a FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT,

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger gives a letter
which W. II. Wallace. sr., postmaster
at HammondsvilIe Station, O., has
written to General Gary.
Postmaster Wallace has served under
thirty-four general, includ-
ing the present, and is in his forty
sixth year as a railroad station and
ticket agent. He says;
Please permit your humble servant to

COMPTROLLER EcKELs-


Comptroller Eckels will be in our city
today, He comes. from the north. hav-
ing been in the west for some time.
After ex-secretary Carlisle he is, per-
haps, the most distinguished advocate
OF the gold standard in the country
and per contra one of the most siren
uous opponents Of the free and inde-
pendent coinage of silver
It is hardly probable that his visit to
the west Will modify his financial views
proper, but it can hardly fail to mod
ify his opinions of the people OF the
west. He VIII find that they are not
traitors to their country and that they
90 not desire, and never have desired,
to bring dishonor upon the government
in any regard; he viii find that they
have no desire to repudiate their hon
est debts as they have so frequently
been accused by the goldbug press.
The honesty and sincerity of their be-
lief in free silver viii most likely aston
ish him, for he cannot fail to discover
that they are neither chaFlatans nor
cheats, as has so often been charged
against them. He viii almost surely
return to the east with his ideas ana
preconceived notions Of the west and
it's people very greatly changed. He
will know that their ideals and ampi-
tons are not what they have been rep
resented to be by those who have been
so bitterly hostile to them on the finan-
cial question He will carry away with
him new ideas of the extent and pos
sibilities of the west, While he VIII know
that it's people are as patriotic ana
high minded as those in any part OF
the country,
While he is in our city it is hoped ne

when he goes away he will carry

THE NATIONAL GUARD EN-
cAMPMENT.

Today the National Guard eneainp-
ment at Camp Burton viii break up.
The enca1npment has been q Success in
every respect. and officers and men
alike have Trofited by it. It has been
a military encampment in the strict
sense of the word. and not merely an
outing for the members OF the guard
with incidental military duty. And
this is as it should be- The guard is
created for military purposes, and they
should always be held in view. 1t is
q matter of regret that the guard does
not include any cavalry, but it may
by the time the next encampment is
held.
Last evening Governor Wells and
stafr and General Kent and the officers
from Fort Douglas inspected the guard
and were well pleased with it, The
officers at the fort have taken much in
terest in the encampment, and have
been ready to render any assistance
they could
The National Guard is an institution
in which all citizens should take pat
riotic pride. It is our citizen soldiery,
that strong arm upon which the gov
ernmept relies in times Of war, The
legislature should make SUCH appro-
pFtations for it as VIII induce it to hold
e.acampments each year, and il these
encampments could be made ten days
! it would be better than five. The guard
is not large in numbers, and this fact
should make it very efficient. for the
expense attendant upon its mainte-
nance will not be so great as though it
were double its present numbers. Its
size enables it to be put into a high
state of efficiency in every respect.
Governor Wells, General Young and
! the officers ana guardsmen are to be
congratulated upon the success Of the
encampment.

SOME NoN-PARTIsAN METHODS.

No maxim is better known to the
members of the legal profession than
this: 'He who seeks equity must do
equity" 1t is simply the legal way of
expressing the golden rule.
Those engaged in the non-partisan
movement are protesting that their
great and only desire is to give this
city an honest, economical and bust
ness administrator. They apparently
arrogate to themselves all the civic
virtue there is in the community, They
may have some, that is not denied, but
they do not have it al.
In yesterday mornings Tribune there
was an article entitled Non Partisan
Timber. Possible Candidates Of the
Reform Party. Good List to Choose
From" The article started out by
saying that many names of available
material for the various places in the
city service have been presented to the
committee of the citizens -Non-Par-
tisan Reform party for their con-
Sideration. In the list Of names given
were those Of number Of leading
Democrats. and they were used with
| out their consent. as appears from in
terviews with some Of them as pub
lished in this mornings Herald. They
+ define their positions very plainly, and
they say they are not seeking nom
partisan nominations; they find the
Democratic party plenty good enough
for them. Whoeyer submitted their
names to the committee of the "Citi-
zens' Nom Partisan Reform party" did
! so without authority and assumed TO
say what those whose names they had
used would and would not do in the
coming city election. Did the commit
tee of the Citizens Non-Partisan Re
form party" give them out as avail
able?
| Those who gave these names to the
committee are working for this same
non-partisan movement that is being
! so loudly cried up as the only saliva
ton for the city, while the leaders of
| it are talking very much about
! ''heelers." office-seekers and the like,
| but did ever any party heller or Of
| fice-seel5er resort TO any method more
contemplate for strengthening his
party imam THESE same llO1i- pal 1i7aiAss
who took the liberty Of saying that
prominent Democrats were available as
candidates for the Citizens Nom
Partisan Reform party when they
were not and have not even been asked
if they were. It was a, thoroughly con-
temptabie trick and nothing less,
Those who were guilty of it appear to
have proceeded on the theory that the
end justifies the means. one of the
most perl1icious naxims in politics of
the lowest type. II non-partisans will
do this in their work preliminary to
holding a convention, what would they
do in office?
The non-partisans should bear in
mind the legal maxim quoted at the
beginning of this article. Their
method of securing available eandi-
dates is not one that is calculated to
inspire confidence ia. their ability &c
give the city an honest, economical
and business like administration

YES, "Eoo SERIOUSLY"
The ogden Standard says:


The Salt Lake Herald. in referring to
our editorial in reply TO the Deseret
News, says ''the Standard has taken
the News too seriously" Too seriously!
Great Heavens. does The Herald think
the News was joking When it said;
the controlling element in the
population of Salt Lake City is of the
sort that, sooner or later, viii respond
to any appeal directly addressed to its
common sense A few years
ago conditions arose which caused the
element to conscientiousiy believe that
IT ought 10 divide itself between the
national political parties. and each
man felt that he ought to adhere to
the party of his choice With a zeal ana
fealty that should convince the whole
world of his sincerity and honesty
Hence, partisan feeling ran very high
for a time, and party politics was
carried into circles and matters from
which it ought always to De e1-
Guided.
"But this world is in a transitory
state of existence. The conditions of
yesterday are today superseded by
others quite different. The reasons
that caused, if they did not justify
extreme partisan feeling a few years
ago in this state, are disappearing, ana
are being replaced by others that call
for the reverse.

THE United States senate says
Senator Thurston. OF Nebraska, is no
place for comparatively poor man"
And this, 1t is said. is the reason why
he will not be a candidate for re-
election.
For many years the senate was
known as the Rich Mems elujo, but OF
late years it has been losing this dis
tinction. There was a time when there
was some justification for calling it
that, but that time may be said TO have
gone by. There IS no reason in the
world why a member OF the United
States senate should be q rich man.
He is not sent there to REPRESENT
wealth. but to represent his state. II
no s1oes there to do this in a truly
statesnnanlike manner wealth is not
necessary to him though it would
doubtless be convenient IT he rs a
man of ability and commanding pow
ers he will make for himself a name
and position that no wealth could give
him. If he seeks TO Shine socially and
keep up a large and fashionable egtajh-
lisihrnent he must have wealth; but all
this is MT necessary to his success as
a senator. The reason it is sometimes,
in fact frequently. said that a man
must be rich to afford 10 SO to the
United States senate is because the
true functions Of a senator have very
largely been lost sight Of. Wealth. has
come to WELD SO great a power in the
lana that the land has become more
or less intioctrinated With plutoeratic
ideas; lit is time something was done to
disaouse the land of these ideas.
Wealth may be a very desirable ac-
cessory to a senator's equipment, but
it certainly is not an essential.
