simply the agents of the council, and
must do the bidding of that body
They will accept the nominations
only on condition that the general ticket
shall be remodeled and made up of re-
putable, trustworthy citizens. To effect
such remodeling will be the chief bust
ness of this weeks convention, but there
is little likelihood of any change being
brought about The nominees are saying
they were fairly chosen and they propose
to hold on; that to retire would be a con-
fession on their part of all that is charged
against them as to incompetency, ire
sponsibility and recklessness, and that if
they are kicked out they will carry with
them the voters who controlled the ward
conventions.
To make matters worse for the conser-
vative and alarmed element, the Liberal
organ, feeling that it was speaking for
the party, came out with a hearty
and soldering endorsement of the
nominees. 1t said of the ticket;
''There is not name that does not repre-
sent what would be first-class man in any
country, not name except of a business
man fully identified with the best interests
of the city, not name that can be fairly
criticised. So far, at least, the Liberals
have fulfilled their promise of giving only
first-class men positions, in case they carry
the election"
The nominees point to this hasty and I'M
wise approval of themselves, and defy those
who threaten to drive them off the ticket,
while the men who are asking that the
changes be made, point to ALFF, MORRIS,
WINTERS, WHITNEY, PARSONS, WoLsTEN-
HoLME, ANDERSON, ARMSTRONG, LANEY,
BRADLEY, KAHLER. KEssLER, GEE and
others, and wonder what The organ of
fanaticism and the Liberal party was
thinking about when it said the nominees
named represented ''frst- class men," that
they were business men ''fully identified
with the best interests of the city, and
that they could not ''be fairly criticised -
If the organic concern had not been so pre-
cipitate and generous with its praise, the
difficulties in the way of an adjustment on
lines satisfactory to the bona fde citizen
element of the Liberal party might have
been removed with comparatively little
trouble. AS it is, there must be much re-
cantation and self qualification, besides a
good deal of personal humiliation before
anything like reconciliation can take
place, and ticket formulated which will
receive the support of the decent men in
the Liberal party. 1t is doubted by THE
HERALD that the trouble can be smoothed
over, and harmony be established. The
"mob'' seems to have control, and we all
know that mobs are not considerate of the
rights or feelings of property owners and
conservative men,
Meantime, look out for greatest show
on EARTH in this weeks Liberal conven-
ton! Look out for radical changes in the
ticket or for split in the party that will
prove disastrous to the hopes of even the

THE M'CLERNAND MATTER.

The attention of our Liberal friends in
general and of Governor THOMAS in par
ticular is directed to THE HERALD's Wash
ington telegram in this issue exposing the
true inwardness of the movement against
General MCCLERNAND. 1t seems that
THOMAS has been playing the sneak on the
general, and trying to knife the old war.
rior This is like THOMAS; and how the
governor will wriggle and squirm when he
reads the exposure of his cowardly course
in trying to bring about the re-
moval of former Official associate,
brave and patriotic union general, to
make place for man whose chief reputa
ton was achieved as rebel bushwhacker.
THOMAS course in this matter will not
rebound to his credit either as man or as
federal official.

A WARNING.

An Idaho exchange turns a point very
cleverly on a telegram which recently ap-
peared in THE HERALD setting out the
financial condition Of the two new states of
North and South Dakota. The dispatch
said: sGovernor MaLLETTE declares that
South Dakota will be obliged to close up
some Of her institutions, as the receipts of
the state will fall so far short of the ex-
penses that there apparently will be no alter
native. North Dakota Governor MILLER, in
his message to the legislature, estimated
the deficiency for the first year of state
government at nearly one hundred and
fifty -six thousand dollars, and called atten-
ton to the imperative need and Importance
of the strictest economy in all departments
of the new state. Subsequent develop
ments show that the governor understated
the deficiency and that the outlook is little
better than bankruptcy"
Our Idaho contemporary asks what the
"Gem of the Mountains" with a "few
spears of hair on is chin and upper lip''
would do with statehood, if the Dakotas,
with a population of over six hundred
thousand souls, and their broad and ex-
pansive plains of fine agricultural lands
cannot support state governments and find
it necessary to begin their career with a
saueal! Idaho has 10000 or 10000 people.
and the failure of her mines would reduce
the number one-half within three months.
Only in certain sections of limited areas is
agriculture possible and these districts are
pretty well settled up, so that the agricul-
tural population cannot increase very fast
or grow to considerable proportions. The
means for carrying on state government
must come largely from the mines, and the
uncertainty of these is being demonstrated
just now in way that is not at all saLis-
factory. The plain and simple truth is,
and the Idaho people should not blind their
eyes to the fact the territory is in no sense
prepared to incur theoexpense and accept
the responsibilities of statehood. state
government would crush the heart from
the little commonwealth, and within five
years there would be general appeal for
the restoration of the territorial constitu-
ton, and the saddling of the cost of govern
ment upon the federal treasury. The rich
and populous Dakotas are compelled to ex-
ercise the most rigid economy, and will
have to do so for years; while Idaho would
necessarily run behind from the start and
soon be overtaken by bankruptcy.

gests that one can't lie about him and go
scott free. He has the manhood to stand
up for right, and so also did his fellow
commissioner, CARLTON. These men will
have name that will be honorable when
the VESTS, the THoMAsEs, the editors of
the Tribune and others, who are engaged in
the little game to steal all of the poo
pies offices in this territory, have
sunk into insignifcance, and are
neither known nor respected. Those
who are prating about their love
of country, and who show that love for
the institutions of freedom by striking a
fatal blow at the foundation stone on
which the republic rests, may gain noto-
riety to day, but their memories will go
down to posterity with the faint of dis
honor on them. 1t is not the man who steals
the liberties OF a people and persecutes
them, who establishes an undying reputa-
ton. Those men who suffer wrong as mar
tyrs to good cause are the ones who will
stand out in bold relief in the days to come.
Suchu men sas McCLERNAND and CARLTON
may not gain honor to-day, but they are as
sure of it in the days to come as that the
sun will rise on the morrow, VT ether we
see it or not.
There is one other little reason why the
Tribune scribe would be pleased to see the
general removed from the Utah commits
sion, and that is because he is a man of
personal courage, as some of the organs
gang have learned from experience.
This is as potent an argument as there
could be to Tribune man for wishing the
general removed. The former knows that
he can accuse Mormon of every crime on
earth; that he can charge him with MUIR
der, and when it is proven that the ''mur-
dered'' man is alive and well. that he can
suppress the facts and go on with his accu-
Stations and there will be no harm come to
the writer's poor carcass, as the people in
this territory. that is the Mormon part of
them, have no friends, and if they were to
resent the lies told of them and punish the
l1belers their resentment would be "a Nor
mon outrage" and another evidence that
they were lawless people. General Nc
CLERNAND, however, has a reputation
which no dozen lying editors on the Tribune
can smirch, and he has in addition the
courage not to allow his name to be SLAM
dered by knave who writes lies with
impunity against the majority of the
people

STANLEY, it is said, sees fine prospects
for railways in Africa. According to his
estimates 500 miles could be laid down for
s17,0O0,O00. This mileage would open to
commerce four great river basins, with a
total area of 100000 square miles, and a
total population of S0,96OOOO. Of the
resources of the region he speaks in the
highest terms. Now if the natives could
only discover some valuable mines and
work them, and we could get some fashion
magazines introduced there, railway
would be one of the colossal specalations of

TIMES GIFT.
BY MISS JOSEPHINE SPENCER.

Written for THE HERALD
The glad earth passes once again,
Her path laid out through festive days,
And speeds reSounding to the strain
OF natal songs of praise.
Loves gifts are showered, vows re made,
And peace, a spirit brooding DER
The world, in hearts by hate long swayed
Her blessings pour.
And time, with noble mood to meet
The custom of the seasons cheer,
Has brought with smile OF promise sweet
The gift Of the New Year.
Oh, precious boon! What breath may tell
The utmost measure of thy worth!
Thy span may hold a potent spell
To mould the face OF earth.
All that the earth has ever known
OF mightiest import in the past,
Fades at the light before us thrown,
And DER the present cast.
The world is verging towards the goal,
Prophetic minds beheld afar,
Through blood red msts that ever roll
From fierce oppresSion's war.
Still from the earth in anguish rise
The cries of souls whose dropping wings
Droop, weighted by the woe that hes
; In human SuferineS.
Each day the tears Of mercy spill
AT plea of Saviors sacred cause,
Yet still delays her task to fill
Sweet Loves dlvineSt laws.
If we might view the glorious height
Towards which the paths fjust ce trends
Could see the steady glow of light
That waiting future lends,
No other hope our souls might move
Than blessed with boon of Life and Time
To struggle with the world ana prove
Its foretold golden prime.
And unto US the gift OF years
FallS-oh! as swift the moment flies
Be ours to WELD helm that steers
Towards earthly Paradise.
