RETURN OF urAH's REGULARS

All Of the Utah volunteers who served
in the regular regiments sent to Manila
will be home soon. A few of them are
already here. They have done as hard
service, seen as many hardships and
shown as much patriotism as the men
of the batteries, whose return was
hailed with such enthusiasm and
warmth of welcome. The batterymen
were presented with their railroad fares
from San Francisco. they were enter
tanned and shown every attention that
pride in their achievements and appre-
citation of their sacrifices could suggest.
1t would seem only just and proper
that the Utah men who lost their iden-
tity in the regulars and so were de-
prived of their share Of the home-com-
ing festivities, should at least have the
benefit of the fund still held by the
committee to the extent of having their
railroad fare returned to them.
Some of these men come back with
small means and in poor health. Few
of them have positions awaiting them
All of them viii have to take up the
thread of life anew and work hard to
re-establish themselves as wage-earn-
ers. The Herald hopes the committee
holding the public subscription funds in
trust for the volunteers will pay these
returned soldiers the amount of their
railroad fare and show them all the
kindness that grateful state would
like to see extended to them.

vAGARlES OF A NElGHBoR

The Tribune says it is all right for
President Mckinley to make a treaty
with the sultan of sSuiu recognizing his
local civil government, but that Merritt
was right in ignoring the Tagal gov
eminent and refusing to recognize as
aaies those who aided Dewey at his
request.
The organ of the rising storm sees
nothing immoral OF. improper in the ac-
ton of President Mckinley pledging
the protection of the national flag to
10000 poIygamists in the Philippine ar
chipelago Yet its doleful howls over
a vanishing practice in Utah echo
among the hills from early morn till
late at night.
1t says that polygamy exists among
certain tribes of Indians and that there
fore the president is right in recognize
ing and permitting ii in Sulu and Min
danao. An excellent reason, to be sure.
But there is slavery in the Philip
pines, and the practice Of holding men
and women in bondage is permitted
and protected by the government OF the
United States according to the terms
of this treaty with the sultan of Sulu.
Is this one of the blessings of conquest
we have added to our national domain?
If il were not for its tragic and vicious
features this policy of forcible expan-
sion would be laughable. 1t is a grim
humor that appears in the absurd po-
sition Of imperialists

THE WINNING TICKET.

The Democratic city ticket is made
ur. It bears the names of representa-
tive men. substantial citizens. conserv-
alive business men, It was selected
from the rank and file of the party,
i from among the masses, and it rep
n resents the various elements of the
party, the diversified interests Of the
city it is a good ticket and deserves
tbs hearty support OF the public.
From start to finish it was a walk
away for Barnes; his nomination was
a foregone conclusion from the day his
candidacy was announced and the I'M
animity with which he was chosen TO
head the ticket oceasioued no surprise.
He Is a faithful Democrat, a conscien-
tious public official, a solid business
man ana, if elected, win make a cap
able. careful and credftable mayor. His
experience as president Of the city
council VIII be of use in the discharge
OF the duties OF the important position
10 which he aspires.
Recorder Backman has made splen-
did record which entities him to the
favorable consideration OF voters. He
is a popular and painstaking official,
whose denomination was certainly de-
served
Treasurer Morris is one of the best
the city ever had. His vigilance in the
interest of the taxpayers may have
made him some enemies, but it has
saved thousands of dollars TO the city,
Something voters viii do well to keep
in mind. The treasurer's office was
never in better shape than it is today
and fidelity and industry like this
should not go unrewarded.
Police Judge Timmony has demon
j strated that he is eminently the man
for tie place and his reelection will
show that the public appreciates the
fact.
6. 3. Blakely, nominated for the posi-
ton OF city auditor, is a splendid
choice. He is well qualified and gener-
! ally liked OF his integrity and ability
there can be nc question raised.
The nomination of Frank B. Stephens
for city attorney is a strong one. He
is a wei known citizen, a prominent
lawyer. a silver man who cut loose
from the Hanna crowd when silver Re
publicans organized TO stand for prin-
ciple in Utah, a principle to which he
is still loyal while the organization has
been disbanded through the treachery
and double dealing of a political boss.
The councilmanic ticket has already
been approved by The Herald. Every
candidate is a true blue believer in the
4 Chicago platform and the mission of
the Democratic party. The ticket stands
for Democratic principles-good gov
ernment, economy in the administra-
ton OF public affairs, the employment
OF home labor in the construction of
public works. tax reduction, public
ownership Of public utilities public i'm
provements, a lowering of water rates
and g, business administration.
The ticket is a clean one, through
and through. There are strong men
and good men upon it 1t is d winner
and no mistake.

DoNzELMANN TO THE RESCUE.

Consul Donzelmann, representing
Cheyenne and incidentally the United
States at Prague, had chance to show
his royal American authority and west
ern grit not long ago. A Chicago man
named Smid was seized with a foolish
desire TO see his birthplace, Kutten-
berg, in Bohemia, after prospecting in
the atmosphere of pork-packers and
wheat corners. and so he went. The
gates of his native city were opened to
Smid and closed upon him. The civil
and military authorities turned out to
welcome him and so overjoyed were
they at his return that they locked him
up to prevent his departure 1t was
claimed that Smid had left Austria
without having performed military
duty, and, in spite of the fact that he
was an American citizen with a pass
port, he was sentenced to pay fine
and serve a term of imprisonment.
Consul Donzelmann heard of it. He
straightway buekled on his six-shooters,
mounted his mustang and set out on a
lope for Kuttenburg, where, it is pre-
sumed, he shot UP the town somewhat
and secured Smid's unconditional sur
render. To reassure the emperor he
sent word TO Vienna that Chicago men
were immune from arrest, and that
Smid had shaken the dust of his native
land off his feet at the early age of II,
and was therefore exempt, under the
treaty of 1870, from military impress
ment
The emperor discreetly ordered Smid's
immediate release and the crisis was
passed. Donzelmann charitably re-
Trained from wiping out the town Of
Kuttenberg and Smid is still wandering
amid the scenes of his childhood while
the authorities break for tall timber
whenever they hear the sound of ap-
proacing hoof-beats.

plains of Wyoming is furnished by
zephyrs so emphatic that he seldom

Health officer Keogh opines that the
dust is responsible for the increase in
the number of scarlet fever cases in the
city. 1t is generally surmised that a
fair percentage of this dust is on the
city physicians official desk. While
the clerical force of the office is doubt
less competent, it would seem from the
many reports and complaints heard
during the past few months that the
business of the department had been
left almost entirely to subordinates.
This might account for some of the in
crease referred to.
