OGDEN's POWER DAM.

The prospects appear to be good for
the construction of the power dam at
Ogden, which has been talked of for
some time, and for the use of which
there appears TO be great need with
ample reasons to justify the enter
prise. A company of eastern gentle
men, including some capitalists and ex-
perts are now at the Junction city, hav-
ing come to Utah through the efforts
of Mr.. F. ]. Cannon, to personally in
spect the situation and satisfy them
selves as to the facilities for the works
to be erected. These gentlemen are: G..
A. Purbeck. the head of the house of
G. A. Purbeck & Co, of New York,
with branch offices at London, Paris
and Amsterdam; Colonel Thomas S.
King, consulting engineer of the New
York elevated railroads, and Warren H.
Loss, a contracting engineer we'll
known in Ame-ica, Mexico and Canada.
If after a. full examination it shall
be found that the large expenditure
necessary viii be warranted, the enter
prise will go on. This will result in the
establishment of many new industries
in Ogden and the infusion of new life
into those now, existing. The scheme
appears to be entirely feasible, and we
congratulated the people of the juno
ton city on the probable success of
this great undertaking.
The utilization of the fine water pow
ers of this territory for the application
of electric force, is one Of the sources
of power which will aid in the devel-
opment of Utah's great resources and
will add largely to the wealth and
prosperity of it's people. Every means
to this great end should receive public
encouragement.

DEVIL WORSHIP.


This choice bit of Sabbath piety is
from the Aspen. Colorado. Times:
Go to church today and pray that
the devil takes Cleveland before
night"
The source of inspiration to that
paper is evident from the deity to
which it pays its devotions. We are
therefore not surprised to find in the
same sheet of Sheol the annexed para
graph:
Hunger, privations and military force
may succeed in diScouraging the indus
trial army and but a few thousands
may be able to camp this spring in
sight of the dome of the capitol at
Washington. However, conditions that
made the CoXey army a reality and
caused distress and hunger in a nation
teeming with plenty, promises to be
little changed. The smouldering fires
of discomfort are burning on the
breasts of millions of people A few
more acts of oppression, another twist
of the thumb screws and these fires
may break forth with fierceness. that
no simple show Of power can extingu-
ish.
1t is a pity that the crowds of train
stealing commonwealers. on their
predatory march, do not make Aspen
one of their. camping grounds. A few
days experience with them would cause
the devil-worshipper of the Times to
pray that they might all be whisked
away by Satan to-where he wants
Cleveland to go.
But that writer would do well to
enquire into the causes of the con-
ditions that made the Coxey army a
reality" before he expresses any more
regrets that the hordes gathering at
Washington are not greater. No man
in his senses can believe that those
conditions sprang up like mushrooms
il a single season. They We're of

INrERNATIoNAL BIMETALLIssI.

1t does not follow, as some of our
contemporaries seem to think, that if
international bimetaIIism is encouraged
there will be a great change in the
ratio between silver and gold 1t is
true that many of the believers in
silver as money are led away by the
goldite error, that silver coin must
bear only the market value of the
metal it contains. But they are not
very numerous nor are they, in our
opinion, uneonvertible
It is possible that if international
bitemallism should be established by a
conference of the great nations, the
present ratio might be somewhat
changed. We would regard any such
change as a financial mistake. The
probability is that before very long the
ratio would have to be changed again
Just as soon as silver may be coined
as fast as the minis can turn it into
money the market value of the metal
will commence to rise. The experience
of centuries has demonstrated that with
free coinage of both metals the proper
ratio is about that which has been
established at the latest date by the
silver using nations.
The silver-producing regions would
be glad of a settlement of this ques-
ton, even at a moderate advance in the
ratio. It is possible that if an inter-
national conference should be held,
bimetallists would come to an agree
menf which would be a compromise be-
tween the 16 to 1 men and those who
want coin to bear its present market
value. But even that is not a foregone
conclusion. Agitation of the subject
ought to be promoted, and the right
financial doctrine should be vigorously
promulged. And it may be that silver,
by that means, will be restored to it's
status in America before 1873 and in
England before 1916.
Another point should be kept in
view. Neither political party is, as
whole, sound or united on the silver
question. The Republicans demonetized
silver. There are more of them opposed
to its free coinage now than there are
Democrats. The Populists are COM
mitted to the fiat paper money heresy.
Therefore, when Democrats talk of or
are talked TO about changing their
party because they want free silver
coinage, such talk is the rankest kind
of nonsense.
Democrats should work within their
party for free silver coinage, and let
Republicans do as they please. Bimet-
allism is bound to win. 1t has more
probability of full success by Demo-
cratic means than any other And by
the term bimetallism we mean that
kind that includes the free coinage of
silver. in the old American way and at
the present American ratio.

The Christian Commonwealth, Lon
don, suggests that some attention
should be given to the religious
tramps," which far exceed in numbers
the paltry hundred thousand of ordin-
airy tramps. They form a large sec
ton of the religious people of every
town. They loaf around among all
the churches. They join sect after
sect, church after church, and end by
being unjoined everywhere. This evil
is certainly a growing one. It will
grow worse yet for the simple reason
that, while it has its roots in the tickle
ness of human nature, it is actually
encouraged by sectarian influences.
Many good people become spiritual va
grants and are not themselves to blame.

thereupon forced their way into the

and helped themselves. The principal
telephoned for achievements. The
city marshal arrived with his deputies.
