PLANT OF WOOL GROWERS.
Sheep and Wool of Colorado Have Been
Dcmonetized.

Sheep and Wool of Colorado Have Been
Dcmonetized.
wool grower in Colorado writes as
follows:
I'VE OF Colorado have much to COM
plain of. Not only has silver been de-
monetized. but last and worst the
sheep and wool Of Colorado have been
demonetized.
I'VE have got along with the de-
monetization of silver for more than
twenty-three years, and we still pro-
duce Sic, 000, 900 worth Of silver annual
IL. This is more than three times as
much as produced at the time Of the
decentralization. The highest value Of
our silver product in any one year was
in 1892. We then produced little
more than SIT 100000 worth. This year
we will have produced about $4,000,
Occ worth. By the repeal of the Sher-
mar. silver purchase law our annual
silver product has declined about ST.
500 900.
But the decentralization of sheep
and wool has hurt US worse than that
In 1892 our wool clip sold for nearly
$4,000, 900. This year 1t will scarcely sell
for $l,500,000. The sheep and wool
industry of Colorado in 1892 was worth
to the state about $8,000,000; in 1896
it will hurry it to amount to $1,000
600.
In other words our loss by the de-
monetization Of sheep and wool is.
about $3,500,000, more than our loss
by the demonetization of silver.
while the Sherman silver law was
in existence, silver averaged 92.445
cents per ounce; but since the repeal it
has averaged G4.133 cents per ounce.
This is a decline of about 81 IL per
cent
In 1892 wool in Colorado was worth
10 cents per pound; but this year our
wool growers are offered 2 cents per
pound. This Is decline of Sc 2-3 per
cent.
"In 1892 mutton sheep in Colorado
were worth an average OF SO per head;
now they are worth about 81. This
is a decline of &C 2-3 per cent.
so you see the characterization Of
sheep and wool has hurt us in Colo
RADIO worse than the denonetization
of silver" ...

AFFAIRS IN CUBA.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York World says it is possible that
President Cleveland will send a mill
tary commission to Cuba to report on
the condition of affairs there. 1t is to
be hoped that such is the presidents
intention, as the information it would
gather would be far more accurate
and trustworthy than the accounts of
the condition of affairs in the island
that the public is now getting. The
accounts now are largely partisan, be-
ing more or less affected either by SYM
pathy for the Cubans or hatred for
them. This is not sufficient for a gov
eminent that may decide to recognize
the insurgents as belligerents. To act
it must have such information that it
can justify its action according to the
law of nations. That such a condition
as will justify the granting of bellig-
erent rights to the Cubans will be
found to exist there is no doubt, but
the doubt should be cleared away be-
fore the action is taken. The sympathy
of the country is all with the insur-
gents and not only would it welcome
the granting of belligerent rights, but
it would be delighted if Cuban indie
pendence itself were recognized. But
in matters of so grave Importance the
nation should be governed by its Judg-
ment rather than its sympathies- If
the president determines to send a mill
itary commission to Cuba to ascertain
the true condition of affairs there. the
result of it's Investigations should be
patiently awaited. If he does not SO
determine, then belligerent rights
should be accorded the insurgents any
how.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

The people of the whole country have
come to look upon the determination
of the Union and confederate veterans
as a proper and poetic thing, and as
the years have rolled by since the war
closed the hearts of the people have
been gladdened when those who wore
the blue and those who wore the gray
have mingled together. It was an evil
dence that the differences Of the past
were being forgotten, that the result
of the war was being acknowledged
by the veterans of the south as right
and was being accepted as such. 1t
was in this spirit it was proposed that
there be a parade Of the veterans OF
both sides in New York. But the COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re
public General Walker, disapproVes of
the idea, and IN language that has
more feeling than Judgment in it:
THE sooner those who wore the gray,
he says, shall cease trying to sym
bolize the Lost Cause by flag or uni
form, and shall refrain from repre-
senting themselves as a distinct part
Of the people, the sooner will a full
realization of patriotism and fraternity
be brought about" Such talk will not
increase admiration for Commander
Walker, nor encourage patriotism; it
will beget "a feeling of disgust for the
man who uttered it What the man
who put down the rebellion would say
to it were he living, we do not pretend
to know, but as he ever wanted peace
he would not have encouraged it in all
probability. The sentiments of the
father are very likely to find an echo
in the breast of the son, and Colonel
Fred D. Grant doesn't see, says an ex-
change, why the proposed blue and
gray parade shouldn't come off in New
York. In his opinion any movement
that reminds the inhabitant of the Mis-
sissippi valley of his relationship to the
citizens in Maine and California, is
good And that must be the opinion
OF all sensible Americans Commanders
Walker has displayed animus, not pat
riotism.

CENSURE OF PRESIDENT CLEVE-
LAND.


AS was to be expected the language
used by President Grover Cleveland
relative to western communities, in his
speech at the Presbyterian home mis-
sionary meeting in New York, has very
properly aroused the resentment of the
press in the west. The remarks of
the President cannot be too serevely
condemned, for they constitute an in
suit to the communities of the west,
which, whether premeditated or done
through ignorance, is equally inexcus-
able. If ever an apology is in order
from a servant to his masters, and we
are of opinion it is, then it is in order
for President Cleveland to apologize
to the people of the west. He should
disclaim intention TO Insult the west if
his remarks are the result of his ig-
norance; he should recall his remarks
and apologize for them if he intended
the affront.
We are pleased to note that Repre-
sentative Hartman of Montana, on the
floor of the house of representatives. re-
scented the imputations of the Presi-
dent, and we are only sorry that the
members. most of whom, of course,
come from the east, did not better APP
preciate the situation and in some
form not contrary to parliamentary
practice, disapprove of the Presidents
words. The President of this republic
has no moral right to enter relig-
ious gathering and under the SEM
blance of zeal in missionary enterprise
brand an insult upon the people of
any part of the country; and it is I'M
fortunate for a church under the mis-
taken action of it's leaders in making
a grand stand play through having the
President of the United States preside
at their meeting, that such words
should be uttered under its auspices.

purposes as well as a mayor. More
over, he would be elected for double
the time that a mayor is elected for,
and hence that much longer beyond the
power of the people to correct for
abuses Of this appointive power. It
would drag the local affairs of Salt
Lake City into our general state cleo
tions so far as choosing the governor
is concerned; as well as drag the
head of the state government into To-
cal municipal affairs. 1t is utterly
Srotesque. 1t is such mixing up Of
state and municipal affairs as is alto
gether homogeneous, and will make of
the legislature a laughing stock. 1t is
undemocratic, and surely will not be
supported by men attached to the doc
trine of home rule. 1t is wrong in prin-
cipIe and no temporary good can JUS
tify its adoption. 1t should be re-
jected.

UNDEM0CRATIC.

do you not think" said Mr.. Varian
to Mr.. Jennings, in the course of the
discussion at the meeting of the board
of police and fire commissioner
you not think that this amendment
referring to the proposition to have
the governor of the state appoint mem
bers of the board has only for its
aim to change the present personnel of
the commission?
Jennings-I presume it is, but then
Varian-Well, then, is there not a
principle involved in an act like this;
is it not wrong to go before this legis-
iature and say, I'VE were satisfied with
the old law until the mayor made some
appointment we did not like" If this
principle be correct, I presume if the
governor did not make an appointment
to suit us we should go back to the
legislature and ask that the law be
changed placing the appointment into
the hands of the mayor again.
Jennings-No, don't think so; this is
simply to put the appointments on a
higher plane A governor would be
more disinterested and not so liable to
be Influenced by political manipula-
tfons
Varian-Now. would it not be infinite
~ better to place the appointive power
in the hands of someone interested in
the city, or one whom the people of
the city elects to conduct its affairs :?
1t seems to me it would put a ire
mendous machine power in the hands
of the governor"
The admission of Mr.. Jennings that
the only purpose of the amendment
which he proposed was the changing
of the present personnel of the com
mission, ought ITO be sufficient to cause
its rejection. That is kind of legis-
lation that Utahs law makers can i'll
afford TO indulge in. Because appoint
ments are made which do not suit
men-few or many-it is proposed to
change the method of appointment!
Can absurdity go beyond this? Sup
pose that the power TO appoint being
given into the hands of the governor,
and he fails to make, in the judgment
Of some people, proper appointments,
IS it then, as asked by Mr.. Yarian, to
be in order for some one to seek to
change the method of appointment?
That kind of legislation is preposterous.
1t is childish. The governor is as La
bic to make improper appointments as
the mayor. Mr.. Yarian completely
answers the other arguments put forth
by those fayoring the governor an
pointing scheme. The appointiye
power would be put on no higher plane
by placing it in the hands of the gov
ernor- Can't Salt Lake people elect
an honorable man for mayor? Don't
they expect to elect both men of honor
and ability to fiji that position? Is it
so that the people of our cities are in
capable of self-government? A gov
ernor can be just as partisan as a
mayor: and we believe that 6ne would
use this appointing power for partisan

THE NEW WOMAN.


If the new woman is anything she
is an emancipated creature, free as
Adam before the fall. She depends
not upon man, but upon herself, and in
making her way to fame or fortune
does as she chooses. Conventionalities
and unreasonable restraints for her
have ceased to be; she stalks forth into
the world, monarch of all she surveys,
carrying her surveying instruments
with her She despises not man, nei-
Their does she fear him; to her he is an
Indifferent rather than an indispen-
sible article. Where will the new wo-
man make her earthly paradise, where
put in practice so many cherished the
cries? a band of them. a chosen band,
will make their earthly paradise in No
Man's-Land. fittest of places. That
country, once the refuge of the Grim
inals of the great southwest, because
there no court had jurisdiction, there
the laws long arm never reached, has
been changed into a rich agricultural
and stock-raising country. This change
is due to some forty young women
who are now in charge of the public
schools of Beaver county, Oklahoma
A day or so ago number of them
organized the Pan Handle Cattle COM
pany, the intention being to invest
their surplus earnings from teaching
in the cattle business. Some thirty of
these new women have taken claims of
100 acres each on the Beaver river In
the summer they will till the soil; in
the winter they, will teach. For their
teaching they will receive $50
month, the school year being six
months. The forty teachers engaged
in the enterprise will earn $1,000
year. Of this amount one-half is to be
annually invested in cattle on the
range, which is said to be one of the
finest in the country. All this shows
great pluck and enterprise and is de-
serving of every success. But the new
woman shows out most in the agree
ment into which all the teachers in
terested in the enterprise have entered.
They have pledged each other not to
marry within five years. In the eyes
of the law such contracts are void, be-
ing in restraint of marriage, but these
young women in pledging themselves
TO this agreement display far more wis
dom that does the law Having had
some experience in the world and
knowing men as we do, our advice to
these young women would be to ex-
tend the fve-years limit to twenty
years, with proviso that at the ex-
piration of that time it may be extend
ed still further. The new women who
have cast their fortunes in No-Man's-
Land are worthy every success.

EDIsoN,s HONEST ALDERSIANIO

When Colonel Baylies came up and was
Introduced he said he knew the inventor
when he ran on the Grand Trunk, at a

other branch of the road. The wizard
remembered it, and remarked with a
smile:
I was agent for the Connecticut Pea
nut Co. then"
Mr.. Thomas was telling Mr.. Edison
about three-cent street car fares in De-
troit, when the latter, as if just recalling
something he had heard, interrupted:
20 yes, you have that man Pfngree here
who is raising the devil with them"
Then, as if municipal politics touched
a funny vein in his memory, Mr.. Edison
remarked:
You want to elect few honest Dutch
aldermen here. The way to do would be
to take the candidates for election down
to the city hall and photograph them with
the y rays and hnd out whether or not
they are honest, and then mark them be-
fore you turn them out"
Have you got so you can tell what a
man has got here, Az" asked Mr..
Thomas, addressing the inventor as he
was accustomed to in earlier years
II have not tried it yet Mr.. Edison
answered. Il have taken Impressions

THE PRESIDENT AND THE WEST.


President Cleveland does not seem to
think very well of the new western
states, but the. honors are easy in this
matter for they have never thought very
wen of him. His suggestion that mission
airy effort is needed to prevent far west
ern communities from corrupting the en-
tire nation through the force of their bad
example must have been prompted by his
own success in rising from the slums of
Buffalo to the presidency of the United
States. Perhaps If he would investigate
the matter he would discover that
the standard of morality is quite as high
in the far west as it is among his partners
in Wall street, who through his friendly
assistance, have robbed the people of this
the two last bond deals. Fortunately the
people OF the west are quite able to take
care of themselves without the good will
or friendly offices Of Mr.. Cleveland and
they can afford to treat him and his dirty
slurs with weIl-deserved contempt.-Den-
yer Republican.
