HANGERS oN' IN POLITICS.

our evening contemporary says that
little inquiry and investigation will
convince any resident of this city that
there are a surprising number of men
hanging around the different depart
ments of the city government. watch
ing for a chance to draw little or a
great deal of public money, for real or
alleged services. as the case, respect
lively, may be; that in former years
such a sight was never seen here. 1t
declares that self-respect among the
men Of Utahs capital was too preva-
lent and well maintained to allow amy
of them TO become political hangers

contrast with the past in this respect
Whether this is so we do not know.
because we haven't visited a single city
department since Mayor Clark entered
upon his administration. If it is so, it
is one of the evils that have come with
the advent of the glorious non-partisan
administration, with it's strictly bus
mess methods. Then our contempo-
rary goes on to say that your political
hanger-on is a most despicahle species
of social parasite. In time of war, if he
has courage enough to endure the sight
of swords, guns and bayonets, he may
become a camp follower, subsisting
upon what booty he can secure by that
vocation. In time of peace. when his
party is defeated and the votes he can
influence are not an available asset,
he is likely to become a tramp. Almost
inevitably his associations are immoral
Usually he drinks, and gambling den
is where he meets his friends. There
are different grades of the species, of
course, but this description fits its
type"
That is a terrible, though perhaps
truthful description of the men who
shouted and worked and voted for nom
craftsmanship and reform. OF course
they are all aware that Mayor Clark
has the appointment of all assistants
and clerks. We feel that these hang
ers-on" would not be camp followers in
the event Of war, for when they joined
the non-partisan movement they Joined
it with determination to die for their
country, in office if they could. Some of
the non-partisan hangers on" have not
been able as yet to catch on but they
are all in hopes to, and when they do
they will hang on like grim death to a
darkey.
The evils discovered by our contem-
porary are clearly the outgrowth of
the non-partisan movement. The way

Hanna Judge Day entered the depart

of the department in a satisfactory
maSaef. as a whole: and this at
most critical time. Secretary Sherman
has not been equal to the discharge OF
the duties of his new station, and they
have devoived upon his assistant. The
manner II which he has discharged
them IS another striking evidence of
the aptitude of Americans for politics
of the highest order. To the average
American politics comes as natural as
his native tongue, and where his edu-
cation and profession have been along
Lies more or less running into poll
tics and he has paid special attention
to history ard the theory OF govern
ment, he usually rises to the occasion,
no matter in what position he may be
placed. 1t is a common saying, reiter-
ated TO WEAKNESS, that there are no
trained diplomats in America. That is
true. but American ambassadors and
ministers have always been able TO
hold their own with the diplomats Of
Europe when they have had TO deal
with the most momentous questions.
The real charge against them is their
lack of the social graces. In this re-
spect they have not always. not sener-
ally. in fact, been the equals of the
men with whom they have had to
transact diplomatic business. nut for
strict business they have compared very
favorah!y.
Judge Day was unframed in states

as well as some who have been trained
to craftsmanship all the days of their
life. He has certainly surpassed ex-
pectations. for when he was appointed
there were no expectations whatever
concerning him, hardly wonderment as
to his fitness for the place.

There is much truth in what the Phil
adelphia Ledger says when it declares
that "the reports that come from the
Klondike gold field grow more golden
as the season advances. Men are no
longer content to gather gold at the
rate of So or Sc a pan, as in the first
reports They collect it now by the
barrel full: but it is significant that the
possessors of these great Accommodations
of wealth always seem to come back to
civilizati ton and leave their treasure be-
hind them. On the other hand come
reports of privation,- sufferings. fearful
storms and perils that can be overcome
by none but the hardest. OF this char
acter is the Seattle dispatch, which
says that the Stickeen route is impas-
sable, and about thousand men are
showed up on it. There is great rea-
son to believe that this report is true.

seekers WIN never be seen again alive"

GENERAL MILES ON WAR.

Addressing the veterans of the Sec
ond army corps, General Miles ex-
pressed the hope that there will be no
war, but he declared if war should
come 1--WE will be prepared, so that the
| conflict will be short, sharp and de-
cisive." Coming as this does from the
general commanding the army, it will
give assurance to the country that our
ports and harbors are not in the de-
fenseless condition that they have often
been pictured to be in. For the past
three or four years when anything has
been said about the defenses of the
country, it has generally conveyed the
impression that the country was in
deplorably exposed condition. What
General Miles says indicates that this is
not the case.
When he says that a conflict should
any come, will be short, sharp and de-
cisive, he doubtless has in view the
fact that all modern wars have been
such; that is, all wars since the close
of the civil war in our own country.
But if this government should go to
war with Spain, the only country with
which there is the remotest likelihood
of conflict, it would be chiefly naval
war, the first modern naval war. 1t
might or it might not be short, sha-p
and decisive. If the fortunes of war
favored Spain at first, and no one can
say which country they would favor,
it would not be short, sharp and de-
cisive. If the fortunes of war favored
this country, then it would be, for
Spain would have put forth her whole
strength, while such would not be the
case with the United States
Spain is a small country Moreover,
try. but it would be serious mistake
to underrate her as a foe. a cruel and
bigoted nation she always has been, a
cowardly one never A war with
the United States would, perhaps,

of this fact, and fearing that, perhaps.
humiliation might follow defeat, would

and fight with q desperation born of

United States would be a struggle for
existence, and she would fight accord
ingly. The final outcome would not be

would occur in the meantime. Amer

dence they have in their country, but |
it would be a mistake to think that /

Practical Economy.

During his recent brief outing in the
vatican gardens Leo XIII came across
an assistant gardener who was digging
the soil His holiness is always anxious
to study under its practical aspect the
problem of just remuneration for the

than ore encyclical he has developed
broad-minded theories, says the London
