raE CITY DEMOCRATIC CALI.

The City Democratic Committee, as will
be seen in another column, have issued a
call for primaries to be held in each pre-
cinct on the 23rd of September and a city
convention on the 9th of October. This
has been done in view of very consider
able dissent from the manner of nom1nat-
ing candidates determined on in the Citi-
zens' movement.
There appears to be general sentiment
in favor of union of interests for the es-
Enlistment of a better government in
this city. In discussing what has been
done, people do not appear to object to
the purpose IN view, but to the method
adopted to accomplish it. There seems
to be suspicion, very difficult
to remove, that something Interior
lies behind the movement. The
composition of the committee of
fifty gives color to it. While disclaiming
to be partizan it is so made up that the
Democracy has very small proportion of
representation in it, and the dissatisfac-
ton concerning it is therefore very pro-
nounced in many quarters.
The City Democratic Committee. in
making this call, disclaim any purpose to
antagonize a fair and representative tick
ct. Thsy have placed the date for the
convention after the time fixed for the
Citizens ticket to be nominated, so that
if it suits the members of the party it may
be endorsed, or if any part of it is unpop-
uIar it may be rejected. But it seems
they Intend TO nominate the counciImen
from the precincts before the Citizens
ticket is presented.
THE HERALD has stated its opinion that
before anything definite is done by any
body of citizens, it would be wise to wait
until the ticket OF the committee of fifty
is made up. Nobody is committed to
that ticket in advance. II Will be open to
criticism. Il may be condemned in part
or in toto as the voters decide. It does
not follow because nominating COM
mittee has been selected that its nomina-

THE GRAVITY SEWER.


There appears to be more than cranki-
ness or obstinacy about the course pur-
sued by the City Engineer in reference TO
the gravity sewer. 1t is stated by dlsin-
terested persons that the complaint about
the bricks is well founded; that the con-
crete is not up to the terms Of the con-
tract; that much work has been done in
an incomplete manner; and that the En-
gineer's circumstances have been disre-
garded. If this is correct, he is right in
refusing TO certify to the estimate.
True, he has admitted many things in
reference to the matter which give his re-
fusal an appearance of Inconsistency, but
nevertheless, as The city has made him to
some extent responsible for the work, he
may be only doing his duty in Withhold
ing his endorsement.
There is such common disposition to
make money out of public corporation
work that many people think it perfectly
Legitimate to slight contract labor and
materials, in manner that they would
not attempt if it was for private firm or
individual. That is all wrong and ought
to be opposed by every good citizen. We
do not say that this course has been pur-
sued in reference to the gravity sewer.
But we do say that there mas been suffic-
lent smoke over it to provoke strong
suspicion of fire. And therefore it is
quite proper, before large sums OF money
are paid out for that work, that it should
be closely examined to see whether 1t has
hsen done in good faith or whether adj
vantage has been taken OF the city.
We make no insinuations but at the
same time we remark that inspectors are
not always infallible or impervious to in
iuences which have been known to ex-
ercise a strong bearing on not unwilling
minds. The gravity sewer work may be
first-class. 1t may have been thoroughly
inspected in the interest of the city, and
it is barely possible that the city en-
gineer may have good cause for his OBJ
jections to issue his certificate.
Let thorough examination be made
and let the rights of the city as well as OF
the contractors be fully respected. If
there should be breaks in the gravity sewer
soon after its completion the cost will
be large and will fall on the tax payers,
and the engineer as well as others con-
cerned would be loudly condemned.
Now is the time to find out how the work
has been done. Let it be looked to with
out delay.

THE EDITOR Of the Sslt Lake Tribune,
writing from Washington says: !stNeither
the Republican nor Democratic party is
any longer worthy of trust.'' He may
speak from experience about the party to
which he has protested to belong and
which be has held up IS the aggrega-
ton OF all political wisdom and
the essence OF all political purity.
but he cannot speak fer the Democratic
party, which he has never credited with
either virtue or sense. BY implication he
ADMITS that the Democratic party has
been worthy of trust,'' and that is
virtual contradiction OF his former esti-
mates. The truth is he wants new issue.
His old themes are dead and he sees in the
formation of the new hybrid party the
possibility o. a field for his efforts. But
he queries "What' is the best wsy to
reach and organize the peopIe?'' What,
indeedl The Democrats have no use for
Republicans or Populists in an effort to
break up the old nndysng party OF the
Constitution. And they cannot be In
5rced TO drop the solid substance of
Democracy fer the shadow in the stream
which renegade Republicans arc pointing
out IS shining reality.

THE CHOICES rRIUalPH:


The success of the Tabernacle choir, as
announced in The HEHALD on Saturday
morning, has been the topic of CONVERSE
ton throughout the city. Everybody is
pleased. The encomiums passed upon
Professor Stephens and his corps of sing
ers by people of all parties and creeds are
truly gratifying, and it is pleasant to seq
the pride of the Utah public over the Salt
Lake choir.
In musical con test the choir have OBJ
tanned no small victory, even though they
did not receive the first prize.
To come off second best is a
triumph that will carry the
fame of our singers to all civilized ma
tions, aud it will prove corrector of
public opinion in relation to this terri
tory more potent than all the refutations
of erroneous notions that could be printed
in papers or proclaimed from the plat
form.
The very general opinion is that our
choir, in fairness, should have received
the first prize. This originates in two
causes: First, in the pardonable bias we
all feel toward our own singers. Second,
in the fact that the successful choir was
reinforced by number of trained Welsh
singers not members of the choir. This
is regarded as giving it an undue advan-
tage, and the opinion is that but for that
addition the Tabernacle choir would have
stood first on the list.
However that may be, it is well not to
Judge hastily nor condemn without good
reason. 1t appears on inquiry that the
assistance obtained by the Scranto n
choir was not in violation of any regula-
ton of the contest. Our choir was at
liberty to do the same. But we believe
every admirer of the Tabernacle choir
would prefer that it should stand on its
own merits without any extraneous as
sistance.
The regulations might have been more
satisfactory if each contesting choir had
been prohibited from enlisting the SER
vices OF outside singers, but as no such
bar was raised it would not be right to
accuse the judges of any unfairness in
their decision. They probably decided
Alright under the circumstances, and they
are not responsible for the composition of
either OF the contesting choirs.
Our singers and their leader will return
with honors. That in order to compete
with them successfully it was necessary
to gain the support of trained artists
from abroad, will trumpet the fame of
our choir to the ends of the earth. 1t
virtually places them at the head OF
American choirs, Notwithstanding they
did not carry away the first prize. They
will be welcomed home with rejoicings,
and Evan Stephens viii be recognized as
one Of the great musical leaders of the
land and his choir as standing in the
front rank of Americas choral singers.

Z eli the prospective repeal of tariff laws

repeal of the act known as the Sherman

the Mckinley law imperative and help
less to accomplish the purpose for which
it was claimed to be designed, is the law

enactment must have caused distress

THE HOME RULE DEFEAT.

1t was not expected that the House OF
Lords would pass Premier Gladstone's
Home Rule bill. The Lords spiritual as
well as the Lords temporal are against
very much liberty to the Irish, and The
influence of Ulster, which is vehemently
opposed to the measure on religious
grounds, receives powerful support from
the Protestant Peers, secular and eccle-
siastical.
In an Irish parliament of course the
Catholic element would predominant. The
north would have its representatives in
number proportionate to the population.
But the other parts of the green isle would
send more members, and thus the Protes-
tant power would be overcome, and that
would be something that Orangemen and
other anti~Catholic partizans could not
view but with the utmost disfavor.
Lord SALISBURY seems to have conferred
his objection to the measure on the pro-
vision which gives Irish members seats
in the English parliament. But there is
no doubt that he would oppose any bill
to give relief to Ireland which came from
his political foe. The traditions of the
House of Lords, and the whole spirit of
the aristocracy, are against anything that
leans in the direction of the liberation of
Ireland froms landlordism and the COM
plete subjugation of the country to I'm
perial rule.
Unfortunately for the Irish cause, there
is no direct way to overcome the opposi-
ton of the Lords manifest in such an i'm
mense majority. ''The creation of peers
by the hundreds,' as suggested by
contemporary, is an impossibility, be-
cause it is preposterous to think that the
Queen would give her sign manual to
such wholesale advancements, and with
out the Crown even the British Ministry
is powerless in such matter.
An appeal to the country would demon
strate the popular sentiment, but it would
not change the composition or the temper
OF the Upper House. Even if the result OF
general election should be to return to
the House of Commons big majority of
Home Rule members, the House OF Lords
could and probably would still hold out
against SO radical a measure as that which
they have already rejected, and though
the voice OF the people IS something OF
which the Peers stand somewhat in dread,
yet when they choose they can defy pub
lie opinion as they have done before.
Until great change is wrought both
in the views of many members of the
Upper House and also in the Home Rule
scheme, there is little probability of its
becoming law. And there is not suffi-
cient force behind it, in either Great
Britain or Ireland, to render probable a
revolution against the House of Lords or
movement for its abolition.
The grand old man of England has seen
his broad plan for the redemption of Ire
land carried in the popular branch of the
British Parliament, and the aristocracy
of the realm forced to place themselves on
record as opposed to Irish liberty. He
may pass away in content, even without
further victory. The laurel wreath is
upon his brow. and he has provided for a
legacy which will descend to his follow
ers, who may bring it to a triumph when
ne rests from his labors for his country in
peaceful. and honored grave.
