their own Decuniary benefit Such a
thing should not be possible.
This bill provides that the members
of the proposed board shall Sc selected
from certain counties named therein.
That may almost be termed an invidi-
Gus discrimination against the other
counties C the state. These are state
institutions and not county. and wher-
ever the men possessing the best ability
for their management may be found.
from them should be selected the men,
bers OF the board. In the counties not
named in the bill reside some of the
ablest men in the state. Why should not
the state be allowed to avail itself
of their services? The selection of the
board from certain designated counties
could hardly fail to cause the other
counties which are not named in the
bill 20 feel somewhat hostile to the
state institutions; and this feeling of
hostility would very likely manifest
itself in future legislatures.
These defects in the bill are pointed
out in the most friendly spirit, as the
general purpose of the bill is a worthy
one, and it should become law. Can
not thew be cured?

ONE TOO MANY OFFICES.

A very proper and reasonable OBJ
lection has been made in the state
house of representa- ives to one and the
same gentleman holding the office of
president of the agricultural college
and supreme court reporter. 1t may be
that the supreme court reporter has
ample time to attend to. other business
than his official duties, and it is very
proper that he should, for the salary
attaching to it is hardly sufficient to
compensate an attorney for devoting
all his time to the editing and prepar-
ing for publication the decisions of the
supreme court.
But the duties of the president of the
agricultural college are such as to
require all the time of whomsoever
fills it. 1t is position calling for the
constant attention and best efforts OF
the person filling it. He will have no
time TO devote to the getting out of
supreme court reports if he performs
his duties as he should. In fixing the
salary to be paid the president of the
agricultural college, the board of
trustees kept all this in view and fixed
it at an amount that would compensate
him for his time, all of which is re-
quired by the college. But now the
president of the college holds the po-
sition of supreme court reporter. 1t
should not be. If the duties pertain
ing to the office of supreme court re-
porter are performed as they should be,
time is taken from his duties as presi-
dent of the agricultural college. When
as supreme court reporter the president
of the college attends TO his duties, he
must of necessity absent himself from
Logan, when the affairs of the col
lege cannot have his personal super
vision. They need it all the time. No
one person should be permitted to
hold both offices, for the work of the
one or the other or of both will suffer
in consequence. They may have their
Pooh-bahs in Japan and their Pingrees
in Michigan, but the noxious system
should be weeded out in Utah.

of Office and has acted as president
of the United States should All this
is separate and apart from his Cuban
policy
Mr. Cieveland's administration is too
fresh in the minds of the people; he
himself has aroused so much antag-
onism, for a just and impartial esti-
mate of his character and his work to
be formed now He is too near to US
to allow Of proper perspective. His
faults and shortcomings are all pain
fully in evidence, while his great quail
ties, the qualities that elevated him
to the highest Office in the gift of the
people and made him one of the strong
characters among the rulers of the
earth, are very apt TO be overlooked
and but i'll appreciated. That he will
stand out in American history as a
remarkable, aye even as great man,
there is little doubt. History may or
may not set the seal of its approval
upon his administration of the govern
ment of the United States. but it will
never pass it over as being a mere in
terregnum. Mr.. Cleveland has left an
indelible mark upon the history of his
country; whether it is for good or for
evil only the future can determine.

IF THIS WERE FAITH.

God. If this were enough,
That l see things bare to the buff,
And up to the buttocks in mire;
That l ask nor hope nor hire,
Nut in the husk,
Nor dawn beyond the dusk;
Nor life beyond death:
God, If this were faith
Having felt thy wind in my face
Spit sorrow and disgrace.
Having seen thine evil doom
In Golgotha and Khartum.
And the brutes. the work of thine hands,
FIJI with injustice lands
And stain with blood the sea;
II still in my veins the giee
OF the black night and the sun
And the lost battle run;
If an adept
The Ubiquitous lists 1 still accept
With joy. and joy 10 endure and be with
stood.
And still to battle and perish for dream
of good;
God. If That were enough?
If to feel. in the ink of the slough,
And the sink of the mire,
Veins of glory and fire
Ru- through and transpierce and trans
nire.
And a secret purpose of glory in every
part,
And the answering glory of battle fill my
To thrill with the joy of girded men.
To go on for ever and fall and go on
again,
And be mauled to the earth and arise,
And contend for the shade of word and
thing not seen with the eyes,
With the half of broken hope for
pillow at night
That somehow the right is the right
And the smooth shall bloom from the
rough;
Lord. if that were enough?

The Boston Herald has this to say
regarding the slur cast on Massachu-
sets by Senator Pettigrew: There is
nothing in discussion at Washington
more quickly resented than any dis
paragement of one state by the repre-
sentative of another state in congress.
1t is we'll that it is So This kind of
attack is mean one, and those who
engage in it are almost always brought
to grief They never receive the sym
pathy of their fellow-members gener-
ally; this goes out to those who are
loyal to their state. and it is again to
be said that it is creditable that such
should be the case. Massachusetts is
in no position to ask favors in such
discussion. Her representative could
hardly find an easier or a more con-
genial task than her defense. Senator
Hoar, who is always among the most
prompt on such occasions, gave Sen
ator Pettigrew a lesson in the debate OF
Wednesday that ne will be likely TO re-
member
The comment is just. but it makes
vast difference whose OK is gored.

THE CITY COUNCIL LEcTURED.

At Tuesday night :; session of the
peared before that body and gave it a
lecture that was in reality an insult
to it. Several members of the council
objected to the tone and substance of
the talk, but their objections proved
futile, while one member had the bold
ress, to call it by no harsher and juster
name, to champion this agitator's
fright" to address the council in the
manner he did. He should not have
been allowed to proceed for a single
moment after he uttered his first sem
tence, which told as plainly as his
whole speech afterwards did, that he
intended to be not frank, but impu-
dent. And the promise of his first SEN
tence was fulfilled to the very letter.
The cause in which this agitator
came was that of the unemployed of
the CITY. Those who chose him to
present their cause TO the council acted
unwisely in choosing him; the council
acted supinely in listening to his ha-
rangue. A proper presentation of any
case, which always includes respect
for those to whom it is presented, will
always command respectful hearing,
and generally bring relief where it is
possible to grant relief. But no such
presentation of any cause in the man
ner this one was presented to the city
council by the agitator will ever re-
ceive the consideration it should. The
council should not have listened to him
when it became evident what kind of
a talk he was going TO make. 1t should
maintain semblance of self-respect

Ex-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND.

At noon today President Cleveland
becomes ex-presfdent of the United
States. His career has been a mos
remarkable one. He enjoys the unique
distinction of being the man who has
twice been president of the United
States, but not in succession.
1t cannot be said that Mr.. Cleveland
leaves the presidency carrying with
him the esteem and respect of the
whole American people. The very
great, the overwhelming, majority OF
his party regard him with feelings OF
bitterness that amount almost tc
hatred. By the Republican party he
is likewise disliked to the verge OF
hatred. But the friends he has, he has
grappled TO his soul with hooks of
steel. 1t is inevitable in a case like
that of Mr.. Cleveland that those who
dislike him and those who like him
should do so with great fervor for
his is SO strong and pronounced a
character that it either draws men 10
him or repels them; there is no middle
ground.
Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
ton cannot be pronounced a success;
perhaps it cannot be pronounced a
failure. The feelings of the American
people, whether friendly or unfriendly
are so intense towards the retiring
president that it is impossible for
them to pronounce a fair and impartial
judgment upon his second administra-
ton. That he fell upon evil times
when he succeeded General Harrison
four years ago, cannot be gainsaid
The success of the Republican party
last November was owing to the fact
that it was defeated in November.
1892. The hard times, the depression
in business, were coming upon the
country as fast as possible when Cen
eral Harrison surrendered the govern
ment TO Mr.. Cleveland. No party on
any platform could have STAYED them
off. 1t must not be forgotten that the
greatest deficit for any year in the
history of the government was that
for the last year the Mckinley tariff
law was in force; it exceeded s72, OOO,-
600. No policy of Mr.. Cleveland was
responsible for that.
been so severely condemned, and from
the standpoint of an advocate of free
silver. we believe justly were for the
purpose of maintaining that very gold
standard policy for which the Repub-
licans declared in their national plat
form adopted at st. Louis hast year.
Mr.. Cleveland's Cuban policy has not
met with popular approval. but no
conservative man with common sense
believes for a single moment that he
has been the ally of Spain or that he
has permitted the rights of American
citizens to be trampled upon or in
dignities to be heaped upon them.
Whenever the facts in any of the
cases about which the senate and the
sensation mongers have lost their
heads and gone crazy oyer have been
ascertained, 1t has been found that
Mr.. Cleveland has been true TO his oath

BOARD OF CONTROL OF STATE
INSTITUTIONS.

The senate has passed Senator
Shoots bill providing for a board of
control of state institutions The in
situations mentioned in the bill are the
agricultural college of Utah. the Utah
school for the blind, the Utah state
school for the deaf and dumb, the Des-
eret Agricultural and Manufacturing
society, the state industrial school,
the state insane asylum, the state
prison and the University of Utah.
The board is to consist of wine mem
bers, no more than five of whom shall
belong to any one political party, while
the governor is made a member of the
board ex officio.
The general scheme of the bill is a
good one, we believe. and if it becomes
a law it should result in a more eff
ficient and economical administration
of state Institutions; particularly is
this so when it comes to making con-
tracts for supplies. Such board as is
provided for in Senator Shoots bill
would prevent any jealousies between
the various state institutions when it
came to presenting their needs to the
legislature. In the past the claims of
the various institutions have been
urged on the legislature by different
boards, or their representatives, with
the consequence that there has been
more or less lobbying. Then this bill
would concentrate the administration
of all these institutions in one board,
and concentrated administration is us
ually the most efficient
There are one or two points to which
it would be well for the house to give
special attention. The bill is lacking
in not providing that the members of
this board of control shall not be di-
rectly or indirectly interested in any
contract involving any pecuniary COM
pensation or benefit. Such a provision
is always deemed an essential in such
laws as this. If it is not in them, there
is always a very great danger that the
members viii exploit their offices for
