REWARD OF MERRITT.

What is General Merritt playing for?
Does he want the place SO well filled
now by General Miles? 1t would seem
so. No other explanation can be given
for his rather startling remark at that
Detroit banquet the other evening
It is reported that, in the course of
his after-dinner harangue, he alluded
tary the world has ever known"
The greatest jackass, no doubt, that
ever occupied so responsible a position.
But this is the first time the claim
has ever been made in public that AL
ger is competent, or that he has han
died his purchased place in the cabinet
with anything like even an apparent
comprehension of the scope or nature
of its duties in time of war.
If Merritt is counting administration
favor, and wants to be promoted over
Miles as Sampson was advanced over
Schley, he shows what he is willing to
go through and willing to do to gain
that which modest soldiers, under an
honest administration, would blush to
stoop to do.
1t is an evidence of bravery, certain
ly, to make such an astounding OBJ
servation in the face of the American
public, and were it displayed in a bet
ter cause, or for a nobler purpose. it
would stamp its author as a hero
worthy to rank with Hobson and Fun

ANOTHER KIND ENTIRELY.

1t was Henry Clay who said he would
rather be right than be president Our
morning contemporary would rather be
wrong than consistent. Not only do its
prophecies fail, but its contrarieties in
variably lead it into plumbers that a
child should know enough to avoid.
For example: Thursday morning The
Herald noted the approach of milder
weather. Our neishbor went out and
covered his strawberries. We question
if any other farmer" did so that night.
But the day dawned bright and clear,
the sun came out, the air was soft and
balmy, so was our neighbor. he uncov-
cred his Strawberries, the birds sang
and all the world was gay, including
our morning contemporary, which is
somewhat OF a sight whenever it at
tempts to get that way.
In speaking OF :gentle breezes." We
make no reference to the second hand
gales originating in the bellows of our
demonstrating friend across the way.
nor to the simoons by which it has
been patiently and persistenty trying
to blow the ashes of its dry rot into the
eyes Of eastern people.
The air of springtime, the breezes
that bring the promise of plenty. that
watt the hope Of harvest wealth to the
farmers of Utah, are not of our neigh
boris kind.

WATER AND POLITICS.

"Oh, this water business is all poll
tics, anyway"
When DR.. Keogh. the city physician
appointed by Mayor Clark. made that
remark to a council committee the
other evening, he demonstrated that he
had learned few things since his con-
nection with the present municipal ad-
ministration began.
When Councilman Patrick asked him
about the terrible state of Parley's
canyon. as described by certain mem
beers of the council, the doctor replied:
That's political talk, started by Rob-
ertson and Buckle"
Is it possible that of all men these
two should stoop to the manufacture
of political buncOmbe? Heaven forfend.
Buckle and Robertson? Impossiblel
This is Democratic administra-
tion,' cried Buckle, as soon as he could
recover his voice. He evidently forgot
the way his present hackers crowed
over Clarks election and the way his
organ rejoiced over the partial sue
cess that was really a decisive victory"
But DR.. Keogh doesn't forget it.
NO, it is not; it is non-partisan,"
declared he. land If you Republicans
make a move TO help the city you ex-
pect praise for it to be in every child's
mouth at election time"
And thus another incident is opened
which will not close until November.

SKATER AND SAMPSON.

The New York Sun makes itself ri
dicuious when it denies to Dewey and
gives to Shafter and Sampson the
credit for breaking SPANS power 10
make war with the United States.
What did Sampson do? What YES
sci did he sink? What fleet did he de-
stroy? What victory did he win?
True, il was the squadron over which
he was, by administration favoritism,
placed in command that annihilated
Cervera's armada; but Sampson WASH t
present when the battle took place.
AS well claim that Commander Nc
Kinley fought the battle of Manila, or
that Commodore Long destroyed Ger
vera's ships. as TO discredit the work
of Dewey in the one instance by IN
favorably comparing it with that per-
formed by Sampson; or to credit the
victory of Santiago TO an officer who
had withdrawn, placing Schley in tenn
porary command of the squadron.
Histories may be written to describe
Shafter as the great general of the
war. Anything is possible when wealth
and the administration join in making
such u decree. But those who know
the facts. the men at the front, the Of
fcers who dare to have and express an
opinion know better. Whatever Cen
eral Skater may have been or done
in the past, ne accomplished nothing
by his presence at Santiago. 1t was
a soldiers campaign. The men of the
fighting line did it. The officers of the
field directed their movements. The
staff was useless.
III and in bed most of the time. Gen
erai Shafter knew little of the country,
and less Of the movements of the
troops, until it was all over with. When
he finally ventured out, it was with
gout-swelled feet, encased in blankets
and gunnysacks. and a platform had
to be erected every time he mounted
and dismounted. Not that Shafter
hasn't been fighter, but that his day
for active service has long since
passed. His age and corpulence have
enforced his inactivity.
There was a time in the assault upon
Santiago when Shafter advised a re-
treat. which would have resulted in
disaster TO the American troops, but
General Wheeler and others dissuaded
him, after laboring with the gonty old
general for hours.
OF course, the administration is try
ing TO make heroes of Sampson and
Shafter; trying to divide the glory;

All that has been said of COMPARE
sons may be true, but, nevertheless. the
method seems Il natural one to follow.
The Spider and the Fly does not SUI
fer by comparison with The Devils
Auction" yet at the same time it has
sufficient sins and shortcomings of its
own. 1t also has some good points, and
one or two of these are the good points
of omission. For instance, there is no
trick scenery, very little consideration
is given to the story-just a mention
at the beginning and the end-and the
rest of the time is spent in singing,
dancing. etc. 1t is a sDeciality show,

one. and constituted a feature of the
performance. The drills and fancy
marches, however, were the strong
point of the show. and We're excellent.
Some pleasing choruses, quartettes,
etc, were also introduced. There were
two comedians, one of whom inter-
spersed the entertainment with local
hits galore, and was reminiscent OF
Frank Daniels. Both enjoyed them
selves immensely, apparently, although
the audience wasn't always in the Sc

ONE REMEDY FOR WAR.

Partial disarmament of European

subjects of an aggravating burden Of
taxation, but would be a benefit to aS-
ricultUral and industrial classes, the
extent of which cannot be easily COM

PASSING OF THE NoN-PARTISAN

Since the local Republican organ has
laid aside its mask of non-Dartisanism
and has begun to sneer at officials for
whose election or appointment it is
largely responsible, they are beginning
to realize the ruth of what The Her
aid told them a year and half ago
concerning that movement and its or
gau-in-chief.
If John T. Game believed then that
the organ that supported him was sin
cere, surely ne has been undeceived by
this time If Councilmen Romney and
Patrick believed in its professions of
unselfsh devotion to the city and the
taxpayer, they have been chewing the
cud OF reflection since. If Messrs. Cal
lister and Wallace were earnest sup
porters of its multitudinous schemes
during the early part of this municipal
administration, they are certainly peni-
tent now Just what Mayor Clark
thinks about il ali is of less importance
TO the public, for he was clay in the
hands of a bungling potter, who is will
ing to take the vessel moulded and
use ii as d cuspidor.
And when any of these gentlemen
conclude to go back a year and a half
through the files of The Herald to. see
what this paper thought of them when
they were following the false light the
Republican organ held before them,
they will doubtless concur in the opin
IONS they considered harsh at that time.
At least they may turn for solace to
