France has strenuously protested
against this expedition, alleging that
it is not made in good faith for the pur-
poses assigned, but as mere excuse
for the prolongation of the British &C.
cupation of Egypt. France, of course,
has the right to be heard on Egyptian
questions almost equally with England,
on account of the amount of French

UTAH REPUBLICANS AND PROTEC-
TION.

The action of the various county Re-
publican conventions that have been
held in Utah within a week past on the
silver question and protection is truly
remarkable They have right along
declared for silver as against protec-
ton; they have refused to accept the
prime Republican doctrine that the
prosperity of the country has been
/ owing to protection, or that protection
can completely restore confidence and
prosperity.
I The Republicans of Sewer county
held their convention Thursday and
passed this resolution:
Resolved, That we will not support
the theory that by protective tariff
alone the industrial well-being of the
nation can be preserved; but that we
ask our representa- ives in conventions
and in congress to link in their labors,
as they are linked in truth, the union
one and indivisible of bimetallism and
| protection.
It always has been the Republican
doctrine that by a protective tariff
alone the industrial well-being of the
nation can be preserved" And if at
all acquainted with the history of their
party, the Sewer county Republicans
must know this.
On this question of protection the
Sewer county convention may be
taken as representative of the party
throughout the state. The Republican
party has never accepted the doctrine
that bimetallism and protection neces-
sarily go together. Had it done so, it
would never have demonetized silver
as it did in 1873. What Republican ma
tional convention has ever declared
that free silver is essential to the pros
perity of the nation? Is there a think
ing Republican in the state who be-
lieves that the st. Louis convention
will come out for free coinage? There
is small likelihood of even straddle
on the money question in that conven-
ton, such as the Ohio plank. The
financial plank will be as pronounced
for gold as the Massachusetts, is, if it
is not that identical plank.
When Republican conventions in
Utah pass such resolutions as the one
above quoted, one of two things seems
almost certain: they are silver men
first and Republicans afterwards, or
else they call themselves Republicans
not knowing what Republicanism is.
There is no doctrine in the Republican

THE FIGHT IN ILLINOIS.

Members of the administration in
Washington are said to be very much
concerned about Illinois. 1t is said that
state, that it was going to be all right
for sound money" there would be no
more anxiety as to the result.
Such is the statement of the Chicago
Times-Herald's Washington correspon-
dent. Because of this uncertainty on
the part of the administration, Mr..
Carlisle, whose special mission seems
to be to work injury to the Demo
cratic party, is to be sent to Illinois to
preach the gospel of sound money"
In the near past the Illinois Democ-
racy has been very largely for free
silver, and the sentiment for it is still
rife Herein lies the anxiety of the
administration. The local sentiment of
the party in a city so great as Chi
cago is very liable to have an over
whelming influence on delegates to the
convention. Mr.. Cleveland is more
than anxious to educate" this senti-
ment, for, as the Times-Herald's cor
respondent says, "all the chances are
that if Illinois takes firm stand
against free silver the Chicago conven-
ton will adopt a ringing declaration
in favor of sound money and no com
promise" We do not believe that such
are the chances.
Then he goes on to say this is the
only programme that the administra-
ton has at the present time. Its gen
eral desire is to control the convention
on the currency question. Candidates
are now under discussion. One MEN,
Der of the cabinet said today: We
are wholly without plan or purpose ex-
cept the single idea that we cannot
afford to let the party go over to the
free silver heresy. ALI our fight is to
be made on that. If we lose, the NOM
nation may go wherever the free sill
yer people wish to take it. If we win,
we care little for the name of the can
didate, so he represents true Democ-
racy and sound money. The president
is not candidate, and yet it is my
belief he would accept if nominated
Mr.. Cleveland must not be allowed
to control the convention on the cur
rency or any other question. Already
through his use of the patronage he
has made himself too much of a party
dictator. A dictator calling himself a
Democrat is no better than a dictator
calling himself car or emperor by di-
vine right. And this dictator, a cabi-
net officers says he believes, would
accept nomination if rendered. He
seems to be dallying with the laurel
wreath to find out how the people feel.
They feel that they have had too much
of him already.

MIR. LARksoN,s REPORT.

According TO an interview in the
New York Sun it appears that Colonel
j. . GARRISON has not been very deep
ly impressed with the intensity of west
ern Republican conviction on the sill
yer question. Concerning the free sill
YER sentiment west of the Missouri
River, he is reported to have said,
l am convinced from my observa ton
tha- the voters of those states alleged
to be free silver scates believe more in
sheep and lumber than in free silver,
and that this will be demonstrated at
St. Louis"
We think Mr.. Clarkson has rightly
! taken the measure of the western Re-
publican states. If his report had been
| about individuals he would have been
mistaken; for there are MANY Renuh-
licans in the west, ana very many of
them who are sincere silver men and
put it as an issue above party politics:
but when it comes to guaging the sem
| timent of the western states that is
another thing and we believe the mat
ter will turn out as Mr.. Clarkson has
forecast it.
If the Republican party is successful
at the polls, to get free silver will he
Impossible, and so far as the represen-
tatiVes apd senators of the west being
able to coerce the eastern representa-
tlVes into granting free silver by tying
up protection, that is all folly. the
east would not yield; and the western
republicans, believing in protection as
Wen as free coinage, and finding that
free coinage could not be had nnon
the principle that even half a loaf is
better than no bread, they would call
on their representatives TO secure pro-
lection to wool and lumber, etc.: and
dhat would end the tie up.
1t is interesting also to note that
Mr. Clarkson believes That Major Nc
kinney viii be defeated at St. Louis"
ard assigns the following reasons:
mat he is an extremist; that the
Republicans east of the Mississippi do
not relieve in another political revoiu-
tioh on the lines that Mr.. McKinley's
managers have laid down, and that
/ they believe in a conservative and wise
cShuiuate, VINO Will represent the pro-
lection policy of the Republican party
and who will not dicker with the free
silverites,'
1t must be remembered that these
remarks are made by national COM
mioteeman who has just returned from
tour of the west, and whose finger
is upon the public pulse.
Every day, it becomes more and more
certain that the Republicans at st.
Louis will declare for moderately high
protection, and a single gold stand
ard. There is no hope for free, unlim-
tied and Independent coinage of silver
through the Republican party; that
can be concluded upon now as well as
after the st. Louis convention.

CHICAGO CONVENTION HALL.

The Democratic national convention
at Chicago viii be better housed this
year than it was four years ago. Then
the largest national convention ever
held in the United States was held in
the largest dry goods box ever made
in the world. 1t was large, ugly, cheap,
nasty and leaky as possible.
Details of the plan of the convention
hall this year, according to the New
York Journal, show that there will be
ample accommodations. The conven-
ton hall proper joins the Coliseum on
the north end, and occupies a space Of
$50 by 800 feet. There will be seats
for two thousand delegates and alter
mates and thirteen thousand spectators.
guests, the bands and the newspaper
correspondents and telegraph operal-
ors. A new feature is a public re-
ception hall, with a capacity for ten
thousand persons, where the delegates
and the public may gather before the
sessions begin. The arrangement Of
the seats, the convenience and safety
of the buildings. and their adaptability
for the purposes show superior COM
prehension of the needs of such con-
vention; but, more to the purpose, they
show a regard to the personal comfort
of delegates, speakers, newspaper re-
porters and spectators rarely shown
before in a convention hall
The Chicago convention four years
ago was too large, and there was much
good sense in the suggestion of Cen
eral Patrick Collins that the next one
be very materially smaller. The one
this year will be about the right size.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Some Arc Luckx


Mr.. Isaacstein was down in the mouth.
His eyes were heavy, an expression of
the bitterness of life lowered about his
lips, even the sparkle of his diamond
stud seemed to have lost it's wonted bril-
liancy, and he walked with his hands
deep in his trousers pockets, needless of
the fact that such a process did but aid
the inevitable wearing out of those same
trousers.
Mr. Bolitski came walking from the
opposite direction. His head was thrown
back, his step brisk and cheerful, and
his gold watch chain dangled merrily
against his well-filled waistcoat
And in the natural course of events
Mr.. Isaacstein nearly ran into Mr.. Bo-
litski.
