WASHINGTON LET
TER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II, 1S9
The president is not worrying himself
about the cyclone of bills which have
been introduced in the house by the
democrats. He knows, as do the aa
thors of these bills, that there is not
even slight possibility that any bill re-
pealing or tampering the proper ad-
ministration of any law enacted by the
fifty first congress will become a law
during the life of the fifty-secend CEN
gress; and there is no doubt that he
in common with others has been amused
to see the aatics of the leaderless ma
jority in the house. The president is
going right ahead preparing his pro-
clamation of retaliation, warning
which has been given tho countries
interested, against those countries
which have neglected to negotiate reci-
prociprocity ag1eements with us, just
as though Representative Andrew had
not introduced bill repeating the
clause of the reciprocity law which
gives the president this authority. The
proclamation will be issued on the 10th
of March, and will restore the duty
which existed before the Mckinley tar.

Congressman Johnson's bill pro-
viding for the. election of United
States senators by direct vete of the
people is receiving much attention
by congress. Mr.. johnson arose to
a question Of privilege and told the
nations statesmen how lie had been
cheated out of seat in the United
States senate by trickery at Bismarck
and he wants the senator's to be
elected by the people instead of by
the legislature. He thinks there is
too much "monkeying" in the pres
ent system and we agree with him.
Let the people choose for them
selves.

Orrin l.. North was born i'm Pennsyl.

that lie could accommodate others. He

practiced the true christianity which lie
professed, and when on his death bed,
he did rot forget his savior and he died
with the sunlight of Gods love shining
on his face, at peace with his God and
all mankind. He was indeed a noble

when the sad intelligence reached the
members of our lodge that our brother
had passed to that bourne from which
no traveller returns" each and every
one felt that they had not only lost 81
friend but 81 brother indeed. He was
the head of the little community in

widow and orphans, but by the people
all through that section of Barnes coun-

funeral obsequies the next day. Mrs.
North and family have tile heartfelt
sympathy of their friends.

Another of those pleasant tiddledy-
wink parties was held at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. P. X. Trubshaw last
Friday evening. Only four tables were
in operation but the people who ran the
tables had fun enough for four times as
large number. Hon. David Bartlett
and Mrr. G. w. Bathey carried off tho
first prizes. Mr.. Bartlett had had a
splendid opportunity to practice during
the week and doubtless improved the
occasion. Mrs. j. N. Brown and Mrs.
Will Carleton verv successfully and
skillfully carried off the BOBBY prizss.
Refreshments were served at Fl 80 and

andthey were taught to believe that the
king ruled ny divine right, aud as the
baron ruled by virtue of the favor Of the
king, in him were reflected something Of
that divine right of which the king was
the sun and center. Therefore to resist the
expressions OF the baron was to resist,
in part at least, the authority of COP.
Hence they bowed in servile submission. to
his authority and thought it a virtue to kiss
the hand that smoIe them. But that has
all passed lis all in the eternal past. The
people have different education now, at
least in this country. They have learned
that they are sovereign; that political
power inheres in them; that the officers of
government. instead of ruling by divine
right and as class apart and superior to
the people, are but the public servants of
the people, whose duties are prescribed by
laws and constitutions beyond which they
must not go in the exercise of authority.
Ii they do they are themselves subject to
punishment by The law, and must answer

THAT COUNCIL C0MRINE.

There is a good deal said in the papers
and on the street about a combination in
the city council to wage war upon the
mayor It is alleged that eight councilmen
have formed an alliance for the purpose OF
making the mayors life burdensome-
Some recent votes in the council are re
ferred to in veri6cation Of this allegation.
and we are told that the contest is to be
kept up to the end Of the term.
eaLet US remark to those who are talking
IN the manner suggested, that they are
not giving the people credit for ordinary
common sense when they expect these
stories to be believed. and they are reflect
ing on the ability. the honesty and the in
tegriiy alike of the mayor and the eight
councilmen. The assumption is that the
mayor is going to do things which are
wrong, hence the combination against
aim, or that the eight members of the
council are going to persist in opposing the
mayor right or wrong Either proposition
IS both ludicurous and vicious. We don't be-
lieve there is a man in the council who would
oppose the mayor merely for the sake of
defeating the latter. We don't believe
there is a councilman who would antag-
onize any proposition the mayor might ad-
vance which the councilman thought was
right. We believe the eight viii stand by
the mayor in all things which their honest,
intelligent judgment commends, and that
they will support him in everything they
deem proper for the public welfare. We
would not like to think the people of Salt
Lake had elected to Office men who would
be mean solely for the purpose of CRAFTY
ing disposition to meanness.
II is not unlikely that antagonism be-
tween the mayor and some councilmen
viii arise. Indeed. such antagonism mas
already arisen. The mayor went out of
bis way some time ago TO gratuitously re-
fleet on certain members of the council,
and his assault was resented, and very
properly so; but that didn't argue that the
mayor would be fought in other matters
when he was within the line Of duty and
right
THE HERALD thinks it knows well
enough the eight councilmep said &c
have formed a combine against his
honor, to be able to say they will
do as much as other members to
hold up the hands of the mayor in all his
efforts to give this city good administra-
ton. They are interested in the welfare OF
Salt Lake quite as much as the mayor can
be, and ought to be as eager rs ne to make
q good record while in Office. If there is
any combination, we believe it has been
formed in the interest Of the public, and
not to make personal or political fight on
the mayor

between Chicago and New York-drawing
room, sleeping cars, dining cars and elegant
day coaches. Pullman company's build,
lighted by gas, heated by steam-and in an
hours travel the modern Home" will
cover long days journey of the old van,
while comforf, convenience and even luz
