The Mckinley demonstration in New

CURRENT COMMENT.
MR.. REED AS A CANDIDATE.
New York Sun. }


New York SUM-
Major Mckinley has done better than
the most sanguine friends could have ex-
pected, but most of the delegates have
yet to be chosen, and the mo-
notony OF Ohio successes will
soon be decidedly 3 changed. Merton
and Allison have been the only interrupt
tions so far: this week Gov. Morton will
be put forward, and Mr.. Reed, who has
been attending strictly to business at
Washington and holding the nose of Con-
gress to the grindstone of economy, will
begin to be heard of as q candidate with
brains, enthusiasm and solid New Eng
land behind him. The Massachusetts
convention will be held this week, and
Henry Cabot Lodge and other distin-
guished Bay State Republicans will be
on hand, and the candidacy of Mr.. Reed
Will be urged as representative not only
of Maine, but of all the New England
States. The conventions of the rest of
these will shortly follow. MIR. Reed, who
has been somewhat collapsed of late be-
cause engaged in the quiet discharge Of
his duty, and unable to find time, if he
had the disposition to soour the country
for delegates, will be on mems lips as
much as Maj. Mckinley has peen since
the Ohio convention. The perspective
will be altered to truer scale, and Maj.
Mklnley whatever may be his real and
ultimate CHI n es, will cease to occupy
that misleading pre- emf nence among the
candidates which has lately been his.
MIR. Reed has performed great services
for his party, and he has not shrunk
from making enemies. He suffers some
what from his own superior intellectual
force and courage, just as Major MoKin-
ley may be found to suffer from his early
appearance in the field and the DISPOSE
ton of his friends to force the fighting.
Morton, Reed and Allison will form a
line which the most desperate rushes
may find hard to break. Sagacity of lead
ership seems to be or at least to be exhib-
d1dates more than in the Mckinley
ranks. Nor will the friends of Morton,
Reed and Allison ooncede TO the Ohio
candidate any superiority of popularity
Or prospects. He was first to arrive; for
time he was most of the show, but soon
the stage will DO occupied by actors as
important and with as eager friends in
the house. The fun begins.
THE EFFECT OF FREE COINAGE.
New York SUM.
An esteemed correspondent asks us to
describe the probable effec is of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, at the
ration of 16 to 1, if that measure should
be adopted by the United States. We are
also asked to give details as to who
would be benefited by it and who would
suffer, and all the rest. We are sorry that
neither our time nor our imagination
that, in the event mentioned, the dollar
would become in purchasing power ssthe
equivalent of the present half dollar or
whereabouts; and the consequences every
one can work out for himself.
AN EXPLANATION
The Portland daily press., 1896-03-25

The abandoned Oxford county building
on Paris Hill will be held by the county
comm issioners until an authorized agent
of the original heirs appears to demand
the keys. The original deed of the land,
given century ago, provided that when
ever "the county buildings upon this
land cease to be used for county purposes
they shall revert to the original heirs"
The heirs are numerous, but it is not
thought they will be able to recover the
property from the county, as the officials
can hold it in custody until someone ap-
pears with better legal rights than they.

YOUTHFUL THIEVES.
THREE YOUNG SHOPLIFTERS BE-
FORE JUDGE veneer.
One of the Results of Allowing Boys
to Congregate in saloons--An Evil
That Should Be Stamped Out.

Judge Wenger's time was taken up
case against several accused of shop
lifting. The evidence brought forcibly
to notice an existing evil which the
police ought to De Jealous in trying to
exterminate.
Three boys were arrested few days
lifting. Two of them had in their pos
session three ladies' velvet capes
stolen from Auerbachs store. ne If
the garments had been sold for 81 .
a lower State street damsel of shao J
reputation This led to their detection
by the police.
Two of the ooys, whose names will
be suppressed on account of their
connections and previous good conduct,
were placed on the stand yesterday and
explained how they came into posses
sion of the goods. They stated that a
few nights ago when they were seated
in a saloon On Second South street, the
third boy came in with the capes I'M
der his arm. He told them that they
had been given to him by his father,
who had failed in business, ITO sell. The
bargain was nPade and one of the
oapes was sold.
When the third boy was placed on
the stand as a witness he frankly ad-
mftted that he was a trusted employee
at Auerbach Bros store, and that he
had taken the goods one evening when
he quit work. He further stated that
he did it at the request of a man
whose acquaintance he had made in
downtown resorts. This man, he said,
had promised to meet him in saloon
and he took the capes there, in ac-
cordance with the directions given; but
the Individual Gid not meet him. He
thereupon took the capes to the Second
South street saloon and gave them to
the other boys as stated.
When the judge questioned the
youths they stated that they were in
the habit of congregating at the sa-
LOOM They would come together and
talk over all sorts of schemes for
uhieving expeditions, and drink and
carry on as if they were men. The
boys parents were in court and added
their testimony aus ito the previous good
behavior OF the culprits, and as the
Auerbach firm did not care to prose-
cute, the youngsters were discharged
pending good conduct.
This shows that the police ought to
enforce the law prohibiting saloons
from catering to minors. There are
several saloons in this city almost sup
ported by this class of trade, and these
places are nothing less than breeding
places for crime of the worst charac-
ter When a boy once gets into the
habit of visiting these places there is
always something to attract. Bad
leads to worse, and the penitentiary
is very often the final goal to which
such dives are the opening gateway.

General Notes.

James A. Stewart had hearing be-
fore Justice Sells yesterday on charge
of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. The facts appeared to be that
Stewart, who follows the occupation of
peddling, bought 5000 worth of harness
from Charles Grove and paid for the
goods with worthless check. He was
arrested in Juab county and brought
back to Salt Lake by Deputy Sheriff
Thomas, who also recovered the har-
ness and returned it to the owner.
Stewart was fined $50 and costs, and
in default Of payment was ordered
confined in the county Jail for fifty
days.
Charles Davis was sent to the county
Jail from a Murray Justices count for
twenty-five days for pe6dling without a
incense. 1t appears that Davis is
wanted in Ogden on a charge of burg
larry. There is some doubt, however,
as TO whether Davis is The right man.

HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

A clerk il Main street grocery
store told little fish story ON another
employee in the same establishment in
the Walker house last evening. A boy
who had recently come from the east
obtained employment in the store, and
the first day customer asked him
what finnin haddie were selling at.
Strange to say, he was stuck, for he
didn't know what the article was. He
asked a clerk and was shown the dried
fish a few days later male Gus
toner asked the new boy if the store
had any lucerne. Now lucerne is strict
~ a provincialism, and the paralyzed
boy informed the customer that there
was none in stock.
Then going back in the store he
called the clerk aside and said: Say,
old man, what kind of fish is lucerne?"
