THE WAR CLouDs LOWER.

The war clouds are gathering again
in Europe and it viii not be very sur
prising if this time they should burst
in overwhelming fury So many times
they have lowered over the European
horizon and have been dispersed with
out storm that people are becoming
accustomed to the temporary darkness
and the frequent alarms, and like the
cry of wolff the report of anticipated
war does not create much of a commo-
ton.
Just now, however, there seems
pretty strong cause for apprehension.
The friendship that has sprung up be-
tween Russia and France, and the tenn
per and attitude of the German En-
peror. give occasion for serious thought
among the leading statesmen of the
great nations For war with Austria
or Germany would almost certainly
drag in the other powers and the whole
continent would be involved in gil
gantic and bloody conflict.
The Russian designs on the Danube
and also on Constantinople are histor-
ic. They are part of the legacy be-
queathed by Peter the Great The Rus
slams will never be contented until they
gain possession of the coveted outlet,
or are so thoroughly beaten as to
abandon the realization of their long
cherished dream
France of course wants to regain Al
sace-Lorraine. In the event of war
between Russia and Germany, France
would be glad to take hand with the
hope of revenging hers for past re-
verses. And if Russia should be involv-
ed with Austria over the question of
the Danube, no doubt Germany would
become an Austrian ally. Then the fur
would begin to fly and one nation af-
ter another would be drawn into the
conflict until a general European war
would be precipitated and it would be
Of immense proportions.
So long as this country kept out of the
trouble the effects would be beneficial
rather than otherwise because Of the
impetus it would give to our foreign
trade This is mercenary veiw to
take of the matter but it naturally aris-
es in looking over the field.

4 NEW NAVAL ERA.

The recent trials Of the new cruisers
and warships built by the government
have developed the fact that the United
States is entering upon a new era in
shipbuiIding. The instances UP TO a
late date in which any bonus has been
paid by the government to the builders
for speed attained over and above the
number of knots required by the con-
tract have been very rare; indeed,
the fear has usually been that the
speed would hardly come up to the
STANDARD.
Lately. however, the government has
PAID in bonuses to the builders of the
vessels recently launched upward of
100000. In attaining this speed. it has
not been done by inattention to any part
of the vessels nor by a decrease in
strength or power.
American ingenuity and skill have
at last triumphed over obstacles in
this regard that We're only a short time
ago, seemingly irsurmountable.
In paying out this money the govern
nent has secured quid pro quo in the
additional value Of the vessels on ac-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-12-12

that the Territorial Central committee
was the only authorized body to make
the call. because it is for the filing
of a territorial Office.
The Territorial Central Committee
met on Monday and cut the Gordian
knot by issuing a call upon the county
committee to take steps for the meet
ing of a convention of delegates, in
such number and at such place as
that committee may determine. The
order will be found in another part
of this paper.
The chairman of the county COM
1nittee. recognizing this order of affairs,
has issued a call for a meeting of his
committee, when the instructions of
the Territorial committee will be re-
sponded to- That call will also be
found elsewhere in this issue of The
Herald.
1t will be seen, on reflection, that
this was the proper mode of proce-
dure. If the election had been general
the Territorial committee would have
issued its call on the county committee
to make call for the primaries to be
held. and as they will have to do 50
in the present instance, it is better for
the county committee here to take
the whole matter in hand under
authority of the Territorial committee.
The city committee is organized to
regulate affairs for city elections not
for territorial or county elections.
We hope there will be prompt action
on the part of every leading and live
Democrat in the city, as soon as the
county committee shall decide as to
the primaries and the convention.
Democrats, we must carry this cleo
ton. The majority of the voters in
this city are Democrats. We have
no doubt of that. Give the Republi
cans three fourths of the last Liberal
vote and then, if all the Democrats
unite, we can carry the district by a
fair majority.
But this will necessitate work and
united action Every vote ought to
be secured. There must be no apathy,
no indifference, no tagging. Everybody
should take pride in helping to carry
the district for the Democracy. 1t
will have more than local significance.
Its effect will be felt at the seat of
government. 1t is a critical time for
Utah and we hope the people here will
sense the situation.
A good, sound and popular Demo
crat must be chosen for this important
position and this critical contest. There
fore, prudent and competent delegates
must be selected in the primaries to go
to the convention. And then the over
whelming issue must be, who is the
man that can carry the election in
this district? That must be paramount
And personal likes and dislikes and per-
sonal ambitions and desires must be
buried, in view of the determination to
place a Democrat in the legislature for
the Fifth legislative district

1T WAS ExAcTLY RIGHT.

In response to the statement of The
Herald that the Republican party was
the author of every legislative act
against silver as money, a country
contemporary asks:
Was the Republican party the au-
thor of Cleveland's message TO the
special session? Was the Republican
party the author of the bill that de-
monetized silver at the late special ses-
sion of Congress?
The answer to these two questions is
No. But each of the questions con-
tains a falsehood by implication That
lis, the intimation. is, first that Cleve-
lands message to Congress called for
legislation against silver as money,
and second. that the repeal bill of the
special session demonetized silver.
There is not a line in the message
that warrants any such insinuation.
There is nothing in the bill which was
passed that justifies such a statement.
The message advised the repeal OF
an act that everybody condemned
which bought and piled silver bullion
up in bulk like pig IRON. and John
Sherman. with a large proportion of the
Republicans in Congress, approved of
the advice and voted to carry it out.
Will that be called action against sill
yer as money?
If the repeal bill demonetized silver
viii our country contemporary point
out that part of it which performed the
decentralization? Is not silver money
now as much as it was before the SEES
sion was called and the repeal bill was
passed? And have not those Republi-
can sheets which have told the people
that the Democrats in the special ses-
sion demonetized silver, deliberately
and shamefully deceived everybody
who has believed them. Or is our coun-
try contemporary so ignorant of the
wording and effects of the repeal bill
that it does not know any better?
Whatever decentralization" of silver
has been effected in this country was
accomplished in 1875 1t was a Re
publican act. planned and carried out
by Republicans and the Republican
party is responsible for it. When the
Bland-Allison bill was passed, silver
was partly remonetized. But the Sher-
man act of 1890, for which not a single
Democrat was responsible, knocked
that measure on the head and substi-
tuted the miserable makeshift'' which
its author. as suggested in the Demo-
cratic platform. was anxious himself
to have swept away
There would be no need to refer to
these undeniable facts again and again,
if it were not for the audacity and
mendacity of those Republican papers
which scruple at nothing, so that they
can misrepresent the Democracy and
cover up the wrongs of Republican
ism. IF they would tell the truth
once in a while" to use the words of
one of the crew. there would be no
necessity to expose their falsehood and
their folly
What The Herald stated was ex-
actIy true. and no one will deny it who
has any regard for right and respect
for veracity..
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-12-12


Since the foregoing was written,
later dispatches show that the policy
of obstruction was continued until a
pressure was brought to bear by Utah
people, or persons specially represent
ing the Republicans here, and SO ar
rangements have been entered into
for debate on the bill. In the langu-
age of our evening contemporary con-
corning the filibustering tactics that
have been pursued 1T doesn't look
like good politics.
The arrangement secured by Mr..
Wheeler for consideration of the bill
is eminently satisfactory and we may
look for it's early passage in the
House. Some amendments will prob
ably be proposed by the Republicans
and if they are any improvement on
the original bill they may be accepted.
But if they are only for the purpose
of obstruction like the factious opposi-
ton of the past few days, they will
be disposed of in short order when
there are enough Democrats present
to do business despite the flibustering
of their opponents.

THE LEGISLATIVE ELECTION.

There has been some question as to
the proper committee to call the con-
vention at which a. Democrat is to
be nominated for the House of Rep
resentatives from the Fifth legislative
district Some have contended that
it was the duty Of the city comniittee.l
because the city comprises that legis-
lative district. Others have maintained
tina it was proper for the county com
mittee to take it in hand, because
this is one district in the county of
Salt Lake. Another view has been

OF Interest to Mining Men.

Mr. L. c. Trent begs to announce
that he has arranged to open an Office
in the Knutsford block on the State
street side, where he will be prepared
to contract for the sale of mining ma
chinery with improved designs. He
will introduce to the mines of the west
many valuable designs and improve
ments in mining machinery that his
hitherto restricted connection has pre-
vented in the past He will offer only
the best and most modern machinery
and is now able to offer for the first
time the most durable metal for the
manufacture of stamp shoe roller
Mr.. Trent has in preparation SPLEEN
didly arranged catalogues designed to
illustrate and explain his machinery
and repairs.

in the News and in the Herald declared
the fact, is not only irnpudent on the
part of the Standard but exceedingly
fabulous. as the proofs are so clear
against it.
Monday mornings press dispatches
from Washington, which the Standard
has the same chance to read and
print as The Herald and Tribune have
contain this item, dated Dec. 10:
THE Utah admission bill will come
up during the morning hour tomorrow.
The Republicans will probably con-
tinue fllibustering and this will return
the bill to its place on the calendar"
Will the Standard attack the AS
ISOLATED Press. for ..misrepresenting
the Republican party?" Will it
wager that the telegraphic statement
lis false2" If SO how much? VIII it
not rather suppress the dispatch and
draw in its horns and close its I'M
guarded mouth?
The falsehood in this matter is the
attempt of the Standard to say the
Republicans would have voted for the
bill if there had been a quorum on
hand. Mr.. Calvin Reasoner says
there were ten more than a quorum.
So does The Herald correspondent. If
the Republicans had been SO ready as
the Standard makes out to help pass
the bill, they would not have fill
clustered against it.
The fact is notorious that the Re
publican party has, until quite re-
Gently, vehemently opposed statehood
for Utah. Republican members of
Congress have carried out the policy
of their party in this respect. If there
is any change of heart in that party
as to Utah it has not yet been practi
cally made manifest. Up to date the
Standard is only provoking the di-
rection Of further attention to that
fact, by foolishly and falsely attacking
The Herald concerning it, All the in
dications are that the Democrats in
the House will be on hand in a few
days in sufficient force to carry the
bill through even if all the Republi-
cans vote against it, which is improb
able in the face of the personal efforts
of some western Republicans on the
ground, who are trying their best to
show their party friends the folly of
approving it, in view of the fact that
the Democrats can and will pass the
measure without them and that their
opposition will give a black eye to
their cause In Utah.
The Democrats do not want any
''favors of the Republicans" now, on
the Utah question. They can do with
out them, thank heaven. But the at
titude of the Republicans in the House
shows that the same old bitterness of
hostility to Utah rankles in the aver
age Republican heart, and that justice
to Utah will be delayed as far as is
in their power. The facts are too
plain for any one but the Standard
to attempt to deny them.

The answers are. Yes. President
Cleveland signed the bill. The amount
necessary is work to the value of one
hundred dollars. When the assess
rlent work is done owners need not
stay on the ground at the period men

exemption law of 1898 operates the
same. in that respect. as if the work

But it is an inducement to better and
