The heavy sentences imposed on
the alleged smugglers OF the Henri
eta seem to indicate that the auth
critics mean business and intend to
put their foot on all lawlessness.
We now expect to see the Attorney
General and his clever police make
a move in the Frank Godfrey mat
ter, and bring the towards who
committed che outrage on that Am
erican citizen, in the streets of Homo
lulu, to the bar OF justice, where
Judge Perry of course will handle
them without gloves. Attempted
murder is surely worse crime than
an attempt to import opium, and
our Christian Government can hard
ly class an outrage like the one
committed on Godfrey below the al
legged intention to land some contra
band.

The longer the Idaho senatorial con-

Dubois, (who is moving heaven and
earth for Sweet in order to serve his

A WAVE OF PUGNAC1TY.

There must be something in the ele-
ments which tends to disturb the poll
teal mind. Something in the air agi-
tates the nerves of statesmen and
rulers. Scarcely a day passes without
news of a squabble between promi-
Inent persons, and blows are prevented
only by the interference of friends. 1t
appears to extend over the entire
country. High words, opprobrious
epithets, and threatening gestures en-
phasize disputes in Washington. and
are duplicated in San Francisco. From
the national Capitol in the East to the
Municipal Halls in the extreme west
the wave of pugnacity wends its way
These scenes are very disgraceful.
They are passed over too quietly. Some
punishment ought to follow such in
fractions Of law and violations Of pub
lie decency. The men chosen to make
laws for a great nation ought to be
superior to the common braWler. They
ought to be themselves submissive to
law. And if they have not self-respect
they should have regard for the place
to which the eyes of the nation are
turned, and where the wisdom of the
country is supposed to be assembled
About half century ago similar
scenes were witnessed and aroused
much indignation. They caused the

THE SITUATION AS TO SILVER.

Before the recent tariff bill was
passed great many of the Democratic
silver men from the south were held
back from taking a vehement stand on
the question because of the necessity
of harmony within the ranks of the
party in order that tariff bill might
be passed and the Mckinley monstros-
fifty forever wiped off the statute
books. But the tariff bill is now prac-
tically out of the way. BY the time
the next national platforms are made
the bill will bealooked upon as one that
should be made the basis of our tariff
system for a good many years to come.
The lower duties on the necessities of
life will by that time have so COM
mended themselves to the people of the
country that the Republican party will
not dare to declare for a return to the
prohibitive robberies of the Mckinley
law.
With the tariff issue out of the way
the financial issue crowds to the front
to become paramount, demanding a
speedy solution. The repeal of the
Sherman act did not bring a realiza-
lIon OF the predictions of the single
standard men. The gold blanket was
speedily seen to be much too small for
the financial bed and the people of the
country, the worhingmen and farmers
who make UP the great mass Of the
voting population have marked the up
ward rise of gold attendant on the
increased demand for it, and reports
are coming in from all over the country
that free silver is gaining Roadway.
The solution to the financial problem
must be made soon. 1t is the desire of
the administration that it shall be
Settled by this Congress, but that de-
sire seems doomed to grevious disau-
pointment. A special session of the
next Congress may be called to pro-
vide relief for the treasury with every
indication that the silver men will,
prove potent to hold a majority of the
Senate
1t viii be remembered that in the
fight for the repeal of the Sherman act
Senator Voorhees, promised that this
legislation would be followed by more
that was favorable to silver. This was

PICKING ANOTHER QUARREL.

Alas! our lot is a hard one. We have
again incurred the dtspleasure of the
Deseret Evening News. Everyone
knows what that means in this
country We have tried, we try daily,
to avoid this awful calamity. We exer-
else all the caution that nature has
endowed us with, and yet when we
day by day anxiously await the APP
! pearance of the Deseret Evening News
and trembIingly unfold it's pages, we
often find our worst fears realized and
that we have grievously erred. That
we are unregenerate and given over to
the buffetings Of Satan is probably true
since castigations of Us are couched
in language which the News appar-
emily regards as un-Christian in deal
! ing even with that arch-offender and
old time enemy, the Tribune.
! Our very latest lapse consisted in
publishing q communication from Boise
| in which the current runors concern
| ing Mr.. Ben Rich and the six Mormon
members Of the legislature were faith
! fully stated-that is. the News does not
hint that the report is not faithful
But such things must not be mentioned
it seems and so we bow in humble sub
mission to our richly merited fate
Out, accursed correspondence! Our
first thought was to call in the whole
contaminated edition, our second to
enter a humble protest, such as be-
cometh our condition, against the
organ of a great church using such
Incorporate language concerning an
erring brother.
P. S. If the News questions the ac-
curacy of any statement made by our
correspondent, let us have a bill OF
particulars. If our offense is in stating
what is really being said in Boise, we
plead guilty to the offense, to-wit
giving the news-an objectionable sin
in the view of our evening contempt
rary. We assert that such things are
being said and that far from our hav-
ing erred in reporting them, we have
performed distinct service to thought.

the understanding on which other
Democrats supported the repeal bill
1t will also be remembered that Senator
Hill was one of the most ardent of the
supporters of the repeal bill. Three
silver men were then missing from the
Senate. on account of the failure OF
the legislatures of Wyoming, Montana
and Washington to elect. Further than
that there was the necessity of party
harmony to bring the Democrats into
line, as well as the immense power of
the new administration with all the
prestige of victory.
Conditions are different now. Those
Democrats from the south who are
favorable to free silver realize that it
is the one question that is before the
people. They know that the majority
of the party does not uphold President
Cleveland in his action in the matter.
Senator Voorhees,, who was so
severely criticized by the silver men
because of his leadership in the fight
for the repeal of the Sherman act, is
still strong silver man. 1t is stated
that during this session he had pre-
pared a speech setting forth his views
and expressing his Willingness to fight
with the friends of the white metal.
Had occasion offered he would have
delivered this speech; but so far moth
ing has occurred to bring it forth and
he did not care to offer it unless the
occasion justified it.
a stronger man for the silver party is
Hill. 1t was known during the last
presidential campaign that he was a
free silver man and this fact was used
to his detriment among the Mugwumps
in New York. However, later on, his
utterances seemed to indicate that he
had experienced change of heart and
would not cast his lot with the west
and south, but would join with the
faction who still clamor for inter
national agreement
But Hill has taken occasion within
the last few weeks to renew his al
legiance to silver Some months ago
he wrote letter to Clark Howell, edi-
tor of the Atlanta Constitution, which
was released for publication short
time ago, but was not given a very
wide circulation either by the goldbug
press of New York or the press asso-
cations In the letter Hill said he was
a believer in free silver, with inter
national agreement if that could be
secured, but, if not, then without it
He also declared that the Democratic
party in 1896 should make free silver
the issue on which to go into the fight.
If the issue depended upon the SEN
ate, then it would present favorable
appearance. But the House will pro
badly be under the domination of Reed,
which means no good to silver.
If the Democratic party could only
have union and sense enough to take
up and push through Congress the
Jones bill, that would prove not only
salvation for the party but redemption
for the country and the re-awakening
of prosperity for the silver producing
regions of the West.

The Mckinley bill was entitled IAN

the moment it went into operation it

lands surplus of one hundred millions
to be eaten up and left unpaid bills of
half that amount at Mr.. Cleveland's
second inauguration. In 1891 more gold
flowed from the treasury than during

the outflow was four times greatet
than in 1891, a greater proportionate
increase than has since occurred.
