PRESIDENT WooDRUFFS BIRTH.
DAY

Today President Woodruff of the
Mormon church celebrates his nineti-
eth birthday. BY his co-religionists the
day will be celebrated almost as re-
ligious fete. The day finds him hale
and hearty for one of his years, and
in the full possession of his faculties.
No one in the state commands more
respect than he. He has always been
a God-fearing man, a man without
guile, whose whole aspiration has been
to serve his God and do good to his fell
low man. It is fifty years since he
came a pioneer to Utah. He has wit
messed all the many changes that have
taken place in the state and has been
a prominent figure in its history. He
has lived to see the state fully har-
mcnized with the other states of the
Union; and when he passes from this
life he will carry with him the happy
thought that the bitternesses of the
past are past and will never return.
He has lived to an age that few at
tain, having added a score of years to
mans allotted time of three score years
and ten. He is beloved by all his own
people and respected by the people of
the state And while he shall live he
will have the best wishes of all who
live in Utah that he may enjoy health
and strength of body and peace OF
mind.

A CITIZENS PARTY.

A new party, to be known as the
Citizens Union, is being formed in
New York City. It's object is better
municipal government, and all who de-
sire this are invited to join. There are
nine planks in the platform, or declara-
ton of principles, the first four of
which are of much interest to all who
care for good city government and
the method of attaining it. They are
as. follows:
First-We uphold the principle, now
for the first time embodied in the con-
stitution of the state, that municipal
elections shall be held separately from
state and national elections. to the
end that the business affairs of NUM-
upon their own merits uncontrolled by
national or state politics; and this
union is formed to carry that principle
into effect.
Second-We demand that the affairs
of the city of New York be admins
tered independently az national and
state politics. and that local officers be
chosen solely with reference to their
qualifications. We viii nominate no
candidate unless his character and
record are such as to justify public
confidence in his assurance that, if
elected, he will not use his office or
permit it to be used for the benefit of
any political organization. but will adj
minister. it in all respects in accord
ance with the principles of this declar-,
alton.
Third-we demand that the civil

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott has got him
self into no end of trouble because of
his categorical Interpretation of the
story of Jonah and the whale. So good
is the doctor at interpreting stories of
this kind that he should try his hand
on this one from Kansas City, Mo-,
which was sent in the form of dis
patch to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
Thursday, the 25th inst. This story
runs: There was a commotion among
the animals in the winter quarters of
Lemen Bros circus at Armontine to-
day. One of the monster South Amer
lean boa constructors swallowed Nc

in captivity Mckinley is one of the
twin lions that were born last Oc-
-tober. His mate was named Bryan.
but he was sickly and died before cleo
ton Today Mckinley was slumbering
beside the big stove in the animal room
when a boa constructor, the biggest
reptile in the circus, slipped from his
box, which had been left open by mis-
take, and, approaching the cub lion
from the rear, was soon busy gulping
him down. The cub weighed about So
pounds. He cried Justify. His mother
looked from her cage and saw her
favorite offspring slowly but surely
disappearing down the snakes throat.
She aroused the other animals with
her roars. and pandemonium reigned.
By the time the watchmen had reached
the scene the snake had swallowed
Mckinley, so that only his nose and
forepaws protruded. They tried to pull
him out, but could not, and finally
with a knife split the boa constructor
and took Mckinley out of its side, not
much the worse for his experience, but
piteously. Mckinley will re-
cover
If the doctor would but interpret this
story after the manner he did that
about Jonah and the whale he might
bring down upon himself the denun-
Citations of the biologists. OF course,
in the story he doubts there is no
mention of the Caesarean operation
having been performed on the whale, |
while there is in the case of the boa;
but this may have been an oversight.

A GRITTY WOMAN.

No one stands up for his rights with
such ardor and determination as a
woman when once aroused. Butte has
such a woman in the person of Mrs
George Althoff who keeps a hotel or
boarding house there. She employs a
Chinaman at her lodging house and
she was waited upon recently by rep
resentatives Of the labor organizations
who told her she must discharge the
Chinaman or her house would be boy
cotted. She consulted attorneys as to
her rights. with the result that she
published a notice addressed to the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor assembly
and the Butte miners union, saying
she would institute proceedings for
damages and an injunction if any at
tempt was made to boycott her house
or to publish a notice of such boycott.
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor as
sembly has published a notice of boy
colt against Mrs. Althoff. 1t is di-
rected to "AI members and friends Of
organized labor" and states that Mrs.
Althoff ''defies organized labor and re-
fuses to cease patronizing Chinese" In
addition to the published notice signs
were carried through the streets notify
ing people not to patronize her house.
Mrs. Althoff is determined to stand up
for her rights. Speaking of the matter,
she said: IT'S my American privilege
to select my own labor when | pay
for it, and 1 will not brook interior
ence with my personal affairs by any
labor union or organization that at
tempts to tell me how I shall run my
business. 1 have nothing against or
ganized labor, but will not submit to
the usurpation of my constitutional
rights by any body of men on earth.
They have singled me, a woman, out
when all around are persons employ
ing non-union labor. I have taken legal
advice and have been told that 1 can
recover damages against the boycott
ters."
That has the right ring to it, the true
ring of American independence. May
she succeed and vindicate her rights.
This case recalls the fact that one of
the greatest strikes the country ever
had was caused by woman standing
up for her rights. 1t is what is known
as the Third Avenue. New York, strike.
1t occurred in the spring of 1886. The
woman in the case was a Mrs. Gray,
who kept a bakery against which a
boycott was declared by the labor
unions. When it became known through
the papers that war was being made
on a woman because she stood up for
her rights, the people of New York pat
ronized her as they never had before,
and really made her
May Mrs. Althoff meet with the same
encouragement and success that Mrs.
Gray did.

Municipal elections certainly should
be held separately from state and ma
tional elections, that the issues in
volved in each may be kept separate
and distinct. Where they are not sep
arate the issues involved in the fitate
or national election always dominate
those involved in the city election. The
result is usually bad for city govern
ment.
Who could or would object to the
declaration that the affairs of a city
should be administered Independently
of national or state politics? Certainly
no one who had the best interests of
the CITY at heart. That a man holds
tariff for revenue or projection views,
free silver or gold standard views,
does not fit him to hold a municipal
office; those are questions entirely sep
arate from fitness to administer city
affairs: and soundness upon them
should not be the test as to fitness for
municipal office; business capacity and
integrity are of far more importance.
When men having these qualifications
are found. and they have the conf
dence of the community, they should
be chosen to administer city affairs.
General political soundness will be
much more easily and readily found
than these.
The greatest blot upon our American
system of government is our admins
tration of municipal affairs. Genuine
reform and permanent Improvement in
the matter of municipal government
seem impossible of attainment, if not
of actual despair.

STORIES OF GREAT MEN.
Fun With Senator Harris.

Washington Post: Tall Congressman
Richardson has a stock story that he al
ways tells before a company that includes
the veteran Senator Isham Green Harris.
II is well known that the senator never
gives his age in the congressional di-
rectory or TO his friends. and to the most
of them the number of his years is a
mystery. He was, however, 10 years old
February 10 last which is quite another
story. Mr.. Richardson's anecdote makes
him out something more than centen-
arian and always calls out laugh at the
senator's expense
The congressman says, when stumping
in one of the rural districts of Tennessee,
he was accosted one day by country
man, very aged.
