GENERAL MERRITTs OPINION.

according to newspaper dispatch from
st. Louis, Brig. Gen. WELsEY MERRITT has
been expressing himself very freely on the
situation. He is quoted as saying:
II sincerely trust that this is a final SETTLE.
ment OF the threatened Indian outbreak Not
that that calamity might not have been averted
by other means. however for am not by any
means clear, mind, that there would have been
an uprising. have maintained from the first
that an Indian insurrection at the approach of
winter when the braves were in need of food
and forage, was an improbable thing. These
Indians, despite all reports to the contrary are
poorly armed Again, it is contrary to all pre
cedent that the Indian awaits the massinp of
troops around his reservation before going on
the warpath His operations are conducted with
the utmost secrecy. Then this prophet
business has been overworked, and the Indians
confidence is now really waning as regards
heavenly interference. The Messiah has been
too widely ditfused, so to speak, for even the
credence OF the ignorant Sioux. The truth is
that much more has been made of this threat
ened outbreak than the situation warranted.
True, the Sioux Indians are armed with Win
chester repeating rifles, more or less deadly at
both muzzle and breech but the Sioux is helm
less without his horse, and he is keenly aware
OF the difficulties attending winter campaign
in the bad lands. where he is del rived of forage
for his horses. a man like General Crook
would not have called all the troops from the
south in an emergency Of this KIND and he
would have been pretty apt to have been
master of the situation
General, what does this concentration of
troops from the south meang' we asked.
III is not for me TO say; but it is pretty well
understood in army circles that private amhi-
tons have had more or less TO do with the
present Indian situation. Some officers have
manifested tendency to criticise the employ
ment OF troops from New Mexico, California
and Texas. men unacclimated and therefore i'll

ner in which the city has dealt with the
vice and lawlessness that recently mani
Tested themselves with such emphasis here
The best element in your party asks fol
the aoatemens of these conditions of temp
tation and danger, and will uphold you in
suppressing them.
The Liberal ring desires nothing of the
sort, will probably seek to handicap YOU il
you endeavor to enfore the laws. and at all
events, will do its utmost to disgrace Won
and pull you from your present position.
Which Of these elements in your party
VIII you heed. One will stand bv Won
having no enmity towards any officer that
seeks to do his duty. The other will work
against you, no matter what course Won
take now, for to that element the crime Of
being born of Mormon parents is insup-
portable. Young Utah cannot tell in what
direction New York is from here, is of base
blood and slum parentage-this is now the
cry Of the Tribune, the head and front of
the ring
BY suppressing Objectionable clements OF
vice and crime now you can gain the sup
port OF the best element of your own party
and the respect of all good citizens.
If you are to be downed for the offense ot
being born in this territory, by the little
ring that rides sstride the neck of vour
party, at least go down with coors flying
as becomes Utah man.
Enforce the city ordinances. Take 2 firm
stand. Insist upon naming your own no
hcemen, or at least that none be employed
whom you cannot recommend, and Won can
then grapple with the criminal element
here with some confidence and with assur-
ance of victory
We know perfectly well that these sug.
gestions will raise storm from the organ
that IS bent upon accomplishing your de-
feat But we do not care for that. We are
interested in the cleanliness and decencv

ever except to condemn the affair, in the
plot now afoot for the political ruin of the
present chief of police. What think Won

SENATOR WoLcoTT, of Colorado, in his
speech against the passage of the force bill
enumerated the following piece OF good
Democratic doctrine: cit involves fed
eral interference and espionage he said,
at other than national elections, and
such interference is contrary to the spirit
of our institutions and an obstacle in the
right enjoyment of our liberties. y
Any federal interference with state cleo
tons is to my mind intolerable" That
one of the Republican Senators should
chose to stand upon the ground of constitu-
tional liberty while his party stands upon
that of expediency alone, is significant.
This Senator will become Democratunless
his party undergoes change of policy.

SILVER LEGISLATION,

We have heretofore expressed the opin-
finally be detrimental to the interests of
silver. We have no reason for changing
that opinion now.
When Senator FARwELL admitted the
other day that there is silver pool, in
which it is said that many members of
Congress are interested, he let out secret
that will do the silver cause much injury.
The reason for the scheme through
which the government is to buy up all the
silver on hand in this country is now ap.
parent. 1t is not for the purpose of bring
ing silver up to parity with gold in order
that free coinage may be established, but
merely to enable the present owners Of the
silver now on hand to get a good price
for it.
After that, if this nation alone shall pay
dollar in gold for every piece of silver of
the the weight and fineness of the present
silver dollar, the gold of the United States
will very likely disappear, being sent
abroad to purchase silver at a low price, to
sell to this government at high price
OF course this result will not happen if
this country alone is able, through free
coinage, to absorb the surplus silver of the
world, so that the price of the metal will
everywhere correspond with the price paid
for it by our government. But that is the
question. Is our nation strong enough to
restore silver to its former place! A fail
ure, if the attempt is made, will mean that
$3.50, 100000 of gold coins and SOC, OOO,0 900 of
gold bullion, which form our present money
basis, will be sent abroad, leaving US with
silver and single silver standard
But it is certain that the dupliclty and
iobbery connected with recent and pend
ing silver legislation, whatever present
advantages it has conferred on silver own
ers, will delay the adoption of free coinage,
and retard progress toward an interna-
tional agreement on the silver question.

The GOOD people of New Foundland are
in one Of their periods of excitement and
discomfort. For long time they have felt
that Great Britain has not treated them
fairly; in fact, that the mother country has
shamefully neglected them while France
has been insulting and abusive. In their
indignation some of the people now propose
to tear down the British flag, hoist the
stars and stripes and appeal to the United
States to protect them in the course. We
suspect that the New Foundlanders are at
heart more American than British, which
is the real cause of their discomfort. They

Some New Uses for Old Goods

Some New Uses for Old Goods.
Old rubber boots and shoes make a
fine foundation for new balls; old
worsteds that will ravel make the outside,
and old morocco or kid shoes furnish a
new cover for same.
Old habits, if bad ones, are always
making new miseries for their possessors
Old newspapers make delightful scrap
books if put into the right kind of hands
Your old toys will make interesting
new playthings fol some one else.
Old wrapping Irvine when knitted into
bath mittens by busy little fingers make
appreciated new presents for some one
who is SO privileged as to receive.
Old books-good old books, make the
most entertaining new friends in the
world. Try them.
And the most delightful of all is to take
new counsellor, a new chum in the
form of some old lady or gentlemen. A
boy or girl who can make and keep such
friend has a source of comfort not
found in young friends. Cultivate the
friendship of some pleasant old lady or
gentleman, and you have friend who
can advise, who will comfort you and
sympathise with you in disappointments
and one who will enter heartily into all
your plans for good.

The Kings Trust,

Once upon time a certain Monarch,
put down his newspapers took off his
spectacles very carefully, as you've seen
grandfather or grandmother do SO often,
and gazed meditatively out of his royal
window.
At first glance you might not have lik-
ed his face. You might have thought.
Why doesn't he smile oftener, why does
he look SO serious? But when he did
smile you would feel surprised at your
self for thinking him stern.
''Yes will do it" he said almost aloud
as he folded up his papers and touched a
bell to call his Secretary.
"Write" said his Majesty royal pro-
clamation. "Let this be the whole of it.
'Shares in the Kings Trust will be dis
posed of tomorrow, high noon. Let my
people come"
The secretary thought little of the
matter except to obey. He knew that
"Let my people come" was command
which the people must receive in
order to obey. 1t was his duty to
send out carriers of the Kings message.
"Let my people come" was the part
that was understood throughout the
Kingdom, but "The Kings Trust" queri-
ed many. "What does he mean?"
"Shares to be disposed of" indeed
laughed some of the welthy mobiles. "Weu
IN game OF that kind We can hold our
. own even with the King" And there was
much speculation among the rich as to
the kind OF trust, the price of shares. etc

the poor. "Why should we go? Where.

That the greeting is cordial and hearty
on my part is proved by my saying it to
you. 1 want to entertain you. [ am
willing to do great amount of Work to
accomplish this if you will return my
greeting, just to tell me if I am welcome.
If the whole paper were ours you could
tell me this by subscribing, but as it
isn't, and your parents are the subscrib-
ers, I will not be able to tell whether you
are entertained or not unless you tell me.
II you will write to me and tell me what
kind of reading you like, let me know
something of your tastes, I will do my
best to interest you. Tell me when you
write, your age and what books you have
read. Tell me also if you take paper or
magazine for your very own.
Now to prove to you that am in earn
est will promise to answer every letter I
receive, either through our paper or by a
personal letter.
Do not be afraid that you may not be
able to write, or perhaps spell as well
as grown persons. If you did I'd be
little bit afraid that the letter was not
your own.
I was SO long accustomed to getting
these letters, in the shape of monthly
examination papers that can read and
appreciate letter from the smallest
writer that can hold a pen. I believe
that the reason why l undertake the
task of writing to you is because l miss
those letters and want to get back my old
