AMERICANS ABROAD

Presented Before Large Audience at
Providence Opera House.
Sardou's new play, Americans
Abroad" was given at the Providence
Opera house last night. The comedy is a
pretty story of real life, simple and fresh,
dealing with the effort of an heiress to
win friends by her personal attractions
without thought OF her money. There
are situations of deep interest, aud still
there is enough of humor to satisfy with
out cloying.
The play is finely staged and is in able
hands. Mss Harrison, as Florence Win
throp the American heiress was forcefu,,
and in her accusation Of her lover for his
fanoied perndy was especially fine.

Gilmore IN the leading part OF the
American artist, poor aud proud" is
earnest and attractive, aud each one in
the cast deserves mention. Rarely are so
many capable people gathered without
presenting some weak spot. but
that is happily lacking here. Lights and
shadows are pleasantly mingled with just
enough intrigue TO give zest. IL is a
charming play and one that all will en-
Joy. Tho same bill Will be presented this
evening and tomorrow afternoon aud

More Western Congresses.

The trans Mississippi congress at Og-
den has attracted great deal of atten-
ton everywhere, and it is treated by the
press, as it should be, as a very import
ant gathering. We are pleased to know
that Salt Lake viii have the honor of q
visit from most of the delegates. They
will be truly and royalty welcome.
The result OF the conference of so many
able minds on the leading qaestions OF
the hour, must prove beneficial to the
country. The topics discussed will be
brought so prominently into view that
attention will be attracted to them in a
marked degree, and all that is needed to
make them practical realities is to con-
vince the country OF their essential i'm
portance. The Nicaragua and silver
questions will be better understood than
ever before by the general public.
There are to be several notable assem-
blies this year after this present congress
is over. The western slope congress is to
meet at Montrose, Colorado, June 21st.
The south western miners silver congress
convenes at Silver city, New Mexico, July
4th. Next comes the great mining con-
gress in Salt Lake city, September 18th.
Lastly, the irrigation congress at Los An
geles, California, October 10th.
All these meetings will be of value to
the interests OF the great west, and none
of them should be lost sight of. The del
egates sent to them should be, as at the
congress now in session at Ogden, repre-
sentative and able men, who can present
subject in forcible manner, believing
in what they advocate. 1t is not enough
to have talent. Sincerely must be behind
it, to give that ability force and carry
conviction to others. Preparations should
be made in time to ensure success to all
these great gatherings of notable men to
promote the public welfare.

Coal Products.
living.

The product of coal in Wyoming in
creased last year largely over the output
of the year before. The state mining in
spector, in his annual report. shows the
amount to be 2,SO4, 449 tons, as against
2,OO2, O36 tons in 1891, and the increase in
value to be "a, 214, 2SS. rs, as against 50, :
S72, AS. so for 1891. This is a financial
advance of more than hall million
dollars
But the force employed to handle the
coal has been less while the quantity pro-
duced has been greater, so the profits on
it have been increased. In 1891 the num-
Der Of hands was 8, All while in 1892 they
were reduced to 3, 142. However, we have
not heard that the price of coal to the
consumers has been brought down soil
tary cent.
Wyoning's coal mines are one of the
chief sources of her wealth, and they
might be greater If industrial mining
could be carried on without the COMPETE
ton of the powers connected with the
railroads, which are too formidable for
the small mine-owners. The product OF
the little mines that are not required I'M
der the state laws to furnish particulars
is not given in the foregoing figures.
Utah's coal mines are not likely to be
more fully developed until railroad COM
munication is had with them independent
OF the big lines. The Grass Creek mines
ought to be worked to their full capacity.
The Emery county mines ought to be
opened and help to supply the market.
Other deposits should be brought into
use. But they are Of little utility now
and will not be until there is revolution
in railroad affairs IN this mountain region.

When the habit is confirmed, neither
reason nor persuasion seems to have any
effect; The law should be enforced in re-
lation to selling cigarettes to boys, but
we do not know of a public officer who
is likely to take any steps in reference
to it. There would be no trouble in de-

The Suffrage in Belgium.

The overturning in voting affairs at
Belgium is victory for the common"
people, but not so overwhelming as
might be supposed from the dispatches
which brought the news to this country.
Still, it is triumph, and is the more i'm
portant because it will probably prove
the precursor to more sweeping change
to be soon effected.
The chief concession is that every male
person over % years OF age can hereafter
cast one vote at all elections. Property
holders who pay direct tax of the sum
of eight dollars can vote at 81 years of
age; that is a constitutional provision
which has not been abrogated. Thus a
money qualification gives four years. adj
vantage.
There are some other features of the
election law, as it now stands, which can
not be entirely satisfactory to the adyo-
Gates OF universal suffrage, and they will
not be content with these provisions very
long. Plural voting Is permitted in Bel
GUM under these conditions.
Nobody can cast more than three votes.
But an additional vote, to the ordinary
vote now permitted is allowed to male
persons who are or have been married,
and who pay a government tax of at
least five francs. To every male person
who owns real estate of at least 1000

A Silver Day.

The proposition made at the Trans
Mississippi congress to have a silver day
at the Worlds fair is good one. If ar
rangements can be made for it with the
commission and managers it ought to be
carried out. But only tirst-class advo-
Gates of silver as money should be put
forward on that side OF the question.
Only those arguments that are irrefutable
should be used. and no figures should be
cited that are not absolutely correct.
The vast majority OF people in the east
and no inconsiderable number in the
west, regard gold as the monetary stand
ard and need much light to enable them
to see the true position of silver. Any
thing advanced in favor of the white
metal that is irrational or far fetched, OF
that viii not bear the closest scrutiny
only tends to confirm them in their no.
tions. 1t is for that reason that the HER
AID deprecates the wild and sometimes
absurd theories put forward by fanatics
on the subject. The speakers at Chicago,
if the silver day is appointed, must be
clear headed and not extravagant orators.
Much patience will have to be exercised
toward the opponents of silver coinage
who act from misrepresentation OF its
necessity and effects. The gold specula-
tors probably know better and act worse.
But there are millions of people in the
east and in Europe who regard the pro-
posed unlimited coinage of silver as
great financial heresy, fostered by owners
of silver mines for selfish purposes. They
need reasoning with, not roasting, facts
not theories, demonstrable arguments,
not fanciful notions and rabid denuncia-
tions.
A silver day at the Worlds Fair would
afford an excellent opportunity to dis
seminate truths in regard to the white
metal. its demonstration and the effects
of that wrong, the relation of silver to
the worlds markets, and the absolute
necessity of the money which free coin
age alone can bring; and it would dis
tribute seeds of knowledge which would
afterwards be scattered throughout the
civilized world. By all means let silver
have it's day.
