So Charlie kissed me once again,
And said, "a last adieu

You must not mention what I've said

But that love just as we'll

Poor Charlie, he will never come,
To mar dear Hubert's Joy
He knows too well the price he paid,

'Tis just three years
ago, to-day,
Since first met the one,
Who swore to be forever true,
To live for me alone.

Until one fatal day,
met another, regret,
Who stole my heart away
My first loves name is Hubert Scar,
My second, Charlie Gray.
And Hubert is my husband now
Has been for many a day.
BE is noble, loving man,
Ihonor and esteem,
But then my heart is Charlie Gray's,
OF him often dream.
You want to know the reason why
1 did not marry Gray :
Ishould not tell you, but know,
You'll find itout some day.
Well Hubert Scar is noble,
And,brave as he can be;
One day when we went boating,
he took me from the sea.
The boat that we we're using,
Some one had made to leak;
When Hubertbrought me TO the shore
We neither one could speak
We tainted from exhaustion.
And not until next day,
Were we allowed to move or speak.
We there in darkness lay.
Twas two weeks after this boat ride
That Hubert came one n light,
And said, dear, Una tell me now,
You love me am j right.
'ISsk you now to share my life

But tell me. do you love me toog

For l was happy for while,
Till 1 met Charlie Gray;
Then ! began to feel so cold.
And wish he'd stay away.
We met, it was one bright June morn
He bowed and passed me by,
My heart went out 20 him at once.
This will not deny.
And after this we often met,
Upon my favorite walk,
And we would linger there for hours,
To have pleasant talk.
We never thought of harm. till when
Poor Hubert came one day,
And said, dear, Una, don u you think
We'd better go away.
We must be married very soon,
My darling must not wait;
Dear Una, don't let Charlie Gray

To meet him after this,
But every day he'd linger round.
No single day he'd miss.
We met one twilightevening,
He seemed so full Of love;
He talked Of all things beautiful,
The earth, the sky above.
Till everything enchanted seemed
My heart was happy then;
But Ja:e decreed that we must part,
Yes we must part, but when !
This happiness was soon to end
For, oh, that very night
Dear Charlie took my hand and said,

REPUBLICAN ATTACK ON Mr.. RON.

Several Republican speakers. among
them Delegate Cannon, have attacked
the record of Hon. B. H. Roberts in
the Constitutional Convention. savine,
it was directly opposed to the plat
form Of the Davis County Democracy
that nominated him. The minutes of
the county convention do not show
that there was any action taken on
the question Of woman suffrage. Nor
were pledges asked of Mr.. Roberts.
nor were they given. How could he
have violated them? How could he
have betrayed the trust reposed in him
by the Democrats of Davis county in
the matter of woman suffrage? He
could not. His fellow delegate in the
Constitutional Convention had refused
to be bound on this same matter. al

poses Of the question of bad faith be-
tween Mr.. Roberts and the Davis
county convention.
Now as to Mr. Roberts course in the
conven5-on- His attitude on the
question of woman suffrage was not
approved by The Herald at the time.
but he was most manly and straight
forward in his course. Not approving
of suffrage for women he said so, and
it was his very fearlessness in what
he said that gave him such pro1ni-
nence. It was his manhood and not
his views that gained for him so MANY
congratulations
When the convention adopted this
suffrage provision and his party unan-
imously supported it. what did Mr..
Roberts do? He bowed to the will of
his party, accepted their judgment
and waived his own. It was not
within his power to give a better proof
of his Democracy than he did. And
today there is no more popular man
in his party than he.
We would ask these same Republican
speakers if his honest advocacy of
what he believed to be right did
not show him to be "a true man? And
we would ask them further if more of

politics, from the ward primary to the
halls of Congress. would not conduce

CUBA's GRIEVANCE.

Americans have a sympathy for
Cuba in her struggle for independence,
but when they reflect on the similarity
of her grievance with the grievances
of the colonists it makes this sympathy
still deeper.
AS every reader of our early history
knows a chief cause of the discomfort
of the people of the Thirteen Colonies
was the tribute they were compelled
to pay England through her system of
protection and the navigation acts
They could only trade with her and
consequently could trade on such terms
as she made and none others; and it
could only be carried on in English
bottoms. That is very much the case
with Cuba in her relations with Spain.
The Spanish loyalists themselves
confess that the protection given Span
ish manufactures in Cuba is sub
stantial grievance, though of course
they claim that it is exaggerated. On
the other hand Cuban products have
no preference in the Spanish markets
and are not protected. The admission
by the loyalists that there is a griev-
ance is a very important matter. To
remove it is a most difficult thing, for
the Spanish manufacturers are power
full enough to very seriously obstruct
the government if it attempts to in
terfere with their interests. 1t is the
same policy of protectionism that
obtains in this country, that has so
encouraged and coddled the infant
until it has grown to be a giant to
threaten and command. 1t is the same
policy that cost England her Ameri-
can colonies and will cost Spain Cuba.
There are other grievances of a diff
ferent nature. In Spain the elective
franchise is free while in Cuba there
is a property qualification. And the
Offices are invariably flied by Span
iards.
Yet the Spanish think there are not
sufficient causes for the present upris>
ing. The English never have thought
there was sufficient cause for the up
rising in this country hundred and
twenty years ago. But there was and
it succeeded. What was justification
for the American colonists in the
eighteenth century is justification for
the Cubans in the nineteenth century

OH! SUGARS!

Our Republican friends are talking
sugar again. That's all right, if they
do it in the sweet spirit of truth and
consistency. When they arrogate to
themselves all the credit of establish
ing or supporting Utah sugar they are
claiming too much But the Republican
doctrine of Claim everything may
to some extent account for that.
Utah sugar should be bought up
every pound of it, by Utah people.
Democrats are just as ready as Repub-
Hcans, if not more SO, to purchase the
Lehi article in preference to the impor-
ted article. They are willing to pay
full price for it. They will buy it if
the figure demanded is a little higher
than that at which the sugar COM
bine may offer it in order to break
down the Utah industry.
The Herald is in favor Of that course.
1t has always supported it. People
who would encourage outside efforts
are not patriotic and they are not wise.
To build up Utah enterprises is to
benefit Utah people in the aggregate.
To break down Utah industry which
is in competition with an outside in
dustry, is to place Utah people at the
mercy of the power exercised for that
purpose. It would be suicidal.
We do not understand that, as a
matter Of fact, there has been any
lack of legitimate support of the Lehi
factory. When every pound of its last
years product has been bought up,
and that in face of an outside combi-
nation to bear the price so as to cut
the ground from the Lehi factory S
feet, there seems to be evidence of
very good public support of the in
stitution.
When eastern capitalists are ready
to invest in the concern , and one
hundred thousand dollars of it's bonds
are taken by eastern people, the evil
dence is pretty good that the sugar
factory is Furnishing and only needs
legitimate public support to keep it
successful
Then why all this outcry about
Democrats not favoring the sugar in
dustry? Is it because they are OPP
posed to the principle of bounties?
Well, does any Republican dare pro-
pose that a bounty shall be given to
the sugar factory at Lehi in face of
the facts above presented? We have
not heard of such a proposition. If
our Republican opponents mean that
they want more bounties for that fac
tory, they should say SO that the peo-
pie may know just exactly what they
mean.
We consider it the duty of the people
of Utah to support the Utah sugar
company by using Utah sugar in pref
erence to any other. 1t is a splendid
article. 1t is worth all that is asked
for it. If trusts or combines in any
quarter seek to cripple or crush our
home institution by underselling, that
they may afterwards take it out of
us in high prices when they have
closed up our home concern, we should
all show our good sense, our apprecia-
ton of the enterprise Of our home
capitalists, and that self-preservation
which is a natural law, by paying for
Utah sugar the price at which it can
be produced with a reasonable return
for investments, and refusing to buy
the cheaper article sent here to destroy
our own institution. Democrats are
as ready to do that as any Republi-
can can pretend to be.
