He has also upheld the present admins

message, apparently aimed a final blow
at silver. Vest is bimetallist, and
therefore cannot endorse the Presidents
policy as outlined in his gold bonds
proposition.
When Grover Cleveland was restored
by the votes Of the people to the presi-
Dental chair, it was well known that
he did not believe in the unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio Of Is to 1
with gold. His understanding Of the
| financial plank in the platform of his
lparty of 1892, led him to move for the
repeal of the purchase provision of the
sherman act But in his view it did not
require the restoration of the free coin
age system. Others differed from him
and no doubt both classes Of the party
were equally sincere.

either party could not have been
elected President. It is doubtful if he

AGAINST ITSELF AGAIN.

For several months it has been an

of the Tribune that a conspiracy was
entered into by certain Democrats to
make Utah a Democratic state. whether

| Gratis or not This has been the excuse
for all the villainous charges that have
been made, and all the lodges that

was the provision in the Enabling Act

WOMEN LEGISLATORS.

There are three ladies who are occu-
plying seats in the Colorado legisla-
ture. It is a contemplate thing in the
newspaper men that the only informa-
ton we can CLEAN from the papers
concerning them is that they discard
their hats in the legislative halls, with
other facts of equally important char
acter. A vicious contemporary writes
of them as follows:
'"They are Mrs. Carrie Clyde Holly,
Mrs. Frances Klock and Mrs. Clara
Crissingham. Mrs. Holly is described
as a dark and pretty woman, with a
good figure, who wears her hair in, a
striking style. Mrs. Klock is indiffer-
ent in the matter of personal adorn-
ment Mrs. Crissingham is a blonde
with blue eyes, a stylish dresser, and
with a good figure"
This is all in line with the treatment
that woman receives in politics from a
certain class of newspaper critics. We
have no doubt that the Colorado ladies
who honor the legislature by Their
| presence as members, perform theil
! legislative duties as well as their male
associates. And it is to be hoped that
they will receive as fair recognition for
their services as if they were pets OF
the press, who spend a large part of tbs
time that should be devoted to public
work in earousing and having what is
popularity known as "a good time
If women are elected to public Office
they should receive public notice in &

sense in describing their personal ap
Epearance and dress to the exclusion O.
their labors for the state than if they

THAT is THE TROUBLE.

But taking another tack our con
temporary asks this question, which,
being put in decent form we will
answer:
If the Supreme Court decides the
matter according to the meaning and
intent of the law by what authority
does our contemporary conclude that
the Tribune will be displeased?
BY this authority: The Supreme
Court will have two points of law to
choose from. One the ruling of Judge
Bartch that the Commission should ap-
point a canyassing board to take the

CHEAPER COAL.

Al correspondent wants to know
whether we 'mean business" in call
ing for cheaper coal. We do not know
What he means by business but we
are thoroughly in earnest in our de-
mand, and in the conviction that coal
can be laid down in this city for four
dollars ton retail at fair profit to
the railroads and the dealers.
Our correspondent wonders why the
people in this city do not "make "a
move for cheaper coal" We presume
it is because they do not see, at pres
ent, any prospect of influencing the
railroad companies to comply with the
wishes of the public.
It was expected that the Rio Grande
Western road would cause such conn
petition by bringing in the Pleasant
Valley and Castle Gate Goals as would
fetch the price down to a fair figure.
| But while 1t has accomplished some
thing in that direction, the price is
now at least a dollar a ton more than
what it should be, considering the cost
Of mining, the cost of hauling, the
profits which should fairly accrue
from both, and the quantities which
are in demand.
An independent road to- the Coalville
mines would probably accomplish the
needed reform. We say probably" be
eause it is possible that even with
another direct supply, pooling might
maintain present prices, and also that
lin consonance with the boys theory
about the fish: 1.-THE big 'uns eats the
little 'uns," the Coalville road might
be swallowed up by the greater cor
poration.
The reduction recently made must
not be sneezed at. That is step on
the right road But it is not enough
We are not proceeding on the rule
that one concession creates demand
for more. We are firmly of the opin-
ion that regard for the building up OF
Utah, which the railroads have not
studied sufficiently, even for their OWL
Interest, suggests cheaper coal as one
of the necessities And we are also
convinced by facts and figures which
are reliable, that coal can be supplied
at peoples doors for four dollars
ton and still give good returns to the
coal companies and the railroads.

place and count the votes for the dele
gates to the convention was the now
defunct territorial canvassing board
for county and precinct officers; also
that the judges of election should con-
stitute that canvassing board; all of
which is not only self-contradictory
but is absurd, and whichever way the
Supreme Court decides it will be
against the ridiculous and inconsistent
legal 60 enunciations of the Tribune.
Now for another question asked by
our senile contemporary:
What has the Supreme Court done
that it needs that sort of patrOnizing
talk from a scrub newspaper? Would
it not be just as well for that par
ticular newspaper to let the Supreme
Court alone and let 1t run its part OF

FIXING ALL TO PIECES.

Our ''come-not-nigh-u nto-me-I-an-
holier-than-thou' contemporary does
not like the mild comments of The
Herald on its low insinuations against
the city council, and its insistance on
an absolute contract with the rail
way company for. the watershed lands.
We did not make them for its special
pleasure, but for the enlightenment of
the public and the vindication of gen
tlemen whom we believe to be above
the paltry and venal conduct imputed
to them.
If there is man among the city
authorities who would make bad
bargain for the city because he had a
railway pass from the company to be
dealt with, he is not fit for any public
position. And the intimation that this
was string on the city council that
ought to be cut was unworthy of the
paper that published it. as TO the
stone lands on the watershed, if there
are any they can be bought at special
rates. If not, the contract price, one
dollar and fifteen cents an acre, will
secure the whole tract. The city has
made one contract of the nature of the
present proposition. II this is made on
the same terms the troubles imagined
will not be found substantial. At
the same time. as we suggested, the
very best possible terms should be had
of the railroad company and the lands
should be secured, as they are a pub
lie necessity.
In flying all to pieces over this
matter our evening contemporary is
making holy show of itself And in
! imputing such paltry motives to the
city council it exhibits not only very
bad taste but spirit of petty SANDER.
