A MATTER OF DUTY.

N - ] ] IN VT ~
When The Herald announced some
days in advance of the fact that the
Park City mine owners had decided to
close down their properties in the big
camp, the Park City Record denounced
the publication in most bitter terms as
an attack on the camp, an injury TO its
business interests. and questioned the
accuracy of the report. Since then
events have proved the entire correct
ness of the prediction, and the Record
itself has been compelled to admit so
much.
Every newspaper man, including the
editor of the Record, knows that it is
the duty of a newspaper to give its
subscribers complete and accurate re-
ports of events pleasant or unpleasant.
In this case The Herald's information
left no question as to the certainty of
a shutdown in the mines A move of
such importance was of the greatest
interest to thousands of people. 1t af-
fected the mine employees and their
families, it affected every individual
stakeholder III all the. corporations of
the camp; it had bearing on the
business plans of every business men
in the camp and of a good many BUSH
ness concerns elsewhere. Every tenant
of property in the Park whose lease
expired Jan. l was concerned. every
teamster-every man. woman and child
whose prosperity could be dependent
upon the mines.
Knowing the facts, no reputable
newspaper would have withheld pubIi-
cation; on the contrary it would have
been almost criminal to have sup
pressed the truth.
The Records grievance seemed To be
based on the fact that the publication
hurt the holiday business of the mer-
chants i'm Park City. Such a result
was unfortunate for the merchants, as
any business loss is a misfortune, but
the announcement of the impending
shutdown was a kindness to every cit
izen of the Park, because it enabled
those who might otherwise have been
unprepared to get ready for the change
in conditions. 1t was no misfortune
for the employees of the mines to be ad-
vised that they would have their rev.
enue cut off and so give them a chance
to economic their savin, il was no
unkindness to anticipate by a few days
the impending action which everybody
has since seen consummated. Even the
merchants must have profited by the
news, because they we're prepared to
limit credits and make advance ar
rangements for the economies that nat
uralIy follow a general closing of the
mines in a big camp.
The Herald needs no advocate to con-
vince the people of Park City that it
is friendly to them and to their inter-
ests. In season and out, the news that
goes to make for the success of Park
Citys mines and its people has been
published fully. and liberal space has
been devoted TO the exploitation of the
Parks wonderful mineral wealth. And
we assume from the result that no one
appreciated more the value of The Her
AIDS report than it's own subscribers
in Park City, who first learned from its
columns the most important news af-
fecting their plans that has been pub
lished within a year.

The forty-sixth congress was Demo-
cratic in both houses. Samuel j. Ran
dali was speaker of the house and Allen
G. Thurman president pro tempOre.
One day the senate was in a parlia-
mentary perplexity when Carpenter
rose and said thar in such difficulty he
always sought the counsel of the sena-
tor from Ohio, and i'm his absence he
turned to the senator from Vermont,
Edmunds, the two great parliamentary
authorities of the body; but as both
were then out of the chamber he was
left TO his own resources and that he
would venture q guess at it.
But Thurman was more than a great
parliamentary lawyer. He was all sorts
of a great lawyer the equal of any
man of his day and generation. 1t was
his mastery expoundings of the cOnsti-
tuition during the miserable reconstruc-
ton era, more than any other single

party he left here and led in the SEN
ate for twelve glorious years.

the vote in the election of 1876 1t was
an absurd proposition that the two
houses of congress were to be convened
a certain Thursday of February, 1877,
just to look on while the president pro
TEN. opened such certificates as he
deemed legal and counted the vote
without appeal from his decision. And
yet that is what Morton and Edmunds

knew that the vote of the disputed
states could not be counted for Hayes
unless the house of representatives,
Overwhelmingly Democratic. assented
to it. So they got up the electoral
commission. Tilden opposed it in a
letter to Hewitt that showed that he
was a prophet as well as usage. eHre

fight? After defeat is the time to sur
render" Hewitt did not dream that
fifteen men-five senators, five repre-
sentatives, and five members of the
supreme court. chosen as the act pro-
vided. could be found who would de-
eide for Hayes. Had he thought so,
he would have made public Tilden's
letter; there would have been no cleo
toral commission; the vote would have
been counted in a constitutional way,
