TEE NoN-PARTIsAN TICKET.

The non-partisan committee has COM
pIeted its ticket. The work of making
it up has been long, but why it was so
long and how it was done are matters
left to conjecture. 1t cannot be said
that there is anything at all remarkable
about the ticket or that it is specially
strong. It is scarcely more OF a bust
ness mems ticket than others that have
been put in the field in the past, while
it certainly is not so strong a ticket
as might have been expected consider
ing the amount of talk there has been
about how infinitely superior it was to
be to all party tickets that had been
CT could be. The committee that got it
up Handicapped itself by pledging its
members not to accept any Office. It
would have been an easy matter to
have improved the ticket by placing
upon it several members of the com
mittee 1t was created in mystery,
and Ike most mysterious things does
not prove to be anything out of the
ordinary when brought into the light
Should it be elected it will be found

An exchange says THAT the govern
nlent troops at Jefferson barracks de-
cline to go TO the Tennessee exposi-
tion because ordinary day coaches, in
stead of Pullman eieepe4s. were pro-
vided for their transportation. ''When-
ever tie government moves its troops
from one section of the country to an
oill,ar,' said Major Vessels. 1T pro-
vii,es Pullman sleepegs for the officers
and tourist sleepers for the men, Let
US have a care, therefore, how we go

our ability to equip our troops with
Pullman and tour.c't sle2peqs. The
American soldier who took his gun en-
his shoulder and his foot in his hand
and got around effectively enough to
lick all corners would be regarded as
fossil at Jefferson barracks.
Such remarks by an army officer are
only calculated to make the army un-
popular, for they smack more of snob-
bishness than anything else.

TIE PEOPLES INTEREST IN MU-
NICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

It will scarcely be contended by amy
body that anyone in this city can have
more Interest in the government of the
city tl1am the people. It is they who
pay the taxes: it is they Who bear the
burdens; it is they VINO need protection
against such as prey upon society. If
the government is eNtravagantly ad-
nlinigtered, it is they who are the los
ers; if the burdens are heavy and such
as make men stagger, it is thev Who
bear them and gucan under them: if
police protection is inadequate or inef-
hcient. it is the people who suffer in
consequence. Then who has such deep
interest in the proper administration
Of municipal affairs as the people of the
city? 1t is usually conceded that Deo-
Dle's self interest in anything is the
best guarantee of their watchfulness of
it; they always know What gheir in
terest is far better than anyone else.
and viii look after 1T better than any
one else. Net one of the least iinpor-
tanit interests they have in municipal
government is the right, and It's exer-
else, to say who shall manage their af-
fairs. To them it is most essential that
these who do manage them be fully in
sympathy With Gg1er11. the same as it is
essential in any business that those en-
gagged in carrying 1T ON be in sympathy
with their employers.

why is il that capitalists vino axe

The Provo Enquirer SAYS that tais

organized to place foreign capital in
this state in several railroad and other
enterprises, fousgd there was no aonelf
any necessity for its existence and it
disincofporated Utah was marked
down by the capitalists as an unsafe
state, That opinion was further
strengthened by the restoration OF
Bryanetic doctrine at the Trans Mis-
sisstppi congress and the gushing OF a
few politicians at Salt Lake over the
defeated lAader.
