SAMPLE PARTIsANsHIP.

Reuben S. CoHett has been appointed
postmaster at vernal. And thereby
hangs a tale.
The present incumbent, whom Collect
will succeed. is a Republican and an ap-
pointee Of the Mckinley administration
When he entered upon The discharge Of
his duties he retained as his assistant
a man who had been connected with the
Office for years; and, because of this
assistants knowledge of the business,
his honesty his capability and his
faithfuiness to the interests Of the gov
eminent, he has remained vsh the
postmaster ever since, Notwithstanding
the claim that he is a Democrat.
Vernal has a few Die-counter pa
triots. however. and one of them wanted
as assistants scalp. The postmaster
refused to suDplant him with an un-
tried and uncertain quantity, and the
matter was carried to the high court Of
Hanna. The result was the issuance of
a royal, ukase demanding that the
poSmaster should discharge the Dem
ocrat and put a Republican in his place.
This decree was unheeded. So long as
he was responsible, the postmaster pre-
ferred to have an assistant he could
trust. But the government is run on a
different plan at present, it seems. FL
deity. capabiIity, honesty, experience
these count for nothing with this ad-
ministfation compared with little pre-
cinct pull.
And so the story comes over the wires

CHINESE AS FIGHTERS.

The Chinese name of the Boxers is
''Yee-ho-chuan," a combination which
means, literally, the righteous promo
tion of harmony by the use of the fists.
"Yee" means righteousness; 'hO"
means harmony: "chuan" means fists.
and the whole signifies, in general
terms, a determination to get rid of
disturbing elements by knocking them
out. The name Boxers" was applied to
the members of the organization by
sailors who recognized them as the
fighting men of the yellow race.
The Boxer rebellion is but a contin-
uation of the troubles which have kept
China in a turmoil for a century, and a
repetition of the instructions which
have been a principal feature of Chi
nese history from the beginning. But
the present uprising is more important
than others of modern times because
Of the secret approval and assistance
it receives from the empress dOwager.
There is every reason to believe that
she not only encourages them in their
atrocities, but shields them from pun
ishment.
The people are all superstitiOus to an
absurd degree. Among other things,
the Boxers believe that when they have
drunk of each others blood they be-
come immortal and that no injury can
come to them from external sources.
To prove this, they he2k themselves up,
stick daggers into their arms, legs and
bodies, and tell the wondering outsider
that the torture is not painful.
1T has been noticed, says ex-Consul
Wtldman, that they are very careful
to avoid injury to any vital organ, but
cut themselves in fieshy parts of their
bodies aud reveI in passing among peO-
pie besmeared and begrimed with their
own blood" They do not believe that
their comrades are killed when cut
down, but have discarded the body in
order to fight more ferociously in the
spirit.
The purpose Of the fist fighters. -
who, unfortunately, do.not confine their
operations to bare knuckle exhibitions
of Righteousness, is to work up fren-
zied opposition to outside traders,
preachers and prospectors. who are
gradually getting control of the mar
kets, mines and politics of the realm.
1t is a final effort to arouse q sleeping
race to resent the entertainments of
modern civilization.
They are a curious people, these Mon
golians, with their legion of secret So
cieties and their countless superstitiOns.
And, while the civilized world looks
with contempt upon the Chinaman as a
soldier. it should be remembered that
he is a fanatic and capable, if aroused,
of great fortiJude and endurance. He
has little fear OF death or personal in
jury, and while he frequently runs
away, it is but to return to the fray.
and no matter how fast the Chinese are
killed of, they have a third of the
earth's population from which to draw
for reinforcements.
A war with China, with the entire ma
ton thoroughly aroused. would be no
/ Insignificant affair.

A GOOb SELECTION.

The selection OF Professor William J.
Kerr of Logan as president of the Ag-
riculturaI college, is one that ought TO
give general satisfaction to all who
have the welfare of the institution at
heart. He is a good citizen, a student
and a scholar, an educator and organ
izer of experience and ability, an ex-
ecutive officer of exceptional ability
and a gentleman in every way.
The opposition OF Apostle NJ. w.
Merrill was not unexpected, owing to
the fact that d protege Of MerriIPs was
also an applicant for the position.
Trustee MorreUs fight on Mr.. Kerr is
explained when it is known that Nor
reu is one of MerriIPs counselors as
president OF Cache stake. But his Bit
terness is inexcusable and his declara-
ton that Mr.. Kerr is 'eXtravagant and
a strife breeder is contradicted by
the annual vote Of Apostle Merrill, as
one of the Brigham Young college
trustees, to keep Mr.. Kerr at the head
If that institution.
Outside of a little clique headed by
the retiring president of the Agricul-
turaI college. and seconded by the ex-
trustee who desired to have his pro-
tege installed in Tanners place. the
selection of Professor Kerr will un-
doubtedIy. give excellent satisfaction,
and viii prove a credit and a benefit
to the college.

Our morning contemporary tries to
strike rp a relationship with John
Brisben Walker, who wants the silver
issue hidden in the coming campaign
for the purpose of stealing a march on
the goldbugs. It wants to know if
Walker is also a traitor to Bryan and
Organism. Nothing has occurred to
show that ne is. Whenever Mr.. Wal
ker goes over to Mark Hanna, as the
Tribune has, and gives support to the
goldbug organization it win be an act
of treache-v. AS to the relative i'm
portance of campaign issues there is a
wide diversity Of opinion. But when a
newspaper that opposed Philippine re-
tention suddenly flODs to imperialism,
when it ceases arraigning the thieves
and imbeciles at the head of our ma
tional affairs" and begins to defend
them, when it deserts Bryan for Nc

TRIPLES!

Our cars are no better-in themselves
than the cars of other lines. 1t is
what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance; The seats in our re-
clining chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-clean and cool. Our
dining cars have electric fans, and are
gorgeously decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometer, which the
porter constantly consults in order to
keep the temperature of his car as
nearly uniform as possible.
BY themselves, these things are tri-
fies, but the sum total of them goes a
long way toward making trip over
the Burlington mighty enjoyable ex-
perience.
Burlington trains leave Denver 4 and

LOCATING INDIAN SCHOOLS.

If experience with Indian schools, a
knowledge Of Indian peculiarities and
good judgment control in the selection
OF a site for the government school TO
be located ia southern Utah, the insti-
tuition win be a success from the start
and a great advantage to the red man.
If, however, the mistake is made that
located the Grand Junction school so
far from the abode of those expected to
patronize il. nothing further need be
done toward its establishment.
Indian schools should be located near
the homes Of the children to be taught
therein. When they are taken away
from their homes and parents the little
fellows consider themselves prisoners.
and their frame of mind is not in the
best condition to receive instruction.
The parents, too, are disconnected IN
der these circumstances, and encourage
rebellion and truancy among the chill
dren. AT every chance they get IN
dian students run away from the
Grand Junction school as they would
escape a prison, not because Of their
treatment, for Of that there can be no
just cause of complaint, but for the
simple reason that they are under re-
straint and foreibly prevented from
going to their people.
In Washington county, this state,
are fragments Of tribes of Shebits, XII
habits and Piutes, with Moapes just
across the Nevada line. They have
many children of school age in need Of
training. They live in a section small
enough to make good use of one school
if properly located.
The best interests of the Indians
rather than the wishes of those con-
nected with rival institutions should
be consulted in locating this school

''The truth about the Transvaal' has
been told by writer's on both sides of
the controversy. The Beers have told
it and the British have told it, Each
views the other with disfavor and sus-
picion- The only thing for an Ameri-
can citizen to do is to read both sides
and make up his mind as to the rela-
tive merits of the British demands and
Boer refusals. The only way for an
American newspaper to treat the mat
ter is from an American standpoint
and in the light of American expert
ence. Prejudice against the power
which twice tried to destroy this re-
public. once at the time of its birth
and again in thirty years, should not
cloud our judgment. Nor should those
who pretend to be American citizens,
although not yet weaned from the
mother country, be allowed to say what
is and what is not the true American
sentiment The works of Franklin,
Henry, Adams. Jefferson and Madison
are the best induces of Americanism.
