From a Sanitary Point" "

The views of THE HERALD on the sani-
tary question have been given to the
public many times. There is no need to
repeat them in detail, though our ILL
natured neighbor calls upon US for par
ticulars and specifications.
We are in favor of sewerage in those
parts of the city where it is practicable,
providing tho sewage can be disposed of
without damage to health or property.
And for the districts where sewers cannot
now be brought into use dry earth sys-
tenn, on simple and inexpensive plan
which every property owner or house oc-
cupier can fix himself if necessary, and
which will not involve ''job" for any
public official anxious to make money
out OF his position and the peoples
pockets.
AS to details, we have given them many
times and years before the present health
officer matured his plan, which our vitu-
perative neighbor says took him eight
months to bring to light. 1t does not
matter if it took him eight years,
the mayor has vetoed his bill for
an ordinance, and has pointed out
not only its crudities but its utter inn
practicability in some important respects.
Now because we endorse the Mayors ac-
ton, the Tribune says we are Sin favor
of dry earth closets but opposed to any
possible way to any possible means to Sc
cure them.' That is the 1ribUne'S COM
mon way with its contemporaries. Ii it
can find nothing on which to hang an
excuse for its growing it will deliberately
lie, as it has done on this occasion.
The Mayor who has vetoed the bill
which even the Tribune has not the hardi-
hood to endorse, is the Liberal Mayer, the
Tribme's Mayor, and if there is anything
wrong in finding fault with the crude
dry earth measure it is that Mayor who is
to blame and not THE HERALD.
Also the Mayor has promised in con-
junction with the health committee to
frame an ordinance which will answer the
needful purpose, without the objec-
tions he has explained against the
bill he has vetoed. That being the
status OF the matter, there is NO
need for THE HERALD to formulate
anything for the purpose. Nor need we
say more on the subject except that in
stead CT being opposed to that which the
Tribune for the first time indicates it is
favorable to, we have pressed the dry
earth plan on the attention of the city
council for number of years, and know
that it is the right thing for this city in
the outer districts, if it is established
with view to public convenience and
sanitation and with the least possible ex-
pense to the householders.

THE COMMON house fly is said to carry
cholera bacilli around with him, and to
be undiscriminating as to where he leaves
them. THE HERALD issues proclama-
ton OF war against him, declares an en-
barge and establishes quarantine, max
ing him contraband. All small boys are
hereby authorized and commanded to
provide fly traps and to get out their pea
shooters preparatory to the carnage.
Stick paper viii be in demand and the
delusive syrup and cobalt brought into
deadly requisition.

Cache County Commissioner.

The Logan Journal is out with serious
charges against the United States Com
missioner of Cache county. If there
were reasons for the removal of the
Commissioners who were recently hauled
over the judicial Goals in this city, there
are more for the decapitation of the
Cache county officials if half what the
Logan paper says is true.
The evidence adduced is OF a very posi-
tive character, and, summarized, the
charges are these: Failure to keep the
docket as required by law. Charging
illegal fees. Soliciting business IN GRIM
inal and civil cases. Charging 10 per
cent. on moneys collected by Judgment.
Making innocent parties pay costs on
cases for which they are in no wise re-
sponsible.
These are serious accusations. and in
justice to the commissioner they ought to
be investigated, while to the public they
are matters of still greater moment.
There have been many complaints as to
the manner in which that official has con-
Quoted the affairs of his alleged court,
and the supreme court OF the territory
ought TO examine them.
The commissioner was rabid Liberal
and it was thought that to this he owed
his nosition. as he had no previous knowl-
edge of law or natural fitness for the
place. But he is now an equally radical
Republican, and people in his neighbor-
hood think that is the reason why he has
been retained in the office.
The HERALD pronounces no judgment
on this case, but believes there are suffi-
Gent grounds for an investigation, and
without endorsing It's charges seconds the
motion of the Logan Journal for judicial
action as soon as the court shall meet.

No Interest in Politics.

'Hrhe citizen who takes 40 interest in
politics. is coming in for his share Of
criticism in these times of exposure Of
shams, and letting in of light upon error
and folly. How can any man who under
stands his position as a member of the
body polite, even in small degree, take
the ground that he wants nothing to do
with politics?
Everybody should be interested in the
common welfare. He who only lives for
himself is a mean and miserable Great
ure. He is the essence of selfishness,
and that is the root OF all evil. To live
for others necessitates some interest in
politics. This is government of the
people, in which al the people must
take part to carry the theory into effect
& Even a selfish man should take an in
terest in politics for his own good if ne
cares nothing for the good OF his neigh
Dor. If he has property he is taxpayer.
Politics affects his pocket. Men must be
chosen to transact the business of gov
eminent, local and national. Extrava-
gance in public affairs affects the indi-
vidual citizen financially and to check
that the right kind OF men must be Sc
lected for Office, and there. is politics again.
1t is the duty of every good citizen to
help place in political power such men
only as are believed to be honest and true,
who will serve the people from patriotic
motives and strive to promote the public
interest. No good citizen then can con-
sistently keep out of politics or say he
takes no interest in politics.
But this does not involve rabid parti-
sanship. 1t does not mean the exaggera-
ton of the virtues of one party and the
invention OF faults in another. 1t does
not require slavish submission to any set
of men or set of rules. People can take a
proper interest in politics without plung-
ing into the whirlpool of excite ment and
folly which extreme partisans indulge in.
Every good citizen should take interest
enough in politics to become familiar
with the principles of govern
ment, and to be able to choose
for himself such as recommend
themselves to his judgment as best for
the good of the community. He ought
to become satisfied on these matters so
that he can act on his convictions. Sin
cerity in politics is as proper and neces-
sary as sincerity in religion, and when
people are thoroughly convinced of the
truth of political principles, if they are
not hypocrits they will be apt to stand by
them firmly, honestly and consistently.
This leaves ample room for that charity
which comedies the sincerity OF political
opponent. And every true politician
will freely accord to others that lib
erty OF thought and action which he

Calhnnn and the South.

There has been some discussion lately
over the precepts and opinions of the
celebrated stateman, JOHN c.. CALHOUN.
People can consistently admire the man
and approve of his precepts without en-
dorsing all his opinions. Some things on
which he expressed very decided views
have disappeared from our national
politics, and there is no need and no
sense in reviving them. Democrats who
regard many OF the principles he adj
vocated as sound and good are not to be
held as adopting all his opinions. though
many of them will be found very difficult
to refute.
A Republican paper published in this
Territory, copies this as a sentiment of
CALHoUN's and appears to think it an
argument in favor ola plutocratic govern
ment:
hold that there never has yet existed a
! wealthy add civilized society in which one
portion of the community did not, in
point of fact, live on the labor of the
other.
This is taken as having grounded in
the hearts of the Southerners ''the doc
trine of plutocracy. And we are in
formed that, ''because the ghost of such
teachings still hovers over the land of the
South, that liberty loving people remain
aWay from there.' Also that before i'm
migration is likely to be turned that way
that country will have to be s'rid Of its
former Democracy"
Now what is there in CALHoUN's state
ment that can be refuted? Is not what he
held patent and indisputable fact? Will
it not be so down to the end OF time? But
does it follow because what he said is true
as a matter OF fact that it is an argument
in favor of plutocracy?
We are afraid our contemporary does
not know the meaning of the term. Is the
present government of the United States q
plutocracy? On the contrary, is it not q
Democracy? One portion of the commu-
nity does live on the labor of another
But the laborer as well as the person who
lives off his labor has vote and it is
equal to the rich mans or any other
mans ballot. If we have government
of wealth in any part of this country it is
the fault of the working people, who out
number the rich and can control the ma
ton II they choose to do so.
| AS to the south great many liberty
loving people have gone there to live, il
by that class is meant people from the
north. They are investing money in
factories and various Industries and find
the southern people ver5 different from
what they are pictured by the rabid Re-
publican organs.
What is ssthe curse of former Democ-
racy?'' Can our contemporary explain
what is meant by that phrase7 Democ-
racy is the same everywhere in this ma
ton, and it means government of the
people. 1t is now as ever the rule OF the
majority and means the same in thesouth
as it does in the north.
These petty attempts to misrepresent q
dead statesman and to cast stigma on
people who admire many OF his pfecepts
