1t isn't often that Uncle Sam is sue

and as might nave ben expected lit is
woman. Her name is Mrs. Mullens, and
she lives in Hancock county, Tennessee.
She lives in log hut and sells whisky
for a living, and she sells the whisky
in defiance of the government revenue
laws. It would seem that the revenue
officers should be able to put stop TO
this but they are not. Why? Because
she is to big for Uncle Sans officers
to handle, for she weighs $50 pounds.
But that is rot the worst of 1T. She has
grcawu Sc large that the door of her
log cabin is too small to admit of her
passing Through it, and the officers feel
thnt tlnay have no authority to destroy
neC' cabin to get tier out and bring ilsr
to trial When put under arrest no
bends are required because she is prac-
ttcalIy q prisoner, but in her own castle.
An officer cannot always be stationed in
her castle to see that she does not

Whenever il runs low. And thus lit is
that Uncle Sam is successfully dleied.

PARTY LINES.

All the people of Utah know that in
the days before the division on party
lines we had no politics in the sense
Of the word as generally understood
but that in place thereof there were To-
cal issues of burning nature. When
those old issues were finally disposed
of there came the division on party
lines, and it was hailed as a great and
glorious thing for Utah and her people;
and so it was. That division on party
lines did more to put the state in sym
pathy with the rest of the Union than
anything else ever did.
What are the people Of the state wit
Messing today? a concerted movement
to make municipal elections non-parti-
san. The speeious reasoning in favor of
it is that the administration of a city's
affairs is a matter of business. and
hence should be conducted as a bust
ness matter, but that this cannot be
done by a party The same reasoning
applies to the affairs of the counties
and of the state itself. The people of
this city are familiar with the argu-
ments in favor of -partisanship
urged by it's promoters. They are all
based upon the bad condition of the
city's financial affairs, and that that
condition is the result of party govern
ment, and hence cannot be Strengthened
out and put in the condition as they
should be by party government. They
make the fatal mistake of confounding
party government with a party's gov
eminent. of condemning a whole sys-
tenn because of a failure on the part
OF a few to administer it as it should be.
But surprising, for the sake of ar
gument, that the condition Of affairs
in Salt Lake City is such as TO call for
a non-partisan government, still no one
viii have the hardihood to claim that
like condition of affairs exists in all the
towns and cities of the state. to declare
that PARTY government in the various
towns and cities of the state has been
a failure and that non-partisan govern
ment must nov be tried. But this
movement for non-partisan municipal
government is extending TO every town
and city in Utah. 1t cannot be that
party government everywhere tHIOuSlL-
out the state has broken down. Then
why this almost universal movement
for non-partisan government? Is it
such a very strange thing as to make
people pause and wonder at it? Are
they not justified in asking if non-par-
tfsan city government is so highly de-
sirable now is It not mistake to ever
have had any partisan city govern
ment, perhaps any non-partisan
government anywhere? If party lines
were once desirable in all politics in
Utah why are they not desirable to-
day? II took the people more than
forty years to grow to them. Has
their progress been SO great in less than
decade. and considerably less, that
they have outgrown them?
All these are matters for most serious
consideration; and it should be remem-
bered that when once the letting down

TIE WARD coNvENrroNs.

The ward conventions of the Demo-
cratic party for the nomination of city
councillors meet tonight. Their task is
q simple one and they should have but
single object. that object the nomin-
alton of the very best men in the party
for members CT the council. In select
ing candidates all the conditions that
confront and will confront those who
shall administer the affairs of the city
must be considered, and only those who
can successfully cope with them should
be named. This means the selection of
men of superior business and executive
ability. and firmness and strength of
character The public interest demands
this.
In naming candidates the ward con-
ventions must bear in mind that there
is a concerted effort in this city to
break down party lines. the plea ad
vanced in justification of the effort be-
ing that there can be no honest and
competent government of this city by
any but a non-partisan party. 1t may
or it may not be honestly made, but
however made it is false. The Demo-
Gratis are giving the county of Salt
Lake an honest and competent govern
ment, and they can give this city the
same kind. All they have to do to ac-
complish this is to nominate the same
kind of men that they did to control
the affairs of the county. This they
owe to themselves and to the people.
Another thing to be borne in mind is
the fact that to receive the support of
the people candidates must have the
confidence of the people, both as to in
tegrity and ability. The merit of the
ticket should be so great that all must
admit it In making it up all personal
considerations should be laid aside and
only public considerations be thought
Of. There is far more involved in the
approaching city election than the mere
administration of the city's affairs, i'm
portant as that is; hence the necessity
for great care in naming candidates for
Office
The ward conventions have important
work to do tonight, and its Importance
should be kept constantly in mind by
the delegates to them. 1t is the only
plan upon which to proceed.

ANCIENT DEMOCRATS AND SILL

On Monday, the 9th inst, the Demo-
