A LESSON FROM ENGLAND.

| So long as Earl Rosebery was atAthe
known that there was no hope for any
favorable action on silver, for it was
under Liberal rule that the Indian
minis were closed to the free coinage
of silver in 1893 But all this time it
was felt that the return to power of
the Conservatives would be suspicious
for silver; and particularly was this
so because of Mr.. A. J. Balfour's we'll
known views in favor of bimetallism,
and his prominence in the Conserva-
tive party. That party has returned
to power and Mr.. Balfour has been
given very high position in the new
government. Last Thursday he was
asked in parliament whether he would
advise the government to invite an
International monetary conference, to
which he replied:
I am and have always been in favor
of an international agreement, but I
have not the right to pledge my col
leagues and do not believe that an
international agreement would be
helped by an international confer
ence."
All of which means that Mr.. Balfour
has straddled the question. 1t is the
opinion of the London Daily News
that this answer of Mr. Balfours dis
poses of bimetallism so far as the Brit
ish government is concerned. And we
believe that the News opinion is cor
rect. So much for Balfour and bimet-
alllism.
The Westminster Gazette, discussing
the silver question in America, COM
ments on the action of the Ohio Dem
ocratic convention, and says:
''But should it ultimately be decided
to establish a fixed ratio between gold
and silver, it does not in any wise
follow that what will suit America
will be an acceptable or wise policy
for Great Britain"
That is very true, and very sensible.
1t is a declaration that British inter
ests, and not other interests, are the
concern of Great Britain. It should
teach the United States a lesson, which
is this: It does not in any wise fol-
low that what will suit Great Britain
will be an acceptable or wise policy
for the United States.

Crane Praised By a Crane Paper.

Charles Crane is the choice of the peo-
pie, not solely because of his well known
executive abilities, but because of his
untiring and unselfish devotion to the
noble cause of American freedom. Char
ley Crane cannot, like a great many other
workers in the party, be called a seeker
after vulgar glory. When he took up the
Republican party there was no glory in
sight, nothing but defeat; he, with few
followers which he had in that campaign,
we're workers as do the elders of reli-
gious faith, with a sincerity that pre-
cludes all thought of recompense, all
thought of vulgar notoriety; but their
work has been rewarded by a success
undreamed of by them and as we are the
gamers let us not allow jealousy to crowd
out iustice.-Nephi Times.

A BIIhroN-DoLLAR CROP.

The French proverb that Providence
takes care of the United States has once
ted corn crop, which, according to the
estimates of eminent statisticians fur
nished to the New York World will be
worth nearly if not quite a billion dol
lars. and for which a considerable for
eign market will be OPPORTUNITY opened
by the failure of the British harvest This
is at least a billion-dollar country in pro-
duction and not merely in the expendi-
ture sense.-Philadeiphia Record,

Chairman Cannon.

The present chairman of the Republican
rarity, George NJ. Cannon, held for years
an office in Salt Lake city, that is said
to have yielded him larger salary than
is received by the president of the United
States. George NJ. is very pious, and, we
believe, scrupuloUsly honest He is a
blatant tall<er, and lost whatever influence
he possessed in the recent constitutional
convention by saying too much.-Logan

WHAT UTAH EDITORS SAY.
Utah County Democrat.

Republican papers keep on suggesting
candidates for Democrats to nominate. 1t
amuses them and does not hurt us, so
let 1t go on. Our convention did not
speak last Saturday, hence, as a party
organ, we have nothing to say at pres
enr. As a matter of news, however, we
must note that since the territorial COM
Inittee have expressed a desire that names
be suggested for United States senator's,
we find that Utah county Democrats are
neither forgetful nor ungrateSul. Joseph
l.. Rawlins and his good work lives in
the hearts of Democrats in Utah county.
