uNKARRANTEn REELECTION.


We hear much nowadays about holding
up the hands, of the mayor and the chief
Of police in their efforts to suppress the
Sunday saloon and close the gambling
houses. Ministers Of the gospel and other
good people are saying we must stand by
the mayor in the work ne has underta taken
Even the city council has been exhorted to
support the municipalities chief magistrate
and principal executive officer in what they
have set out to accomplish All Of this talk
may have an extremely moral tone to it,
but do those who are putting on so much
earnestness and are making such hubbub
over the business understand the full
meaning of what they are saying and of
their high sounding resolutionss Do they
realize that they are really assailing the
mayor and the chief of police who are bent
on performing their full dutyl That they
are attacking the city council, which has
manifested no disposition to interfere with
the officials in the enforcement of the law!
That they are saying the Salt Lake COM
munity have been go immoral and de-
PRAYED that it is a new thing for them TO
suggest that it would be good thing if the
officials charged with the duty were to up
hold the ordinancesl If we know Mayor
BAsKIN and Chief PAUL those gentlemen do
not feel that they are being interfered with
or handicapped by any Of the elements from
which they might reasonably expect sup
port. They are opposed only by the lawless
classes, and fortunately these comprise but
a small proportion of the community. The
masses of the Salt Lake people are law
abiding and law loving, and they don't have
to declare their readiness to hold up the
hands OF an official bent on enforcing the
ordinances. What has annoyed the people
is the fact that so many of the officials have
neither been inclined nor possessed the
courage to attempt to uphold the law. The
mayor and the chief of police appear TO IN
derstand that they have taken an oath to
perform certain duties, among them being
the enforcement of the ordinances forbid
ding gambling and prohibiting the sale Of
liquor on the first day Of the week; and
what is OF greater Importance is the fact
thai these officials seem to think the people
of Salt Lake expect them to honor their
oaths of Office. They don't regard the COM
munity IS in any sense banded against
them, but know that all good people, com
prising the overwhelming majority, are
with them IN their efforts. Only the viola
tors of the law are opposed to the officials,
and these are not the ones TO whom the
pietists appeal.
Speaking plainly, THE HERALD regards it
in the light Of a reflection on the officials
and on the Salt Lake public when men as
sumo to applaud officers for performing
plain and simple duty and call upon people
to "hold up the hands" of tn officials for
attempting to do what they took an oath TO
perform.

TALKING WITH THE STARS.


An aged lady named Madame GUzMAN
who died last June in France, left legacy
of 100000 francs to the person who, within
ten years, shall discover q means OF get
ting communication other than light and
attraction from star, particularly the
planet Mars; the money, after the lapse of
the time mentioned, to be applied to the
increase of knowledge concerning the &C.
lestial bodies. The bridge of light and the
touch of gravitation are already ours, but
what is required are sounds, or waves of
sound, and signals, and these are mere
speculative possibilities in the brains of
astronomers like PLANTATION and ScHIA-
PARELLI. So remote, indeed. are the
chances Of the present Investigations that
are going on nightly at every noted observ-
atory in the world developing anything to
prove that communication may be had
with Mars. that Prof. HOLDEN of the LICK
Observatory has felt impelled to address a
note to the Associated Press on this sub
iect. He warns US not to expect it will be
shown that the planet Mars is either popu-
lated or fit to be inhabited. So far indeed
the prominent markings seen in previous
years have been readily visible, In
Guiding the canals and the two
satellites, Deimos and Phobus, but
it is doubtful if the present
proximity some 30, ZOO 900 milss-will af-
ford any additional knowledge to that al
ready possessed.
1t has been noticed that new observa-
tons generally lead to new perplexities
and confusion among the wise scholars and
savants who feel the most interest in such
subjects. There are always conditions"
present or wanting to interfere with such
scientific Investigations. 1t was ScHI-
APoRELLI, we believe. who discovered tue
canals, and it is wonder that other star
gazers have not come along with testimony
as to the locks and dams. as well as shade
trees along their bsnks. Professor SWIFT,
the great American comet sharp, thinks
the different planets were made to be in
habited, but not all at the same time. To
which reason replies, "Well, hardly"
since 1t would require one to fancy people
living on the planet Mercury so near the
sun that lead and zinc would melt or say
on Neptune, where the temperature is re-
ported to be 900 degrees below zero.

the contests and not few young ladies
and gentlemen can trace their entrance to
the field of literature to the encourage
ment extended by this paper. The many
prize poems and Christmas and other
stories entered in The HERALD competi-
tions testify to the presence of the Muse in
this TERRITORY, and to the existence of
literary ability Of high order. In har-
mony with its policy in this respect, The

ical, traditional or rea) or unique incidents
connected with the early history Of the
territory.
The manifest aim must be to emphasize
the name of Utah and to glorify it.
The competition is open to every resident
as above, without regard to age, sex or
previous condition.
Each competitor must sign his or her
poem by letter or figure and forward to
the secretary of the Deseret Agricultural
and Manufacturing society in a separate

dress of the writer, accompanied by the

WILLIAM WHITMAN, treasurer Of the Ar
lington mills, had the gall to dispute an
assertion made by Senator VEST relative
to the profits of that concern, claiming that
the mills had paid only 6 per cent. Mr..
VEST few days ago showed that they had
not only declared 6 per cent. dividend, but
had put 5000, coo into its surplas, and that
the profits in 1891 were $932, s0S-equal to
80 per cent. he also read from Mr.. WHIT
MANS annual report to the directors to
show that the Arlington mills had for sew
eral years earned over % per cent. And,
in reference to MIR. WHITMAN's denial of
strikes and labor troubles, Mr.. VEST sent
to the clerks desk and had read items from
the Boston Herald and other newspapers
showing that there were strikes at those
mills owing to low wages and hard work.

VEsTs original statements had been de-

HOME RULE FOR UTAH.
FsrritOrial Policy Of tho National Democratic
Party.

From the Chicago Platform. june 1892
We soiemnly declare that the need Of q re-
turn TO these fundamental principles OF free
popular government, based on home rule and
Individual liberty. was never more urgent than
now. The tendency 10 centrahze all power at
the federal capital has become a menace TO
the reserved rights Of the states.
We approve the action OF the present House
OF Representatives in passing bins FOR the ad-
mission into the Union, as states OF the terri
tories Of New Mexico and Arizona, and favor
the early admission OF all territories having the
necessary population and resources 10 entitle
them TO statehood: and. while they remain
territories. we hold that the officials ap-
pointed to administer the government OF any
territory, together with the Districts OF Column
bia and Alaska. should be bona -hde residents
Of the territory or district in which their duties
are to be performed. The Democratic party
believes in home rule and the control Of their
own affairs by the people OF each vicinage.
