cLARK's VIEWS AND FIGURES.

Republicans are quite gushing in
their adulation of Mayor Clark, but
they want change of administration,
they say, because the Democrats con-
troll the city council.
The reason Republicans are displeased
with the Democratic council is that the
ward heelers have been shut out and
100000 has been saved to the taxpayers
of the city on that account.
Republicans commend the honesty of
Mayor Clark Then let us hear from
the mayor concerning the record of-the
present city council. In his annual
message the mayor 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 $44, 1.01 over that of 1897,
the total expenditures were SS
less than those Of that year, making a
net gain to the city Of $50, 1884
In other words, the very first year
after the voters of Salt Lake City threw
the Republican council out there was,
under u Democratic council. a gain of
$44, 33l.01 over the revenues collected by
the Republican council in the year 1897.
At the same time there was a decrease
of SIC, 364.SS in expenditures, making a
net gain Of SEQ, 1884 to the city the
first year the Democrats We're in the
majority, and the gain will be even
larger at the end of the present year.
This isn't due to the council alto
gether, but to the Democratic treasurer,
whose vigilance, industry and care pre-
sent a pleasing contrast to the record
OF his Republican predecessor.
The mayor says further in his mes
sage: while making acknowledgement
TO the city council for its full share of
the excellent work that has been done,
wish to earnestly recommend q con-
tinuance of the same careful, painstak-
ing, economical, yet progressive, policy
that has governed during the past
year"
If the mayor is the honest man and
intelligent official our Republican
friends concede that he is, why should
MT they take his word upon municipal
matters2 If his word is good, why
should Republicans want to get back
into power? To spend that 100000 per
year that the city failed to get when
the mayor, council, treasurer and all
We're i'll full control of the city's bust
ness? Is this the reason?

EZRA'S PETTY POLITICIANS.

1t was a scurvv trick two of Ezra
Thompson's henchmen played upon the
retail clerks of this city the other even
ing. They were attending a social at
the Ladies' Literary club house when
one of Ezra's rubbers, with character
istic notions of propriety, undertook to
turn the social gathering into a politi-
cal meeting
Some time ago an ordinance was in
troduced in the city council prohibiting
the opening of certain stores on sun
day. 1t passed and among those who
voted for it was Arthur Barnes, presi-
dent of the council. Before the result
was announced it was decided to inves-
tigate the legality of the measure. City
Attorney Hall declared that it could not
be enforced if passed, and deeming it
unwise to enact Illegal or Intellectual
ordinances. the vote was reconsidered
and the resolution was killed. Presi-
dent Barnes only voted against the
measure when the opinion of the city
attorney was rendered against it.
1t was a motion to work against
Barnes because of this that Ezra's
hostlers made and seconded. No one
knew what was going on, every one
was enjoying himself and thinking of
anything but politics, no one looked
for such an evidence of ill-breeding at
a social, and so the motion was passed
without paying any attention to it.
Contemplate work of this kind seems
to be the stock in trade of the infiu-
ences behind the local Republican
ticket The Hanna crowd is willing to
disrupt any organization, to scandalize
any social gathering, it seems, to play
horse with the retail clerks if possible
to gain a very questionable advantage
for the Republican candidate. If the
Retail Clerks association doesn't resent
this attempt to make their organization

SENATOR HoAR'S OPINION,

Senator Hoar comes back from
Europe with no change OF opinion on
the Philippine question" says the New
York Tribune. AS Senator Hoar is one
Of the founders of the Republican party
ana a patriot of the Lincoln type who
does not believe that the republic has
outgrown its constitution, it may be of
interest TO repeat his declaration of
opinion on the question of Philippine
retention. He is unguestionably right
when he says that there are no consti-
tutional powers in the United States
government except those expressly
granted or implied, and 10 power
can be implied, unless it is neoes-
sary to the accomplishment OF some
purpose of the constitution. Senator
Hoar states his position as follows:
The power to conquer alien peoples and
hold them in subsection is nowhere ex-
presSly granted
The power to conquer alien peoples and
hold them in subsection is nowhere i'm
piled as necessary for the accomplishment
0f the purposes declared by the consttu-
ton.
II is clearly shown to'be one that ought
not 10 be exercised by anybody-one that
The trainers OF the constitution thought
ought not to be exercised by anybody.
First-Because IL is immoral and wicked
IN itself.
Second-Because it is expressly denied
in the declaration Of independence, the
great Interpreter and eXpounded of the
meaning OF the constitution, which owes
its origin to the same generation and
largely to the same men
Third-It is affirmed that it is immoral
and unfit 10 be exercised by anybody-in
numerous instances by contemporary
state constitutions and the contemporary
writers and authors on public law who
EXPRESSED the opinion of the American
people in that generation who adopted the
constitution as well as of the men who
framed It.
Ne sane man who knows aught of
American history will contend that the
makers of the federal constitution ever
dreamed of such thing as giving the
United States the power of foIcible
annexation of alien peoples. There can
be no pretense that any such power
was contemplated by anybody, because
it is repugnant to all American senti-
ment
As Mr. Mckinley, before ne heard
from Prompter Mark, stated it:
IT speak not of forcible annexation
because that is not to be thought of,
and under our code of morality that
would be criminal aggression"
But the president has changed his
mind. it seems. He evidently sees the
point the syndieate at the head of
affairs" has been gazing at intently for
some time-that there is an abundance
OF cheap labor on those islands which
syndicates may utilize in their cheap
ening Of production at the expense of
the American worl1ingman. So the con-
stitution is thrown to the winds and
the personal interests of the controlling
syndicate. the presidents hackers, the
sinister aggregation of cold looded

DOES 1T REFUSE TO ANSWER?

Yesterday our goldbug contemporary
published an elaborate editorial in de-
Tense of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Nc
Kinley and their attitude towards
Cuba, and said: when Mr.. Mckinley
became president he continued the
work Of Mr. Cleveland, trying in
every reasonable and possible way to
secure peace for the island with as
tiee"
This is our neighbours answer to the
following questions:
l. Were not President Mckinley,
Mark Hanna, Tom Platt and the
whole cowardly gang at the head of
the nation afraid of war? And was
not the republic disgraced by the atti-
tude Of this Republican administration
towards Spain?
.. Were not the men in control of the
government and those responsible for
the conduct of the war with Spain
''senile dotards, imbeciles, thieves,
rascals and enemies to the welfare OF
the country up to the time our morn
ing contemporary discovered that sill
yer had been eliminated from. the liv-
ing issues of national politics?
3. Is it not fact that the pro-
fessed patriots who manipulate the
president to their personal advantage
and at the expense of the republic, :"
who filled his cabinet with million
aires for obvious reasons" never were
the friends of the soldier they pre-
tended for twenty-five years that they
were?"
1t is no answer to these questions to
attempt to cover up McKinley's record
with Cleveland's views. AS a matter
of fact the Republican organ has
answered every one of these inter
rogatories in the affirmative. Will it
deny the assertion and challenge the
proof? If not why does it persist in
its hypocritical cant about loyalty and
allegiance to the administration? Are
the south sea islanders il any posi-
ton to make any better use of such
comment than was European power
surrounded with symparhizers all over
continental Europe? Why should men
be entitled to denounce the president
and his advisers as "imbeciles and
rascals" in time of war with a civilized
nation when it is treason to criticise the
course of the same authorities in time
of war with a tribe of semi savages in
the Chinese waters? Is patriotism a
mere matter of whim, that a dis
gruntled Republican organ can say
what it pleases until it receives a. re-
ward for changing it's tune, and that
others are estopped from exercising the
same privilege when it's own humor is
changed? We should like to have an

Materials and Their Handling.
This is a matter supposed usually to
| be quite beyond the comprehension of
women. Yet every woman can in a
short time learn the difference between
good and bad mortar, between seasoned
and unseasuned wood. between WELL
laid courses of brick and the makeshift
which marks much of the cheap build
ing. She can learn also what cogrsti-
tutes a good cellar and good founda-
ton, and how a cellar floor should be
/ made, with the virtue of cement and
the value of smooth cellar walls. These
are all phases of home sanitation, and
honest materials honestly put together
are an equal part of it. Cracking walls.
settling and uneven floors, baSeboards
shrinking away and doors sasging are
due either TO lack of knowledge or lack
of honesty on the builders part. We
are a. hasty people and lliln-dry our
wood, with no Thought of the conse-
quence. And we are welded to wood
when all about is another material
more beautiful, more durable and in
many places less costly. Common
'rubble," the loose stone of the neigh
borhood, put together with good NOR
tar and a course of brick here and
there, over windows, doors. etc. as fin
ish. win make a, house beautiful to
look at, beloved of all climbing vines,
/ and picturesque under all conditions.
Or there may be story of rubble and
brick and the upper portion finished in
wood. But architects-the thinking
ones-urge more and more the adoption
of stone and brick and give models
within even very narrow means.
Practically this is in great part in
cluded in the heading Materials" But
| there is another point seldom thought
of in the matter of ffirnsy or substan-
tial structure, and that is the educa-
tional effect of honest Workmanship,
whether in house or its finish and fur
nishing. The day for gingerbread
work in house finish the cheap and
most unbeautiful production of the
jigsaw, is fast passing. Sanitation is
teaching us that smooth surfaces are
not only more heaithful, since they
give no Judgment to bacteria, but are
also more beautiful VeneerS, save
where wood is of so costly an order
that it must be so used or not at all,
are also out of date. But we still put
cheap finish whenever we can, cover
ing half-mixed mortar in walls with
gay papers, and making all out of
sight construction of the poorest quail
ity of wood. Our public buildings share
often the same fate, because the sort
of conscience that would not admit
poor construction is not yet part of our
teaching. These things are to be a
necessity when we are little wiser,
in all education, and when that good
day GENES even our politicians viii have
been SO drilled in what constitutes
honest building that we shall have a
new order of homes and of public

VIEW OF AN AUTHORITY.

AS the Roberts case nears the final con-
test in the house of representatives, it be-
gins to look TO many as though it would
have been better for the people to have
taken Governor Wells advice and de-
feated Mr. Roberts at the polls. We were
OF that opinion at the time. The majority
or the people, however, saw the matter in
a. different light, and the light was al
lowed to go on 1t might have died out
by the resignation of the congressman
elect, but he is not so constituted as to
stop fight in that way. His case will
nave to go before congress We apprehend,
and with women of such national promi-
nence as Miss Gould fighting him. 1t is
clear what the politicians will do. Roberts
and the Democratic party will then have
gained an experience. even at a great
cost. But then. it always does cost the
people dearly to teach the Democratic
party anything.-Provo Enquirer.
Mr. Grahams editor is modest, in
deed. Mr.. Graham himself holds a fed
eral office. He is postmaster at Provo.
He was appointed by the Republican
president and confirmed by the Repub-
lican senate of the United States long
before Mr.. Roberts was even nomi-
mated for congress. Mr.. Graham is ac-
cused of being a polygamist. Why,
then, if a lesson We're needed, was not
Mr.. Graham selected? Unquestionably
the men who are now making warfare
on Congressman Roberts could with
the greatest ease have had Mr.. Ora
hams nomination rejected by the Re-
publican senate if they had so desired.
Then all the lesson the Enquirer seems
to believe is needed would have been
taught.
Possibly the Enquirer means that the
lesson to be taught is that none but
Republican polygamists are to be en-
dured in federal Office. 1t ought to be
good authority on that point.

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.

The Tribune repeated its oft-exploded
fabrication yesterday concerning
trusts and trust laws. Whenever it
gets in a tight place it always begins
to founder and tell how the Demo-
Gratis destroyed the only effective
trust law that was ever passed when
in power before, and the best of them
have not SO far presented any tangible
idea of legislation which will in the
least curtail trusts"
Whenever we ask our Republican
contemporary what antitrust law the
Democrats repealed, it shuts up like a
clam and refuses to be interviewed.
Whatever federal legislation against
the power and growth of the trust evil
has been enacted owes its existence
to Democratic votes and Democratic
support. No antitrust measure has
eveq, been curtailed in it's force or ef-
feet by Democrats, and we challenge
the record. Let US have the proofs or
an acknowledgment of error.
