Tho Kansas Democrats have decided to ask
MIR. CLEVELAND to appoint cN. Governor CLICK
Secretary OF Agriculture. Mr.. CLICK is a nico
man. but II there must be a Secretary OF Avri-
culture. that official should come from Boston
or New York or somo other city. Such man,
q coal dealer. let us say. or an I'm
porter OF china. would be aware that
no knew nothing about ngricuture and he
would be less likely to botch and bother than
II he came from an agricultural community.
II. however. Mr.. CLICK can prove that he
doesn't know clover from beans. he is eligible.
and there can be no objections from an agri-
cultural point of view to his appointment

We feel that things are getting back on
the old track again when tho Tribune says. in
discussing new municipal building. that tho
Tammany officials have sct their greedy eyes
upon the scanty green space surrounding the
City Hail." But what docs our contem porary
mean' Do the Tammany officials want to cat
the grassp Do they want to swallow the dirt !?
Why should they DO greedy for the City Hall
Park? Would 1t agree with them or profit
them? There must be change in the Re-
publican conception of Tammany officials
when 1t presents them as frowninC upon a
proposition to expcnd more public money to
buy land. and preferrinG to use land which
the city already owns.
All the same the City Hall Park contains the
proper site for her municipal building.

The start given to yachting by Lord D1-S-
| RAVENS challenge is encouraging. 1t is reason
able to expect many surprises in the speed

Is greater freedom OF idea and practice among
| American designers than there is among their
brethren III England some queer looki ~ things
may be seen floating around In our waters next
summer. IL the models OF the Wasp and
Gloriana hal been exhibited to any yachting
committee in this country twenty years ago,
they would have been regarded as monst
ties and set down as the work ola crank: but
here they are to-day. and the fashion in which
they have taken the lead is likely to remain
for some time to come.
1t is said by the gentlemen who are fond
OF that apparently childish game called minia-
ture yachting that it was they who introduced
tho outside lead laast in the modern cutters.
However this may lie. it is beyond dis rute that
tho l.ad-loadcd keel is the favorite now
and nearly all the cracks in existence or
in process Of construction are furnished
with tits heavy luxury. The notion that
the liGht-drnught ceat. cboarder had an
immense advantage over the keel boat, when
running free. because tho board could be
raised. has been completely exploded. 1t has

This. We are informed by people who profess
to know is the result OF an old and radical
defect in tho midsection OF the British type of
yacht. However that may be. 1t is beyond dis
putc that tho yachtsmen Of this country have
had a wider experience In the different models
OF racing craft than the Enclishmen can
boast OF.
In Great Britain the game OF sand bag toss

difference between q race among sand.bag

somewhat like the contrast presented be-
tween u steeplcchase and n trotting match.
The knowledge which American yachtsmen OF
the daredevil type have acquired through ex-
periencc in their open boats has helped them
considerably in tho work OF laying down lines
to beat their rivals.

FAULTY LIENIENCY.

The Examiner ably discusses the
act of the Governor of Tennessee
in showing such mercy to Col. King
the cold blooded murderer of his
friend:
The saving Of Colonel H Clay
King Of Memphis from the gallows
through the Communication of his
sentence to imprison ment for life
by the Governor of Tennessee will
probably not excite elsewhere that
fierce condemnation which ia express
ed in the locality where the parti-
culars Of his crime are vivid i'll the
public mind. The general feeling
will be made of modified satisfaction.
the picture of a man of talent, attain
ments and high rank as lawyer, who,
after gallant career as soldier
had achieved a front place at the
bar, pacing condemned cell, crush
ed. disgraced, ruined and half crazed,
was terrible one, and naturally
awakened pity. 1t was felt that this
man of brains and education, against
whom at his trial his own digest of
the laws of Tennessee was quoted
with effect by the prosecution, must
in the degradation and horror Of his
situation have suffered agoniess un-
known to the ordinary criminal, and
hat he had already died thousand
deaths. That this telling is strong
In Tennessee as well as elsewhere,
is proved by the Governors yielding
to the pressure that was brought to
bear upon him. Nevertheless, the
people of Memphis who are so We
hemently protesting against this act
of clemency are right, and the con-
trary popular feeling elsewhere,
however natural, is wrong.
Precisely to the extent that Col
onel King, by reason of his superior
intelligence and honorable past, is
capable of suffering more than the |
ordinary criminal is his moral guilt
greater than that of the ignorant and
debased man who commits murder. |
Every consideration founded npon
Kings intellect and position as
gentleman, which now evokes pity
for him, should have been an insur-
ance against the commission of the
crime for which he has escaped the
righteous penalty. Despite the fact
that he had been brave soldier and
was ranked by himself and others as
a man of honor, his deed of blood
was to the last degree cowardly. He
shot down without warning an unre-
sisting man whose hand was stretch
ed out to him in profered amity. 1t
does not lessen the cowardice of the
assassination that the man whom he
slew had as lawyer in court made
an indefensible reference to Mrs.
King. If that insult was one which
according to old-fashioned Southern
notions called for deadly weapons,
the shot should have followed in
stantly upon the affront or, been
withheld until fired under the code.
Colonel King, the eminent lawyer,
the soldier and gentleman, commit
ted as foul murder as ever was
done by the coarsest ruffian. And it
Is rightly held by the friends of jus
tIce in Tennessee that the Governor
clemency is an inexcusable and dan
perous discrimination which cannot
but deepen the too prevalent con-
viction that wealth and position have
privileges under the law that are de-
MED poverty and ignorance. Ten
.nessee's repute as law-respecting
State has been injured by the too
merciful act of its Governor.

TOO THIN.

Mr.. F. q. CARPENTER, in his very inter-
esting letter published by The HERALD
last Sunday, said he had bought shawl in
Moscow, $50 large that it would cover the
biggest double bed in America, and SO fine
that it viii go through lady's ring" But
that was not nearly so flmy as the Tri5u5ae's
explanation of DR.. ILlFF's stolen address.
Forty thousand cancels hair explanations
like it would go through the eye of a cam
brio needle. We print this hog-wash else
where all alone by itself, to show how thin
aud watery DR.. ILlFF is when he is left to
his own resources and the weak aid of our
contemporary, the doctor being unwilling
to tackle the subject by himself. The gist
of this cruelty rot is that somebody, whose
name is not given, was to have delivered
the address, but funked on 'sthe day prior
to the meeting" and the good Dr. LIFE
was informed that the whole burden would
rsst on him. We observe, however, that in
the Sunday papers our orator was put
down in the programme for the Address
of the Evening" In the 1ribatnes account
of the doings there was not syllable about

OFFICE TIE SOLE INCENTIVE.


The Liberals OF Corinne who only a few
days ago were declaring the unlikelihood
OF their disbandment and subsequent
alignment with the national parties, met in
conference last weeE, and the outcome of
the consideration was an almost unanimous
vote to dissolve the party and do their
lighting hereafter as Democrats and Re-
puDLcans They are TO be congratulated
upon getting into line, aud we hope this
action will be followed by better feeling
among all classes in Box Elder county.

occur to anybody that the Liberal organi-
cations are not breaking up very rapidly in
those places where there are spells or Office

Liberals think they have fighting chance
Tor the offices, hence they conclude it
would be unwise to be Democrats or Re-

ais in Utah county, and they went into
the other parties, whilst here in Salt
Lake the boss tells them if they
will hold together they can have
two more years of Office holding and the
expenditure of the public money. The
boss promise, aided by the bad politics Of
the Republicans, Is likely to keep the ma
iority OF Liberals in this county within the
ranks until they are routed. by the Democ-
racy. when they will, like the Liberals of

pies which actuates the party referred to.

To Appropriate AnOther's Property.
From the Salt Lake Tribune, Sept. 10.
''THE HERALD yesterday made great
parade charging the Rev. T. G. lift with
plagiarism in delivering certain lecture
before the Salt Lake Young Mems Christ
ian association. A statement of the facts
is the best answer. DR.. Tiff was asked to
be present at their convention and TO make
few remarks, the information being given
that another gentleman would deliver the
main address, The day prior to the meet
ing circumstances made the presence OF
the other gentleman impossible, and DR..
Lift was informed that the whole burden
OF the address would rest upon him. He
did the best he could. When he arose to
address the audience, he explained the Cir
cumstances and asked the favor of the au
dience, first, TO permit him TO go out OF the
usual way and read his manuscript and,
SECOND, nc explained that not having mad
time TO prepare an appropriate lecture for
the occasion he begged permission to quote
largely from Others. When the lecture was
over, tue Tribune reporter asked him for
the manuscript, and In The hurry he gave 1t
10 him without explaining any OF the
circumstances, and 1t was so puD-
iished; but it worried Dr. llitT
so much when it appeared with
out credit to anyone else that he called to-
gether mis- brother clergymen IN this terri
Tory and ex planned ths whole situation to
them, Offering to make any amends possi-
bic. They said nothing was needed. In
point of fact the good-heartedness of the
man prompted him to undertake more than
he could carry through, and combination
of accidents made it look as though he had
Intentionally palmed off part of the ad-
dress Of another gentleman as his own.
There is nothing in it all, and the attack Of

the part of newspaper that knew nothing
of the facts. amounts to nothing in the
light Of the facts.

IT TURNS out that the big Republican
rally at Ellwood, Ind, the other day, osten-
sibly to open a new tinplate works, was
really to advertise a land company owning
$500 lots held at $500 apiece. This com
pany got a paid-up subscription of s32, 900
from Ellwood people on promise to estab-
lish 100000 plant that would pay 80 per
cent. profit, but instead they got a S50, 900
plant employing forty men, ten boys
and nineteen girls. Four of the principal
investors who had been gulled placarded
the town the day of the MCKINLEY rally
with an offer TO sell their tinplate stock at
discount. with no takers. All the tin
used comes from Malay Peninsula, but the
fuel, which is natural gas. Is American.
