BEN BUTLER'S BOOK.

"Oh, that mine enemy would not write
that bookr will be the amended exclsma-
tior OF many an actor in the late drama Of
war at the news that Ben BUTLER has sent
his auto biography TO press. Net that he
viii add anything new 20 the history of
that period, or any period since then, but
that ne will enliyen the old recital with a
zest and spirit all his own
or course the book will be read. Every
thing the picturesque BUTLER says Is read.
Some time ago the late Admiral PORTER
dropped remark or two about the general
and lis failure TO capture Fort Fisher, and
then BUTLER responded in newspaper in
terview That interview was read, too.
The language he used was not strictly
chaste, but il was emphatic and breezy and
people liked it.
The only pity is that since BUTLER must
write the book, he did not begin earlier.
Almost all the great actors of the late IN
pleasantness are dead, and, therefore, IN
able 70 defend themselves against any as
persiou the old msn is sure to make. As
the autobiography Is intended for vindi-
cation of the author, it may be assumed
that ne will viudicate himself if he should
have 10 calumny the memory Of every
leader in the conflict Ben BUTLER never
stops at sentiment nor at anything else
where Ben BUTLER is concerned.
Since the book is dedicated ''to the good
and brave soldiers OF the G. A. r."
We presume it will deal chiefly with the
generals military experience and the
events growing out of 1t, but an account Of
his political vicissitudes since then would
be as unique and interesting as anything
that happened in the war.
No man more interruptions than BEN
BUTLER, or more ambitious, ever partici-
pated in our public affairs, and it is trib
ute to his genius that Notwithstanding his
most reckless and abrupt changes Of faith,
he still maintained himself, until year or
two ago. as a potent factor In national
politics.

with threats Of panic which it is doing
Its feeble best to bring about.
The comparison between its bold asser.
ton and the official record quoted in thu
opening of this article gives the Liberia
organ the lie direct More than that, we
might deduce from it, if we ed, the
claim that business is improving just be-
cause Of the removal of the old local fight.
1t is the concurrent opinion of all our
business men that while business is poor
all over the country. it is no worse, if not
etter, here than in any other city outside
of few boom towns
We challenge the Tribune to set its force
OF reporters to work to gather interviews
with bankers and business men of its own
party, and produce a single one contradict
DRY of our statement and confrmatory OF
its own.
Of course in this we exempt the Tribune
itself. Business with the organ is bad ;
and necessarily SO, because of the new
order OF things. In this respect, at least,
the vehement cry of hard times Il well
founded. Since the one issue is dead
which gave the foulmouthed sheet pre-
tence to insult men and women indiscrim-
inately, there is nothing left for it 10 do
but to despair. No wonder business is
bad with it. Poor Tribune.

QUAY.

Gentlemen TO the number of 148, repre-
sentiug themselves as "Pennsylvanlans
and Republicans" and including ministers,
an address to the citizens of the state pro-
testing against Senator QUAY being any
longer the controlling fac tor in the affairs
of the state'' He is denounced az corrupt,
his methods are proclaimed against, and al
together the paper is vigorous indict-
ment of the political boss.
1t all sounds very funny at this time, and
read % it should be read it is an indictment
of the national administration and OF the
Republican party throughout the nation,
and is reflection upon the signers them
selves at no time since Mr.. QuAY has
been before the public has he been less of q
political scoundrel than he is to-day, aud
for years he has been published
far and wide as personally dishonest as
well as politically corrupt Because of his
dishonesty and unscrupulousness, because
of the crookedEess of his methods. because
it was known that he would hesitate at
nothing to accomplish his ends, because ne
was a politician determined to win
at whatever cost to honesty and up
rightness, he was selected as chair
man Of the national Republican COM
mittee and placed in control OF the or
ganization, no strings being attached and
an assurance given that no questions would
be asked. A man of homer and integrity
would not have done for the management
of the work in hand. A good man could not
have found it in his heart to fry enough
fat out of the protected millionaircs to
bride and corrupt enough people to install
the representatives Of a minority in the
White House. Only such a man rs Quar-
could have the brazenness to promise the
WANAMAKERs that if they would raise
enough money to carry the election they
would be given cabinet positions. Quar-
was the man for the occasion. 1t was
corrupt party which he had TO manage, the
election had to be carried, if at all, by fraud

HARD TINES

Ire clearing house returns for the week
ending June 20, 1891, showed decrease
over the corresponding week Of last year OF
$50 per cent. in New York, AS per cent.
in Boston, $50 per cent. in Philadelphia,
1871 per cent. IL Kansas City, 1s.S per cent
in Omaha, IL per cent. in Denver, aud an
increase of 5.5 per cent. in Salt Lake city.
For the week ending June 81, the decrease
in the same cities was respectively, 81. o.
ZIG, 2O.2, 16.s, 14.G and 17.6 per cent, while
the increase in Salt Lake city was $50 per
cent.
IN tie face Of this exhibit the reckless
Tribune has the hardwood TO declare tina,
.sthere has been tightening up here in the
last two weeks of money.
This is the same Tribune which aroused
the community to high pitch of indigna-
tion last fall by asserting through the Illus.
trated American, aud afterwards in ap-
proyal Of the same print, that Utah was on
the verge Of bloody revolution, due to the
Mormon agitation, and thus did all in its
power to brighten capitalists away from
here.
This is likewise the same Tribune which
insisted only three months ago that unless
Mr.. BAcoS's railroad to the Deep Geek
country was built as proposed, values in
this city would drop 80 PEE cent. within q
year.
That irresponsible sheet cannot advocate
or combat a cause without trying to create
false alarm. Since its old bulldozing and
browbeating tactics have lost their effect
and sinceits billingsgate and street vernac-
uiar have become trite by perpetual
use, the last resort Of that de-
lectable rag is TO scare people

NON-PARTIsAN SCHOOLS.

Democrats and decent Republicans are
pronounced in their opposition to introduc-
ing party politics into the management of
the schools. The Democrats of the city
have officially declared themselves in this
matter, and we believe the Republicans
Will 60 the same as soon as they shall come
together. Only the Liberals are in favor
OF bringing the schools under partisan con-
troll. 1t is to be regretted that the question
came up. but now that it has been forced to
the front by the action IF the Liberal COM
mittee. we hope the people, without regard
10 politics, will proceed TO sit squarely down
upon the evil with which the schools are
threatened. THE HERALD has never
inquired as to the politics OF
the retiring members of the school
board, nor do we propose now to ask
We know. from reading the reports Of
the board meetings, that the members are
practically harmonious; we know that the
schools have been reasonably well-managed
during the year, and we believe that the
present board enjoys the confidence of the
taxpayers who generously voted 100000
TO be expended for school houses and fur
n.ture. AS these men are satisfactory as
they are manifestly devoted to the purpose
OF bringing the schools up 20 the highest
standard, and as they have had a years
experience, which must be of advantage to
them, We think il viii be wise and IN the
Interest Of the schools TO continue
them in office: provided, Of course, they
are willing to serve and will continue to be
non-partisan in their administration. The
citizens, OF course, can re-elect them in
spite Of the Liberals, and we hope they
Will do SO, first to establish q precedent
against permitting politics to enter the
schools, and then to rebuke the party so
embittered in its hate that nothing is held
sacred by It

WE THINK the merchants and the public
generally have q right to complain against
the fencing in of the sidewalk and portion
of the street around new buildings, and
also against the unnecessarily high fences.
We don't believe the practice would be
tolerated elsewhere, and think it should be
discontinued here. The fences should
everywhere be cut down TO four feet, and
these should not be permitted to encroacn
upon the street.

Lyman Marble, of Deweyville, met with
q serious accident while logging in the
mountains nineteen miles north Of that
place, says tie Brigham Bugler. He
was following q drag down steep
and tortuous trail which skirted
the border of deep and precipl-
tous gulch. As he walked along, suddenly
the load gave lurch, falling against and
tumbling him over the precipice. AS he
fell he grasped the end of strong strap,
to which he pluckily held on with his
right hand. He hung there until his
brother rushed up and drew him over the
brink. The terrible strain on the arm had
wrenched the bone clean out of the socket.
He was hurried home. DIR. Wade calied,
and soon the dislocated shoulder was SET
