ton, but the pang Of the moment be-
comes intolerable when we know OF
nothing beyond the moment which it
soothes US to anticipate! Happiness
lives in the light of the future; at
tack the present-the soul de6es you
Darken the future and you have
crushed it! When the further it pro-
ceeds the more dim and shadow
grows the goal and when its startled
gaze rests on the vast lazar- house
around without hope of relief
death becomes the sole physician!
OF course there are hundreds OF
other causes for the suicides that oc-
cur. A thousand ills and heart
aches borne until its hell tor
ments the soul to seek the other
shore. The torture and agony that
the doing away with life may promise
relief from, perhaps we courser moulds
may not conceive. Let us not brand
them towards until the power is
given us to penetrate the mysterious
springs of their being as an open
book.
Remorseess shylocks of the world,
wherein lfe's SO brief rather destroy
the bond than send soul before its
time to stand before its maker. If,
as men and women bend DER the su-
icide's coffin and whisper he was mad,
the tortured soul at rest beyond the
maddening world came back to breathe
there was less of grief, Of sin, of sor-
row and distress in the shadow land,
a thousand Charons would not suffice
to convey the eager throng.

A QUESTION POINT.

10 Genital City, Col, August 80,
fourteen miners were drowned by the
flooding OF the Americas and Sleepy
Hollow mines, and their names are
given as follows Olivia Patnoster,
w. Vegas, Abili Apancini, G. Crosk-
eaback, U. Maraota, William Prisk,
William Thomas, o. Brouse, Thomas
Williams, Thomas Calbis, j. Harris,
Steve Vallero, j Perki, Martin Ra-
coma. AS we have often said before,
there is n deep tale to be cleaned
from the simple perusal of the names
in these cases. 1t gives the story of
good number of our strikes. 1t
tells the secret OF the violence that is
perpetrated IN those strikes honestly
undertaken by genuine Americans TO
redress grievances. 1t also brings
Out burning question. This: Grant
ing all the grandeur, all the great
ness, all the broad Americanship OF
the principle of high protection,
during all the years we have built up
great nation with its beneficial aid,
where, OH where, has been the pro-
lection, the benign benefit to the
American laborer, and why is it that
when lot OF laborerers are killed
around these mammoth enterprises,
built up by that principle, the lists
always consist of such a lot of pecu-
fiar and musical sounding names? Is
il bccause the American laborers have
jumped the job, gone to wandering

An election was held last Tuesday at
the Cross school house by the farmers liv-
ing under the settlers dith TO determine
whether or not an irrigation district should
be organized. The vote was In favor Of
the district. full set of officers were
elected, Boise Sentinel
That is fattering commentary on
the common sense supriority OF
Weiser farmers Our shrewd, keen
agriculturalists had the district idea
before they had read the law, but as
soon as a few copies were obtained
and examined they read between the
lines and deep below the surface and
could see the pitfalls and death traps
concealed under the smiling face Of
the act. The Cross farmers are evil
IDENTIFY not as sharp or they would see
tue dangers they are drifting into
While one feels joyful over the supe-
rior wisdom and foresightedness that
blesses this lovely vale, there is a
twinge Of pity for the innocent igno-
rance so generally pervading some
other communities and admitting of
their being decoyed into what will
surely bring them misery and woe
when they are dashed upon the con
cealed dangers before referred to.

THE LEAP OF THE CRUSHED SOUL


-Four prominent men committed
suicide in Kansas City IN as many
days and all from the same cause,
financial trouble. And SO it goes.
For more than two years have the
wires been ever bearing the news
more frequently than ordinary con-
ditions should bring about The
pages of the press have been literally
spotted with these finger marks of
wild despair, and may those vicious
and selfish ones who are responsible
for much Of tue suicides, find the
pages of their earthly record as equal
ly spotted on the Great Day when
they shall be spread for the
Almighty's inspection. When we
say those who are responsible for it
we mean those who are responsible
for the vicious legislation that uner-
ringly drifts the business of a coun-
try into the straights that cause mems
ruin and pushes them into self de-
struction When one half the world s
money was struck down by those who
had the other half in their control.
thea was sown the seed that has
worked woe to mankind. The con-
troll of gold enabled the controllers to
wax fat off the world and its mass of
OF humanity and the plethora of fat
to the few could only be gained at
the cost of flesh to the many. The
man who has led business life, who
has grown up and passed the years
in certain kind of atmospere, fol-
lowed his particular channel past his
meridian knows little of any other
kind of life Around the cycle he
has pursued his even way, happy,
~ ESf
contented and enjoying the pursuit
of his career of business which has
ran so smoothly for so long; but
gradually, imperceplibly comes the
change. The commercial air about
him grows dense, there is heaviness,
u tightening of the breath; the life
seems Slapped out of the elements he
is accustomed to handle and they do
not quick as of old to his efforts,
heavier and heavier hangs the oppres-
sive atmosphere, and harder and
harder is it for him to grasp the reins
that guide along the way. cit is the
slow passing of the flesh of
many into the fat of few At last
the worms have completed their work
Oh the foundation, the structure
crashes and ruin has fallen on the
man whose whole being stands appal-
led at TIE calamity That having
been his sole pathway, he has not one
single conception of how to carve out
another existence. When going his
way he is suddenly frozen
by the horrors of the path before him,
when it is broken, filed with yawning
rhasms and towering, ominous rocks
from behind which leap dread shapes
that bring with them the lowering
darkness OF doom, the startled soul
stands transfxed, then gazes in mad
horror and turns and leaps wildly into
the dark, dread, unfuthomable and
beyond. Misfortune does
pot affect men SO long as there re-
mains the hope Of the future stealing

OUBA'S NEW ENEMY.
A dispatch of the 3Oth ult. reads

n uispuIch VI luc 0UIu ull. reauS.
The treasury department today received
telegram from Collector of Customs
Cottrell, at Cedar Keys. Fla. saying that,
at The request Of the Spanish consul at
Tampa. he has seized, at point 20 miles
from Cedar Keys. $50 Remington rifles.
II quantity of cartridges and II kegs of
powder which were to have been shipped
to Cuba
Now we do not know the terms of
the treaty laws between the United
States and Spain, but we think we
know that common sense in such
treaty ought only to pledge this
country to refrain from assisting in
any armed opposition to Spain by
other powers, and to prevent our soil
from becoming safe rendezvous for
conspiracy against the Castilian
power or allow any of our citizens
while within the secure pale of Amer
lean protection to become active in
aiding the enemies of Spain Tor any
other country. But it seems impos-
sible that the treaty should make it
incumbent upon us to give her active
help in her trouble. When Cubans
come over here, having the freedom
of our land, and purchase a vessel,
purchase arms, purchase ammuni-
ton and prepare to depart with them,
by what authority are they seized?
They have simply made a CONNER
cal transaction and should be allowed
to depart with their goods; then, after
they leave our land, if they come
within the range of any other power
it is for them to look out for their
own welfare. If they attempt to land
on Cuba, it is a matter for Spain to
keep them away. On the other hand
il a number of American subjects
should load vessel with war sup
plies with the intention of going over
and delivering them to Cuban insurg-
ents and then skipping back home, it
would be, perhaps, thing for this
government to stop in order to keep
faith with Spain. We should, how
ever, treat Cubans with the same
courtesy, the same impartialty as
any other foreign people 1t is not
plain that the incident in the dispatch
is not an active blow by this govern
ment at the struggling Cubans them
selves. If Japan and Russia were
to engage in war and the Armour
company sold Japan a cargo of
canned beef and japanese men were
to come over here, buy vessel and
load it al New York, we do not think
this government would feel obliged
to seize the supplies and prevent
their departure in order to maintain
its treaty relations with Russia. And
why should it with a few kegs of
powder destined to Cuba in charge Of
Cubans? Every true American, every
lover of freedom hopes the insurg
ents will throw Off the yoke of Spain.
But it is plain the administration
loves anything smacking of aristoc-
racy, of monarchy, of the power and
sway of the few who constitute
of wealth, and hates freedom
and the advancement of the masses.
This was fully illustrated in Hawaii.
1t is not surprising that the birth of
another free people so close by should
be distasteful to the administration
gang, and that whenever an oppor-
tunity offers it will slyly cut the
ropes by which the Cuban strugglers
for liberty are hanging to life.

Notwithstanding the PENNSYLVANIA plat.
form Is little equivocal on silver. we
want the people of Utah to understand
that the triumph just achieved by Sen.
ator Quay in that state is likewise a tri-
umph for them 1t possibly means that
the Pennsy lvania delegation will go to the
national convention next year with Don
Cameron AS cnnhidntc. with free sill
yer platform behind him. AS we construe
the report, the great labor element of
Pennsylvania rallied around Quay and
gave him the victory, which all people
who have watched the contest consider
something marvellous. The result brings
more hope to the friends of silver than
the result of any other convention that
has been held this year.-Salt Lake Tri-
bune.
That is the way the road is being
slyly smoothed, over which to put
party above principle. How can the
triumph OF republican gold bugs in
Pennsylvania hold out any more hope
for silver than the triumph of demo
crat gold bugs in Kentucky? Why
didn't the Tribune see something
bright for silver in Carlisle's victory
in Kentucky There ought to have
been as much as there is in Quay's
in Pennsylvania
