THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
MEETING.

The Democratic state committee
meets tomorrow evening to call a state
convention for the naming of six deIe-
gates to the national convention, and to
determine, incidentally, whether two
conventions or but one shall be called
this year.
We take it for granted that the peo-
pie 90 not desire long campaign this
autumn. They have usually favored
snort ones and now after a surfeit of
political campaigning incidental to our
new conditions, the suggestion of a
campaign lasting from June to Novem-
yer would inspire feeling of nausea
In the breasts of most of our citizens.
We are of opinion, however, that it
might be good plan to have the first
convention select new STATE commit
tee. Not that the excellent committee
OF last year has earned a speedy re-
tirement-far from it-but in order to
give the new committee chance to
map out plan of campaign and to
rally its forces preparatory to the No
vember struggle.

SENATOR Cannon OK THE DINGLEy
BILL.

Senator Cannon's open letter to the
Republicans of Utah is a very interest
ing document and one we would advise
the Democrats Of the state to study.
We DO not know where such an expose
of the Republican party can be found
as in this same letter.
Often and often The Herald has
characterized the Dingley revenue bill
fraud that was merely intended 10
feel the pulse of the people on the
question OF protection and was never
expected or intended, to h.come a law.
1t was conceived in corruption and il
was brought forth in corruption. Hear
what Senator Cannon has to say on
this Dingley bill:
l trust that my fellow citizens will
not think ii presumptuous for me to
declare that had the Dingley tariff
bill been passed through the senate OF
the United States. the power to bring
the party to a consiGera ton of its re-
sponsibility toward the money ques-
ton, would have been lost. The Ding
ley tariff bill once past the senate of
the United States, the five so-calied
silver secession senators might as well
have tried TO whistle down a whirl-
wind as to obtain a respectful hearing
from the politicians and the manufac-
turing interests.
The Dinsley bill once passed and
the Republican silver senators might
as wen have tried to whistle down
whirlwind as to obtain a respectful
hearing from the politicians and the
manufacturing interests True. abso-
lutsly but who ever expec. cd
Senator Cannon to declare it? In those
two sentences he brands the Republf-
can party. his perty, as a party OF
perfdy. the party that fawns TO the
silver interest that it may cajole the
west into voting for it and when it has
done that siabs silver in the back
The five senators could more easily
have whistled down whirlwind than
have got consideration for silver after
the Dingley bill was passed.
With such a statement as the above
from one of Utah's Republican sena-
tors does any one in all the state think
there is the remotest hope for silver in
the Republican party? The five sena-
tors who held up the Dingley bill did
good work in that regard, but any one
must see that they are fighting the
most cherished doctrine of their party
They may hold up their party on this
question for a while, but not long
They cannot compel by any means in
their power the party to aid them in
their contest for silver. The party
will be the master; of that there can
be no doubt. Nor can there be any.

THE BEAVER NORMAL SCHOOL.

The entire state has less population
than second rate eastern city and
far less assessed wealth.
It now bears large part of the bur-
den of wide reaching system of public
schools. university and normal
school, an agricultural college in part,
and schools for the deaf, the dumb
the blind and the hayward. 1t is now
proposed to establish. a normal school
in Beaver county to be maintained at
the expense of the state. Surely there
should be hating point somewhere in
the effort to bankrupt the common
wealth. Everyone will sympathize
with Beaver in its yearnings for high
er education, and all would rejoice in
the establishment there of such an in
stitution as Speaker Denny's bill pro-
vdes for But has the state not done
all that in reason it can be expected
to do. or all that it can in fact do
when it maintains one normal school
where tuition is free to all our aspiring
youth?
Some day, Utah will rival the great
states Of the east or west in popula-
ton and wealth, and then much may
be done that it would be rashly i'm
provident for US now to undertake.
It is with state as with an in
dividual; the latter cannot surround
himself with the Injuries or even the
ordinary comforts or necessities of life
faster than his worldly wealth will
safely permit without running the risk
of endangering his future prosperity By
his waywardness

A very interesting suit was decided
in London few days ago. Mrs. Ar
thur Kitson brought suit against DR..
William Playfair for libel and was
awarded damages in the sum of $50.
GOO. The interest in the suit has been
very great because it involved the right
OF an attending physician to disclose
any secret revealed to him In profess
sional confidence. It appears that Dr.
Playfair made statement to his wife
about Mrs. Kitson, and she in turf,
communicated it to Sir James Kftson,
the brother of Arthur Kitson. with the
result that Sir James, who is a million
aire, withdrew an allowance of $1,000
which he was making to Mrs. Kitson
after her separation from his brother.
Mrs. Playfair is a sister of Sir James
and Arthur Kitson. 1t is altogether
probable that no trouble would have
come of the matter had not Mrs. Play
fair been q sister of the Kitsons. She
treated the affair as family one,
with the result that her husband will
be compelled to pay Mrs. Arthur Kit
son the sum of s60.O00 by way of dam
ages. The doctor did what perhaps the
majority of doctors accommodated
a professional secret, and that WIS mis-
only professionally. to his wife. This
ne had no right to do. Such cases as
this are of rare occurrence, but their
occasional occurrence serves as a
warning to all who are charged with
professional secrets.

Be hushed, my heart, remembering
What dole was given for thee,
How pressed on Him thy burden, when,
For all the sinful sons of men,
Christ went to Calvary.
The mournful journey that He made,
Each step was taken for thee.
Be hushed, my heart, let clamor cease;
Prepare a chamber white with peace,
His resting-place to be.
In solemn shadow of the cross,
o soul, abide till He
Who tasted death ere thou wouldst know
Its bitterness of utmost woe
With strength shall guerdon thee.

Each life of earth must see,
And in some hour, or soon or late,
Must bend beneath the crushing weight
OF earth's Gethsemane.

Beyond the awesome tree;
The heaven of heavens is reft today;
All angels march the starry way
That leads from Calvary.

Goes forward while the ages roll;
The price OF every ranscmed soul
Full paid on Calvary.

PROTECTION EAST AND WEST.

In that open letter of his to the Re-
publicans of Utah, Senator Frank J.
Cannon exposed the family skeleton in
the Republican closet, always an I'M
wise thing in private life. frequently a
fatal thing in political life.
Referring to the criticism of the five
Republican senators who held up the
Dingley bill, Mr.. Cannon says:
The Republicans who criticised them
in the senate are men who construe BIZ
metallism to mean a single gold stand
ard with silver forever degraded to
subsidiary coinage; and men who ac-
cept as protection an infamy like the
Dingley bill, which seizes all the sub
stance for the east as it's right divine
and offers the shadow to the struggling
west.
Let US closely scan this statement
Mr. Cannon declares that the Repub-
licans in the senate who criticised these
five western senators construe bmetal-
ism to mean a single gold standard.
But those same Republican senators
represent the sentiment of the great
great majority of their party. This is
money question made within few days
by the Republican conventions in New
York and Massachusetts.
Mr.. Cannon terms the Dingley tariff
bill, that precious bill of Tom Reeds
pet ways and means committee, that
bill which was to furnish the govern
ment with such a revenue that there
/ CHI tAo -
furnish a surplus which was to give
millions for defense and billions for
tr;bute-to the protected industries, an
infamy. How well Mr. Cannon chooses
his words when he tells the naked truth
about a Republican measure!
The fault, the infamy. of this Dingiey
bill lies in the fact that it "seizes all
the substance for the east as its right
divine and offers the shadow to the
struggling west" From this it is plain
that the wrong is not in the selling of
the peoples substance, but in the divi-
sion of the plumber after it has been
seized. But wherein is anybody bene-
fitted by protection if each is permitted
to seize the others substance? If all
are protected the result is the same as
though none was protected.
We are glad that Senator Cannon is
looking out SO well for the interests of
the west in this game of grab. 1t re-
minds US of that old, old story of the
virtuous congressman who denounced
as a steal and plundering of the people
a bill to incorporate a company and
granting it invaluable franchises. At
last his denunciation of the measure
became so fierce that it was found ne
cessary to admit him into the com
pany. And when this was done, 10. he
saw a new light, and what had before
seemed crooked and an outrage upon
the people became straight and was for
the promotion of the welfare and best
interests of the people.
When the west shall seize the sub
stance it, too, win take it as its right
divine and give the shadow to the strug
Cling east What a difference it makes
who9e OK is gored!

GREATER NEW YORK.

Greater New York appears to be an
approaching certainty. The bill Gre
atirg a commission to prepare the
charter of consolidation has passed
and the results of their labors must be
submitted to the legislature early in
1897. It is regarded as probable that
the officers of the government of the
new municipality will be elected in
November OF next year.
The new city will contain over three
millions of inhabitants and will include
the present cities of New York and
Brooklyn. with Long Island City, Sta
tan Island and other contiguous terri
tory. The area will increase from less
than fifty to more than three hundred
and fifty square miles. The practical
administration of it's affairs will be
rendered difficult by the separation of
its constituent parts by arms of the
sea. A city sixty miles square, with
a population exceeding that of any
one of the states Of the Union, with
four or FIVE exceptions, presenting such
difficult problems as will necessarily
arise from the consolidation Of :het-
ersreneous constituents, will require a
governor for mayor and legislature
for city council, with craftsmanship of
the first order
No doubt the pride of the people
will be gratified that America has the
second city in the world. The Amsri-
can fondness for bigness will be real
lied. But it is certain beyond perad--
venture that the political control of the
mammoth consolidation will result in.
