been troubled with my back and a
weakness in the region Of the kidneys

THE AUTHORSHIP.

The demand for the resignation of
Deputy County Auditor Wood, by his
principal, Mrs. Margaret Game, yes
terday, was a surprise to everybody,
and especially to Mr.. Wood
Mr.. Wood was a candidate against
Mrs. Game for the nomination before
the Democratic county convention, and
it is stated on good authority that it
was his purpose to resign as soon as
certain important work in which he
was engaged should he completed.
Mr.. Wood was fairly nominated by
the convention. and under no circum-
stances does he wish TO be considered
as an obstructionist: therefore, if Mrs.
Game thinks he cannot discharge the
duties devolving upon him as her dep
uty with that fairness and impartiality,
now that he is the party nominee.
which she deems proper, she has a
perfect right to make a change, and
Mr.. Wood should not DISPUTE her au-
thority.
Mr.. Wood, by reason of the fact that
he has been connected with the audi
tors office for the past two Yeas, was
a logical candidate for this nomination,
provided . change was desired. and
under the circumstances he was not
Gisloyal to his principal because he
yielded to the request of his friends
and allowed his name to be presented
to the county convention.
There is no doubt but that Mr.. Wood
would continue to perform the duties
of his position with strict fidelity to his
principal if allowed to continue, and
the public good would be best served
if Mrs. Game should not insist upon
a change.
The power of the county commission
ers in this matter is limited to the
requirement that Mrs. Caine select
some competent person as her DEPUTY:
as to the caoability of the person Sc
lected, they. of course, must judge
They can refuse to confirm any APP
pointment if they think the public bust
ness will not be properly attended to.

The Republicans of Utah have en-
dorsed the administration, its conduct
of the war, and its treatment of the
soldiers. OF Camp Wikoff. at Montauk
Point, pronounced the best camp of
all by Alger, sanctioned by Vice Presi
dent Hobart and approved by Presi-
dent Mckinley, the Holyoke (Mass.)
Telegram, a gold Republican organ,
says: THE boys who died at Camp
Wikoff were Enthusiastically muir
dered. We now know that an order
had been issued early this month to
supply the regiments with food cost
ing so cents a day. This order was
pigeonholed in a desk in the war de-
partment. In consequence of this act
of negligence, the poor. sick soldiers
were obliged to eat nauseating food,
mostly moldy bareback and Shiny beef.
Nearly 100 have since died from starva-
ton. Their weak stomachs refused the
swill which the great United States
government offered them. So we re-
peat, these boys were murdered, and
some official in the war department
was their murderer. The nation cries
aloud: Investigates! Investigate! In

WE'RE COMING HOME.

We're coming home, were coming home
You can hear the old bones rattle;
We are burning up with fever,
And were loaded down like cattle.
And the mould is on the hard tack.
And the worms are in the rind,
But Johnny IS a soldier brave,
And of course, he must not mind.
Three months upon the white-hot sands
We laid and fought the scourge like
men,
Drank water that was crawling green,
And daily cursed and cursed again.
AS up from out the East arose
The blood-red banner of the moon,
To set the restless sea afiame
And craze with thirst the human born.
O. the orders were but mockfng
For they tangled in the brain,
And the fever-stricken wretcheS
Tried to understandable vain
Our shelter tents were winding sheets;
Old Mother Earth our cheerless bed.
No Spaniard crossed our blurring sight;
We fought the unseen foe instead.
But we're trooping. trooping homeward,
And It's no time to weep nor sigh,
Tho many a soldier boy brave
Will get there just to fall and die.
o, bark to the fretting engine
AS 1t pounds the Furnished steel.
Carrying back to friends again
Old Maryland's strength and leal.
We're coming home, we're coming home
You can hear our old bones rattle:
We are burning up with fever,
And were loaded down like cattle.
And the mould is on the hard tack,
And the worms are in the rfnd,
But Johnny is a soldier brave
And, of course he does not mind

REPUBLICAN scHEMERs.

Utah Republicans are making a
sues of this campaign By starting a
personal fight upon men who are SUI
perior in every respect to their own
candidates, the Republicans of this
state hope to turn attention from them
selves and to cause the people to for
get the infamous platform adopted by
the Republican state convention.
1t is more important. however. to
elect a congressman from Utah on a
straightout silver platform this year
than it is to ''thresh over old straw
for local effect.
1t would be a calamity TO the cause
of silver to send an administration Re
publican to the national congress at
this time. But our Republican friends
are asking the people of Utah to do
this very thing
1t would be body blow to bimetal-
lism to elect Alma Eldredge on a plat
form which ratifes all the policies of
McKinley's administration.
Men and women should not lose sight
of the fraud and duplicity oozing out
between the planks of the Republican,
platform. 1t is an endorsement of Al
gerism, Shermanism, Gageism and
Hannaism. 1t approves the appoint
ment of incompetent quartermasters,
whose neglect or indifference has re-
suited in the deaths of thousands of
American soldiers. 1t sanctions the
attempt of the administration to estab-
fish an aristocracy of birth and po-
whose test has been patriotism and
ability heretofore.
Alma Eldredge is making his race
for congress on platform in which the
following declaration appears:
I'VE indorse and applaud the admin
istration of President Mckinley and
the policies ably proposed and accom-
plished by him.
Alma Eldredge is running on a plat
form which explicitly binds him so far
and no farther:
I'VE pledge the party to support for
Office. and particularly for the office of
senator and representative to congress,
only those who do and will support the
principles of the Dingley bill"
The fact that the silver clause of the
Republican state platform of 1895 is re-
affirmed does not make a silver plat
form of another which endorses every
policy of the president. That state
platform was made before the party
had determined its national policy. 1t
was abrogated by the Republican con-
vention at st. Louis in 1896.
Republicans of Utah are anxious to
fight upon any lines except those laid
down in their platform, but it binds
them to the national organization at
the head of which Mark Hanna stands.
This is a political campaign. The
question of electing a congressman this
fall is before the people. The great
issue is that of free coinage. Do the
people want an eloquent friend of sill
yer to represent them? Or do they pre-
fer an administration Republican elect
ed on gold platform?

LOYALTY NOT A CRIME.

In line with what The Herald said
the other day concerning the necessity
for political parties and the ACCESSIBILITY
of voters affiliating with some such or
ganization the Houston Post offers a
few remarks which we commend to our
daily contemporaries in this city:
THE Post has often had to point out
the fact that so-called independents
in the press, or in politics, are nothing
more nor less than opinionated free
lances, who fancy they are superior to
the combined wisdom of great parties
and who generally wind up by display
ing the bitterest partisanship against
one or in favor of another party. They
thus at last recognize in the most prac-
teal way the necessity for parties and
belle their professions
That is exactly the point. Newspa-
pers are fallible just as individuals are.
They have right to claim that their
judgment is superior to that of thous-
ands who are fully as intelligent and
equally honest: but their conceit is
greater than their wisdom Only con-
certed effort can bring about reforms.
And these so-called independents" are
generally trying to organize some party
of their own; at least they are willing
to work with one they can manage So,
after all, there is more of selfshness.
than independence in their action
One who claims to be INDEPENDENT
but takes part whenever certain inter-
ests are brought into question or there
are certain favorites to help or enc
mics to punish isn't very independent
And one who is willing to join any
party, regardless of principles. or form
any combination however disreputable
to beat some one else is less "indepen-
dent than he who comedies the right
of majority to rule The contempt
rary quoted says further:
''The affairs of a republican govern
ment could be managed in fact in no
other way than by 2 great political
party, representing the majority senti-
ment of the nation with reference to
controlling issues and fundamental
principles. Congress would be chaos
were every man in it an independent.
No progress would be possible without
organization of forces and an agree

WAR AND FIDDLEsTICKS.

Our neighbor is poet, if anything;
an erratic. visionary poet But it man
ages to mix its metaphors nevertheless
This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't
persist in mixing those of others.
Referring to the recent destructive
storm in the Caribbean sea we referred
to the havoc wrought by the artillery
of heaven and the broadsides fired from
the hurricane e.a
Our neighbor is not satisfied with
that. 1t says: 1--WE endorse the broad
sides but repudiate the artillery of
heaven. 1t may have been the big boss
fiddle of the orchestra, but the broad
sides were what did the business -
II will no doubt please the broadsides
to know that our contemporary en-
dorses them, but why does it repudiate
'the artillery of heaven?" Is this a
part of its scheme to separate the ter
restrial and celestial? Possibly. But
why does it drag that big boss fiddle
into a war picture? What has an or
chestra to do with broadsides, anyhow?
Our neighbor should confine its mixing
to its own metaphors.

It pepended.

Judge Roger S. Greene of Seattle is
one or the best known members OF the
bar OF the state of Washington. He has
had a wide experience. both on and off
the bench. ana IS looked up TO by both
lawyers and laymen as one OF the first

he least prevent the Judge from admit
ting the truth of the following turn on
himself:
b. +. Dennison of Olympia. the state
and territorial capital, the oldest mem
Der of the bar in that city, was once ar
guing a case before Judge Greene, when
the latter was on the United States
bench. In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Dennison had occasion TO refer to GER
tain set of reports of one of the Phiiadel-
phia courts, now very old and not often
quoted. Judge Greene listened unlike
some other judges. and after while
said:
MI Dennison, notice in the reports

ment among the majority as to certain
plans of action. Washington recognized
the necessity of we'll defined parties in
a republic, but he appealed to the peo-
pie to keep down bitter .partisanship.
He saw in party spirit at once the hope
and the danger of the republic.
"Only the most impracticable
dreamer, or the sore-head, denies the
absolute necessity for parties. 1t be-
comes the duty. therefore. of every
good citizen to ally himself with that
political organization which stands
generally in closest sympathy with his
views. Every detail of party manage
ment. or tenet of party faith, or nomi-
nee for office, may not suit us. But
when once the voice of the majority is
heard, the dictate of good sense as well
as the obligations of loyalty resting
upon every honest party man, call for
our active aid in furthering the party
purpose. The time to question the plat
forms and nominees is before the party
organization has spoken-when the or
ders have been issued the true, brave
soldier obeys them promptly even
though he may mentally question their
wisdom"
And then it says something which
should be impressed upon those whose
chronic infidelity, whose weather-cock
propensities are excused as 'incepen-
dence."
There is something noble in loyalty.
Rather than a badge of reproach, party
loyalty is compliment to mans in
telIigence, to his honesty and to his
earnest desire to accomplish something
for his country. Beware of man
without party loyalty-wanting in one
thing. he viii too often be found want
ing in many Party fealty springs
from the same manly impulse that
makes US faithful to country, to home
and to our friends. 1t is the political
Ishmaelite who is to be feared and
despised.'
There is a newspaper published in
this city whose highest conception of
duty is implicit obedience to a capri
oious boss: whose fickleness to prin-
ciples and infidelity to organizations is
the boast of it's degeneracy; whose
strongest term of opprobrium is to call
a party man "a party hack" whose
idea of an insult is to accuse an ad-
versary of party loyalty; and whose
own code of propriety enables it to
support goldbug party and yell for
silver at the same time.
AS The Herald urged the other morn
ing "the Post would not have any man
violate his conscience in choosing his
party connections, but having selected
the organization which to him seems
to advocate the best general policy for
the nation, he should bind himself to it
with a loyal purpose that knows no
infidelity, nor tagging, in single par
ticular'
1t says further that ''if the majority
has issued the orders the true soldier
will fall in line for their execution
Personal feeling should especially be
subordinated to party demands
These things are important as the
party is greater than one man, it's for
tunes of greater Importance than per-
sonal likes or dislikes. 1t is a struggle
for principle in which we are engaged.
No loyal Democrat Should allow any
personal considerations to lead him
from his party fealty and his plain
party duty"

One of the worst camps of the war
was at Moptauk Point, which Alger
pronounced the best and Mckinley ap-
proved. One of the best and heaIthiest
camps of the war was at Chickamauga.

Eighth New York regiment, stationed
there, says: THE camp at Chickamau-
