LoG-RoLL1NG LEGISLATION.

Occasionally strong Republican
paper throws partisanship aside and
comes out for the right and when that
right is on the Democratic side. Such
a paper is the Times-HeI ald of Chi
cago.
Commenting on the passage of the
river and harbor appropriation bill
over the presidents veto, it says that
Notwithstanding that overwhelming
vote, 1.-The reasons given by the chief
executive for his disapproval of this
most pernicious type Of log-rolling leg
islation appeal with forcible and con-
vincing logic to the sound. sober sense
Of the American people" The reasons
given by Mr.. Cleveland for his veto
appeal to the sound. sober sense of the
American people, but not to the Ameri-
can congress. That is the trouble.
The Times-Herald then goes on to
say that from a purely party stand
point the bill is particularly indefensi-
BILE; that aside from all party conten-
tons as to the cause of the insufficient
cy of revenues there will be general
assent to the declaration that the river
and harbor bill is a monstrous piece
of extravaganza and reflects no credit
upon the Fifty-fourth congress.
This is sensible, patriotic talk. If
the treasury were as full as when Mr..
Cleveland turned it over to General
Harrison, this river and harbor bill
that has just been passed over Presi-
dent C1aVela n6's veto wouldl he d
monstrous piece of extravaganza and
wholly unjustifable. 1t is a grab-bag
bill, and those Democrats who voted
for it are as blameworthy as the Re-
publicans who did. AS cur Chicago
exchange says, the bill is a "pernicious
type of log-rolling." 1t is that and
nothing else.

A JURY DANGER.

For centuries the jury system has
been called the bulwark of liberty, and
such it has been. Many would abolish
it because of the frequent miscarriages
of justice through it. One of the COM
monest complaints against the system
is that jurors are SO susceptible TO
bribery Too frequently the complaint
is we'll grounded But it remained for
Chicago to have the bad distinction of
inventing a new jury fraud. This is
nothing less than one man personating
another as juror and swearing falsely
to his identity. This charge is brought
against Charles Cornell. He is charged
with personating one William ]. Tracy,
and has been held in the sum of $1,000
to await the action of the grand jury.
Impersonating voters is a we'll known
practice, but one that is seldom pun
ished. In such cases the man PERSONAL
ing another is one among thousands
of voters and it is more or less diff
cult matter to identify him. Not so in
the case of man who impersonates a
juror He has to come into court and
questions. ali calculated to identify
him and find out his fitness for jury
duty. Then he has TO sit with eleven
of his peers" All this makes him
easy of identification.
No man will undertake to represent
another as a juror save for a corrupt
purpose. And when he does undertake
1T he will have been fixed before
ever he is called upon to serve on a
jury. 1t is also quite likely that the
one whom he impersonates will have
been fixed" This seems to have been
Judge Chetlins idea, as he said he
wished counsel to pursue their investi-
cation to the extreme and to find out
how Tracy's name was secured and
who summoned him as a juror in his
court.
The trouble back of all this is care
lessness or corruption in making up
the jury list. The best class of citi-
zens should be selected, while the rule
is to select from a class that is not
famous for its intelligence and too
often that is not rigidly honest. When
the courts of the country become cor
rupt, and the jury system is a part of
the courts, liberty and justice are in
great peril.
These Chicago juror impersonators
cannot be too severely dealt with.

roDAY,s CONVENTION.


When the Democrats of Utah last
met in convention it was a momentous
occasion, when questions affecting the
most vital interests of the whole peo-
pie were involved. How that con-
vention met those questions is a
matter of history and a source of
pride to every Democrat. Since that
time Utah has become a state and
other questions of Importance have
arisen, questions that have stirred the
whole people and which at one time
threatened serious consequences For
these reasons many have anticipated
that the Democratic state convention
which meets IN this city today would
be a scene of more or less excitement
and its action on local matters radical
in the extreme Such is not our an
ticipation. and from talks with many
of the delegates to the convention we
believe that such is not the anticipa-
ton Of the convention generally.
The convention will first of all de-
clare its adherence to the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson;-it will stand by
the Chicago platform of 1892 on the
tariff question, but will depart very
radically from it on the money ques-
ton, calling for the free and indepen-
dent coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, and decaring it the paramount
issue. It will also reafflrm the princi-
pies and doctrines enunciated by the
reconvened convention. and stand by
them no matter by whom they may
be condemned. We look TO see the
convention embody all this in its reso-
lutions, and nothing more.
After the resolutions are adopted the
convention will elect six delegates to
the Democratic national convention,
delegates pledged to stand by free sill
yer first, last and all the time; men
who will listen to no suggestion Of
compromise, no matter on what ground
made. Who these delegates will be
we cannot say, but we believe that
Hon. Moses Thatcher will be one, and
that he will be the unanimous choice
of the convention, and that such
choice will be unanimously approved
by the Democratic party. In no other
way can the party better testify its
confidence in him and its appreciation
of his labors in it's behalf.
We expect to see a typical Demo-
cratic convention, where enthusiasm
and harmony reign, where all personal
jealousies, if any there should be, will
be subordinated to party welfare and
the advancement of Democratic prin-
ciples.
With free silver and the right of the
people to control in all governmental
affairs inscribed on its banner, the De-
mocracy of Utah has every reason to
expect victory at the polls in Novem-

THE sT. LOUIS PLATFORM.

The one great interest the country
will have in the st. Louis platform
will be the financial plank. It's decla-
ratioas upon the tariff Will create little
or no interest, because that is not the
issue while the financial question is.
The Chicago Times-H Herald. McKin-
ley's chief organ in the middle west.
says:
1t is not to offend anyone that the ST.
Louis platform shall be as positive for
gold as that the Chicago platform shall
be positive for silver. That is the es-
sence of the issue. Let the two plat
forms be honest to the country. In no
other way can the country decide be-
tween them. The st. Louis platform
should read: I'VE are in favor of the
maintenance of the present gold stand
ard, and opposed to the free coinage
of silver ct any ratio
No cowardice at st. Louis!
That sentiment will be approved very
generally There is no question now,
it seems, that the Democratic nation
al convention will declare outright for
free silver. We have never thought
there would be much question as to
whether the Republican national con-
vention would declare for gold Within
a week or ten days there have been
some indications that there might be a
straddle at st. Louis. If there is, it
will be much to be regretted, as it would
not make a clear and we'll defined
issue. Nor would it suit the members
of the Republican party. The over
whelming majority is for gold, and they
viii want gold standard Those of
the party who favor silver favor free
silver
What the people of the country de-
mand is that the two great parties
shall make the financial issue clean
cut and without any equivocation.
That Should be the policy at st. Louis;
and at Chicago. All the probabilities
are that the Republican platform will
read: I'VE are in favor of the main
tenance of the gold standard, and op-
posed to the free coinage of silver at
any ratio" 1t is the sentiment of the
party and let it declare it. No coward
ice at st. Louis No cowardice at

PROTECTION THE ISSUE.

That any paper in Utah, Republican
or Democratic. should declare protec-
ton is the issue this year, is most as
eouiehsng. Yet the Provo Enquirer
does this very thing. In a half apollo
getic way it says the people of the
west regard the silver question as
the paramount issue, but that in other
sections it is protection. 1t then de-
clares there is no denying this fact.
Our Provo contemporary cannot have
been very close reader of eastern
or western papers or have carefully
watched the trend of public opinion
as shown in the state conventions that
have been held, to take the view it
does
1t says that this year the power of
the protective policy has been display
ed in the election of delegates for
Mckinley and the overwhelming de-
feat of extraordinary combinations
against him. Will it explain why so
many Republican papers. papers that
are as much for protection as McKin-
ley himself, are calling upon Major
Mckinley to declare his views on the
financial question: Why leading men
in Wall Street are vouching for his
views. that he is for Sound money!"
The Enquirer admits that the Chi
cago convention will very likely de-
clare for free silver, but it does not
believe the Democrats in the south
are sincere in their silver sentiments.
They certainly act as though they
were. After this it closes its extraor-
binary article with this very extraor-
binary statement:
But there will always -be a great
many caught by the platform pledges
of the unterrified; and this year, if the
Chicago convention again declares
for silver and the st. Louis conven-
ton makes protection the main issue,
as it no doubt will do Republicans
are going to have some trouble. in
keeping in step. Some will be sure
to break ranks. A number of states
may even go over to tge enemy, but
not enough will go to give the Demo-
Gratis a victory. The silve9 states
could all go with the south, and still
protection will win, if the last three
elections are any criterion.
Practically this is an admission that
there is no hope for silver at ST. Louis
Throughout the entire article there is
not an intimation that the Republican
party is even friendly TO silver or
that the people of the west may be
sure the interests of silver will be
we'll looked after at the Republican
national convention. 1t is true the
Enquirer has no grounds, on which to
hold out such hope, still it is usual
to hold it out. if for nothing more
than to keep silver Republicans from
seeing the facts as they are.
Why are some western Republicans
sure to break ranks unless it be that
they want free silver and know they
cannot get it from their own party :?
For the same reason the Republicans
are going to have trouble in keeping
in step.
Try as we may, we cannob but think
when the Provo Enquirer says pro
lection is the ISSUE" and not free
silver. that the wish is father to the
Thought.

THE COMING o. THE GREEN.

Now the spirit of the flood is awake,
And the spirit of the wood is stirred,
And the spirit of the air is beautiful and
fair
And so is the song of the bird.
And there cometh a whisper of spring,
And it's football is light ON the sea,
And it cometh from the south, with a
jewel in its mouth,
And it bringeth blessing to me.
And the bare Dough is rustling with
leaves,
And the dark earth is giistening with
gold,
And the land is all sheen with the COM
ing o the green,
And a new world is born of the old.
And it is not the work of a man,
Who plieth his task here and there;
Not in Single bud and flower, but univer-
sal power,
1t cometh, mighty Spirit, everywhere.
And the hawthorn is snowy in the brake,
And the dear lark is singing up on high,
And the young things are sprouting, the
young children shouting,
And the old tears awake in the eye.
Fer earth was a paradise once,
And life all a jubilee then,
But the glory once seen in the coming O
the green
Departs when we come to be men.
For sweet is the lily in the bed.
And sweet is the flower on the wall:
But sweeter the tear and the pity of the
dead,
For the old things were sweetest of ALL
