CHANGE OF BUSINESS MANAGERS.


Today The Herald is placed under a
new Business Manager. In conse-
quence of having been appointed by
Governor Wells ito a place on the code
commission to revise the compilation
and codffy the laws of the state, Mr..
Richard w. Young, few days ago
voluntarily rendered his resignation as
business manager to the owners Of The
Herald, that he might devote himself
to the duties of his new position; and
yesterday his resignation was formally
accepted.
The Herald has been under the bust
ness management of Mr.. Young for
more than two years; and during that
time by his genial disposition and just
treatment of his associates, he won
their esteem and friendship.
The two years he has been in control
of the business management of this
paper. have been years of very general
depression, and to newspapers especi-
ally trying. Yet under Mr.. Youngs
management The Herald has steadily
increased it's daily and semi-weel1ly cir
culaticn until today its circulation is
very much greater than ever before;
and it is with regret that The Herald
takes its leave OF him as Business
Manager.
We under stand that after the com
pletton of the work of codifying the
states laws, it is the intention of Mr..
Young to resume the practice of the
law. in which occupation we wish him
success.
Mr.. E. A. Mcdaniel, who succeeds
Mr.. Young as Business Manager, is a
newspaper man Of long experience, and
comes to his position well equipped to
discharge its duties.

1t was expected that the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic state convention
would declare for the single gold stand
ard, and hence no disappointment is
feft when in addition to The endorse
ment of President Cleveland's admins
tration the convention said:
1.-THE party which we represent is op-
posed ITO any change in THE existing
gold standard, and this convention, if
true ito those whom it represents, must
declare against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and in behalf of
maintaining the credit of the United
States at THE highest point, so that
such credit may be unquestioned at
home and abroad"
The convention adopted the unit rule,
and presented as the conventions
choice for presidential candidate Rob
ert Emory Pattison, who for eight
years was governor of Pennsylvania.
'"nhey were years. said the ccnven-
tion, ''of upright, fearless discharge of
executive duties, years that reflected

himself Twice did he triumph a,andflv

mocracy Of the nation as a fit and

When strong men, brave women and
little children are all rendered home
less, with only mother earth for their
couch and the starry sky for their
covering. it cannot but move the heart
OF all mankind towards them Such
disasters as this at Cripple Creek is the
one touch of nature that makes all the
world akin.
That Cripple Creek viii very soon
be rebuilt there is no question. And
it will be a better built town than ever
It's fate will not be the fate of the
average mining town that is swept
away by fire, which is usually to be
but a mass of black ruins to be re-
moved by time and not by man. With
most such towns their cremation is
the last act in their history. The his
tory of the great Colorado town is
just beginning.
That Colorado will care for the peo-
pie of Cripple Creek who have been
rendered destitute and homeless all so
suddenly. there is no doubt. But at
such a time as this aid from any
source is a God-send. This city of Salt
Lake should show its sympathy for
Cripple Creek in a substantial way.
We believe if Mayor Glendinning and
President Auerbach of the chamber of
commerce will take the initiative that
a very substantial fund can be raised
with little or no trouble. A public
meeting might be called, the purpose
OF which should be to express sympathy
and make subscriptions to a relief fund.

The convention at Chicago ought not
be vexed by insistence in behalf of ia
vorite sons. The convention has an i'm
portant work to perform. The clean
cut declaration of sound Democratic
principles is of even more concern than
the choice of g presidential candidate.
The convention ought to be delibera-
tive body, unembarrassed by any in
sistent claims in behalf of particular
candidates. When the platform is had
the man can be found. He is a man
who ought to fit the platform. If the
declaration of principles is sound no
mistake will be made as to a candi-
date, whether he come from New En-
gland, from Kentucky from Illinois or
from New York.
And yet the man whom the Demo-
cratic party puts in nomination for the
high Office of president of these United
States should be man whose past
career upon the question which is the
paramount issue of this campaign will
be a guarantee of perfect good faith in
dealing with that question.
So powerful are the forces that will
operate upon the man who may be
elected to THE presidency upon the sill
yer issue that unless he is a man with
a career behind him to sustain him
as well as perfect integrity there would
unquestionably be a little uncertainty,
a little uneasiness as to his ability to
Withstand the pressure, and the people
may be pardoned if they demand ait
the Chicago convention, whichever side
of the money issue may control it,
THAT there shall be not only an explicit
platform, but candidate who by his
convictions. his past record and char
acter shah be a guarantee of good
faith in dealing with the money ques-

ILLINOIS FOR GOLD.


The day before the Illinois state Re-
publican convention met. the Chicago
Times-Herald said that the convention
must declare in unqualified terms for
honest money and against the free
coinage of silver at is to l or any other
ratio
The Times-Herald pleaded with them
on this subject as if there was some
danger lest the Republicans would not
make the declaration suggested, or,
what is most likely, as if they feared
that some either state would be per-
mitted to be more emphatic in its de-
votion to the gold idol.
Addressing the Republicans it said:
There must be no equivocating, no
mere marking time, no flirting with
the ignis faituus of interna tional BIZ
metallism. The credit of party and
state is at stake. Upon the convention
depends the responsibility of maintain
ing the honorable traditions of Illinois
Repubiicanism"
Whatever else may come out of the
Springfield convention, the coinage
1 ISSOlutlOIl IluSL De SO Cledll edliu NiSOi-
GUS and fearless that Illinois will be
placed irrevocalbly in the position of
foremost champion of honest money
and national good faith, that her peo-
pie may reap the fruits of a victory
already assured
Whether or not the Republican con-
vanticn satisfied the demands of the
Times Herald or not we cannot say,
but here is the money plank of the
platform:
'"The Republicans of Illinois are I'M
yielding and empha tic in their demand
for honest money. We are opposed and
ever have been to any and every such
scheme that will give to this country
a currency in amy way deprecated or
debaSed or in any respect inferior to
the money of the most advanced and
Intelligent nations of tine earth We
favor the use of silver as currency but
to the extent only and under such re-
strictions that parity with gold can be
maintained"
This does not explicitly pronounce
agal!r:cit of free coinage of silver at 16
TO 1 or any other ratio, but that is its
spirit and that is what Illinois will de-
mand at the ST. Louis convention.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-05-01
AND THE QUESTION OF
RATIO.

The administration Democrats in
Nebraska have held a convention and
declared against free coinage. They
declared that they adhered to the time
honored principles of the party as
enunciated by Jefferson and expounded
by jackson, Tilden and Cleveland In
the far west, and in many other parts
of the country, it is not generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Cleveland has carried
out the principles of the party as
enunciated by jefferson. But it was
to be expected that a convention of
administration Democrats would en-
deavor to link the name of Mr. Cleve-
land with that of the founder of the
party; common courtesy required this
even if facts did not warrant it.
This Nebraska administrator con-
venticn declared that it believed with
Thomas Jefferson that the market
value of bullion regulates the value of
the coin, and rct its coin value. 1t is
true that jefferson said that the ques-
ton of ratio between the two money
metals was commercial question. On
this the goldbugs are wont to harp
constantly. implying that Jefferson, if
alive today, would be a gold standard
advocate. What the views of a dead
man, were he alive today, on the ques-
ton of free coinage would be we make
no pretense of knowing, having no
possible means of finding out. But this
fact does not prevent any one from
knowing what Jefferson's views were
on the question of monetary stand
ard. He favored an ounce of silver as
the unit of value in the United States
That is a fact which cannot be dis
puted. Such being the case, by what
process Of reasoning do the goldbugs
claim him as their man? When he
said the question of ratio between gold
and silver was a commercial one,
where is their warrant for saying he
would be opposed to free coinage were
he living? They are simply putting
forth their assumptions in place of
facts, expecting the people to accept
them as such.
AS Jefferson favored silver unit of
value, is it violent inference to say
that, as he declared the ratio to be a
commercial question, he would have
changed the amount of gold in the gold
dollar rather than the amount of sill
yer in the silver dollar when it be-
came necessary to change the ratio?
We think not for his yard stick (to
use a favorite illustration of the gold
bugs would have been of silver.
We are not ait all cock-sure what the
financial views Of Jefferson would be
today were he living, but we are per-
fectly cock-sure that the goldbugs do
not know either.

In recent estimates as to the stand
ing of the state Democratic delegations
in the national convention at Chicago,
the state of Michigan has been set
down on the side of silver. From now
on, however, that state, with its TWEEN
ty-eight votes, must be counted as in
the single gold standard camp. In the
committee on resolutions the goldites
stood to 5, and the convention was
controlled by 424 single gold standard
votes against 366 silver votes. 1t is not
to be denied that the loss of Michigan
in the convention will be a disappoint-
ment to silver men throughout the
country, but 1T must not and need not
discourage them, as without Michigan
the silver Democrats can carry the ma
tional convention

Ranked Out.

Paragraph 9S6 of the army regulations,
reads in part as follows: AT posts or sta
lions where the provisions of paragraph
9S5 cannot be applied, officers may make
selection of quarters in accordance with
their rank. An officer may select quarters
occupied by a junior, but should not dis
place a junior if there be quarters suitable
to the rank of the senior available with
equal convenience and accommodations
At one OF the northern posts an officer re-
ported for duty recently on change of sta
ton and selected quarters according to his
rank and in compliance with the para
graph of the regulations quoted. This
caused the wife of an officer who was
ranked OUT TO give expression to her
grief in the following lines:
1.-The melancholy day has come.
The saddest of the year.
For the army doctor has just arrived,
And our hearts are filed with fear
For well we know We'll be ranked out
Before tomorrow's noon,
There's a big lump gathering in our
throat;
There is blood upon the moon.
For haven't we been ranked out in the
past,
Ten times in as many years?
And SO sure as we get our house nicely
fixed
That army doctor appears.
Haven't we just papered and kalsomined,
And puttied and painted our floors?
We have torn down yards of partition,
And put hinges in our double doors.
o, haven't we turned our kitchen
Into a dining hall eight by ten?
And haven't we cooked in the servants
room,
Knowing we'd be ranked out again?
And haven't we lost that same servant
girl
That we'd had two months or more?
She said she could sleep without a roof,
But insisted on having a floor.
A planning of that bath tub?
We are willing to carry the water up,
But carrying it downs the rub.
Our furnitures worn, our curtains are
torn,
Our tables ard chairs minus legs,
Being moved to and fro up and down
this old row,
The whole family's on its last legs.
We won't even dare to be laid in our
graves,
In some quiet, PARKWAY spot,
For that army doctor would still rank US
out.
Cremation must be our sad lot.
How We'll miss him when we get to
heaven.
For there we will not see his face,
The army doctor will be down below,
Ranking out in the other place.
One Who Knows.
