The state supreme court has handed
down its decision in the case oI Arthur
Pratt against the board of fire and po-
lice commissioners. The decision says
that the court below erred and that Mr..
Pratt was unlawfully removed
The public is familiar with all the
facts in the case, and it is not neces-
sary to recite them. Everybody knows
that there were more personalities and
politics in the case than anything else;
and the construction OF the law, the
court declaring that the head of the po-
lice and fire department cannot be re-
moved n. pleasure or capriciousiv or
arbitrarily at any moment and regard
less of the public good. is triumph for
the people as much as for Mr.. Pratt.
Ever since the law was placed upon
the statute book it has been a source of
trouble and expense TO the people. The
cause of this has been that the COM
mission has at times assumed to set it
self above. all law and to order the en-
forcement or suspension of the city or
dinances as it saw TT. 0e necessity sucn
policy tended to the destruction of
discipline and dis gard of law Thanks
to the Democratic legislature. the board
of fire and police commissioners VIII

SENATORS AND SUGAR.

IN reply to some remarks by Senator
Tllman about the sugar Investigation
Senator Hoar said that the chargas
against public men were not merely
! preposterous. but infamous. These
charges against senator's in connection
with dealings in sugar stocks NAV be
preposterous and infamous and all that.
but they have been repeated so often
that many have come TO believe in
them absolutely. It is probable that
the charges are exaggerated, but the
fiaseo in which the attempt of the SEN
ate to ascertain what truth there was
in some of them ended, leads MANY to
think the fiasco was purposely brought
about
Everybody knows that the Sugar
trust had new life-blood injected into it
when the sugar schedule of the act of
1890 was framed. and it was common
belief that it was framed in accordance
with its wishes And that belief has
persisted regarding all sugar schedules
framed since then. 1t may be errone-
GUS and there may never have been an
I 4
any other by any member of congress.
but so long as great industrial mouop-
olies are permitted to dictate the tariff
schedules, just so long will the people
believe that all is not as ii should he.
The trouble at bottom is that in the
framing Of a tariff the interest o. the
government in it as a means of raising
revenue is wholly subordinated y the
interests of trusts and monopolies in it
as means of raising profits. When
such is the case. it is inevitable that
charges of corruption will be brought
against those who permit the tariff to
be used for the advancement OF per-
sonal ends.
Things have reached that psss where
a thorough investigation of -he many
charges made about senators and sugar
would do much to clear the atmosphere
and satisfy public wonderment.

GENERAL MILES as A CONVEX.
SATIONALIST.

General Miles was sent abroad to
watch the progress of the Greco
Turkish war. bat the combatants were
so fnconsiderate as TO finish the war
before the general arrived upon the
scene. Such being the case, his report
upon what he saw. at least Of war, will
scarcely shed any light upon things
military. But We have what is more
entertaining if not more instructive
than an official report on the operations
of the war. and this is a verbatim re-
port of a conversation he had with
Osman Pasha. It is made by a member
Of the generals party. and appeared in
a recent issue of the Washington Star.
Il took place in Constantinople, and is
as follows:
We were now taken through part Of
the royal gardens, and entering another
palatiai structure and wandering about
many corridors. we were conducted into
the presence Of the old hero OF Plevna.

Osnan Pasha. He also greeted US
warmly, shaking hands with ALL The

The New York Tribune says that it
must be admitted that Mustapha Bey
scores one when he takes occasion in
denying a cabled story of Turkish
atrocity in Epirus to refer to the lynch
ing at Urbana as "a great cruelty"
Perhaps it viii do no harm to have at
tertion called to this not inconsider-
able beam that exists at present in
our own eye. while we are seeking the
notes, and much more than notes,
which are so indisputably abundant in
the Turkish optic.

TALES OF THE DAY.
The Three P's of the Corcoran Gal.
lerv

New York Tribune: In one of the rooms
at the Corcoran art gallery, portraits of
Major Mckinley. Pope Leo XIII and An
drew Carnegie are hung on a line to-
gether. All three are by a famous artist.
and they attract much attention. A prom
inent senator's wife was escorting a Wis
itor from distance through the gallery
the other day, when. they started to
go out she remembered this room and
halted.
you haven't seen the three P's." she
explained. and started back with her
guest. Reaching the room. she posrted
to the portraits and remarked on their
excellence.
'-1se three P's," repeated the visitor.
Il don't understand. oh, you mean the
three portraits
''Of course not" said the senator's wife.

and the plutocrat.'

MINING RECORDS.

Were any evidence needed to show
the wisdom of the new mining law
which directs that the records of To-
cations of claims shall be deposited
with the county recorder of the county
wherein the district in which the claims
are, is located, it is furnished by a
case that has come up in this county.
The county recorder has brought suit
against the recorder of one of the
mining districts for the purpose of hav-
ing the district records deposited in his
Office. 1t is said the recorder has lost
them and hence is unable to deposit
them.
There is no question that the records
of locations of claims are very much
safer when deposited at the county
seat than when kept in the district
Very often the recorder of a district is
not to be found when some one desires
TO consult the records and no one
knows where they are. Not very long
ago a prominent mining man told US
of an experience he had in finding the
records of a district in which he had
a number of properties. The recorder
could not be found. and the records
were found only after a long search;
and when found they were in an Old
dry goods box with lot of trash, and
the box itself was out in an old shed.
That is a typical case.
The law which requires notices of
locations to be filed for record with the
county recorder of the county in which
the claim is situated and the deposit
of the records of the district with the
same officer. is proper one and will
meet with general approval save per-
haps from few district recorders.
This Big Cottonwood case shows how
necessary such law was.
