THE NEW CITY ADMINISTRATION

Yesterday Mayor James G~lendinning
assumed Office. The change Of admin
tstration naturally suggests the Dues
ton, What will the new one be like?
That no n can say. Mr.. GlcndinnAng
was elected on a partisan ticket, and
there have been whisperings that he
will make his administration, so far
as lies in his power, as partisan as
possible. If this is 50, and rank par-
tisanship shall control in all things,
the chances are that it will be a fail
ure in so far as the best interests Of
the citizens are concerned, for rank
-partisanship is nothing more thar put
ting in practice the theory that "to the
victors belong the spoils,' which in
turn means exploiting public offices
for party purposes. That the Mayor
should nominate to the offices which are
to be filed by him those of his w
political faith is to be expected and
there can be no objection to it. When
it m to hiring men upon the streets
and in places where it is nothing but
day labor, there politics should be alb
s~oluteIy ignored. The two great de-
partments where politics are generally
most played in city governments. the
police and fire departments, are hap
PLY out of politics and should be kept
out.
Mayor Glendinning enters upon the
discharge of the duties of his office at
a time when the city is financially en-
barrassed, and this again will embar-
rass him in the administration of the
city's affairs. His honor knows full
we'll that the tendency in all cities is
to extravaganza and for expenditures
to far exceed receipts. We believe we
voice the sentiments of the people
when we say they will look to him to
| champion the cause of economy and
to fearlessly use his veto power in
their interest if the city council starts
upon a career of u-nwarranted expendi-
ture necessarily involving the creation
Of additional debt.
We sincerely and honestly wish May
or Glendinning success in his admin
istration, for that will mean the ad-
Yancing of the welfare of the people
of Salt Lake City, and so long as their
welfare and the furtherance of the
city's interests are his aim and en-
deavor it will be our pleasure to rem
der him all the aid in our power.

"THE WAY OUT"
try.

The tone of the New York World on
the Venezuela question is rather anus
ing these days. In a spirit of high
m~ightyness it censured President
Cleveland's patriotic utterances on the
Monroe doctrine, and his request for
a commission to investigate the
boundary line dispute in question. Its
tone was more like an English than
an American journal, but finding itself
altogether isolated from American
sentiment, and hat on a great public
question it's writer's had gone wrong.
it has been trying to find "a way OUT
of the difficulty for the gov
eminent ever since. It is as
plain as can be. however, that
instead Of finding a way out" for the
government, the World is trying to
find its own way in on this question.

an American newspaper.
For example, h World expresses
great glee at the appointment of Mr..
Lincoln and Phelps both of whom have

of the war he went to Colorado. en-
gagged in the stock business, and be-
come lost to the world-even to his
own father. The generation which he
wronged has largely passed away, but
he returns to Kansas City now with
an abundance of means to make resti-
tuition and s~urrenders himself to Cen
eral 10 Shelby and asks that gentle
man to negotiate the settlement of his
wrong doing. 81 nave come all the
way from Colorado to settle this in
debtedness," said he to General
Shelby. I absconded and used public
funds. 1t is forgotten now. Nobody
knows thai l am in the land of he
living, but I want to make restitution.
I come to you to negotiate surrender,
if I am to be prosecuted for h follies
of my youth, as Frank James did
when he surrendered through Major
John n. Edwards, to the governor of
the state. [ don't want to be prose-
cuted; 1 want to pay back my short
age and if I can do so I will be able
to clear my conscience. 1 am an old
man now, and I want to die with a
clear record"
1t would not be very difficult to pre-
dict how the matter will be settled
the old man will never be prosecuted,
and he ought not to be. The record
will not be clear. That's the mis-
fortune Of these records, when they
get down on them a bad deed-there
the action lies in its true light; but it
is possible to rob these mistakes and
crimes of poor humanity of their
| stings and torture and that is by re-
! pentence and restitution so far as
/ restitution is possible. David Crockett
| Boggs will perhaps always remember
the wrong he did in 1853; but he will
| remember also the brave thing he did
/ on the last day of 1895, when he re-
| turned to the scene of his wrong doing
and proposed to right the wrong.
| Conscience in the long struggle tri-
umphed. Conscience made a brave man
of David Crockett Boggs.
It will be interesting to the people of
Utah to know that this Boggs is a
son of Governor Libum W. Boggs who
figured so co-nspicuously in the early
Mormon troubles in Missouri. He was
an active participant in the mob
violence under which the Mormons
were driven from Jackson county,
Missouri; and when they were driven
from the state in 1889, the exodus
was enforced under color of an eX-
terminating order issued by the father
of the now returned penitent.

THE BOUNDARY CONFESSION.

The appointment of what is known
as the boundary commission closes
the first stage in the very important
Venezuelan incident. The patriotic
response that came from all parts of
the country to the Presidents mes
sage was genuine but none the less
impulsive. It is doubtful if the people
have given the matter any serious
thought until within a week. This
does not imply any withdrawal of the
endorsement they gave the Monroe
doctrine, but it shows they are all
thinking over what may be the conse-
quenceS of our position regarding the
Venezuelan boundary question. When
the commission appointed by the Presi-
dent shall have made a full and COM
plete investigation of all the evidence
as to the true boundary line between
Venezuela and British Guiana and
submitted its report to the President,
then the really serious phase Of the
question will present itself, unless the
findings of the commission shall meet
with the approval of England and
NSLCEAGtd dl0 DG dCCGplCu NY lllCllls
They may do this voluntarily or it
may be brought about by diplomacy.
But if such a happy termination of the
affair shall not be brought about,
what then? The possibilities are too
horrible to allow the mind to dwell
long upon them. In his message Mr..
Cleveland said he was fully aware of
all the possible consequences of the
steps he urged to be taken, and would
take the responsibility Of them. Such
an %utterance from a mar of his char
acter can all that the words he
used can be made to mea He is not
a men to recede from a position once
taken. From this it must not be in
ferred hat he will be unreasonable
and refuse to employ all those means
for the adjustment of differences be-
tween nations that civilized govern
ments ever invoke before any serious
thought of a resort to final
of civilization is INDUCED in. If the
British premier is equally firm in the
position he has heretofore taken in
the Venezuelan matter, it will require
all the tact and wisdom that both
countries can command to avoid an
open repture.
The character of the commission is
such as cannot fail to command the
respect and confidence of all concerned,
and this of itself is more or less of a
| guarantee hat it's findings will be
| acquiesced in, if not Immediately, at
least ultimately. All will earnestly
wish its investigation a successful
termination which means peace and
the restoration Of the same confidence
and good will between the two coun-
tries that have for so many years
marked the relations between the
United States and England.

THE BOND S U

1t is very likely hat the statement
made by the New York Post and sent
out in the press dispatches yesterday
relative to a contract being signed by
d syndicate of bankers, by which the
government is to secure a large amount
Of gold for bonds. is true. According
to the Post statement the contract has
been signed by the syndicate and only
lacks the formal acceptance by the ad-
m~inistration. If the matter has pro-
ceeded that far it will not fail of the
governments approval; for most likely
al it's terms were agreed to before
they were drawn up in formal contract
and signed by the members Of the
syndicate. It is understood that the
new deal in bonds is to be practically
on the same basis as the last one e3-
cept that the amount is to be 800, 00O,-
900, with the option given the gov
eminent on 800, 600, 600 more should it
choose to take it, by issuing 4 per cent.
thirty year coin bonds.
Such a purchase of gold would be an
indication of the views of President
Cleveland in relation to the Republican
bond bill. 1t would say as plainly as
words could that he regarded its
passage through the senate was ex-
tremely doubtful and that it's pro-
visions would not meet the %exigencies
that confront the treasury of the Uni
ted States if it were passed.
The President regards it as his
solemn duty to preserve the credit
Of the government. which in
his view can only be done by the gov
eminent being able, and in its being
known to be able, to meet all its obi
cations in gold. He therefore insists
on keeping sufficient gold on hand for
this purpose-at least the minimum
amount provided for in the law, $780,
O00.00 1t might stagger other men to
think of negotiating a loan of 500, 00O,-
OGO0 and probably of twice that amount
when it is remembered how unpopular
the last loan he negotiated was. But
Mr.. Cleveland will not be daunted. He
has the courage to do whatever he
may regard as his duty and he will
unquestionably sell bonds to safely re-
plenish the redemption reserve with
out waiting for the action of the SEN
ate on the Republican bond bill.
But we regret this action of Presi-
dent Cleveland's. We are sorry he can
see no other way of meeting the full
measure of his duty than by increasing
the bonded indebtedness of this coun-
try in times of peace to buy gold with
which to sustain our financial credit
in the eyes of Europe This action of
the administration should not dis
hearten the friends of silver. AS a
matter of fact it should render them
more determined, since these repeated
| and increasing loans tend to show the
necessity Of our having silver as well
as gold as redemption money-the only
real money in existence.
Whatever other nations may be able
to do, we have clearly demonstrated
by the experience of the past few
years that the United States cannot
secure and keep enough Of the worlds
gold to meet the ever increasing de-
mand for money in our growing coun-
try.

Governor Morton will noun his
candidacy for the presidency in a few
days. His candidacy will no doubt
have the support of his own state and
may receive considerable support from
outside. But it is very doubtful if he
can pull through at st. Louis, where
he will no doubt have to face the oppo-
sition of his old chief as well as
other ambitious and able a~spirants.
The greatest objection to Governor
Morton will be his age, but it will be
urged to the fullest extent.

OF the alleged Hart interview on the
attitude Of the Mormon church poIit-
icalIy, telegraphed all over the coun-
try, the Denver News makes this very
sensible comment: No credenee
should be given to the alleged inter
view with a Mormon bishop, tele-
graphed from st. Louis a few days
since. The most ultra anti-Mormons
IN Utah, with a few exceptions, are
willing to concede that the Mormons
have abandoned polygamy in good
faith. If the Interview is genuine the
so-called bishop lacks ordinary intelli-
gence, for he seems not to be aware
that the establishment of polygamy
In Utah would annul the act admitting
her to the Union"

THE POWER OF CONSCIENCE.

name Of action" may have some ex-
ceptions. That is, Hamlet in his phil
osophy represents the force of con-
science only on its negative side; while
as a matter of fact it has a very posi-
tive side. 1t not only restraints from
evil, but it prompts to do good and it's
chief value is seen more clearly in
its positive than its negative aspect.
1t is then that conscience makes men

Bntt1eae1d of stone River.

Congressman Richardson has intro
duced and will attempt to have enacted
into a law a bill for the location of a
national park to include the battlefield
of Stone River, near Murfeesboro. The
best troops of the federal and confeder-
ate armieS were engaged in this battle,
and should Congress enact the law it
will give satisfaction to the surviving
veterans. The location of a park at
~Chickamausa and one at Shiloh will lie
no doubt used as arguments against the
Stone River park, but if the policy of
making of battlefield parks is to be con-
tinued, the Stone River battlefield is a
good selection.-Nashville American.
