NOT OFFICE, PER SIC.


The Tribune still processes to believe that
the party movement in this region of the
U nlted States was started for the sole pur-
pose OF giving certain individuals office;
and as is usual with our morning ccntem-
porary it becomes personal in the pursuit
Oh its subject. 1t was Old-master GOETHE
who said:
Why seek'st thou so far,
When the misery is so near!
The next time the Tribune is in search Of
list of office-holders and office seekers it
might well begin the hunt at home. There
is the manager of the paper, for instance,
who is even now absent on business in con-
nection with an office. Then there is the
editor, who sought Office less than year
ago; and the managing editor, who holds
one down with all his might
and main; and one of their stockholders
and peripatetic contributors, who has
lived on Uncle SANS bounty ever since the
memory of men runneth not to the con-
trary; to say nothing of the annex to the
Tribune Office.
But then, Office holding or office seeking
is no disgrace. Indeed, it is one of the most
honorable privileges OF the American SOW
ereign. Only it is ridiculous in the Tribune
to persuade itself that any one has left the
Liberal party and joined the Democratic
party for the better chance it afforded him
to get an Office. All through this contest,
which is the Liberal death struggle, that
party has held out inducements and prom
ises of recognition to the dissenters, If
they would only come back. Well, did they
Not one.
So far as the Democrats are concerned,
this is with them a fight for principle-for
substitution of American politics for saw
age politics. When IN the course of human
events the offices come their way, as they
needs must, they will be able and willing
to take care of them as thay always have
been in the past.

BOGUS COFFEE.

The Washington Star says that 80 per
cent. of the domestic consumption of
coffee in the United States is supplied by
tho countries Of this continent. But the
Star does not say how much Of the So
called coffee is stuff without any coffee in
it at all. Nor is there any way to make an
accurate estimate.
Many people suppose that authorizations
IN coffee are confined to the ground article
which is sold in packages with a chrome
or prize in each. They innocently think
that whilst these parcels may have some
foreign ingredients, the basis is real cof-
Zee. Yet in many cases, with the exception
of some caffeine extract, it is all made up
OF chicory, ground cocoanut shells, beans,
peas, corn, bran and dozen other sub
stances, perhaps not injurious to health,
but serving to deceive and cheat.
But even when people are buying the
Drowned berry, they are subject TO injuri-
Gus deception. The other day Philadel-
phia manufacturer got on' to an imitation
coffee made of clay and rye -four and sold
to the trade for about 6 cents per pound,
and which is mixed with good coffee in the
proportion of one-fourth of pound of the
bogus stuff to hree-fourths of a pound OF
the genuine berry. 1t seems from his
statement in the Ledger that some time age
the manufacturer referred to sold large
meat-cutting machine, and afterwards two
more of the same kind to the same party,
who from time to time applied for new
feed screws to replace broken ones. The
breakage of SO many screws aroused curl
osity as to how the accidents happened
when it transpired that the machines were
used, not to cut meat, but to grinC
up materials out of which to manufac
ture coffee berries, which is done by
pressure. A sample was put in tumblel
of water, and in short time portion dis
solved, but the rest remained intact, anC
in two or three days became offensive tt
the smell.
Editorially the Ledger mentions factory
recently seized by the French authorities
which used a mi xture of about sevent!
pounds of any kind of -four, thirty pounds
of chicory, or coffee substitute and on
pound of sulphite Of iron. No doubt Their,
are other authorizations.
Can it be possible that grocerymen sci
TO their customers bogus coffee withou
knowing it, or do they reconcile their con
sciences to the selling of 1t on the groun
that it is not deleterious to'health!

HOW THE HONEY is soUANDERED.

It would be useless to deny, and unjust
to attempt it, that this year has witnessed
the inauguration and in some cases the
prosecution of important public improve
ments, notably in the extension of water
mains and in the laying of sidewalks in
this city-improvements. by the way
were not made with the money collected in
taxes but from special assessments. But
it would be useless also to deny that the
improvements are not in proportion to the
burden imposed upon the people for them.
What becomes Of all the money levied in
extortionate taxation is the question that
puzzles many inquiring minds.
An interesting communication in another
part of THE HERALD points out some of the
leakages in the expenditure of the people

out exhausting the subject. We recon

THE PRINCE AND THE CUTTER.

Mrs. MCKEE and Mrs. Russell HARRISON,
the Presidents daughter and daughter-in-
law, arrived from Europe on the steamer
Majestic" Wednesday last, together with
several hundred returning American tour
lists. 1t was an event of no especial i'm
portance, except to these ladies and their
relations and friends. But small-sized
official scandal, or perhaps we should say
bit of gossip, has grown out of it, that puts
the Presidents son in a rather ridiculous
light. This scion of the house of HARRI-
son appears to Eut great store by the cir
cumstance of his progenitor being the in
cumbent of the White House, and suffers
tortures in the thought that the fact may
not be remembered that the President is
possessed of male progeny at all. On Mon
day last he gaily stepped into the Office of
the new collector Of the port of New York,
MIR. FAssETT and let fall the observation
that he desired to have the revenue cutter
Grant placed under his orders, so that he
could take few friends down the bay to
meet the Majestic and have the baggage of
mis- folks transferred and brought up with
out delay. Mr.. FAssETr scratched spot
on the northwest section OF his Uranium,
shook the whole of the same slowly and
thoughtfully, and with that plying smile
that gentleman decorates his face with
before declining your proposition, an
nounced he did not think he had the full
amount of authority requisite to grant the
request. The prince was amazed. An
appointee of the administration showing
such audacious spirit was something he had
not calculated upon, and no doubt were
FAssETT not in reality tue creature Of Boss
PLAT his head would have gone Oft "too
quickn
The secretary of the treasury was ap-
pesled to, but he sustained the negative of
the collector, until, as is stated, the
Presidents wife took the matter in hand,
and the desired order was given. And SO
the revenue cutter Grant steamed down
toouarantine Tuesday morning with Prince
Russ" his mother and a few others Oh
board. There was heavy fog, in which
the Majestic passed the cutter unnoticed
and but for the big steamers whistle being
recognized by the Grants officers Mrs.
MCKEE and her sister in-law would have
remained with the other passengers on the
White Star line until she reached hel
pier.
There have been two occasions when sim

AN INTERESTING event took place in
Paris last Thursday night. 1t was cele-
bration in the famous opera house of that
renowned city of the centenary of JACOB
MEYER BEER, who is better known to the
musical world as GIACoMo MEYERBEER, the
celebrated composer. In these days, when
WAGNER's operas remain under the ban of
the F'renchman's sheer because they were
written by g. German, MEYERBEER's origin
is forgotten for the reason that he aban-
doned his native land in his youth, changed
his name and assimilated with his later
surroundings. At all events his music ia
in Paris preferred to even DoNIzETTIs
and we shall expect to find in the reports
of the celebration that the greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed.

THE CITY EXTOKTlON

HE HERALD does not marvel that that
the kilograms recently published in this
paper showing the rate of taxation OBTAIN
ing IN other western cities has been ig-
nored by the Liberal press and spologists
OF our city mis-g government. These dis
patches from the city auditors of Omaha,
Denver. Kansas City, San Francisco Los
Angeles, Sacramento, Portland and Ia
coma, show that with one exception Salt
Lake is paying more in city taxes than any
other city in the west and a feeling of in
Gignation was engendered through this in
formation among the taxpayers. No won
der the Liberal press keeps its
hands off and its tongue in. The
figures damn the Liberal administra-
ton, juggle with them as one may.
That Salt Lake requires seven times what
San Francisco does, double what Portland
requires, three and half times more than
Sacramento, per cent more than Omaha
and Kansas City and almost 80 per cent
more than Denver. to take care of her citi-
zens and their needs is an assurance which
even the sheet that feeds on city pap will
not dare to defend.
We republish the pregnant figures here
for the general information. They repre-
