Some of the county officers claim
that the actions of the board Of county
commissioners in cutting off deputy

out all the county's money for attorney
fees in anticipation of a law suit

The earnest advocacy of the admiS
sion of Utah by Senators Dubois and
Shoup has peculiar significance just
at this time when the Mormon votes to
be corraled this fall in Bingham, Bear
Lake, Oneida and Cassia counties are
considered. Their radical change Of
heart may be madness, but there's
method in it. Salmon City Recorder
Perhaps Senator Kyle would better
extend his bill prohibiting work on

The United States Treasury vaults

Democratic congressman should not

sent from duty. By their bullheaded-
ness and stupidity they have forced a

salaries for the last year and a half.

There is rumor that ex-Queen Lii
of Hawaii is to lecture in America: and
Miss Pollard will sing in all the large
cities. Why not organize star troupe
and do America up? With Queen Lii,
Miss Pollard, Mrs. Lease, Governor
Waite of Colorado, and Governor Pen
meyer of Oregon, in their different
roles, it would pay big money to have
them appear before the public.-Parls
Post.
The Sandwich Islands people have
queer ideas relative to a republican
form of government if the newly pro
posed constitution is a sample of what
those in power will evolve. The Presl-
dent, Vice President and Executive
Council nominate the Senators. The
Senators choose the members OF the
lower house, and the people are to be
allowed to get in on the ground floor
and have the privilege of paying taxes.

bine forces and issues with the Demo
cratic party we cannot see. More than
one half of the Populist party is made
up of members from the Democratic
ranks, and they left their party be-

could they now, cOnsclentlously, re-
turn>to it, and especially since the
Democrats have SO completely dis
rupted everything.-Batsy Bee.

OF Representatives has brought In
rule intended to prevent fillbusterlng
It provides that whoever refuses TO
vote, or is absent without proper ex-
cuse shall be fired $40.
If it be true that members OF Con-
gress must thus be forced to 40 their
constitutional duty it is disgrace to
the House and to the country. 1t IS the
best illustration of the decadence OF the
BODY. 1t is sad sign Of the times

The riOtOuS demonstrations OF the
foreign element in Che Pennsylvania
coke region emphasize the Importance
of preventing the importation OF cheap
| foreign labor Their continued law
lessness may have the effect of melting
deeds of violence in other sections ana
aggressive measures should be taken
by the State to put an end to such
demonstrations. Our federal law max
ers have hitherto legislated in the inter

importation of cheap contract labor by
these very monopolists.-Elmore Bul-

The Second Adventists of the east
are breaking out with unwonted vehe-
mence into predictions of the close i'm.
pending end of all things. Many OF
them are converting their possessions
into money, that they may devote the
little remnant of time left them to-
warning their fellow-men to prepare
for the final winding up of the worlds
affairs.
Considering the condition the world
has got it's affair into, it may seem to
many that about the best thing it can
