plete confidence in the political integ-
rity of either of them.
But Mr.. Jerome had no evidence that
Senator Plat had sold him out" He
had received information that Senator
Platt had gone to the office OF MT
Whitney, and that was sufficient IN
his opinion, to justify the charge which
he made He knew that the puohc
would be quick to believe 1t. 1t must
be rather CALLING to the Senator to
know that his reputation for political
integrity is so bad.
But what was the errand that called
the Senator to Mr.. Whitney's ONCE?
One statement is that the big New York
CORPORATIONS divide their campaign
contributions between the opposing po-
litical parties, and that the Senator
went to Mr.. Whitney's office to receive
for the fusion party the contributions
of the corporations of which Mr..
Whitney is the head. The explanation
appears to be reasonable, and doubtless
is the correct one.
1t seems a little strange that Demo-
Gratis should contribute to the Repub-
Ican campaign fund and Republicans
to the Democratic campaign fund, but
corporations are conducted on business
principles even where politics is con-
cerned. They want to be in position
to ask favors whichever party is in
power.
The municipal campaign in New York
is of general interest, because that city
is the metropolis of the country, be-
cause Tammany has a national repu-
tation. and because so many people
from every section visit New York. A
sensational political incident in the
municipal campaign of that city there
fore has almost as much general inter-
est as a sensational incident in a Pres
idential campaign.

His One Good Point.

A st. Louis city statesman died, says
the Post Dispatch.
He was on the ragged edge before
he passed away, and his friends were
few
That is the usual finish.
Still, those who gathered around his
grave at the end tried to do the best
under the circumstances.
But try as they would, none of them
could think of anything good to say.
And yet, like many other municipal
statesmen, he hadn't done nothin'.
He was an awful booze fighter"
said one.
He beat his wife" said another.
HE never paid his debts" said a
third.

fourth.

THE FAIR.

The State Fair this year is going to
be the greatest in the history of the
state. That seems TO be admitted by
everybody who is acquainted with the
fact in regard to 1t. The number and
variety OF exhibits will far exceed ex-
pectations which We're entertained
when work on the Fair began. and.
as has been stated. the exhibitions on
the race track promise 10 exceed any
thing ever before seen In the state. The

greater than was originally provided
for with good weather the Fair viii

WHAT WILL BE ITS FATEr

The bill providing for biennial ses-
sions of the Legislature has been re-
ported favorably, but that does not
mean that it will be passed. We have
no doubt that the Governor would
take pleasure in signing it, but it is
a safe assertion that extraordinary ct
forts will be made to prevent it from
reaching him.
The number of bills which have been
introduced this session is large, and no
doubt there will be many others. Each
duce at least one bill, so that his con-
stituents may know that he is doing
something, and there are members who
introduce anywhere from FIVE to
twenty bills. When a session is over
it is found that of the bills that have
have been of sufficient Importance to
attract general attention. Days and
weeks are wasted, at a heavy cost to
taxpayers, in discussing bills OF little
or no Importance.
We have always contended and still
contend, that the state would be better
off, from any point of view, IL the
Legislature met only once in two
years, and 1t is certain that a very
large amount of money would be saw
ed--money that at this time is greatly
needed for other purposes. With a pen
sion roll that will soon call for some
thing like $1,OO0,0OO a year the politi-
clans ought to be willing to forego the
privilege of meeting at the state cap
ital every year to make political states

The cable reports respecting Miss
Stone, the missionary held for ransom
by Bulgarian bandits, afford very lit
tie information and no satisfaction.
One day they are hopeful, saying Miss
Stone is alive and wen, and the next
they hold out no hope at all, saying
she is dead or likely to be killed at
any moment. 1t is almost impossible
to get a trustworthy report out Of the
realm of the Sultan Of Turkey. When
one reads a dispatch from London, or
Berlin. or Paris one is sure there is
some dependence to be placed on what
it says; but when the dispatch is from
Constantinople, there is no telling
whether it is true or not

Hon. ]. Pope Brown feels that he has
been sighted in the matter Of the in
vitations TO the Governor and Legisla-
ture TO visit the State Fair, and may
not be present on the opening day in
consequence, are not only silly, but do
injustice to Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Brown
is too big a man to take any notice
of the picayunish reasons" that have
been advanced to support the alleged
slight" He knows that there was not
a solitary member of the committee
that would for a single instant have
countenanced anything savoring of dis
courtesy to him. Nor has Mr.. Brown
ever said anything to indicate that he
felt sighted. AS we have said, he is
too big a man for any such business.
The whole story is no doubt based in
pessimism and a desire to stir up
strife.

coMMERcrAL1sM IN POLITICS.

In his article on "Commercialism in
! Politics" in the current number of the
Independent. Controller Coler of New
York explains the system of using
public offices and political power for
! private gain" which he declares has
been so perfected during the past ten
/ years in the larger cities and states of
! the Union" AS matter of fact. how
ever, is the system confined to the
larger cities? Is it not to be found in
pretty nearly all cities? Would it not
be a rather difficult matter to name a
city, large or small, in which there are
not some indications of the system to
which Mr.. Coler calls attention?
1t is true, of course, that there are
cities in which there is so little of the
system that 1t attracts no attention,
while in others it is so apparent that
it is the subject of very general COM
ment. 1t is but natural, OF course
that those in Office should favor their
friends, but they should not favor them
at the expense of the taxpayers. The
complaint of taxpayers in cities, how
ever. is not Of legitimate favors to
friends, but of the use of political
power and influence to make money at
the cost of taxpayers.
There are ways of making contracts
for the hundred and one things a city
must have by which the city pays more
than it ought to for what it gets. There
are purchases made in which there is
a big margin of profit for the off,
Gals making them. There are offices
created for which there is no need and
salaries paid which are out of all pro-
portion to the value of the services
rendered. Indeed, it would be easy to
enumerate many ways in which Off
Gals manage to get their hands into
the public treasury without making
themselves liable to prosecution.
It may be that there are cities in
which municipal affairs are managed
with the same zeal and economy as
merchant shows in the management of
his private business, and with the same
fidelity to the public interests as he
shows for his own. but it is doubtful
if the number of them is large.
And the harm that commercial poll
tics inflicts upon a community is suffi-
GENTLY great to be alarming to those
who give the matter careful consider
alton. On this point Mr.. Coler says:
There is a moral danger in this spirit
of arrogant contempt for official hon
esty that is more to be feared than the
constantly increasing expenses of pro-
viding from taxation the profits of
commercialism in politics."
1t is fact, of course that the more
common this commercialism becomes
the lower the standard of political hon.
esty falls. The people permit them
selves to be robbed with little show of
resistance. 1t is only when the burden
become too heavy to be borne with
comfort or municipal bankruptcy is
threatened that there is vigorous pro-
test and an effort at reform is made.
The only hope for thoroughly honest
municipal government is in a public
sentiment that insists upon publicity in
public affairs, and that will not toler-
ate expenditures for which the public
does not receive a fair consideration.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
THE appointment of Frank I. Osborne
| of Charlotte, N. c., to a seat in the
court of private land claims, shows
that late events have not changed the
Presidents mind as to the kind of men
he should select to serve the country,
in the important judicial and other
places. Osborne was a Gold Demo-
crat in 1896, and probably voted for
Mckinley. He is good lawyer, enjoys
the complete confidence of all the peo-
pie of his state. He will give a good
account of himself in the station
where the President has placed him.
Mr.. Osborne has been attorney general
of North Carolina. and held other re-
sponsible positions. This sort of ap-
pointments, as a steady thing, is some
thing quite new. The country is no less
curious about ii that II is surprised and

$3.50, 900 worth of cables from an Ameri-
can company for the equipment of its

doing this, for the reason that they

here than they can in Great Britain.

prominent position in the minds of the
people. The greater probabilities of
active service due to the unsettled con-
ditions in our new possessions indicate
that there will be more frequent
changes in the service than formerly
and greater opportunities for distinct

Congress adds considerably to the

DIR. ILIFF's SUCCESSOR.

Rev. John Luther Lellch, OF Lewis
burg, Pa, is the successor Of DR.. lliif,
as superintendent Of the Utah Metho-
dist mission. The gentleman Is a
stranger in these parts, but we hope
his sojourn here viii be pleasant and
that he may be able to accomplish some
good. There Is. IN Utah as elsewhere,
plenty OF room for earnest, conscen-
tious laborers in the cause OF morality
and benevolence.
The great mistake OF sectarlan teach
ers who come to Utah-Dr. Hin not ex-
cepted-is that they come here with the
preconcelved idea that the majority Of
the people are ignorant, deluded fanat-
les est-ridden and otherwise degrad-
ed. and that their own superior intelll-
gence, their flowing eloquence their
polish, ought at once TO cause, as IL
were. the sun and the moon to stand
stlll. and the stars TO bow in humble
admiration. Then, when they find a
people trained 60 think for themselves;
accustomed TO the eloquence that Is
born Of a firm conviction OF the truth
when they find In that majority, united,
free and devout worshippers Of God;
their attitude IS often changed to one
OF hostility Then no means to gain an
end seem desplcable to them, And so
it has happened that confessed preach
ers Of the gospel instead Of looking for
that which Il lost have become SLAM
derers and prosecutors, They have
Identified themselves with all sorts Of
political schemes and agtations. to at
tract attention and to make money
II "a well known that preachers of
various denominations lnwardly often
feel jealousy, and worse toward one an
other. But outwardly they maintain a
certain decorum. But In their attitude
toward the "Mormons' they DO not even
deem this outward appearance neces-
sary. This whole community ia, in
their opinion 49, az the PharIsees
