the sweeping reductions announced in
the rates of freight will be highly ben
eficial to the territory as a whole.
The result will be an immense saving
to Utah. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars will be saved in the item of
freights, and if expended in greater
local purchases the people will have
a greater supply of the necessities and
comforts, while business will be slim
ulated in the same degree.
1t may be, as suggested by some
critical not to say il%l-natured persons,
that the Union Pacific people in con-
sequence Of the agitation over the re-
Ownership question have made these
concessions as a sop, to placate the
people of this -inter-mountain region.
Nevertheless, so long as we gain the
benefit it does not matter so much
about the reasons that have led TO it.
If the Jobbers' Association have gained
what they would have applied for I'M
der the single receivership, it is not
likely that they will not complain be-
aus it comes under the conditions
arising from the appointment of a
double receiverskip. TT is an i'll wind
that blows nobody goods" Whatever
caused the eastern breeze which has
blown down the high freight rates
against which our merchants have
long protested, those who reap the re-
suits will not grumbIe at the source
of the blast.
Salt Lake City should, by it's loca-
ton and relation to the surrounding
regions. be their jobbing centre. That
is impossible while she is discrimin-
ated against in the matter of freights.
One reason why seaport towns have
such an advantage over internal cities
is the cheap rates which they gain
from ocean freightage. I$ should be
the policy of the railroads centering in
such cities as Salt Lake to build up
trade and encourage their development,
instead of planning to draw from
them their life's blood and thu keep
them in the condition of inferior and
Slow going places. Railroad companies,
for their own Sakes, should seek TO
stimulate rather than deplete such
centers of business trade, for with
their growth and increase Will ne
~cessarily come greater business for the
railroads, both in the matter of freight
and in passenger traffic.

cision of the court was give in refer
ence to the receivership, good Is al

regation from the Union Pacific sys-

wrought cannot fail to be greatly to
the advantage of this whole inter-
mountain region.

A CORPORATION LAWYER.

Mr.. Olney is denounced as a corpora
ton lawyer. But there are corpora
ton lawyers and corporation lawyers.
There are some Gt may possibly be
true that Mr.. Olney is of that class,
whose sympathies are wholly with
corporations by instinct and training,
who are the creatures of corporate
wealth and whose judgment is certain
to be biased in favor of thai class of
litigants. All such lawyers are, of
course, unfit for judicial or other of
fetal honor. But, on the other hand,
it is true hat this is the age of cor
porations, big and little. rich and poor.
From this fact it follows that corpora
that all attorneys are, to a greater or
less extent, corporation lawyers, and
that no man is to be denounced as be-
longing to the hateful class of corpora
ton lawyers simply because he has
corporations for clients. In this city,
for instance, there is no first class at
torney who is not the retained attor-
There is no attorney here who would
not esteem himself fortunate to be-
come the attorney for some of the big
corporations now represented by
others. Yet it is not true that these
attorneys are, from that fact alone,
to be included in the hateful category.
A lawyer is not a thief because he
defends a thief; a lawyer is not the
tool of corporations, come what may,
though he may act as their counsel.

FREE SILVER OR NOTHING.

The delegates from Montana to the
Cleveland Republican league con
vention are all pronounced silver men.
1t is announced that they will stand
solid in h convention for a blank
committing the convention to a de-
mand for the free coinage of silver
without waiting for the consent Of
any other nation. 1t is further stated
that unless silver receives full recog-
milton without evasion and without a
straddle, they will leave the conven-
ton, and thus manifest their disgust
with the whole business.
In taking hat course they will
doubtless please the people of Mon
tana and give great satisfaction to
the vast majority in the western
states and territories. The time has
come when there must be no hating
between two opinions on the great
national issue that now confronts us.
Politicians must take one side or the
other of the financial question. ShiI-
ly-shally politicians are not fit for
leaders. The masses will have none
of them. Every man must show that
he las the courage of his convictions.
There is more respect for the candid
monometallist who boldly
his position than for the pretended BIZ
metallist who seeks to cover his true
sentiments by deceptive concessions
to the silver element. Free coinage
men nave no need to conceal their
true sentiments. and every one of
them should take a bold stand before
the country and proclaim himself a
silverite.
We wonder whether the Utah dele
cation will stand shoulder to Shout
der with the men from Montana when
the critical test comes. Will they
also march out if the convention at
tempts to straddle the currency ques-
ton? Or will they repeat the weak
kneed attitude of the 'erstwhile val
iant' and bow to the behests of the
bogus bimetaliists? We will have to
wait but a few days to determine this
question.
The people of the west look to the
men chosen as their representatives
to express western sentiment and to
stand firmly for the true bimetallic
doctrine. No surrender and no shift
ingI Independent free silver at 16 to
II That alone will satisfy the masses
of the voters Of each political party
in the silver producing regions.

THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL.

once more the Mayor and the City
Council are at loggerheads. The peo-
pie of Salt Lake City are becoming
very tired over these repeated disagree
ments. They think it is undignifed on
the part Of the Mayor and equally so
on the part of the City Council to en-
gage in elimination and recrimination
over the affairs which come before
them in their respective capacities. We
do not care just now to go into the
merits of the present dispute between
his honor and the body with which he
is at variance. That is not the point
TO which we desire to direct attention.
But we regard it as ~unseemly, not 10
say ~disgraceful, that there are con-
tinnal evidences of ill-feeling in the
disagreements that attract so much
/, public attention. That we regard as
entirely wrong and unnecessary.
That the Mayor and the City Council
may take opposite views in reference
TO any public question, honestly and
each with a sincere regard for the pub
lie good, we do not for a momen
dispute, but that should be devoid of
Feasibility and there should be no ex-
hibition of ill-feeling in the matter. 1t
looks to the public as though there
was d degree of spite p%ervading the
repeated tits between the Mayor and
Council. This is unpleasant to witness
and is certainly not conducive to pub
lie respect. When the Mayor and the
City Counci! fail TO see eye to y on
any public matter, why can they not
get together and, in a kindly spirit and
with a desire to reach the best con-
illusions, talk the matter over and set
tie their differences in private? There
ought to be at least that much har-
mony between the two branches of the
city government.
We believe the Mayor to be honest
in his views and intentions, and that
in asserting his rights, as he under
stands them, as the Mayor of his city,
it is not from personal motives that he
takes the position in hostility to the
Council which he frequently
We believe also that the majority of
the Council seek the welfare of the
public rather than any private aims or
ambitions. But we cannot close our
eyes to the evidences of personal an

and then, in the intercourse between
these two branches of the public SER
vice.
We think the segregation of these
two branches was a mistake. 1t would
be better for the Mayor to be part of
the Council, to preside over its DELHI
erations, to become familiar by his
DreSanpe during their SittiD0S with all
the particulars and arguments that
relate to any question brought before
that body, than by the separation
which has taken place, that the Mayor
should stand aIoof as a separate and
distinct branch of the body corporate.
That seems to set his office at variance
with theirs. AT any rate some steps
should be taken to promote a better
feeling between the Mayor and the
City Council, or their continual jangles
are likely to create unmitigated public
disgust.

Upon his individual record; and as a
result, he scarcely knows whether he
is OF his feet or his head. To cap
the climax, President Roosevelt of the
police board has developed a most
annoying habit of dropping in and
around to see how things are going
on in the department. The latest idi-
osyncrasy of 'Haroun-al-Roosevelt" as
the World dubs him was to make a

THE ENGINEERS REPLY.

From DIR. Talmase's Baccalaureate SER
Many a day the storm king roared.
And his vessels Of wrath on the desert
poured.
Aweary I stood midst sIeet and rain,
At the station awaiting the midnight
train,
Unheeding the fears of delay expressed;-
To bear me home to comfort and rest.
Wild shrieks of a demon thirsting for
gore.
With this eIankins of brakes and flashing
That illumined u space in the inky night.
Tall and grimy, with mein austere
Down from the cab leapt the engineer.
Approaching him, I ventured to ask
If he loved or dreaded his onerous task.
While life remains, the answer he made
VIII nevermore from my memory fade.
Like the lightning haf dazzling and
clear
Came the reply of the engineer.
From the headlight burning above the
guards
The light streams out for a hundred
yards;
Though I drive the engine never so fast,
Beyond is the flash of the headlight cast:
Whatever betide: wherever 1 tread,
The light is there, and always ahead.
The bridge may be gone far down the
route.
The track torn up. or the bed washed
out:
But I drive ahead at my wonted pace
And try TO cover the lighted pace;
Nor hunt for trouble with sight nor
sense;
Then leave the result to Providence"
Astonished and humbled. the coach I
And pondered long, for I little thought
Such faith and wisdom to learn from
him.
That engineer, sooty and grim.
This was the lesson revealed to me-
To follow the way we can plainly see,
Leaving the distant paths and events
To the wiser care of Omnipctence:
To perform the duty near at hand;
The future, God only can understand;
Who, on our approach, be it dark or day,
Will flash his light on the hidden way.

THE SHORT LINE RECEIvERsHIP.

The welfare of Utah demands that
the Short Line should be absolutely
divorced from the Union Pacific.
Nothing should be permitted to pre-
vent such a separation. No gallery
play" of the Union Pacific in reducing
rates to appease popular clamor, no
friendship for any individual or indi-
viduals, should prevent this consum-
nation.
While we believe that Mr.. Bancroft
is an honest and conscientious man
who will, if accepted as a c~o-receiver,
work increasingly for the best inter
est of the Short Line. and while be-
ieving further that it was a prudent
thing to associate with Mr.. Egan an
assistant having a thorough familiar
ity with Utah and the territory ira
versed by the Short Line. yet more
important than Mr.. Bancroft's reten-
ton is the public veal. Should the
American Trust company refuse to
accept Mr.. Bancroft, then it is to be
hoped hat the court and Trust COM
pany may be able to gree upon an
other and satisfactory person to be
named in Mr.. Bancroft's place, or
that the court may conclude that Mr..
Egan's appointment will cry all in
terests.
So far as the freight reductions are
concerned, they will be of great adj
vantage to Utah. It is unfortunate
hat they were made under circum-
them to question. 1t is also unfor-
tunate that they were not SO compre-
hensive as to cover all the legitimate
complaints that this inter-mountain
country has against the Union Pa
cifc.

To those gentlemen who hug the
delusion to their souls that interna-
tionaI bimetallism is possible we COM
mend the sound and patriotic words
of United States Circuit Judge Cald-
well of Arkansas:
So long as we proclaim to the world
shat our purpose is adhere to a
single gold standard TIL England
agrees to abandon it, the flee and I'M
limited coinage OF silver. at any ratio,
will never come. Specifications in
this direction viii be in vain. She
sDurns them with the arrogance and
insolsnce that such cowardly and
pusilianimous actions on our part de-
serve. What is more, England's ac-
ton is courageous and aggressive ac-
ticn, not cowardly supplication. The
issue is sharply defined. Those who
do not favor the free coinage of gold
and silver at 16 10 1, making silver
the unit of value. as done under the
act of 1892, ara for a gold standard.
There is no middle ground.
