FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

E. r. CLUTE is the Liberal nominee for
city assessor and collector; LOUIS HYAMs
is the Liberal candidate for city recorder:
r. d. WINTERS and j. r. NORRIS are
Liberal candidates for aldermen Why
were they nominated! There are much
more prominent and capable men in the
Liberal party than they. We believe that
not more than one Of these men would have
been suggested for Office if it had not been
for the fact that they were the registrars,
who with Mr.. MCCALLUM, made the entire
present city registration. And why, you
ask, should this fact be recommend to
Office! That, we are unable to answer. Is
it because their Offices were so prominent
that by reason of serving in them, they have
risen from obscurity to fame! Scarcely. Is
Il because they have filled public and quasi
judicial offices with upright impartiality:
Scarcely! Such record would deserve
recognition at the hands of the Peoples
party as well as at the hands of the Liberal
party; and as matter of fact, impartiality
is what few political parties either desire
or reward for; it is rather what they do
not wish. The conclusion that the Liberal
party have rewarded these men for their
even handed justice is absurd.
Did not Mr.. MCCALLUM voice the senti-
ment of his fellow registrars, and hold up
convincing argument to the convention,
when he said that Mr.. CLUTE deserved the
nomination because he was registrarl Is
not the sentiment thus expressed and
recognition Of its force by the Liberal con-
ventions a confession of all that the
Peoples party management have charged
against these registrarss
If it be true that the chief and only rea-
son that these men have been nominated is
that they have been registrars; if it be
true that they and their friends have
urged this fact as reason for their recog-
milton; then is it also true that one of the
most ,andalous and barefaced claims in
the history of American politics, has been
recognized by a party claiming to be the
advance agents Of divinity and the soul of
constitutional patriotism. One scarcely
knows which to deplore most, the impu-
dence of the registrar or the enforced COM
pliance of the party.
Candid people will agree that the recog-
milton of four out Of five registrars, with
the other yet to hear from, under such cir
cumstances is little short Of conclusive
proof of payment for services rendered.
Do such things meet the appreciation of
the better class of Liberalss

GOOD FOR UTAH.

1.-The $500 awarded for the largest yield
of wheat last year goes to HENRY f.
BURTON, of Salt Lake city, Utah, for a
yield of eighty bushels on one acre. Such
was the good news contained in the dis
patches Friday morning. Mr. BURTON
in particular and Utah in general are to be
congratulated. 1t is very pleasing indeed
to US to see our citizens win prizes in any
given direction; especially is this the case
when the prize is offered for some product
of the soil. This is a nice little sum of
money, and will pay Mr. BURTON very
handsomely for his labor in producing the
''eighty bushels on one acre. to say moth
ing about the natural benefits which he is
receiving all the time by having his farm
thing that is worth doing at all is worth
doing well'' is an old saying, and
it is good one for each and
all of US to follow. The prize
taken by Mr.. BURTON shows that he ap-
preciates the truth of the remark.
The Deseret Agricultural and Manufac-
turing society is doing much to encourage
our farmers, stock-raisers and mechanics,
and we hope to see the good work go on.
There are few places that have the natural
facilities which we are blessed with, and
there is no reason why these should not be
taken advantage of to the fullest possible
extent.
THE HERALD offers its sincere congratu-
lations tc Mr.. BURTON, and hopes that the
$500 will not be the last prize he will win.

asking what the CALLED and deerepit old bag

the illumination borrowed from THE HER

BRAVE AND manly old General MCCLER-
NAND has again downed his enemies, in
Guiding Governor THOMAS, ex- Governor
WEST aud the Salt Lake gang Our Wash
ington correspondent tells the story in a
special telegram which appears in this is
sue of THE HERALD. 1t is something to be
proud of, the way in which the statesmen
and the men of national influence and repu-
tation have rallied round the general and
exerted themselves in his behalf. There
are not many men in the republic who can
command the support which has been given
to General MCCLERNARD in this instance.
Before Governor THOMAS again sets out to
down an official it would be well for him to
more correctly estimate his own size and
take better measurement of the man he
assails. In this case the governor greatly
exaggerated his own proportions and fear
fully diminished those of General Nc
CLERNAND.

A HUMBUG CRY.

cry of the Liberals. In spite of the fact that
they have maintained in this city bureau
for providing work for strangers who
have come here and promised to vote the
Liberal ticket, and in defiance of the known
circumstance that they have had agents
at Nephi and along the railroads from Col
linston on the north to Green River on the
south, drumming up voters for the Lib
eral party, the catch praise is shouted in
season and out of it; is painted on banners
and daubed on transparencies. The Liberal
managers must entertain low opinion of
the intelligence of Salt Lake workmen,
when the former assume that the latter be-
lieve the campaign cry in the face of a letter
from Liberal agent at Nephi, addressed
to the chairman of the party in this city,
and reading
BBAR SIR:-The bearer of this wants TO vote,
look after a job for him.
But what humbuggery is the cry itself
To-day the great majority of the Salt Lake
werkingmen own the houses in which
they live, and they are here because the
economic administration makes it possible
for them to residein this city. Let the Lib
erals get control of the municipality and very
little of the Salt Lake work will be per-
formed by the present Salt Lake workmen.
The little homes which these laborers have
been able to earn and maintain will go to
satisfy the demand of the tax gatherer,
and their owners will seek abiding places
where economy and honesty characterize
the official administration of affairs, and
consideration is shown for the laboring
classes and the poor. The Salt Lake work
ingman, if he still remains, will not reside
in his own house, and maintain the degree
of independence which has hitherto char
.acterized his style of living and made him
a person to be respected; he will be a
renter. working for the benefit of
a landlord, and forced to practice
the most rigid economy in order to
hold his position as Salt Lake workman.
In fact, Salt Lake work will fall to transi
emit laborers, and Salt Lake workmen will
be driven to those places which are not
under extravagant, "boom" Liberal rule.

ernmen. viii pass from the wise and con-
sentative party which has managed itwith
so much success, and has made it city

1T Is SCANDALOUS.

There is only one feature in the whole of
the iniquitous Liberal campaign more bold,
shame-faced and wicked than the demand
of the four registrars for municipal offices,
and that is the action of the Liberals in
conceding it. The registrars were ap-
pointed as the judge on the bench is ap-
pointed, to serve without fear, favor or the
hope of reward; to act for neither party,
but to officiate for People and Liberal
alike, with impartiality and without bias.
Their action in going into the Liberal con-
vention with demand for Office virtually
says, 1--WE lent ourselves to the Liberal
party, and we used our offices to further
its interests; we demand our reward" and
the action of the convention in lending its
willing ear to the demand is virtual ex-
clamation, "Well done, thou good and faith
full servant" The whole thing is an out
rage on public and political morals, and
the transaction ought to be trumpeted over
the whole world to show the character of
the crowd that is seeking to fumigate the
political atmosphere Of Utah. Just as much

THE PRIMARIES.

The members of the Peoples party must
net forget the school district primaries
tomorrow night, and while bearing them
in mind they should attend in their respec
tive districts These primaries mean
everything to the Peoples party and to
the municipality. The party is in danger
OF losing its supremacy, and there is dan
ger that the city will fall into the hands OF
a gang of spectators and adventurers
bent on its spoliation. These dangers
exist, we say, though they are not great
There is one way, and only one,
TO turn them aside and save
the city from the conspirators. That
way is through the faithful, earnest ana
determined performance of political duty
by every member of the party. The hrst

duty is to go to the primaries, in which
political action begins, and with your
neighbors and associates take the neces-
sary steps towards securing good govern
ment by preparing for good tickets.
There is more in a good ticket than rank
partisans will concede. There is less in
recognized and devoted fealty to party
than there is in recognized ability and de-
votion to the right. Good men will not
only carry their own party but will
attract votes from the opposition. This was
demonstrated in the election which gave
the country CLEVELAND and HENDRICKS. 1t
is proven at every election, the strong men
running ahead of their ticket" and the
weak ones running behind.
At this jupcture in the affairs of Salt
Lake it is absolutely necessary tina. the
People should come before the community
with a faultless ticket as to men, The
enemy has run largely to irresponsible,
characterless scrubs, and the solid men are
alarmed. The People must exert
themselves to get the very best,
and show by comparison diff
ference which will force every
uouy W ESCoSHLZe tue Improvement
and induce the thoughtful to disregard
party in the interest of the public good aud
the city's welfare.
The way to get good tickets, to get just
such men as are wanted, is for the citizens
to go to the primaries and make their voices
heard in the advocacy of good and trust
worthy persons for public Office
AT Mondays meetings the delegates to
the city convention will be chosen. If
these delegates shall be the choice of the
majority of the citizens in the respective
wards, the general ticket they will make up
will be representative and it will also be
unassailable from within or without the
party. Everything depends on tomorrow
nights work. That work will be well and
satisfactorily doneif the members of the
party will go to the primaries.

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

The bill introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives by Delegate GAME, last
month, to provide for the construction of a
public building in this city, authorizes and
directs the secretary of the treasury to
acquire by purchase, condemnation or 9th
erwise, a suitable site, and cause to be
erected thereon ''commodious and sub
stantial building, including fre-proof
vaults. heating and veutilating apparatus,
elevators and approaches, for the use and
accommodation of the United States for
capitol, courthouse, postoffiCe and other
government Offices The site and build
ing complete, are not to cost to exceed
S5OO,cO and the site shall not be purchased
until estimates for the erection of the
building shall have been approved by the
secretary; and the ''site purchased shall
leave the building unexposed to danger
from fire by an open space of at least forty
feet including streets and Alleys The bill
is Identical in its provisions, with the one
introduced in the Senate, and which, like
the present one, is in the hands of the com
mittee on public buildings.
1t is understood that both the House and
the Senate committees are disposed to
favor the measure, as is also the supervis-
ing architect of the treasury, and in all
probability the bills will be favorably re-
ported to both houses at the present SEES
sion. Our people, however, should not
permit themselves to become unduly ex-
cited over the matter. In time we will get
a government building. but labor intelli-
gently and earnestly as we all may, we
need not expect the work to be commenced
within year or two. We do not say this
for the purpose of discouraging anybody,
but rather to encourage all to more deter
mined effort. Congress moves slowly
when it comes to voting money for public
buildings. The speed IS not increased by
the suggestion that the city asking the
building is in territory without
political influence, and the tend
ency to delay is still greater in the case
we speak. There are Congressman so
narrow minded and bigoted that they
would regard an appropriation for public
building in this city as in the light of a
government favor to the Mormons, and as
in the nature of encouragement to the lat
ter. If Utah were a state and had votes in
Congress and in the electoral college, there
reasonable appropriation that we might de-
mand; but being a territory, and tabooed
one at that, let us not get our hopes too
high over what seem to be favorable re-
ports from Washington.
