WHAT THEY STAND FOR.

The candidates named by the nom
partisan committee stand for more
than is expressed in the address of the
committee; they stand for exactly
what the committee stands for. AS
candidates they are creatures of the
committee, and have no relation to
any other body of citizens Each and
every candidate by accepting the COM
mittee's nomination indorses the COM
mfttee's secret methods and the theory
that the people are not to be trusted
to name candidates for city Offices. It
is the theory of the committee that
convention of delegates elected by the
people cannot select as candidates
citizens who are capable and honest
enough TO administer the affairs of the
city; and every candidate on the nom
partisan ticket accepts the theory and
practically says to the people Of Salt
Lake City: at would not have been
possible for you 10 have selected such
competent citizens to administer your
municipal affairs as we are The can
didates by accepting nominations from
the non-partisan committee indorse
its view that popular government, so
far as naming candidates by the pop
uIar method of conventions is con-
oerned, is a failure. The candidates on
the non-partlsan ticket, by accepting
nominations in the way they did, pro-
claim to the people of Salt Lake City
that they esteem themselves better,
not merely more capable. than their
nominees, whether Democrats or Re
publicans.
1t would not be well for the people
to place in power those who think that
oiigarchic ways in city government
are better than popular ones. In a
popular government only those should
be elected to office who believe in the
ways of popular government. These
the non-partsan nominees do not be-
lieve in

a Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says that. Associate JUS
tice Field of the United States supreme
court has made formal application TO
President Mckinley to be retired from
the bench under the law allowing mem
bers of that court to be retired when
70 years of age. His term of service on
the supreme bench is the longest on
record, exceeding that of Chief Justice
Marshall. since 1891 he has been the
senior associate justice of the supreme
court. For some time his health has
not been good, and retirement from
active duty would no doubt be a relief
to him. It has been said that he would
have retired some years ago but that
ne disliked Mr.. Cleveland so much that
he was unwilling to give him chance
to appoint his successor: and there is
probably something in the story. 1t viii
be recalled that six or seven years ago
Judge Terry was about to make an as
sault OF Justice Field and was killed
by Deputy Marshal Nagle. Nagle was
never brought to trial. The shock that
Justice Field then received is generally
believed to have been SO great that he
never fully got over it. If he retires.
who will be his successor?

The civil service commission is pre-
pairing a statement to be submitted to
Secretary Gage and Attorney
NIcKenna, setting forth the views of
the commission regarding the conten-
ton of treasury department officers
that collectors of customs and collectors
of internal revenue may appoint whom
ever they please as their deputies,
without regard to the civil service lay,
and may remove the deputies APP
pointed by their predecessors. The
commission will take up the subject
extensively. going into the constitu-
tionaI aspects of the case and quoting
decisions as far back as Chief Justice
Marshall of the supreme court as to
what persons are officers of the govern
ment. It is very evident that a big
fight on the civil service laws is about
to be inaugurated, and it looks as
though the law would lose. Already
there have been recently several de-
cisions by federal courts on the i'm
portant question of the power of re-
moval of government employees who
are now in the classified service, and
they have been conflicting, but the
later ones have been to the effect that
the power exists If there is any gen
uine desire on the part of the admin
istration for civil service reform it will
be an easy matter to bring it about
All that the president has to do is to
say to the members of his cabinet that
he wishes them to enforce the civil
service reform rules in all departments
and branches thereof under them, and
it Will be done. If the president and
cabinet are Indifferent in the matter,
collectors of customs and other subor-
dinates will be only too willing to ig-
| more civil service rules

We do not think it the proper thing
to term some four hundred men and
women selected as delegates by some
thousands OF other men and women,

Salt Lake City, mountebanks, because
they do not see as we do politically
Salt Lake Herald.
Neither do we. and we have never
done it We beg to say, however, that
ne believe there are sometimes noun
tebanSs in political conventions and
certainly rnountebanl1s outside of

contemporary can take such comfort
out of that expression of belief as he
chooses. The language is ours, the
application we presume viii be his own.
Such is the comment of the Deseret
News on our remark. Here is what the

This convention yesterday, for instance
did not have the same mountebanks as
on the previous occasion, but-there
were others.
We are glad to be permitted to take
such comfort out of the words of our

NEED OF ARrr1hERxMEN.

In the November number OF the Jour
nal Of the Military Institute General
George w Wingate will have an arti-
Gle entitled 1.-THE Urgent Necessity for
an Increase in the Artillery" He is at
pains to point out the fact that at
last through demands from all sources
a plan of coast defense on modern
lines has been adopted by the gov
eminent This plan calls for over 500
high power guns, 1000 12-inch mortars,
and $50 rapid-fire guns. In addition to
all this there are some thousands of
submarine mines. One-half of these
guns and mortars will, it is expected.
be in place by June next.
When the defenses are all complete
and the guns and mortars are all in
place, they will represent an outlay of
many millions of dollars, and the coun-
try Will depend upon them to protect
it from invasion in case of a foreign
war. ''Yet," as General Wingate truly
says, 1--WE are content to leave our de-
lenses and our new high-power guns
without men enough to keep them in
order. not to mention using them as
weapons"
Coast defenses and guns without men
are useless against an invading foe
If the defenses and guns are necessary
to the safety of the country. and such
seems to be the accepted theory today,
a theory which is being put in prac-
tice as rapidly as possible, then ar
tineries to make them available are
also necessary; in fact as we'll build
war ships and not man them as to
build coast defenses and mount them
with high power guns and mortars and
not have artiilerists to serve them.
! General Wingate calculates that 1t will
( take some twenty-nine thousand artil-
! lerists to man the coast defenses when
completed.
Where shall these men come from
when needed? To properly educate an
artillerist so that he shall be compe-
tent to work the modern high-power
guns and the rifed mortars takes a
| long time; it is almost a scientific
/ education. The simple matter of the
cost of firing a great gun is very eX-
pensive; it cannot be done at cost
{ Of less than many hundred dollars.
This item alone requires that the men
to man the defenses and work the guns
! be properly trained.
| There is a strong public sentiment
against any increase Of the army, and
it is a proper one, still it is nothing but
folly to expend millions and millions
on Notifications and their proper equip
ment and then stop. If the country
insists on elaborate and expensive for
| tifications it should also insist upon
having them properly manned. though
it would can for an increase of the
army.
