THREE MEN KILLED.
Fatal Railway Wreck Near Locust
Dale This Morning.
Special to the EVENING HERALD.

Special to the EVENING HERALD.
ASHLAND, June 6.-The Newberry fast
freight train on the Philadelphia & Read.
ing Railroad was wrecked by running into
coal train at the Keystone colliery about
half mile from Locust Dale, at three
o'clock this morning, and three men lost
their lives.
The killed are Oliver Bolts, conductor
Elwood Meyer, engineer and Edward
Klase, fireman. All the men resided at
Tamaqua and were members of the freight
train crew.
The freight train was running at high
rate of speed at the time and the VIZ ecked
cars of both trains were piled into a great
heap. The body of the conductor was
found soon after the occurrence, but the
bodies of the fireman and engineer were
covered by the wreckage and could not be
reached Several men of both crews were
injured,
Two stories as to the cause of the disaster
were sent out this morning One was that
the freight train got beyond the control of
the crew at the Summit and jumped the
rail at the keystone colliery. The other
and best authenticated story is that the
crew failed to observe the red lights dis
played by the coal train and crushed into
it.

THE SITUATION.

The Democrats of Utah have no
wounds to nurse and no grievances to
fret over. They have met the enemy
and have failed to conquer. Both
sides could not win. Having lost the
chief points in the contest, the Demo-
cratic party will now accept the sit
uation with complacency, and will do
its best TO aid the winners in estab-
fishing and promoting good govern
ment.
1t will only oppose such measures
as appear to be partial, unjust or det-
rimental in any way to the general
welfare Equal and exact justice to
all, special privileges to none" will be
contended for with energy. What
ever of influence Democrats possess,
officially or otherwise, will be exercised
for the common welfare, as against
class legislation and attempts to bene-
fit the few at the expense of the many.
The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der will be advocated, as ever, by the
party of constitutional equality.
The officers of the state will be sup
ported in the exercise of their proper
authority, with that respect and cordial
acquiescence which is due from Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike They will
receive that recognition from Demo-
Gratis which would have been accorded
if they had been the candidates of the
Democratic party, and all good citizens
will unite in the hope that Utah will
march forward under state rights and
opportunities with as much vigor and
success as though Democratic officials
instead of Republicans were at the
front.
Union, concord and a common desire
and impulse to make this state one Of
the greatest, strongest, most patriotic
and progressive in the Union, should
animate all parties and all creeds, and
partisan projects or sentiments should
not interfere in the smallest degree
with this general harmony. Let US all
be for Utah. now and forever!

GOOD FOR SAN JUAN.

The people of San Juan county have
won. after a severe and prolonged
fight in reference to their homes and
the title to their lands. In the face of
the influence of Colorado Senators and
Colorado money, Hon. ]. L. Rawlins
succeeded in preventing the dumping
of the Utes upon the soil which had
been redeemed and cultivated by the
hardy settlers in that region. The
Utes have been removed, and the
people have been able to breathe more
freely since the danger has passed
which menaced them for years
And now their lands are officially
thrown open for legal settlement, as
will be seen from the proclamation of
the Secretary of the Interior, Hon.
Hoke Smith. The Herald rejoices
with the courageous and spirited peo-
pie of San Juan county in this tri-
umph after so long and serious
struggle. They will be heard from as
a prosperous and progressive body,
when they have secured their titles
and had time to recover from their
hard contest. All hail to the settlers
in San Juan. and may wealth and
prosperity reward their endurance and
their toll!

THE SALT LAKE HERALD, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER s. 1895.

rectly from the judges of elections just
With this system voters exercise their
judgment, and particularly is this so
where the law requires the voter TO
scratch out the names of those candi-
dates for whom he does not vote. This
system does away with the ticket ped
dlers and "heelers' around the polls
completely. for there is no work for
them to dc.
AS the Australian system is a vast
Improvement on the one we have in
Utah so the voting machine is an i'm
provement on that. Candidates names
are all before the voter as he opens the
door Of the booth (Which unlocks the
machine) and when he selects the one
for whom he wishes to vote, he pushes
in the knob for that name which opera
ton registers a vote for that name and
locks all the knobs for all other candi-
dates for the same office. An entire
ticket can be voted for by pushing in
the knob for the general ticket, which
locks the other tickets entire as in the
case of an individual name Where
these voting machines have been used
it has been found that voting is facili-
tated. while when the polls close and
the last voter has voted, the result is
all added up and registered.
We trust that Governor-eiect Wells
will give the matter what attention he
can and recommend change in our
election laws in his message to the
Legisla ture

TROUBLE IN THE EAST.

The news from Armenia is Of very
disquieting nature for it indicates that
Europe is prepared to step in and man
age the Sultsn's affairs for him so far
as the treatment of Christians is con-
cerned. If this is done, it would be an
easy matter for Europe to find most
valid excuses for attempting other re-
forms; and if done on any considera-
bic scale, would most likely bring on
serious conflicts that could only result
in the discontinue of the Sultan's
troops, and perhaps lead to a quite gen
eral onslaught on Turkey and the driv-
ing Of her from Europe at least. If
that were done the possession of Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles would
be a cause of strife among the very
powers that would have accomplished
the expulsion of Turkey
1t seems almost inevitable that a
crisis has been reached in the history
of Turkey. She is so much nearer Eu-
rope and her civilization than formerly
that the undying hostility between the
European Christian and the Turkish
Mohammedan is made more marked
than formerly, and what seems an in
evitable conflict appears nearer than
ever before. Yet the Sultan has been
the Sick Man so long. and has always
shown such wonderful vitality and re-
Operative powers, that to predict that
the present is his last illness is haz-
ardous in the extreme.
Interference with him is less apt to
stir up a general war in Europe since
Russia has been pushing her trans
Siberian railways towards the Pacific
and she has found Judgment in Corea,
which she will no doubt make perma-
nent. This will give her a sense of
freedom and power that she has long
felt the want of, and not make her so
aggressive towards Turkey, thus being
a constant cause of alarm.
But with all Europe under arms any
serious trouble in any part is very LA
bic to spread and become general 1t
matters little from what direction the
spark comes that falls into a powder
magazine as the explosion is the same.

METHODS OF VOTING.

When our first state Legislature
meets there will be many things de-
handing attention and friends of vari-
Gus measures will be urging them as of
first Importance and deserving of prece-
dence over others. This is TO be ex-
pected. but of all measures that may
be brought forward none will be of
more Importance than that dealing
with our election laws. While there is
secret ballot in Utah still it is a
secret ballot of primitive form The
tickets have to be printed by the vari-
Gus political parties and upon them
devolves the duty of seeing that vot-
ers are furnished with them. 1t is an
Anticipated way of doing public bust
ness and should be superseded.
Not only is there the objection above
noted to the present system. but it is
one that makes the life of the voter for
blocks around the polls. as he goes to
cast his ballot, a burden. To pass be-
tween the army of ticket peddlers and
"heelers" is almost as bad as running
the gauntlet Every voter realizes this
and wishes it were otherwise. And it
should be.
Most of the states of the Union have
adopted the Australian ballot system,
and wherever 1t has been adopted it
has given great satisfaction and is an
acknowledged Improvement on the old
system. The state prints and furnishes
the tickets and voters get them d.

No HOPE FOR SILVER.

The verdict of the country as de-
silver. In the support given to the Re
publican or anti-silver party a cores
ponding opposition to free silver coin
age is exhibited. Even in Kentucky,
whilom silver state, the free silver
candidate for Governor has been de-
feated.
The additions that will be made to
the Republican cause in the United
States Senate will add to the silver
disaster, The Republicans will control
the Senate and that means the ap-
po:ntment OF John Sherman as chair
man of the finance committee The
two Senators from Utah, though silver
men, will have no practical effect on
the silver cause as they will be in the
minority of their party. With John
Sherman at the. head of the finance
committee there is as much chance for
a silver bill as there would be for a
full free trade bill in the Senate
John Sherman is a pronounced gold
bug, a 'bimetallist" who believes in
the gold standard With silver as sub
ordinate money SO far as it has been
coined. He was the prime mover in
the demonetizing measure of 1873 the
author of the purchase provision of
$780, which was designed, as he has
since confessed, to avoid a free coin
age bill, and one of the chief advocates
of the repeal of that measure and OPP
ponents of a free silver substitute. He
has the great body of his party behind
him, ready to back him in any move
ment against silver restorat ton
The silver men of the West who have
supported the Republican party have
virtually recorded themselves against
free silver coinage. There is no hope
for silver in the Republican party"
and so the elections of 1895 are a vir-
tual declaration against any step look
Ing to the rehabilitation of the white
metal. After while the masses will
have their eyes opened to this i'm
portant fact, and when they see how
they have been deceived on the silver
issue, they will turn to the party which
alone is likely to give them that relief
which is SO necessary to their material
prosperity. 1t is only a question of
time. But the cause of silver is in
definitely postponed.

NOW FOR STATEHOOD.

Let L be understood that notwith-
standing the Democratic party has not
achieved the victory it anticipated, it
stands today, as previous to the cleo
ton, in favor of free and sovereign
statehood for the people of Utah.
Whatever efforts have been made to
induce citizens to vote against the
adoption of the constitution, they
have not proceeded from the Demo-
cratic party. The votes that have been
cast against that instrument are not
party votes. They have come from
all classes of citizens. The returns,
however, disclose the fact that the
majority of those who opposed state
hood We're voters of the Repub-
lican ticket. Some feared the
extra expense, others were opposed
to woman suffrage. and still others
felt that in voting against statehood
they voted against the wishes of the
dominant church in this territory. The
great majority of the voters, however,
were not thus in the dark
The question now is, will President
~ANNC ASoOC HIS BLNCldiIclIOA anu
thus make statehood for Utah COM
plete? If the question turns on the
political complexion of the proposed
state, we see no reason why the procla-
nation should be withheld. It is not
supposed to be a party proceeding. AS
majority of the voters support the
constitution it becomes the duty of
the President under the enabling act
to so announce, and the state is there
by admitted and numbered with the
existing states.
The Herald believes it is the duty
of the President to act without refer
ence to the predominance of either
party in the new state. and that he
will perform that duty impartially and
honestly. The Democratic party of
Utah stands for statehood and liberty
today, and as a party will make no
effort to prevent the contamination SO
devoutly to be wished. Statehood for
Utah is a Democratic measure and will
be supported now as ever by the party
of equal rights and exact justice
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-11-08

the different parties, is that no dis
grounds. The Mormon voters have
manifested no partially to candidates
Of their own creed. The returns prove
that non-Mormons have been supported
equally with others. This shows that
1t is eminently proper to eliminate,
henceforth, the terms Mormon and
Gentle from political discussions A
mans religious faith or position
should cut no figure for or against him
as citizen or as a candidate for public
Office.
II may be thought that there has
been an exception to this rule in the
contest between Roberts and Allen,
seeing that the latter has run behind
his ticket so far. But his falling off,
it will be seen. occurs notably in this
city and county, where we know many
OF his own party, and they non-Mor-
mons, declined to vote for him for
sufficient reasons. It is not hostile
Mormon vote which cuts down his sup
port, although the friends and adj
nlirers of Roberts are many among his
own people
Another Pleasing feature added to the
reduction of the vote for Allen, is the
election Of so many OF the Democratic
candidates for district judges, includ
ing those for this judicial district.
This all indicates that the people, in
spite of party predictions. have yet
some regard for fitness. The election
of Judges Hiles, Howat and LIE Grand
Young is particularly gratifying. This
not because there is anything against
the Republican candidates as men Or.
as lawyers. but because the gentlemen
elected are so greatly ahead in the
qualifications and experience required
on the judicial bench.
That in a district formerly having a
Republican majority of over 1000, those
prominent Democrats should be elected
shows that the public welfare has
triumphed over party feeling, and that
there are many Republicans who re-
gard the common good more than party
interest. They have also administered
strong rebuiSe to the trading policy
of rings and cliques in conventions.
The course pursued in these particu-
lars is gratifying TO all people who
are for country first and party after
ward and who think that judicial ap-
pointments and selections should not
be governed by partisanship nor in
fuenced by the wire pulling tactics of
professional politicians. In this matter
the people of Utah have done we'll.
