COUNCILMAN AsHs OPINION.
Thinks the Appointments Made By
the Mayor Are Void.


Chairman Ash, of the police commits
sion of the city council, is of the opin-
ion that the mayor exceeded his power
when he made appointments of officers
on the police department and yester-
day Ash sent TO Chief Davenport a
letter stating that he would decline to
sign the pay roll of the police depart
ment in case it should contain the
names Of any men who were not mem
bers of the department on the last day
of last year. His reasons are expressed
in the following letter: Il consider
those men who We're in the depart
ment on Dec. 81, 1897, de factO Off
GERS expected to perform their duties
as officers and TO receive such salaries
for the performance of their %Ities as
the city council may direct. until an
ordinance creating the police depart
ment of ogden City shall become a
law and until their successors are APP
pointed and confirmed and shall have
qualified, but all men who were ap
pointed since Jan. l. 1895 / consider
not legally appointed, and not entitled
TO draw salary. as they We're appointed
to positions in a department which did
not exist and viii not exist until an
ordinance creating the police depart
ment of Ogden CITY shall become a
law"
The position of Chairman Ash, it will
be seen, is that the council must pass
the ordinance which has already been
introduced in that body ard which has
passed its second reading. before the
city can have q regular police depart
ment. Under this view the appoint
ment of the three jailers and of Farr
and Shaw. Datrolme-, Will not stand,
but the other appointees in the police
department are entitled to their sala-
ries, because they were in Office at the
beginning OF the year. In the fire de-
partment there has been but one new
appointee. that of Chief Riser. EX-
Chief Binford has given notice that he
lays claim to the office and goes a step
further than Mr.. Ash, claiming that
because he was in office at the begin
ming of this year he cannot be dis
placed for two years unless the legis-
lature shall repeal the law, which he
claims is still in force, that is. the old
fire ard police commission law.
ANOTHER MIDDLE.
JaiIer Baxter will contest the right of
the mayors appointee to his office as
day jailer and police clerk, on the
ground that the city council. and not
the mayor, is empowered to fill the
office of jailer. He relies on section 62
of the code. which states, among other
things. that the city council shall have
power to employ jailers, while the pow
ers of the mayor are that he shall ap-
point, with the consent of the city
council, such appointive officers as are
not otherwise provided for. Baxter
has never given up his Office because

inc disposition by the name of "Jackass'' Cassidy. Cassidy was a tender of f1ocks on the honey-scented slopes of the afore- mentioned country, and had earned his sobriquet by certain characteristics which had been noticed in his composition by his numerous friends and admirers.
 Some thirty miles from the habitat of MT. Cassidy there dwelt a gentleman of large landed requirements, who owned punches of cattle that were wont to stray through the fences surrounding the domi- cile of "Jackass," thereby causing that individual much labor and mental dis comflture. Jackass thought over the matter for some time, and concluding that the trespass must cease began to de- ltberate on the best manner of bringing it to an end. After considerable thought he figured out that the surest and most satisfactory way to settle the whole trouble was to kill the owner of the cattle. Accordingly one fine morning Cassidy loaded up his sfX-Shooter and saddling up the old gray mule on which he always travelled he rode thirty miles to the house of his neighbor, and, finding him at home, Jackass dismounted, tied his mule to a fence and entered the ranch house to finish the job as soon as pos sible, as he had promised to sup and sleep at the house of a friend as soon as he had concluded his business He got inside the door, when the owner of the ranch hit him on the head with an iron cuspidor, and then, carefully beating him into a jelly, threw him outside where he would bleed in the dust and not soil any thing.
 "Jackass came to in about an hour and going over to the fence where his mule was tied, unfasfened that patient animal, and mounting returned to his pastoral home"

 The speaker has never been noted as a wit or q humorist, and he made attempt to rival Chauncey Depew. His address was directed rather to the coun try at large than to the banqueers around him. but even with them found cordial approval and respon- sive cheers He spoke of the character of American citizenship and of the quality of manhood which the responsibilities and liberties have developed in the United States, and, rightly enough, found the best and most fitting illustration of his words in the man. ner in which private citizens now confronting the issue of war.

THE EXAMINER AS A LARCENIST.

I Is neither in anger, sorrow surprise call
 attention to the fact that the Examiner has once more been indulging its larcenous tendency. To be explicit it has been stealing again This has come to be expected The Call as a public journal feels bound record the circumstance just as chronicles an instance of burglary, the picking of pocket the latest confidence exploit of Soapy Smith. The Ex- amner is the Soapy Smith of journalism
 Yesterday The Call enabled, through its un- equaled news facilities, to print full and particu- larly graphic account of the storming of Matanzas Arrangements perfected long ago whereby every phase of possible battle was to be covered by the Call-Herald service, Trained correspondents were dispatched to all available points, tugs and ocean-going steamers chartered, and the question of cost permitted in measure to hamper the com pleteness of the plan. From a Call Herald boat cor respondents witnessed the action off Matanzas. No other papers had risen to the occasion The journal istic world was beaten by The Call Herald combina- ton. It has been beaten from the first There is to suppose that in the future this combination will continue to show other papers the way And all the matter IS copyrighted which adds to the theft element of danger But the Examiner had only one way to get it. This was by waiting for The Call to appear, securing early copy and clipping out the story. So 1t was done. The enterprise which rises to the height of the deliberate expenditure of 5 cents to get the should not be passed un- noticed. It naturally interests the public; it ought to interest the police.
 Of course the necessity for waiting for its war news until able to steal 1t delayed the issue somewhat and the Examiner with its booty was not on the street before The Call had satisfied the demand for the la test information from the front The beated arcenis also missed the mails, incident for which the peo- pie in outside towns have reason to feel grateful but probably will not
 The position of the Examiner is little less than pathetic. Long had 1t camored for war Then The Call scooped 1t the explosion of the Maine while the Herald treatedthe Journal the same way For weeks its editorial room ankle deep with bright red gore Indeed occasional splotches of this same gore have appeared in the paper, labeled as scenes by special artists. Yet when war actually began in acquescence to the demand of the Examiner that paper not there, and could only by the exercise of its justly celebrated dishonesty form connection with any one who had been there.
 With all its practice the Examiner ought to be less bungling in method It ought not, for instance have dated its stolen matter from Chicago when no Chi cago paper had 1t. However 1t had the judgment to steal good stuff. We cheerfully give the devil his due, and to his visible agents earth extend sim liar courtesy.
