THE FERNsTRoM CHARGES.

Usually it is hardly worth while to
Councilman Fernstrom, who on We'd
nesday night broke loose in such tl-
radc and emitted such charges of
wrong doing by city officials. coupled
with statement that an approach had
actually been made to himself i'll the
way of bribery.
We notice, however that Mayor
Rransford. who, with others was ac-
cusod by Fcrnstrom, demands and in
sists upon tho fullest investigation
Indeed, the Council prior to that had
adopted a. resolution calling for the
most searching investigation, and pro
viding for committee TO make it. The
Mayor has called the council in special
meeting today TO get immediate ac-
tion. This is exactly the right spirit
in which to meet that sort of accusa.
ton We believe that everything con
ncctcd with the matters called up by
Fornstrom has been fully made pub.
lie At the same time. if there is any
thing hidden or dark, il should be
brought to light; and If any one has
done anything wrong let him face the
public and defend himself if he can.
II has been known to the public right
along that there was a good deal of
discomfort and trouble with regard to
the stavcpipe sewer put in on the west
side. 1t was exceedingly difficult to
deal with that proposition, and various
expodients were adopted. As 10 this,
however VIC have full belief that every
thing is open and known TO the public,
and we believe that there is not the
least occasion for Councilman Fern
strom 5 accusations However, he has
made them, and now it must be the
hope of every honest-minded citizen
that they viii he pushed 10 the limit,
and the exact truth in all of its dips,
spurs. and angles be brought out TO the
public gaze.

CANNoN's CROOKED TALK.

Speaker Cannon has broken loose
again in an angry TRADE against the
''insurgcnl' Republicans, II must be
that he feels the battle is going against
him when he is angry enough TO say
that shooting is too good for an in
surgcnt, that nothing but hanging can
rightly punish their disgraceful crime.
This is putting il pretty strong. And
vet, it is Speaker Cannon s way TO be
vehement, unrcstraincd and violent and
reckless of speech His likening of the
party lines in Congress to the lines OF
battle, where part Of the army will
60 over 10 tho enemy, and SO earn
scorn and iufamy, is more strk-
ing than opposite, for in an army the
soldiers and subordinate officers arc not
supposed TO have any minds of their
own. or TO represent anything except
their duty TO fight straight and hard
and to obey orders. 1t is not their
business to inquire into the orders, but
to obey them, and that at once. 1T
would, indeed, be a curious system of
representative government which would
organize the House of Representatives
on that plan. Doubtless in Mr.. Can
non S Judgment the Speaker would be
the commanding officer, would issue
orders to his army, and all in his ranks
must obey without question. 1t would
make matters easy for the political ma
chine, but il would be liable to be irk
some to members who were expected TO
obcv, and unsatisfactory in the highest
degree to their constituents. Speaker
Cannon. in taking this tone, has simply
given himself away as a sour and de
feated machine man.
His position is made all the worse by
the tactics of Senator Aldrich in the
Senate, who is openly bargaining for
support for the railroad bill from what
Speaker Cannon would call "thc op-
posing army In Speaker Cannon s
view. Mr.. Aldrich is guilty of treason
in making ovortures TO the officer com
manding the hostile army to get part
of his troops TO fight against their own
cause and under the Aldrich banner,
The infclicity of Cannon S parallel
could not be more strikingly demon
sirated in any other way than by the
contraveuing Of his idea by Senator
Aldrich. The latter apparently does not
consider that there are two hostile
armies. arrayed each under its own
banner and commander, bound to obey
orders, and morally, at least, any who
disobey are subject TO being shot or
hanged.
The intemperance of speech OF
Speaker Cannon is sometimes felcitous,
and lends tinge Of humor and gayety
to serious situations. But there is moth
ing either gay or humorous in this kind
of talk. and the idea at the bottom of

ernment The old man must be very,

THE COMETS FLYING VISIT.

2 Perhaps we haven't passed through
the comet s tail at ALL and perhaps
we are not going to pass through it.
1t S no matter either way But even
so, it may possibly be doubted whether
everyone's apprehensions of danger
from the comet will be quieted even
now after the comet. with or without
its tail, has passed. The best scientific
authorities agree that there is no pos
siblc danger from this passing OF the
comet and the switching of the earth
by its tail. And yet very many were
disquieted and curious demonstrations
are reported from various regions, un.
dertakcn in the hope Of warding off the
danger by supplications, by curious
noises such as primitive people are sup
posed to be in the habit of employing
whenever there is an eclipse; that is, by
the beating of pans, gongs and in every
way, meant to frighten away the ceIes-
tial monster that is doing the wicked.

Happily, however, tho advance Of
intelligence and of scientific knowledge

Of new polygamy within the Mormon
church, we have been asked to state

Mormon system of concuplscence that
