A week ago last Saturday the Republican
territorial committee met, and, with q
single exception, reaifirmed their previous
doctrine. They said they had received no
assurance Of any change on the part Of the
Mormon people, and that even the forma-
ton of the new parties here had been done
simply at the dictum of their chiefs"
They therefore declared their intention
of maintaining their former attitude to-
ward the Mormons. What that attitude
was may be judged from the falsehood and
infamy of the foregoing extract.
And in the face OF testimony OF this sort,
our Republican friends continue TO assert
that the Republicans are the true friends
of the Mormons and still endeavor to wage
a campaign upon an assumption so palpably
false and irrelevant as this is.
We do not believe any great damage will
be done in this way by our opponents.
People are anxious to have national issues
presented and discussed, and are likely to
have but little faith in the improbable, IN
natural and irrelevant talk of this kind,
which few of the Republicans seem to

PROSPECTS IN THE Army.

Lieutenant JAMES A. SWIFT, Of the Ninth
United States Cavalry, is before general
court martial for the non payment of debts
and the prospects are that as a result he
will be dismissed from the army. The
officer does not deny his guilt. but pleads
in palliation Of it that he has a large family
and being moved about the country quite
frequently he could not meet his expenses
out of his salary. Once before, and not
long ago. Lieutenant SWIFT was tried for
conduct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man in borrowing money from enlisted
men, but he was acquitted OF the charge.
This case brings up the question whether

MAN, did not think SO for they resigned

or after the best years of an officers life

TuIs interesting item appears in the
Electrical World of New York: 1.-THE Bell
Telephone Company has declared a regular
quarterly dividend Of per cent, and an
extra one of per cent, both payable July
Is to stockholders of record June 30. The
transfer books will be closed from July l
to Is, both days inclusive. It requires
nearly 81. $3.50, coo to pay this dividend, and
presupposes enormous earnings for the
year."
We say this is interesting. 1t is decidedly
so. especially TO every person Who rents a
telephone, and every month pays more than
the total cost of the instrument. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the company can
pay per cent. quarter on capital stock
which represents, some Investigators as
sert, four times as much as the cost of the
plant, including the money which was paid
for patents; or, in other words, three parts
water and one part actual value. Fortu-
nately the telephone patents will expire in
a little more titan year, when this bust

AT meeting CT the executive committee
of the Democratic central committee of this
county, at which all the members were
present. the following resolution was pre-
scented and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t is the opinion OF the executive
committee OF the Democratic party OF Salt
Lake county that the best interests OF our
public schools are subserved by removing the
school system far above and away from the in
iuence of political strife; therefore be it
Resolved. That We, the executive committee
of the Democratic party OF Salt Lake county
recommend TO the Democrats OF Salt Lake
county hat they unite with sll good citizens IN
the formation OF citizens ticket in which the
best men shall be nominated for the Office OF
school trustees regardless OF their political ANIL
iatinn.
This is in consonance with the expressed
policy of THE HERALD, and bearing the OIL
cial endorsement of the Democratic party,
and doubtless expressing the sentiment of
the majority of the people of Salt Lake,
the way seems to be clear to a continuance
of non partisan school board.

MIR. EDIToR-I notice in your last
issue a card from Senator Blackstone
in regard to the method of framing
suitable road law for Accomac coun-
ty. If our representatives are not
willing to take upon themselves the
responsibility Of framing what they
csnsider o suitable road law from
their present knowledge of what they
they think the people want. then
thirk Mr.. Blackstones SUGGESTION is
. very proper one. 50 far rs the meet
ing of tho citizens are concerned.
But it seems to me that ourrepresen-
tativcs. Mr.. Blackstone and Mr..
White, ought to be the principal fig
ures at that meeting. They are
csoeon and elected by the people to
,a.l'.o tho laws, ard not merely to
pass them. Thev are rs "conversant
with +hc road nrols of the county"
rs either tha county Judge or myself;
and a~e as well acquainted with the
present rold law and its nrnrtical
working, and unanestionably have
the capacity 10 draft the law. | see
no ~cason why. and it seems to me
emirantlr nroper that the proposed
meetins of delegates, elected Mt pre-
ciaet meetings.as Mr.. Blackstone has
suggestoA.) shall be held ct time
when orr representatives can be
present, TINT they present to such
meeting u road Inv which, in their
Judgment. after an examination OF
the road laws % different counties in
this State and the roa laws of other
States, is best suited 10 orr county.
The law thus pre- :eated can b. dis
cussed by the delegates assembled,
and either approved in toto, or such
changes mad rs the meeting deems
proper. In this way our representa-
lives can materially aid the people in
obtaining good road law; whereas
if vou follow Mr.. Blackstone's plan
entirely, our representatives will do
nothing at all in the way of assisting
the people, but simply vote to pass
law that is alrea ~ framed for them.
Let our Representative IS then fix some
day in the early future when they
can meet the delegates, and at what
place, and am sure the people will
be ready to do their part.
Very respectfully,

HlR. EDITOR-The ideas advanced
by Senator Blackstone. as TO the best
manner of ascertaining the views of
the people OF Accomac regarding q
new road law, is to the point and in
the right direction-and now that
one and all of us are interested, let
us act and not longer keep up howl
ing for better roads. Therefore,
would suggest Saturday afternoon or
night, December 18th. as q suitable
time to meet together at our various
voting places and other villages to
draft plans and appoint delegates,
said delegates to meet at Accomac c..
H., Wednesday morning, December
10th. And we respectfully urge all
to go out to their meetings and state
their views, not to wait until after
the meetings are over and then COM
plain at what is done. You as well as
I are interested, SO please interest
yourself and others in the good cause
and attend the meetings.
a good number of our people favor
a change also in cur fence law, and as
we think the people of Accomac gen
orally would be benefited by a mo
fence law" that is, every man to
fence in and take care OF his own
stock, we would suggest that the DO
fence question be discussed at their
road meetings on the 18th, and the
delegates get the sentiments of the
people and that the same be brought
up before the meeting at Accomac G..
H., December 16th-witll the view of
petitioning our representatives to
bring the matter before the people,
so that they can vote for or against
same at the next general election.
This will do no one any harm, for if
the majority favors the present fence
law it will so remain--it will simply
