The Mercury man not being able t

The Mercury man not being able to
find anything to say that would in any
way reflect OH our present County
Treasurer S. G. Clark, turns his i'm
agination loose and says: I'VE be-
here that when Mr.. Hoffman takes
charge of the Office he will find the
books full of errors" The Mercury
doubts Mr.. Clark's ability because he
never held Office before, that seems
to be good logic, again. The best
way is to elect 4 good business man
like Tom Hoffman to that office and
then there will be no doubt about the
records. Now if you will take the
Mercury's own logic, you will vote for
Clark, as he has now had two years ex
perience, and of course Hoffman can't
be competent, according to the Mer-
curry, as he has never held Office. We
do not wish TO attack Mr.. Hoffman
and will say right here that we will
not unless forced to do SO by the

perplexities are to be shown in an az
ticle of singular interest which John
Gilmer Speed has written from unpub-

Speed, for the next issue of The Ladies

that the great President was not
steady in his affairs OF the heart. that
he f1oundered in his love. and finally
induced his friend Speed to marry and
tell him Lincoln) whether marriage
was failure or not.

any increase in the price Of butchers

And the fact that there are several
competing ice firms, acting indepen-
IDENTIFY of each other, warrants sui
fcient competition to prevent eN-
cessiye prices.
Pure ice is a public necessity. There
was as much reason in seeking to pro-
tect the public in this particular as in
reference to wholesome food. Any in
fraction of the ordinance, when it comes
into operation ought to be reported
at once and dealt with promptly, that

there has been some effort to rake

CHURCH ..1NFLvExcE' ATT BOISE.

THE Herald considers it necessary TO
allude once more to the public senti-
rnent in Boise in regard to the alleged
church influence over the Mormon
members of the Idaho legislature. This
necessity arises from correspondence to
and editorial comments in our evening
contemporary.
First, we wish it to be distinctly I'M
derstood that The Herald has made no
charges of influence being brought to
bear at Boise from the Church author
tiles in this city. Next, we viii state
that we do not believe any such int1u-
ence has been exercised by the leading
authorities Of the Mormon church we
have simply published the news Of
what is going on and what is current
comment in Boise. If that irritates a
paper that does not publish the news
we cannot and do not want to help it.
1t is proper that the manner in which
proceedings are conducted by people
who pretend to heave the ear and mind
Of the Church authorities should be
known TO the latter as we'll as the gen
eral public. For it is fact that pre-
tentions are often put forth of that ma
ture which are misleading to all par
| ties concerned. How much Of that
| there is in this case we are not pre-
pared to say, but it must be evident
that there is a root to this matter or
there would not be such a crop of
| comments and suspicious.
| That the report is current in Boise
that Church influence has been eXer-
cised in legislative matters, and par
! ticularly in the senatorial contest, it
| is useless to deny. The correspondents
Of both morning papers here have fur
nished similar particulars, and private
word has come to this city TO the same
| effect. And it does not emanate from
disappointed politicians" or empty
pated scribblers." as the Deseret
| News SO elegantly fnstnuates. 1t
comes from gentlemen who dislike
to have the names OF The Church au-
thorities banded about in connection
with such matters, and their object is
to direct attention to it so thai those
who have pretended to have author
ity from that quarter may be exposed
or silenced.
The Herald has no desire to inter-
fere with the course of any members
of the Idaho legislature, with their
''sohdity'' or their preferences. We
have advised the Assembly to choose
a Senator before adjournment and not
leave a vacancy in the Upper House
Of Congress, We repeat that, on gen
eral principles, and not because we
have any desire to dictate as to the
choice. And we have published special
correspondence about current events ct
Boise, the trend of public sentiment
and the general news. That we expect
to do even if it may offend some folks
who seem anxious to pick a quarrel
with The Herald.
The best way to stop these occasional
agitations about the presiding Church
authorities here interfering with politi-

a SLIPPERY subject.

The Herald has on several occas-
ions drawn the attention of our city
authorities to the danger to pedes-
trians of the slippery sidewalks on GER
tain streets The cement pavements
in some places are all right, in others
they are as smooth as glass, and when
snow falls or ice forms on them, they
become positively dangerous.
The Council on Tuesday evening
walked up to the situation and made
arrangements to throw sand on the
slippery places. We do not believe
that will help the matter very much,
and if it will, the sanding process will
have to be constantly repeated. Why
not endeavor to permanently remedy
the evil?
The Herald suggested some time ago
the roughening of the smooth pave
ments. Two or three men with sharp
picks could do the work in a short
time. a trial could be made and if
found to answer, the whole portion Of
dangerous pavement could be rough
ened at small expense.
This ought to have been done before.
It would have saved many painful and
some serious accidents. The fall of
Mrs Lambert on Wednesday caused a
double injury to her-the breaking of
her right arm and the rupture of the
ligaments of the wrist. Bruises and
violent shocks to the system have been
frequent and the damage done, even
in the minor cases, is far greater than
the cost of roughening the pavements
would have entailed,
Whether 1t is the duty of the city au-
thorities or the owners of the premi-
ses abutting on those sidewalks to
roughen the slippery pavements, the
work ought to be done without delay,
Suits for damages would probably
stimulate action in the matter and, as
we warned the city weeks ago, these
are liable to be planted at any time
The Herald does not know whether
the remedy it has suggested will prove
sufficient, but it is worthy of trial
unless a better plan can be offered,
The sand makeshift appears to us to-
tally inadequate; what is needed is
permanent remedy and that is urgent.
Let there be no further delay.

THE ICE ORDINANCE.

The passage of the ice ordinance by
the city council on Tuesday night was
a wise movement and in the interest
of the public health. There may be
differences of opinion as to the likeli-
hood of meats in refrigerators being
impregnated with germs from impure
ice in the ice closets, but it IS better al
ways to be on the safe side in such
matters.
1t is not a mere question Of piece of
grass in an ice block. as contemptu-
ously claimed by some persons who
have not carefully examined the mat
ter. Ice taken from stagnant ponds or
other impure sources are impregnated
with germs which are deadly to the hui
man system. Freezing does not
destroy them. Whether, when set at
liberty by the melting of the ice, they
pass into the air and SO into the meat
and other articles placed in contiguity,
is perhaps an open question.
But it is possible, nay probable, that
the danger claimed in this respect is
real. and it would be bad sanitary
policy to permit anything to prevail
which is likely to be injurious to the
public health. This is not a bit of mere
guess-worlz, but the conclusions
reached in relation to 1t are the result
of professional and scientific investiga-
ton and report.
Then there IS this feature of the
matter to be considered. If the sale Of
impure ice is permitted for refrigerat-
ing purposes, what is there to prevent
its sale for ordinary household and
family purposes? Ice allowed to be sold
for that which some claim to be inno-
