TIE NEW STATES NEW SENATOR'S
Careers of Frank j. Cannon and Arthur
Brown.

Careers of Frank j. Cannon and Arthur
Brown
The men who are to represent the
brand new state of Utah in the United
States senate are Frank J. Cannon and
Arthur Brown. They are both Repub-
hcans and ardent supporters OF free sill
yer. They are young men from young
state, and their careers will be watched
with much interest.
Mr.. Cannon is a native of Salt Lake
City and is the son of George @. Can
non, who is known throughout the
country as political power, mine
owner and the executive head OF the
Mormon church. He was also mentioned
as a candidate for the senate, but his
son proved to be more popular. Senator
Cannon is Mormon. He will be at
home in Washington, for he has already
served one term there as delegate when
Utah was territory. He was again a
candidate in 1892, but was defeated by
Joseph L. Rawlins, Democrat.
Mr.. Cannon is barely SO years old.
He was graduated from the University of

IT has long been a favorite theory
among certain classes. particularly those
people who would rather not recognize
the real cause of the general decline in
prices, that improved machinery has had
much to do with it, by reducing the cost
of production. If they would consider
the great cost of new machinery, the
necessity for frequently replacing it by
other and still more improved and the
higher rate of wages which it is neces-
sary to pay skilled operators of such
machinery, they would readily discover
that improved machinery has had little
effect in reducing prices. The fact is
that prices in all lines, even those with
which machinery has no connection have
fallen. The decline began when silver
was demonetized and has been going on
almost'continuously ever since.

bases Of supplies could sweep our coast,
while our naval force could not venture
far from home ports.
In many ways st. Thomas is valuable
as a strategic point in naval operations.
1t is directly in the path of several
steamship lines to South American
countries. It is, in fact, the keystone Of
the West Indian arch. In its harbor tho
whole white squadron could swing at
anchor with safety. The basin is almost
completely 1andlocked by an island
which nearly blocks the entrance to the
bay. Rising abruptly up from the shores
of the harbor are high hills which could
easily be fortified. There is no fort on
st. Thomas now, but there are some fine
promontories on which a few could be
located.
The island itself is of little impor-
lance outside of its maritime position. It
is only 1 miles long and about miles
wide-just about as big as Manhattan
island, upon which the city of New
York is built. The inhabitants nun Der

Dutch in 1867 and since then has been
held at different times by the English,
Germans and Danes. In 1871 it was
taken possession of by the Danish West
Indian company and came regularly IN
der the Danish government in 1854. The
other two islands have a similar history.
For several years it has been a we'll
known fact that Denmark was anxious
to get rid of her West Indian posses
sions. There was a time when a big
revenue was sent from st. Thomas to
Copenhagen, but this was when that
port was a general distributing port for
all the West Indies. st. Thomas was
then a port where almost every ship
sailing south stopped. All the other is

Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick, the wom-
an whom ex-President Harrison is soon
to marry, is niece of his first wife, who
died in October, 1892. during the last
year of Mr.. Harrison's administration.
Mrs. Dimmick's first husband was Wal
ter Dimmick, son of Samuel E. Dim
mick, we'll known lawyer of Homes
dale, Pa, who at one time was attorney
general Of the state. She was quite
young then and Mr.. Dimmick died soon
after the marriage. Some years after
this her mother died. and the sad cir
cumstance enlisted the sympathy of her
aunt, Mrs. Harrison, who invited her to
make her home at the White House.
Mrs. Dimmick gladly accepted and
proved to be invaluable as companion
and assistant. While the wife of the
president was much engaged with the
social duties which her position de-
manded, Mrs. Dimmick took charge of
the household and looked after the per-
sonal comfort Of the president and his
wife. They both became very fond of

SATAN GOT INTO TIE GARDEN


Nearly all of our Republican, ex-
changes are talking about fusion be-
tween Populists and Democrats in Kan
sas this fall just as though it was trne.
The only authority for such foregone
conclusion is that published in the STATE
JOURNAL, January 10, and it is absolutely
false, but how many thousand Republi-
can papers will reiterate the lie? We
have been told the name of the reporter
who started the false report and our in
formant thought him to be the most
reliable writer on the JOURNAL staff.
If he be the most reliable, God pity and
the people condemn the remainder
Valley Falls indicator Pop.
The story is essentially true. The
JOURNAL reporter was sent to Kansas
City when the news of the 'secret' meet
ing reached the JOURNAL office and it
came through one of the most prOmi-
nent and respected Populists in the
state, who was not in sympathy
with the meeting. The JOURNAL
sent thoroughly reliable re-
porter to gather what information
he could about the matter. Although he
was barred out of the meeting, what was
done there was told him by one who par
ticipated. The Populists must not get
into the way of thinking that there are
not schemers and wire puIlers in their
ranks. Reformers are apt to gaze raptur-
ously on the beauties of the new heaven
and the new earth they are evolving,
while down below these cloud capped pal
aces, skulduggers and manikins are
merely fixing things SO that they can get
office, just like the common clay in the
Republican and Democratic parties. 1t
is unfortunate that there are people in
reform" parties that love to eat, drink
and be merry at others expense, without
any more regard for the principles of
their party than pig has for astronomy.
Men are of the earth, earthly and some
of the earthiest men Kansas ever saw are
in the Populist party. 1t is true there
are some patriots, but somehow or other
the reins of power were snatched from
their hands long ago.

trouble was. The sore throat developed
into a swelling of the throat which
prevented the patient from taking

showed a marked Improvement and was
able for the first time to swallow a lit
