WHAT mkrNLEyIsM MEANS.

McKfnleyism means the opening OF
the mills, the revival of industry, the
prosperity of labor and the dawn of
new era of peace and progress. 1t
represents the intelligence and energy
which have made this the greatest and
richest of nations; it typifies the spirit
of enterprise which has placed America
among the foremost industrial countries
IN the world, and il proposes that the
advantages thus bravely won shall be
increased and extended by return to
the rational policy of protection under
which our most splendid achievements
have been accomplished.
So says the Mail and Express If
McKinleyism means this it is an en-
tirely new kind of AIcKialeyism. The
country was but too familiar with
the old kind, the kind that the
people repudiated in 1892 If Nc
Kinleyism were such a benefcient
thing, why was it that the peo-
pie refused to keep it? Even its
friends always cite the year 1892 as the
great example of the blessings of Nc
Kinleyism, though it continued to be
the policy of the country until August,
1894. The last year the people were I'M
der the protective aegis of Mckinley
ism the deficit in the government rev.
enue was some seventy odd millions.
Since the tariff law of 1890 was re-
pealed the countrys export trade has
grown as never before, and it is con-
tinually on the increase. What does
this mean? 1t means that this country
is capturing foreign markets, and when
once they have been captured there is
little danger that they will not be
retained. The reciprocity clause of the
tariff law of 1890 has been lauded to
the skies as a very sesame for opening
foreign markets. but it is not to be
compared with the tariff law of 1894 as
a sesame to open foreign markets.
What the tariff policy of President
elect McKinley's administration will be
it is perhaps too soon to surmise with
any degree of accuracy. We think it
is scarcely likely to take the shape of
an entirely new tariff law. If it should,
and it should be along the same lines
as the policy of President Harrisons
administration, the probabilities are
that failure and disaster will overtake
Major McKinley's administration, the
same as it did President Harrison's.

FINGER PRIN -.

When Mark Twain published "Pud-
din Head Wilson" the public looked
upon his finger print method of identi-
fication as pleasing concert. 1t seems,
however, that the plan is in use in
connection with the Beraillon system.
1T is estimated that the chance of
identify in finger prints is about one
in $4,000 100000. Practically that
amounts to certainty that no two
prints will be found alike
The method of taking the imprint is
to rub Che finger ON glass tninly
coated with printers ink 1t is then
pressed on paper and the individuals
unforgable sign manual is recorded.
When one looks at the lines of his
finger. they seem so regular that the
thought would never occur that there
is no ether finger among all the mill
lions in the world that is marked just
the same. Burs if he should undertake
to find a duplication of the lines, he
would enter upon a more hopeless task
than does the farmer boy when he
starts out to find two potatoes alike.
There are no two individuals alike
in amy particular contributing to their
identity. They are not alike in physical
marking nor in points of character.
The great law of nature seems to be
that each human being shall be dis
tinct from all others, an entity in and
of Himself, an individuality definitely
hedged ABOUT and protected from
being mistaken for or becoming con-
fused with any other. Each is given
his opportunities and each must give
an account, in his achievements, of the
stewardship conferred upon him.
Moreover, each becomes responsible to
all others for his actions. AS ne is Sc
cured in the enjoyment of all of good
that ne accompIisnes, so is he made re-
sponSible for t4he evil that he does. He
cannot escape; he cannot transfer re-
sponsibility; he cannot hide behind
others-this being one of the striking
conditions of human existence that is
as strikingly eXeTnplified in the delicate
yet diverse marking of the fingers of
the great family of mankind.

the general business of the country dur
ing the next four years, it cannot pre-
vent this state from going ahead Our
resources are of such a character and
our position is such that the state must
progress even if the rest of the country
should not.
Much, of course, depends upon the
attitude of our people. If they de-
termine to make things move there will
be progress. The conditions that may
initiate against the prosperity of other
sections will tend to our benefit. If
the country as a whole is prosperous
Utah will share in it; but, if need be,
we can go ahead while the people else
where are obliged to stand still.
The Herald has called attention to
the fact that gold mining may be far
more popular as a channel of invest
ment than ever before. We have a field
here for such investment that is not
excelled anywhere and we can attract
a large share of the money available
Tor employment in the industry. If
that business is pushed, all others will
be benefited and property of all de-
scriptions will be given increased value.
1t can easily be demonstrated to any
investigator that conditions are as
herein stated, and there is no reason
why we should not attract capital and
enter upon a new era of prosperity.

THE LOBBY EVIL.

few years ago the Massachusetts
legislature inaugurated a reform of
which much was expected but from
which only little has been realized. The
idea was to place effective control upon
the lobbyists, but the class against
whom the law was aimed have ignored
it with impunity, and people who ap-
preciate the Importance of the sub
ject are. asking what is to be done
about it.
The lobbyist evil is one that has long
given concern to those who desire good
government. There can be no question
of the right and propriety of persons
interested in any measure appearing
and advocating the same Nor can it
be denied that, under proper regula-
tons, hired advocates may properly
appear before committees and even
labor with members individually. but
that great power for evil has grown
up and been unscrupulously welded
cannot be denied. Men VINO are sup
posed to have personal influence with
members are given large fees to lobby
against or for a measure They ap-
pear on the ground under some other
guise and often accomplish their pur-
pose without those whose votes they
influence suspecting that they are paid
for the apparently disinteresled service.
In other cases lobbyists are paid sim
ply because they are wnat are termed
fs0nnd follows ~,
they are skilled in the arts of corrup-
ton, and they generally masquerade in
some other character than their true
one
In order to remedy the growing evil,
Massachusetts, enacted a law providing
that lobbyists should register. The
law was subsequently amended, max
ing it more stringent; but an examina-
ton of the register, made by a Boston
paper, has disclosed the fact that the
lobbyists have ignored the law. A few
lesser lights interested in comparatively
unimportant measures have registered,
but the big fellows who have overrun
the statehouse and more or less inf1u-
enced legislation have failed to inscribe
their names in the book
The secret of the failure of the law
is that the agents of the corporations
are so successful in ingratiating them
selves with the legislators that they
are permitted to defy the law made
respecting them. The circumstance
certainly brings out the danger of the
lobby system in stronger colors than
ever before.

But she went from me to him,
Wherefore l go broken-hearted.

Would not keep my love in dresses.

A FRANK ADMISSION.

1t always takes big man, especially
one in position of national promi-
nence, to frankly admit an error or his
ignorance upon any subject upon which
he is regarded as an authority. Such
a man is President Eliot of Harvard
university.
In President Eliot's article in the
October Atlantic Monthly he COM
pletely ignored the important part that
the Irish had played in the settlement
of America. This was not liked by the
Irish, and ]. D. O'Connen, of the
statistical department of the treasury.

in Harvard's president had erred, pub
fishing a letter in a Boston paper.
President Eliot replied, frankly and
honestly admitting his ignorance. He
says:

UTAHs FUTURE.

The Herald has heretofore directed
attention to the fact that Utah is more
favorably situated for weathering
hard times than any eastern state.
This is a point that cannot be too vigor-
ously emphasized, as it is necessary for
our people to fully realize the measure
Of their opportunities in order to take
advantage of them.
Moreover, there is no other section
that offers such inducements for in
vestors. Compared with eastern states,
Utah is prosperous, and the future is
full of promise No matter how the
policy of the government may affect

The Philadelphia Ledger says that
from a property point of view the re-
ported decision of the Duke and Ouch
ess of Marlborough to visit the United
States in order that their expected heir
may be born on American soil may be
a wise one. Much future awkwardness
in the blending of the Marlborough and
Vanderbilt estates may be avoided by
that course. To the legal mind the
status of the coming Marlborough will
present an interesting problem, espec-
tally if the newcomer should be a boy
Born Of British parents, he will be
Briton and entitled to all the rights,
privileges, and immunities of her mai
esty's subjects. Born in America, he
will be an American and may claim
all the rights of American citizenship,
but how far these respective rights and
duties pertaining to them may inter
fere with each other, or which shall
have preference in case of a complaint
between them, is a question for casu-
lists. 1t looks, however. Dis if his par

however, would hardly, 1 think, be
generally accepted. Most ethnologists
desire to distinguish between the Irish
and the Scotch-Irish, and in this coun-
try it seems to me that the distinction
between the Scotch-Irish and the Irish
is very important, the Scotch-Irish be-
ing mainly Protestant and the Irish
proper being mainly Catholic. You are
doubtless aware that in the eighteenth
century most of the American colonies
were distinctly unfriendly to Roman
Catholics. My ignorance about the
early Irish immigration is doubtless
due to provincialism. The Massachu-
sets of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries was the creation of the Eng
lish Puritans and Independents. The
Massachusetts, of the nineteenth CEN
fury, however, is quite another thing
1t has welcomed many thousands of
Irishmen, and they have generally
proved very useful citizens. / am sorry
that l did not add the Irish to my
enumeration of immigrants in the last
century.
Here is an honest admission that is
only equalled by old Dr. Johnson's con-
fessions of ignorance of the anatomy
of the horse when brought to book by
a lady for a wrong definition in his
dictionary.
A really important thing in the
above is the admission that his
ignorance is doubtless due to provin-
cialism. And no doubt that is the
case. The people of New England have
always acted as though they thought
that this country was settled, and its
destiny shaped, by almost exclusively
those who landed on the shores of
Massachusetts. The idea has filtered
through most of our histories and is
now generally spread over the country
1t arises, no doubt, from the fact that
generally the leading historians of the
country have been men of New Eng
land birth and training. New England
has been, perhaps, the most potent
factor in shaping our political ideas
and sending forth settlers into the
great west, but New England has not
been the only factor. But she should
be proud to breed such men as Presi-
dent Eliot who are great enough to
confess their ignorance though such
confession must necessarily bring great
humiliation and much chagrin with it.

1.-The Philadelphia Baldwin Locome-
tive works have broken through the
Chinese wall. They are to build eight
locomotives for the imperial railways.
In the light of such industrial sue
cesses the necessity of walling our own
country in for protective purposes
grows thin and shadowy." says the
Philadelphia Record. The United
States are fast entering all the markets
of the world. Why should they not?
No country has greater resources, no
people are more enterprising than our
own. When the United States can
break into the markets of the world
there is little danger of the world
breaking into the market of the United
States.
