AS TO GARFIELD.
Editor Herald :

Editor Herald:
One of the speakers at the Republic
can ratification meeting last night
spoke of the "martyred Garfield . A
martyr" is some who dies for the
sake of a cause"
For the sake of what cause did
James A. Garfield die? If it is neces-
sary Tor euphony to use polysyllabic
adjective with Garfield's name. muir
dered' would answer the purpose and
have the advantage of correctness. He
was killed by a Republican crank. and
his death grew out of an adherence to
the spoils system, and if a martyr. in
any sense, was a martyr to his devo-
ton to it. 7.
Our correspondent is right. But he
must make some allowance for Re-
publican rhetoric, which is like their
logic and their facts, considerably
mixed and very "onsartin." Garfield
was assassinated but not emartyred.
The Republican Orator doubtless
wished to convey the idea that in some
way he was the victim of his political
opponents, but it will not work except
with the extremity ignorant.
In the same. line is the common Re
publican appeal TO the people to sun
port the protective policy of the great
leaders of the party, among whom
Garfield receives particular mention.
He was so named at the ratification.
Garfield declared himself believer in
that kind Of protection that leads to
free trade" How does that strike the
raw Republicans Of Utah who express
their appreciation of the. Mckinley
monstrosity? 1t is evident that they
are not Garfield Republicans.

A PARTY ISSUE.

In the campaign just opening the
silver question will probably cut an
important figure. It ought to be
rightly placed before the people of
Utah. If they are led to depend on
the Republican party for the restora-
ton of the white metal, they will find
that they have tied themselves to a
hollow pretense and leaned on the
rottenest kind of a broken reed.
One of the pleas which the Republi-
cans propose to make to the people of
Utah is that the Democrats, during
their lease OF power in the last Con-
gress, failed to do anything for sill
yer, and therefore Utah voters should
support the Republican candidates.
That is just like most of the Republi-
can theories and pretenses. 1t is i'm
pudence allied to deception.
The Democratic party in Congress
showed a large majority in favor of
free silver coinage, and if as great
proportion of the Republicans in the
two houses had also come to its sup
port bill for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 1870 1
would have been passed. We will
here quote once more what the Salt
Lake Tribune published at the time in
reference to this subject:
The Republican party by it's repre-
sentatives in Congress has shown it,
self basely, idiotically recreant on the
silver question, without sense or party
advantage, indeed, contrary to both.
The Republican representatives could
at any stage of the vote carried tho
day. They could have forced free
coinage at 20 to /; they could have Sc

cured it at 16 to /; they could have
defeated the Wilson repeal bill"
| The article goes on to declare that:
"The Republicans have made an an
tf-silver showing so radically and in
excusably worse than the Democrats
! have made" etc.
| That has been the attitude of the
! Republican party toward silver, ever
since its action in 1873 in demoneti-
zing the white metal by trick If
| blame is to be attached to the Demo-
cratic party for not repairing in two
years the wrong perpetrated by the
| Republican party and maintained for
| twenty years, how much more blame
lies at the door of the Republican
party, as the demonetizer of silver and
it's persistent foe during all the Con
crosses of which it has had control
since '73?
Where is the Republican State con-
vention that has declared for the free
| coinage of silver Independent of other
countries? Where is the indication
that the Republican party will do any,
thing for silver in the future? Where
is the Republican mentioned as a can
didate for the Presidency who is a
free silver man?
Let our Democratic friends take up
this silver gage and fling it in the face
of the foe. 1t was the Republican
party that cast silver down. That
party has stamped upon it ever since.
That party during the two decades
after thus demeaning the white metal
defeated every measure introduced in
Congress by Democrats for it's restor-
alton. That party aided in the repeal
OF the purchase clause of the Sherman
act and then prevented the substitu-
ton of free silver coinage measure.
That party all over the Union, except
in the silver regions where it dare not
openly fight silver, vehemently OPP
poses Independent action by the
United States for silver remonetiza-
ton.
The Herald has never said the Dem
ocratic party is sure to Elk silver"
1t has said, and proved it beyond fair
dispute; that the only hope for silver
is IN the Democratic party. There is
none at all in the Republican party.
Ihere is not an indication that the
Republicans will change their bitter
anti-silver policy, dating from 1878 and
declared everywhere but in these
parts today. The silver issue should
py all means be made part of the con-
troVersy during this campaign, and the
Democrats need have no fears as to
the result on a fair field and no favor
Give the Republicans silver facts un-
til they cry enough

PURITY IN Politics.

1t has been truly said that poll
'tics makes strange bedfellows."
Many other trite sayings have also
been uttered about politics and poll
ticians.
1t remained for John J. ingalls,. how
ever, to announce that "Purity in
politics is an irridescent dream
That, however, was when John was
not only in politics, but was among
the greatest leaders of Republican
men; when he had admirers by the
thousands, and, no matter what course
he might pursue, defenders by the
hundreds.
1t was also while at the zenith of
MS power, when, as Mark Twain has
said, everything seemed to be creased
Tor the OCCASION that the same genial
gentleman, in reply to a query from a.
youth, as to the method to pursue to
succeed in politics. and a definition of
Republican policy. replied:
Get there!
The average man needs not the 81 III
of the dictionary; he does not need to
go back to the derivation of the two
words quoted above to arrive at their
meaning.
Now comes this same John J., who
boldly and openly announces that he
is a candidate for his old seat in the
Senate, and has made the broad state
ment that if there ever was an incom-
petent, inadequate, insincere Congress.
1t was not the fault of the Congress.
but the men who sent them there; and
he also deals out advice, in anopathic
doses, as to the best methods of bring
ing about realization of that 'frri-
descent dream
From all of which it may be safely
inferred that "the politician with a
job and "the politician out of a Job
are two separate and distinct species
of the genus homo.

ToPSY-TURyY LAND.

''Lotos-Tune in Japan" is the name
of book just published by Henry T.
Finck, Wagnerite and philosopher, and
a bright reviewer who has read it
gives his impression of the mikado's
country, as described by Finck, as fol-
lows:
Japan is the miniature land, with
its one-storied houses, it's men Of the
average height of our women, the wo
men not over four feet, five inches,
where chickens and their eggs are
about the same size OF our pigeons,
where tobacco pipes and wine cups
seem to have been made for dolls,
where carriages are little Kurumas of
the size of baby carria ges, and horses,
men; where puns are admired and
plagiarism extolled, and where pupils
dismiss their teacher; where milk,
cheese and butter have only lately been
known; where the women tell their
real age; dancing is done by hired
girls; courtship by proxy; where they
read from the end of the book from
right to left; where everything is
topsy-turvey- a bride. wears mourn
ing; ghosts are welcomed; theatres
are in the morning, the old men fly
kites and the boys look gravely on
where they follow the veins of coal
upward instead of downward into the
mountains, where the art of
kissing is unknown and fire
works are fired in the daytime.
They eat pickles with their rice cakes
instead of syrup; wash their dishes in
cold water; build their homes of light
materials, never of stone; in entering
a house they take off their shoes-we
our hats; the abdomen, not the heart,
is the seat of the affections; they cult
vate plum and cherry trees for their
flowers, not their fruit; carry babies
on their backs, not in their arms; place
their horses tail first in their stalls;
they always place the town first in
addressing letter and name last
From all of which it is fair to sur
mise that there are many people in
America who should, by right, have
settled in Japan.

their rascally selves as injured inno-
cents. Language fails these worthless
to express their great indignation.
They do not show one spark of de-
cency, self-respect or sense of honor;
they show themselves to be devoid of
all moral sense. Their black conduct
puts a foul stain upon bicycle racing
that must be removed Immediately or
it is liable to become indelible.
Bicycle riding and bicycle racing
have become national in extent and
character. They had nearly supplanted
all other forms of sport. Baseball, once
! the national sport, has sunk into decay
and is in disrepute through the cor
ruption that has entered into it's man
agement. But it took quarter of d
century to reach its present low state.
These three crack class B men have
Shown that bicycle racing can sink to
the lowest level in a single season.
Glass B men are not professionals,
but they are very near them, and pro-
fessionalism in sports seems to have
the effect of corrupting and degrading
all who take to it. The reason for this
is not far to seek. Professionalism
makes of sport means to an end,
that end to get money. And when it
has reached this stage those high in
stincts of honor and proibity that gov
ern all true sportsmen are found lack
ing; and any trick, no matter how
low, dishonest or contemplate, is
deemed justifiable if it but succeeds.
Cabanne, Titus and Murphy have
reached this stage, according to the
news from st. Louis. That their action
will be condemned by bicyclists all
over the country is certain, but it
shows what dangers beset bicycle rae
ing. They must be removed or they
will kill the sport, and that soon.
