The trend of public opinion is rap-idly rap-idly assuming a political shape that is positively alarming to the old-time bosses who have heretofore been the omnipotent persons in the distribution distribu-tion of all, or nearly so, of the Important Import-ant positlonH. The people have spoken in tbe most unheurd.ot instances. in-stances. The vile rings have been broken in a most emphatic manner. In Kentucky the people have evidently evi-dently found a corruption pool that needed a clearing out and a most surprising event in history was recorded re-corded on November the eth. So it might be noted in very many instances; in-stances; the people have spoken in no uncertain tones; that political scull-duggery scull-duggery and trickery Is to be replaced with honest administration. I'rovo people have notified the bosses that they arc, to "be 'consul ted and where ill-fitting candidates have not been summarily sat down on and politically smothered they have received re-ceived a most scathing rebuke, that another time poor timber will be tendered the people with very much greater care. The day Is passing when political debts shall be paid with public interests as the ultimate redemption, but the best man will lie selected IrresDectlve of party colors, t This will be so especially in local or municipal capacities. When this fact shall have become plain our over-xealous over-xealous "patriots" will be willing to meet their "compatriots" in a really interested capacity, submit the best wen without regard to the part of the city they may live in or of their party affiliations. Then all will work for this ticket, no Ill-sounding pleas-an pleas-an tries, bs exchanged, no expensive pyrotechnics, gunpowder and thous-'ands thous-'ands of other unnecessary expenses be squandered. When a tnon-partisan ticket is elected ttio men have no subsequent debt9 to pay, no party Interests to favor or serve, and no fear of the party lash, and the best Interests of the city will be served without fear or favor. A WORTHY PRIDE. A feeling of pride in one's home and town is commendable and should be encouraged in every one and by every means. The true patriot believes in the superiority of his owu country over all others, and does not.hcsltate to mention the fact. A love of home and country Is the surest foundation for a nation's greatness. A home must be one to arouse the pride of possession and a spirit of satisfaction in order that It may be trulr loved.', l Truly one must be in hard luck If there is nothing about aplace toglve rise to a feeling of pride, and measures should at once be taken to correct such a condition of affairs where it exists. I If you have a pretty home on a pietty street, keep It so to the best of your ability. If it is not as pretty as it's neighbors, use your humble endeavor to better it's condition. Soon a spirit of emulation will rise nd an effort for something better will be seen along the entire street, and spreading thence over the whole community. Mayhap the result will be that your town will become the prettiest in a County ;r a State, even. Then you can take pride In your municipality, and be stimulated to more and better efforts. The planting of a tree, the making of a lawo, tbe building of a fence, the painting of a building, the laying off of a flower plot, the erection of a reildeoce or other building, one and all should be considered is an addition cr contrlbatlon to the beauty and attractiveness of thetown ai a whole. If you are so situated that yourefforts cannot add to the better appearance of your premises, at least see toil that they do not detract from it. And while bettering the condition of our homes outwardly, let us not forget the interior. Iteautify the home life, and your life abroad will reflect it. We can live but one life on earth: therefore let our surroundings be such that they who come after we are gone may have higher aims and nobler aspirations, and being filled with the spirit of Progress, move still further onward and inward toward that ideal existence for which we are destined. THE INDEPENDENT PAPER. Shall a man who is editor of a paper c forced to be the reflection source of all that is expressed in the paper? Or should he have the same freedom free-dom as other men? The question Is raised can a Democrat run a Republican Republi-can paper or vice a versa, or either run an independent paper? or if he does must all his readers wear colored color-ed glasses that shall look for a beam ia the poor editor's ey? In our Judgment the political or religious re-ligious belief of an editor is strictly his own business and as long as his utterances in the paper are as a whole either neutral or independent in tone his personal preferences ought not to be looked at. As a general rule an editor ed-itor will try and conform the tone of of his paper to the wishes and needs of the people and if he happens to lean one side or the other in a line, paragraph or article, he will try to be careful and tee that he is right before he leans. It is certaiuly not from a desire to be partisan. The Independent has been placed In this position wherein it expressed an idea that was considered partisan simply because it voiced the sentiments senti-ments of a member of one of the parties. par-ties. The Independent ventured advice ad-vice which, had it been given in nil the papers and taken by the people, would have saved the people of Utah many a heartburning. The Independent has endeavored at all times to look carefully at both sides of a question and handle the matter as it appears best, without regard re-gard to cither political party. THE M. I. A. FAIR. Before another issue of this paper shall have been printed the great M. I. A. fair of 1805 will be In full blast, we hope to the full satisfaction of its promoters, tbe M. I. A. under whose auspices it Is given, and the public generally. We also hope the public will try and remember it is not a World's fair, a Midwinter fair, a Territorial fair, nor even a County fair, but that It Is, strictly speaking, a local (af) fair. The committee has worked assiduously to make It a glorious success, loth as to the exhibits ex-hibits presented and financially. No money and no labor have been spared to give all who come their full value received. Tjikuk must le no straddling In '96 the parties must come out flat-footed and declare for or against financial liberty. The international agreement agree-ment fake has been worked until it is played out and can lie no longer used to blind the American people. The party that straddles the Issue is lost and deserves to be better an open foe than a false friend, and better by far a party that Is straight out for -! I . ....

The friends of free coinage must not, and will not, sup--port a party that declares against them, neither will they support a party par-ty that straddles the issue. The party par-ty that desires to obtain the Western vote must come out honestly for free coinage of silver and must give a reasonable assurance of its intention to stand by its platform by nominating nominat-ing a free coinage man for president. ine menus or rree coinage have victory vic-tory within their grasp if they will only work unitedly an l all pull together. to-gether. The confidence some people have iu tiie honesty of the printer is indeed in-deed gratifying. For the past two or three days from one to five large, fat, turkeys have been permitted, Dy their unsophisticated owner, to roam at w ill in the yard in the rear of The Independent In-dependent oflicc, and the turkeys still live. The various members of the-force the-force have been sorely tempted but as yet none have fallen from grace. At a consultation Wednesday evening to determine the most successful and secretive way of removing the temptation, tempta-tion, it was decided not to remove it Just yet. It is believed the turkeys were placed in our yard by some mean, contemptible cuss who owes live years' subscription, in order to tempt the hungry editor to appropriate appropri-ate them and thus have something to be thankful for, fully expecting to catch the editor in an act of self preservation, pres-ervation, thereby hoping to get an opportunity op-portunity to settle his account in addition to getting his turkeys dressed, dress-ed, by promising to keep the matter quiet. But it won't -work-we will not tie tempted, and if two or three of those turkeys turn up missing or, rather, don't turn up at all the owner own-er need not think any member of The Independent force appropriated them, altnough they all intend, the..moon permitting, to have turkey for thanksgiving thanks-giving dinner. Tiik Issue of 1806 will be squarely between the American people on one hand and the foreign money manipulators manipu-lators and their American (?) allies on the other, and the American people will triumph If they will only enter into the struggle with half the patriotic patri-otic energy with which their forefathers fore-fathers entered into the revolution and the war of 1812.

An ample repast was had all having plenty to eat except the Bishop, who was fortunately left out, it having been le;; rued that he had been preparing pre-paring for the occasion by a prolonged fast and the prospect of his on-caught on-caught appalled the committee.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extraordinary extra-ordinary distinction of having been the only blood puritler allowed an exhibit ex-hibit at the World's fair, Chicago.

The decision of the World's fair authorities au-thorities in favor of Ayer's Sarsaparilla Sarsapar-illa was in effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent medicine.
