REGRETS VS.. VOTES.

The friends of T. R. Cutler feet quite
confident that he will be seated in the
Senate of the new state from the
showing they can make in his favor.
There is no man among those who
run for office who has received as
many regrets as Mr.. Cutler has, not
alone from one political party but
from both, that he did not have a
large majority. Voters now, in their
calm elaboration, admit they were
carried off their feet by prejudice and
not principle.
The foregoing is from the Lehi
Banner and is about as lucid as that
papers dispositions on the tariff and
its variations on the bounty question.
We regard the gentleman named above
as very competent and pleasant man
who would ably represent his party
in the State Senate We have no
doubt that very many of his acquaint-
ances regret that he was not elected.
If any voters have been carried off
their feet" ON his account we hope
they are not also carried off their
heads" as the Banner appears to be.
If the gentleman has received ma
jority of the votes cast in his county
no matter how small he will certain
ly be seated, whether his friends wish
it or his enemies, if he have any, OPP
pose it or not. If he has not received
that majority it matters not how
many friends may make "a showing

annexation would not make the United
States stronger nor the American peo-
pie happier. Already this government
is having some difficulty in assimiIat-
ing its immense foreign population
and to annex these islands would but
add to the problem that already exists.
The assimidative power of the Ameri-
can people is that of the Anglo-Saxon
race, yet the English have been unable
to assimi1ate the French of the pro-
vince of Quebec who are now as alien
from the English as in the days of
Frontenac and Laval. Cuba and
Hawaii might become United States
territory but they would never become
American soil, the place alone where
American ideas grow.
The strength Of this government lies
In the love and loyalty of the Ameri-
can people for it's institutions and to
incorporate into it people of alien
ideas and who are not in contact with
It's people is not to add to it's strength
We can sooner conquer the world by
developing our institutions to their
best at home and by our example of
great and free people governing them
selves than by any acquisition of
foreign territory. Senator Sherman's
wise words should be needed by all
who love their country.

ANOTHER CONFESSION.

The Salt Lake Tribune states etii-
torially that, "a journal (Which is not
newspaper) assumes that Chief Pratt
must now resign, since it is settled
that Captain Donovan is to go back in
the Police department" It is pleasant
to see the Tribune making so many
confessions. This time it acknow-
lodges that it is mot a newspaper -
1t is the only journal which has urged
Chief Pratt's resignation as a neces-
sary consequence of Captain Dono-
vans reinstatement. On it's own logic.
then. the Tribune is mot newspa-
per-" Its many failures to give i'm
portant items Of news lately, being
terribly scooped by The Herald, has
made that fact plain to the public, but
it is a little surprising to see so open
a confession of the fact from the Tri-
bune itself. 1t must be the effect of
church influence which is percepti-
BILE in the utterances of our contem-
porary. 1t treated it's readers to a
column of editorial scriptural disser-
tation on Sunday, which, however far
fetched it's application may be, gives
token of the religious tone that paper
is assuming. Is it possible that this
is put on for the purpose of forward
ing the writer's ''unholy ambition for
prize plum position which it is in
the power of certain religiously in
clined gentlemen to bestow? Straws
show which way the wind blows.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONS POWERS

The Police and Fire Commission
gave the Chief of Police orders a day
or SO ago to close all the gambling
places in the city, and it is reported
the order has been executed. So I'M
expected was the order, so unusual it
may be said, that it really caused
quite a sensation in the community.
sudden departure from a dolce far
niente policy? The infraction of the
law that has been ordered stopped is
nothing new. If gambling should be
suppressed now, why should it not
have been suppressed long ago?
1t must be confessed that the Com
mission does not have that respect
and confidence Of the community that
it is desirable it should have. Its duty
is plain, being defined by the law that
created it, and outside of those
powers granted it by that law it has
none. 1t has assumed to exercise a
discretion in regard to the enforce
ment of various ordinances that does
not properly belong to it. They have
been enforced or held in allegiance as
seemed wise to the Commission. In
making this statement we impute no
improper motives to it, but we do not
hesitate to say that the enforcement
of the city ordinances. through those
departments over which it has con-
troll, is its business and not sitting in
judgment on the policy or impolicy
of them. All ordinances should be en-
forced. and if the Commission finds
that some work more mischief through
their enforcement than through neg
lect to enforce them, it should still en-
force them and call the attention Of
the City Council to the desirability of
their repeal. That is the proper course
for it to pursue and not arrogate
powers to itself which do not belong
to it. Its powers are limited and not
unlimited. This fact seems to have
been forgotten.

REPUBLICANS AND SILVER.


1t is true, as Sherman says, that
there will be no silver legislation as
long as Cleveland is President, and it
is equally true that there will not be
any after his Republican successor
comes in. The silver question has
taken it's place in the category of
political "reminiscences.
That is what the st. Louis Globe
Democrat has to say regarding the
chances for silver when the Republic
can party shall get control of the gov
eminent. That Mr.. Cleveland is hos
tile to silver no one disputes, but the
chief praises that he has received for
his hostility to silver have come from
the Republicans.
Nothing that depends upon the future
can be much more certain than that
the Republican party in it's national
convention next year will not declare
in favor of free silver. Why should it?
Was it not the Republican party that
demonetized silver in 1873? And does
not John Sherman say that the bill
bearing his name was enacted to avoid
a free silver law, which the Democrats
wanted?
The Democratic party is not unani-
nous on the silver question, but the
great majority of the silver sentiment
of the country is in that party. What
hope the future may have for silver in
this United States lies in the Demo
cratic party.

THE STRAIGHT OF 1T.

A little sheet published in these
parts for the deception of darkies, at
tempts to pervert the remarks of The
Herald in reference to the lynching of
negroes, and also endeavors to belittle
the colored editor of the Broad AK, a
paper which is as superior to the sheet
in question as light is to darkness.
We clip one paragraph which is suffi-
cient to show the tenor of the entire
attack:
The Herald undertakes to excuse
mob violence on the ground that there
is SO much delay in the law in it's mete-
ing out punishment to guilty parties,
and so many loopholes of escape.
The Herald has never undertaken
to excuse mob violence in any form or
for any purpose, whether it's effects
were felt by colored people or white.
1t has no apology or defence to make
for lynching. 1t is and always has
been utterly opposed to such lawless-
ness. At the same time The Herald
views with horror the frightful out
RACES perpetrated by colored fiends
upon white women, which have pro-
voked some of those violations of law
that are to be deplored. And we are
in favor of adequate penalties both for
lynching and for the beastly crimes
that lead to it

SILVER AND THE PARTIES.

The Republican party as a national
organization is, as we have repeatedly
proved. emphatically opposed to the
free coinage of silver. The Democratic
party has majority in favor of the
restoration of silver as standard
money, without waiting for the action
or consent of any other nation.
In making this statement, for which
abundant evidence has been given, we
do not ignore the fact that there are
free silver Republicans, or deny the
rejoinder that there are some anti,
silver Democrats and that they are
men of influence in the Democratic
tons in this: The pro-silver Republi-
cans are few, scarcely any being
found outside the silver-producing re-
gions, while the straight-out silver
advocates and supporters in the Dem
ocratic party are many, not only in
East, even in the gold-bug states on
the Atlantic.
A New York anti-silver sheet, re-
plying to the argument that the Re-
publican party is split on the sill
yer question, says by way of denial:
The division in the Republican party
on this question is not a line of clev
age in the center, as it is among the
Democrats. 1t threatens at most to
take off a shaving or a splinter. 1t
does not touch anything east of the
Missouri river and it does not SER
iously affect the states bordering on
the Pacific. At most it can produce
disturbance only in the Rocky Noun
tain states, and these may be easily
exchanged for Maryland, Kentucky,
and exc Missouri.
That is correct as to the Republican
party. A split off in favor of free sill
yer would be only "a shaving or
splinter" against the Cleavage in the
center alleged among the Democrats.
There will no doubt be a Cleavage On
this question when the Democratic
party comes to pronounce upon it, but
we do not believe it will be in the
center. BY the time the convention
meets in SO, we hope for a considera BILE
majority in favor of Independent and
unlimited free coinage in the undying
party Of hard money and constitutions
al liberty. At any rate there is no
hope for silver in the Republican
party"

TRUE AMERICANIsM.

Very much has been said of late
about true Americanism,' most of it
in connection with the rebellion in
Cuba or venezuela's dispute with Eng
land over boundaries. 1t is pleasant
to turn from the rabid, belligerent talk
of the jingoes to what Senator Sher-
man has to say, in his ''Recollections, -
about extending the limits of our
country:
If my life is prolonged I will do all
1 can to add to the strength and pros
perity of the United States, but moth
ing to extend its limits or to add new
dangers by acquisition of foreign ter
ritory.
That has the ring of true Americans
ism about it. Our common country
already embraces half continent, and
although our population is nearly
seventy millions, yet the country is
sparsely settled. its resources almost
untouched. Why not be content with
what we have, for we have much
more than we can utilize?
There are many who would annex
the Hawaiian islands and Cuba. Such

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

AS the public knows The Herald
has been the champion of non-par-
tisanship in the schools, and it still
adheres to that theory. That it has
not been feasible to have the two par
ties come together and unite upon the
best men for members of the School
Board is to be regretted. An article
in the Boston Herald of last Thurs
day on the school board in that city,
is so thoroughly in accord with our
own views and so timely, that we give
that portion which is appropriate to
Salt Lake City and is not merely of
local significance:
1t is 20 be hoped that in some way
the committee appointed by the Re
publican and Democratic municipal
conventions to nominate candidates to
the school board will come together
and agree upon d common ticket. 1t is
desirable that the school board should
be taken entirely out of politics, and
that only those men should be nomi-
mated and elected in whose intelli-
gence, honesty and good judgment the
people have a right to feel confidence.
If the two committees could bring for
ward the names of two or three women
to serve on the board it would be of
distinct advantage, as it is clearly de-
sirable to give to that sex a larger
representation than has thus far been
accorded. But one thing the nominat-
ing committees, either separately or
jointly, should set their faces against
and that is the nomination to or con-
tinuance on the board of men who in
public matters do not hold themselves
above suspicion.

PoL1cEMEs,s RIGHT TO KILL.

A longshoreman in New York was
nearly beaten to death by policemen
the other day because, as they say,
he resisted them. The evidence on this
point was conflicting, one witness who
saw the affair from window, saying
the man was knocked down before he
| had chance to resist. Be that as it
may, the astonishing thing about the
whole affair was what the police
magistrate before whom the long.
shoreman was brought said regarding
the rights of the police in the matter.
He declared
This man was drunk and disorderly
The policeman had right to arrest
him, and to use any force that was
necessary to get him to the station
house. dead or alive. He had a right
to club him, if necessary, and even to
kill him.
That is stating the law in the case
to be much broader than it is. Under
such construction a policeman may
club a man to death for any resis-
lance, no matter how slight. Itswould
take most serious resistance, a re-
officers personal safety, that would
justify clubbing a man to death
If policemen and peace officers were
to be allowed to act on the law as laid
down by Magistrate Mott it would
give them the power of life and death
over citizens. The policeman would be
judge, jury and executioner. He can
call mild remonstrance a resistance
and thereupon proceed to club a man
to death. The American people will
never consent to such an outrageous
construction of the law, even though
Police Commissioner Fred Grant did
give it his approval, at the same time
remarking that clubs and revolvers
were for use. But the police of New
York have been famous for their capac-
ity for clubbing, and for protecting law
breakers, and her police magistrates
have been of about the same class as
her police. The people still have some
rights even in New York

in his favor he cannot gain the seat

We have no doubt the numerous

very much that he was not success

votes in such case. If he had suf-
ficlent votes there would be no room
for regrets; and since he has SO many

that he did not have enough votes.

Irrigation In Castle valley.

The directors of half a score of ir-riga-
ton systems in Castle valley should get
together and discuss some means of
placing before the home-seejng public
a truthful and attractive tale of the ad-
vantages of Castle valley. There are
thousands of home-seekers who will.
next spring, strike out for new fields.
Most people of this class have sufficient
means and energy to make them desir-
able additions to Utah. What the coun-
try needs, above all things, is an in
creased population of the right sort.
There is only one way to reach those
we need and that is by means of attrac-
tive and reliable literature so gotten up
as to carry conviction and to create a
disposition to give Castle valley the pref
erence above all other portions of the
new state which are inviting immigra-
tion.-Price Advocate.
