friends to dictate the appointment Of federal officers
in the territory which they hoped to make out of a
sovereign state. They had gone far as TO
parcel out among themselves the offices OF federal
judge the district attorney and marshal commission
governor-and all the offices that mold the
destinies of the territory
That isn't progress That is reaction. That is not
advancement is retrogression. And it is precisely
what they had counted upon doing-and still want
to do
For the first time in the history Of the nation, they
proposed to make state surrender its membership
in the national Union and become field which they
could successfully exploit for their selfish ag
grandizement.
First Of all things when they made Utah terri
tory, they proposed to drive out all the Mormons
Then they would have it in condition so they could
enrich themselves with the possessions of the terri
tory.
And If they could have had their way, Utah would
today have been stripped of its honors of statehood

THEIR PLAYED-our WAR CRY.

once more the dead walls of the city bloom with
the stock boasts of the city party They hang their
hopes on the declaration that they have improved the
city.
Well, there has been improvement on Brigham
street Any of you property in Brigham street
pay for the paving in front of your property? Any
of you pay for the cement sidewalk? Any of you
pay for the sewer? Yes all of you paid.
Didn't the American party pay the bills for you?
No. you paid your special Improvement assess
ments. Tie American party didn't pay your bills.
Then it must have been in First South street Any
of you in First South pay anything on your
street paving, or your sidewalk your sewer? Yes.
all of you did Didn't the American party pay for any
of it? Not a penny. The American party not only
expected the people pay but made them take what
of paving the official contractor wanted to
give them-aH except owners between Fourth and
Fifth East where the property owners, knowing they
must pay the bills insisted having the kind of
asphalt specified in the contract, and got it.
And no one in Second South escaped the obligation
to pay for the Improvement
And no anywhere else did.
What then becomes of the claim of the American
party bosses that they the work; that they
are entitled TO the credit?
They have spent than a million dollars a
year in salaries and graft-and the improvements of
all kinds have been paid for by the property owners
themselves.

THEY ARE NOT PRoeREssIvIsTs.

Gentlemen in conduct of Mr.. Bransfords campaign
declare themselves the apostles of progress They say
that every who opposes them is a reactionary
that they alone express the modern American spirit
OF Utah.
But they the people who plan to have the pow
ers of state taken away from Utah. They openly
confess that they do not believe Utah should be a
state They want to go back to the condition of ter
ritory. That precisely their plan when they took
control of the American party At that time they be-
lieved they could deceive the authorities at Wash
ingon the extent of permitting Mr. Kearns and his

THEY CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH AT ALL.

We rather expected that the addition of Mr. Dris-
kel to the Tribune STAFF would have the effect Of in
Producing element-that of truth. But, really
the paper is as bad as it before
We are willing to admit that Mr.. Drisken has
hardly had time to reform the entire force; and ii
may be he is entitled to consideration on that
account. But he surely will have openly disclam
his authorship Of the Tribune stories the effect that
the Salt Lake police arrested him.
OF course his exclusive story of the manner of his
numbering Officer Riley is entitled to the credit al
ready bestowed on it. OF course his ceverness in get
ting his confession into his paper to the exclu-
sion of all others, was fine piece of newspaper work
But is going too far for him to say that Salt
Lake police caught him.
He cannot be unmindfu of the fact that the Trib-
une is claiming that he trapped by the officers of
this city, when, as matter of fact he was caught
by the police of Ogden-a place usually referred to by
the Tribune as "one of the counties"
And Editor Driskell owes a duty to the few re-
naming patrons of his paper. He should tell them
that he didn't write the articles asserting that Salt
Lake officers made the capture
Let him square himself with the readers and all
will be forgiven.

ANOTHER HINT FOR STAGE FOLK.

What do you suppose is the reason for the favor
with which that little playet. THE Quakeress has
been received at the Orpheum? Three four times
in the history of the house play is presented
clear proportion with rest excellent they
may be- Julius Steger provided one of them. This
man. John Hyams. and his understanding wife.
have another What is the quality with which they
appeal?
Do you remember the magic with which Othello
won the heart of DesdemOna? That must he the
magic lying back of the success of Hyams and his
wife The woman, of course, has that undefinable
quality which in Billie Bur1 has been called charm.
The can hardly be charged with such an at
tribute-though he is well-appearing enough. But
the both of them convince with their perfectly nat
ural performance It is as if you had dropped in at
amused themselves with bit of a play-and by that
same process amused you.
They don't seem to be acting For the most part,
they simply having a good time. And if Hyams
and his wife do not enjoy their performance much
do the people in front-then the stimulation is
remarkable than their very clever skit,
There is the suggestion for stage folk generally.
There is need for sending splendid woman
through the horrors of opium hell There is no
need for smutty work in lines, body revealngs in
the acting The public cannot be better suited than
is with such plays the The QUakeress.' And the
approval of the public is the thing which they all
are struggling.
If have wit enough and talent enough and
enough cleanliness of heart and soul-one can make
the stage a vehicle for the races redemption.

WHY INSIST ON ExrRAvAeANcEf

1t is safe to state that every good citizen of Salt
Lake is in favor of improvement. But they not,
because of that, necessarily in favor of extrava-
gance.
And that is precisely the point at issue in the pres
ent campaign The one thing insisted on by man
ayers of the American party is that they will improve
the city OF they will do 1t they have been
doing it in the past. That is. they will permit the
property owners to pay for the improvement No
matter what party is in power it will not for the
public Improvements out of the party treasury.
You don't expect the isner circle to meet the paw
ing bills and the sidewalk bills out of the campaign
fund, do you?
You don't expect these noisy patriots" these
American party BOSSES to pay for it out of their
private purses, do you?
You know the best they can or will do is to see,
after all. that the property owners the taxpayers
themselves pay the bills.
When the Republicans regain control of the city,
public improvement will go on just fast and just
as far the property it to go-and that
is all that any party do. But the difference will
be that under the Murdoch administration, the i'm
provement will be honestly done. There will be no
graft in it, The public money spent will be spent
honestly. There will be results for every dollar
of outlay.
And in the four years of the American party con-
duct of affairs that not been the case There has
been far graft handling of the gener-
al work of advancement That seventy thousand dol
lars appropriated for plastering the Big Cottonwood
conduit, and which cut up between him and the
gTafters who gave it, will be repeated under
the Murdoch administration
That thousand dollars paid to a contractor for
pumping out water he himself permitted to come in
through defective laying, will have repe-
ttiOn.
That twenty thousand dollars sought for the ben
eft of the official wooden stave contractor and his
party friends will be stamped with dsapproval and
cut down to exactly what is fair and right-and
penny more.
There is need for extravaganza, and there will
be none when Mr. Murdoch is elected mayor of Salt
Lake

WHAT THE PARTY DESERVES.

Surely there is too strong sense of gratitude in
the business men of Salt Lake for them to desire the
defeat of the Republican party Surely they are SEN
sibe of the benefits they have derived from the Re-
publican partys conduct of affairs in the nation The
action Of congress in the recent special session has
made all the difference between prosperity and dis
aster in Utah-and particularly in Salt Lake
And the business who reads cannot be indif-
ferent 10 the fact that the papers which now
the election of the Republican candidates in this city
opposed with precisely the vruence the success
of those Republican candidates who helped in win
ming the commercial advantages resulting from fair
treatment for Utahs products.

unparalleled. Reed Smoot elected. and at Wash

position, is receiving 1.-THE boots at the hands of
the Tribune
Which is precisely what he may expect Six years
ago he dubbed a gambler, promoter of prize
fights, the friend of the underworld, by the Tribune
Now he is the candidate of that same paper-and 1t
has nothing but good to say of him.
But the minute Martin fails or refuses to do the
bidding of the Tribune crowd, then he can expect a
repetition of the kicking that paper gave him when
he was a candidate before.
1t will be most unkind cut. But the paper that
damned him then and boosts him now is capable of
ngratitude

"sETTER STAY WHERE YOU ARE"

On Wednesday morning of this week two men, both
citizens of salt Lake, coming down First
One of them has lived here twenty-odd years,
and for the past three years voted for the Amer
party candidates The other has been in the city
only year. and has not yet voted here He a
Republican back east but he has been caught with
the phrase that every who is Mormon must
be American party member; and he said to his
cOmpaniOn 4 have been a Republican, but I guess
I will get out of the party in this city election"
Don't you do it," said his friend. You stay where
you are. The men who know the situation best, and
who have to grind leaving the American
party. You join it now and you will be left high and
dry"
Which is uncommOnly good advice. Old members
of the American party, the and the who
want the best results to from government. who
liberty of conscience and freedom of political
acon-have the insineerity of their party lead
ers. And they will not longer be fooled.
Besides there many who have worked year
after year in the American party ranks accepting
statement no could right unless within
that party; and they that the bosses of the
party the only ones who profit by the establish
ment They note that there is no one in the Ameri-
party good enough for Office excepting those who
have been glued a paying position from the start.
There are new names. Bransford, mayor is forced
the ticket for reelection. The candidate
for up reelection. The candidate for
recorder has been deputy recorder and the
ing recorder is named for the council The candidate
for auditor is up for reelection. The candidate for
city attorney has been making that Office ridiculous
by his rulings for the past years-and he is the
only candidate who had a look-in.
No place for the men. so the best friends of
the party getting tired.
Besides that those who have been strong for the
American party in the past have seen the merciless
buchery that is melted those who do not sneeze
when the bosses take snuff And they too are quit
ting
That is why the who knows advised his
friend: stay where you are" He knows the Repub-
lican will regret having helped that party to
victory. And that every man of the American party
who is honest, unsesh and sincere has been disap-
pointed by the leaders of that crowd in the past

Old friends of Archbishop Ryan, when they gathered
to informally felicitate him upon his twenty-fifth
anniversary archbishop of Philadelphia recalled
some good stories about him.
One illustrative of the archbishop's fondness

noon when he little boy trying vainly to reach

The archbishop told the boy to be of good cheer

MAKE A FAIR ASSESSMENT.

One of the Utah editors to take sane view of the
revenue system of the state is responsible
for the fortunes of the Smithfeld Independent. He
is advocate of the wise plan find all the prop
erty, and list it at it's fair cash value"
Here is his argument:
Land in the plated part of the CITY, remote from
the business portions is $780, exclusive
improvements: other land in the city limits unplatted
assessed at SIS Last week real estate agent Travelled
three days TO find piece of acreage, and it held
at so high price that he could not touch it. The
price asked from four to eight times higher than
the assessed value
Now, we submit: when men refuse $500. $780, $500
for land, they ought to be least
half the price When refuse SIS to $50 per foot
Main street. they ought to be assessed at some
where the value they have refused
All these discrepancies be adjusted by simply
putting men in Office assessors and deputies who
fair, honest who know values who are not afraid
do the right thing, and who will do their level best
find all the property and list it its fair cash
value.
The law calls for all property be listed at fair
cash valuation. This is fair, and just man will
complain at such an arrangement.
When that is done everywhere in Utah, the state
will show billion dollars worth OF property will
have S-mill rate for state purposes instead of S
mills and will be less of hardship on the people
and will produce more revenue.
