THE BUTLER BOND BILL.

Bv a vote of 10 to 2 the house COM
mittee on ways and means has decided
to report adversely the Butler bond bill.
This report makes it certain that the
house will not pass the measure.
Its purpose was to forbid the presi-
dent issuing bonds, for any purpose,
without express authority from con-
gress. The occasion of it was the vari-
Gus bond issues made by the president
for the purpose of maintaining the gold
reserve, or to maintain the parity of
all the governments various kinds of
money The authority under which
these issues were made is the act of
January IA, 1875, IAN act to provide
for the resumption of specie pay
ments." In that act it is provided that
the secretary of the treasury may
tissue, sell and dispose OF, at not less
than par, in coin, either of the descrip-
tons of bonds of the United States de-
scribed in the act of congress approved
July IA, 1870, entitled an act to author
ize the refunding of the national debt,
with like qualities privileges, and ex-
emptions, to the extent necessary to
carry bhis act into full effect, and to
use the full proceeds thereof for the
purposes aforesaid
For some time it was questioned
whether this gave the secretary of the
treasury the power to issue bonds to
keep the gold reserve intact, but it was
finally held it does
A repeal of the part above quoted
from the law of January IA, 1875, would
have accomplished every object sought
to be attained by the Butler bill.
The fact that Senator Butler is Pop
ulist and the measure was dubbed a
Populist measure undoubtedly had
much to do with the unpopularity of
it and caused it to be very generally
denounced There was not the peril in
it that so many thought they saw. 1t
will cut no further figure in this con-
gress, and not having been a party
measure will have no influence on the
campaign one way or the other.

SECRETARY MoRToN's WESTERN
TRIP.


Secretary of Agriculture Morton has
just returned to Washington from an
extensive trip in the west and on the
Pacific coast. Since his return he has
been interviewed on the western senti-
ment regarding silver He says it is
universal all over the west and is
growing. This is very true. The
secretary says nobody should make
the mistake of supposing that all the
silver men are in the mining states.
He declares that in Missouri they are
wilder than Texas steers Ghe secretary
is a government authority on Texas
steers), and that in Illinois pretty near
recognizes that the silver men have
won in Kentucky and Ohio.
Heretofore the gold men have made
the very mistake that Secretary Nor
ton says nobody should make, in as
Stunning and asserting that the silver
sentiment of the country was all in the
mining states. The gold men have
been wllfully blind as to the strength
of this sentiment and have thought to
poon-pooh it out of existence Now
they are discovering their error. They
have been so satisfied with their gold
standard that they would not believe
there was a popular demand for sill
yer
The strength of the silver sentiment
in California is thing Mr. Morton
cannot understand. He says that in
San Francisco, where they have more
than S10O, 100000 of gold coin in the
vaults of their banks, where deposits
are paid III gold by specific contract,
and where greenbacks have never
been good enough for them, the people
are crying for fifty-cent silver dollars,
as he calls them. He cannot under
stand that California, which is a gold
producing and not silver producing
state, should be such an ardent advo-
cate of free silver. He says that the
Californians are willing that a silver
miner in Colorado shall get the same
amount of good out of fifty-cents'
worth of silver that gold miner in
their own state gets for one hundred
cents of gold.
This very fact that is so inexplicable
to him should show to him there is
something in the agitation for free sill
yer that he has utterly failed to grasp
The stock argument of the gold men
that the silver men wish to repudiate
their debts and debase the currency
cannot be urged against the gold pro-
ducing Californians.
Secretary Morton has learned much
in his western trip and will impart in
formation to his colleagues that they
have been sadly needing.

.pREsIDENTY srkINLEY.

Major. Mckinley has no stauncher
supporter nor more ardent admirer
in all the country than the
Chicago Times Herald. 1t never
ceases to sound his praises and sor-
rows that it cannot sound them louder
than it does. Finally its admiration has
become mere adulation. This has
caused it to lose its sense of propriety
and good taste.
In its leading editorial of Tuesday it
has very much to say as to what Nc
Kinley's policy will be when he be-
comes president. Not having been
nominated yet it is somewhat prema-
ture to assume that he will be presi-
dent without question. This may be at
tributed to the ardor of partisanship,
and as such may be overlooked But
from adulation it goes to fawning un-
til it's fulsomeness becomes fairly sick
ening. Three separate times it speaks
of him as president Mckinley.
"Fourthly, it will be the policy of Pres
ident Mckinley not only. thus perma-
nently to put an end to treasury de-
ficits, . etc. Filthy, as to duties on inn
posts for protection, 1t will be the policy
of President Mckinley and Republi-
can congress" etc. President Mckinley
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-06-05


and the congress to be elected with
him will be for the gold standard
with the largest use of silver con-
sistent with that standard
Could anything be more disgusting
than this? 1t is probable that Major
Mckinley will be nominated at St.
Louis, and he may be elected; and if
he is he viii not be president until in
augurated March 4, 1897. From election
in November till March he would be
president-elect; nothing more.
Such fawning and fattery as the
Tin1es-Herald cannot but be offensive
to Major Mckinley. 1t tends to make
him ridiculous and a laughing stock.
To these fawners and flatterers there
should be administered the rebuke that
ex-President Harrison once admins
tered to one of the same kind. He adj
dressed General Harrison as President
Harrison whereupon the ex-president
said; I am no longer president of the
United States, 1 am simply Mr.. Har-
rlson; General Harrison, if you will.
1t is very evident that Mckinley
needs to be saved from some of his
friends.

annoy and irritate: and. if some dis
tinguished Democrats be correctly re-
ported, the author of the story has
been successful in his purpose.
That defines his position in his own
language and over his own signature.
This is quite different from what he
has been reported to have said, and
puts an entirely different complexion
upon the matter Nothing can be
more Democratic than his statement
that the viii of the majority should
prevail His other statement, that in
the event the Chicago convention does
not make platform and name a can
didate in accord with his views, he
will abide the result and give loyal and
cordial support to the candidates, is
the statement of a thorough Demo-
crat. 1t shows that he is much more
of a. Democrat than a gold standard
man. This is as it should be.

Whenever there is a terrible disaster
that horrifiesd mankind the property
loss in consequence of the same is put
at fabulous figures. The loss at st.
Louis as the result of the recent lorna
do has been placed as high as $50, OOO,-
000 How absurd this is is shown by
the Globe-Democrat. 1t says: How
absurd is the estimate of a property
loss of $5O000,00O by the cyclone may
be inferred from the fact that the en-
tire taxable valuation of st. Louis-all

only S334,000,000. Divide this amount
equally between ground and build

been destroyed-and you have S167,-

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.


With only one week of the session re-

gramme, congress has more unfinished

session up to date. In the long catalogue
OF b1lls which must be passed on hur-

OF the most important measures affecting

to the incapaeity of congress to do its
work.--New York World.
