It should le reincinliered that the purpose behind this Salt Palace Is to benefit the city and state. With that end in view certain of our pushing, enterprising men are giving their time, their energy and their money. They do not peek private gain more than that that may come indirectly to every citizen by the enterprise. They should be undr suth l . encouraged in every way jiossible. They have enough to contend with at best, and why certain Individuals seem to think It part of their duty to act the part of obstructionists and use their efforts to hinder the enterprise is one of the mysteries. At the Worlds fair Jackson Park was used for exiosition purposes. In San Francisco the Golden Gate Park grounds were used for the Midwinter Exposition. In fact, public parks are generally used, and are the proper places for such affairs. Who in Chicago or San Francisco raised the fine point that Park grounds could not he used for such purposes? It remained for the conservative elements of this city to draw the attention of the country to their narrow conservatism and lack of public spirit by such opposition. Liberty Park is large enough so that the Salt Palace would not interfere with its general uses. In fact, the Palace would be a benefit to the Park. We doubt if a single citizen could be found who would claim that the Salt Palace would not add to it as a pleasure resort. We do not wish to impute to any member of the city council anything but honorable motives in this matter, but they should not stand in the way. They should aid the enterprise and err, if at all, on the side of progress and advancement. For this city is going to go forward in spite of a woeful lack of enterprise on the part of too many of our people and those narrow souls wrho are now trying to block the way will feel mighty small after the procession has passed them so far that they never can catch up with it. The Governor of Pennsylvania, who is simply a tool of Matt Quay, wasted no time in appointing his political creator to the United States senate as soon as the state Legislature of that state failed to elect a sector. This notwithstanding the fact that all the precedents are against seating an ; i . fef u pet itself has at a candidate appointed ly a to Governor when the plate had an opportunity ami failed to elect a senator. Reside this, the law Ip dearly against such appointee. It only authorizes the Governor to appoint In case of a vacancy occurring when tin Legislature Is not In session, and then such appointee can only hold until the Legislature has an opiirtunlty to elect.

Who will he be? Governor Wells is the only man who can answer this question. Here is the way the the voters. Utah County Democrat sizes up the ing situation: The question as to who will be appointed as the colleague of Senator Rawlins is an interesting one to Utah people. That he will he a McKinley Republican thre is, cf course, no doubt, and that branch of the party can furnish an abundant supply of what it regards as good Senatorial timber. During the late Legislative session George Sutherland was the candidate persistently voted for by the Republican members during most of the session, and he would naturally be regarded as the logical candidate. On the other hand, through certain influences exerted at the close of the session, George Q. Cannon came alarmingly near election, much closer than Sutherland ever approached; and by many it is believed that the same influence will be used upon the Governor to name the elder Cannon for the place. That George Q. is a rabid candidate, there is no question. Then we have Arthur Brown, who thinks he graced the office once and would like to do it again. While he is probably the most unsafe man who could be sent, he yet has some considerable following, and may bob up with the Governors certificate of appointment. Then there is A. L. Thomas. Artie is quite a politician, and has fed at the public crib as long as r, the memory of man runs. He is, postmaster of Salt Lake City, rather a fat thing in itself, and that ought to place him out of the running. There will be other candidates present themselves to Governor Wells before the time of appointment comes, and ex-Sena- tor how-eve- i r The present city administration is weak and Inefficient An exchange furnishes the following: from top to bottom. The Mayor is The Indianapolis city council recently street car monoixdy a lacking In force and energy. He has granted the thirty-fou- r years extension of charter accomplished nothing, but has con Indiana fares, and an tented himself with letting matters run with court refused the application of workalong in old ruts. His intentions may be good, but it Is works and not inten ingmen for an injunction to restrain the tions that this city Is in need of at this time. So far as the council is concerned it has kept up the record for personal bickering and quarreling so well maintained by its predecessor. Its time has been so fully occupied in this way that it has had no chance to do anything for the city. There are a few good men in the council, but far too many cheap, small bore, political blatherskites. One of the noisiest of this latter class is putting in his time outside of business hours in trying to make political capi tab for himself and his party. What is best for the people never enters his mind. He and his class should he remembered. What this city needs now at the head of its affairs is big, broad, men. It does not matter what their politics is. It has suffered too much already at the hands of cheap-Joh- n politicians, and it is time for a change. As it is, the people are getting very little benefit of the heavy taxes they are paying. The remedy is in the hands of the voters. It should be applied at the first opportunity. fair-mind- ed consummation of the outrage. On the same, day the charter was extended resjxmsible business men of Detroit offered to take the franchise for twenty years with fares, and to turn over the lines to the city at the end of the term without cost. The circumstances are such as to warrant the inquiry, how much did the aldermen get? Apropos to municipal ownership of public conveniences, we give space to two further items on the subject: Cedar Falls has a municipal water plant, and the Globe announces that notwithstanding expensive improve- ments, the works last year netted $2,-00- 0. What is true of Cedar Falls is true of municipal water plants everywhere. Without exception they are better than private plants.
