GOVERNMENTAL FINANCES.

The Federal government, by reason
of ITS good sale of Panama cana
bonds, starts the new year in better
financial condition than for some Years
past The sale of the $4,000 .O0C
bonds issued on Panama canal ac
count gives the treasury a working
balance a little above $4,000 600. The
increased duties under the bunko
tariff law are also bringing in more
revenue than heretofore, and the
treasury Is in ample strength TO sus-
tam any small loss Of revenue which
may occur by reason Of the passage OF
the reciprocity agreement with Canada
But the drain upon the treasury will
be heavy In the present month. This
is the month when the new appropria-
tlons of the year become available.
There is always deficit in this month.
the expenditures largely exceeding the
revenues. The acquisitions on the
treasury for the new year arc always
large at the first. There will also
be during the new fiscal year drain
on the treasury amounting TO about
S4o,O0O,O0O, on account of expenditures
In building the Panama canal and
fortifying it, For the purpose of
meeting this expenditure, however, the
Secretary Of the Treasury has author
ity to negotiate the sale of further
bonds as needed on the same basis and
with the same restrictions as the $50,
100000 so much over subscribed and
sold in the recent Offering.
The outstanding $64 100000 in three
per cent bonds negotiated by President
Cleveland are now subject to call; but
there is no Indication that they will
be called In fact, their payment may
be STAYED off for seven years yet, ana
there would be no advantage in negc-
tiating new three per cent bonds to
take up outstanding three per cents,
which are only subject TO call at the
option Of the United States, but which
do not fully mature until 1918. Itl
seems to have been the idea Of the
authorities that the deposits in the
postal savings banks would take care
of these bonds by the time that they

editorial paragraph in the Springfield
(Mass.) Union:
II is strongly argued by the advo-
municipalities that the short ballot and

municipal government more democratic

demonstration on the part OF the whole

The effort as thus explained is no
doubt well meant. but the effect of pnt.
hardly justifes the claims made in be-
half of the short ballot, or of the com
mission form of government. We be-
| lieve, for instance, that if there is to

Likewise, if one man were conducting
all the affairs of the city, Except, Of
course, the matter of levying taxes and
the passing Of ordinances, which would
necessarily be in the hands of the coun-
cil) the city affairs would be so con
ccntrated that every citizen would
know TO whom to apply in case any
thing went wrong. and the Mayor
would be directly responsible, because
he would have the power of immediate
remedy in any case of just complaint.
The reaction against the old ineffect
i've forms of public administration is
widespread and pretty thorough, but
we doubt if, on the one hand, a cen.
tering of authority in the shape of com
or the partial centering Of au
thority in the form of short ballot,
will meet the case. The old idea which
is so effective in despotic governments,
of having one person responsible for
what is done within his jurisdiction,
appears after all 10 be about the best
solution of the problem when we take
the power away from the people them

MISS POLLOCK'S CASE.

The removal of Miss Rosalie Pollock
City schools was ordered by the Board
of Education at special session on
Monday evening, by strictly sectarian
vote. The Mormon members ranged up
unanimously against her, because she
was not Mormon, and they being in
the majority, were able to displace her.
There was no pretense that Miss Pol
lock had failed in any way to do good
work. The only thing held against her
was, that certain individuals whom, IN
the course of her duties. she had been
obliged to correct and censurc. didn t
like her. Mr.. Giauque, posing as a
great educational expert, undertook to
criticise Miss Pollock as showing evi
dence of a falling off in her efficiency
within the last two OF three years. To
have a criticism of that kind from that
source is good deal worse than a
Joke. Tho idea Of Giauque undertaking
skilled teacher is one of those pitiful
bits of humbugging pretepse that ex.
asperates instead Of edi6es. The fur
ther suggestion made by some Of the
sectaries that a false pretense should
be put up TO the effect that Miss Pol.
lock had voluntarily resigned, shows an
extremely low moral tone in the minds
of those supporting that falsity. To
have members Of the Board actually
and gravely propose a false pretense
in this matter is something so sieken-
ing as to almost make one despair of
the oficialdom OF the Board. For.
tunately, however, there were enough
members who do not love a lie TO defeat
this extraordinary base proposition.
The false pretensc through which the
Mormon sectaries have obtained con-
troll of the Board of Education on the
ground of their being non~partisan, Z"
is so generally understood, that 1t is
only worth while to take note that it
was the Mormon sectaries alone who
were IN favor of ousting Miss Pollock
Her offense Is her good work, her emf.
nent qualifications, her steadfast inter
est in the schools; and her refusal to
bow the knee to pretentious incompe-
tence, and to be easy upon inefi
cheney simply because it was found to
be in favorites of the sectaries, was |
the real cause of her displacement.
The attitude of Superintendent
Christensen in this matter was charac-
teristic all through. He read to the |
board his letter to Miss Pollock, and |
when her reply was called for, be pre-
tended to think it was in the envelope
and to be surprised that it was not |
there He then explained that it being
a delicate matter, he had made a spe-
cIal fling of il elsewhere than in the
general records. Being asked to get it,
the presumption being that if he had
made special fling he would have no
difficulty in getting it, he absented him
self in his Office for few minutes. and
came back announcing his inability to
find her reply. His attempt to explain
what was in that letter is not worthy
OF the least attention or credence. He
wonld misrepresent the contents, Of
course. His farcical pretenses all through

ty-four-hour endurance run, and her
twelve-hour economy test, will all be
equally successful. 1t is said that her
tests are the most rigid that any of
the dreadnoughts have heretofore
been put TO- The official record of her
preliminary trial has not yet been
made, but unofficial announcements
show her to exceed the requirements
exacted.
The battleship Utah is the sister ship
to the Delaware, but is little larger
than that battleship. The Delaware
has a displacement of 10000 tons, the
Utah 21,S25 tons. They are both of
tweuty-one knots speed, and each OF
10000 horsepower. They each have
the uniform armament of ten twelve
inch breech-loading rifles, sixteen five
inch rapid fire guns, four three pound
ers, and secondary batteries to CORE.
spond. AS fighting machines they are
in advance of anything in the world,
and the Utah is little more advanced
than the Delaware. Two greater dread
noughts than these, however, are now
under construction: the Arkansas, of
displacement of 10000 tons, and the
Wyoming, of the same displacement
These two, however, will not be com
pleted for at least two years.
1t would be great thing for Utah
If it could be arranged that Admral
Evans. retired, could be the commander
of the Utah in active service. a special
law having been passed to that effect,
since the Admiral got his appointment
as naval cadet from Utah; and tnen 20
have the ship manned by Utah tars
from top to bottom, as fur us possibili-
ties allow. Enllstments from Utah for
the navy have been unfortunate in the
past, so many of the Utah bows have
deserted, finding the discipline irksome
and the life too severe. If ii were
possible TO get crew for the Utah
enlisted from this State, whatever re-
proach is implied in the former deser.
tions from the navy by Utah enlisted
men would be wiped out and unique
would be had In this re
spect by this State.

A QUIET FOURTH HERE.

The Fourth Of July passed in Salt
Lake City in he quietest possible man.
ner There was very little firing of
crackers; very few made use of ex-
plosives OF any kind. The town was
"safe and sane' as on an ordinary
| Sunday. There was a general display
of flags. and the citizens went about
quietly. undisturbed by any tumult, and
secure from any injury to life and limb
through any riotous celebration of the
day
But the resorts were thronged. II
were deserted. Few people were on the
streets, the movable, restless population
being all out at the various resorts hav
ing an enjoyable time, and making use
of the Fourth in quiet pleasures.
And yet the day was by no means de-
void of patriotic sentiment. The gen
eral display Of flags was evidence of
this, and the thorough discussion of a
safe and same Fourth has accus.
toned the people here TO the Sunday
quiet which prevailed yesterday. We
hear of no accidents, no one being
hurt, and altogether il almost seems as
though we have passed crisis in safe
ty. When this new and improved order
becomes thoroughly established through
out the United States, then there will
undoubtedly begin a new order in the
