OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

The elections being over, the bust
ness of discussing presidential candi-
dates and the issues of next year will
naturally be taken up by papers and
politicians, and all the capital made
that is possible out of the shortcom-
ings, or alleged shortcomings, of both
political parties.
The many criticisms of the foreign
policy of the present administration
that have appeared in the Republican
press. make it quite certain that the
Republican national convention next
year will take the matter up and in
all likelihood make an issue of 1t.
What has it been that anyone can
legitimately find fault with? In all
parts of the world Americans and their
interests have been protected. No one
pretends that the flag has been insult
ted or that any of our embassies or
consulates have been raided. At every
court and government American am
bassadors and ministers have re-
ceived the same courteous considera-
ton that they ever have. We have
lost no territory nor have there been
threats of invasion. The country is at
peace with all the world and has the
respect of all nations. Wherein, then,
has the administration failed to do its
full duty? When simmered down, the
charges amount to no more than this:
a refusal to adopt a lingo policy and
act the part of the bravado. We have
q Nd IN,
want to try the strength of American
guns and armor against foreign ships.
Fortunately the opportunity has not
presented itself although the jingoes
on sea and land have done all in their
power to force the administration to
turn the Hawaiian republic. the Co.
rinto affair, the Venezuelan dispute
and the Cuban rebellion into the de-
sired opportunity. Furthermore, every
effort has been made to involve this
country in war with England by invok-
ing the Monroe doctrine, whether ap-
plicable or not. 1t is safe to say that
no administration, be it Democratic or
Republican, is going to permit that
doctrine to be ignored by any Euro
pean power; but the responsibility of
going to war over it is much graver
than that of sitting down and writing
articles declaring there should be ulti-
mata sent to this, that and the other
government.
1t is the lingo politicians who have
demanded this vigorous foreign pol
icy" which is nothing more than car
rying a chip on our shoulders, and had
there been any desire on the part of
the administration to make political
capital out of foreign war, no doubt
an excuse could have been found The
country should be thankful it has not
been. The lingo utterly fails to re-
alize that peace hath her victories, no
less renowned than war"

SHOULD TAKE IT'S OWN ADVICE

Quoting Henry Rochefort that: ITO
say to well-known man, You ought
to write your memoirs is a polite way
Of giving him to understand that he is
no longer good for anything else" our
morning contemporary thinks there are
some persons in town who ought to be-
gin to get down their points" Con-
sidering the sort of verbiage that our
contemporary offers for argument, we
are of the opinion that it's editor should
be included among the jotters, and ap-
ply all the time left from the composing
of obituaries to the business of writing
his memoirs.
For some days past the editorial coll
umns of the Tribune have contained
repetitions of the fiction, that the Dem
ocratic party claimed "all the intelli-
gence, all the courage, honor, and hon
esty in the country" This boast was
attributed to "a high authority in the
Democratic party" The Herald denied
this, and showed that it was the Re
publicans whe We're ITO be charged with
that kind of bon1bast, if anybody. Now
comes our contemporary with the fol-
lowing quotation as its proof against
the Democratic party. 1t is from a
speech by Hon. Moses Thatcher at a
rally in Logan:
Planting our feet upon the solid
foundation of honesty, we shall win on
the 5th day of November if the people
OF Utah are what l have always con-
sidered them to be-honest, upright and
courageous. applause and cheering to
the echo).
What is there in that which claims
for the Democratic party "all the in
telligence, all the courage, honor, and
honesty in the country? When our
neighbor gets down to proving a point
it is nearly always a most conspicuous
failure. Its forte is generalization in
rambling way, and the citation of it's
"a well known gentleman or "a relia-
BILE old lady" When pushed to partic-
ularize it breaks down utterly.
AS further example of it's excruci-
ating logic, it closes another editorial
showing the Republican victory in
Utah, with this choice paragraph:
The result shows conclusively that al
the cries about church influence, of
which we have heard so much Of late,
are, and at all times have been, with
out the slightest foundation in fact
The reasoning on which 1T reaches that
sage conclusion is. that as the large
majority predicted by the Republican
leaders was not obtained, although it

DEMOCRATS MUST ASSOCIATE.

The Tribune quotes Edmund Burke
as saying: when bad men combine
good men must associate" Just so
And if the adage is carried out, the
association of Utah Democrats will
he closer than ever before. This ought
20 be kept up from this time forward
AS the chairman Of the state com
nittee has expressed, "All the ele-
ments of the Democratic party have
come so closely together" during the
campaign chat in future there will be
no distinction in the Democratic party
between Mormon and Gentle; on our
side at least those terms will be Who'll
ly forgotten"
Daily interchange of opinions and
courtesies has made friends of many
men who were previously strangers OF
but distant acquaintance. and who
exhibited a little distrust one of the
other. Brought together for com
mon purpose they have been able tc
see the good in each other, and to
sense the fact that the evils they sup
posed to be predominant were either
entirely imaginary or greatly exag-
gerated by distance and the fogs of
prejudice. Association has corrected
many misunderstanding and the re-
suit must be beneficial.
The necessity of closer association
and more persistent work, at once
ought to be plain to the Democratic
mind. The next election, in case the
state is admitted into the Union, will
be held next November when members
of the Legislative Assembly will be
voted for. That election may entirely
change the legisla tive situation. The
women of Utah will be then endowed
without dispute with the right to ex-
ercise the elective franchise. Demo
Gratis ought to come together again
without delay to prepare for the next
campaign.
1t is evident that a change of a few
votes in many legislati tive districts will
change the balance of power, so far
at least as the legislative department
is concerned. To bring that change
about effective work will be needed.
Above all, the disseminat ton of gem
uine Democratic doctrine is import
ant. Once thoroughly establish Demo-
cratic principles in the human mind
and they will remain ineradicable, be-
cause they are eternally true AS a
rule people will hold to them and the
party which embodies them when they
are planted in the heart The I'M
stable, dishonest and time-serving may
swerve from them but the bulk of the
believers will hold to them under all
circumstances and conditions.
Close association and thorough or
ganization, then, is needful to wage
new warfare against the heresies of
the enemy. and for the placing of the
best and most capable men in posi-
lions of trust under the new state.
Let not the rest after the battle be
prolonged, but make ready for a new
fight for the old cause which is al
ways present and will live forever.

claims from 1000 to 1000, therefore "the
cries about church influence all the time
have been without foundation in fact"
That would be so remarkable, coming
from any other source as to occasion
hilarious comment But the public have
become accustomed to the peculiarties
of Tribune logic.
Even if the Republican party had Sc
cured no majority at all in Utah, that
would not warrant the conclusion
jumped at by our contemporary. The
influence" exercised, in numerous in
stances, failed of its purpose. Its want
of success would not prove its non-ex-
istence. 1t was never claimed, from
1891 to 1895, that the endeavors of the
users of that influence accomplished all
that they attempted. The Tribune might
as we'll assert that because the Repub-
lican party failed in 1892, and the Dem
ocratic party in 1895, therefore neither
of them exercised any influence to gain
the election, and that any claims that
they did "all the time have been with
out the slightest foundation in fact"
We have no idea that our neighbor
will be able to see the idiocy OF its at
tempts at reasoning, but the
public will, and our contemporary
should take it's own advice, cop
led from Henry Rochefort's pungent
saying, and henceforth make a special
ty Of writing it's own memoirs when not
engaged in the obituary business.

contemporary has done more to make
them appear reasonable and correct
than any other paper in the United
States Those same SANDERS with
quite as little, indeed far less excuse
were repeated by that paper for years,
and were kept up with pertinacity
of Misrepresentation and an utter dis
so obnoxious to people familiar with
the real situation, as to make them
regard it with perfect disgust and I'M
mitigated contempt
1t is because the eastern mind was
SO imbued with the impression convey
ed by Tribune distortions, that today
many public journals are ready to re-
same arguments against statehood
that they copied formerly from the
Tribune of this city.
The Democratic party is ready to
do its part and lend its influence to
stop ISLANDERS against Utah of any
great vote for statehood. And that
will be strengthened by the efforts of
the real friends of Utah to place her
in the Union at the earliest possible
date
To stir up the controversy anew here
will only provoke rejoinder that will
echo throughout the land. If our con-
temporary really desires the discus
sion on that matter to cease, it had
better learn the virtue of silence,
which, however, may lose much of its
attraction to our neighbor because it
is golden.

GREED OF THE GLASS TRUST.

The window glass syndicate, which
takes in all the establishments west of
PittsbuIg, is going to advance prices
about 121a per cent next month. This
will make the prices of some grades
about 40 per cent. higher than they were
last year Prices were low then, too but
if the glass mem v1ere too greedy and
attempt to push them up to the 1892
level. they will rum against the Brice
German tinkered tariff. That does not
give them half the borus the Mckinley
bin did. SO if they begin asking too much
for their wares the cheaper Belgian
glass will be imported by the shipload,
and will be given the preference by con-
surners on account of the cheaper price
The glass trust must go slow or it will
overreach itSelf.-Chicago Tribune

THE ISSUES NEXT YEAR.

Just what the issues next year will
be cannot be definitely foretold. The
result of Tuesdays elections will make
| the Republicans holder in their adop-
ton of policies than they have cared
! to declare ever since the great land
slide of a year ago. They confidently
look upon the elections of next year as
theirs. They forget that it is a year
before those elections and in that time
many things may happen. They have
also to stand the test OF the work OF an
overwhelming majority in the next
House. There they have giants
strength; the danger that awaits them
is that they will use it as giant.
But what will the issues for next
year be? 1t is pretty safe to say that
they will be tariff, currency and per-
| haps foreign policy.
Had not times been so dull and bust
ness SO depressed as a consequence of
the panic of 1893, there would be no
tariff issue next year. If there is a de-
mand on the part of Republican lead
ers and the protected interests for a
restoration of McKinleyism, that will
bring before the people an issue with
which they are familiar, and one on
which the Republican party suffered
such great defeat in 1892. The tariff is
sue. so far as the Republicans are con-
cerned, may be confined to a slight
modification of the Gorman-Wilson
tariff and the placing of duties on ar
ticles now on the free list. But there
will be some tariff issue.
The agitation for free silver in the
West and to some extent in the South
and the sound money propaganda
carried on in the East, make it certain
the currency will be an issue, most
probably the leading one. The Repub-
lican national convention will be
against free silver, while there will be
a division of sentiment on the question
in the Democratic convention, with a
fair prospect of the silver element shap-
ing the party policy. This currency issue
will involve considera ton of the retire
ment of the greenbacks and the entire
reform Of the whole currency system
Between now and the holding of the
national conventions various matters
may transpire to create new issues
That the administration conduct Of
the government will be an issue goes
without saying.
