THE CHANGE IN THE HEUALD-ilEPUBLlOAN.
There is something in tho old cry: "Thd'king
is dead. Lohd livo the king!" It means a will
ingness to pass from the dominance of one to tho
tyranny of another. Some people, to whom the
wish is father to tho thought, pretend to believe
that tho recent change in tho Herald-Republican
internal economy, means a difference in policy.
Truo, as tho public press has stated, Mr Callister
assumes-tho duties o)tgone'ral manager formerly
capably discharged by George Hale, who is pretty
likely to blossom out as publisher of the Tele
gram bofore tho expiration of 'his option On that
post-meridian possibility. But Mr. Callister will
not bo any more general manager in future than
he has been in tho past. Ho may sit at tho desk
a little longer each day, and ho may meet a littb
moro familiarly thosa-people and problems con
stituting the general manager's scheme of
troubles. But if any gentleman employed on the
paper, from top to bottom,, shows signs of ac
quiring the idea that thero is any difference in
the, quality-of the Callister "must1" -then the
friends. of such gontloman should take a club,
and. argue with him.
Mr. Callister's hostility to Govornor Spry, and
hisvdislike of tho governor's friends aro per
fectly understood in Utah. And there is a cur
rent rumor to the effect that tho collcotor has
seen a groat light since the return of Sonator
Smoot and Sonator Sutherland to the state, pend
ing the coma stago of the tariff bill in Washing
ton. The rumor insists that the collector has
agreed to reverse himself to tho extent of being
for the govornor, and at least not opposed to his
friends. Which position might prove important
to him. Not even Sam Park cared to have the
Horald-Republican against him.
But tho hotter informed mon insist that Call
ister is an irroconcilable, (and that, once having
committod himself to an opposition, ho is to be
counted on as an enemy entirely through the
show, with the certainty of finding him under
whatever may bo loft of tho tent whilo tho suc
ceeding concert continues. Which means that
Ed is like God in at least the ono particular
that ho is "tho same yesterday, today and for
ever." Understand, I am not saying that tho
resemblance stops there. To be frank about it, for
tho past six years or so Ed has been speaking as
ono having authority. TO one man ho has said:
"Come!" and ho comoth; and to another "Go I"
and he goeth. You can prove on paper no man
can do tho things Ed has done. But he has
done thenu
Of course he hasn't gained any vantage
ground by becoming general manager of a groat
morning paper, and inserting himself in tho pay
roll, for lib has in tho phst fcnjoyed all tho power
tho position possesses. ' But it hasn't changed his
nature any. And, inddfcd, if a man has boon
revenue colloctor as a profession, and power bo
hind the newspaper managerial throne as a pas
time, and should hate another man whilo so
hooked up; and then should cease to bo collec
tor and cultivato,tho austiro habits of a news-'
paper general manager alone, I fancy ho would
bo a bit moro hard to htfndlo in tho now relation
than in tho old. It has no restraints, you see.
It fools the chocking fnfluenoo of on official ob
ligation. It loaves a man so happily indifferent
to any wishes but his own.

Anything juicy appeals to California people.
They can't lot so of the Diggs and. Caminetti -case.
Having convicted the mon, thoy persist
ently follow the girls. If there over was a chance j
for those young womenlo begin right antTsurc"
ly thoy wore entitledHo it the action of some
church fadfes, and tho attitude of Sacramento's
city commissioner -would almost certainly damn
them. The latter official sdys: "Those , (girls' J
wrecked homes, and they deserve punishment!"' j
Yes, thoy did J .Two mon wrecked girlsjand
homos together.- This notion that women go out
and charm a man away from his duty, cozen
him into abandoning wife and child and business
employ some magic which transforms himjfrom
a good citizen to a helpless victim is all drivel.
Women aren't that easily won. If thoy" wore,
blind men would have to bear the banner! '
rectitude alone. And you would have to Import
now blind mon, to offset desertions, even then.
Tho ono chanco the Caminetti girls had was
to leavo them alono at the conclusion Of tho
trial; forgot the escapade; treat them as if.you
never heard about it just-as you do a man noxt
day after his moral lapso bocomes matter of
public knowledge.
And it is tho moro saddening to observe that
tho most pitiless persecutors of the young wo
men in quostion are women who have boon
shielded from tomptation all thoir livos. -
