Show A CRUEL EVICTION NOTICE. It Is a cruel eviction notice that the church organ has served upon Incumbents Incum-bents of offices and official positions In this State. What It says about the State Statistician Statis-tician and his work is truo onough; it has from the first been understood that this position was a peroonal "plum" that Governor Wells held out to a faithful adherent, who was neither expected ex-pected to do anything else than be a faithful partisan; nor to be competent compe-tent to do any real work aa a statistician. statisti-cian. Nor has tho Legislature ever exacted ex-acted anything of any account from tho Statistician's office; It wouldn't have got it if It had. Still, the peoplo pay tho bills, and there should Tcally have been f omethlng more worth while to show for the money. But there are competent officials in tho service of thn Stntp. nnd thoro would be no senso In ousting them. The church might gain something by putting, its tithe-payers In the places of thoso competent officials, but the State would suffer materially In the quality of Its service. It Is, however, an exhibition of both gall and stupidity to serve notlco on those officials that they must put up for the campaign fund to elect Cutler to ofllce, and at tho same time to Inform them that as sure as Cutler gets In he will oust them and put otherpersons In their places. But the humors, malignities, and In-conslsetencies In-conslsetencies of a Mormon church campaign are beyond all bounds; they havo to be lived through to be appreciated. |
