UNIQUE BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Interesting Event at the Church of the
Messiah last Evening.

The popularity of the Rev. Mr.. Kim
nell, of the India street Universalist
CHI urch. was most beautifully demon
strated Wednesday evening at the birth
day party held in the vestry Of the
church under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid. Not only members of the church
and parish responded but host of
friends OF the distinguished pastor, who
were sunable to be present, sent their
little offerings in dainty silk bags with
as many pennies as they were years old,
and juding from the number in some of
them, many people improved this oppor-
tunity to celebrate their centennial ami
versary. Two good sized baskets, hold
ing. we should judge, half peck each
were used to receive the ages, and both
were we'll filled. On The neatly gotten
up birthday reception cards were the fol-
lowing well chosen lines:
This Birthday Party" is given to you,
TITS somewhat novel, tits sweetly new.
We SEND you each q little sack,
Please either send or bring it back.
With as many cents as you are years old,
We promise the number shall never be
told.
Something nice you may find there to
eat,
And kind friends will furnish a musical
treat.
The Ladies' Aid, with greetings most
hearty.
Feel sure you'll attend "Your Own
Birthday Party"
A large vestry. as we'll as the half doz-
en- or SO small rooms connecting, pre-
sented brilliant spectacle. 1t hardly
seemed possible that these rooms in so
short a time could be SO transformed as
to represent anything SO charming and
beautiful. The decorations were superb
and lavishly displayed and the lights of
the gas jets and mum erous huge banquet
lamps, were sight seldom witnessed on
any occasion of this kind. The prevailing
colors of the decorations wsre red, white
and blue, while large arch with small
ones on either side, was artistically ar
ranged with silver fir, SO densely placed
that no signs of the original arch were
in sight, and as smooth as q board.
These attracted special attention and
were accomplished by committee with
Mrs. T. M. Floyd as chairman.

MISTAKE IN CACHE.


Those Democrats of Cache county
who have gone into the independent
movement have made a great mistake.
They may not realize it now, but later
on they certainly will; and, while it is
yet time to avoid becoming the instru-
ments of mischief, The Herald appeals
to them to turn back from the path
upon which they have entered.
BY supporting the independent ticket,
those who have made this mistake may
become the means of sending a Repub-
lican delegation to the legislature from
that county. If the legislature should
be close, the scale could easily be
turned in favor of the Republicans by
such a delegation; and thus the indie
pendents in Cache would become di-
rectly responsible for the election of a
Republican United States senator.
To those Democrats who have gone
into the independent movement The
Herald would say in all earnestness.
You cannot afford to take such des-
perate risks; the party cannot afford
to have you take them; the people Of
0NdA NcAAAiOl e1lLO4A " nave you take
them: the cause Of free coinage can
not afford to have you take them.
We are this year engaged in one of
the greatest struggles for popular
rights that have ever been known in
this country. The Democratic party
has arrayed itself on the side of the
people, and the people are looking to
it for the reforms that they demand.
If it is to be successful, if it is to be
placed in a position where it can
achieve the reforms desired. it must
have the cordial support Of all who
are in sympathy with it.
A party that is to govern must be
strong; it must control every possible
position; it must be fortified at every
possible point. But. Notwithstanding
this self-evident truth, some of the
Cache county Democrats have gone into
a movement that not only tends to
demoralize and weaken the party To-
cally, but directly menaces the De
pocracy in its struggle to secure the
United States senatorship
Mind you. this senatorship is of the
highest Importance. There are only
ninety members of the senate. Parties
are very evenly divided there, and this

A vBxED QUESTION SETTLED.

In the not very remote past the lack
of harmony and discipline, and the
consequent quarreling, in the police and
fire departments has been a source of
a good deal of annoyance and chagrin
to the citizens. 1t came very largely
from the fact that the chiefs of those
departments were without adequate
authority to enforce proper discipline
and suppress discord. Men who had
been suspended or dismissed, and for
what, to the public at least, seemed
good and sufficient reasons, were put
back in the departments and gloated in
having "downed' the chiefs. They be-
came the very worst foes that disci-
pline and harmony could have had.
The last of these cases has just been
decided by the state supreme court,
and it is in the interest of discipline
and the public good. It will probably
be the last of those in which it has
been the seeming contention that
policeman has a dead cinch" for life
on his position. Some have proceeded
on the theory that it was not in the
power of the city government to abol-
ish their offices. This latest decision
destroys that theory and establishes
the authority of the chief of police.
And it is time that it was established,
or that the Office was abolished. We
have known of cases in which police
men have said to the chief, when they
have been censured for laches of
duty, "Well, if you want to suspend
me, all right, hut I shall fight the case
in the courts" The spirit that
prompted such a reply was the very
essence of INSTRUMENTATION, a spirit
that was completely subversive of all
discipline. If such cases shall occur
in the future it will be the plain duty
of the chief to suspend such an in
subordinate and forthwith report his
case to the commission. And that body
should sustain him.
This decision will be welcomed by
the public. as it gives assurance of a
better condition of affairs in the police
and fire departments than has existed
in them at times, though at present
there are not, and for some while back
there have not been, any discords and
wrongdoings.

LET VOTERS BE CONSISTENT.

Every true friend of free silver in
Utah desires the election of Mr.. Bryan,
and proposes to cast his vote for Bryan
electors. They viii do this because
they desire the triumph of free silver
and believe that his election is the
surest means of bringing it about.
For the same reason that it is de-
sirable that Mr.. Bryan should be
elected it is also desirable that
Democratic congressman and legisla-
ture be elected. If he be elected and be
not supported in the house and senate
he viii be powerless to do anything for
silver. MIR. Holbrook, the Republican
candidate for congress, is undetermined
in his own mind whether the question
of tariff or silver Should have preced-
ence. His party in congress viii be
against silver; the party platform
pledges them against it. In his vacil-
lating state of mind all the chances
are that he win go with his party. If
he is elected and goes to Washington
undecided, his party viii make the de-
cision for him.
If the people of Utah elect a Repub-
hcan legislature all the chances are
that it viii in turn elect a senator who
VIII place tariff before silver, and that
that senator win be Senator Arthur
Brown. It would be folly for the peo-
pie of Utah to cast their electoral vote
for Mr.. Bryan and at the same time
elect legislature that would return
United States senator who would re-
gard it as his bounden duty to oppose
Mr. Bryan on all occasions and to de-
feat free silver whenever the oppor-
tunity offered. AS the people of Utah
choose their presidential electors SO let
them choose the rest of their ticket.
