Bhsw wide Difference of Opinions Held
by President Cleveland.
DENVER, April IL. - General A. j.
Warner, in an interview, stigmatizes
President Clevsland's financial letter as
dishonest representation Of facts which
contained an apprehension of defeat. Mr..
Sibley said that the letter was string OF
glitteripg generalities and empty words.
James B. Weaver oharaoterizes the letter
as stupid.
Senator Jones of Nevada, who is at
present I'm New York, has sent letter to
Mr.. Sibley, the presidential candidate OF
the American bimetallic party, In which
he discusses financial questions and Presi-
dent Cleveland's letter. and says:
"All evidence points to contest OF
unexampled Importance in 1896, the re-
suit Of which, from monetary point OF
view, may make it the contest OF the CEN
tury. Every advocate of unrestricted silver
coinage should stand up and be counted un.
mistakably for his principles and for the
faith that Is In him. This he cannot do
within the ranks OF any political organi-
cation other than those of the American
bimetallic party.
"An friends of silver should. therefore,
rally to your support. II they do this,
they need have no fear of the failure OF the
cause they hold dear. They will find
themselves In an overwhelming majority
In the country, provided they have but the
courage TO step out of the old ranks and
into the new. Every lover OF his country
will wish you success.
II hope to have the honor before the
great canvass closes to address some re-
marks to the intelligent and progressive
voters OF Denver, which will ever be en-
shrined In the hearts of all who would see
justice installed In the monetary system
of our beloved country"

CONCESSIONS.
China Very Much Under the
Power of Her Enemy.
What Is Seen in the Offensive and
Defensive Alliance.

WASHINGTON April II. - ON cial con-
frmation Of the press reports Of the sign.
ing of treaty of peace between the pleni-
potentiaries Of japan and China was TO
ceived by Secretary Gresham late yester-
day. IL came from Minister Dun at Toxic
and was very brief, merely stating that q
treaty Of peace he'd been finally concluded.
1t Is doubted whether the Indemnity has
been brought down a. low as Sl00, ,0O00 600
in gold. As to the territory which Japan
Is TO possess it Is understood that aside
from Formosa, which is absolutely ceded,
the remainder of the seaboard will be sub
ject only to temporary occupation, prob
ably until all Of the indemnify has been
paid.
This would leave Japan in temporary
possession of the entire Laotung penin-
suaa, from Port Arthur, at the southern
extremity, clear up to Moukden, the oap-
ital Of Manohuria, on the north, and from
the Liao river ON which New Chwang is
situated. on the west to the Corsan border
ON the east. This territory amounts to
about 81, 900 square miles. and IL popu-
lated BY about !. 0oo 900 people.
Alliance Means Much.
The report Of o condition that there
shall be an alliance. offensive and de-
fensive. between japan and China Is not
credited In Japanese circles, whore 1t Is
not believed to have been even suggested.
1t is said that the feeling between the two
peoples ID 30 hostile. and the differences OF
government and habit are 80 pronounced,
that, even II such q stipulation were In
cluded, IL would not be expected 10 have
any great binding force should China

among the European powers.
On the other hand, some OF the diplo-
matio body here are inclined to believe
that the alliance has really been made
with an earnest purpose to execute It,
They see in 1t the realization Of the proph-
cry of eminent scholars recently made.
that these two nations would eventually
combine against Occidental methods and
commerce, and Herewith would be ''the
Orient for the orientals."
Europsaa Commerce 1Iay Suffer.
Ii Hung Chang is said to have enter
tanned strong conviction (which he has
concealed from prudential motives)as to the
wisdom Of such combination, believing
that by q close alliance with Japan
China would secure an army strong In
military prowess, while Japan would So
surc in return practical control Of the
greatest trading people Of the East.
OF course such q contamination at this
time would mean the destruction Of Euro
pean commercial interests In the Orient,
and 1t may Do that strong opposition will
soon develop on the part of some Of tho
powers to this feature Of the agreement
IL Is noted, by the way, that this treaty
Is not final In all respects, but simply q
preliminary agreement, indicating on
broad lines the ultimate terms OF the
definite treaty Of peace. which may not be
perfected fer months to come

third clause OF the convention, that pro-
viding the retention by Japan Of tho ter
ritory she has conquered east of the Liao
river probably refers to Hal Chow, In the
province of Kiangsu and the island of
Yuchow, which 1t was reported the Japan
ese had occupied before the armistics was
declared.
The sixth cause. providing for an offen-
sive and defensive alliance between japan
and China is, The Time declares, q vague
term which will mean nothing for Japan
beyond what suits her convenience. It Ia
possible that this clause covers nothing
moro than some commercial agreement,
which will undoubtedly include favored
nation" treatment from China. The ed
itorial concludes with the statement that
speculation as to the remote consequences
of the Eastern upheaval would be very un-
profitable.
The Chronicle declares that an offensive
and defensive alliance between China and
Japan Is impossible. 1t would be def
ance to Europe and danger to the
world.
The Standard takes 10 for granted that
Japan will have to submit the draft of the
peace treaty to the European powers, just
as Russia did after the war with Turkey.

1t viii be remembered that when the

a notable prevalence of new tangled no
tons. Spiritualism was creating great
excitement. Its manifestations We're at
tracing the attention of the public, and
almost every community in the land had
its medium and its circle 1t was an
epoch of isms. Half the country had
gone daft on hydropathy and Graham
bread. People washed all of the vitality
out of them with cold water and aggra-
waited the anaemic condition induced by
this treatment by prescribing meat as an
article of diet and limiting themselves
to farinaceous food. Added to all the
rest there was little dash of free love
and a sprinkling of socialism. 1t was
not a comfortable time TO live. Every
other man or woman had some sort of
wheels in their heads, and various alb
surd inroads were made in the old whole

THE WOOL QUESTION.

The wool raisers and wool dealers
of this territory who hear of the con-
Trajectory nonsense uttered from
time to time on the wool question by
the Salt Lake Tribune, make a good
deal of fun over its figures and
phrenzies. There are so many of
them that it would take more space
than we can spare to notice them all
/ But we will touch upon a few Of
them. lest once more it becomes so
wise in its own conceit that it takes
/ silence for consent to its vagaries.
The Herald. in speaking of the
! shortage of the wool clip Of the coun-
try this year and specifying in which
/ states it occurred, disputed the as
! sertion of the Tribune that Utah's
/ loss this year amounted to about 3.
/ 900, 600 pounds, in consequence of ''the
/ killing off of the focks." We showed
! that Utah had increased its number
/ of sheep in the year by S9,S97 head.
/ That paper now lodges this fact by
/ stating that it derived it's informa-
/ ton from a Utah sheep man, that the
wool clip of Utah was short to that
amount. Did the gentleman tell the
/ Tribune that there was a shortage of
wool through the killing off of the
''focks?' We do not believe it. But
if he did, the information was wrong
/ like most of the Tribune's alleged
wool figures and arguments.
We stated that under the opera
tons of q high tariff the price of wool
has declined, and that on the repeal
of that tariff prices have advanced

which put a duty of II cents a pound
on wool, its price in this country went
down even below the figure of the
duty.
The same peculiar reasoner asserts
that the present price of Utah wool is
eight cents a poundI We do not be-
lieve it knows anything about the mat
ter but depends on what it is told by
wool men and others. The latest prices
are from II to IS cents with an upward

makes comparisons of prices at differ
ent times and takes care to contrast
eastern prices at one date with Utah
prices at another date, so as to con-
fuse its uniformed readers.
But it is not true that Utah wool is
now selling here as low as eight cents.
The last sales in large amounts Melted
from 91s cents to go cents. Some
sheep men are still holding to their
wool for higher figures. If they had
all held on as The Herald advised.
they would have gained higher
prices but were deceived by the
fallacies and falsehoods of alarmists

MIR. CLEvELAxD,s AMBITION.

No season is more fruitful of politi-
cal speculation than the summer be-
fore conventions for the nomination of
presidential candidates meet. Every
man of prominence in either party
comes in at least for an honorable
mention" as a candidate OF course
the incumbent of the White House is
sure to be the center of more or less
gossip, and if he has had a second
term the most natural of questions is,
Does he seek third term? Mr..
Cleveland's intentions just at present
are giving rise to much gossip and con-
lecture. From his own lips no one knows
whether he is ambitious Of q third
term or not. A usually well informSz
correspondent, Walter Wellman, writ
ing from Buzzard's Bay, says that
''the simple truth is that Mr.. Cleveland
would Ike to go into history as the
man who refused a third term as pres
ident. He is awaiting an opportunity
TO make that record" That such an
opportunity viii present itself to him
is scarcely probable, although this cor
respondent thinks it will. Where are
10 be found those who desire him to
take such a nomination? That the
gold bugs and some oficeholders ad-
mire him very greatly there is no ques-
ton. But even the gold bugs do not
admire him to the extent of breaking
with all tradition in the matter. And
what is this tradition? It is that
no man should be president of the
United States more than twice, and
it has the prestige and approval
OF Washington example jefferson
favored one term, at first of seven
years. The tradition was never Ge-
parted from until General Grant tried
10 secure a third term ard signaIly
failed. That attempt is blot upon
his career. The Democratic party
above all parties is opposed to third
term, andze nomination for AIR. Cleve-
lara Tor a third term would have to
come from tl;at parry. II by any
means it did come ne would be ever
wheImingly beaten a. the polls. for he
would have arrayed against him a
solid Republican parry, all the silver
sentiment and anti-th.r1 term senti-
ment Of his own party. The ambition
TO have refused 70 third term would
have resulted in ignominious defeat
accompanied with disgrace.
Until Mr. Cleveland speaks no enc
can know his sentiments on this ques-
ton. but the sentiment of the country
can be, and it is as positively opposed
to a tf.isd term for any other man as
IT is for q king to rule the people.

OFFICIAL KNOWLEDGE.

1t is very often a question whether
ignorance or official knowledge is
most to be relied on when trying to
ascertain the truth regarding any
matter. There has been any amount
of rumor from the Jackson's Hole
country and paucity of definite
news. This state Of affairs has given
number of people a chance to rush
into print and express very positive
opinions on the matter, their positive
ness supplying the place of know
ledge. The latest person to do this
is Secretary Ryder of the Indian de-
partment of the American Missionary
association. He is very sure that
''if ever in the history of our country
a protest ought to be raised by
Christian people against the slaughter
of the Indians it is now" Indians
ought not to be slaughtered at any
time, and to wantonly kill an Indian
is murder as much as to wantonly
kill a white man is, and should be
punished the same So far every one
will agree with Secretary Ryder. But
the gentleman goes too far; he as
sumes an air of superior goodness,
when he says: 'Those who know of
the brutal character of many of the
white men that live in this western
territory and their intense hostility to
the Indians have grave suspicion
that this was planned in order to
kill the Indians
This shows the great superiority of
official knowledge over common
knowledge. The phrase grave sus-
picion" sounds so very wise when in
truth it isn't wise at all. No doubt
Mr.. Secretary Ryder thinks that
about all the people of the West are
such characters as are portrayed in
the Police Gazette as cowboys. To
charge this against him may do him
a wrong, but we have a grave sus-
picion'' that this is really how the
matter stands.
If Mr.. Ryder and such as he would
come West, learn the character of
both the Indians and whites who live
here, they would be better prepared
to grapple with the problems about
which they talk so knowingly; pom
pous official knowledge would give
way in large measure to actual
knowledge. There are no doubt mis-
conceptions on both sides; but ali
the Indians in the West are not good,
all the white men are not bad.
