ANOTHER FOE IN AMBUSH.

It is encouraging to learn that Gen.
eral Otis expects to conquer the Fill
ipinos shortly. Decisive battles have
less influence, however, on savages or
people unaccustomed to civilized war
fare than they have on more apprecia-
1--WE and rational soldiers.
and it is the least bit disheartening
10 note that the scene of the recent
battles is within a few miles Of. Manila.
The insurgents have not been driven so
far, after all; and when they take to
the swamps, unless captured or eXter-
minated in the meantime, it may be
matter of months or even years to dis
lodge them or render them incapable Of
constantly harassing the settlements.
But the prayers of every true and
loyal citizen of this republic will go UP
for the success of its soldiers on the
Philippines and an early victory for
American arms. Now that the fight is
on. it is no time to argue its expedi-
ency or discuss it's morality.
A greater danger than the brass
tipped bullets or the poisoned arrows

ADJUSTMENTS.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
public of Salt Lake has a full week to
procure tickets for the James Kidder-
Warde engagement, there was a long
line on hand hours before the box office
opened yesterday morning, and the lob.
by was crowded with purchasers all
day.
1t was a, regular old-time rush, and
there is absolutely no doubt that this
engagement will be the most brilliant
of the season. The demand for seats
for The School for Scandal showed
the wisdom of giving this bill four times
during the week.

ANOTHER CASE.


The Tribune prints a list of non
partisans appointed by Mayor Clark.
Besides the non-partisans, one Demo-
crat was named-Dr. Keogh, the only
one of the mayors appointees not iden-
titled with the non-partisan movement.
But what have these officials to do
with the new fire and police law passed
a month since'2 They were appointed
over year ago. Why drag them into
this discussion?
The fact under consideration is sim
ply this: BY an act of the last legis-
lautre the fire and police departments
of Salt Lake City are to be reorganized
The mayor will appoint a chief of each
department. 1t is naturally expected
that one Republican and one Democrat
will be named. But in any event, even
If Mayor Clark concludes to ask a Dem
ocratic council to confirm two Republi-
cans, his honor should select men who
are not political sleuths and private
grudge-workers, for the police depart
ment has suffered enough from this sort
of business. and the people have paid
too much for the experience already.

the swamps and thickets Of Luzon. The
sickly season is almost due, with its
malaria, its broiling sun. its sultry
heat, its miasnlic fog rising from the
marshes. laden with death and disease.
1t is to be hoped the Filipinos will be
conquered before that time.
The rainy season begins in April and
by the middle of May the sun is at its
zenith, remaining near this position till
September. A Manila letter to the St
Louis Globe Democrat points out that
"a large increase in fevers may be
expected, and even cholera is to be
feared The latter disease made fearful
ravages in the Spanish army at that
season two years ago, and old residents
predict that we win have a siege of it
unless we change our habits. drink less.
eat less heavy food, remain out of the
sun more, battle oftener and wear
cleaner underclothing, all of which are
faults too common among the men.
Typhoid fever, also, is to be feared, as
we'll as the chronic diarrhoea, which is
disabling more Of our men than any
other cause If the policy of sending
sick men home, especially those suffer-
ing from the last-named trouble, is con-
tinued, death will be cheated out of
many a victim in the Philippines.
Nearly all the Spanish sick have been
sent home, and the remaining soldiers
look in far better condition than when
they surrendered. They were never SO
well fed nor so comfortable as they are
now"
Almost 5000 deaths have been caused
already by incompetent attention from
the war department, inadequate sup
plies and filthy food. If Alger and
Eagan are permitted to send to Manila
embalmed and putrid meats as they
did to Porto Rico and Cuba, there will
be terrible mortality among the
troops this summer The effects of eat
ing the beef that Alger defends and the
administration has supplied is to bring
on symptoms strangely similar to those
of Asiatic cholera. And right in the
Z ancient home of this dread disease a
little encouragement from the war de-
partment would start a scourge that
might wipe our army off the face of the
earth in a little while
Therefore, let us hope that General
Otis is right, and that a complete and
final victory for American arms on the
Philippines is in sight

ANXIOUS FOR PRATT.

Our morning contemporary anxiety
TO have Pratt retained as chief of police
has reached the point Of frenzy. It's
piteous appeals to city councils and
state legislatures to leave him alone
have echoed and re-echoed through
these hills for several years. And there
by hangs a tale.
In litigation the Tribune and Pratt
are first cousins. In political schemes
they are as much alike as twin broth
ers. Pratt makes himself useful to the
Tribune and it has use for him. But
how long do the taxpayers of Salt Lake
City purpose to maintain a political
machine in the guise of a police depart
ment? There ought to be some relief
for the public from the support of a
secret service bureau run in the interest
of woulG-be bipartisan boss.
Our morning contemporary announced
during the last municipal campaign
that Clark, if elected mayor, would not
name Arthur Pratt chief of police. That
was another trick Of our INSCRIPTIONS
contemporary to disarm a too credulous
public. 1t succeeded. The people be-
Iieved, elected Clark, and Pratt was
appointed.
Two state legislatures have tried to
Dust him, but by hook or crook he has
held on TO his position and hopes to
finish out the period OF his existence,
as il has been taken up so far, in pub
lie Office.
Our morning contemporary whines
and raves alternately every time Pratts
life tenure seems to be in jeopardy. 1t
is determined to keep him and his rela-
tions in Office the balance Of their days
if the council can be bulldozed or the
mayor cajoled into appointing him.
There is more than a public interest
in all this solicitude. No one can have
watched the course Of our morning con-
temporary long without making UP his
mind that the public welfare is of little
moment with it.
Just now it is taken up with Pratt
and his chances. 1t has become careless
in it's leadership of Young Utah. It has
almost forgotten its war upon Roberts.
1t prostrates itself at the feet of Mayor
Clark as if its fight on polygamy had
ceased with the division on party lines.
Cur morning contemporary has other
fish to fry today.

THOSE UNEARNED DOLLARS.

The court records show that Arthur
Pratt, as chief of police has cost the
city many an unearned dollar Mr.
Pratt's organ says this is not true. Be
tween the docket and the Tribune, most
people will believe the former
The numerous salaries Pratt has re-
covered from the taxpayers of Salt
Lake City for time unemployed in the
service of the city, for time spent in
looking after other matters while Chief
Paul and Acting Chiefs Eslinger and
Rhoades were discharging the duties of
the Office, are matters Of record.
In the face of it, however, the Trib-
une says:
The second specification is that dur
ing this Indulgence of his fad, Chief
Pratt has cost the city Of Salt Lake
many an unearned dollar The answer
to that is that ii is not true; that it has
within it no element of truth
It says this in the face of the
court record; and the city council rec
ords show that Arthur Pratt has been
receiving S25 per month from the city
more lIIdIl lI4e SeiidIS VI u4uoAnOS say =
he is entitled TO receive.
That salary ordinance has been i'll eff
feet more than a var. 1t is operative
against all other officials. But Pratt,
the court fiend, the man who is always
threatening to, sue if he is crossed,
would not allow 'non-partisan econ
omy'' TO be pTacticed upon him, so he
insists upon 1,SO0 per annum, although
the city says he is entitled to but $500.
And his organ claims he has not cost
the city many an unearned dollar.

NO WORK REQUIRED.
To the Editor of The Herald.

To the Editor of The Herald:
Manning, March 25.-Will you kindly
answer the following: If a claim were
located any time in January and the
required $50 worth of work to be done
in ninety days was not done, would
that claim be forfeited at the expira-
ton of the ninety days? Or does the
new law give the year and the fraction,
as usual: that is, does the new law
cover all of this year and exempt the
$50 worth of work?
No location work required since
ninety days preceding the time the new
law goes into effect. The law went into
effect March l, and does away abso-
lutely with all location work except
that required by United States. Pros
pectors had all of ninety days to do
work in, so in this case none is required,
and claim is not forfeited.

in the line of civilized warfare. Refer
