ITS POWER GONE.

It is evident that the erstwhiie dis
tator of Republican politics ana
formerly of the Liberal party. has
Slid down into veritable deeadencr.
1t no longer brings terror to those
who rebel against its dictates. It's
whilom lash has lost its cling. It's
inability to control the executive and
other departments of the local gov
eminent has been conspicuous ever
since the Democrats came irto or
! troll. The territory has nor been gov
erned by inspiration from the Tribune
Office since the reins were turnad
over from Thomas TO West, and now
even the heads of the Republican
party refuse to bend to Tribune
domination and to comply With its
imperative demands.
For some time, in magisterial and
top-lofty style, with great assump-
ton of superior purity, it has per-
emptorily ordered the Chairman Of
the Republican territorial committee
to resign his position. The r=ason il
assigned for this has been 4 at he is
reported to be a candidate for the
Governorsh;p of Utah. Fer the crime
of aspiring. or of being accused of
aspiring, 10 that position he was de-
clared unfit to occupy the place of
Chairman of the party. 1t has not
yet been shown that the gentleman,
whatever may be his other faults. has
declared himself an aspirant for any
Office in the gift of the people. His
position in that regard is something
similar to that of the editor Of the
Tribune, who is commonly reported
to be a candidate for United States
Senator. All that the latter has haG
to say publicly upon that point is.
that he has not so announced and
that IF he should be a candidate there
would be conditions" The proofs of
the candidacy of each person are
about equal
1t is understood that on Monday the
Republican Chairman rendered his
resignation, which. if it was done at
the instance of the Tribune, we look
upon it as a mark of weakness. BE
that as it may, the resignation was
not accepted by the committee. This
is virtual rebellion against the once
puissant paper which made its fei-
low Republicans toe the mark or ex-
pect the whip. 1t is an unmistakabIe
sign that the Tribune has lost its
grip upon its own party. 1t may
scold and sweat, and swear and
hurl mud after its own pleasant fash
ion, but those who once looked to it
for instructions no longer heed either
its demands or its threats.
The Tribune faction is in the mi
nority Its strength has become
weakness. There is no fat for it to
fry out, and we may look for change
of policy when that fact becomes to
it Enthusiastically apparent. The Tri-
bune's day has gone. Its sun was
near setting when the Liberal party
died out, and now the Republican
party is moving rapidly away from it,
and there is nothing left of its lumin-
osity but the angry red fire which
hovers over its horizon

UTAH GALLANTRY.

The women of Utah will scarcely sub
scribe TO the claim that the grand old
Republican party is ever foremost in
good works and the advancement of
righteous causes. According to Delegate
Frank Cannon the alignment upon a
question raised regarding the election for
the ratification or rejection of a state
constitution is party one the Democrats
taking the position that all conditions of
Justice seem TO require that women have
the right to vote at this election, the R--
publcans assuming the opposite ground
The proposed constitution contains d
provision giving the women right of Suf-
frage, but their enemies throw themselves
back upon the declaration that the cleo
ton must be in accordance with the terri
torial laws provided by Congress which
do not recognize woman as voter. The
situation seems to indicate an excess of
gallantry on the part of Democrats. as
compared with their opponents They do
not fear evil results from the exercise of
the ballot by "emanciDated woman in
Utah, the place which associates the
name of woman with the deepest sorrow.
They are willing to risk the clear brain,
woman. in fact Il is quite probable that
opposition from either side would prove
more a matter of leadership than CT real
aversion.
Whether or not woman votes in Novem-
Der on her right to vote, the history the
local politicians out that way are making
in the matter may come back to plague

she has capacity for making lots of po-
litical trouble for those who do.-Cieve-

FAMOUS ENGLISH SWORDS.
Some Noticeable Weapons That Are X,
hibited In the Tower of London.

Some Noticeable Weapons That Are Ex-
hibited In the Tower of London.
Whoever visits the London Tower
may enjoy veritable feast of swords,
but amid the numberless array of weap-
ons there are one or two that are espe.
cially worthy of notice. There is the
sword of state, which is Girt on the
monarch's side after his amounting at
the imposing ceremony of coronation,
which girding is more honored in the
breach, one would suppose when the
monarch is lady. The sword is first
consecrated by the primate, and by him
handed to the lord chamberlain, who
completes the function. 1t is two hand
ed weapon, with rich decorations on hilt
and pommel and scabbard. Of scarcely
less Importance is the Sword of mercy, )"
borne before the sovereign in the coro-
nation procession. This sword is named
Curtana, but though undoubtedly very
ancient it can hardly claim to be the
original Curtana forged by the famous
Munitican.
This original Curtana was the magic
weapon of Ogier the Dane, bold knight
Of Charlemagne's most warlike days.
Our own Curtana is in any case many
centuries old. 1t is square pointed, with
the look as though the point had been
broken short; hence possibly its name.
A fine gold wire covers its handle, and
the scabbard is remarkably ornate. Two
other swords are carried at the corona
ton oerem Ony-swOrds symbolical of
spiritual and temporal justice, the first
with an obtuse point, the latter sharp.
Curtana and these two justice swords
are not often called upon to make pub
lilo appearance. 1t is happily more than
half century since they were last re-
quired at a coronation, but whenever
the sovereign opens parliament i'll per-
son the sword of state first mentioned is
called from its repose.
The lord mayors sword is even more
familiar to the general public and not
only London, but most other corpora
tions, have their sword and sword bear
er. 1t is q picturesque survival of the
middle ages, which one would regret to
see abOlished-part of the ritual of state
customs, which ritual is by no means
meaningless. Public action must often
be of fgurative character. Such is the
mode by which the city of London some
times does honor to those who have rem
dered the nation good service, presenting
to them swords of honor. These civic
swords have been given to men like
Lord Napier, Lord Clyde, Lord Wolse-
ley. Wellington received one in his day,
and so did the Prussian Butcher. Tom

THAWING OUT FROZEN MEAT.
A Dark Room Treatment Before Leaving
the Gold Storage House.

A Dark Room Treatment Before Leaving
the Gold Storage House.
According to the process invented
by Messrs. Nelson Bros. for thawing
frozen meat in such a way as to put it
ON the market in sound condition and
avoid the many objections to which the
sale of the meat while still in frozen
state was open, the chamber of the ap-
paratus is provided with double doors,
one of which is extremely thick, so as
to shut out, as far as possible, all exter-
nal atmosphere The chamber has nc
windows, but is supplied with electric
light.
On entering one sees only some 30
quarters of beef hanging in rows on
hooks over a slightly raised open plat
form, with canvas curtain at tho back.
Under this platform, however, there is
series of steam pipes, while behind the
curtain there is series Of pipes filled
with compressed ammonia, similar TO
those used in connection with tho ordi.
nary freezing processes. The steam pipes
under the meat cause current of warm
al w aSCcIu al lIOuIll 1T, anu DIS sOJE
as this current reaches the top of this
chamber it is drawn to the freezing pipes
behind the curtain, by which all the
moisture is frozen out of it, on to the
pipes themselves. 1t accumulates there
in the form of snow some three-quarters
of an inch i'll thickness
The snow has to be scraped off the
pipes from time to time, and it is stated
that the accumulation during five days,
in the thawing of 80 quarters of beef,
has resulted in no fewer than IS pounds
of water. During that same period the
meat has lost only per cent in weight.
The purpose Of the canvas curtain is to
divide the ascending warm current from
the descending cold current, and it IS
claimed that the effect Of this incessant
passing of the air first over the steam
pipes and then over the freezing pipes
is eventually to free it from all mois.
ture. When the meat is first hung, the
temperature of the room is almost at
freezing point, but on the fifth day the
temperature of tho chamber has beer
raised to thai Of the air outside. BY
this time the frost has all been thawed
out of the meat, which is then in con.
dition to be sent to market. London
