Queer Wheelmen.

There appears to be trouble of some sort
brewing In the Queer Wheelmen, which
some claim is a sure sign of approaching
dissolution. Just what the cause Is 1t is
hard to say, but there is factional feeling
extending some time back. While the re-
cent dance came off very successfully it
was because both sides worked hard to at
tain that aim, and now that the affair is
off the hands of the club the culmipa tion
of the feeling has about arrived. One side

tend one thing, and the other side. which
has several leaders, including Capt. Geo

whole cause of the trouble seems to have
been over the adoption of certain kind of

that have happened since the occupancy of

AN UNRECONSTRUCTE CoNFED-
ERATE GENERAL.

The Confederate museum was opened
in the old Davis mansion at Richmond.
Va, Saturday. The orator of the oc-
casion was General Bradley Johnson.
In the course of his address he de-
clared that the time will come when
all the world will realize the failure Of
the confederacy was a great misfor-
tune to humanity and a source of IN
numbered woes to liberty"
It is very evident that General Brad
ley Johnson is unreconstructed and
that he lives in the past When age
creeps on apace it is natural for the
mind of man to turn back and dream
again the dreams of youth. That the
old general believes the failure of the
confederacy will come to be looked
upJn as a great misfortune to hui
manity no one will doubt Yet it's tri-
umph would have been a curse to this
country and would for many years,
perhaps for a century or more, have
continued that greatest curse that can
fall upon mankind-slavery Even the
south now acknowledges that slavery
was wrong and 1t would not now have
it back if it could. In the future far
more than now the world will realize
that the preservation of the union was
one Of the greatest blessings ever
vouchsafed man
It is happy augury that the coun-
try can listen to such sentiments as
were uttered by General johnson and
take no exception to them. It is recog-
nized that such talk is more rerninis
cent than anything else and that it in
no way has any practical effect. If
there are men in the south who regret
the downfall of the confederacy there
are men in the north who still think
that secession is not dead. These are
mild decisions and it should be re-
membered that old men are more or
less garrulous and that their garrul-
BUSINESS is pleasant to them and harm
less to others. General Bradley John
sons lament over the dead confederacv
Is naught but garrulousness.

that is tinged with the interest of ro-
nance that has made her fame world
wide, there is no reason on earth, if
her people will but avail themselves
of the natural advantages that be-
long to her, why Salt Lake City should
not sit the queen city of this western
empire. First in population, first in
enterprise, first in magnif1cence, pros
perity, health, trade. commerce, edu-
cational institutions of all descriptions
the very heart of business, from
whose generous pulsations would be
sent out streams of prosperity into
all the avenues Of industrial occupa-
tons of the surrounding states. This
is not phantom, it can be made a
splendid reality. more grand than the
idle visions that nature in man gives
way to in repose. All it needs to make
the thought of it materialize is for our
people to become enthusiastically pa
triotic for its accomplishment. To adj
vertise our advantages abroad, to be
public spirited enough to do every
thing that shall place Salt Lake and
Utah to the fore, and invest their
means in the development of Utah's
resources, Utaih's mines, fields and
factories; and ere the raven hair of
Utah's sons is streaked with gray, or
the bloom of youth falls from the
cheeks of Utah's maidens, Salt Lake
shall sit enthroned a queen of an en-
pire whose glories shall not fade away.

OLNEY AS a CANDIDATE.

Mayor Josiah Quincy of Boston has
presented the name of Secretary Of
State Olney to the Young Mems Dem
ocratic club of Boston and the Demo-
cratic state committee of Massachus-
etts as the candidate of the Bay state
for the Democratic nomination for
president. The name was received with
enthusiasm, it is said.
In many respects Secretary Olney
would make most excellent candi-,
date. After the president he is easily
the first man in the administration.
He it was who framed that now IA
nous dispatch Of July 20, 1895, to Am
bassador Bayard, in which the position
of the United States in regard to the
Venezuelan boundary dispute was so
clearly and forcibly set forth. 1t was
the position then taken that brought
forth President CIeveland's message of
December II, 1895. The country raj
lied to the support of the administra-
ton because of the position taken in
these two documents on the Monroe
doctrine in a way it has rallied to no
president since Lincoln's call for vol
unteers. To aid him in his candidacy,
should he decide to become a candidate
mayor Quincy would hardly have pre-
scented his name totally unauthorizedl,
he will have the prestige of all this.
No doubt he would also have the back
ing of the administration. He is a
capable, strong and aggressive man,
qualities that the American people al
ways admire in a man who aspires to
be president. There would at this time
be about him many of the elements of
the hero. To the Democracy of the
west all these things would be strong
recommendations, but he is lacking in
that which is a still stronger recon-
mendation to it. He is, so far as known,
a rank gold standard man and ex-
tremely hostile to silver, The man for
whom the Democracy of the west will
vote as the party nominee for pres
ident will have to be for the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1
without waiting for any International
agreement on the subject,

POSSIBILITIES.

The Utah press sometimes deplores,
and not without good reason. the lack
of public spirit in our citizens; and at
such times it it has become quite Gus
tomary to point to the more enterpris-
ing and public spirited people of Den
yer. Just now, however, the Denver
press is complaining of the lack of pub
lie spirit in the people Of Denver and
pointing them to the possibility Of Salt
Lake outstripping them in respect at
least to one thing-securing the next
Welsh Eisteddfod.
The Colorado Welshmen secured the
great Welsh festival of music and lit
erature, believing that the people of
Denver would so far supplement the
SO, 900 that they guaranteed for the oc-
casion, as to build an auditorium that
would accommodate the great gather
ing. and that would afterwards stand
as a permanent attraction in Denver to
bring conventions without number to
Colorado's capital. The Welshmen OF
Colorado, however, were doomed to be
disappointed; for the committee of
wealthy gentlemen appointed to inves-
tigate the matter concluded that the
Welsh people must look after THEN
own festival as there was no time to
construct an auditorium before the
date set for the Eisteddfod's converting.
''This conclusion was reached" says
the Denver News, Gin spite of the fact
that few of. the structural iron works
of the country are running more than
half their capacity. The News at the
time expressed regret that the commit
tee did not act with more energy and
liberality.
1.-THE raising of money on a. smaller
scale to construct q building for the
Eisteddfod, and which, though not
permanent, would stand for a few
years, has since proceeded with but
Indifferent success. Now comes Salt
Lake City, where the last Eisteddfod
was held, with an offer of unrivalled
auditorium facilities and $4,000 cash to
meet prizes and other expenses. I'm
less Denver wakes up and puts some
life into it's movements. the chances
are very strong that the Eisteddfod
will be taken to Salt Lake, and as it
draws an attendance ranging up to-
ward $4,000, the loss to this city will
be considerable"
The matter of the next Eisteddfod
converting in Salt Lake may Of itself
be a matter of small moment; but
what we desired to do is to call the at
tention of Salt Lakers to the natural
and permanent advantages this city
possesses not only as a convention
city, but as the natural centre of
everything Education, manufacturing,
commerce, mining and railroading-of
this whole inter-mountain empire.
There is no physical division within the
United States so distinct as this inter-
mountain west, or one more interest
ing, or with greater future before it.
Salt Lake is the centre of that
west, and setting beside the great dead
sea, Surrounded by more natural at
fractions than almost any other city in
the United States. and with q past

TAX ON INTERPRETATIONS.

The bill before the state senate To
tax the capital stock of all new cor
porations so cents on each $1,000 is a.
most important one. The state needs
revenue, but may not this taxing of
the capital stock of corporations in a
state where mining is the lead
ing industry mean killing nj
the goose that lays the golden
egg? Every miner in the birs
who has prospect hole homes
some day to form a corporation for
the purpose Of getting small cash
capital with which to develop his pros
pect. The amount of the proposed
state tax on the ordinary capitaliza-
ton of mining companies would wipe
out the total cash capital with which
the majority Of them start and create
a deficit that the sale of the to-be-
mine would not make good. The min
ers in camps are against the bill and
will no doubt send in to the legislature
protests against its passage. 1t is to
he hoped that the senate will not act

TO MABEL.

Though, Mabel, scarce an hour is past
Since first you opened that romance,
Already now to part the Last"
You turn a surreptitiouS glance.
Why surely soon enough you'll learn
The fate of each fictitious friend;
You've scarcely done with Chapter One
Before you want ito know the end"
The heroine's stupendous feats,
The hero's indignatin fine,
At which the wicked Duke retreats
Quite routed all along the line.
The noble deeds, the stirring scenes,
To none of these will you attend;
Till certain quite that all comes right,
That marriage bells are at the end.
Well, if the bard might moralize,
He would remark, I think that man,
Throughout existence, ever tries
To initiate your simple plan;
In guessing what is still 10 come
Long days with scant result we spend !;
We. too, would look throughout the book,
We, too, would like to know the end
And yet I venture to maintain.
To read your stories through were best,
A course whereby their plots would gain
No inconsiderable zest;
So, Mabel, in the tale of life,
Whatever lot the fates may send,
Fulfill each day as best you may,
Nor strive too soon to know the end.

FRANKLIN,s REPUTATION REHAB-
ILTTATED.
What He Left For "societyr to d,

What He left For "society' to Do.
Poor Ben Franklin's reputation has
been rehabilitated. His descendants have
triumphed over his detractors. The prin-
cipal onslaught upon Franklin's good
name was made by Mrs. John King Van
Rensselaer,, the secretary of the Col
onlal Danes, but she has been forced
to resign her secretaryship under the
diSpleaSure of the society, and Mrs.
Humphreys, who proudly names Frank
lin as the original forbear of her line,
has been notified that she is a Colonial
Dame in good standing. This contro-
versy was regrettable because it cast a
shadow over the name of an American
patriot. The public was fearful that,
Notwithstanding all the great and good
things attributed to Benjamin, he was
a moral leper, a oisturber of domesti-
city. and a MISUNDERSTANDING. Franklin
himself confessed to being a "devir' in
his early printshop days, but he never
aspired to be a correspondent in a divorce
suit. That distinction was reserved for
the leaders of modern Society.-Syracuse

THE KILLING OF THE SEALS.

Senator Pettigrew's bill to kill all the
seals on the Pribiloy islands, 'as an
act of mercy" is a very igrloble way out
of difficulty. If the government cam
not protect the seals in Boring sea, it
might at least leave them to their fate,
without any such melodramatic action as
destroy most of the seals, but not all of
them, for all the seals in the sea do
not resort to these islands, although
most Of them do, and. at any rate, there
seems to be no sufficient reason for it.
If protective measures are abolished the
seals will soon be killed off by the
poachers, but our government will not
be made ridiculous on their account
