THE MERIT SYSTEM.

Gates had left the regular army in 1890.

frozen having been well fried. lie took
with him nothing but an Oakcn c0nstitu-
ton ana 20 knowledge of the plains and
the best wishes of his fell0w-0fhcer-. The
Standard OH Company differs from tho
United States Government in chat 10 un-
doretands the value OF the loyal and inc
tcligent services of good men and is ale
most certain TO reward them ar the eN-
pense OF incapable men.
This curious practice emauafes from
no benoGccnt emotion OF the Stand
ara OH Company ON whose feel
inrs YOU could not make o. scar
with a. hammer and chisel it is simply
that the Standard OH Company knows
more than the United states Government
and makes use Of virtue whenever virtue
S. TO its ADVANTAGE
The above is not taken from polu-
cal essay 1t is the Introduction so 81
story by Stephen Crane. but st is not
fiction It is 81 good. everyday fact, and
81 cannot be disputed. The merit system
does not prevail in politics. it too often
happens that offices go by favors, and
chat men are selected for Office by virtue
OF their political pun. and not because
of their ability or fitness. Civil service
reform has grown, but the politicians
have fought its progress every inch OF
the way. President cleveland started I'm
nanfully 10 extend the civil service list
and to enforce the rules. but even Grover
cleveland had TO yield every now and
then 10 tho political pressure.
But there is no sentiment in business.
Corporations are souUess There is no
ouu with them. save the pull Of merit
The man who can best promote the in-
tcrests OF the corporation. ne IS the man
whom they want. and they win pay the
WAGES that are necessary TO capture and
keen him. u IS said that there IS ro
c,mpetition since the trusts came, but
Won watch the valuable man. the man
whom the trusts want. and see how they
win bid for his services. There is always
competition among corporations for the
best men on the market and this makes
the best men come high.
MT Crane lets the secret ont when he
saws that the trusts do not pay big prices
for good men from benehcent emotion
but because they make use Of virtue
whenever virtue is TO their advantage
That means in trusts circles the merit
system prevails.

MOENIo\INM.

Apart from the question Of polygamy
brigham Roberts. Congressman-elect
from Utah. represents one Of the most
dangerous sects in this country. The
Mormons do not believe in the great prin-
clples or Republican government. They
believe that Mormanlsm is the true gov
eminent. that iii is an order Of govern
ment established by Divine authority
that it is the only legal government that
can exist I'm any part of the universe
that an other governments are Illegal
and unauthorized, that any people at

OF their own making and by officers Of
their own appointment are in direct re-
benion against the kingdom Of God"
This was the doctrine taught by Joseph
smith, and while the Mormans Of to-day
are not so bold in their public declara-
lions, IN their heart OF hearts they be-
lieye IN that doctrine and 80 believing
they cannot be loyal TO The United States
government

upon any platform the Democracy OF The
country might formulate in the interest
Of tho party and the people. Our Frank
lin contemporary IS q free-silyer paper
and has been and IS an ardent supporter
OF Mr. Bryan. il is indeed a concession
when that paper goes 50 FAR as TO say
that il would support Daniel on any plat
form that the party might formulate.
The Spirit Of the Valley IS a Republi-
can paper. yet st too has some kind things
10 say about Major Daniel in this connec-
ton. IT does not believe that any Demo
crat can be elected President Of the
United states in 1900. but eraciously adds
that many men have occupied the Pres
identlal chair who did not approach John
Daniel on intellectual forces" No Viz
rinia Democrat las had a more distin-
euishod compliment than this from Re
publican newspaper, and the Spirit OF mo
Valley ia not in the habit Of bestowinG
compliments for form sake.
The Chesapeake Waterman, one Of the
best edited Of all our Virginia exchange,
reproduces from the Kansas City Journal
the article in which Senator Daniers cam
didacy was first suggested. and without
any IFS or ands SECONDS tho motion q
the Kansas fusionists." The Waterman
says that It has a very high appreciation
Of Colonel william J. Bryan and admires
him for his wonderful power or oratory
and his many virtues, but that IT'S solicit
tude for the success Of the Democratic
party "outwelghs its admiration for Mr.
Bryans matchless personality" The
Waterman feels that "as long as the
Democratic party allows Mr. Bryan to
brandish his silver lance as the main wca-
pom in an onslaught on the Republican
phalanx. 50 long will 10 meet with crush
ing defeat 1t believes that the time has
come for the Democratic party to break
away from Bryan and It declares that It
would gladly John w. Daniel for the
Presidency.
on the other hand, some Of our contem-
poraries are more timid, and insist that
the time has not come 10 nominate a
Southern man for the Presidency. They
say that the mere fact that Major Daniel
was Confederate officer would Jose for
him every Northern state. We do not
believe it. We believe that the great body
Of the Northern Democrats would infinite
ly prefer Daniel 10 Bryan and that if
uauio were nominated on sound Demo-
cratic platform he would receive the cor
dial support Of the North. We feel cone
ndent that John W. Daniel can tomorrow
pol more votes in the state Of New York
and can como nearer carrying that state
in "a residential election than William
j. Bryan We do not believe that from
the standpoint Of the Northern people
to-day It is anything against Major
Daniel that he was a gallant Confederate
soldier
BUT. however that may he. Major Daniel
SAYS that he would rather be an cold
Conred" than be President That's why
We want to see him I'm the White House.

Major Daniel must be very much graft
rcd at the kind things most of the Viz
einia papers are saying about him in con
neotion with tie proposal 10 nominate
him for tie Presidency.
The Franklin Times Democrat sees I'm
Senator Daniel elements Of peculiar
strength, fitness. greater ability and pop
ulariiy than any man IN the Democratic
party, n not IN the nation" and goes so
Tar as TO say that IL would prefer Sena-
tor Daniel 10 any candidate the Democrats
might put up. ana would support him

hymn which was sung in the Mormon
church on July o. 1899:
Awake. We defenders Of Zion!
The foes at the door Of your homes!

Remember the wrongs Of Missouri!
Forget not the fate Of Nauvoo!

Shall we tamcly submit 10 the foe,

Dr. Hepworth saws that the Mormons

that while they make a show Of political
