derelicts" obtained prcferment because
the better element stayed away from
the primaries and permitted those
who did attend TO be overwhelmed by
the followers Of the sclf-seekers and
Iincumpetents."
This is quoted verbatim. And it
tells the entire story of the failure of
the party to give the people an adj
administration worthy of the support Of
any American citizen.
But the party asks for the control
OF the County treasury in addition to
the City treasury. We have right TO.
Judge Of its future intentions by Its
past record. And according to that
record, the first thing the party would
do as masters of the County, would be
to advocate a bond Issue We believe

could mortgage the peoples homes AMI

gin with. What neat sum that would

come considerably nearer the State

Fol, poLIc1NG THE pob1cE.
San Francisco Call.

One remarkable phase of American
municipal administration is disclosed
by the measures taken by Mayor Gay
nor in New York to protect his cons
stituents from the police of that city.
He has supplied an answer to the
ancient Roman question, WHO shall
guard the guards?" Mr.. Gaynor. in a
word, has appointed a body charged
with the duty of policing the police
This duty has been hitherto intrusted
to members of the department, and by
consequence 1t was VIGOROUSLY neg
ected. Tho New York police force is
in many respects no better than an
organized banditti. The cohesive pow
force has been so great that boasts were
openly made that no municipal ad-
ministration could purify the depart
ment. 1t was said that If Gaynor at
tempted anything OF the sort he would
be politically destroyed. He has ap-
parently accepted the defiance. In his
letter of Instructions to the commits
sioners Mayor Gnynor says: There Is
no more dangerous character in u free
government like ourz Than public
official who deems himself better than
or above the law and free to take the
law in his own hands and do as
he pleases. That spirit in public Of
ticials, once become general. would
end our system of government at
once The most significant feature of
the proiect lies in the creation of q
secret service to watch the police and
make the practice blackmail danger

necessary in New York, and VIII per-
haps in time be ADOPTED In other

THE AGE OF ANTIQUITIES.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
How do you know this was made
in the thirteenth century,? inquired
n New York customs inspector of
Miss Morgan when she entered a
crucifix duty free as an antique. The
young lady. without asserting in de-
tail her youthful years modestly as
sured the inspector that she was not
there at the time of its production,
but nevertheless knew 1t was antique.
But the United States would not
take her word for 1t. and forthwith
ordered its temporary contlscation
until the appraisers are able to de-
termine its age. According to the
new rules Of administration of the
custom houses, every person bringing
articles into this country Is assumed
to be guilty of smuggling until proof
of his or her innocence is established.
But there is a limit even to that un-
reasonable Interpretation of the law.
Will the op1xion of any United States
appraiser as to the genlineness and
age OF antiques be more reliable than
that Of the house of Morgan?

THE INDIAN.

Prof Levi e. Young. of the unlver-
sity, in the current number of the Utah
Educational Review, has begun the pre-
sentation of series of articles on the
Indians.
The writer's purpose seems to be 10
furnish materials that shall be suitable
for the instruction of young people in
relation to the aborigines of the land
upon which they live.
He finds that Utah Is full of rich stor-
les about this picturesque human be-
Ing, and that in nearly every home.
tales are told of times when the IA
Their or mother, or their pioneer parents
had exciting experiences with the ma
tive Utes and other Indian tribes.
Since these stories are fast passing
away, he says they should be gathered
and kept that our children and chill
dren's children may possess them; that
teachers should be alive to this wealth
| OF material. and help to collect and pre-
servc it.
| 1t is remarkable that in spite of all
their warlikc ways and their bitter
hatred ut times for the white men, the
native tribes still had many noble char
acteristics. and express high and tender
feelings in their traditions and songs.
They sometimes pitched their lodges
near u pioneer camp and occasionally
stole or stampedcd cattle. They We're
so numerous then that bands number
Ing many thousands would, from time
to time file by the cx-trains of the emil
grants. sometimes requiring hours and
even whole days to pass. II was not
often that they became warlike against
the pioneers--a fact attributed by Prof
Young to the treatment accorded to
them by the mormon" people. He says
that the pioneers believed II to be
cheaper and better to feed than to fight
the Indians. They therefore refrained
from seeking to punish every depreda-
ton of the red man, AS a result The
Indians frequently visited the homes
and villages of the early settlers, and
Brigham Young WAS wont to entertain
them IN u friendly manner. He ap-
ponteu teachers to so among them and
establish schools and gained by his
practical charity their respect and ad-
miration.
