Governor Stone has great faith in the
west. 1t is quite natural that he should,
for the west has honored him. The Twelfth
congressional district of Missouri sent him
to the national house of representatives for
three successive terms, in 1884, 1886 and
lSSS, and the people of the state elected him
governor in 1892. But the governor thinks
EASTERN influences and interests dominate
the western business world too largely, and
that the east itself is too much swayed by
European policies and methods. He also
thinks that cooperation between the west
and the south will put an end to this state
IF things and therefore favors the proposed
convention.
I Governor Stone is a Kentuckian by birth
and atypical Kentuckian in appearance. He
is tall, broad shouldered and erect of car
rage, and his thick hair is as straight as an
Indians. He has lived in Missouri since
his youth and was educated at the state
university. He is lawyer by profession,
and the first public office he ever held was
that of prosecuting attorney of Vernon
county, to which he was elected in 1872. He
has gift of fluent speech and has been very
successful in his profession.
The governors home is in the town of
Nevada, and he has large stock farm near
there in which he takes great interest. His
Shorthorn cattle are his especial pride.
They are of the bluest of Shorthorn blood,
and every one of them has pedigree and is
duly registered in the Shcrthorn herd book
The governor has for years made study of
the Shorthorn family and has infused the
best strains of their blood in his stock

Niagara Is Seven Thousand Years Old.

The leading geol ogists of the United
States and Europe have long been engaged
in attempt to figure the retrocession of Nj

instances really ridiculous Thus we find
that Lyell estimates the time that has

gist, G. X. Gilbert, using Professor Halls

existence at the close of the ice age" Here

quently the case when such drains on the
public are proposed.
Men ought to be chosen for municipal
offices, particularly such as have to do
with the management of municipal
finances, who are themselves interested
in the economical administration of af-
fairs, and are capable business men.
That is OF higher consideration than
their political opinions or their senti-
ments on popular questions. This is the
view entertained in most OF the larger
cities of the country by the most prac-
teal and sensible citizens.
The rate of taxation for the coming
fiscal year has not yet been determined by
the Salt Lake city council. It will be
wise not to run it up to high figure. A
few men of property may favor high
rate because of the decreased valuation,
but it will be found that they. are very
few. The majority of the taxpayers will
be vehemently opposed to more than five
mills on the dollar for the city assess
ment and let that not be put out OF sight.
The valuation is very properly lower
this year than last. Real estate has de-
preciated. 1t has gradually gone down
ever since the Liberal success of 1890.
Putting boom figures on property today
for taxing purposes would be an outrage
on the owners. The value being low the
taxpayers ought not to be imposed upon

some offices created by the present coun-
Gil which can be dispensed with. There

to substaptiate accusations against his
common political honesty and to
show that he is an 'sunprincipled poll
tician, they will fall to they ground and
be regarded as base and partisan.
We are not arguing for or against the
proposition that the charge that an Of
fee holder is a Republican should be
sufficient for his removal, under Demo
cratic administration. We simply say
that the evidence in the case under con-
sheraton is, that the President required
some substantial charges against the
men before he would remove them from
Office. And that is dead against the slurs
upon his character.
It is because we fail to appreciate the
groundless and often purile accusations
of our Republican contemporaries against
GROVER CLEVELAND that we are sup
posed to greatly admire him. Well he is
too big a man for them to down and
when compared with their littleness he
looms up SO grandly that we must con-
TESS to some admiration of the contrast.

determination not to have such rula per-
petuated as this city has been under since
1890, that a combined and determined
movement will effect the changes which
are needed.
The resolution introduced in regard to
the number of workmen employed by the
city and their status may be of some use
if it is carried into cffect. Though meant
for bluff it will provide some data on
which definite information can be
obtained on this question. When the
lists are furnished they ought to be ex-
amined by persons who know the city
and the people, and can tell how many OF
the city employees are bona fde residents
and taxpayers.
Whoever has had those placards posted
and thus induced workmen to come
to this city, which is already over
crowded with the unemployed, is deserv-
ing of public execration and ought to be
prosecuted for such wilful deception of
outside laborers and damage to inside
interests.

Great Big Contrast,

1t is stated by Republican contempo-
rary that THE HERALD is a great admirer
of GROVER CLEVELAND, also that we
some time ago expressed the belief that it
would be an easy matter to have certain
Republican office-holders in Utah ousted.
1t then goes on to say thatthe 1imsiest
charges are sufficient to accomplish that
result, that CLEvELAND's lack of COM
mon political honesty has been well illus
trated, and that he is an ssunprincipled
politician and bar-room statesman.o
THE HERALD is so far an admirer of
President CLEVELAND that it recognizes
his honesty of purpose, breadth of
character, fidelity to the public interest
and independence of action as the national
executive. At the same time it is no
worshipper of the man nor is it blind to
his faults.
But our contemporary will find on in
vestigation that the remarks attributed to
THE HERALD about possible removals
were the language OF correspondent,
and that the illustration given by itself
OF CLEvELAND's lack of political honesty
is splendid piece OF direct evidence to
refute its accusations.
Our contemporary relates story about
certain Senators applying for the removal
of some Republican Office holders. The
only reason they could offer was that the
men were Republicans. The President
inquired if they could not make their
charges little stronger than that. They
could not and so he would not act on
their application.
Now if that does not disprove the
charge that CLEVELAND only needs the
fiimsiest charges in order to remove a
man from Office, what is its effect9 If
there is nothing more than such evidence

GOVERNOR ALTGELD of Illinois will
have precious little sympathy from the
conservative and law-abiding people of
the country for the pardon of the Chicago
anarchist murderers. A legitimate Sc
quence OF this act, which is not in true
sense one or clemency, is the lawless be-
havior of that demon of discord, Herr
JOHANN MOST, editor of seditious paper
in Chicago. The vaporings of the man
himself are perhaps unworthy of atten-
ton, except as tending to excite incen-
diary acts and alarming displays of mob
rule. Already this ag1tator unfurls the
"blood-red banner' and calls for re-
cruits for the army of destruction. I'm
less the vigorous hand OF public sentiment
takes this murderous movement by the
throat, there is no telling when there will
be a terrible and hideons massacre.

A Political Trick.

In calling attention to the means en-
ployed to induce workingmen from other
cities to come here, where there is not
sufficient labor for local hands, THE
HERALD expected to hear something in
teresting as the result of inquiries that
would be likely to ensue. The exposures
already made fulfil that expectation. The
signs are that Liberal influences are
being employed to bring in host OF men
who can be utilized after the well known
Liberal fashion, at the next municipal
election.
The trades organizations here ought to
follow this matter up and not be content
with such disclosures as have been made.
The responsibility ought to be fastened
where it belongs. What can be the OBJ
ject of placarding in big cities east and
west call for thousands of working
people at Salt Lake, if it is rot political?
And why is it stated that they can gain
employment 'sfor one year on the public
works?''
This little dodge ought to be defeated.
We believe that it will. We are of The
opinion that public feeling will be so
exercised over the various Liberal ex-

Fish friends.

Numerous complaints come in from the
neighborhood of the mountain streams
about fish fiends. They are the destroyers
of the denizens OF the brooks, who, not
content with enjoying the regular an
gler's sport and catching their prey with
hook and line. resort to giant powder and
other improper means of gaining big
hauls of fish.
1t is shameful that the streams should
be thus denuded of the scaly tribes that
find in them their natural home, and the
fisherman's best haunts be thus robbed of
their chief charms. It is butchery of the
worst kind and is in violation OF the ter
ritorial laws.
We have fish and game commissioner
in Utah. 1t would be good thing if he
would depute some reliable anglers to act
in his behalf aud they would prosecute
the fish fiends as the law provides. A
little detective work on the Weber and
Provo rivers up towards the head waters,
also on Parley's creek and other streams
and on the borders of the lakes would re-
suit in the exposure of some of those law
less despoilers OF the waters, and a few
fish would be lett for present and future
lovers of legitimate sport. What has the
commissioner to say on this subject?

OUR WASHINGTON special of yesterday
recorded the astounding TACT that appli-
cation had been made to the secretary of
war to permit the United States district
attorney here to defend the accused in the
case of the recent Fort Douglas murder.
This is almost enough, in the way OF a
surprise, to take ones breath away. The
course suggested is very different from
the one pursued in the case of Colonel
AINswoRTH, chief of the record and pen
sion Office of the war department at
Washington, held to answer criminally
for the Ford theater building disaster.
On the 22d inst. the secretary issued an
order containing the following:
That there may be no interference by
the military with the civil law in the
case, and believing that the ends of JUS
tice and the interests of the military ser
vice will be best subserved by leaving the
matter at this time to the determination
of the civil authorities, free from any in :
fiuence or complication that might ensue
from military inquiry, the order of June
10, 1898, is hereby revoked and the court
dissolved.
This subordination of the military to
the civil law is in accordance with the
true American idea, and any other view
of the case will surely meet with strong
remonstrance and opposition.
