The Spelling Match at Y. M. g. A..

H.. A..
Last Tuesday night the lecture hall of
the Y. NJ. q. A. building was crowded
by the citizens of Clifton Forge to hear
the spelling contest between twelve
ladies and an equal number of gentle~
men. The ladies had been studying
hard from the time they threw down the
gauntlet till the night of the contest,
while the gentlemen had been studying
what they were going to do. 1t did not
need prophet to foretell the result, be-
cause the ladies were nearly all school
teachers and their opponents had passed
the school boy age.
Judge Moore gave out the words, and
Mrs. F. H. Herring was referee, with
Mrs G. X Anderson and E. A. Snead as
scorers and Sidney Fitch time keeper.
The rules adopted were to spell one
hour and the side that missed the fewest
words to be declared the winner. At the
end of the hour the score STOOD 16 to AZ
in favor of the ladies.
Mr. H. Thane Miller, of Cincinnati,
sung two songs, after which the ladies
and gentlemen tested their abilities in
a pronouncing match. in which the ladies
were again victorious.
Refreshments were served in the next
room, after which Mr.. Miller sang several
pieces.
The net receipts amounted to about $45.

TOM REEDS TALK.

EX-Speaker Reed opened the Republi-
can campaign in Maine at Old Orchard
Saturday. His speech was addressed
chiefly to a review and condemnation
of the new tariff bill This was to be
expected. More than this Reeds
speech sounds the keynote of the whole
campaign.
He pays tribute to the "conserva-
tive senators" and says their action
was the result of the business interest
that surrounds them. 1t is the duty
OF all legislators to consider the bust
ness interests of the country, but these
conservative senator's saw nothing
but few interests and ignored the
country at large.
When Reed says that instead of re-
alizing the first great principle of
craftsmanship, that which ever is to be
done in the world has got to be done in
accordance with the wishes of the peo-
pie who live in it, the gentlemen in
charge of the tariff bill in the House
of Representatives undertook to ignore
the varied interests Of the country and
to mould a tariff bill not in the interest
Of the nation, not in accordance with
the wishes of the people, but in accord
ance with certain theories which they
thought might possibly fit their dream
Iof ultimate free trade" it is the boldest
effrontery. Does he ignore the issues
before the country in the campaign of
1892? The command of the people
than was to reform the tariff and re-
lieve them from the burdens of Nc
Kinleyism. If the tariff bill just pass
ed is not in accordance with their
wishes it is because it fails to reduce
the tariff sufficiently Reed talks as
though the Republicans had been elect
ed two years ago to reform the tariff
instead of the Democrats.
His solicitude about wages being put
upon lower plane is very refreshing.
Under the Mckinley bill they were not
even on lower plane; they were al
most entirely shelved. Perhaps this
talk about wages being on lower
plane is one of his jokes, for his fame
rests on them more than on his states
manship.
His whole speech is the typical Re
publican speech and his position in his
party alone gives it any Importance
It also tends to settle the issue between
the two parties-the tariff-and nothing
could be more welcome to the Demo-
Gratis. Tariff reform is their 1. H. S.

DEFECTIVE ARMoR PLATES.

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, in her address
at the Tabernacle yesterday afternoon,
referred, among other things, to the
armor plates scandal. She said that
the blame for this had been laid on one
and then on another, but the ones to
blame were those who had the men
make the defective plates. She told in
an eloquent way how these plates had
been put on the ships of the new
navy of which we are all so proud"
and that through these defects the
ships on which the plates were placed
were liable to go down in mid-ocean.
Then she said that next summer the
people of this territory would build a
ship of state in which all the people
were to sail. And then she warned the
people against putting any defec-
tive plates on their ship of. state. 1t
was happy illustration and most apt,
so apt that it will serve to illustrate
another point.
The defective plates on the ships of
the new navy were made by the Car
negle company. The chief owner of
those works has been for many years
very prominent Republican and has
been able to have the tariff on steel
and iron rails framed to suit himself
and others engaged in the same indus
try. He has by this means grown
wealthy far beyond the widest dreams
of most men, and yet having amassed
this wealth through the favors grant
ed him by the government he furnishes
to that government for the ships Of its
navy defective armor plates that more
or less imperiI it. There have been no
defects in the protection he has re-
ceived, but he furnishes to the govern
ment for it's war ships, upon which the
safety of the country in time of trouble
with foreign countries must largely de-
pend, defective armor plates. All this
is the outcome of Republican paternal-
ism, commonly called protection.
Mrs. Foster warned the people OF
Utah well. Beware you put no defective
armor plates on your ship of state and
remember that the Republicans have
furnished this kind to the United
States navy and they will furnish
them for Utah's ship of state if they
get the opportunity.

REPUBLICANS AND SUGAR.


On no one item of the tariff have the
sugar. Going before the people and
predicting dire disaster if the iniquit-
Gus Mckinley bill were in any way
touched; saying that all the WON
derful growth of the country during a
third Of a century was owing directly
to protection, they have for the past
three years held up free sugar as the
great blessing Of the Mckinley bill To
do this was to adopt a Democratic doc
in support of the theory that the coun-
try would go to ruin without protection.
But what do these same inconsistent
Republicans do when the Democrats
propose to put a tex on sugar for reve-
nue. only? They make a great hue and
cry and proclaim from the house tops
that the people are being plundered for
the benefit of a trust. Never were men
so outraged as these same calamity
howlers. They would have made the
people believe that their sole OBJ
ject in life was to work for the welfare
of their fellow men. The opportunity
" leSI Iu0lI SllCtl1ly w ndL QlQ
they do? When the supplemental tar
ifs bills were passed by the House and
sent to the Senate, these same Repub-
licans united with the Democratic sem
ators who had refused to put sugar on
the free list and defeated the very
measure that would have given the
people free sugar. Never before did
hypocrisy stand so completely I'M
masked. Why did they not do that for
which they blamed the, Democrats for
not doing? Because they are the crea-
tors of the trusts they so vehemently
denounced. They have proven that
they were pot calling kettle black On
this subject that staunch Republican
paper. the Philadelphia Ledger, says:
The Republicans will, of course, OPP
pose the bills. although they are in a
delicate situation as regards the sugar
question, indications not being lacking
that they are quite as much i'll love
with the Sugar trust as are the wicked
Democrats, as the Mckinley act is
even more favorable to that sordid
monopoly than the Wilson bill.
Their position is truly delicate; it is
the position Of people who talk with
two tongues.

q Republican administration BY Re
publican judges. Nobody complained
at that. Why should there be a hue
and-cry raised because the idea has
been advanced that the new Commits
sioner ought to be Democrat?
1t is one Of the perversities of the
local Republican organ to condone ev-
erything Republican and find fault with
everything Democratic. But we presume
what that once powerful bulldozer will
say on this or any other matter will
count for nothing nowadays. Hence
its grabbed bitterness and persistent
croaking.
But while it may be reasonably
expected that the man selected for the
position mentioned shall be a good
Democrat, the other qualifications nee
essary must not be lost sight of. We
do not maintain that his politics shall
be the first consideration. On the con-
trary fitness is the chief qualifica ton.
A competent Republican should be pre-
ferred to an incompetent Democrat.
The gentleman chosen should be one
having experience in both theoretical
and practical education. He should not
be mere theorist with peculiar no
tons, nor a mere plodding teacher by
rule without originality. A thinker and
yet a scholar and a practical pedagogue
is wanted, one whose ideas of educa-
ton are up to the modern standard He
should not be a very young man, be-
cause experience is needed. Nor should
he be SO advanced as to be unable or
disinclined to make active and diligent
inspection of all the schools in the ter
ritory, to travel everywhere in his
sphere of duty, and to personally watch
over the educational interests of the
people.
A bright active, diligent, well-inform-
ed and practical man, without strong
prejudices and competent to lay hold of
all the duties of the position, should be
had in mind by the court, and personal
favor or a desire to please or accom-
modate friends or supporters ought not
to cut any figure in the matter.
Let us have a thoroughly efficient
man who will not shirk the work re-
quired of him under the law, and who
will take pride in promoting the educa-
tional interests of the territory, and
the public will be content
