THE SCHEME MUST BE DEFEATED

The scheme disclosed in the dispatch
to the New York World from Washing
ton, D. c., which will be found in our
telegraphic columns, is of deep inter
est to the people of Utah. For long
time the eyes of many of our bona f1de
settlers, particularly young men seek
! ing home of their own within our
borders. have been turned in the direc-
I ton of the Indian reservation east
ward, which is expected to be thrown
open for settlement under the land
laws as soon as the terms of the laws
have been complied with in the mat
ter of the claims of the Uintah and
! Uncompahgre Indians.
There has been much delay in the
! has been viewed with Impotence by
those who expect TO obtain land in
that region. We are not among the
number Of those who regard this delay
as Intentional, either on the part of
the Commissioners appointed by the
government or of the Secretary of the
Interior. There are certain formalities
and agreements which must be en-
tered into that the terms of the law
may be fulfilled.
The death of Captain Davis. one Of
those Commissioners. leaves d vacan-
cy which ought to be filled by some
resident of this territory. If a good,
reliable and honest man. familiar with
the country and what is due to both
the Indians and the whites, could be
selected to fill this place. the appoint
ment would stand in the way of the
plot which has been Matched in the
East by capitalists to secure posses
sion of the most valuable portions of
the reservation.
1t has been well known for some
time that powerful corporation was
1t work endeavoring to obtain control
of those rich deposits of gilsonite
which abound in the eastern portion
Of our territory, The alarm sounded
IN the dispatch to which we call atten-
ton has not been made too soon. Steps
should be taken at once to head off
the attempt to control the appointment
of the Commissioner who is to fill the
place of the late Captain Davis. The
President should be appealed to as we'll
as Secretary Smith to appoint Utah
man of brains and reputation. Intend
ing settlers also should be on the
alert SO that the intruders who are
said TO be representing those eastern !
capitalists may not succeed in accom-
plishing the scheme which is now ox-
posed.
Utah lands are needed by Utah peo-
pie. OF course, we do not want and
have no right to endeavor to exclude |
others from entering our borders and |
obtaining legitimate possession of lands
for their own use, but everything law
full should be done to prevent mere
tools of powerful eastern corporations |
from gobbling up the valuable deposits |
which belong to the state of Utah. The |
Governor and other influential officials |
should take hold Of this matter with
out delay.

BETTER THAN GREExBAcKs.

Occasionally, not very often, far
man OF prominence in the east, some
man familiar with money and the
theory Of money, says something
about silver that shows he is not alb
solutely gold-bug crazy. Such a man
is Banker e. c.. Benedict, the intimate
friend of Mr.. Cleveland, whom he has
recently been yachting with. In re-
cent interview he expressed himself
very freely on silver and the green
back, that species of currency which
some people seem to think prevails in
heaven itself He boldly declares that
unless the Democratic party comes
out squarely in its platform in favor
or the retirement of the greenback
currency, [ will vote against it and in
FAVOR OF the party which does under
take it." He says that the greenbacks
are the cause of so much of our
financial trouble This is a fact that
IS recognized by all who have given
the matter any thought, and Mr.. Ben
edict sums UP the situation as it is
when he says that the "greenback is
valueless in times of need as a cir
culating medium and serves only as a
pump to draw the gold from the treas
ury''
But what has Banker Benedict to
say regarding silver? He has this to
say:
"A silver dollar not worth 60 cents
is bad enough. but it is worth more
than greenback, because it has some
intrinsic value. The first thing to do
to get sound currency is to wipe out
the worst form in existence Almost
anything would answer in its place.
This is not very complimentary to
SILVER, but it is more complimentary
than what was said about the green
backs. 1t admits that there is an in
trinsic value in silver, while the
greenback is a neutrality-suspicious. per
so. Ii the bullion value of the silver
dollar is but so cents, is not one of the
very causes of this state of things
tnese same greenbacks which serve
as a pump to draw gold from the
treasury" Our whole currency system
mas oeen formed for the sole purpose,
seemingly, of booming gold and de-
passing silver Silver restored to its
original place in our monetary svs-
tenn with full legal tender functions.
1t will solve the currency problem and
forever do away with the pernicioas.

RARE EL1zABETHAN BOOKS.

During the last year the most remark
able acquisition made by the department
of printed books at the British Museum
has been the extraordinary collection of
rare English books, chiefly of bellies let
tres. of the period of Elizabeth and James
l, discovered in 1867 by Mr.. C. Edmonds,
at Lamport Hall, Northamptonshire, the
seat of Sir Charles Isham, where they
had been laid aside and forgotten for
probably not less than two centuries.
Twenty-Five of these books have now
found home in Bloomsbury and form
by far the most important acquisition in
early English literature made by the mu-
scum for a long time. All are exceed
ingly scarce and two are absolutely
unique. One of these is THE Trans
formed Metamorphosis.' poem by Cy-
ril Tourneur, THE lamentations of Am
itas for the Death of Phillis," by Thomas
Watson, "paraphrastically translated out
Of Latin into English hexameters by
Abraham Fraunce," 1896 A book called
"Epicedion on Lady Helen Branch" sub
scribed wv Har,'' is remarkable as con-
tanning an allusion to Shakespeare's
'Lucrece." Only two other copies of this
are known.-London Daily News.

A TRIBUTE TO HONESTY.

A Wall street man, now dead, was the
subject of the conversation. Two of the
bankers present had known him very
well. After a number of stories, Illus
trating his keenness and shrewdness, had
been told, one said: The man has been
maligned very often. He was as honest
as any man who ever came into the
street" There was dead silence, and
the listeners looked surprised. Yes, -
added The speaker, "he was. Only" and
he paused here to lend emphasis to his
assertion. for fear that others might
cheat before he could, he always began

THE BICYCLE GIRLS COSTUME.

Women are more seemly riders than
most men, but perhaps the germ of the
new costume is to be found in the dress
modestly with skirts that hardly reach
below the knee, and are so modest that
no one remarks that it is not fitting.
The skirt is indispensable, but it must be
short, and the boomers are not graceful
The modfste who can invent just what
is fitting will find fortune at her hands.

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.

An aged preacher died from exhaustion
in an attempt to scale Mount Tacoma
with party, the absurd purpose being to
preach the Sermon on the Mount at the
height of nearly $1,000 feet above the sea
level. The ambition was a strange one,
but it enlisted the enthusiasm of large
party. There was nothing relevant in
such proceeding, and there was no.
body to hear the sermon except those
who constituted the party. One preacher
gained the summit and read the sermon.
