THE PEOPLE VS.. THE CITY.

Every day brings fresh indications of the
efforts of the people to protect themselves
against the rapacity of their supposed ser
vants-the officers of the city government.
Beginning its career in fraud, its mem
bers holding on to offices to which court
decision showed they had not been elected,
the Liberal administration is now regarded
by many as a conspiracy to rob and plumber
the city.
Suit after suit has been brought to resist
the rapacity of the city government, and to
check the mischief of its malicious play at
law making.
The latest examples are the injunction
filed by Councilman PIcKARD to preserve to
the people piece of valuable public prop
erty in the shape of ten acres of land in the
heart of the city, and the action of directors
to the special tax for water mains. In our
opinion the people should encourage both
these movements to restrain the extrava-
CANT carelessness of the city officials, or
there is no telling where that extravaganza
will end.
There are needed several HAMPDENs just
now to withstand the tyranny of high tax
alton and wanuon extravaganza. Every
extra dollar of which the people are fieeced
is another dollar wasted by the Liberal ad-
ministration. Public policy at the present
time requires that not dollar shall go into
the public treasury beyond the amount
raised by legitimate means, and required
for actual ordinary expenses. The present
government has shown itself unworthy to
be trusted beyond the limit of doing those
things which admit of no delay. The citi
zens should resist with vigor every new
| imposition.

OUR MORNING contemporary is endeav
orlng to make it appear that local bank is
responsible for the decline of the city's
credit, that bank having sold municipal
bonds below par. AS the bank in question
is one of the shrewdest, most far-s seeing and
best conducted financial institutions in the
country, it probably parted with the cor
poration bonds when it saw indications, in
the councils recklessness and extrava-
gance, that the city would be unable to
meet its obligations when they fell due.
Another year of Liberal incompetency and
misrule will make it impossible to dispose
of corporation bonds on any terms. The
bank was probably wise in getting out while
it could escape.

JUDGE BEATTY'S VICTORY.

President HARRISON has now appointed
JAMES H. BEATTY United States Judge for
the district of Idaho. We think better of the
President for doing this. We like man
who will strike back, and he has struck
back in an effective manner Judge
BEArTY's nomination failed Of confirmation
in the Senate because he was opposed by
the Idaho Senators, and he was opposed by
them for no other cause than that he had
been man enough, as private citizen. to
refuse to be one OF their benchmen. The
gentleman was accused of various evil
deeds, but when he faced his
nccusers with an emphatic denial, they
were silent, and thus confessed that they
were slanderers. His vindication was so
complete that the judiciary committee,
made up of political opponents as well as
party friends, unanimously recommended
his confirmation, and his nomination would
have gone through smoothly under any
other circumstances than those existing
A single objection to consideration could
delay.action twenty -four hours, and then
the session would end. An outgoing Sen
ator was found who hated HARRISON with
such intensity that he was ready to do any
thing to annoy the President, and he OBJ
,ected TO the consideration of the nomina-
ton, thus preventing the confirmation.
The President has now made the
appointment which will put Judge BEATTY
Oh the bench where he cannot be disturbed
before the meeting of Congress next De-
cember. Theu the nomination will go to
the Senate and will of course be confirmed,
as an objection there will not delay action
until the close of the session.
The best thing about this whole business
Is that the presumptious Idaho Senators
have destroyed their influence with the ad-
ministration and will hereafter not be in
position to ask fayors from the President.
They viii have to take a back seat, and it
is not likely that many of their henchmen
will be rewarded for their services with fat
offices.

THE Trib. explains that the old bonds
are at the same discount as the new ones
are, and that 'they were made so by the
Deseret bank Of this CITY," OF course they
are. All bonds, old or new, are at dis
count, and it is feared they will be as long
as thepresent administration is in power.
The discount Of all bonds at any given time
is measured by the ability of the issuer to
redeem them from appearances at that
time. All bonds, old or new, are at par
when the clty's finances are in sound
condition, and below par when the city is
bankrupt; hence all bonds are below par
during the present Liberal rule.

As THE HERALD predicted weeks ago
would be done, the secretary of the Senate
has placed the name of FRED DUBOIS on the
roll as a Senator from Idaho for the term
beginning on March 4. DUBOIS will draw
the salary at least until December, when
the Senate will pass upon the claim of
CLAGETT TO the seat. We have never
thought there was much chance for CLAGETT
to win, and this action by the secretary
makes it reasonably certain that he will
have all his trouble for nothing. Had he
not been assured that he was right and
would be sustained, the secretary would
not have decided in favor of DUBOIS.
