Saloons Closed.

w ednesday Sheriff Warner demanded
OF the saloon men here, as he had done
before at other points in the county,
the LIQUOR license for the first quarter,
which under the new law Is $500 per
wear. The saloons promptly closed for
the sale Of spurious liquors. Just wheth-
or the saloons will be running in full
blast again under the old order or not
does not seem to be determined at this
writing. We understand that an united
effort will be made TO contest the new
law, which is recognized by them dur.
inc these hard times to be prohibitive
TO such a degree that 1t means a loss to
nav the license. AT Rexburg, In addi-
tion TO the state license OF $500, the
town counsel last Monday night legis'
lated another 800. per year. It's prob
able that the saloons here will open vi
again on the first of the month, paying
the second quarters license, under pro
test. Il is conteuded by some that the
INST quarters license cannot be collect

TESTING RAILROAD ENGINEERS
EYES.

Railroad travelling is attended with
many dangers, and the railroad COM
panies have done much ITO minimize
it. This has been done for the public
safety and in their own interest; in
fact their own interest has been the
best guarantee of the public safety.
Because of this men working upon rail-
roads have come to be among the most
temperate in all the country. 1t be-
came too expensive to have trains run
by engineers who were addicted to
drink The same with conductors and
brakemen. So that today the first re-
quisite in an engineer. conductor or
brakeman is that he shall not be
drinking man. Another great source
of danger was color blindness in men,
a defect far more common than gen.
orally supposed The color-blind man
need not apply for any position on any
train or in any depot. Now comes the
Pennsylvania railroad with another in
nova)tion. 1t is requiring it's engineers,
conductors and brakemen to have their
eyes examined to see if they are defec-
tive, and where found to be so it re-
quires them to wear glasses to
correct the defect. The examfna-
ton is made by the company's
own expert. An engineer must
be constantly straining his eyes to
see what is ahead. to read signals, and
the like, and the consequence is that
the strain upon the eye is tremendous.
Then the rapid motion of the train
makes the number of impressions upon
his eye innumerable and this is very
much more trying on the eyes than
gazing at motionless objects. There is
need then that their eyes be tested.
Defective vision in an engineer may
easily cause an accident that could
have been avoided by the wearing of
proper glasses.
The innovation introduced by the
Pennsylvania railroad is one that will
result in reducing the number of &C
cidents, which of course is the reason
for it, and in greater safety to the
travelling public 1t is one that other
roads will most likely adopt, and that
soon.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-10

that convention men who will profess
firm conviction in bi-metallism, but
who ait the same time viii insist that
they cannot consent to the opening of
the minis to free and unlimited coin
age of silver as that would result in
silver recommendation; that the only
way to have real bi-metahism is to
have gold the standard with the privi-
lege of free and unlimited coinage OF
it; but only limited coinage of silver
from time to time; limited legal tender
quality assigned to it, and kept in such
subordinate relations and quantity coin
ed to gold as will enable both metals to
circulate side by side-such will be one
view of pi-metallism, and one ground
of compromise offered. And there will
be the compromise of international
agreement the Whitney compromise.
Recently in a letter now going the
rounds of the press, Mr.. Whitney
while disclaiming to be a candidate
for the presidency, took occasion to
say that he was "a believer in gold
and silver as the metallic basis of
values and of the worlds currency"
Il am confident" said he, ''that with
in a time not far distant there will be
a concurrence of the nations upon that
subject, by which the ratios of value
of the two metals for coinage and cur
rency purposes will be fixed and the.
stability of such values maintained by
an International agreement"
This hope of speedy International
agreement will be held out to the pro-
| compromise, and every effort made to
force it upon the convention; but the
earnest friends of silver will best
show their wisdom by rejecting not
only this but all other propositions of
compromise Bimetallists who would
subordinate silver to gold in limiting
its coinage and legal tender quality
are simply not bi-metallists; bimetal-
| lists who insist that we shall wait for
cooperation of European nations are
simply doomsday bi-metallists. The
way to secure the cooperation of the
old-world nations is to proceed upon
our own responsibility to the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver, with unlimited legal tender
quality conferred on each; and when
the nations of Europe wake UP to the
fact that the United States have solved
the money problem for themselves,
they will quickly enough fall into line
and International agreement can be
trusted to take care of itself. Demo-
Gratis want to fix it in their minds that
the time for solving the money prob
lem has come. Nothing can be gained
by postponement or compromise. The
time is ripe for straight out and out
work that knows no compromise, that
1 will consent to no lodging, that will
wait for the action of no other nation
on earth; and the time and place for
the Inauguration of that struggle-the
beginning of the end-which shall re-
suit in restoring to the people the
money of the constitution is in the
month of July, in the year of grace
1896, at the Democratic national con-
vention, in the city of Chicago.

NO COMPROMISE.

From remarks made by Secretary
Carlisle in New York the other day
the goldite Democrats of that city have
concluded that there is danger that the
silver forces will capture the Chicago
convention This seems to be Mr..
Whitney'S view and he would gladly
bring about a compromise if it were
practicable upon the basis of trying to
secure an international agreement in
favor of bimetallism. But it is said
that he doubts if such a compromise
can be effected. 1t would seem that
New Workers expect the silver forces to
capture the Chicago convention and
thereby drive out the goldites, whereas
exactly the opposite result will, in
their opinion, be reached in the Re
publican convention. This may cause
the gold-standard Democrats to sup
port the Republican ticket But about
it all there is good deal of guess
work. 1t merely serves to show what
New York Democrats are thinking
about.
We quote the above from the DEN
yer Republican, in order that we may
call attention to the constantly grow
ing opinion that the pro-sflver men in
the Democratic party can carry the
national convention for straight de-
cIaration in favor Of the free coinage
Of both silver and gold; and also to
point out the dangers that stand in the
way OF the achievement of that result
Those dangers are in compromises
that will be proposed. There will be in

1t was unfortunate that Mr.. Cleve-
land, when he turned home missionary
and denounced the west with that
characteristic zeal with which the
neophyte usually attacks the heather.
was not little better informed as to
the location of the class Of persons in
need Of the good services of the home
missionaries. The board of home mis-
sions of the Presbyterian church
seemed to understand the business
much better than the president, and in
their official report for the year 1895
accurately located the evils against
which they were to wage eternal war
fare in the great cities. Evidently the
presidents prejudice against the west
led him to fire in quite a different di-
rection than that to which the Presby-
terrain church was looking, as is evil
dent from the following from the
boards report, quoted in the Rocky
Mountain News of Sunday:

supernatural: and immortality, leading
not only to notwithstanding, profan-
ity, intoxication, gambling, fraud, vio-
lence and assassination, but also to
deliberate impiety, undisguised an
archy and scornful atheism.
The fetid pools found in all our large
cities overflow and threaten to devast-

thus far our rural districts are not
seriously threatening our peace or our
future prosperity. For in them we do

Appalling Display of Ignorance.

The ignorance of the average English
man concerning the greater part of the
United States is paralleled by that of Mr..
Cleveland. Therefore it is not surpris-
ing that he should know nothing of the
wonderful development of the country
west of the Alleghanies and that he
should regard all ''the west" as in the
immoral conditions of far west mining
camp. His address at the home missions
meeting displayed an appalling ignorance
the former communities of New England
than they are like mining camps. 1t is
in the large communities of the east that
funds for missionary work are needed
Only those who know nothing OF the
west can applaud Mr.. Cleveland's sug-
gestion of western missionary needs. II
is not surprising that the western people
are shocked by his ignorance of theiI
degree of civilization.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
