Of education, whoever Hand:wherever, shall
lend their influence in behalf Of excluding
from our American system Of free schools
the issues Of partisan politics.
The citizens Of the several precincts of
this city have nominated - candidates for
the Office Of trustee, men who are qualified
to serve and desirable - trustees OK our
schools, and irrespective of party politics
these citizens believe the men thus NOM
mated should be elected.
They are: First precinct, GEORGE w.
Snow and S. w. DARKE; Second precinct,
L. S. HILLS; Third precinct JOHN N.
PIKE; Fourth precinct, ARTHUR PRATT;
Fifth precinct, NJ. E. CUMMINGS.
These men were chosen because Of their
fitness for the positions, not because. OF
their politics, in meetings Of the citizens at
large called for the purpose. 1t should be
the aim Of all who desire the good of our
bublic schools to elect these candidates.
II the citizens fail of their duty on this
occasion the interests Of the school children
will suffer. Our schools should not be
made annexes of Liberal headquarters.
We leave it to the judgment Of every
voter TO decide whether or not politics
shall be kept out of the schools.

THE BROTHgRS-IN.LAw CANDIDATES.

In casting the vote for school trustees in
the First precinct, even the most intense
partisans will do well to reflect carefully
upon this: On the one hand there are
DUKE and ALFF-brothers- in-law- as can :
didates. Neither has ever had any expert
ence in teaching and both are men of very
limited education. 1t will be well TO COM
pare their qualifications with those O: Snow
and DARKE.
Both of the latter are highly educated,
both have taught school for a long time,
and the services Of Snow on the presen,
school board stand out pre-eminent among
those OF his colleagues. Men of Just that
calibre will keep the board UP to an ele-
waited standard.
II is true that Snow and DARKE will not
get the support of the eminent CUTE, the
vivacions STANTON. the honored patriot
JAKE GRsgSwALD, or the CHESTERFIELD of
the First precinct, WILLIAM SaowELL, but
wIthal, it may be safe to say that the great
majority Of the precinct will cast their
ballots for the non partisan rominees
Mr.. DUKES services on the board
have been so brief that his abil-
tiles have had no chance to
manifest themselves. His friends
however, are circulating the report that it
was ne who obtained $l3,O 900 for the poor
school teachers whom the board was with
out money.
The board has 600, 900 in bonds in its
vaults. and also vested in it over a half
million dollars in property. We should
think that to raise $4,000 at 10 per cent
with all this collateral is not very difficult
operation.
II that is all DUKE can claim in his favor
that he loaned el3. 900 At 10 per cent-on
a million dollars security, he may be q

the extent Of many millions, in some in
stances . premium ~ high Is 25 per cent
being demanded and paid. 1t was better to
pay this premium and thus get the money
In circulation than to let the money lie idle
in the treasury vaults. The billion dollar
Congress and the proHigate administration
have wrought q wonderful change in the
condition of the nations finances. The
surplus has been dissipated, the treasury
resources have been drawn upon to the
fullest extent, the money on deposit with
the national banks where 1t was left to aid
in the transaction Of business il being
called in to meet the current expenses Of
the government, and an Insignificant loan
Of SO. 000, 600 maturing in September can
not be redeemed at par. These bonds are
being extended at lower rate OF interest,
because there is no money in the treasury
with which to take them up.
Happily the American people are getting
their eyes open to the ambition and methods
OF the Republican party. Last November
the people declared in the most emphatic
manner possible that they were tired Of
extravaganza, tired of exoroitant taxation
in order that the money might be squan-
dered on favorites and to advance the cause
of a political party. The rebuke was terrific
IN its effectiveness, and We believe It will
be lasting. In little while the people will
recover control OF the government, and
then there will come an end to the reckless
ness which squanders surplus Of hun
dred millions and while extorting more
money than ever before from the helpless
masses, brings the treasury so close to
bankruptcy that it cannot redeem its paper
when it falls due. In little while the
Democracy Will have control OF the nation
in all its branches and thon we will have
no more OF an empty treasury and appeals
to bond holders not to demand the money
which is due them.

WHO ARE
TO-NORROw's ELECTION.

The school election will be held to-mor-
row, when six members of the city board
of education will be chosen. These men.
together with the four members who hold
over and the mayor, will have absolute con-
troll of the city schools for the next year.
They will dictate in everything, from nam
ing ths superintendent, selecting teachers
and fixing salaries, down to the smallest de-
tails. Not only will they direct as to the
general and specific conduct of tae schools
themselves, but they viii have the expen-
diture Of cool million dollars, that amount
of money having been provided for the
coming school year. We state these facts
in order that the people-the parents, guar
dams and taxpayers-may have q clear an
derstanding of the matter and may thus be
better prepared to act intelligently when
they go to the polls.
Ordinarily, very little interest would
be taken in such an election. A
few weeks ago. when the proposition
was up for adoption or rejection,
TO issue school bonds to the extent of
$500, 900, the public was not greatly con-
cerned. Everybody, apparently, knew
that the money was needed, and every body
was willing TO pay his equitable proportion !;
SO nearly unanimous was the sentiment in
favor of the bonds that all concluded that
IS q matter of course. the loan would be
carried, and as consequence not third of
the voters took the trouble to go to the
polls, the stay at homes concluding that SO
few would vote against the issuance Of the
bonds that the proposition would be carried
even IL only here and there o citizen
strolled to the voting place and deposited
his ballot. Under ordinary circumstances
Q similar Indifference would be manifest
now, and q very small vote would be gotten
out. If the people felt that the money
would be properly expended and the schools
be properly conducted, they would be
willing to let the election go, and
IL would be immaterial to them who
were trustees Of the funds and who man
aged the schools But the circumstances
are anything but ordinary. Indeed, they
are decidedly extraordinary. No sooner
had the people set out TO nominate good
men for the positions, to choose men on &C
count Of their qualifications for the Office
and their general trust-worthiness, with
ont regard TO politics or religion, than the
Liberal bosses came out with declaration
tnst the school board must be partisan
organization il they could have it so; that
the nominees must be selected with a view
to their loyalty 70 the Liberal party, and
that the schools must be placed under
partisan management and control. These
are the things which the Liberal call for
nominating conventions meant and these
were the objects in view when Q ticket

THAT BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS.

The Philadelphia Times presents a con-
densed statement Of what the late billion
dollar Congress did in such q way as to
make the showing plain to the dullest
understanding. 1t says that Congress and
this administration have scattered ga sur
plus Of over one hundred millions; have
made forced loan Of over fifty odd millions
from a sacred trust fund; have increased
taxes on most OF the actual necessarles OF
life, and have brought the national treas.
ury to the verge of bankruptcy. The bill
lion Congress did it and the administration
huzzsed in the procession of profligates.
For many years past the treasury was 30
plethoric that the financial officers of the
government had TO scheme and plan in
order 10 get the money into circulation
among .he people. There was an immense
surplus in the treasury where it was inac.-
tive and doing no good to anybody:
and the effort was to get this money on
and at the same time help the government.
One way TO do this was to purchase and

FOB THE SCHOOLS.

On the Citizens ticket the polite. Of the
nominees for school trustees were not con-
sidered. Some of the candidates are Re
Uub!icaus and some Democrats; we don't
care which. All that we do care Is that
they are agreed upon keeping politics gu;
Of tie schools: upon serving no bosses !;
upon recognizing no masters except the
people; upon countenanc;ng no ioos-in
short, upon the Eesl of the schools which
alons they are to serve.
Therefore, however we may disagree
with any OF the gentlemen In national poll
tics. we can couscientiously support all OF
them on the platform Of no politics or po-
luton in our schooir ooms.

BE WISE IS TIME

we can tell the Liberals, and we do so in
fairness and frankness, that the beginning
OF the end of their party has set in. It
doesn't matter what their organ tells them
to the contrary; 1t doesn't matter what
| their bosses say TO them; the truth is this,
the party is giving its final kick. 1t won't
matter what the result of the approaching
election may be. the organization is In the
last stages OF dissolution. Only in Salt
Lake and in Summit counties do the bosses
hope to make showing in August Every
where else the party is little more than a
memory. 1t will not matter what is done
In the counties named. The triumphs Of
the Democrats elsewhere and the strength,
snail though it may be, which the
Republicans will show, will be so
crushing to the Liberals that even the
bosses will lose hope and will no longer
nave the courage to put forth an effort
We say these things, not for the purpose of
hurting anybody's feelings, nor with the
view to intiicting anyone with discourage
ment but to state plain fact in the hope
that men will be wise enough to be gov
erned by it; in the hope that men will open
their eyes to the true situation, and before
it is too late will place themselves right.
1t is unnatural, it is impossible that the
Liberal party should live. Whatever of
mission it may have had has been per-
formed: its work is ended; there is nothing
for 1t to do nothing to live for, nothing
to hold 1t together. 1t cannot create
issues, there being no material
out Of which to form them. To exist it
must be opposed and have something to
oppose, and this condition does not prevail
and cannot be revived. Heretofore it has
fed and grown fat on its opposition t,
polygamy. Polygamy having ceased,
principal article Of diet has been removed
from the Liberals. 1t has been source of
Liberal strength that the Mormons have
hitherto banded together as unit in poll
tics, voting as one on political questions
This has also been discontinued, and to-day
the Mormons are as widely divided es to
politics as other people. They worship
together in their churches, but they do not
think alike on political questions, and they
are certainly doing their utmost to defeat
each other as to principles and parties.
These were the two causes which led to
the formation of the Liberal party. the two,
things which gave that party an excuse for
living, and they having been removed. the
party cannot live on their memory, nor can
it exist on fighting the shadow of dead and
buried issues.
