SEVENTY THOUSAND MEN.
The President Will BE Authorized TO
Call tor That Number of
Volunteers.

Washington, D. c., April 19.-Rep-
resentative Hull of Iowa, chairman
of the house committee on military
affairs, will, tomoi row, introduce an
administration bill authorizing the
president to issue call for volun-
teers to the number of $4,000 or 10000
men. 1t will be considered immedi-
ately by the committee, its passage
expedited as rapidly as possible and
will take effect Immediately upon the
presidents approval. Its terms will
authorize the president to call on the
various states for quotas in making
up the aggregate. BY reading in this
way instead of specifically looking to
calling out the various state militia,
will avoid several embarrassing tech
nicalities, the main one being the con-
stitutional inhibition on sending state
militia out of the country, while vol
unteers so called for can be ordered
anywhere. 1t is likely that if the sit
uation develops into such grave pro-
portions as is now expected a second
call for 100000 volunteers will be is
sued by the president. The necessity
for this immense number, however, is
not clear to the military authorities
at this time. The draft of the pres
ent war measure has just been franz
ed by the war department officials
and the leading members of the mill
tary committee have already con-
ferred with the war department au-
thOrities on the necessity on this line,
the latter having announced that a
maximum of $4,000 volunteers would
be a sufficient at this time.

FIXING SALARIES.

Whatever may be the ultimate action
of the city council on the mayors ap-
pointments, it is pursuing a very proper
course in deferring action until a salary
ordinance has been introduced and
passed. Were appointees confirmed
now, there might be a question whether
their salaries could be reduced during
their term. while if the salaries are
fixed before any appointments are
made, there can be no such question.
While the mayor and A majority of
the city council were not elected on the
same tickets, still the present admins
tration is pledged to economy and
reduction of the city's expenditures.
This reduction will have to come, in
part at least, from cutting of salaries;
and when the salaries are cut, the cut
must be stuck to. Is the council not
wise to wait until the matter of sal
aries is fixed, before confirming ap-
pcintments?
Salaries should be made to conform
to what the work is worth. Few public
servants work so hard as those who
are engaged in private employment,
and the work is regular and steady.
These facts make public positions
sought after more than any others;
hence salaries should tend to be low,
rather than high. In fixing salaries no
one viii want to place them low for
the mere purpose of exercising power,
but they should be fixed reasonably
low, because the financial condition of
the city is such that every economy
must be exercised; unless this is done,
the city will never do anything towards
discharging its heavy Indebtedness.
Economy must be the watchword dur
ing the present administration and
many others to come.

DURRANTS REMAINS.

One can understand why those in
control Of cemeteries should refuse to
have the remains of Durrant inferred
therein In them are gathered the sa-
cred dead, and friends and relatives go
there to weep and mourn over their de-
parted ones. The living do not like to
think Of a murderer being placed in the
same burying grounds with those who
have lived honorable and upright lives;
they feel that the crime still adheres to
the body of the criminal. Then, again,
the dead in cemeteries are placed there
with religious ceremonies, and this
gives an additional sacredness to them.
But why should crematories refuse to
reduce Durrant's body to ashes? They
are places erected for the purpose of
making money, and around them
hinges not one fond memory. There is
nothing Of the religious nature about
them; in fact, they are anti-religious
so far as Christians are concerned.
They reduce a body to ashes, deliver
the ashes to the friends who brought
the body for cremation, receive their
pay, and that is all there is to the mat
ter. Every feeling that one has for
the cemetery as the place where the
dead rest, in the case of the crematory
goes to the urn with its ashes.
1t is probable that the feeling against
Durrant in San Francisco has been
and still is so intense that any one who
would dare do anything even for his
remains would be made an object of
scorn. Durrant's crimes were great,
but vengeance should not pursue him
after death. If his body can not rest
in the soil of California, there is the
great Pacific ocean just outside the
Golden Gate, and into it it may be
cast, there to remain until the final
judgment day.

cRoKER's DorHEBoys HOTEL.

The New York Press On the Tip of
the Tongue man tells of some of Gro
ker's great schemes One of his great
est hobbies is to build hotel. One sup
posed to know Cookers plans tells the
Tip of the Tongue man that zone of
Mr.. Cookers most fancied schemes is
to build the largest and finest hotel in
the world. to be called the Tammany
house. One of the rules will be that
every Tammany appointee in the gov
eminent shall have a room there and
pay for it by the week, whether he oc-
cupies it or not. If he doesn't occupy
it, somebody else can, and in this way
a comfortable profit is to be made 1
think this is a dandy idea, don't you?
There'll have to be about 10000 rooms
Oh, it would be gorgeous. Waldorf
Astoria not in it! There was a rumor
that the king tried to buy the Astoria
of Astor, but when he heard there were
only 1900 rooms, he dropped the nego-
tiations. The Tammany house will
cover three city blocks, the intervening
streets being arcaded with steel and
cathedral glass. There will be three
hotel commissioners. and hear that
Jimmy Martin, after he has been pun
ished enough, will be one. Jimmy Boyle
and ex-Inspector Aleck Williams are
slated for the others. The old man is
going to push things along"
That is fine idea, indeed. This plan
would insure a patronage equal to the
capacity of the house, and if any of the
guests should ever kick, their kicking
could be stopped by simply telling the
boss" The price of rooms could be
fixed to yield almost any desired
amount, and this amount could be
doubled at any time by having the
regular guests move out for while,
whenever there was an extraordinary
demand for raising revenue. Whether
this great hotel will be finer than the
Astoria may be doubted, though no
doubt it will be las fine as silk" But
the name should not be Tammany
house; it should be Dotheboys Hotel.
for such it would be above all things
else

This will suggest the line along which
the tramp problem in great cities may
be solved in part, but it doesn't touch
the question, so far as the smaller cities
and rural communities are concerned.
The idea at the bottom, though, is the
one through which all efforts to eradi-
cate the tramp nuisance should b. made
that OF making the tramp work
Small towns. as well as large cities,
can make him do this, and without the
need of establishing any farm colony
When the invasion of the tramps be-
gins, let the authorities grab them
and put them to work. 1t is the only
way to do.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WORK.

A year ago the Democratic county
commissioners took Office. When they
went in they promised the people an
economical administration and a re-
duction of expenses. And they have
kept their promises. The expense of
running Salt Lake county in 1897 was
something more than $4,000 less than
in 1896. This shows the difference be-
tween Republican and Democratic rule,
between running the county's affairs on
strictly business principles and running
them for the benefit of ward politicians.
The county commissioners have done
grand work, and if they have produced
no great surplus, they have done what
no county court or commissioners have
done for years-made disbursements
come within the revenue. That was the
first great work to be done. The COM
ing year viii probably show better re-
suits still and the creation of a surplus
that can be applied to the wiping out
of county Indebtedness. a morning
contemporary undertakes to belittle the
work of the Democratic county COM
missioners when it says:
We are truly sorry that there was
mistake in the figures of county
finances, and that the surplus figured
on will not be a fact. 1t will not be en-
couraging TO the people to find that
after all their burdens and after the
rosy hopes held out, we are practically
making but little gain. The commits
sioners will have to tighten up the belt
of economy a few notcheS, for the peo-
pie must have relief. Somewhat better
things may be hoped for the ensuing
year, however as the cost of looking
into past finances has been paid, and
the way is now clear for further reduc-
lions of expenses.
It's sorrow is very like that which
prompts the crocodile to shed tears.
Isn't it encouraging to the people to
find that the expense of running the
county is $4,000 less under a Demo-
cratic than under Republican admin
istration? The people think it is.
The people know that the COM
missioners will do all in their power
TO lessen burdens and to have every
thing done in the most economical
manner
Commissioners Armstrong, Rawlins
and Hall deserve the thanks of the peo-
pie of Salt Lake county for their sue
cessful and economical administration
of the countys affairs; and they have
them.

tives were swapping stories at the city
hall a few evenings ago, says the Phila-
delphia Record. Talking about Red
Leary" said a gray-haired sleuth did
you ever hear of the neat trick he turned
ait a swell dinner party2 1t happened this
way. Many years ago Red Leary,' who
had been spending most of his time in
New York, managed in some way TO get
invited TO a Christmas dinner party given
BY Walnut street family. What his
graft was is not known, for he recog-
nlzed couple of detectives there and was
at once on his good behavior. During din
ner. Leary was the gayeSt there, and his
brilliant wit kept the guests in roar of
laughter.
Happening to glance down the table he
saw a well-known New York crook who
had also managed in some way TO get in.
Leary kept his eye on the fellow. and
before long saw him Secrete some of the
valuable silyerware in his clothes AT
once II dawned on Leary that the silver
woEid be missed and that he would be
arrested on suspicion, as the other crook
was comparatively unknown to the po-
lice After a little thought, Leary stood
up and offered to do feat in magic.
Some silverware was placed in his pocket
ana after few passes he announced that
II would be found on the other crook
person That worthy saw that he was
discovered. produced the stolen silver and
withdrew in short time. Leary man
aged TO secretly replace the rest of the
silver and the fun went on
