Harry Morrison. Ross Malone, Mody

the meeting and Chas. Whiteman, Sc
cretary. Each member expressed
himself as desirous that the organi-
cation be not changed in any way
until the return of Chief Parsons.
and that John Kelly act as Chief un-
til that time. 1t was also the desire
of the meeting that Engineer Glover

$4,000 per month, the department
guaranteeing to raise the additional
SIS. Engineer Glover expressed him.
self as satisfied with this arrange

ci met in special session last even
ing at 1880 at the Mayors office to
further consider the fire question.
Mayor Hinkle presided and all the
members were present except Par

in before the meeting adjourned.
The session was short, harmonious.
and seemingly satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
The Mayor placed before the Coun-
ell the letter of declination from Har-
old Hnrd. and the recommendation
of the Fire Department, both OF

Mayor power to appoint the Fire
Chief. the same as other appointive
officers, and the council has the pow
er of confirmation or rejection as it
sees fit.
In accordance with the law, and
the recommendation of the Fire De-
partment, Mayor Hinkle formally, ap-
pointed John Kelly Fire Chief, until
Mr.. r. M. Parsons should return. The
Council at once went into executive
session and unanimously confirmed
the appointment.
The Council re-convened. but there
being no farther business adjourned,
having been In session but little more
than half an hour.

evidently one of the former German
liners recently purchased by Russia.
The cruiser bore down upon the Ma

cruiser proceeded.
Che Foo, Aug. 9.-From a source

opinion that the firing heard last
light was an encounter between a
detachment of belligerent war ships

steamers which entered this morning

GENERAL FRED d. GRANTS haste
" to make impossible misinterpre-
tation Of his remarks about the presi-
dency and the president Of the Unit
ed States at a st. Patrick's Day BAN
quet in Chicago indicates that the fear
of immediate retrfbution was strongly
before him. General Grant says he
went to the banquet unprepared 10
make a talk, that he found he was
down to respond to the toast, THE
President of the United States and
that he was greatly embarrassed there
at because he is no speaker.
He fears that. while stumbling along.
as he was compelled 10 do, he might
have said something that might be
construed by evil minded persons as
a reflection on the great and good
Roosevelt. This because he told the
banqueters that the experiences Of
some officers who had talked made It
impossible for any other officers TO
talk about the president. Note that
General Grant says it is against the
regulations for any military officer TO
discuss the president or any civil Of
ficer.
Nevertheless he does discuss the
president in his latest statement He
goes so far as 10 say that he has "a
personal attachment for him which
viii never grow less, and anything that
would be said TO indicate that 1 was
not his warmest and most devoted ad-
mirer would do a wrong TO my per-
soual feeling for the present chief
magistrate of the United States.
Could sycophaney go further than
that? whyH Jacob A. Riis himself
couldn't have gushed more over .Roose-
Welt. General Grant has given US an
Interpretation of the army regulations
that we should be grateful for. He
says, almost in so many words, that
if army officers cannot slop over with
fulsOEle, silly praise of the chief ex
ecutive they should remain silent. And
that is probably the Roosevelt inter
probation also.
Discussion OF the president means
criticism of the president. apparently.
We have never heard that any officer
was censured for telling an audience
that Roosevelt is the greatest and best
president the nation has ever had. And
some of us would have more respect
for Mr.. Roosevelt if he would cut of
the compliments as well as the criti-
cisms

POLITICS AND POSITIONS.

ID PRACTICALLY ALL of the new city
officials have taken charge Of their
places in the municipal government.
Naturally there is much concern among
the minor employees as 10 what is to
become Of them. a great many seem
70 take it for granted that they viii
be discharged because they are Re
publicans and that Democrats viii be
selected to fill their places. The Her
aid hopes the new department heads
will move slowly i'm this respect. A
minor employee who is competent and
faithful should not lose his position
merely for political reasons.
Ii is but fair that heads of depart
ments be permitted to install their
own selections in the more important
places under them. because they are
responsible for the conduct of the de-
partments. But The Herald sees no
good reason why a stenOgrapher, a
draughtsman. a clerk, a third or fourth
deputy, a fireman or policeman
should be discharged on account Of
his politics Efficient service cannot
be secured when employees know that
their tenure of Office depends entirely
apon their ability TO perform political
service.
We are glad to endorse the straight
out declaration of Fire Chief Bywater
on this subject Chief Bywater has
gone on record as saying he viii have
no politics in his department. IF I
thought that politics would control me
i'm the affairs of this department" said
he, L would go back to the 4. c. NJ.
]. and oil the engine. We must
pull together for the benefit of this
department and the welfare of the
city" That talk has the true ring.
1t means that If the fremen do their
duty they need have no fear of losing
their positions. But if The Herald
could control the matter It would dis
charge every man who goes around TO
his friends in the council and else
where seeking to bring pressure to
bear on Chief Bywater to retain him.
The suspicion that he is not doing
his full duty must inevitably attach
TO the man who uses his political
friends as weights to hold him in place.
The man who cannot hold on through
the force of his individual merit does
not deserve TO hold on. And the man
who has time to run around seeing the
politicians doesn't have time to do his
work properly. He should be given an
abundance of time in which to talk
politics.
To these friendly remarks The Her
aid desires to add little advice to
the new department heads. The pub
lie eye is upon you, gentlemen. II
you prove unworthy Of your trusts the
public viii not be long in discov-
ering your unwOrthiness, and as sure
as night is night and day IS day you
viii regret the moment you decided to
accept the responsibilities you have
shouldered. Salt Lake expects every
one Of its servants 10 do his duty. We
believe every one of you will measure
up to the highest standard OF efficiency
and we do not want to be compelled
to change our opinion.

THE WAR IN OHIO.

THE REPUBLICAN road in Ohio is
L extremely rocky these days. Two
conventions to nominate candidates for
congress and delegates to the national
convention have been held thus far,
and two splits have resulted. The
Dick men have bolted Foraker. and
the Foraker men have bolted Dick, the
latter being referred to, strangely
enough, by the Associated Press. as
''Fnipinos' We have always under
stood the word "Filipinos" TO mean
people who are "agin the government"
Now the Foraker men are distinctly
for the government.
The basis of the fight IN Ohio is pat
ronage. Since the death Of Senator
Hanna Senator Foraker has absolutely
controlled the federal patronage in
Ohio. He controlled the larger part
OF IL before Senator Hanna died and
since the accession of Roosevelt. The
Dick people are anxious to secure some
sections Of the pie. They refuse to
be happy until they get il, and the
indications are that the war is TO be
carried into every Ohio district.
The struggle is one upon which the
Democrats can afford to look with
perfect equanimity. 1t will not make
the slightest difference to them wheth-
er Senator Dick or Senator Foraker
apportions the Ohio offices. What does
made a difference is that If the Re-
publicans insist on nominating two
candidates for congress In every dis
trict, some of the Democratic nomi-
nees are certain TO be elected, "a con-
summation devoutly TO be hoped for
earnestly to be desired" We need
some Democratic congressman from
Ohio.
As far as the Republican presiden-
tial nomination is concerned the re-
suit viii not be affected whether the
Dick or the Foraker delegates are
seated. Both sets are being instructed
to vote for the nomination Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The fight may make
a great deal Of difference. in the result
Of the election. The Dick men are not
at all friendly to President Roosevelt
They viii vote to nominate him simply
because nobody else has chance e
land the nomination.

vention they may go nome with knive:
