SIGNAL CORPS SUCCESSES.

Recent Photographic Triumphs by the
United States Army.
The exploit of the signal corps in ex-
changing heliograph messages between
Pixies Peak and Denver, distance Of
100 miles, shows how wonderfully this
system has been developed in our army.
That it is a practical appliance in war;
fare was shown during Gen. Miles
campaign against Geronimo nine years
ago, when the news Of every move
ment of the hostiles and even of signs
of possible movement was flashed by
mirrors from point to point, one such
message travelling 700 miles from sta
ton to station in four hours. This
method of communication, where there
were no telegraph wires, not only
proved most valuable to the troops,
but, it is said, disheartened the hos
tiles when they learned of it's uses.

SHALL THE SCHOOLS BE CLOSED

The prospect Of closed schools in Salt
Lake county is not pleasant to contem-
plate But they cannot be kept open
without funds. These being exhausted in
some Of the school districts there is
only one Of two things to do. Get the
needful money for expenses or dismiss
the schools in those districts.
There is a considerable sum owing
to the school districts by the county.
The money is not in the treasury. The
borrowing power of the county has
been oVerrun. But if the proposed
bonds are issued. the old debts can
and will all be paid. including the
amount due to the school districts.
Which is the better way? To issue
the bonds and reduce the interest now
being paid from to per cent. and
keep the schools open, or to vote
against the bonds, keep up the high
rate of interest on warrants and close
the schools that are out of funds?
This is a question for the taxpayers
to consider. Prejudice goes a great
way. still, in the popular mind There
IS q reasonable prejudice when the
proposition is to run into heavy debt
by the bonding process 1t Is not so rea-
sonable when, as in this case, the debt
has already been incurred and the
purpose in view is to reduce the inter-
est upon it.
The schools ought not to be closed.
With the prospects of money from the
sale of bonds, the county court can
give such assurances of the payment
of the amounts due to the school dis
triets that they can be kept open. This
may be done, either by the acceptance
by teachers and others Of the obhga-
tons of the trustees, backed by the
agreement of the county court, or by
the trustees obtaining loans which will
run but for short time and be paid
as soon as the county is in funds.
Let the voters of this county weigh
well the situation and the responsible
tiles resting upon them, in deciding the
important question upon which they
viii have to cast their ballots on the
fifteenth day Of the present month.

BEHIND THE TIMES.

! The Inter-Ocean recently revived the
ancient tradition that Utah is indebted
to the Republican party for the priv
( lege of holding a constitutional con-
vention and preparing for admission
| into the Union. 1t does this on the
strength Of the stories stuffed into it's
correspondent while sojourning for
brief season in Salt Lake city.
The yarn that Senator Plat, who has
been the most bitter and inplacable
foe of the Mormon people and most
persistent opponent of statehood for
Utah, dragged from its pigeon hole
the statehood bill and forced the
Democrats to pass it is told in the
! editorial columns Of the Inter-Ocean
with all the gravity Of a belief in its
truth.
The correspondent learned that bit
Of fiction from Colonel Isaac Trumbo
himself or from one of his echoes. But
the Inter-Ocean refrains. from giving
the colonel the credit of compelling
Senator Platt to perform the pigeon
hole trick. by which the Democrats
we're compelled to pass the bill. In
emitting that. the Chicago Republican
organ leaves out the most fascinating
and important part Of the romance.
The purpose Of the article is to show
that, "The Democrats have claimed
that Utah will owe her admission to
that party but such is not the fact"
There may be some Republicans who
believe that kind of a statement, but
they are not to be found among the
people of Utah who are posted as to
the facts. They know that the Re-
publican party fought statehood from
start to finish. and only kept silent at
the last moment because it was made
plain to the Republicans in Congress
that they could not prevent itS and if
they ceased their opposition they
could claim credit for it and thus In
crease their chances of capturing the
new state.
That is the truth Of the matter and
it is Of no use, at this late date. for
any Republican paper to come in and
claim for the Republican party any
credit whatever Cor bringing Utah in
to the Union, except ceasing, at the
final point, FROM its long continued and
most vehement animosity against the
majority of Utah's people.
That the enabling act was. after
long years OF Republican opposition,
framed by Democrats, introduced by
Democratic Delegate. passed by a
Democratic House and Democratic
Senate, and signed immediately by
Democratic President, seems to escape
the attention of Republican organs
And all that they have to pit against
it is, the fact that when it was fore
gone conclusion that statehood was to
come, the Republicans in Congress
kept Still. and the fiction that they
Compelled" the Democrats who were
IN the majority to pass the Dem ocratic
enabling act.
All this has been discussed in these
parts and is very clearly understood.
The Herald would not have alluded to
1t again but for its Identification by
the Republican organ in Chicago,
which has always been off on the
Utah question and is now very much
behind the times and the political
procession.

TO, say So, 500, 000,G6O of gold and $780,
00o,009 Of silver. The fabric of values
rested comfortably on its double foun-
dation Of silver and gold. The people
everywhere unconsciously adjusted
and adapted their business plans and
operations to this condition Of things.

wheat, cotton, etc,-they created debts
and contracts to be paid and fulfilled
in the future, depending on their as
sets under the existing and established
order Of things to make good their en-.
gagements.
In 1873. and following, the CONNER
oial nations, yielding TO an epidemic OF
folly which now seems inconcelVaole
lunacy, decided to demonetize silver,
dispiacing it wholly as primary money
and retaining only small amounts IN
circulation as token currency Tor
convenience, and that usually depend
ing for its final value upon its legal re-
deemability in gold. In other words,
they undertook to remove one-haI the
foundation sustaining the values OF the
worlds real wealth and hoped that no
disturbance would result.
Under the operation Of the inexorabie
law just mentioned, one Of two things
had to happen--either the undermined
fabric must tumble in ruins or pro-
cess must be at once set in and cont1n-
he whereby the fabric would shrink in
proportion and adjust itself to the size
of its new and diminished foundation.

men everywhere has steadily dlrnln-

vented everybody from buying any
thing except necessaries ana dlsapied
all from selling
But while actual property has thus
collapsed in value to meet the new ba-
sis of values. the debts which that
property must discharge have not
shrunl1en by so much as the thickness
OF a hair. Result: One generation OF
struggling and once thrifty citizens
has been forced to the wall. and is now
passing through the process of tnan-
cial eXtinguishment-the little proper

by the way, don't want those proper
ties, and are themselves distressed over
loss of income and lack of means to
pay taxes on foreclosed realty.

SILVER CONVERTS.

The interview published in a Chicago
paper with General Nettleton on the
financial question has attracted consid-
cradle attention. This is not because
there is anything new and startling IN
the gent1eman'S remarks, but from the
fact that he is a noted Republican, and
was assistant secretary of the treasury
under President Harrison, they will be
of public interest. He must have
changed his own views materially, as
he says leading bankers and other
business men have changed theirs as to
silver.
He declared that the sentiment in
favor Of silver is not confined to the
debtor class. as some people suppose,
Said he:
Some of the bankers Of even conser-
Vative Boston are facing and prepar-
ing to welcome the inevitable return to
the double standard. A few days since
a friend OF mine had occasion to con-
fer with half dozen bank presidents
in that city, and to his surprise, every
one Of them expressed his readiness for
the change, and several went SO far as
tG say that if it we're to be choice be-
tween a continuance Of the present con-
dition and going to a silver basis, with
gold at a premium for a time, they
would prefer the latter.
This conviction is spreading. The
leaVen is not only working in America,
but it is evident that it is operating in
Europe. On the continent it ig very
active, even in governmental circles
In England it is extending among the
masses. And if there should come a
change of parties in power, we may ex-
pect that the Conservatives, if they
should succeed the Liberals, as is quite
probable, would make strong effort
in harmony with the friends of the
white metal in Germany.
The views of General Nettleton are
very clear and eoncisely put, and we
therefore reproduce the most important
part of the interview. They will be
endorsed by people of all political par
ties in the great west:
All accepted authorities agree that.
broadly and in the long run, current
values of commodities are substan-
TALLY determined by the volume Of pri-

is, the kind of money which in the last
! resort finally pays the debt.
For centuries, and down to about
1873, gold and silver in association and
in practically equal amounts of value,
had constituted this primary money
throughout the world. BY the opera
ton of law as ineXorable as the law
of gravitation. and cooperating with
| the law of supply and demand, the pri-
| ces of commodities had automatically
adjusted themselves to the existing
volume of silver and gold available for
use as money
