THE ANCIENT MARINER.

The Ancient Mariner Of our morning
contemporary continues to be much
wrought up over our article on the st.
Louis. The error in our article was in
calling the City of Paris the CITY of
Rome, and that was a slip of the pen.
The Ancient Mariner SAYS our neigh
Dor made it appear on Sunday morning
that the snip Getty of Paris had Just
been built by permission Of the United
States government on the other side"
We said nothing of the kind. What
we said was that the act of Congress
gave the American company "the righ.
to buy the City of New York and the
City of Rome City of Paris, and ad-
hitting them to American registry.
thus giving them the same rights as
vessels built in This country"
The important point is the granting
.of American registry rights to these
two foreign-buiit ships. Those rights
were conditioned on the building of two
similar vessels in this country. That
this was the essential point is shown by
what President Cleveland himself said
when the ST. Louis was launched.
| hope 1 shall not be accused of max
ing suggestion calculated to mar the
qualification which the occasion inspires
if ] remind you the ship we have just
launched was built in fulfilment of Goa
ditions imposed i'm consideration OF the
relaxation of our registry laws.
The Herald said:
The condition was accepted, ana the
St Louis is one of the boats fulfilling
that condition
Our contemporary should explain why
these conditions were imposed and why
accepted.
There is one frank. honest, truthful
in our contemporary article
1t is this: What We do not know
about seamanship and ships would
make very large book" An example
of this was given by it in its Mondays
issue when it said that outside the
cost of labor there is very little cost in

will furnish land of the finest quality,
with an abundance of water, to a
population of many thousands.
Our mineral resources are second to
those of no other state or territory,
and all they lack is capital to develop
them.
There is no longer any question about
the successful growing of the sugar
beet. The Lehi factory has proved that
beet sugar making can be profitably
carried on in Utah. The same thing
may be said of the manufacture of
Woolens and shoes. This territory
should become a great manufacturing
state
As health resort there is no better
place Our thermal springs are I'M
rivalled, while as bathing resort the
Great Salt Lake is unsurpassed The
climate is one of the best in the world.
All this applies to the territory in gen
eral
Now as to Salt Lake City in par
ticular. An hours ride on horseback
will take one from the midst of the
city to the mountains. 1t is very par
adise in which to make a home. AL
ready its charms are more or less
known, but they should be given great
er publicity. The chamber of COM
merce has done excellent work in the
past in this regard and should be en-
couraged by the citizens to continue
it in the future 1t has called a mass
meeting at the theatre this evening to
devise ways and means to further the
interests of our city. It should re-
ceive the encouragement of all. Salt
Lake City has a great distiny. Let her
citizens unite to work it out.

A NOTE OF JINGoIsM.

Nothing could have been more GER
tain than that so soon as the Republi-
cans recovered from the stupefaction
of their stupendous victory they would
begin to lay plans for all sorts of
schemes that would involve the expen-
diture of vast sums of money. The
Boston Journal has such a one. 1t
says:
This sweeping Republican victory is
bound to have a most important and
benehcent effect upon the maritime in
terests of the country. FOR one thing
it means that the grand work of Great
ing a modern navy adequate to the
needs of the second maritime power of
the world is not going to be inter
rupted.
The country has very good navy
now, thanks to Secretary Whitney's
policy when at the head of the navy
department, and which was continued
by General Tracy under President
Harrison's administration. When all
the ships now being constructed and
those authorized to be constructed are
finished, the United States will have
navy amply large for all
purposes. We do not occupy the same
position as England whose colonies
are found in all quarters of the globe.
and whose ships are upon every sea.
1t may be said that her life depends
upon the efficiency of her navy. The
Jingos there get up a scare over the
navy every few years and raise up
hobgoblins and dangers that exist only
in imagination. By them it is used
in parliament much the same as the
army is used in the reichstag. But we
are not situated as England is. We
have no colonies and few merchant
men.
If we had a large navy it is quite
likely that we should want to be going
around much as a bully who is weight
ed down with arms and who thinks
that nothing can happen in his pres
ence but that is intended for an in
suit to him and which he must avenge
on the spot that he may maintain his
reputation and position. Cities make
it an offense to carry concealed weap-
ons because those who carry them are
very liable to use them whenever any
dispute arises. What is but an angry
dispute in community where it is not
the custom to carry deadly weapons
but too often become bloody affrays
where it is the custom to carry them.
This may be said to be the case with
armed nations whether upon the sea
or linO0 the land
This country does not need a great
navy, and if we had one il would be a
constant source of danger as it would
have nothing in particular to do, ard
it is as true of nations as of indi-
viduals that the Devil always finds
plenty of mischief for idle hands to
do.
If the Republicans should inaugurate
a policy of building up a great navy
they should set the mark high. Eng
lands policy is to have navy equal
to the combined navies of any two ma
tons. As we should not be behind
England in any respect, the American
naval policy should be to have a navy
equal to the combined navies OF any
three nations. This would use up all
the SURPRISES the Republicans will
ever create

THE wArERwoRks RESOLUTION.

The City Council did a good thing
Tuesday night when it passed a reso-
luton declaring that the sale of the
city waterworks would be "most inim-
ical to the interests of the city" and
that it is the "policy Of this council to
hold and maintain inviolatG the peo-
pies franchise in this most important
of its rights
There has been some talk that a
scheme was on foot to force the sale
of the waterworks by the City Council
This gave rise to some apprehension
on the part of the citizens that the
idea might possibly be entertained by
the Council. The resolution of Tues
day sets that idea at rest. 1t not only
allays any apprehension that might
have been felt regarding the attitude
of the Council but it does more 1t is
a declaration of the policy of the city
regarding the waterworks, and this is
most important. 1t serves notice on
those who, if any such there be, may
have thought the present financial
condition of the city was such that
they could take advantage of it to
force the sale of the most valuable
thing owned or controlled by the city.
that it cannot be done The amount
Of water scrip that is outstanding is
growing less each year and when it is
once wiped out the city will derive a
steady and a handsome revenue from
the waterworks. The revenue from
this source will continue to increase as
the city grows.
Just at present the city. like its citi-
zens, is suffering from the effects of
the panic. They will eventually pass
away, and as private property will
gradually appreciate in value so will
public property. The city has the
means within its power to tide over
these hard times, and should not hest
tate to use them. We refer to the taxing
power. The Council should not hest
tate to use it for moment; in fact, it
is its duty to do so and not to let the
city become further and further in
volved in debt. This done, there will
never be any need to sell anything be-
longing to the city
The City Council has done public
service in passing the resolution de-
fining the city's policy in regard to the
WaterWorks.

UTAH'S ATTRACTIONS.

Whenever a territory becomes a
state its resources are always a matter
of interest to people throughout the
country. If Utah is an exception to this
it will consist in arousing more inter-
est than usual. While Utah has for a
generation past attracted attention
throughout the Nation it was on ac-
count of her social institutions and
not her material resources. Her social
institutions have been brought into
harmony with the ideas of the rest Of
the country. and that which will at
tract attention now viii be her re-
sources, and the facilities she offers to
those seeking homes and capitalists
looking for Investments
There are no more attractive valleys
than Utah's. Most of them are well
watered and the land of excellent quail
ity. Those that are not well watered
could be brought under cultivation by
means of reservoirs, and there are
plenty Of places that could be utilized
for this purpose. The opening up of the

WILL TT BE M,K1NLEyrsM.

On just what grounds the Repub-
leans won the election it would be
hard to say. During the campaign
they offered no plan for the future; it
was all denunciation of the Democrats
and what they had done. But the case
is different now. They have won and
so soon as they take control of Con-
gress they will be responsible. The
people want to know what they will
do.
The one great question that has agi-
tated the whole American people for
the past four years has been the tariff.
1t cannot be denied that they twice
condemned the Mckinley law. They
have just given the control of the gov
eminent so far as in their power lay
to the Republican party, the party
that enacted the Mckinley law. Does
this mean an Endorsement of the twice
repudiated Mckinley law? Evidently
such is the opinion of Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts. Speaking at Lynn last
Friday, he said:
Whatever the future policy may be-
William Mckinley, in one position or
another will have something to say
about it. There is nothing but McKin-
leyism in the whole country.
This view of the Senator's is one
that is bound to be taken up and dis
cussed pro and con by his party 1t
already finds favor with one of the
leading Republican papers of the coun-
try, the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Com
menting on the Lynn speech, it says:
The people have indorsed Mckinley
ism by the greatest vote ever given to
any ism named by it's enemies as re-
proach. ''McKinleyism' is a name in
vented by Democrats. but Endorsed by
the people as synonym of patriotism
If the people have just fndorsed Nc
Kinleyfsm ''by the greatest vote ever
given to any ISM then the logical
thing for the Republicans to do when
the Fifty-fourth Congress assemblies is
to re-enact the Mckinley law. When,
two years ago, the people. by their
votes placed the Democrats in power,
they took it as a command to repeal
the Mckinley law, and acted accord
ingly. The Republicans, it would
seem, must consider the verdict of the
people in their favor as implying some
sort of command. What was it? If
Senator Hoar and the Inter-Ocean are
right, then it must be to re-enact the
Mckinley law.
We sincerely hope the party will act
on this theory, as we believe it would
be its surest and swiftest road to de-
struction. McKinleyism will undoubt-
eddy play an important part in the
partys policy; what part we do not
pretend to say.
