AsPERsING PRESIDENT BARNES.

In its account of the action of various
committees of the city council on the
mayors nominations, the Tribune said
in reference to Mr.. Pratts nomination:
The discussion indicated that the ma
jority report from the committee would
be adverse to confirmation But this IS
not surprising, as hostility to Chief
Pratt is believed to have had part
in the formation of the committee
Such a port, if made, will not be eff
fectiVe in the council, however, since
majority of the members viii vote for
the chiefs confirmation.
That IS a direct aspersion upon Pres
ident Barnes. When he made ZIP that
committee the question whether it was
hostile, favorable or Indifferent to the
confirmation of Mr.. Pratt never enter
ed into the composition. When the
committee makes its report it will be
ample time to express beliefs about it
Perhaps our contemporary would have
had the committee made up so that 1t
would be unquestionably in favor. of
confirmation. How the committee will
report or what action the council will
take. we do not know, but we do know
that the COUNCIL 10 uhOCA III SSi1Se
to confirm.
Politics is, so to speak, a struggle for
existence, and each party, as each in
dividual, regards self-preseryation as
the first law of nature. The combina-
ton that launched the non-Partisan
movement made a direct assault on
the Democratic party and did what 1t
could to destroy it. 1t is the intention
of that combination to perpetuate the
non-partisan organization, and to Sc
cure complete control of this city and
perpetuate it if possible. Mayor
Ciark's appointments generally will no
doubt be made for the purpose Of fur
thering this object. That is good poll
tics for the non-partisans, but why
should Democrats be asked to sacri-
flee their politics that non-partisan po-
litical schemes may be furthered? Po-
litically speaking, they owe nothing to
the non-partisans. The policy of the
Democratic council should not, and will
not be opposition to the mayors ap-
pointments because he was elected on
one ticket and they on another, but
whenever it becomes convinced that
any appointment is made as a reward
for past political services with an
expectation that they will be continued
in the future, the Democratic council
should reject the appointment. The
law of self-preservation demands this

UTAH AND HER FUTURE.

/ The Herald expects at all times to
labor diligently for the upholding of
/ Utah, upon lines that will produce the
most rapid development of her wonder
full resources, and will guarantee that
permanent prosperity which, in COM
mon with all her people, it hopes to
share. Utah, however, is peculiarly
situated in this respect, that the course
of political affairs will go a long way
toward shaping business conditions. 1t
is well known fact that not only
a large body of citizens in this com
munity, but also many eastern news
papers and capitalists, and hosts of
eastern people, regard with distrust the
promises that have been made of COM
plete separation of religious from po-
litical influences in this state. Every
political act win be closely scrutinized
by them to determine whether such a
condition of affairs exists, or is likely
to exist, as to render it undesirable
to associate their civic liberties and
their fortunes with the new state. Es-
pecialIy will all eyes be turned toward
the capital city of the state for the
best evidences as to what the future
contains. No individual or corporation,
no association of individuals, whether
secular or sectarian, can afford to have
it published to the world that here in
Utah, we have no politics, in the Amer
lean sense of that term. An abandon
ment of those STRAIGHT party ties, that
lie along the lines of national demarca-
ton, would prove to be the greatest
injury imaginable to every element of
our population. Under these circum-
stances. it should be the first care of
all persons, acting in an official ca
pacity, that no act of theirs can be
construed into such a breach of party
obligations, that it can be attributed
only to improper and un-American in
fluences. The Herald is well within
it's rights in demanding that all citi-
zens having authority, whether public
officials or not. shall so act that the
sneers of enemies may be silenced and
the voices of suspicion lulled to sleep;
to the end that peace, prosperity and
patriotism-a blessed trio-may walk
hand in hand throughout our common
wealth

A PERFECT INAUGURAL AID
DRESS

No one will think of comparing
Mayor Van Wyck of Greater New York
with julius Caesar. yet Mr.. Van
Wyck's Inaugural address recalls, by
reason Of its terseness, what Caesar
wrote to his friends after he had rout-
ed Pharmacies Ponticus at the first as
sault 'I received this office from the
people. 7 accept it from them, and to
them 1 will answer" was all there was
to Mayor Van Wyck's inaugural adj
dress.
AS an inaugural address it is admir-
able: It IS indispensable. From the
people he received his office; from them
he accepted it; to them he will answer.
Could any speech, no matter how elab-
crate or how ornate, have expressed
more than was expressed by Mayor
Van WICK in those two simple SEN
fences? They said everything that the
occasion required. and they left moth
ing unsaid. With much labor he might
easily have amplified this model inaug-
ural into a firing, boring speech, filed
with Dlatitudes and empty nothings.
Had he done this, it would have been
nothing but linked sweetness long
drawn out It would have lost by
elaboration the power, brilliancy and
fitness that make it unique as an in
augural address, and perfect model.

DURRANT EXECUTED.

After a long time and many legal
delays Theodore Durrant, the murderer
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Will
Jams. has been executed. On the scat
fold his conduct was commendable in
all respects. He died protesting his in
nocence.
The fact that he died protesting his
innocence will raise a doubt about his
guilt in many minds. When a man,
in the full possession of his faculties,
standing on the brink of the grave,
knowing there is no possible chance Of
saving his life, declares that he is in
nocent of the crime for which he is
about to die, it. naturally causes peo-
pie to ask the question, Was he really
innocent? They wonder what possible
motive a person could have for dying
with lie on the lips when the lie
cannot possibly avail such person any
thing. If a man has a hardened con-
science he will not care whether he
goes to the grave with one more or less
lie upon it. He may have a hardened
conscience and yet have a keen re-
gard for his reputation. A bad and
wicked man will defend his reputation
at the risk of his life. Such being the
case. it is quite easy to understand
that a guilty man on the gallows will
die with a lie on his lips that his repu-
tation may not suffer. Durranr may
have done this very thing. The wicked
est man that ever lived likes to die
in as good repute as possible among
his fellow men,
Durrant's protestation of innocence
viii bring forth protests from those
opposed to capital punishment; this is
quite certain. It will also, in all prob
ability, cause considerable discussion
of the question whether any person
should ever be executed where convic-
ton is had upon circumstantial evil
dence. In the majority of cases where
murder is charged, conviction must rest
upon circumstantial evidence from the
very necessity Of the case 1t is true
that men are sometimes convicted of
murder where there has been no muir
der committed, and their supposed VIC
tins actually turn up. Such cases,
though, are remarkably rare. There
could be nothing like this. so far as the
victims turning up is concerned, in the
present case. No matter what any one

SOME INDIscRETIoNs.

When the founders of our govern
ment first ordained that it should be
divided into three distinct departments,
executive, legislative and judicial, they
established . system which has been
vindioated all down the line of our
body polite. Therefore, when Mayor
Clark, on Thursday night, personally
followed his appointments into the in
dependent and coordinate branch of
the legislative department. he COM
mitted a breach of Dropriety deserving
of censure.
Again, when the mayor intimated to
the police and fire committee that he
intended to stand by Mr. Pratt regard
less Of the wishes of the committee or
the council. he, in fact. served notice
rpon them that he proposes TO be the
whole thing" during this administra-
ton. It would not be human if the
gentlemen whose official rights were
thus invaded, do not pick up the gage
of battle so needlessly thrown down.
Also, the MAYOR was somewhat for
getful Of his campaign pledges of re-
trenchment ard reform in sending in
any nominations at all until compre-
hensive plan for reducing expenses had
been agreed upon. AS The Herald is
informed, Il those nominations should
be confirmed. the apDointees would
hold their offices and their salaries, re-
CARELESS of any general scheme of con-
solidation of offices or reduction of sal
aries.
Mr.. Pratt's appointment likewise in
dicates az unnecessary haste on the
mayors part to use public office as
reward FOR partisan services. 1t will
be observed that such action is en-
tirely contrary TO the new gospel of
purity in politics preached during the
municipal campaign. And the appoint
ment itself, in face of the ordinance
abolishing the Office of chief of police,
was a distinct invasion of the rights of
another coordinate branch of govern
ment. The courts might well have been
allowed first to pass upon the validity
of this ordinance.

JAcKsoN's DAY.

1t is Jackson's day, a saints day in
the Democratic calendar. For all time
to come Andrew Jackson will be re-
garded as the typical Democrat. As
each year rolls by his remarkable per
sonality seems to stand out more and
more clearly and we'll defined. I'm
doubtedly that which causes him to be
so greatly admired is his character,
rather than his abilities; though they
were great. yet not of the highest or
der.
In this city there win be no such cell
ebration OF the day as is usually GUS
tomary, but it is not the celebration
Of the day that always evinces the
highest regard for the man whose birth
distinguishes it, though celebrations of
it are always fitting The Democrats
of Ogden, always loyal to the grand
cause of the people, will observe the
day as Democrats everywhere like to
see it observed. An interesting pro-
gramme has been arranged, and it
would be a very proper thing for a
large delegation of Salt Lake Demo-
Gratis to attend the ogden celebration.
The Democracy of today feels more
keenly than for many a year that the
spirit of Andrew Jackson is with them

THE OPPOSITION TO HANNA.

What the result of the contest at
Columbus, O.. win be cannot be posi-
lively predicted. The opposition to
Hanna is in danger of failing through
dissensions in it's own ranks. The forces
of the ex-senator are a compact body,
staying we'll together. This of itself is
a very important matter. There is no
necessity each day of seeing that legis
lators stand where they did the day
before: but there is such a necessity
where any force is composed of legis-
lators that do not have fundamental
political principle that holds them to-
gether. Hannas forces have this prin-
ciple, while the opposition forces do
not have it.
What IS it that now unites them?
Opposition to Hanna and not any con-
currence of opinions as to principles
and policies. Such being the case, and
their main object being common, the
wise thing to do is to sink all, in this
case, minor differences, unite on some
candidate, and down Hanna. If this
is rot done, Hanna will be sent to the
senate.
At the present time his chances have
a look of desperation about them. He
and his supporters have found it neces-
sary to resort to the hurrah method.
Meetings in various counties are being
called for the purpose of influencing
the recalcitrant Republicans in the leg
islature. But they are not liable to
have any great influence. AT this stage
of the game no one can say that Hanna
is beaten. though nothing could be
palmer than that he is encountering a
much more determined opposition than
he counted on after the November cleo
ton. He can be beaten, but to do it
everything must be subordinated to
that one object: otherwise he will tri-
umph.

The Pittsburg Dispatch, a sound
money. paper, IS not at all dazzled by
the brilliancy of Mr.. Eckels' career as
comptroller of the currency. Speaking
OF his action in the case of the Chestnut
Street National bank, it says:
The fact that the last event Of in
terest under Mr.. Eckels' administra-
ton showed that he did not even pre-
tend 10 enforce the direct and positive
requirements oe the law, in the case
of the Chestnut Street National bank,
does got make the slightest difference
to these eulogists. Indeed, it is as
serted by them that the comptroller
used a wise discretion concerning a
violation of the national bank act for
which the law DreScribeS the for
feiture os the offending banks char
ter and therrecovery of the damages
from the guilty directors. Thus it is
seen that the breaking down of the
safeguards Of the act is only another
claim cs the late comptroller on the
praise of his eulogists-
But this presents the following
logical dilemma: Comptroller Eckels
and his newspaper eulogists have been
teaching the people that the national
bank system is so regulated and safe
guarded by law that its depositors are
protected, and notes issued on its as
sets will be actually better and safer
than the notes issued on the faith and
credit Of the government, and pro-
teeted by . gold reserve of 500, 100000
to $3.50, 900. ; The assertion with re-
gard 10 the protection of depositors in
the national banks is true-provided
the safeguards OF the act are main
tanned and it's provisions enforced.
But when we are brought in contact
with the other horn of the doctrine,
that the comptroller is to be praised
for ignoring direction violation of the
act. the question intrudeS itself into
the discussion: Where, under that
policy, is the protection of the deposit
tors. an6 where would be the protec-
ton OF the note holders?
Perhaps. on a little consideration, it
may be perceived that Comptroller
Eckels IS praised because he has done
and said exactly what the national
bankers told him to do. A theory of
regulation in which the law can be
ignored when it is inccnvenient to the
interests regulated, does not commend
itself as a means of ideal security.

DANCING IN TIE WHITE HOUSE

The world has not forgotten yet,
Though sixty years have passed away,
Those times it never will forget
When Washington was really gay;
The days when hearts were wont to beat,
When legislative cares were done,
To music timed to flying feet
The days of Dolly Madison.
All, gentle soul, How brightly shine
Her countless graces through the years,
Her presence cheered the world like wine,
And youth today her name reveres;
With Happiness for All her creed,
A nations love for aye she won;
First Lady OF the Land, indeed
Was lovely Dolly Madisoni
The capital was Fashions court
Where she was reigning empress then,
And leader of the royal sport.
Her slaves fair women and brave men:
And when the merry stately throngs
Mid flowers and lights their dance be-
gun,
The nation quite forgot its wrongs
And laughed with Dolly Madison.
The musics measure died away
Long. long ago within those walls;
But now once more the gossips say.
There'll be some splendid White House
balls.
IT'S well; and when soft strains renew
Old memories, [ fancy one
Who'll smiling trip the measures
