry. And
once our cOuntry's flag tiamed the fire of hate
within our boSoms, to-day we would defy the
panoplied armies Of the world in the defense OF
that flag.
Up Ethiopia Make tiny way along the path
of HERSCHEL, NEWTON, MILTON and MORSE.
Encircle illustrious achievements about thy ebon
from beneath thy curled hair. Until then learn
dard of the man.
As the fellow said who took his girl: down
to see a new mill power that had just been
put in the river-''Ain't that dam nice?'

them with. Let us see. What party was
it that abridged and almost destroyed the
rightof trial by jury in this territory. The
Liberal party What party enoeavored and
is still endeavoring to supplant legislature
elected by the people with commission
appointed by Congress? The Liberal party.
What party here except the Liberal party
objects to the admission of Ueah as state!
Finally, what party advocates legislation
that would debar all persons who belong to
certain religious organization from ac-
quiring title to any part of the public
domain! There is only one party known to
American history that has conceived such
infamy as is embodied in this last charge,
and that is the Liberal party. Which of
the above charges can the Liberal organ
deny! Quotations from its own columns
can be supplied on every one of them. And
as the above charges are all that are made,
it will greatly puzzle the organ
that appears to own the so-called Liberal
party, to deny or refute any of them. 1t
might have said, with more truth, that
many members of the Liberal party are op
posed to all these acts of the party itself,
and that the tie binding them to that party
is very weak indeed. Such are many, if
not most, of the new Corners among us.
They are, as "a rule. men from the states,
where such propositions of party politics
as the Liberal party makes would not be
tolerated. These Americans will think.
twice before voting for a party that
pledges itself to the consummation of the
most hateful of all political crimes-class
disfranchisement-if it can only have it's
way. The vapid nonsense about such an
utter impossibility as ''free water some
vague, general charges about an alleged
dishonesty of officials who are now nearly
forgotten, and adeclaration in favor of in
creased taxation-these things will not Sc
cure the votes of patriotic men.
Nor can the organ of the Liberals make
good its claim that the parts of the plat
form dealing with city affairs are "leaves
torn from the Liberal book On the con-
trary the Peoples party has always and
earnestly worked for plentiful supply of
water, often opposed by the Tribune, how
ever, as in the case of the canal; has
entered vigorously upon the investigation
and the construction of a sewerage system;
has maintained uniform and low taxation:
has endeavored to suppress vice and
gambling houses, in which it has been
almost constantly opposed by the Tribune
and members of the Liberal party
Finally the Peoples party carries out its
pledges, and will continue to work for the
progress and improvement of the city.

policy as Acknowledgement of opponents,

public relations.
Yes, the growls of the Tribune show that
it is badly shaken up over The brief docu-
ment that enunciates the principles and
aims of the Peoples party.

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

It would be unfair to comment on the
contents of the Forthcoming report of that
aggregation of gigantic statesmen, the
Utah Commission, basing the comments on
the Associated Press correspondents
statement of what those contents will be.
A gentleman who represents the great
news concern in Chicago conveys the i'm
preston that the report is to be something
perfectly awful, and at the same time
would make it appear to those who are
familiar with things out this way, that the
gentlemen composing the election board
are asses, whereas we all know them to be
mighty men in the field of craftsmanship.
Everybody knows how utterly unreliable
the ASS. Press has become, and what a bad
gnesser it is, therefore we say it would be
unjust and taking a mean advantage of the
commission to comment on anything the
press agent might say concerning the pro
spective report and the alleged utterances
of the distinguished gentlemen.
However, THE HERALD will remark,
basing its utterances on nothing which has
come over the wires from Chicago,
that the report of the Utah Commission
will be about as influential with Con-
gress as the average pub. doc. If
any Senator or Representative shall ever
read it, it will be because he finds time
hanging heavily on his hands. There are
people who read the crop reports issued by
the department of agriculture after the
crops have been gathered and largely con-
sumcd, and there are others who look into
last years alplanacs when they can find
nothing else to do, but these people have
no object in view in their singular conduct.
stirring question in the nation, and in Con-
gress it is hardly interesting. The intelli-
gent understand fully that matters here
are in a very satisfactory condition from a
national point of observation. 1t is known
that the progress towards Q complete solu-
ton of what has been treated as 'prob-
LEM is as swift as desirable, and that at
tempts to hasten the advance would be very
apt to have contrary effect. The HERALD
has no greater apprehension that Congress
can be induced to make fool of itself over
u ab, than we have that our national law
makers are going to put muzzles on them
selves and quit making political
speeches under the guise of legislating for
the country Great statesman though
they be, and important as is their duty

formed by tax assessors and country

FALLEN CHIEFTAINs.

An of interest that occurs does not come
to as by means of telegraph or any other
way. and it is too often the case that the
means whereby we obtain special informa-
ton which the Associated Press and those
who write to US ignore or do not know Of
are cast aside and paid no attention to, be-
cause they are so humble and obscure-we
mean the local country papers. Nowhere,
for instance, is an account of delegation
of Mississippians calling on the late presi-
dent Of the southern confederacy, JEFFER-
son DAVIS, at his home at Beauvoir, Mis-
sissippi, recently, the object of the call
being to invite the fallen chieftain

ton on the 18th and 10th of next month

DAVIS is repres ented as looking remark

acting for the delegation, stated its object

the present means of a correct history of
the late war between the sections, and the
causes thereof, as MIR. DAVIS and his Co
horts understood them; he having been at
the head and front of that struggle, it was
especially desirable that he be present at
the organization and give the enterprise
the benefit thereof as well as his beniscns
upon it. The great leader of the lost cause,
in reply, thanked the committee and the

EVEN THE conservative, thoughtful and
careful Philadelphia Logger. which is the
soldiers friend and has never been any
thing else than loyal to the Republican
party, cannot endorse the recklcssness and
extravaganza which cowardly Congress
men have been guilty OF in the matter Of
pension legislation. The Ledger says:
There is rising public feeling that the active
members OF the Grand Army and of the pension
lobby have been far too ''acJIVe, and that the
beneticent pension system is being abused.
This should have its influence upon those weak
kneed and backboneleSs members of Congress-
who while they are well aware that much of the
pension legislation demanded by the pension
agents. through their lobbyists, is wrong-yet
still vote aye in feeble and far-or voices when
the Senate and House clerks call the roll. These
are the men who set the copy for officials like
