depth. 1t is estimated that the total
reach as high as 100000 cubic yards.
The conract will call for completion
in three years from the date of its
signing and the bidders are required by
the specifications to state what por-
tion Of the material they will dredge
in six month periods.
1t is stated that the dredging for
the pier and slips of the naval station
will not be included in the conract,
but will be done separately from the
channel work. The dredged material
shall be deposited in such parts OF
the channel as are over fifty feet in
depth and when these holes have been
filled up in such places as shall be
agreed on by the contractor and the
officer in charge of the work for the
United States. No pay shall be CIV
en- to the contractor for the dredging
of any material from the channel when
it shall come from level of more
than thirty feet below low water.
All proposals submitted by contrac-
tors for the work must be accompan>
led by a certified check for $1,000 which
shall be a guaranty to the navy de-
partment that the bidder shall not
withdraw his bid, unless for some
reason which is held to be good and
sufficient by the head chief of the bu-
reau of yards and docks. The usual
requirements in regard to experience
by the contractors are made and it is
also stated that all bidder must show
what they expect to use in the line Of

AN ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCE.

A week i'm advance of the Denver
convention il is notable that the plat
form has not been written as it will
ings is yet to be completed and the
second place on the ticket is open to
any one of half dozen desirable men.
Still more noticeable is the certainty
that the delegates to the convention
will play the part of delegates repre-
senting the people who chose them.
Ordinarily. these peculiarities would
not be conspicuous. A delegate con-
vention is supposed to be representa-
tive body acquiring its authority from
the party electorate. In democratic
form of government il is second in i'm
portance only to the voters at the ma
tional election. Yet, with the recollec-
ton of the Chicago convention fresh in
the public mind, the Denver gathering
promises to be unique in this year OF
Roosevelt domination of the Republic
can convention.
Bryan's nomination is assured by di-
rect instructions from the voters; he
will owe his selection, not to packed
national committee determining con-
tests without regard TO equity or JUS
tice. The platform will embody the
judgment of the leaders of the party
approved by the delegate assembly.
The vice presidential candidate will be
selected, not by one man. but by the
representatives of the party in session
for that purpose; and he will be chosen,
not for his wealth or his Affiliations
with men of wealth, but for his ability
10 fill the Office acceptably and win the
confidence OF the voters.
In all of these particulars the differ
ence between the fore-ordained results
of the Chicago convention and the
Denver assembly is fairly character
istic of the difference between the two
great parties.

guilty to the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg. Idaho has law which provides
the extreme penalty for those who
commit murder. That law is made a
mockery by the communication of the
sentence of Harry Orchard.
1t has been said that Orchard is
spared in order that he may testify in
other cases. But the jury that tried
Haywood did not believe him. The
jury that tried Pettibone did not be-
lieve him. How under heaven can the
Idaho officials expect another jury to
credit his statements? Orchard was
not entitled to mercy simply because
he pleaded guilty. He deserved the ex-
treme penalty regardless of that fact.

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

SLOWLY and under strong pressure lne
city administration is getting around TO
the facts affecting the proposed bond
issue. To be sure, the auditors state
ment. which was published yesterday
at advertised rates. is six months late
and only brings his reports down to
Jan. 1 of this year; but that is better
than could have been expected and in
spires a hope that ultimately the peo-
pie may be told the whole truth about
present-day conditions.
Just why the administration should
wish to withhold the statements of
finances required monthly by law
does not appear. Concealment can
only lead to suspicion that con-
ditions are worse than they really
are. II. as seems certain. the
treasury is in bad shape. the
taxpayers are entitled to know the
worst If. as the councilmen claim,
they are not to blame for the situation,
an honest statement should clear them.
Everything is to be gained by frank
ness. and nothing can be gained by
eNdSlOH (OISlutltu AlcitiS a. iiiUt
ter of partisan tactics, the Americans"
have followed a foolish course in re-
fusing to publish freely just what they
owe what they honestly expect TO do
with the bond money.
The Herald has no partisan object In
it's insistence that the administration
take the people into its confidence on
the bond proposal IL believes mat
ter of such Importance should be con-
sidered carefully and with all the data
in hand for the information of the
voters. That is not an unreasonable
attitude: on the contrary, il is just
such a course as any business man
would follow If he had the same pro-
posal before him in his personal bust
ness affairs.
II the mayor and council will tell the
public frankly what the city owes,
what its outstanding. unpaid warrants
are. how much OF the bond money is to
be applied 10 work already done or
contracted for. and how much entirely
new work is TO be done-if they will
tell these things as they should, the
people will be in position TO vote in
tellisently on the bond issue. And
the voters should not be asked TO APP
prove the bonds until this information
is forthcoming.

INCORPORATING COMPETITION.

There are several ways of killing

Arrests. And Salt Lake has had an
governmental experience with about
every curve known to the business
since p. ]. Moran became official con-
tractor for the American admins
tration.
One of the common ways of discour-
aging competition is TO enforce penalty
clauses for delay against an "unde-
sirable" contractor. Another way is to
make II difficult for him 10 get grade
stakes. still another is 10 reject his
material on inspection. third, and
usually last resort, is TO open bids. find
out who is low man, and If the ''unde-

bids and advertise again This gives
the favored one a chance TO see how
low he must go 10 get the work. and 1t
also means a loss for the man who had
expected to keep his plant occupied
with the work in prospect
All of these peculiar devices have
been worked recently on one firm of
contractors. and a new wrinkle was
added on Monday night when an at

CLEVELAND DIED POOR.

In the light of developments since the
death of Grover Cleveland ii is to be
hoped that some of his calumniators
will have the decency to publicly apol-
ogize for their utterances. 1t has been
charged that he left the White House
a very wealthy man, that he even re-
ceived money in connection with bond
issues. that he was the only man who
ever made any money out of the chief
magistracy. These cruel ISLANDERS
deeply wounded Mr.. Cleveland while he
was alive, and some hyenas have been
vile enough to repeat them now that
he is dead. Mr.. Cleveland was poor
man. comparatively speaking. when he
died And when we say comparative
~ speaking we do not mean to COM
pare his modest competence with that
of the rich men of the country. Many
thousands of men die In the United
States every year leaving their fami-
the Cleveland family has been left. An
intimate friend of the dead ex-presi-
dent is quoted by a contemporary as
saying:
When Mr.. Cleveland left the White
House the last time, and for many
years thereafter, he had, together with
his wife. about $4,000 a year. His in
come often worried him exceedingly,
especially as he saw his family grow
ing up about him. and knew their flu
ture was not as we'll provided for as
he could wish. He would not accept
ANYTHING from his friends; he was ex-
tremelv proud on that score, but those
who knew him best knew that his cir
cumstances worried him not little.
He did not live in New York for the
as cheaply as he could in New Jersey
and maintain the style he felt would be
demanded of him. When he became one
of the trustees of the Equitable Life
his income was added to somewhat: /
think he obtained something like $4,000
for that work He was the only member
of the board of three who was paid. but
unlike the others, he gave nearly his
entire time to the work of the insur-
ance company.
Had he lived little longer his cir
cumstances would have been much i'm
proved. All. of his friends reJoiced when
he became the head Of the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents, with a
salary of $4,000 a year, for they knew
observation-disclosures. However. he had
only held that place for year, so that,
although there had been an improve
ment. il was not sufficient to make a
great deal of difference
II know good deal about Mr.. Cleve-
lands affairs. and my belief is 1t will
be found that he left little, if anything,
TO his family outside Of the house at
Princeton and the furnishings in it and
the place at BuZZard Bay. He had
some money in addition, but l don't be-
lIeve it was very much. My recollection
is that he had it on deposit in the
Knickerbocker Trust company. That
fact came out at the time that COM
pany closed it's doors"

pRisoN FOR ORCHARD.

From Boise comes the expected an
nouncement that the death sentence of
Harry Orchard has been committed to
life Imprisonment. From the begin
ming II has been apparent that this
would be the final outcome of the case,
so there will be no surprise over the
action of the Idaho board of pardons.
The action nevertheless, is to be de-
plored. There was no doubt whatever
about the guilt of this man.
Harry Orchard deliberately planned
and executed one of the cruelest muir
dets in the criminal history of the
country. According to his own state
ment he was guilty of other assassina-
lions. but he did not, as a defendant.

This is the picnic time.
When merry parties OF children,
Making a most unearthly racket,
Climb aboard the trolley cars
And HE them to the parks.
Where they fall into the water,
Bruise their little persons,
Smear jam on their faces.
Take countless risky tumbles,
And keep their mothers on the jump.
Woe TO him of male persuasion
Who has the nerve to go along.
The part he plays is awful,
Tugging about the baskets.
Being a sort of Handy Andy.
A good thing, and a willing worker,
While he mops his face and wishes
He were miles and miles away
From that particular spot
Resting by his lonesome.
Ants infest the luncheon.
Flies walk through the butter.
Blithely walk through the butter.
Which is soft enough TO swim in.
Sand gets in the sandwiches,
Somebody spills pie.
Comes a drencning shower.
Then more sun, hotter than ever.
Fifty-siX hats are lost,
Ten dozen babies cry.
Do you call that pleasure?

Beneath a buZZing fan;
The spoons and knives and forks IN order,
A frisky bill of fare
And a nimble waiter
Who is out to earn his money.
