Facts Concerning Herring.

Some new facts concerning the her.
ring are contained in the scientific
section of the fishery board for Scot
land. According to a paper by DR..
Wemyss Fulton, certain theories as to
the growth and age of the fish which
have been accepted for the last quar-
ter of a century are not well found
ed. 1t now appears that the herring
is a fish of slow growth, and is barely
"a inches in length when one year
old. 1t does not reach maturity and
spawn until five years old, and is
then of an average length of ga
inches. Herrings over IL inches long,
like the large Loeb Tyne fish, may be
ten years old and more, and the large
specimens that are occasionally
caught, measuring from II to 10
inches, are probably over 10 years
old and may be 20. Investigations are
in progress to discover the reason for
the decline in the herring fishery of
Loeb Tyne in recent years. An inter
esting method which has been adopt
ed to trace the migrations of the fish
consists in marking some of them
while In the seine net with printed
silk tag and setting them free. Over
500 have been thus marked. but, so
far, only five have been caught again,
and these we're near the place OF lib

seldom has any great choice between
the opposing candidates. The RE.
PUBLICAN argues only for the nomina.
tion of strong and capable men on both
tickets.so that the lack Of choice need
not result disadvantageously to the
public, The Journals reference to
the comparative merit of the two tick
cts last fall Is unfortunate, for the
kindliest way in which II can be put is
that regardless Of any merit or de-
merit OF the democratic ticket, that
aggregation last fall was handicapped
by the kind OF fight put up for IT by the
democratic organ. That kind Of fight
would have killed any ticket, for it
challenged the honor and integrity
and civic loyalty Of every voter.
But THE REPUBLICAN has no dspo-
stion to discuss questions raised y
the democratic organ except as they
bear on the one idea in our own mind
at this time-the arousing Of the pub.
lie mind to the advisabllity Of exercis-
ing the greatest care possible in the
selection Of candidates for public office.
The fact that some man desires Office
does not prove his fitness for that OF.
fce, nor should the number of mans
relations count for most when 1t comes
to making a selection OF the various
candidates. Let the stronger men OF
each party emphasize this to those
who spend much of their time in max
ing party tickets.

THE BARRETT MATTER.

The democratic organ suggests that
THE REPUBLICAN should have assist
ed J. W. Barrett In his fight against
Lorenzo Benson couple Of years ago.
The suggestion is but another proof Of
the Journals ability to be very ride
ulous at times. Mr.. Barrett, while
city chairman, desired to become a
member OF the Board of Education.
Mr.. Benson aud Mr.. Bullen desired the
same thing The three went before
the primary and Mr.. Benson won out.
1t is the rule in all games, political,
social, religious, in war, in play, any
place and all the time, that the ma
jority rules, but Mr.. Barrett, at the
head of the city party organization
went out and fought Mr.. Benson at
the polls-and what for? Because Mr..
Benson was not qualified for the Office
to which ne aspired, because Mr.. Bar
rett thought himself or the demo-
cratic candidate more qualifiedp No!
In his own language, II was because
he thought Mr.. Benson had "held
Office long enough" This wasn't play
ing fair, 1t WASN'T square deal, and
THE REPUBLICAN so presented 1t 10
the public. No party organization
could stand fol such action on the
part of any Of its officials and Mr.. Bar
rett was removed from the head OF
the committee by a vote OF its men,
bers The Journal must admit that
our own and the committees attitude
was but justice The Journal must
also admit that IL was incorrect in its
statement that Mr. Barrett was ever
refused the columns Of THE REBUILT.
CAN for any defense he desired to max ,
or for any purpose Mr.. Barrett
readily admitted TO the editor of The
REPUBLICAN, In the presence Of Mr..
A. G., Lundstrom, Saturday morning
that he had never asked for any space
in THE REPUBLICAN, But will the
democratic organ be big enough to ad-
NIT its mistake in either instance?

FAILED TO WIN VOTES.
Great Speeches Have Not Always Had
Effect Desired.

In eloquence and point no other
speech in the whig convention in
Baltimore in 1852 even remotely ap-
preached the one which Rufus Choate
made for Webster, but Webster was
never a serious factor in the ballot
ing. In every one of the SO ballots
Fillmore and Scott had several times
as many votes as Webster, and Scott
carried off the candidacy. Robert G..
Ingersolrs "Plumed knight" speech,
in which he said, Like an armed
warrior like a plumed knight, James
G. Blaine marched down the halls Of
the American congress and threw his
shining lance full and fair against
the braZen forehead of every defamer
OF his country and maligner of its
honor" in the Cincinnati convention
Of 1876, gave Blaine sobriquet which
he carried to the end of his life, and
It made Ingersoll famous.
But Hayes and not Blaine won the
nomination. Conklings Appomatox
1880 in favor of Grant captivated the
country at the moment and swept
the convention of its feet" Except
the delegates). Garfield's in favor Of
Sherman in the same convention was
scarcely inferior to Conkling's in point
and power. Neither Grant nor Sher-
man received the nomination.
Garfields speech for Sherman help
ed Garfield to get the nomination him
self in the deadlock, although neither
he nor anybody else at the opening
of the convention had thought Of him
as possibility. When Bryan made
his "cross of gold" speech, which
stampeded the Chicago convention Of
1896, he'was not, ostensibly, talking
for himself. nor did anybody in the
convention think of him in connection
with the candidacy at the time he got
up there to speak. He entered that
convention as a member of contest
ing delegation and was unknown to
the country at the time, though he
had the presidential bee in his bon
net and was working for his own
nomination all the time that he was in
the onvention.-Leslie's Weekly.

LOGAN, BY CARRIER
A CHANGE NEEDED.

In twenty-five years enormous sums
of money have been spent on our
county roads, yet there are no good
roads in Cache county. What is the
natural inference? Nothing other
than that the men who spent the mon.
ey did not know how, or for some one
or the other reason, would not spend
the money to the best advantage.
That's self-evident fact is IL not?
Some one may interposc Ifs, ands and
butts, but the indisputable fact remains
that II the money spent had been
spent with the idea of build
ing any piece Of road for time
and eternity Cache would have at
least one good road today. AS it is,
the county's roads are worse tina n
those OF any county in the state except
poor old God.forsaken Emery, where
alkali lies two feet thick on the sur
face.
THE REPUBLICAN argues for the
nomination and election of men who
know how to build good roads and have
the courage to breast all sectional op-
position and build permanent road
here, there apa elsewhere as the finan-
ces permit. THE REPUBLICAN argues
for The nomination Of men who know
how to lay big plans, who know the
value Of system, who know how TO get
the worth OF their money, who know
how to build well rather than to make
a temporary showing in some locality
that votes may be gained for re-elec-
tion The Democratic party has been
derelict in this respect, the Republi-
can party, more on the alert, could
have done better.
THE REPUBLICAN is not unmindful
of the fact that credit is due for many
splendid things attempted and accom-
plished by past and present officials,
but let US awake to the needs OF the
situation and accomplish more. Let
the layman in both political parties
insist that men OF strong mentality,
strong individuality, strong purpose
and good experience be nominated and
elected to office.

A CAPTAIN of Industry.

A Kansas politician was asked by
his wife to lay aside politics long
enough one day to dig the potatoes in
the garden. He consented and after
digging for few minutes he returned
to the house and said he had found a
coin. He washed it off and it proved
to be a silver quarter. He put it in
his jeans and went back to work.
Presently he went to the house again
and said he had found another coin.
He washed the dirt off of it and this
time 1t was a silver half dollar He
put 1t in his jeans. 81 have worked
pretty hard" said he to his wife. II

awake he found that his wife had dug
all the rest of the potatoes. But she
found no coins. 1t then dawned upon
her that she had been worked"
