THE UTAH DELEGATES.


The Democratic state convention for
the election of six delegates to Chicago
meets next Saturday Every man
elected will he a staunch and true
friend of free silver no doubt, but this
must be certain; the Democracy can
afford to take no chance in the mat
ter. The platform will be for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and the
instructions 10 the delegates should be
so certain and specific that there can
be no possibility of misunder-
standing them. Every delegate
should pledge himself to stand
by the platform and the instructions.
Here in Utah and out in the west
man may be unequivocally for silver
and think no argument or persuasion
can turn him aside from his set pur-
pose to always and everywhere adyo-
cate it Such will be his honest and
sincere intention, yet he may be per-
suaded when among those who favor
the gold standard that perhaps there
is far more in their arguments than he
had ever thought there was. Such

Chicago. The gold standard men have
hopes to achieve this very conversion.
The New York World gives express
sion to the hope when it says: Fin
ally, it is not certain that all the men
classed as advocates of free silver,
when they get to Chicago and under
stand the situation, will be ready to
vote for the suicide of the Democratic
party. Many of them are primarily
Democrats, and only secondarily, and
incidentally free-silver men. They
care more for the triumph of Demo-
cratic principles than for the particular
fad which they would like Democracy
to advocate, but which is in fact
more repugnant than Republican tri-
umph to the Democrats of a large part
of the country"
1t is most important that all who are
delegates to the state convention
should bear this in mind. If any can
not attend they should make certain
that those to whom they give their
proxies will be true to silver. Through
proxies the silver Democrats of Mich
igan were beaten out of a silver dele
cation to Chicago. though they had
a large majority of those elected to
the Detroit convention. The Democracy
Of Utah must not be Nfichiganized.

CRIME IN THE WEST.

The west has reputation for law
lessness that is but too we'll founded!
But an the crime committed in this
country is not committed in the west.
The crimes that were exposed by The
Herald and which are now known as
the Hermans sensation, have attracted
a great deal of attention. The Phila-
deIphia Ledger has the supreme i'm
pudence to comment on them in these
terms:
Eastern people are accustomed to
reading tales of the western country,
in which human life is held to be eX-
ceedingly cheap, but they are usually
supposed to be merely idle tales and
very far from prosaic truth. The reve-
la,tions of sensational crime in Salt
Lake City, however, seem to substan-
tiate the widest of these stories. Wo-
men disappear mysteriously, and no
body takes the trouble to even inquire
about them. The pastor of a church
gets drunk and acts in an unSeemly
way, but it is nobody's business and
nobody censures him. He builds a
heavy fire in hot weather and burns
something that makes noisome
stencil, but though the neighbors grum-
Bile little, they drop the subject as
soon as the stencil dies away and
think no more of it. At last. what
seems 10 have been a career Of wicked
ness prolonged at the pleasure of the
operator, is brought to a close by his
fight, and then, but not until then, an
investigation is begun, which finds
traces of more murders the further 1t
is carried. Surely, Salt Lake must be

LIGHT THE CITY.

The citizens have stood by the mayor
and city council in the fight they have
waged against the electric light COM
pany in the matter of the price to be
paid for lighting the streets. Finally
the city won the fight and a contract
was drawn I'D whereby it was agreed
that the old price for lighting should be
the one to govern in the new contract.
This contract was for two years: 1t
was submitted to Mayor Glendinning
for his approval. He vetoed it, and in
a message to the council gave at length
his reasons for so doing. They were
good reasons, such as the citizens
could comprehend, and they approved
them. They should find acceptance by
the city council when fully considered
by it, and doubtless will.
The matter will come up in the coun-
ell tomorrow evening. The interests of
the citizens require that the mayor be
sustained. A happy compromise, and
one that will recommend itself to all
fair minded men, would be to have
substa ntially the same contract that
was vetoed entered INTO lOF a year. AL
the end of that time the city will be
able to reap the benefit of competition
and secure very much cheaper street
lighting service than can be secured if
the present contract is entered into for
two years. Within much less than
years time the Ogden company, the
Provo company and the Utah power
company viii be prepared TO make
bids for lighting the city. and to
begin the service as soon as their bids
shall be accepted.
All this should be carefully consid-
cred. 1t will meet with public approval
because it will be saving of much ex-
pense to the public. Let the lighting
contract be made now for one year. A
year hence let another one be made
and all companies prepared to bid in
vited to bid. The council can do no
more popular thing.

CHAIRMAN HARR1rY,s POSITION.

Chairman Harrity. of the Democratic
national committee, was in Washington
the other day and was interviewed on
his interview, in which he was re-
ported to have said that delegates to
the Democratic national convention
who threatened a bolt would not be
seated. In his Washington interview
he declared he had never had any such
idea, and that the interviews with him
in regard to this statement were I'M
true.
We are glad that he makes this state
ment for the other one attributed to
him was foolish in the extreme. But it
is very strange that the impression
conveyed in the reports of the inter
views with him should have been re-
ceived by the reporters. a day or two
before he was in Washington he was
in Philadelphia and was interviewed by
a reporter of the Times of that city
in regard to the plan to prevent bolt.
By that paper he is reported as follows:
National Chairman Harrity was asked
yesterday if any movement looking to
such action on the part of the conven-
ton was contemplated (meaning the
exclusion of delegates who would not
agree to abide by the decision of the
majority on the money issue.) In re-
ply he stated that he could say nothing
on that subject other than to repeat
what he had already declared, namely,
that he is opposed personally to per-
hitting any one to occupy a seat as
delegate in the convention who is not
willing to accept the action of the ma
jority and abide by it, of course he
added, the convention itself can make
such a rule.
1t is rather strange that so reputable
and reliable paper as the Times
should have so misunderstood Mr.
Harrfty In any event, the position he
now takes, or that is assigned to him,
is the proper one. Still delegates to the
Chicago convention who are pledged to
free silver should take no chances in
any way Fine and fair talk is cheap,
but 1T was just that kind which de-
ceived Eve.

ToNIGHTs PRIMARIES.

The Democrats of Salt Lake City and
county will hold their primaries to-
night for the election of one hundred
and three delegates to the state con-
vention that will elect six delegates to
the Democratic national convention at
Chicago.
The election Of delegates to the state
convention direct by precinct primaries
in this city is somewhat of an innova-
ton. the precincts outside of the city
holding county convention for that
purpose. AS all understand, the plan
was adopted to save expense to the
people and has met with unanimous
approval, SO far as we have been able
to ascertain
In electing delegates to the state
convention the Importance of its work
should be borne in mind The best men
and women in the party should be sent
and all delegates should be instructed
TO vote for no one for delegate to
Chicago who is not known to be a
staunch and true friend of free silver.
The primaries and the convention of
the precincts at Murray should be fully
attended. Let no Democrat stay away
Who'll not compelled to.

WESTERN SECESSION.

When Judge Belford of Denver,
Colo, talked about the west seeding
unless it could have its way on the sill
yer question, it was regarded as the
idle talk of an old man, a thing to be
made fun of, ridiculed, laughed out of
court. But we find the Denver Times
treating the matter seriously in a
lengthy editorial in its issue of Friday
last.
1t says:
The secession idea has been talked
considerably sub rosa throughout the
mountain region ever since the repeal
of the Sherman act, and ii has had es-
pecial impetus given to it during the
present session of congress by the re-
peated deadlocks between the western
and eastern representative on i'm
portant legislative propositions. There
fore it deserves serious consideration,
and is not to be dismissed as merely
ephemeral outburst OF feeling.
The last two sessions of congress
seem to have impressed upon the
minds of many of the electorate the
essential conflict that lies between the
interests of the several states. 1t is diff
ficult for the public to discover in the
promise of the future any change that
will make legislation more easily to be
effected or more adequate to the press
ing needs of the several communities
of the country. The vast extent of the
American territory, its diverse inter-
ests, its strangely compounded popula-
ton, present themselves as problems
and propositions beyond the immediate
caoacity Of a body of legislators or a
cabinet OF ministers to manage to the

How Comedian Chevalier Shared
AnnIause With Wales.

A good story is told of Mr.. Albert Chew
alier, the famous comedian, when as a
lad he was playing an old mans part at
the Gaiety theatre in London. The Ken
dals were also in the cast. One night at
a critical moment his cue entirely slipped
his memory CHANGING toward the prompt
er's entrance he saw Irving, Bancroft,
David James and Ellen Terry all looking
on He was tongue-tied and for the mo-
ment his mind had become an absolute
blank Standing speechless and embar-
raised on the stage, Chevalier was greet
ed with tremendous round of applause.
Desperation turned to joy, and by the
time the cheering had subsidized the for
gotter line required to his mind, and
from that moment he got ON famously.
When the performance was over he anx-
fously awaited the Kendals' verdict. You
were a bit uncertain in your lines" said
Mr. Kendall; Fin fact, one time you
stopped dead" Yes said Chevalier,
modestly, but I was all right after l got
the round of applause" MY dear young,
ster,' replied Mr.. Kendall, chat round
of applause was given when the Prince
of Wales entered the theatre

satisfaction even of a majority of tbs


people
This secession idea may have been
talked in the mountain region of Col
orado, but it has never been talked
about in the mountain region Of Utah.
We do not think it is worthy of discus
sion, and doubt if it is worthy of con-
sideration. If the idea should ever
assume any Importance and its propo-
cation be begun. such consideration
should be given the propogators as a
dTum-head court-martial gives to
traitors.
Such talk cannot but have the most
injurious effect upon western interests,
while it subjects the people of the west
to derision. 1t hurts the vests great
est industry-silver-mo than any
thing else. Free silver is a mighty
question and If restored means happi-
ness and prosperity for the people, but
it will never be restored by means of
secession or the talk Of it. To the
American people no question can APP
proach in Importance that of the pres
ervation of the Union. 1t must and
will be preserved.
It is but justice to the Times to say
that it does not advocate secession, for
it says that calmer judgment and more
patient and searching analysis
of the existing conditions dis
covers substantial reasons for
believing that secession talk, after all,
is nothing more than Encouragement.
Still it would be much better to have
searching analysis of existing condi-
tons made before secession is talked,
and after the analysis is made to talk
common sense and not secession.

THE OLD GARnEN

An odor rich of full-bloomed flowers
Bids me restrain my steps, and lean
Over an old gray wall, where covers
The shrinking moss in crevice green
Spread here before my listless gaze
An old world English garden lies,
Where paths and arborS Irvine a maze,
And flowers WOO the buzzing flies
Untrimmed, unkept, in lavish growth,
All nature keeps companionship;
The graceful lily is not 10th
To touch the briar with her lips.
In peach tree shade lie flowers wild,
All unsuspecting of their BIRTH
And weed to plant is reconciled
BY common love for Mother Earth.
The paths and beds would fain conceal
Distinction. where the apple drops,
Or truant strawberry blossoms feel
Their way across to alien crops,
While moss and lichens intercede,
All rival hues to harmonize-
lis thus alike the rose and weed
Contribute pleasure to our eyes.

SILVER MEN WILL CONTROL.

That very shrewd politician and adj
vocate of the gold standard, Senator
Calvin Brice, has given up the fight
and comes out with the confession that
the silver men win control the Demo-
cratic national convention. He esti-
mates that they will have a majority
of about a hundred. In his opinion,
the gold standard men will allow the
free silver men to name the candidates,
who will be either free silver men or
willing to stand on a free silver plat
form. He says he does not think that
there will be bolt. but there will be
great many sound money men who
will take no part in the campaign.
Such a confession as this from such
a man as Senator Brice means much.
He would not have made it had there
been a ray of hope for the gold men
to control the Chicago convention. Of
course it cannot be definitely said at
this time who will control that conven-
tion, but everything looks propitious
for the silver men. 1t is six weeks be-
lure the COHN6ullOn ul6GlS anu nloIly
things may happen in that time, so
the silver men must continue their
good work and see that none of the
delegates elected are seduced from the
silver standard.
What is said by Senator Brice about
a bolt is important as it surely indi-
Gates that he thinks bolt inadvisable.
In case the gold men do not bolt it is
very probable that many of them will
not take any part in the campaign and
will refrain from going to the polls in
November. To do this a man has to be
pretty sulky and i'll humored. This
the gold standard Democrats certainly
will be after the Chicago convention.
