THE REASON.

With the passing OF the Salt Lake
Herald into the hands of republicans
the state Of Utah Is left without q
democratic paper OF any prominence
The Herald has been combined with
the Intermountain Republican, which
viii be known as the Republican
Herald. In the matter Of passing tbs
Herald says:
at was consistently democratic
though not violently partisan: yet IL
III these years Of his (Senator w. A
ClaFk's) ownership he had no AIDE
qnate expression Of appreciation from
the democratic leaders. On the con
trary. he was not infreqnently ar
raigned most anjastly because hi,
conception Of what a newspaper
should be aid not agree with Ia,
ideas Of men who sought profit polit
ically By the influence Of the Her
aid"
The Herald's experiences Is that 81
many democratic papers Fh,eh have
faithfully represented their party
principles to ind their reward only
in kicks and complaints from mem
beFs Of the party who were willing
TO drive them from its ranks because
they asserted the independence which
should be a part Of every newspaper

The Boise Capital News says that
as between Balhnger and crooked
coal land deal, and Pinchot with his
imperialistic government, let US
choose Ballinger, for it is much
easier to punish a criminal than it is
a despot. 1t was not necessary for
the Capital News to announce its po-
sition in favor OF crooked deals, as
its reputation is well established
without more publicity.

on that occasion, Anton K. Nording chief
machiniSt'S mate on the armored cruiser
North Carolina. has received the official
and personal commentator of the Secre-
tary of the Navy.
Capt. Marshall, comma nding the North

action of Mate Nordling in stopping the
starboard engine at the time of an acct

TENDER last. The accident" said Capt.
Marshall, was of such a nature as COM

high speed at which the ship was running
the excessive rush OF high-pressure steam
into the condenser would lave caused a
serious explosion, attended certainly by
irreparable damage to the condenser itself
and by probable less of HE. 1t would
have taken but a few seconds to accom-
plish this destruction. The officer of the
watch was attending to the cleaning and
up- keeping of the fires in connection with
his general duties and was absent from
the engine room at the time of the acct
dent The promptneSs of Machinist Mate
NOrdling in shutting steam off the engine
and the efficient grasp of the situa ton he
d splayed in SO doing appear worthy of
special remark.
