SHEEP HERDS ORDERED TO
MOVE.

We are informed that the SheeDmen
who have herds of sheep up on the
headwaters OF the Bear river and the
adjacent country, have been ordered to
move their floclls by the first of Sep
tember We are not informed who is
issuing these orders, nor could we as
certain. But the question is, Who has
any right TO order the sheepmen to re-
move their focks from these feeding
grounds? They are not included with
in any reservation, and are not tres
passing. 1t is true that the country
where these focks of sheep are feeding
was included in Mr.. Cleveland's for
estry reservation order. In his procla-
nation. which was issued in February,
1897 the Uintah forest reservation was
set aside as were others, but congress
ter. and the consequence is there is no
such reservation.
1t is a very important question, and
affects the sheepmen most intimately.
They have no desire to come in conflict
with the government. but they GER
tainly have a right to know by what
authority they are ordered to remove
their flocks. Is it possible that the adj
ministTation is acting on the theory
that Mr.. Cleveland's proclamation Gre
ated the reservations, and that con-
Sressional action to withdraw the lands
included within them is not necessary?
The matter is important, and is one
that might we'll be taken UP by the
Wool Growers association.

1t is not too much to say that it is
conceded on all hands that the next
legislature, as was the last, will be
Democratic. Upon it will devolve the
duty Of electing a United States sena-
tor to succeed Hon. Frank j. Cannon.
1t is probable that there will be num-
Der Of candidates ambitious to be Sen
ator Cannon's successor. 1t goes with
out saying that the gentlemen who
may be candidates will be from among
the most eminent members of the
party. These candidates and their
friends will very naturally seek to adj
vance their interests in every legiti-
mate manner. To this there can be no
possible objection. But the legislative
candidates OF the Democratic party
should be men and women who are
unpledged to the support of any sena-
torial candidate; and the conventions
nominating them should refuse to in
struct for any candidate, and see that
no one who is pledged is nominated.
This will be equally to the interests of
all candidates and to the best interests
of the party.
Let there be no pledged candidates.

ITS REMARKABLE SUCCESS.

The Tribune insists that its influence
with the administration and the con-
cessions it has received in consequence,
means bribery, and bribery with
money"
Let it go at that. If the Tribune
wants it so, it were foolish to quarrel
with it over the title of its action. But
that it has sought and obtained favors
from the present administration is
self-evident and generally believed.
1t says that The Herald explained
that two of the personal friends of the
Tribune had received public offices
from the administration" Our con-
temporary is trying to let itself down
by easy stages. The Herald said more
1t said that the Tribune. through some
mysterious influence with the admin
istration, had secured for it's personal
friends two of the juiciest pluns from
the administration pie; and that two
of it's personal enemies, although warm
supporters of Mckinley, had been
turned down in the same connection.

THE FLAG AT HAWAII.

The account of the raising of the
Stars and Stripes over Hawaii and the
taking of formal possession of the
islands, cannot fail TO thrill every
American The event was historical.
and will prove momentous If there
were wet eyes as they watched the flag
of Hawaii descend from the fiagstaffs
on the public buildings it is not to be
wondered at, for many memories are
associated with the Hawaiian flag in
the minds of the people of Hawaii; and
there is always a sadness in breaking
with the past, even when the future is
to be brighter and better.
Now the Stars and Stripes float over
Hawaii and Will float there so
long as the United States are a great
power in the world. And what a gIo-
rious and welcome sight to all Ameri-
cans who traverse the Pacific ocean it
will be to see in the islands of the Pa
cific the old flag floating over American
territory

WHO SLAMMED THE DooRP

1t says that we gave out the impress
sion that we favored the candidacy of
Mr. Cannon. Probably We have said
| that the only significance, for silver. in
the fight in Utah this year, is whether
Mr.. Cannon shall be returned or not.
We say so still. And when the Democ-
racy closed the door in the senator S
| face, they advertised that they did not
care a straw for his services or for the
blow to silver that his defeat would in
! f1ict; that is their position and the po-
sition of The Herald. exactly.-Tribune.
Who closed the door in the senator's
ways open. Senator Cannon is welcome
to enter So is every other friend of
silver.
But. come to think of it, there was a
door closed in the senator's face not
very many days ago. 1t was slammed
shut with criticism of his tabernacle
talk, locked with a key of public pat
ronage, bolted with protection" bolt,
and barred by the Tribune's endorse
ment of Mckinley Republicans as "sil-
yer men,
Then what hypocrisy our neighbor
showsi Processing a desire for Mr.
Cannon's reelection, when its whole
tone for more than a week has been
against it. 1t was just the other day
that our Republican contemporary
asked what difference it would make
to the cause of silver whether Demo-
crat or a Republican were elected. 1t
was concerned in the matter of tariff
protection. 1t was looking out for
two. at least, of the ranking industries
of the state
That was a blow at Senator Cannon,
and the Tribune so intended it. 1t is
only one of many stabs in the back our
neighbor has favored the senator with
recently.
1t is not for the purpose of defend
ing him that this is mentioned, but to
show the rank hypocrisy of the Trib-
une which endorses Postmaster Arthur
Thomas call, proposes fusion with Nc
Kinleyites, declares that those who
supported the st. Louis ticket are ''sil-
yer men," demands protection" and
free coinage together, requires that
work for silver be confined to the gold
bug party, and then, in the same
breath, intimates, but does not say,
that it favors Frank Cannon.
Our contemporary has had a great
deal to say about The Herald and sill
yer. 1t has stated it's opinions freely
and without regard to truth or COM
mon decency.
The Tribune forgets that others may
express opinions, too. And it has been
pretty generally remarked throughout
the state. for better than year. that
the Tribune is fioundering around in
search of some excuse to get back into
the Republican organization; that it
will echo Mark Hanna's cry, Death
to Democracy" before this campaign is
over.
1t seems that we have heard that
echo already.

RAscALLY CONTRACTORS.


Had the war continued for year in
stead of for three months and a half.
the government would have been
robbed right and left by the contrac-
tors. 1t has recently come to light that
an army contractor sold 4,OO9 paper
soled shoes for the troops at Camp
Alger. The fraud was discovered dur
ing short march, a march that was
for practice and nothing else.
Surprising those men had been max
ing forced marches in the enemy's
country, their plight might have been
critical in the extreme, for infantry
must have sound feet to march, and
without good shoes this is impossible
Troops without proper covering for
their feet are quite as helpless as troops
without food. The success of a cam
paign might very easily depend upon
the shoes of the soldiers, for their ca
pacity to march might very easily de-
pend upon them. A contractor who
would furnish such shoes as was fur
nished 10 the troops at Camp Alger is

LET THERE BE AN INVESTIGA-
TON.

The plight of the Spanish prisoners
at Santiago appears to be distressing
in the extreme, TO judge from the con-
dition, of those who have embarked for
Spain. Even with the best preparation
for taking care of the sick and wounded
! in the field in war time there will of
necessity be many il conveniences,
many privations that there would not
be in permanent and well-appointed
hospitals. In the field the patients
ccme IN so thick and fast that some
viii be neglected to greater or less
extent. In the case of the Santiago
campaign the ordinary conditions sur
rounding field hospital were greatly
aggravated, more than they would have
been in almost any other country. Our
own soldiers and our Spanish prisoners
sickened down rapidly after the sur
render of the city; sickened down with
almost epidemic rapidity. Under such
circumstances the resources of the med
zeal department were naturally taxed
to the very utmost, no matter what
preparation had been made. Under any
circumstances there would have been
some complaints.
We have said what would have been
under any circumstances, and with the
best preparation. But there was not
the best preparation for taking care
of the sick and wounded by any
n cans, according to all accounts. 1t
is a month and a half since Santiago
surrendered. and there does not appear
to have been any effort made to render
proper medical aid and assistance to
our soldiers and our prisoners at San
tiago. When the Spanish prisoners
came under the control of this govern
ment. it was as much its duty to give
them as good care and attention as it
gave its own soldiers; and it was per-
fectly able to. too.
1t is probable that there has been
considerable exaggeration in the ac-
counts of the conditions at Santiago,
and the lack of care and suffering of
the troops and prisoners, though there
is no doubt that conditions save been
bad. and the lack of care and suffer-
ing great.
While this is all so, still there is
every reason why there should
be d most thorough and searching in
vestigation into the question of the
condition of the troops and prisoners at
Santiago. and the truth of the asser-
lions regarding the lack of medical
supplies. 1t is a question that touches
the nations honor, and should be
cleared up. As the war was under
taken in part in the interests of hu-
hanity, those same interests require
that there be a full, fair and impartial
investigation. And it can begin none
too soon.

Speaking of the Hanna letter and the
accession of Hon. David Keith to the
Democratic party, the Houston (Tex.)
Pest says:
The financial question is the greatest
dividing line between the two old par
ties today. 1t dominates all other is
sues. 1t is just as sensible to attempt
to make water and oil mix as to try
to reconcile bimetallism with Republi-
canism. A free silver man is throwing
away his time, his energies and his
principles in aligning himself with any
other party than the Democratic. The
same is true of the Republican who is
endorsing PopuliSm, or the PopuliSt
who is helping Republicanism. In all
such cases it is sacrifice of principles
for selfish partisan ends, and can ac-
complish nothing but the discontinue
of those who engage in such work.
