An Amusing Threat.

Our exceedingly pleasant and courte-
Gus morning contemporary threatens to
.'get around The HERALD's neck and
choke the wind out of it every morning."
That is the Iribme's common logical
way of meeting fact or an argument. It
becomes abusive and threatening, which
is good evidence that it is eornered and
therefore mad.
All the "choking' our contemporary
has been able to affect on THE HERALD
heretofore has not been perceptible either
to us or the public, and it is perfectly
welcome to try its shaky. neryeless hand
in that way ''eyery morning. or as much
as it pleases to, because it will only sue
coed in making further public exhibitions
of its own impotence.
But all its threatening is baby talk. 1t
does not affect the question which it has
attempted to discuss by abusing THE
HERALD and rehearsing old, rusty stories
about what has been done or has not been
done in the years that are past. Even if
all that it rakes up from ancient annals
was true it would not affect present issues
nor The HERALD OF today.
Scolding like a fish flag and threatening
like an angeTed schoolboy will not make
lncompetency appear efficiency, nor turn
palpable blunders into signal successes.
The complaints that have come from peo-
pie whose lots were drying up for the
want of the water that was flooding lower
places told the tale of official folly. And
the bitches where water is now running
so deep below the gardens and orchards
that need it that not a drop can be con-
veyed to them are proofs of the lack of
common capacity in the officials who are
to blame that cannot be gainsaid. Liberal
petulance and Liberal threats will do
nothing to cover up the glazing evidences
OF Liberal incapacity.
AS to sympathy for 'spoor people pack
ing water, +" when did The HERALD say
who were compelled to carry well water
to save their orchards and gardens?'' The
complaints come from property owners
who have been robbed of their water
rights through official foolery aud stub
born indifference to their just claims
Some OF them have heretofore been Lib
erals, who swear they will never support
a Liberal ticket again, because that would
mean a continuation of the policy now
being denounced OF putting men into
offices for which they are totally I'M
adapted as rewards fer Liberia! electioneer-
ing work. That is the root of the trouble
and that is going to be torn up.
The Liberal organ will find that it is
something more than partisanship''
that is agitating the public mind in this

as the price of silver reaches a given fig
ure or the mine pays sufficient to warrant
the increase, to remain idle Tor months,
earning nothing and with no present
prospect of work, than to accede to the
offers made to them.
Which is the true poverty programme?'
Is not certain wages half q dollar less than
what is demanded better than none at all?
Is there not more poverty in the continued
and indefinite idleness than in labor at a
reduced rate? And is it good advice to
give to the men, vino no doubt think they
are justified in holding out. to struggle
on, - when the odds are so greatly against
them and their chances of winning be-
come daily more remote?
They may blame THE HERALD for tax
ing this position, but it is done out of
true friendliness for them as toiIers for q
living, many of them heads of families.
We believe their work is worth all they
ask, as an abstract question of value.
But seeing that they cannot get that at
present, are they wise or consistent in re-
fusing less figure, and plunging them
selves into poverty programme"
which they will find themselves entangled
with for many months to come, and
which becomes worse with every week of
idleness?
We believe the true friends to the men
at Tintic will show them their mistakes
and advise them to accept the situation
and make the best of it. Boycotting
those who choose to work at the wages
attainable is wrong, and refusing to work
under the circumstances that exist is very
impolitic.

Out for Division.

The Park City Record has been vigor-
Gus supporter of the Liberal party and
policy. 1t is beginning to see the fact
that the mission OF that party is at an
end. 1t speaks in favor of straight or
ganization on national party lines, and
declares that ''this how the next battle
will be fought ana WON"
This conviction is fast forcing itself on
the minds of the fair men of that faction.
Ridiculing the idea of changed condi-
tions,'' fabricating events that have not
occurred, exaggerating appearances that
are not realities, trying to work up sensa-
tions to revive old prejudices, is miserable
work, and it does not and will not sue
coed. The facts are too plain and the
motive for distorting them is too palpable.
'There is no use trying to disguise the
fact any longer" says the Record, 'sthe
conditions have so changed that new lines
must be found upon which to continue
the fight,'' aud it adds that these condi-

THE LETTER-cARRrER appears to be
better protected under the civil service
laws than almost any other government
employee. The postmaster can only sus-
pend him pending an investigation of his
case by the superintendent of the free
delivery system at Washington, and this
official requires proof of convincing
nature as to the carriers unfitness. 1t
has been recently held that there must be
just and sufficient cause, the suficiency
OF which the courts may pass upon, to
justify the discharge of one of these pos
tai employees. A postmaster's distaste to
the color of a carriers eyebrows won't do
any longer.

THE DENVER Republican actively sup
ports the newly projected railroad be-
tween the Colorado capital and Salt Lake.
The road would open UP large part of
Colorado which has now no rail connec-
ton. 1t would involve the construction
of tunnel five miles long, and on this
point the Republican says:
With the introduction of electricity in
tunnel work the cost of constructing tun-
nels has been greatly reduced, and an es-
innate of the cost of the proposed tunnel
through the main range places the figures
at $500, 600. 1t might cost more than that,
and probably would, but it could unques-
tionably be built for &, ZOO, 200. The saw
ing in the distance to be operated upon
this line in comparison with competitive
lines would be several hundred miles,
and this would justify the construction of
the tunnel even at cost of e. 900, 600,

The MILITARY headquarters OF the
Platte are located in the Office of the
Omaha Bee, for which the annual rent is
50, 1850. Secretary LAMONT somehow got
it into his head that this is too much and
advertised for bids, several of which are
found to be 5000 to $1,000 below the
amount named, and some people appear
to think the circumstance that the Bee
owner is a member of the national Re-
publican committee ought not to influ-
ence the administration to keep the head
quarters where they are.

Wrong and ImpOlitic.

The Tintic Miner gives some good adj
who are boycotting miners working at the
Bullion Beck. In the same paper, how
ever, there is encouragement to the strik-
ers which is not clothed with the same
wisdom.
It appears that seven of the men who
are at work went up town to a restaurant
to board, when number of the strikers
who were already boarding there left the
place and went elsewhere. The Miner
thinks that very improper and impolitic
proceeding, and strongly advises the
union men not to carry out this policy, as
they threaten to do, as to business houses
where the working people do their trading.
In the first place the Union men have
claimed that all they wanted from the
workers at present prices to induce them
to quit, was an opportunity to reason
with them and present to them the facts
in the case between them and the COM
pany. BY deserving the boarding places
where they can talk to the men they
virtually deny their own words and ex-
next place they place the restaurant peo-
pie in a very unpleasant position, be-
cause, keeping a public boarding house,
they are under the necessity of taking in
all respectable corners that they can ac-
commodate. And in the third place the
sympathy OF persons who have sided with
the Union men in their holding out for
higher wages will be withdrawn il they
continue this boycotting policy.
These proceedings smack OF the same
sort of tactics by which men who are
willing to work when others strike, or
who refuse to join the societies that reg
ulate hours and prices of labor and thus
restrain mems liberties, are prevented
from performing honest labor and earn
ing food for themselves and families.
The Miner is to be commended for TAX
ing up this question in the forcible yet
kindly manner in which it has treated it.
But, speaking in another column OF the
general subject of the strike, it laments
the inbarmonious condition with the
brightness aud air of prosperity that is
all around, and yet considers it is better
for the men 70 s'struggle on than to
accede to what it calls ''the poverty pro.
gramme.''
That is to say, it is better for men who
can earn two dollars and half every day,
with the promise of three dollars as soon
