suitable.
Ia Fig. ) we have the representation Of
trout tackle, which, when made half the
sise Of the drawing, is a very good style OF
weapon for all the trouts which take spin
Mug bait. The method of batting is as fol-
lows:
The large hook A is entered Just above tho
fork Of the tail OF the bait, aud carried COM
pletely through past the barb) the verte
bra or back bone. Ii is then turned so that
the tail end Of the bait is curved round the
bend Of the hook; this gives the necessary
curve for the spin.
The hp-hoOk OBJ Is then adjusted through
both hps of the bait, and the loose triplet
swings on either side as it revolves in the
water. Sometimes another hook is whipped
In a reverse way at c, SO that the bend In
the tail caused by can come undone. This
is not absolutely necessary. however. A
lead on the trace is indispensable.
An ingenious spinner is shown in Fig. 6.
IL consists Of (A) swivel OBJ fan-like
spinner. which, being shaped somewhat
like the screw Of a steamer, turns the bait
with great regularity and swiftness; c, a
loose single hook; d, a lead core, terminal
ing in a brass pin; Z, triplet hooks,
which are hooked into the bait or fiy loose,
according to the fancy of the user.

BISHOP HUNTINGTON, of New York,
thinks men are going TO the bad very fast.
He says: IF Washington were now living
in the United States he would find the
political atmosphere offensive, and the
political morality intolerable, and in the
wisdom of the rule which has set him fore
most among the founders of states, he
would probably be at this day ineligible
to the Presidency, to Congress or
to any office controlled by political
machinery" Matters are pretty bad just
now, it must be confessed, the Republicans
having the administration and in control of
both houses Of Congress; but if the truth
were known it would probably be admitted
that politicians and ofice-holders now are
about as good, on an average, as in former
times. Some awful stories of the terrible
goings-on a century ago have come down
to this generation, but we are too patriotic
to admit their truth. a hundred years
hence people will point with PRIDE
TO the men Of this age,
and tell how much nobler, and purer, and
more patriotic they were than the dema-
gogues and political colTuptionists Of the
time. The good bishop should bear in
mind that age, like distance, lends enchant-
ment to the view.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-05-17

POSTMASTER GENERAL WANANAKER
"broke up'' a delegation of stalwart Re
publicans who went to him last week with
a request that the postoffice in a certain
city be given to an active politician who
had given time and money to the HARRISON
cause in the last campaign. They set forth
the merits and qualifications Of the candi-
date in glowing terms, and made it plain
that he was good man and a
competent one as Republicans go.
When they had finished, WANAMAKER
asked what was to be done with
the present postmaster, whose commission
had two years to run! The delegation
said the man was a Democrat, that he had
been appointed by CLEVELAND, and should
not be retained by this administration.
The postmaster general said as the incum-
bent had been confirmed by a Republican
senate, and as the Office was well managed,
he did not propose to remove the postmas-
ter; that he would not accept the response
bility Of removing faithful official who
had been commissioned for q term of four
years by a Republican senate, and that he
did not think good Republicans should ask
for the removal of such man. There may
be something besides "spoils'' in WANA-
MAKERS head, after all.

reside, THE HERALD has little faith that
Idaho will be able at this time to
escape from colonial rule. The I'M
republican, the almost scoundrelly work
of her legislators during last winter,
will be sufficient to decide the matter with
Congress that our northern neighbors are
not prepared to have greater political
power and responsibilities conferred upon
them. No American Congress will ever
consent to confer statehood upon a commu-
nifty whose representatives are so un-Amer-
lean as those of Idaho, the legislative en-
actments of the past three sessions of the
assembly supplying the convicting evil
dence. 1t is furthermore publicly an
nounced by the men who exercise political
control of the territory, that the intention
is TO make the proposed state constitution
un-republican land un-American in the i'm
pOrtant particulars of individual rights,
and men are to be sent to the
convention with the understanding that
they viii frame a constitution containing
clauses in direct violation of the funda-
mental law of the republic. We wish it
was otherwise, but The HERALD feels GER
tain that the Idahoans are engaged in a vain
undertaking. They cannot possibly get the
territory into the union until they erase
fromthe statute books the un-American
laws which mar their pages, nor until they
go to Congress with constitution which
