merly splendidly lucrative when the
Sheriff received the fees, is now, Win
the same fees in effect and TO be paid
into the public treasury, n heavy bur
den upon the treasury. At the rats
the Office is now administered, and
the ratio that tho public treasury Is
bled TO support it, none but rich man
could have taken the Sheriff s office
in the former days; but the fact is,
that those who took it became rich,
lust as the present incumbent Is doing
though the taxpayer suffers from the
process.
The Recordersbip also, formerly
richly paying office, is now made
drag on the treasury. And with Few
exceptions the rule of grab prevails
all along the line, from the petty graft
of the Commissioners IN their 'ex-
pense'' accounts, TO the larger deals
in connection with the public property,
an instance of which is seen IN the
purchase of an alleged new site For
the County Inhrmary, which IS and
was wholly upsuited for such purpose,
but when the county offered the land
for sale, was found TO be in demand
only at about half the price paid
for il.
The rule Of graft, grab, incompe-
tence, and betrayal of the public is
getting in its perfect work, adverse TO
the public and in contempt of the tax
payers, and this pervades all the
county administration, with exceptions
conspicuous by rarity. 1t is malad-
ministration that will never cease save
with the ousting of the incompetents
and betrayers of the people, and that
custer can come mono too soon, in the
interest of the public. And it must
never be forgotten, that the deputy
CRATER is not bit more promising as
successor 10 his chief, than would be
the retention Of the chief himself.

LESSON IN HYPOCRISY.

The Democratic party in Utah has
learned lesson from the Mormon
church.
According to the chief orator Of De
mocracy there is no church influence
in politics, and therefore it. is neces-
sary for the Democratic party TO de-
plore and oppose the existing use of
church influence in politics in Utah.
Thus the. Democratic party catches
them coming, and thus the Democratic
party catches them going. BY saying
that there is no church influence the
favor of the hierarchs and the devo-
tiou of many Of their followers arc
gained for the local Democratic party.
BY reprehending church influence and
declaiming against it the Democracy
secures the support of those men who
feel that reform is necessary in Utah,
and who prefer to see that reform at
tanned by National party.
But there is another lesson that the
Democracy seems not to have been able
TO acquire, In 1895 that party recon
vened its convention and its leaders
proposed a strong, ringing address TO
the people (written by Judge Powers)
which should take high ground against
the interference of ecclesiastical au-
thority with the due conduct of politi-
cal matters IN this State; and after ac-
knowledging all the reason for making
such a declaration the reconveued con-
vention refused to adopt it and uttered
lot of vapidity-abstract platitudes-
which might have been adopted any
where, by any party, at any time, with
out either help or hurt. And the De-
mocracy went into the campaign with
its three most brilliant men as candi-
dates, Moses Thatcher, Joseph J.. Raw
Inns and Brigham il. Roberts-and the
Democracy fell between two stools For,
instead of catching them going and
catching them coming, it lost them both
ways.
And so the Democracy this year,
while 1T may have learned the lesson Of
hypocrisy from the church, has ignored
the teachings of its own experience and
is likely TO lose its Mormon vote
through its appearance of complaint
against the church, and is likely to lose
its Gentle and independent vote (what
little there is in the Democratic party)
by It's fragrant and conscienceless de-
Tense and denial of the iniquities Of
church interference
So far as President Brigham II, Rob-
erts was authorized TO represent the
prescnt-day Democratic idea in Utah,
in his Saltair speech, and so far as that
idea may be accepted by his followers,
it amounts solely to this: The church
is not in politics; and the church must
get out of politics immediately

GUST THE GANG!

The Smoot Republican machine ap-
pears TO be satisfied with the present
ring control OF the administrative af
fairs Of this county, So much so, that
it is proposed 10 renomiuate all the
church favoritcs and continue that
same old control But wherein is the
public benefited, and what does the
sentiment against third term amount
to, If the same old gang remains in
office? To let out the chief and put in
the deputy, changes no policy, corrects
no abuse, rcctifcs no wrong,
When Board of Commissioners,
comprising three persons, arc so ignor-
not figure up the difference in favor
of the county, between 4B per cent
interest and I1a per cent, in the re-
funding of $35o,0O0 twcuty-year bonds,
awarding the purchase TO the higher
bid and thus wronging the taxpayers
out of $27 900, 1T is surely time to
throw out such board: to keep two
of its members in Office is an insult
to the public intelligence. And it must
not be forgotten that this is the board
that was responsible for Jones as keep
er of the infrmary. and the scandals
and outrages, not TO say crimes, that
were perpetrated under his manage
