Dental surgery means not the sim

them to healthy condition, broken
off teeth serve as attachments for
bridge work, and by crowning them
they are thus made useful as or
gans of mastication and expression,
doing away with the torturesome
plate. The new methods IN dentistry
must and do take the place of the old

Equal JUSTICE TO ALL.

Washington, D. c., seems to he very
much stirred up over the endeavor to
make the Edmunds law, which was in
tended to apply specially 10 Utah. ap-
pllcable to the District of Columbia
When Senator Edmunds was aDpeaIed
to IN reference to the injustice of the
enforcement of that law against a
practice in Utah while it was not en-
forced against licentious persons in
other territories and under other con-
dItions, he explained that the law was
not intended for Sporadic cases.
But Senator Edmunds' Interpretation
of the law is not binding on the courts.
The law of 1892, construed with the
law of 1887, in reference to sexual Of
lenses will be found to apply to all
places over which the United States
have exclusive jurisdiction. This is
the view taken of the meaning of the
law by some at least of the authori-
ties at the National Capital.
The Washington Star, however.
gives an account Of a recent raid upon
disreputable resort in the dark part
of town when all persons found among
the premises were taken into custody.
But it appears that while the women
in the house were locked up and after
wards fined, the men were set at lib
erty. The Star rightfully says: There
should be no determinations in the
enforcement of the law exempting its
open and fragrant violators. The au-
thorities must not strain at a gnat and
swallow camel" That is correct
Wherever that law is applicable its
enforcement should be equal as to all
classes and both sexes. The punish
ment of unfortunate women while i'm
munity is given to lecherous men. is a
violation of the principle of justice and
is disgrace wherever practiced or
permitted.

NOT TOO MUCH SILVER.


To the Editor of the Exaniner-Sir: Ac,,
cording to Carlisle, John Sherman and
the gold men generally, silver was os-
monetized because of over-production. II
this be really the case, the question
arises, Why did not the same cause
bring about the same effect prior, as
we'll as subsequent, to the year 1887 We
find for example, that between 1545 and
179l, A. D., a period of nearly 80 years,
the yield of precious metals was as fol-
lows:
Gold o., I'll. OVU
Silver 294, 164. 900
Here we see the total of silver exceeded
that of gold by over 100 per cent, without
affecting the parity of the two metals
10 any conceivable degree. But to pro-
coed further, it appears that between 49,
1880 A. D.. the fgures were respectively
Sold SSe'0U0'O0 ~
During these four decades there was
200 per cent more silver produced than
gold, and at this time, # ever, demone-
tization should have. been in order; but
bankers, bond-thleveS, Stock-Sharps and
finance-boodlers generally had not cap
tured the money control of the world,
and such an idea never even entered any
hody'S mind. In 1873 silver was demone-
tiZed Oh the ground. as we have stated,
that there was too much of ii being pro-
duced, and yet the record for the two
metals between 1852 and 1872, the twenty
years Immediately preceding the I'M
speakable crime, was:
Gold s, AZ. SOC. 600
Silve. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $4,000, 600
In other words, after having been able
TO endure an excess of $50 TO 200 per cent
Of silver over gold for three centuries,
these gold-bug worthless concluded that
the time TO stop the further production
OF silver was at the end OF period that
had yielded only $500 coo, GO of that metal
against S2.005. 100000 of gold. There is no
disputing these figures, as they are taken
from the authorized tables of experts on
the yield of the precious metals from the
discovery of America to the present day,
and they show the hollowness and stu
pidity OF all gold-bug pretentions on this
subject. But it will be said: Look at
the enormous output of silver since
49," to which we answer that the pro-
duction OF gold has been equally great
and that of silver only exceeds it by sore
or per cent. If the world could stand
p 200 per cent excess of silver over gold
for hundreds of years, it can easily
stand a paltry or per cent excess now
Besides the yield of silver since 1873 has
no bearing in the merits or dement's of
demonstration in that year, as all the
silver produced up to 1885 was still in the
ground in 1877. Let silver men memOriZe
these few fundamental faces and they
will have ii in their power to make gold
bugs feel decidedly uncomfortable when
the latter assume that there is an over
production OF silver. or, judging by the
past. that the world is likely to suffer
much by the occurrence of that mag
mary calamity again.

government and the costs of war es-
sential TO national preservation.
1t is this tradition, out of which the
Democratic party was born, that has
drawn the masses to it. 1t is this ira
dition and this popular support that
makes the Democratic party the
natural champion of silver remonetiza-
ton, for the reason that silver de-
monetization was an act of confsca-
ton of public property -and all pro-
perty-for the benefit of d class.
When the issues between the tive
parties are reduced to their lowest
terms we find one of them ranged with
the privileged class, armed with the
powers Of taxation i'm favor Of class,
and the other ranged with the mass,
and denying the right of taxation
which the Republican League at Cleve-
land has declared shall be perpetuated
for the good of the privileged classes
that have practically usurped the gov
eminent.

HAS MUCH TO LEARN.

A paper newly started and evidently
managed by persons not familiar with
local affairs, raises in the start an
objection to the names given to our
streets. These are denounced as ''pe-
culiar' and also nuisance, and it is
said that There is no reason for their
existence. The City Councillors are re-
quested to immoTtalize themselves by
changing the street names. Anything
but what they are will suit, so long as
they hit on something else than what
are designated the "nonsensicaI"
names now in use.
This is very old subject which was
discussed and settled many years ago.
The kind of immortality which our city
fathers would gain by following this
crude suggestion would probably be
that of everlasting condemnation.
1t is only to strangers or newcomers
that the street nomenclature appears
singularly awkward or difficult. When
they once understand the system,
which is a very simple one, they at
once lose all desire for change. It
IS the only plan that is deserving the
name of system. All the schemes
suggested as substitutes for it are ar
bitrary in their character and furnish
no guide to a stranger nor to any one
else not thoroughly familiar with the
geography of the city. Any one who
understands the starting point in the
present system can find his way to
any street in Salt Lake City with a
very little reflection. Nobody wants a
change except persons who have not
given the matter careful attention.
The same paper finds fault with
County Attorney Whittemore for not
calling in some local furniture man to
give his opinion on the value of the
goods furnished to the City and
County building, and also states that it
is aware that there is no furniture
factory in Salt Lake"
The truth is that two furniture men
were called in and they made a thor
ough examination of the goods and
gave list Of the prices of each par
ttcular article. Their estimates are on
file and will doubtless be produced
when the investigation is again re-
sumed.
A great deal of furniture is manu-
featured in Salt Lake City. And sew
eral firms have been engaged from
time TO time in the business. There
ought TO be more of such work and of
other home industries and we have no
doubt there will be very soon.
1t is always wise to he sure on a ques-
ton before touching on it in print Mis-
takes, however, will occur in the best
regulated household and newspapers,
and a little more familiarity with local
affairs will doubtless prevent similar
errors to those we have mentioned, in
the future

WHAT OF KENTUCKY.

'Alas. and what of Kentucky? And
the Kentucky Democracy, what of
them? Kentucky which was so
grounded in its love of silver. which
was TO signal to the south a new de-
parture. What Of it?'
These are questions put to US by
the esteemed Tribune. Has our emf
nent strad6ler forgotten that the Re
publicans held a convention in Ken
lucky on the 5th instant? Possibly. If
so, we desire to jog its memory on
that very important point And what
Of that convention? And the Kentucky
Republicans, what of them? And the
Republican party through which alone,
we are told, free coinage must come,
what Of it?
Why, that noble body of patriots
passed q resolution expressly con-
demning free coinage-the Democrats
did not go so far as that. And they
passed it unanimously-the Democrat
ic resolutions did not pass without
struggle and a heavy minority vote.
Next. We desire right here to sign
articles with our esteemed neighbor to
compare the records of the two parties
on silver, made at any time or any
place. north, south, east or west, past
present or future
Our assertion is that while free
coinage has much to hope from Dem
ocracy, it has nothing to hope from
Republicanism.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-06-28
FAvoRs FREE COINAGE.

Among the members of the Demo.
cratic National Committee who are in
favor of the free coinage of silver is
Hon. Arthur Sewan, National Commit
teeman from Maine. He has put him
self on record with a full and thorough
endorsement of the free silver plank
adopted by the Illinois Democratic
state convention. His bold utterances
have startled some of the goldite pa
pers of the east. and those which are
of the Democratic persuasion have
talked of reading Mr.. Sewall out of the
party. But the chief Democratic news
paper of eastern Maine warns them
that if they were to try it on they
would find that the gentleman is in
harmony with IAN overwhelming ma
Jority of the Democrats of his state"
Commenting on this, the Boston
Journal, which does not by any means
agree with Mr.. SewalTs politics, has
this to say in reference to the attitude
Of the Democratic party on the silver
question. We copy it for the benefit
of a local Republican sheet which is
so blind that it will not see the truth
in reference to this matter. The Jour-
nal says:
Believing as we do that Mr. Sewal
is mistaken in his extreme silver
views, yet it seems to us that the fact
must be in all fairness recognized that
they cannot be objected to on the
grounds of party regularity. Indeed,
If II comes to a show of hands it will
be the easiest thing in the world for
Mr.. Sewall to demonstrate that as
matter of party discipline Il is he
who is right and his critics who are
Wrong-that he is the orthodox and
they the heretics on this silver ques-
ton. No better test of the dominant
Democratic sentiment could be asked
for than the opinions of the Demo-
cratic representa- tives in Congress.
Now 1t is known that of the entire 1O5
only twenty are opposed to free coin
age. and that seventy-fve. or two
and half times as many, favor It.
II anybody is to be read out of the
party. therefore, it would surely seem
that 1t ought to be not Mr.. Sewall. who
peheVes as more than two-thirds of
his party believe. but the men who
nave rashly ventured to condemn his
attitude.
