FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The newspaper whose unqualified en-
dorsement of the Republican city ticket
is depended upon to secure its election
denies that Mayor Clark is responsible
for financial conditions in this city. 1t
says: 1--WE insist that honors shall be
bestowed where they belong and that
the off-colored reputation which the
majority of the city council have so
abundantly earned shall not be be-
slowed upon Mayor Clark
Very good. It holds President Barnes
and his co-workers in the council" al
together responsible. We shall not
quarrel with the Republican organ over
this responsibility. But what have
President Barnes and his co-Workers in
the council done? Let Mayor Clark an
swer He is an authority our neighbor
will hardly dare to contradict.
In his annual message Mayor Clark
says:
1T is a matter of congratulation to
note that while the. receipts from all
sources of the city's revenue show an
increase of S44, S31.01 over that of 1897
(when the Republican party was in
control of the city,, the total expendi-
lures eunder Democratic CONTROL were
$16.364. SO less than those of that year
(the year Republicans were in the ma
jority in the counciD, making net
gain to the city of 6O.695S4."
The mayor says that President
Barnes and his co-workers in the coun-
ell succeeded in saving to the taxPay-
ers of Salt Lake City s6O,695.94 the first
year after the Republicans were swept
out of power. Moreover, he recognizes
in his message the good work of tie
council in effecting this saving.
What have our Republican friends to
say OF this? Is this gain what dis
pleases them? Doubtless the taxpayers
would be glad to know.

simply malicious fault-finding and has
no foundation in either sense or fact
This man here seems 10 assume that
the negro race IS a poor, oppressed. cfllin-
like race that must always be helped and
never criticised. That Is not the way the
world goes
So far as The Herald IS concerned it
has made no appeal for the colored
vote Their blind allegiance to the Re
publican party for so many years and
their ability to swallow such doses
from Republican journals while they
march Up to the polls and cast the
ballot that he's enthroned Republican
presidents and governors in these
United States fer thirty years is not
calculated to impress Democrats that
they deserve anything better than
they get while showing no more in
dependence than they have shown
heretofore
The issue is between Colonel Lannan
and Editor Taylor. The Herald is
simply a spectator. But a fair idea of
the methods of intimidation employed
by Republicans to keep the colored
voter in line may be obtained from
the following combustion of an edi-
torial in yesterdays Republican organ
It says:
our belief is that the colored race as
a rule understand this matter thor
oughly, and that when one of them votes
q Democratic ticket, it is pIima facie
evidence that ne sold out to do it.
1t likewise shows with what con-
tempt their party organ. regards the
colored element and the pretensions of
colored men and women TO political in
dependence. To quote Ezra's journal
istic champion further the colored
voter is under obligations to vote the
Republican ticket TO the end of time
and to shout for Hanna on account of
Lincoln. 1t says: Our private judg-
ment is that the Republican party does
not owe the colored men very much.
1t save them their freedom"
In other words, the Republican party
considers them its slaves because it
gave them freedom. This paradox will
do for a campaign cry for Republican
stumpers.

PRAIsING THE SOLDIERS.


'qThe Herald still insists that it is all
right TO denounce the war and at The
same time praise the soldiers for their
heroic lighting in that war" So says
our goldbug contemporary
This quotation contains the usual
percentage of misrepresentation and an
unusual amount of truth. The Herald
is in favor OF giving the soldiers, not
only credit for heroic fighting, but all
the credit that accrues from the war
with Spain. Handicapped by incom-
petents placed over them, exposed to
a greater foe than the Spaniards-the
indifference of the administration and
che avarice of contractors-the soldiers
won a signal victory. In spite of the
strategy board, in spite of Eagan, in
spite Of Alger and the syndicate at the
head of the government, the soldiers
fought The war to a successful conclu-
sion. Nor do we recall an instance OF
that war being denounced by a Demo-
crat, although the conduct of it and
the "inbeciles and knaves" who man
aged it were roundly excoriated every
day in the editorial columns of our
morning contemporary.
So it is with the Philippine insurrec-
ton. The soldiers have done heroic
fighting, and deserve great credit for
their heroism and their sacrifices But
cable connection with Manila has been
re-established The ''imbeciles and
knaves" are still in Washington, with
the single exception of Alger, and there
are hundreds of newspapers in the
United States criticising the conduct
OF the Philippine campaign almost as
severely as our neighbor criticised the
administration on its war record prior
to the widely known editors trip to
Washington last April. 1t isn't the
war that is denounced, but the desul-
tory manner in which it is carried on,
and the unsatisfactory results which
have been obtained.
No Democrat wants the army with
drawn until order has been restored
in the archipelago. No Democrat has
advocated retreat Atkinson is not a
Democrat; neither is Lsoaghlin; neither
is Hoar, Hale nor Pettigrew. But DEM
ocrats demand to know why the people
are persistently and deliberately deceiv-
ed by a censorship, why something
hasn't been done to end the sanguinary
conflict, why it requires an army twice
as large as was needed to whip Spain
with all her modern equipments scat
tered over two hemispheres, and why
it has taken three times as long to do
what has been done with one of sixty
tribes Of south sea islanders, as it
took to drive a European power from

WATER AND POLITICS.

Whatever right Laanson has to the
waters Of the Jordan he acquired be-
fore the present city council entered
upon the discharge of its duties.
II 1897 he carried on a corespon-
dence with the council claiming the
rights he still asserts. The Republican
council did nothing to secure the rights
OF the city. The present council has
taken measures to protect the interests
Of the city.
Besides looking after this unfinished
or neglected business of its predecessor
the present council allowed and appro-
priateJ over $4,000 for the extension
OF the City Creek system under the per-
sonai supervision of the city engineer.
But three eminent Republicans brought
an injunction suit on a legal technical
ity and prevented the work from being
done this summer.
Still the city has not suffered as much
IN the past season because of a scarcity
OF water as it used 20 when the Repub-
licans were in full control of municipal
affairs

Advices from Washington say that
the administration authorities are
alarmed at the unanimity with which
labor unions all over the United States
have denounced the maintenance of
federal troops in northern Idaho Tor
the purpose of enforcing that despotic
rule against the employment of union
miners. in witness whereof the COVER
nor has been told to guard the region
with state troops that the regulars may
be withdrawn at once. 1t was most
unreasonable discrimination against
members of the miners union. on a par
with the indiscriminate denunciation of
all the delegates to the miners conven-
ton which appeared in the editorial
columns of the local Republican organ
at the time the western federation met
in this city last summer. The admins
tration has discovered its mistake in
the enforcement of the ediet with fed
eral troops, and it is now in order for
the newspaper that accused the mem
bers of the organization of being thugs,
dynamiters and murderers at heart to
take it all back and apologize.
