AN EXHIBITION OF OFFICIAL
FOLLY.

FOLLY Of the msjoriiy Of the new
City Council has been made fully mani
Test. The prosecution Of n barber for
ioing business on Sunday has resulted
In a conviclioa. The Commissioner
trying the case declared the City Coun-
ell TO DO M blamable rs the defendant
rhey had no right TO pass such resolu-
lion ne that which deceived the bari "
aud lcd to his infrsction Of the law.
The idea that because n number OF
men were elected 10 the City Council
they could authorize people to violate
The laws, appears too absurd for any one
outside Of = lunatic asylum to entertain.
And that majority OF tho "LiberaP
members sdopted and maintained II TO
the extent OF formulating II into iegis'
iation, IL evidence Of their mental cali
bre and their unfitness for public Office
But tina, IL all OF a piece with the policy
Of the faction they represent
They may, however, offer as some
excuse for their proceedings,
tho fact that tho new city
attorney actually framed for them
an ordinance which went still further
and authorized all BARRIERS to keep open
their places Of business on Sundays.
This In spite Of the wen known statute
making such conduct misdemeanor.
But then he is a Liberal" attorney and
that may account for II all.
The Sunday shaving business Ia
stopped, and the BARRIERS, who almost
universally objected TO being compelled
TO work on Sundays, can take the day
Of rest, which they need M much as
anybody. In common with other work
ere, and without any fear that special
favon win be granted to class or
special labors DO required Of them, and
the action Of the "Liberal' majority
Of the City Council stands out rs a
glazing sbsurdlty.

TIE MECCA OF POLITICIANS.


MIsSEAPoLis IL now the grandest
centre 10 which all eyes, Republican
and Democratic, are looking. From
every quarter OF the Republic train
loads Of party men are on the way TO
to their temporary party metropolis.
Many train loads have already arrived.
The Utah contingent, headed by
Alessrs. Cannon and Salisbury, the
delegates OF the regular Republican
party here. arrived safely on the 3rd

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

THE political siiuatlon Is one Of rus
pense. The country IL watching the
movements Of the factions at Min
neapolls with bated breath. IL II to
be Harrison, or Blaine, or neither
That Ia the momcntous question. This
foregone conclusion OF month ortwo
ago, that Blaine was empnstically out
Of the field, turns out to DO mntter Of
doubt, after all, and this IL what COM
plirat.s Affairs and disturbs all settled
calculations.
That Blaine IL not q candidate Is
firmly believed by everybody who I'M
dcrstands the man and the party TO
which he belongs. That he would re-
fuse tho unanimous call OF the pariy's
representatives Is considered unres-
sonable, IN spite Of the fact that he
does not desire the position which
would entail upon him labor and
responsibilities from which he shrlnks.
That Blaine Is far more popular than
Harrison cannot be denied. That he
would stand n greater chance Of cleo
ton IL open to debate. The President
hiss conducted respectable admins
trstion, and while he is not ardently
loved by the Republican masses, he
has maintained their respect, and he
IL strong In quarters where Blaine
would he weak.
We do not believe there is any quar-
rel between these two prominent men.
II looks more a. n there was fair
understanding between them. Blaine

is 10 have every opportunity for re-
nomination, II he fails ON the first
OF second ballot, then the way Is TO be
clear without prejudice for Blaine,
ifthe JIlit Of sentiment shall run In
his direction. This IL how the matter
seems TO stand.
But II IL not improbable that the
President will show strength enough
In the start TO place hun once more In
the front. Notwithstanding the
npurt that has been made for
the man Of Maine, the foremost
Of Republicans, there are great many
delegates pledged for thePresident and,
n II is seen that he runs close 10 the
necessary number, many OF tho doubt
full ones will 20 over 10 his side.
As to Blaine, he cannot consistently
accept tho nomination after his declln.
alton, unless It comes by reclamation
or by such majority rs to make II
clear that the party wants him beyond
n doubt. There would be much en-
thusiasm for hin, and It would be very
Widespread, but II would not DO uni.
versal and the result would by no
means be surs.
II Is possible that the rival factions
win 10, disturb Affairs that
neither Of these strong men will
secure the nomination early In
tho Fight. A dark horse may
come to the from, aud be found a ne.
cessity. II 40, we do not believe the

or Harrison may carry tho country;
any other man. however worthy, will,

POLITICS IN BRITAIN.

DISPATCHES from London state that
the present British Parliament Ia vif.
iuslly ended, and th al Queen Victoria
will be present at Windsor Castle to
accept the rcsignations OF her minister
before June 20.
The coming political struggle In the
British Islands promises to be about NJ
exciting and intcres ting ms our Preei'
dental campaign here. Until Mr..
Gladstone speaks, what the iSaues may
be can not be fully asoertalncd. II IL a
forgone conclusion, howevsr, that "a
measure Of home rule for Ireland will
constitute a cardinal question OF the
general elections. But to what extent,
or In what mannerthis autonomy may
be outlined by tho Liberals is not ye,
agreed on.
The London Chronicle, heretofore rs
anti.home rule paper, has gone over to
the eide Of Mt Gladstone. II Is the
organ u the labor movement and also
Of the advanced Liberals. Its dofsc.
ton from the Unionist side Is signiG-
cant, lnasmuch M It Il supposed TO
echo the sentiment OF the London
working classes especially. The reR-
son for its change IL ascribed to letter
written by Michael Davit;, on the
situation ~ u whole, in the British
Islands. He contends that It Is To the
Interest Of the Empire to paclfy Ire
land, discourage landlordi.m and to
foster home industry. In TACT his let
ter brea,hes protective tarii spirit.
Judging from this, issues Of an econc-
mic character, secondary, however, TO
home rule, are likely to bo co nsldered
during the pending struggle.

A CUNNING SCHEME.

WE have already alluded to the suit
planted ia the Third District Court
TO restrain tho Treasurer Of Salt
Lake City from paying this increase OF
salary voted TO two Of the city officials.
Some establishment has been expressed
that Powers and Hiies should be en-
gagged Ia n scheme TO cut down the
wages OF two ''Liberal" city officers.
The inquiry Ia raised, what does II
mean7 The explanation Is simple.
The new City Council, after entering
upon their duties and appointing their
officers, proceeded TO make = new
schedule OF sslariei, cutting down u
number and raising n few No NJ 10
equaliEe them little more. But they
were warned that this was Illegal; that
they could not do this during
the incumbency Of the offices by the
men whom they had appointed. But
there are men In that body who, rs In
the Sunday barberlng case, seemed to
think they were above all such
restrictions A. the law Imposed In these
matters. So they went ahead and did
as they pleased. But the act for the
incorporation Of cities provides:
"rho Mayor aud Conncilmen Of any
city shall receive such compensation ~
the City Council may by ordinance
direct, but their compensation shall not
be changed during their term Of once;
aud all other officers may receive a
salary, fee, or other compensation, to bo
fixed by ordinance; and after tho same
has boon once fixed such fcos or compon-
salion shall not DO increased or dimin-
iAhed to take effect during tho torn for
which any such officer was elected or
appointed"
This Ia plain enough, or ought TO be,
even for n "Liberal" Councilman.
But tho change was made after the
officers were appointed aud most
o'them kicked vigorously because It
cut down their compensation. And
hsre comes in the explanation Of the
movement to prevent tho increase OF
salary Of two officials. II the suit IL
gained the decision win work two
ways,as It la said every good rule ought
10 do. II the Council cannot raise the
compensation OF these two officials II
cannot cut down the salaries Of the
ethers. And II Ia believed that while

Mr.. Bliss bowed and proceeded.

where / first became familiar with the

it, and the next instant l was shooting
down that slippery sheet of glass like a
meteor. The fire flew up from the sled
runners as though were riding over burn

it seemed as if the wind would tear my
clothes off. l simply shut my eyes, ducked
my head and held on like grim death. The
