TRYING TO BuNCO LABOR.


The local Republican organ is making
piteous appeals to. the workingmen of
Salt Lake City 10 rally round the stand
ard that it holds aloft in this cam
pafgn. After calling the Federation of
Western Miners an aggregation Of cut
Threats and branding the members in
discriminatory as murderers and dyna-
miters, it is doubtful if the Tribune
viii be able 10 make much Roadway
with intelligent workingmen.
In all this country there is not q
more vindictive and uncolnpromising
enemy of labor associations than the
local Republican organ. 1t is. partic-
ularly severe on the miners fedora
tfon, and never loses am opportunity to
denounee it and all ITS members.
We hope to see every murderer, every
dynamiter, every fire bug in northern
Idaho held and punished ais such crlmi-
nails deserve to be; not driven out by
indiscTiminate measures to prey upon
other localities. But we do net believe
that the miners union is behind such
dastardly work nor doee any other
friend of organized labor from one
ocean to che other We do not believe
their conventions are composed CT as
sassins and anarchists, as the local Re
publican organ has repeatedly declared.
We do not believe the chosen repre-
sentatives of mining camps all over
Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana are cut threats and blather-
sixties, or accessories or apologisits for
crime as the Tribune has accused them
Of being.
Nor do we look for the decent labor
ing men Of Utah" to endorse by their
vote its wholesale charges OF ignorance
and crianinakty against the miners or
ganization in the west. The Tribune
used 10 be able 10 hoOdwink and cajole
the miners and labortng men while
supporting un-American action against
them, but its power has departed

EzRA's HANDICAP.

There are two reasons why the Re
publican organ has failed to say any
thing in favor of its candidate for
mayor: He has no experience in pub
lie affairs and no opinions of munich
pal government his journalistic cham
pion can commend; and his close rela-
tionship to Pratt and Lannan would be
revealed to more people than are now
aware of it should the Tribune espouse
his cause with the zeal it feels.
Mr.. Barnes. on the other hand, re-
ceives the very highest compliment the
Republican organ ever bestows-its I'M
reasoning, uncompromising hatred and
opposition. If Ezra had that he might
have show Of winning first money in
the pending race.
As The Herald has said before, Mr..
Barnes is a faithful Democrat, a con-
scientious business man, and, if elect
ed. VIII make capable. careful and
creditable mayor; his experience as
president of the city council win be of
use in the discharge of the duties of the
important position to which he as
pires.
But, of course. all who prefer to see
the public square turned into a race
track. with Arthur Pratt in charge
and the tower set apart as a judges
stand, with the elevator constantly
groaning under the weight of the wide
~ known editor will stand by Ezra.

LIBERIA ASKS ADMISSION.

An envoy from the negro republic of
Africa has been in this country for
some time trying TO interest the presi-
dent and other pillars of the adminis-
tratiun in extending the protecting in
huence of fhe stars and stripes over
Liberia as the president has done with
the Sulu islands
If the United States government is
land hungry" says a prominent col
cred man in an eastern paper, there
is no better acquisition possible than
Liberia" And he gives the following
reasons why il would be, better to
abandon the Sulus with their sultans
and slaves, the Igorrotes and head
hunters, the Tagals and their insurTec-
tionte.s, as soon as peace is obtained
and turn our attention to Liberia:
]. Liberia is pecpled with negroes
with whom the people of this nation are
familiar. They were brought up in the
United States, Or else they are descend
ants Of former slaves.
>. They are peaceable people, not
given TO revolutions, inclined to look
upon American institutions as models,
and their occupations are similar to
those carried on in this country.
5. There is no slavery in Liberia for
the new Republican party to sanction
as an offset TO Lincoln's emancipation
of the slaves.
4. Liberia offers 4 solution to the race
problem which has been growing more
complicated in this ccurtry every year.
5. This talk about deporting the ne
groes of the south to the Philippines is
nonsense; better send them to their
native continent than 10 a land already
deusely settled by Malays. slave deal
ers and south sea ISLANDERS.
Some administration organs. more
grasping than others. suggest the es-
tablishment of a proteetoraite over Lii
IBERIA in addition TO The retention of the
Philippines. They argue that, having
started in TO take everything that is
not nailed down. our William the Con-
queror might just as wen invade Africa,
not for the purpose OF preventing blood
shed between the British and the Beers.
but for the purpose Of increasing the
necessity for a large standing army.
In case America refuses to grant
their request exclaims on, anxious
imperiaIist. che dusky Statesmen will
move on to England, which rarely lets
pass anything of the sort. and in a year
from now we may regret that we didn't
heed their appeal and extend Our do
main 10 the dark continent.
The Commercial Advertiser, on the
other hand. thinks We are mixing up
in the troubles CT either continents
quite enough. 1t says: There seems
to be nothing to gain for US in such

MAYOR cLARK's REWARD.

It is pretty tough on Mayor Clark TO
have the men who nominated him and
worked for his election, who signed his
platform, who pledged him to appoint
officials of known worth and tried ex-
perience, who have endorsed his off
cial record within the month, turn now
and criticise his appontees and the
record they have made in the depart
menfs over which he placed them
The mayors selection lor city physi-
clan comes in for his share of condem-
nation. There is an increased death
rate to be charged against him, says
the Republican organ, edited, owned,
controlled and endorsed by the men
who wrote and signed the non-partisan
address, who nominated John Clark and
worked for has election. Mayor Clark
appointed the city physician.

interfering with the city engineers

sisan disguise TWO years ago has put

Of which the mayor placed him with
the full consent and approval of the
Tribune.
It is really too bad that the mayors
appointments, made at the request of
the gentlemen now engaged in finding
fault. ceased to be satisfactory after
the Hanna party was reorganized in
this city. Mayor Clark should learn
TO tie to more constant friends. Just
as was predicted in the fail of 1897. the
-srysr-1artisan organization has vanished,
its prime movers, who are responsible
for the mayor and his appointees are
now their most merciless critics and
nobody wants to bear any responsible
ity for the movement.

READ THE RECORD AGAIN.

Mayor Clark is receiving. a beating
over Democratic shoulders these days.
Whenever the mayors official figures
and statements are quoted, contrasting
the present administration with the
gloomy state of affairs while the Re-
publicans were in power, the Repul :
lfcan organ comes out with something
like this:
The Herald overworks matters as a
rule 1t delights in picfuring the I'M
paralleled waste. recklessness and eX-
fravagance of the last Republican city
government but after all can show only
a saving of SIS 364 II for the first year of
the rest that ii claims came through in
creased taxation.
The fact that there has been no in
creased taxation doesn't affect our
neighbor in the least. What does it
care for facts? 1t wants Ezra elected,
and il ISN'T particular about the meth
ods employed.
The. fact is that the saving to the
taxpayers OF this city since the Repub-
lican administration was swept out is
at the rate OF $50. GOO per year. When
one considers that two years ago
Messrs. P H. Lannan, c. c. Goodwin,
]. z. Dooly, O. J. Salisbury, George a.
Lowe and John Henry Smith regarded
an Increase in taxation absolutely nee
essary to cover the eXtragance and
u-.sstesfulness of Republican officials. to
establish a sinking fun6 of 600 per
year. TO collect means for the ensuing
year because the money had been spent
in advance by Republican council
and mayor, Il sounds a little strange to
hear one of these gentlemen. ask: rs
$4,000 a year the best you can save?"
The Republican organ wants TO know

In 1867 the city was in Republican
l,alIsis: the income of the city was
more than consumed; revenues for the
