Recorder Fogarty of New Orleans is

where it is clear that the accused CON-
nitted the violation knowingly and de-
lberately. The Times Democrat Sc
verely rebukes this astounding exhibi.
ton of neutrality-suspicious., and thede-
nunciation is well deserved, inasmuch
as no petty judge has the right to sub
stitute his own ideas and opinions for
the letter of the laws which his duty is
to enforce as he finds them; but it may
be said in extenuation of Recorder Fo-
garty 3 hallucination that he is greater
than the law, that he has some notable
examples in this direction concerning
which the Times Democrathashad little

RaiIroads Penetrating New Regions.

To the network OF railways spread
ing through heretofore inaccessible
parts OF the old south has been added
the line just opened from Arnaudville
TO Port Barre, La. This is an extern
sion of the ArnaudVille branch diverg.
ing $50 miles west of New Orleans
from Morgan's Louisiana and Texas
Railroad, controlled by the Southern
Pacific Company
Marked Industrial progress will be
made possible by the coming Of new
railroads into this region. Port Barre,
twelve miles up the fertile Teche val
ley from Arnaudville, was formerly a
transhipping point at which supplies
for the country extending fifty miles to
the westward were delivered by steam
boats running on Bayou Cortableau.
OK teams hauled the goods across
muddy prairies to the settlements as
far west as the Mermentau river. At
present navigation is closed on the
Cortableau, but will be opened by the
removal of distractions at the mouth
of the stream, and then the railroads
usefulness will be increased
Ninety-six miles from New Orleans
another new extension of Morgan's
Louisiana and Texas Railroad
branches off from Bayou Sale station
to South Bend, six miles from the
Gulf of Mexico. This branch will af-
ford transportation facilities for the
large cane growing and sugar manu-
featuring interests along the Sale.
Heretofore these interests have de-
pended upon desultory steamboat
service. Wagons handled the ''pas-
senger traffic. and supplies. A big
area Of valuable land beyond the
terminus of the Bayou Sale extension,
heretofore useless on account OF its
isolation, will be opened up for cult
walton by the new line.

FALSE AND MEAN PARTIsANsH1P.

We are at loss TO understand what
the Herald expects to gain by Its silly
falsehood that city warrants are at
discount of FIVE to ten per cent. They
are not at anv discount at all, and
have not been at any time during the
American city administration, There Is
not a bit of excuse for the publication
of any such foolish lies, unless, indeed,
the Herald is in partnership with some
money shaver and wishes TO dclude
some unwary holders OF warrants INTO
dlsposing OF them at discount, when
they have no need to do so.
This effort TO discredit the city and
to make the world outside believe that
it is in a crippled condition financially
that il is at The end Of its resources.
that it's credit is gone, and that its ruin
is straight ahead, is one Of the most
vicious and contemplate falsifcatlons
of the situation here that could possibly
be imagined There is not the slight
est excuse for it. The city S warrants
have al no time been at discount
they are received at par by all the
banks, and command par everywhere.
The only possible halt that can he
fairly urged in the progress of this city
is that. created by the partisan, un-
called. for and restrictive legislation
passed by the Smoot ring in the late
Legislature, which requires an amount
of red tape and Of costly preparation in
the case of public improvements that
was never known before in this city,
and that is entirely unnecessary. The
only possible thing that the Legislature
could fairly do in that matter was to
stop the ancient practice Of requiring
property owners to put up their money
for public improvements on the engl-
neer's estimates in place OF withhold
ing the payments until the contract is
let; this latter being the fair business
like way to do things. But the Legls-
lature did not stop at that; 1t went on
and required that there should be sep
arate handling and separate contract
for every piece OF property included
within given area of Improvement
This for a time paralyzed all effort and
hlndered IDe letlluP OIL CoHlld'IS hNh
public work. The City Council, how
ever, has now overcome the difficulty,
by the aid of the City Attorney, and a
form of contract, in compliance with
the law, has been adopted which prom
ises we'll for the progress of needed i'm
provements here that have been adver-
tised and formally ordered.
Whateyer the malevolencc of party
politics may require, it certainly is no
part of any form of decent politics to
malign, misrepresent and decry The
standing Of the city and inJure lis
progress and good name. The Herald
is distinctly doing this, and the other
opposition papers are helping 1T TO the
best of their ability. If they think that
this is good partisan politics, however,
| they are liable to a rude awakening
and to a tearing away, in manner at
once sudden and unpleasant, OF the veil
of obscurity which prevents their eyes
seeing the true relation of business, OF
sense, and of partisan politics.

would dare to oppose il publicly IN any
Mormon meeting or before any Mormon
audience today. Still, the assertion
that he has been the consistent cham
piou of monognmy and opponent OF
polygamy in Utah is what gave nm
the votes that retained him in his seat
in the Senate: that is, if We except the
political pressure brought to bear from
the White House IN his favor. ASIDE
from that political pressure, undoubted'
" his strong suit was the claim that
he had been outspoken in denouncIng

defiance Of law, Of decency, and of the
public interest which permeates the gen
eral political system is certain to attach
to every branch OF the public service

Fillmore postofice is the only one

rupt politics that govern in Utah by
the favor of President Roosevelt The
persons whom he appoints to oihce are
more calculated to assure corruption and
rascality in office than purity and good
service.
Whatever proofs Mr.. Kinney may
have as 10 his allegations may or may
NOT be sufficient to establish what he
is quoted as saying, but certainly the
corruption of hierarchic politics IN Utah
is sufficient to justify almost any sort
of charge of villainy and crime, and
il is hard to put one s finger upon any
| spot connected with that criminal ad
ministration that is free from ta1nt.

THE CORRUPT POSTAL SERVICE.

The Rev. Bruce Kinney, SAID TO be
minister of the gospel with a good deal
Of knowledge of Utah affairs, is quoted
in n Washington dispatch as saying
that there are only seventy-hve post
offices in Utah where man can re-
ceive mail matter bearing the return
mark Of a Christian publishing house.
Another version of the dispatch seems
to be, that in seventy-fye per cent of
the postofiices in Utah such matter
would not be properly handled or de"
livered Upon this rather indefinite
statement attributed to the Rev. Mr..
Kinney, the News howls in It's usual
style of blackguardly abuse and vicious
insinuation.
Now, we do not know Mr.. Kinney at
all. We do not know what means he
has Of verifying the statement that he
made. whatever it was, and do not
know, indeed, that he made any state
ment at all with regard to this matter;
still, the dispatches report him as MAX
ing it. We should be glad to see the
proof he has TO offer in support of what
he actually did say on this matter. 1t
is a pretty bad aspcrslon upon Utah
postmasters to make the statement IN
the broad form in which 1t is reported.
And while we do not In the least back
the News in its vituperation and scoun-
drelly abuse, we think that if Mr.. Kin
ney went to the length of saying that
there are only seventy-dve postofhces In
Utah where such mail would be prop
erly handled, the statement was proba-
bly, an exaggeration.
At the same time, that there'is some
thing rotten in the postal service IN
Utah is perfectly evident. Complaints
of the bad service in Salt Lake are fire.

THE NATIONAL EIsTEDDFoD.

The appointment of committees by
the Cambrian Society Of this city to
arrange for a National Eisteddfod, TO
be held in Salt Lake in October of next
year, is good news to the music lovers
Of the intermountain region. In fact,
it Will be of great interest to musicians
all over the United States.
These competitive conventions are of
venerably-ancient origin They were
instituted for the promotion of art,
and they have borne mighty part in
the worlds advancement IN the par"
ticular branches inculcated. 1t Is dif-
ticult to say accurately when these
bardic congresses were first instituted
in Wales; but there is record that in the
latter part Of the fourth century, Owain
ap Maxen Wlcdig established the
Eisteddfod almost in Its present form.
He was elected TO the chief sovereignty
of the Britons upon the departure Of
the Romans from Britain. 1t was in
his time that the laws and usages of
the bardic and musical competitive fes-
tivais were remodeled and codited into
the shape which they have practically
retained ever since. Then it was, too,
that the motto of the Eistoddfod,
''Y gwyr yn erbyn y byd" (rhe truth
against the world). was adopted. So 1T
may be seen that the institution is a
very old one, and has survived through
the well known devotion of the Welsh
people to their national institutions
! In Wales the Eisteddfod is d national
