THE Logan County CO., Index is
a standard republican paper, and
ranks high among the enterprising,
intelligent aud reliable journals of
that great newspaper state. Its
editor is conservative, aiming always
at a lofty principle of right. The
Index Yields a strong newspaper
influence over a group of counties in
the best part of Ohio. 1t recognizes
the great Importance of the financial
issue, and is not monometallist in its
position. 1t is strongly opposed to
the financial policy Of this corpulent
administration, and presents its OBJ
jections in a reasonable and accept
able light.
We have tried by every possible
means to discover the drift of sen
timent in the east. We have
hoped the silver idea would grow
strong enough to predominant in the
republican party. Now our hearts
are cheered by the Index's semi-in-
dorsement of the following silver
plank which it is proposed to adopt
in the coming state convention and
which is advanced with weighty
argument by Judge VIM. Lawrence,
one of Ohio's brightest and brainiest
public men. We wish our republi-
can friends god speed in their efforts
to indorse the same:
The Development of our mines of
gold and silver, (1) giving employment
to labor, (2) increasing the demand for
farm products, and (3) adding to the coin
supply and wealth of the country should
be encouraged by legislation and diplo-
macy. The demonstration of silver by
any nation is a stupendous evil. We ia
vor such measures as will make gold and
silver coin on a just ratio equally legal
tender money of ultimate redemption.
We favor (l) the coinage by our govern
ment of all the gold and silver produced
by our mines, (2) an international none
tary conference of the bimetallic nations
to secure bimetallism and CO discrimina-
ting duties against mono-gold nations.

interesting of all public questions:


1t is reported that the peoples party
and other organized anti-monopoly clc-
mcnts will be switched by a few leaders
into the support of free silver aud that
question made the only issue in the cam
paign of next year. Against such Il move
ment we protest and will oppose it till
the close of the polls in 80. Free coin
may be important to the welfare of the
people, but of all the issues now agitat-
ing the public it is the LEAST, and if the
silver advocates imagine they can side
track the reform forces they certainly
mismeasure their possibilities.

To Sacrifice Her Child.

Newton Blagg, a rancher residing
ear Chatteroy, Wash, came home
just in time to save his two-year-old
child from a horrible death. The
wife driven insane from religious
frenzy, had built an altar in the
woods near the house, upon which
she had secured the little babe, pre-
paratory to roasting it alive. She
was engaged in offering up a prayer
for her sacrifice when her husband
returned in time to save the child.

ABOUT COMPANY STORES.

A serious evil confronts the west
ern town which sooner or later must
be era Heated. 1t is known by the
somewhat expressive name of "the
company store" Whatever right it
has to exist in a manufacturing town
matters Motive will show to the sat
~isfaction of every reasonable mind
that it has no business whatever in a
mining town. Its effects are destruc-
tive of the liberties Of all, whether
employed or unemployed.
The prospector blazes a trail to the
mining district. BY perseverlng and
persistent labor he exposes the veins
of hidden wealth. To him is due
much credit for subsequent success;
because it is he who makes it possible
for capital and corporation to find a
footing.
Men invest in the property of a
mining town because their judgment
tells them the mines are rich enough
to insure the future growth of that
property in value. The miner pur-
chases a lot, and builds a house where
he and his little family may feel Sc
cure in the comforts of home. Mer-
chants take stock in the town, erect
store buildings, invest in supplies Of
goods, and in course Of time a com.

lines is established and goodwill.

YSAYE'S TRIUMPH.
He Fairly Fascinates u Great Audi

He Fairly FaScinates u Great Audi
ence at the Theatre.
1t is safe to say that no greater ar
fist ever faced an audience at the Salt
Lake theatre than the magnificent
creature, Ysaye, who charmed a big
audience last night. Coming with no
flourish. but borne on the tide of his
own splendid personal powers, he
bowed to a most critical gathering of
cultured people and soon had them
under the mastery of his influence.
At first the audience was cold, and
though it seems almost impossible for
such a stalWart statue Of repose as
Ysaye to seem uneasy, we feel almost
certain that his first number suffered
from some such cause. Thereafter,
however, all was superbly done. The
critics can only attempt to describe
what was done, for it is beyond the
power of anyone to point out any
special feature of praise where all is
perfect.
The first thing to thrill was the
beautiful quality of the tone. It
seemed as though some new instru-
ment was in his hands, something of
peculiar moving power with which we
were not before familiar; but yet it
I SlfnDle,
pure, masterful. There may have
been something in the quality of the
instrument, after all, for it is a re-
moved violin of priceless value, a
Joseph Guarnerius del Jesu.
The great claim made for Ysaye
that he combines the different abili-
ties of Wilhelmj. VieuXtemps and
Paderewski seem verified by his per-
Torrance. Probably the divine and
unapproachable master, Joachim, is
his only living superior. He does not
pose or show off IN any way. He has
a splendid personality, however, and
an appearance of perfect mastery over
his instrument. From first to last,
there was not the faintest tinge of
clap-trap, nor Of playing to the
crowd. Interest and admiration in
creased as the performance continued.
The very highest class of music only
was played, and yet it seemed to en-
ter into the appreciation of everybody.
It was revealed to his hearers what
lesser players are aiming to accom-
plish. To the infinite relief of listen
ers, the violin was not made to talk
there were no bag-pipe passages, no

fine music throughout. The utmost
enthusiasm was evoked by his final

Ysaye was accompanied on the piano
by NJ. Lachaume, who also rendered
some fine numbers, notably the
Eleventh Rhapsodie of List.
The late corners had a lesson read
to them last night. They were not
permitted to take their seats while
Ysaye was playing. Manager Burton
had difficulty in securing the conces-
sion of their being permitted to enter
the doors, as the rule has been en-
forced of keeping closed doors during
the performance of the early numbers.

Passenger Agent Wadleigh, Of the Rio

Francisco yesterday, after an extended
visit. To a Herald reporter the gentle
man emphaticalIy denied having given the
political interview recently printed in a
San Francisco paper.
Il am not dabbling in politics at all

and have not talked politics to anyone"
Mr.. Wadleigh says that railroad business
on the coast is fairly good, and the OUT
look for an immense tourist passenger
business to the west this season is most
encouraging. He believes travel will be
heavier than ever before. This means,
of course, that Salt Lake will have an
unusual number of visitors this summer.
