~ADvIoE TO A CITIzEN.n

A Chicago voter wrote to the Record
of that city asking what he. as Re-
publican. should do where the present
alderman of his ward would without
doubt secure the nomination to his Of
flee through the control which he ex-
ercised over the party machine. To
this the Record made answer as fol-
lows:
In the first place, as regards purely
municipal affairs, this inquirer has no
business to be Republican He is a
citizen, anxious for the city's welfare.
AS such he should associate with all
other good citizens having the same
object in view. without regard to their
party leanings. If he insists on being
a Republican in city affairs the only
thing left for him to do is step up and
vote for the machine candidate bear
ing his particular party tag.
AS citizen interested in the welfare
of his city and ward, this inquirer
should confer with other citizens of his
ward, and pick out decent man for
a candidate. That done, the only pro-
per thing to do is to make him an in
dependent nominee. But If the Re-
publican leaders or the Democratic
leaders will consent to put this candi-
date on the party ticket without ex-
acting any compromising pledges ex-
plicit or implied, many people will
think that the best way to get the can
didate before the voters. Under pres
ent conditions perhaps it world. B71t
If the leaders who control the ward
party machinery will not nominate the
candidate so suggested by a respecta-
HE number of voters, and they are not
likely to do so, the only thing
left to do. consistent with honor and
good citizenship, is to place the candi-
date in the field as an independent.
If he is man of known integrity and
possesses popular qualities he will have
a good chance of success.
If the decent people all over the city
would follow this plan faithfully the
council would soon be rid of the
viciously disreputable element that
now dominates it.
There is good solid sense in this adj
vice to a Chicago citizen and it is
equally good for all parts of the
country. It is always within the power
Of the people to secure good municipal
government If they will throw off
party trammels and vote for their
own best interests. The tendency or
municipal reform all over the country
is to take the government of cities
out Of politics. BY so doing the inter-
ests of all classes are better served
while the heavy taxpayers are far
less liable to be made a prey to gangs
of 'heelers.'' To them the only use
they have for the representative men
of a. city is to bleed them through ex-
cessive taxation.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.

Early in the seventeenth century an
Italian astronomer heard that
Dutchman over in Holland had con-
verted handful of sand into glass
that had the peculiar property OF
seeming to draw distant objects nearer,
and by am adjustment of it in an in
strument he had invented he was able
to inspect distant objects with grea:
ease. Whereupon the Italian. withouF
knowing anything of the particulars Of
the construction of the instrument sci
himself at work to make one, and sue
ceAded. The first use he made of it
was to turn the instrument upon the
moon and made the discovery that she
had mountains and plains like the
earth. It also brought within the range
of his vision an immense number on
fixed stars never before seen by man.
and modern astronomy may be said
from that hour to have begun its
splendid career.
A week or two ago a dispatch from
Germany announced to the world that
Professor w. c. Roentgen of that
country had succeeded through the
agency of cathode rays of photograph
ing objects inclosed in or concealed be-
hind opaque substances. 1t was also
announced that by his process he had
been able to photograph the skeleton Of
a living man, the flesh of the person
being no barrier to the attainment of
that purpose. The performance was
regarded as so wonderful, and it at
once suggested SO many possibilities
especially as to the practice of medicine
and surgery that the discovery seemed
too good to be true. Daily, however,
the evidence accumulates that the
wonderful achievement is true. That
which few days ago we would have
declared impossible is an accomplish
ed fact Our dispatches yesterday in
formed US that Professor A. w. Wright
who occupies the chair Of physics at
Yale university, having heard Of the
experiments and achievements of the
German professor has been experiment.
ing in the same line and reports that
the thing can be done. Professor
Wright's experiments were made, it is
said, with a great variety of sub
stances and it was found that strong
impressions were obtained upon the
plate used even when wrapped in black
paper and covered with a pine board
half an inch thick. so that there can
be no doubt as to this new achievement
of science.
What the telescope of Calico was to
the science Of astronomy, this new dis
covery is likely to be to medicine and
surgery; and though the achievements
of medical and surgical science have
been great in the past. with the aid OF
this new discovery it stands upon the
eve of mighty bound forward.

MR.. CARLISLE.

The fact that in the Kentucky legis-
lature the other day Secretary Carlisle
received five votes for United States
senator reminds US that when Mr..
Carlisle was taken from the senate
into the cabinet, brilliant legislator
was spoiled to make only very in
different Cabinet officer. Mr.. Carlisle's
abilities as legislator would have
enabled him to render great service
to the people'of the United States; and
in that field. had he continued faith
full to the people, he would today have
been without peer in Congress. 1t
was a great mistake his leaving the
legislative for the executive branch of
the government. He exchanged a
position Of independence. one where he
could have maintained his individu-
atty, for one where he is dominated
by the will and views of another, and
where his hitherto interesting indtvidu-
atty has gone to pieces and pulled
down upon him the contempt Of the
people.
He is living exampled Of man
working in a sphere that he is not
adapted to fill; and Illustrates the fact
that because a man succeeds in one
line of work il does not follow that he
will be successful in an entirely differ
ent line of work. He is also am object
lesson Of the unwisdom there is in a
man leaving a vocation for which he
has peculiar ability. for a position not
suited to his mental temperament and
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-01

for which he is not equipped by his
mental habits or training.
The worst of it is, in the case of Mr.
Carlisle, the error is not to be
amended he has untitled himself
while in the cabinet for further use
fulness in the Senate even if he could
be elected senator. For after a bril-
liant career of twenty years or more
as a leader in guarding the interests
of the people and the champion of the
silver forces, he falls down in disgust
ing subservincy to the interests of the
eastern monied kings, until all thought
of trusting him again in the Senate is
out of the question. The people being
betrayed by this man will seek a new
champion to achieve and afterwards
guard their rights; and the only further
use that can be made of Mr.. Carlisle
is to refer to the later years of his life
as pointing a moral.

In winds that through my lattice blow,
