Official Partisanship.

The application to the Supreme court
Of the territory for the appointment of a
candidate for the Office of United States
Commissioner on the sole ground that he
was straight Republican, calls to
mind the demand for an appoint
ment by Salt Lake man for
a municipal Office on the ground
that he was Liberal The latter qualifi-
cation has for some time been essential to
procure any kind of work from the city.
1t appears that the first named is the
chief thing needed for a Federal Office
under the present national and territorial
administration.
This will all be changed shortly. It
should be changed in principle. twill sure
ly be changed in fact. The qualification of
"Liberal'' or Republican will be no
passport TO Office in few months. We
do not know that either alone will prove
disqualification. If man is a valuable
public servant, in an Office that does not
particularly require political harmony
of sentiment with the administration,
there is a good deal in the claim
that he should not be ousted on partisan
grounds. If his position requires that
harmony it is another matter.
This placing OF men in important offices
solely because they are strong Republi-
cans. or solid Liberals. or dyed-in-the
wool Democrats is a bad thing for the
public service. We are not saying any
thing against preferring a supporter OF
the party in power to an antagonist when
the person is really qualified for the place.
But when men can obtain appointments
entirely on the ground of their partisan
ship, it is evidence of misgovernment and
sign that the dominant power is prosti-
tuting its authority and seeking it's own
good above that of the public. No party
ought to be upheld in any such misuse of
a public trust.

GOVERNOR THOMAS is quoted as not
favoring the election OF United States SEN
ators by popular vote. He says: 'Men
who are peculiarly fitted for such high
positions would not sacrifice their dignity
in rough and tumble scramble for the
nomination. G. W. PALMER of Illinois
made such scramble for the nomina-
tion'' without any loss of dignity, and he
had before him the example of LINCOLN
and DOUGLAS. It is true PALMER and
DOUGLAS were elected by the legislature,
but their triumph was in each case a pop
ular victory, just the same. Besides, we
all know that some OF the toughest
scrambles for the senatorial toga, invoIv-
ing disgraceful scandals, have been made
in state legislatures where the choice OF
the people was little regarded.

The amount of meat in bacon and hams
that is imported into Utah is immense. 1t
is of no use to talk about the evils of eat
ing pork. Whether what is argued on
this point be true or not, hog meat is
consumed in large quantities and by far
the greater part OF it is raised in the east.
The home market should be home sup
piled. Good breeds might be imported
for starter and then the business can be
carried on here, with the freight that is
charged on what is brought here as a
margin for profits.
There is talk of pork packing estab-
lishment. II that is materialized it will
help the hog raising industry in sub
stantial way. There is an abundance of
waste material in every town and city that
could be collected and utilized for feed
which would aid in the same direction.
Hog ranches must be away from populous
places, but they could be established near
enough to use that waste and distant
enough to prove no public nuisance.
We believe there is more profit in rails
ing hogs, if the business is conducted
properly, than in raising wheat and oats
and corn. But thrifty farmers with land
enough can combine the two industries
and make one contribute to the other.
Anyhow, it is shame that Utah should
be sending thousands of dollars away an
nually for meat that could just as well
and better too be produced at home. II
we eat pork let it be home raised.

the Democratic ranks who are fit to be
brought to the front and promoted to
high places, that it is difficult to decide
upon the most eligible under all the cir
cumstances. 1t is to be hoped that in
Montana as well as Wyoming, when
each favorite has been complimented
with the votes OF his admirers, substan-
tial unity will be arrived at, even at the
sacrifice of personal ambitions and pref
erences, and that the Democrats will
thus make it possible for the Populists to
support them, before they become
wearied with the discussions prevailing
and turn to the other side to settle all
disputes.
We notice that Republican papers in
Montana are playing an old trick; that is,
throwing out the hint that Democratic
claims ofPopulist support indicate owner
ship of the latter and smack of an i'm
proper bargain. Instead of intimidating
the Populist members, the very breath of
that suspicion ought to watt them in the
direction of the Democracy. They should
rise above all such intimidations and
show that they have the courage to disre-
gard them while they despise the source
from which the emanate.
The Populists who are organized for re-
form, knowing that such changes as they
demand cannot come from Republican
sources, ought to see to it that the Demo
cratic party obtains a majority in the
United States Senate. For, though that
party is not in harmony with all It's re-
quirements, tits the only channel through
which any of the changes it desires can
flow. And if there is any corruption at
work in this matter, the signs are all on
the side of the party that is casting out
insinuations for the purpose Of intimida-
ton.
Since the foregoing was written the
telegraph brings us word that two Mon
tana Populists have voted with the Demo-
Gratis, but union among the latter has
not yet been accomplished. When it is
effected as we hope it will be in the way
we have suggested, the election of a
Democratic Senator of the United States
will be assured. Now let Wyoming go
and do likewise''

''The Balance of Power. .

The Democrats in the doubtful states
seem to be in a condition not uncommon on
the accession of the party to power. They
are divided among themselves in regard to
the most important offices. In Wyoming
there are several Democratic candidates
for United States Senator. It is the same
IN Montana. In both those states the
aid of the Populists is necessary to elect.
In Montana, two men, both Populists,
hold 1.-THE balance OF power.n Which
ever party they vote with, providing it is
united in itself, will be able to elect a
United States Senator. 1t is claimed that
those two members of the legislature
were formerly Protectionist Republicans
and therefore they will not support The
nominee of the Democrats, even if the
latter become united in their choice.
This seems to US poor and untenable
inference. The fact that those men have
become Populists and have been elected
by Populist votes, is proof that they have
seeded from the Republican party
and are expected by those who
elected them not to support that
party. Even present Republicans
have, in many instances, manifested
their dissatisfaction with the policy of
their party, by either staying away from
the polls at the presidential election or
voting outright for the Democratic
nominee. There is, therefore, better
reason to suppose the Populist members
of the Montana legislature will aid the
Democrats, seeing that it is impossible
in any case to elect Populist, than that
they will go back into the beggarly ele-
ments of the party they have repudiated.
The fact is there are SO many men in

ColIapse Of a "Trust."

One trust in this country has gone to
smash. That will be pleasant news to a
good many people who are hostile to
trusts of every kind and description which
are formed to regulate prices and control
markets. This one is, or rather was. a
fish trust. There is something fishy and
scaly about good many OF such organi-
cations, but this was trust to control
the sale of herring in the San Francisco
market. It is now as s'dead as mack
erel,'' and it was cleaned out in pecu-
liar way.
1t is known that the herring is very
prolific. This is their spawning time.
At this season they come in from the
ocean and swarm SO in the bay that they
block the paddle wheels of the steamers.
Last year they almost took possession of
the harbor, and scarcely anything could
be caught at one time but herring In
order to regulate the market, which was
very low for herring, the fishermen
formed trust and put the sale of fish of
all kinds into the hands of bright, capa-
BILE man, who became a sort of fish auto
crat. Every kind of fish had fixed
wholesale price, and when the supply ex-
ceeded the demand, in order to keep up
prices the excess was dumped into the
bay.
The run of herring during the past
week or two have been more than ever
enormous. One dollar a box was the
price fixed by the trust boss. Thousands
of boxes were dumped into the bay by his
orders, but herring were found on the
market at less price than the dollar
This caused rumpus and an investiga-
ton. 1t was discovered that some of the
fishermen, instead of delivering their
catches as agreed on in the combine,
sneaked off to other places and disposed of
them for what they would fetch.
After considerable squabbling the boss
announced that if on a certain day
single herring fin was found on the mar
ket he would resign. On that day there
were herrings as well as fms galore in the
market, and he stepped down and out and
the trust was Quilted.
Then came a fine time for the dealers
and the public. Herring were offered at
fifty cents a box. They soon came down to
twenty five cents, and finally to ten cents
a box averaging fifty pounds each. Tons
of them were then thrown overheard.
Not fish was given to poor, hungry
souls who tried to get them. But the
combine has gone and all kinds of fish
will be cheaper than ever in the San Fran
cisco market until the fishermen are
able to form a new trust. This
will be rather difficult of accomplishment,
for it appears that the sharpest among
the fishermen were those who went back
on the trust and saved few dollars for
themselves before it went to pieces and
followed the dead dumped herring out to
the ocean.
Salt Lake city ought to have cheap fish
for sale. for while at least, but we have
aot heard as yet OF any fall in prices. Are
the dealers here profting by the collapse
personally, or are they too dull to see that
they and their customers reap the advan-
tages of the fall of the fish combine?

THAT Is a funny kind of amendment OF
the civil service rules proposed by Con-
gresham DE ARMoND of Missouri, which
is to suspend the law during the first year
OF every presidential term, SO as to let
loose the whole army of government en-
Dloyees, and supply their places with re-
cruits in accord with the doctrines of the
administration. 1t is not really an
amendment OF the statute: it is virtually
a repeal. 1t would destroy the vast and
incalcnlable good which has been done to
the public service through CLEVELAND 8
and HARRIsoN's administrations by com
petitive examinations, and relegate the
business OF the country to horde of in
experienced and incompetent spoilsmen.

Death Of Ex-President HAYES.

~-~~a
Standing, as it were, at the new-made
grave OF one Presidential aspirant, and in
the midst OF the sad waiting at the bed
side of another, dying, comes the sudden
announcement of the death of ex-Presi-
dent HAYES. But one ex- President of the
United States remains, and the change
which will take place on the 4th of March
next, when Mr.. HARRISON retires, will
not increase the number.
Mr.. HAYES was not brilliant chief
magistrate. He was the creation of a
political compromise as a Presidential
candidate, and the exponent of great
political wrong when he took the Office.
His administration, throughout, which
the world has always regarded as
de fdcto instead OF de jure, was series
and succession of compromises. Con-
fronted with the most difficult of the
problems which the reconstruction of the
Southern state governments had pro-
duced, he handled them with as much
prudence, perhaps, as any man of his
party could have done; yet he was derided
for being irresolute and without posi-
tive policy. On the whole, he was liberal
to the South, and gave to that section
the first breath of freedom it had had since
the defeat and surrender of its armies.
His personal reputation was never
smirched, and long ago all rancor or un-
kind feeling towards him disappeared.
Sincere sorrow attends the event we now
record, and time will only add to the gen.
eral regard which follows Mr.. HAYES in
this inevitable hour.
