A TRUSTWORTHY MOVEMENT.

The movement in this city by the
Y. M. and Y. L. I. A. for the estab-
ishment and maintenance of reading
rooms, lecture room and gymnasium, is
a step in the right direction. OF course
it is not novel. These forms of recre-
alton have been in use by the 7. NJ.
G. A. and have been the means of do
ing great deal of good. The associa-
dons that have now adopted the plan
will doubtless carry it out to gratifying
success
Any associate or movement which
people away from frivolity, bad COM
pany and evil habits must prove of
value to the community. That cannot
be done to any great extent unless
there is an element of amusement or
recreation mingled with instruction and
culture. The youth of every commu-
nifty crave pleasure and relaxation, and
they will seek for it in other company.
Moralists will argue that there should
be no pleasure without instruction.
That is all very well as a theory, but
the experience of ages shows that it
does not work in practice. Amusements
which are harmless. even if they are
only amusements, are better than those
that are associated with vice or with
questionable company. If they can be
brought into proximity with something
really elevating they will accomplish
their true mission.
The Puritanism which forbids all re-
creation that does not teach some
thing, or which being innocent in it
self has been associated with harmful
practices, is "a barrier to true progress
and chain on liberty. Billiards, bowl
ing, chess, cheQuers and other games
have nothing in them inherently evil
They have been associated with drink
ing and gambling, but the wrong is in
these practices and not in the games.
If associations formed for the i'm
provement of our youth can use the
good and refuse the evil keeping them
entirely distinct, adopting wholesome
and innocent amusements, but forbid
ding everything bordering on vice or
excuses of any kind, and linking them
with means of culture and progress,
mental as we'll as physical, the result
will and must prove beneficial.
We hope the new movement of the
associations which took place on Mon
day evening will be followed up, until
there shall be provided for our young
people places for recreation and enjoy
ment coupled with means of moral and
intellectual improvement, so that none
need stray off into forbidden paths to
seek for fun or indulge in amusement
1t should receive the cordial support
of all who favor the welfare and ele-
walton of the youth of this city and OF
our coming state.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican National committee
has selected St Louis as the place for
holding the Republican national con-
vention next year. and there it will
meet June 16, 1885, 1t is a notable place
for holding national conventions and
knows how to handle them to perfec-
ton. 1t was there that Tilden was
nominated in 1876 and it was there that
Cleveland was nominated in 1884.
We wish the convention could have
come West. that is to the Pacific coast
Location has very much to do with
influencing the sentiment Of a conven-

had great influence in broadening
the views Of the delegates on many
important matters, and particularly on
the money question. Still st. Louis is

PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYsELF.

Our neighbor up the street should
make its dispatches correspond, or else
not publish a contradiction in the same
column. In a, special it stated yester-
day that a certain prominent gentle
man was a. guest of Senator Elkins
state dinner. In the same column the
Associated Press gave list of the
guests, and the gentleman'S name was
not in it.
Indeed. Our contemporary down the
street wants The Herald to copy the
tactics sometimes resorted to in that
office, does it? Which dispatch would
our neighbor change in order to make
them correspond; the special or the AS
sociated Press report? The Herald is
not in the habit of doctoring its special
reports or the Associated Press dis
patches The sort of morality our
nefghbor attempts to teach The Herald
may do very we'll for the Tribune, but
it will not suit US; We will have none
of it
Bzt is there any very great contra
diction'' in the two dispatches? One
mentions a gentleman as a guest at a
dinner, the other onits his name. Ter
rible, is it not? We have known of
gentlemen and ladies being present at
a, state or fashionable gathering and
their names did not happen to be pub
lished Did that prove they were not
there? The reasoning powers of our
neighbor down the street appear to
be growing smaller by degrees and
considerably less every day. But let
us see how our mentor is off itself for
real contradictions. In the same issue
Of the Tribune which contains the i'm
moral advice about a contradiction
that does not contradict, are the fol-
lowing irreconcilable statements:
Hoyt Sherman, jr., of the Utah COM
mission, arrived today from Salt Lake,
bearing with him the certification of
the returns of the Utah election. J. R.
Letcher is expected within a few days,
when both, with Delegate Cannon, will
wait upon President Cleveland.
That is from the Tuesday Tribune's
Washington special dispatch. This is
from it's local columns of the same
date:
It was reported yesterday that ]. R.
Letcher, who left for the east on Sum
day evening, would not reach Wash
ington for ten days or more. The ex-
PLANTATION given was that he intended
to visit relatives on his way east As
Letcher is conveying the copy of the
constitution and the certificate of the
vote by which it was adopted, which
are to be submitted to the president
the examination of the documents by
Cleveand will not occur before the end
of next week, unless the desire of
Letcher to mingle with his relatives
and thus prolong the existence of the
Utah commission, has been exagger-
ated.
Why did not our neighbor down the
street make its dispatch and it's local
correspond" cor else not publish a
contradiction in the same issue?"
The dispatch, as usual with the
news" sent by "Ananias," was wrong.
The local remark while containing the
truth as to the bearer of the returns.
was in it's comments malicious and
Trfbuneish; that is, mean and vicious
to the lowest canine degree. When the
editorial columns Of the Tribune are
without contradiction" it should f1v
flag in token Of triumph: it would be
q glorious exception which consistent
people would appreciate.

the center of large populat ton far
more friendly to silver than is Chica-
go or Pittsburg. No doubt a determin-
ing influence in the selection of st.
Louis was the fact that Missouri is at
least doubtful state, and the hope
that the holding of the convention
there would tend to wheel the state
into the Republican column next No
vember.
The question now is, Where will the
Democratic convention be called for?
1t is more likely to go East than to
come West. as the terms are under

JAYS TREATY AND JINGoIs,I.

On the 10Th of this month it will be
a hundred years since Jays treaty, the
most celebrated in our history, was
signed. That was a triumph of peace
after long war, and it has been pro-
| posed to celebrate the anniversary in
a fitting manner. 1t would be absurd
to celebrate the hundredth anniversary
of that event when there is such a
spirit of jingoism abroad in the land,
when men in the national halls of leg
islation are Selling every opportunity
| to twist the tail of the British lion and
! irritate a great and friendly nation.
! This country has no special grievance
! against England, yet there are, be it
said with sorrow, many who would well
come q. war with that country. This
| is too great a country to play the part
of the bully, yet that is the policy the
| jingoes would force upon the admins
tration. And it is well to say in pas
sing that the jingoes do not all be-
long to one party. The Monroe doc
trine, truly American doctrine and
one that has the support of the people
irrespective of politics, is made the
preteXt for all this war-like talk SO
far has this talk gone that men are
offering their services in case of war
with England. Not only this, but we
find the Chaplain of the House of
Representatives almost praying for
war. At the opening of the session of
the House he prayed in this wise:
Heavenly Father, let peace reign
throughout our borders. Yet may we
be quick to resent anything like an in
suit to this our nation. May prosperity
smile upon our land, and peace and
happiness come into every home. So
may thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done on earth as it is in Heaven.
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Had he prayed for wisdom and COM
mon sense it would have been much
more appropriate than to ask divine
assistance that we may "be quick to
resent anything like an insult to this
our nation" A nation, like an in
dividual, will never have to look far
for an insult if it is engaged in the
business of hunting insults. Were the
English press and public men to
berate the United States as a portion
of our press and public men berate
England, the war spirit in this country
would be so rampant that it would be
a most difficult thing for any admins
tration to prevent it taking the form of
actual 1llostilities. Some day England
or some other nation may take our
jingoism seriously and then the
country will either have to make a
most disgraceful retreat or engage in
a most disastrous war, for no matter
what its issue. it would still be disas-
trous. And there are signs that such a
day is not so far distant when so in
f1uential journal as the Journal des
Debats, commenting on the Venezuelan
dispute, says:
In spite of its great industrial power.
the United States does not possess the
military and naval forces which after
all are at the bottom of every diplo-
matte discussion which is carried
rather far.
If the United States are going around
with chip ON their shoulder, seeking
quarrels rather than peace, they will
not be fulfilling the destinies dreamed
of by Washington and Those VITO
founded this nation.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

The latest from the disputed Alaskan
territory is that the Canadian govern
ment has arranged for a mail service be-
tween Juneau and Forty-nnile creek, to
begin next week. If these places are on
United States soil this action of Canada
is in direct contravention of our laws
and establishes claim of adverse pos
session. If the temper of the Alaska peo-
pie is still as hot as was indicated by
recent dispatch there is danger that they
may dispute the right of the Canadian
officials to transport the mails, and an
result. In fact, our relations with Eng
land appear to be more violently strained
in this matter than in the Venezuelan
affair. The situation calls for both as
tute diplomacy and prompt legislation

SALT LAKE A CANDIDATE.

A new candidate has come into the
field. and that is Salt Lake City. Patrick
H. Lannan. of the Tribune. of that city,
has put in a plea that Salt Lake City
should have the convention because it is
the halfway house between the east and
the west. He says they can seat 15,GGO
people in the tabernacle, or twice that
many in the pavilion on the lake, and
can feed and house any number that may
visit the place. This effort of the Nor
mon capital and the new state comes late
in the day, but it has some attractions.

delegates, even, and if the Salt Lake
boom had been started earlier it might
