A BAD ENDORSEMENT.

The Grand Army of the Republic, in ses.
sion at Milwaukee, endorsed the course of
JAMES TANNER in terms so certain and un.
eauivocal that if there had existed any
doubt as to the fact that that organization
is political from foundation to garnet, the
doubt is now removed. Not only did it
commend his recklessness, not to say
knavery, in ladling out the public moneys
to every applicant and raising the amounts
previously allowed to pensioners without
regard to fitness, but it encouraged him in
his nefarious course and virtually in
structed him to keep on as he has been
doing from the first.
Before proceeding further, let it be I'M
derstood that THE HERALD is not and has
not been opposed to just and
liberal pension laws. The men
who lost limbs Ior were OF erwise
disabled in the field when the struggle for
the flag was going on, are entitled to reas-
enable recognition of their sacrifice and
continuous reward for their services

cause of injuries received while fighting
for the Union, should be remembered more

WATER FOR ALL.

Oneh but to run into the mountains a
few days to be convinced that it will be a
comparatively easy and inexpensive matter
to obtain an abundant supply of water The
mountains are themselves immense reser-
voirs, which need only to be bored and tun-
neled when they will yield up the precious
fluid in any desired quantity. Salt Lake city
is somewhat unfortunate in having but one
short canon to draw upon for its household
supply of water, and that canon is not sur
rounded by broad and loft mountains such
as are found elsewhere. And yet we have
seen this summer what can be done by
opening the springs and running tunnels
into the City creek hills. The flow has
been increased fully twenty-five per cent.
and there is reasonable hope that the de-
velopments now in contemplation will
double the run from our chief water source.
What has been and is being done in City
creek can be duplicated in all the cafions
opening into the valley, and with better re-
suits, for all the cafons are larger and have
higher mountains for walls than the one
named. Furthermore, there are consider
able lakes in some of the caf1ons, as the
Cottonwoods, which can be drained at mod
crate expense late in the season when the
natural flow of the streams diminishes.
But the great reservoirs from which the
Salt Lake valley must obtain its water
supply are the mountain ranges and canon
gorges among which the Bear, Weber and
Provo rivers have their source. The region
is extensive, covering many miles, and in
Guiding hundreds of mountain lakes from
one to one hundred and fifty acres in ex-
tent, and ranging in depth all the way from
a few feet to fifty leagues. The Provo,
with its branches and feeders, drains an
empire of territory, and we have no hest
fancy in saying that by the expenditure of
few thousand dollars opening springs
sluicing marshes and cutting outlets to
mountain lakes, the flow of that stream can
be doubled during the summer and early
autumn months when water is most needed
in the valleys. The Weber water shed is
less extensive, but is broad enough, and
80 well supplied with mountain lakes which
can be readily drained in time of need that
we believe that stream can be increased
fully One-third with small expense. The
Bear Iive", flowing some hundreds of
miles, all the way through noun famous
country, does not bring into this valley
m ore than half the water which can can be
made to run through it's channel. The
source of the Bear is more than score of
mountain lakes, most of which can easily
be drained when the river falls, and filed
again during the winter
The fact is, we are just beginning to learn
of the vastness of the water supply-a
supply sufficient to put an end to all dis
putes over water by making it possible for
every one to have all that his land re
quires. There is plenty and always will be
while the mountains last and the SHOWS de-
scend. 1t is for US to make use of it. In
this we must rely upon ourselves and not
trust TO the government for aid.

MAHONE'S NOMINATION.

The nomination of sweet BILL MALONE
for governor of Virginia by the Republi-
cans, which they expected to create an out
break of enthusiasm, has fallen very fiat.
Even the Republican papers of the north,
excepting such superserviceable sheets as
the New York Nail and Express, are not
going into conniptions over the conven-
tion's work and the Democratic and indie
pendent papers everywhere are pouring an
infilading fire into it such as will have its
effect when the ides of November roll
around.
One of the best papers in New York-the
Utica ObserUer-speaks out in no IN
measured terms regarding the man and his
position. 1t says, among many other
equally apt and pointed things, that
the Democrats of Virginia have ''every
reason to look upon him with contemptu-
Gus adherence. His methods are as mean
as his physical appearance is insignificant.
If he has ever entertained manly and de-
cent conception of public duty, he has man
aged to conceal it from public notice. Ever
since he was excoriated by BEN Hill in
the Senate chamber OF the United States
our people, regardless of politics, have had
in their minds the full measure of the di-
minutive sneak and renegade. But Demo
cratic contempt for him is unqualified by
any sense of fear of him. Time and again
he has been politically beaten in open fight
by the Democratic managers of Virginia.
He would have disappeared from the pub
lie gaze when he retired from the Senate
were it not that his sinister control of the
negroes and degraded whites of Virginia
rendered him useful as tool of the ma
tional Republican managers"
This is only sample of what little BILLY
is getting every day. If ever there was a
person who completely exemplifed the con
dition of being hated at home and despised
abroad, he certainly is even such a man.
He stands about as much chance of being
elected to the executive chair of the Old
Dominion as BEN BUTLER does of being
chosen President of the United States.

receive an amount commensurate with the
services rendered by its head and pro-
tector But this is enough To do more is
to forsake the domain of patriotism and
enter that of public robbery, and this is
exactly what TANNER has done, what his
cohorts encourage bin in continuing to
do.
No one will be disappointed in the action
Of the Grand Army, for the reason that
those who did not know it before, suspected
it. The better portion of it withdrew from
membership shortly after the late Presi-
; Dental election, these including such men
as General JOHN M. PALMER, and others
nearly as well known In the country.
Their action was because of the fact
that the army had shown itself to
be an organized humbug and hypo-
critic; that while maintaining the
semblance of nationality without ref
erence to partisan politics, it was really an
adjunct of the Republican party and owned
no other allegiance. They would have no
more OF 1t, and the action of the Milwaukee
.v..~-,'' ; an standing BY TANNER should also
relieve them of whatever respect they may
have entertained for the society heretofore

Gratis standing in his party is worth to
openly affiliate with or recognize the au-
thority of the concern, and this paper,
among many other prominent and influential
ones in the land, is glad that it is so, for
one reason that it is not proper that dis
ciples of JEFFERSON and JACKSON should
figure as supernumeraries in the Republi-
can pageant.
! OF course, TANNER is victorious over the
chief of his department, man whom we
| believe has fairly tried to do his duty and
came as near to it as partisanship and the
service of a bad master will permit. The
interior department now represents that
