From time to time Squedunk and other
towns Of the same grade in various sections
OF the republic have generously intimated
that they were willing TO serve as capital
OF the United States without taxing the
nation on the public buildings. and that
they would even present to the United
states the sites Of these buildings II hon.
ored by selection as seat of government.
The trouble about the Squedunk PROPOSE
ton Is that 1t comes about one hundred
years too late. A century ago the nation
selected this site. The people of the Dis
trict. as consideration on their part in the
agreement, virtually surrendered their
rights as American citizens to participate
In the national government. and presented
to the United States fve-sevenths Of the
area OF the city. including numerous lots,
which, when sold by the nation. supplied
the FUND from which most Of the original
public buildings were erected. Thus they
gave to the republic In effect its capital,
its public buildings and power Of exclusive
legislation over the gift. Could SQuedunk
do more? The nation. in consideration Of
this magnificent donation, declared this the
permanent seat of government; pocketed
the proceeds of lots sold, with the national
guaranty that Washington was to forever
remain the capital; and by the character
OF the city that 1t planned. as we'll as by
the terms of the bargain with the owners
OF the soil. and by the declarations Of its
representatives at the founding of the city
and a7terward. the nation showed an in
tention, which being acted upon by prop
erty owners and purchasers Of lots ripened
into an implied agreement. to build up a
national city at the nations expense on a
grand scale. irrespective Of the population
Of the District. So Squedunk. in tempting
Uncle Sam to alter his fostering relations
to the permanent capital Is proposing a
breach Of trust. an act Of bad faith, a
swindling disregard Of obligations imposed
by Justice and equity

Undeseryed Insinuatlons.

The insinuations that have been thrown
out frequently by the 'Liberal' organ,
that the ardor OF CALEB w. WEST for
statehood would cool as soon as he as
sumed the honors of the governorship,
received pointed rebuke in the speech
of Governor WEST at his grand reception
in the theatre. Internationally on his
part, he stamped with both feet on the
malicious charges, and gave renewed
assurance to the people of Utah that he
is sincerely at the front in the movement
for Utah's full emancipation.
Said he: az speak tonight OF state
hood. OF all things wanted, needed and
that should be had, statehood is upper
most. Will you, dare you speak against
it, territorial citizens?'' His appeal to
the obstruotionists to cease their opposi-
ton was pathetic in its heartfelt and
torcible language: "For Cons sake,
for your own sake, and for the sake of
the people among whom you live, give up
the fight and work with us for peace.
good will and happiness
Surely, many who have trained with
the faction that stands in the way of the
progress of Utah will heed the Governors
words, and join with the party which
suits them best and work for the liberty
which is bound to come. There are some.
of course, who belong to the class of the
incorrigibles, who will remain obdurate
and determined not to acknowledge them
selves mistaken in their course.
A Republican paper published in a
northern town, ignorant or obIivious of
the Governors remarks, said on Friday
morning: "Governor WEST has spent a
great deal Of time in Washington in the
interest of statehood for Utah, but it is
hardly probable that he will give that
matter very much attention in future,
since he has soft job now and might
be left out entirely in case the determine

Gladstone and BimetaI ism.

The grand old man of England has been
classed among the goldbugs by the fanat-
les on the silver question. They are so
extreme that they cannot regard with pa
thence any views in opposition to their
own, no matter how eminent may be the
possessor of those views nor how much
what he thinks or sees is entitled to re-
spect because of his ability and expert
ence.
But though GLADSTONE has made some
utterances which indicated his support of
the financial policy which has prevailed
in England SO long, he has once more
demonstrated to the world that he is ready
to adapt himself to changed conditions"
and to adopt advanced ideas when it is
evident to him that they are for the well
fare OF his country or the good OF man
kind at large. He is one of the very few
aged prominent men who are truly liberal
and progressive.
In the city of Edinburgh last Saturday,
the distinguished British statesman adj
dressed the people who returned him to
the House of Commons, on the issues OF
the hour. A deputation from the cham
Der of commerce of that city had waited
upon him, and explained that during the
past few months public opinion in Mid
Lothian had advanced rapidly in favor of
currency reform, and that the working
men of that district were convinced that
bi-metallism was an absolute financial
necessity. They felt certain it would
prove the only remedy for the farming
distress and the low wages, and urged
that what he would say would have
powerful influence in controlling the vote
at the next general election.
The premier's response does credit to
his head and heart. 1t must have good
effect upon other great minds that have
not heretofore perceived the needs of the
civilized world, nor the error of insisting
upon recommendation, in view of the adj
vances made in population and the in
crease and multiplication of public inter
ests and requiring an increase of money,
which is the life blood of the body polite.
Gladstone's endorsement of bimetallism
is one Of the most encouraging signs of
the times and it presages good for the
cause of silver.

The soisterous Atlantic

Is a terror to timid voyagers, scarcely less
on account of the perils of the deep than
the almost certainty of sea sickness. The
best curative of NAL de mer is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which settles the
stomach at once and prevents its disturb
ance. To all travellers and tourists,
whether by sea or land, it presents a
happy medium between the nauseous or
Intellectual resources of the medicine
chest, and the problematical benefit de-
rivable from an unmedicated alcoholic
stimulant, no matter how pure. The
Earring OF a railroad car often produces
stomachic disorders akin to that caused
by the rolling of ship. For this the Bit
tiers is prompt and certain remedy. The
use of a brackish water, particularly on
long voyages in the tropics, inevita bly,
breeds disorders of the stomach and
bowels. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
mixed with impure water nullifies its i'm
purities. Similarly it counteracts ma
larial and other preiudicial influences OF
climate or atmosphere, as well as the eff
fects OF exposure and fatigue. Use it for
kidney complaints, rheumatism and de-
bility.

Ogden DisconsoIate.

Ogden is in grief. She has lost the
Presbyterian university. That is to say,
the establishment will not be erected in
the Junction city. This is hard. Ogden
has been SO successful in the way of con-
crosses, and in securing lots of gratuitous
advertising, that she is beginning to
think that she is the hub OF Utah and
that Salt Lake is to be but sort of
suberb.
We have not the slightest disposition
towards jealousy Of Ogden or any other
town in the Rocky Mountain region, be-
cause Salt Lake has attractions all her
own which place her above comparison.
We are always glad to hear OF Ogden's
success. She is part OF Utah, and all that
benefits Utah is good for Salt Lake-the
capital and centre. But we do not want
any one town to monopolize all the good
things nor to get away with every desir-
able plum.
The board of trustees, elected to hold
the property and take charge of the or
ganization of the college, which is to
furnish "a thorough classical and scien-
tific course of instruction equal to any
institution IN the east,' decided at their
late meeting that the university building
must be erected in this city, although
very strong efforts were made to have it
located in Ogden.
1t appears that the board had no choice
in this matter, or rather they had no
power to decide differently. The Presby-
terry which appointed the trustees-five
ministers and four laymen, by resolution
adopted at springville March %, 1892,
provided ''that the college shall be located
at Salt Lake city, Thatsettled the matter
SO lar as the locality is concerned. Now
the only thing to be decided before prac-
tical operations are commenced is the site
for the building.
We sympathize with our ambitious
little sister in the north, but as her loss is
our gain we cannot mingle our tears with
hers. She has secured the cattle congress
for a permanency and with that let her be
for the present content.
