BETTER DAYS.

There are certain industries which
are absolutely essential to the pros
perity of a state or community says
the San Francisco Cali, and they may
be summarized, generally, as agricul-
ture in its various branches, commerce,
domestic and foreign, manufactures,
mining, where mineral ground exists,
and cheap and ready transportation. .
Accepting the statement of the Gail
as self-evf6ent truth, we ask the peo-
pie of Utah to recount the number of
the above elements of prosperity that
exist in their state and take heart.
In Utah the resources for the various
branches of agriculture stock raising,
dairying, gardening and fruit raising
are abundant; and because of our
ability to irrigate our land there is less
likelihood of failure through loss of
crops than in any other part of the
United States.
Domestic if not foreign comemrce
with us is considerable, the exports
from the state being the products of
our mines and factories, wool and hides,
and some farm products; cur imports,
machinery and general merchandise.
Our mining country promises to be-
come the most extensive of any with
in the United States; while the increase
of our railroad facilities will bring US
the cheap and ready transportation re-
ferred to in the Cali as necessary to
the prosperity of state.
Indeed, such is the present outlook
for an awakened prosperity for Utah
that We feel warranted in saying to
the business men, be of good cheer, the
trying period of stagnation in trade and
enterprise is nearly over, times are
I Frightening up. And so we would say
to the laborer, to the farmer, to the
stockman--to all who toll or furnish
capital for industry-the gray streak
over the eastern hills heralds the ris-
ing of the sun of prosperity,
and you can afford to relax a. little
the anxiety which has driven joy out
of the heart and the glad smile from
the face. There is, beyond question,
period coming in which the mortgage
on the home can be paid off; the time
notes held against you in the east set
tied; and the family board of the la
borer be filled with better and more
abundant food than in the past, and
he will not be so afraid as now of the
butchers and the grocer's bill.
So people of Utah, this glad Lords
day morning, when the balmy breath
II spring seems to fill all space, don't
resist the sweet whispers of hope, but
listen with attention for they are
prophecies of better times; believe
them when they speak of brighter days
and more peaceful nights, for they will
not dfsappoint you.

Fer CHIEF DEv1SE.


In last Sundays Herald there APP
peared an article over the signature
of DR.. Fell making certain charges
against Chief Devine for alleged fall
ure to perform his duties as electric
light inspector and criticising him
severely. Investigation shows that the
criticism was unwarranted by the
facts. The chief has done all that was
required of him in that position, his
duties, of necessity, being very
limited.
What is most to be regretted is that
the article appeared just at time
when the chief was under suspension
and undergoing trial before the board
of commissioners, which is explained
by the fact that it crept in without
the editors beng aware of it's nature,
1t did not express the belief of The
Herald then, and inquiry demon
strates that Chief Devine ought not
to have been censured in the matter
of electric lights in this city.

TALES OF THE DAY.

Ante-RoOm.
General Sickles rarely sits down to a ia
BILE with old soldiers without contribut-
ing some valuable historical "Reminiscences.
At this same banquet he told this story:
"It was L should think, very early in
the winter of '61-2 that having some bust

one forenoon to his headquarters-in Ad-
miral Semmes house, opposite the Ar

then, and asked the secretary of war to
take seat and wait Mr.. Cameron set

few minutes Mr.. Lincoln came in and
inquired for General Mcclellan. The Of

ties asking that they ADOPT this plan.
What action they will take is as yet
unknown
The Atlanta Journal, Secretary Hoke
Smiths paper, says it is heartily in
favor of popular Democratic express
sion On the subject but it wants ito
have that expression under the fair
est possible conditions so that it can
/ be accepted without question as the
will of the party" But it says that
| to submit this question on the first
Saturday in June would not be fair,
for several reasons. 1t then goes on:
Mr. Crisp has announced his candi-
dacy on a platform favoring the free,
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to l. He will
certainly be opposed by a sound money
candidate and before the Democrats Of
Georgia are called upon to make their
choice between the two they should
nave full opportunity to hear the can
dldate discuss the main question in
volved.
Where there is very decided diff
ference in the party on an important
question it is nothing but fair to the
voters that they should have every
opportunity to inform themselves on
the merits of that question. The
Journal is of opinion that the voters
of Georgia cannot so inform them
selves on the question of free coinage
by June and for that reason suggests
that the voters should not indicate
their preference for United States
senator until the October primaries,
when nominations for members of the
legislature are made. We fail to see
anything unreasonable in this, and if
the good people of Georgia are for free
silver in June, and we believe that they
will be, then they will be, in all human
probability, in October.
OF the merits of the controversy as
to which is the better time for the
Georgia voters to indicate their pre-
ference for United States senators we
know nothing, but we are very glad
TO see the sentiment in favor of the
nomination Of senators by the people
growing. When SO nominated they
will more truly represent the state.
Until United States senators are
elected by direct vote of the people
the proper thing to do is have them
nominated in great conventions of the
people.

THE TURNING TIDE.

Adversely is much Swifter of foot
than prosperity Disaster to trade and
commerce may come in a day-an
hour; but prosperity only comes with
years of work and waiting. This gen
eral truth reminds one of the China
mans description of toboggan slide
"Gette on to-bog-zip! wake mile upe
hiller'
The past few years have been years
of depression in the commerce and
general industry of the United States,
and for matter of that, throughout the
world. The tide went out suddenly
enough, its ebbing was rapid, but the
returning flood has been long de-
layed; and some who watched longing
ly for its return grew sick and faint
and at last slept before it came.
But it is returning. Slowly, perhaps,
but it is coming; and one of the evil
dences of it is seen in the increased
imports and exports of the country.
An eastern exchange, making a sum
mary of little sheet issued by the
Bureau of Statistics on imports and
exports for February, and also for the
eight months ending in 1895 and 1896,
says:
In February, 1895. we sent abroad
only s55,9S2.734 worth of merchandise.
In February this year our exports Of
goods amounted to $77,710,93S. a gain
of more than s21 100000. or over 3S per
cent.
For the eight months ending with
February, 1895, our exports of mer-
chandise amounted to s557 1856, 66S. For
the corresponding eight months of this
year they were swelled to $500, 614,9S1.
Our imports for February, 1895, were
S5S,315.9S1. For February, 1896, they
were S62, 487, 29S For the eight months
in 1895 they were S466, 233 SIG, while for
the eight months of this fiscal year
they were s541, 212,774, a gain of nearly
$75,00O,000.
"These figures" says the exchange,
mean that the people of this country
have been buster this year than last;
that they have had a larger trade both
in exports and imports; that they have
sold more goods and are able to buy
more; that more men and women have
been employed, more wages paid and a
greater prosperity secured. 1t is a
good showing and an encouraging
one

CHARGES AGAINST MCKINLEY
MANAGER.

Major Mckinley is very far in the
lead for the presidential nomination al
ST. Louis, but the race is only started.
Already serious charges are being
brought against the manager of his
campaign, Mark Hanna. He is accus-
ed of having solicited the big manufac-
turers of Pennsylvania for money to
aid Mckinley in his campaign This
is a solicitation of money for candi-
date and not to aid the party. Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire, speaking
of the subject says:
/ have no doubt that the prevailing
impression is correct that there is a
widespread and systematic Doodle cam
paign carried on from start to finish
in the interest of Mckinley. Mark
Hanna is Undoubtedly expending large
sums in McKinley's interest, and Han
ma is one of the delegates-at-large from
the state of Ohio. If the people of this
country can understand that they are
being hoodwinked by Doodle cand1-
date, whose popularity is manufactur-
ed in the interest of highly protected
monopolies, they are likely to lose their
interest in the principle of protection,
and make it warm for such a candi-
date.
If there is doodle campaign" at
this early date, long before any nomi-
nation is made what might the people
expect of the man in whose behalf it
is being carried on should be nomi-
mated and elected president? Mckinley
may not have known of this doodle
campaign" at the start, but he cannot
be unaware of it now. And if it really
is being carried on in his behalf, the
same maxim will apply in politics that
applies in law. HE who does thing
by another does it by himself
All these charges may be explained,
but they have now reached that point
when they must be explained if Nc
Kinley's managers intend to make q
life fight at st. Louis. A serious unex-
planned charge in politics is death
dealing instrument.
If fat" is being fried out of the
manufacturers now for Mckinley, and
he is nominated and elected, the peo-
pie may depend upon it that the manu-
facturers will in turn fry the fat" out

contains lengthy letter from Senator
Arthur Brown explaining the reasons for
his vote on the Morrill, motion, as we'll

The Apex and Dip Cloud.

1t is stated that a movement is on foot
looking to the removal of the apex and
dip cloud that now overhangs the Camp
Floyd district. A certain company, it is
understood. will prove up on its apex
and institute proceedings in order to Sc
cure judicial determination of the rule
that is to be applied to the district It
is hardly conceivable that the law of
apex and dip should be applied to the
Camp Floyd gold belt. Such an applica
ton would be the browning outrage of
the infamous mining code. The apex law
was framed to meet conditions known to
exist at the time of it's passage, when
lode mining was confined to fssure veins
nearly perpendicular, and subsequent dis
coveries have demonstrated the desir-
ability of it's repeal.-Mercur Mercury.

ENGLAND's INVASION OF THE sou
DAN.

We shall soon hear again the shock
of battle in the Soudan. Our dis
patches yesterday gave evidence of
the existence in Egypt of great enthu-
siasm over the British determination
to occupy Dongola in the upper Nile
country, and possibly Khartoum.
Already great activity is man
! Tested among the Egyptian forces and
the English army of occupations; and
at Cairo, among the English at least,
the prospect of war positively seems
to be hailed with delight
Sudden as seems to have been the
British determination to invade the
Soudan, it is as promptly met, if
indeed it was not preceded, by the ac-
ton of the KhaHfa in proclaiming the
"Jehad"-holy war-against Egypt;
and the call for all dervishes capable
of bearing arms to assemble under his
banners. In answer to that call the
dervishes have already begun to as
semble at Dongola, and the Egyptians
and British will in all probability have
to hasten their movements or they
instead of the aggressive side of the
coming conflict, and Egypt instead of
the Soudan may be invaded
Meantime the reason for England's
action in deciding to invade the Sou
dan country grows more apparent
During the discussion in the house of
commons on Friday, it developed that
the invasion Of the Soudan had been
undertaken because of the fear that
the success of the Abyssinians over
the Italians would beget such conf
dence in the Khalifa that if Italy's
forces were again defeated, many
tribes alienated from him now would
return to him and the interests of
Egypt would be threatened, and an
effort might even be made to destroy
it.
But more than this was developed
by the discussion. Mr. Chamberlain.
the secretary of state for the colonies,
in the course of his remarks, said that
Lord Rosebery had tainted the gov
eminent with its isolation; but the
present situation did not show that
they were isolated. Germany support
ed Great Britain, Austria warmly ap-
proved and Italy thankfully accepted
it.
AS to France and Russia-well it
would not be wise to anticipate what
the action of France and Russia
would be, said the secretary, though
there was no reason to suppose they
were not in accord with the other pow
ers
All this simply means that the
taunt of Lord Rosebery as to the iso-
lation of England in the matter of
European alliances had its effect on
the English ministry, and it took
advantage of the opportunity to go
indirectly to Italy's assistance by in
vading the Soudan, and thus open the
way to association with the nations
forming the dreibund and as for
France and Russia-why, it's not wise
to anticipate what the action of France
and Russia will be! But if they OBJ
ject will not England have Germany,
Austria and Italy for allies? Then let
France and Russia, Evolutionary and
natural enemies of England, do what
| they will
European politics and European in
ternational policies, more than desire
to serve the interests of Egypt. are at
the bottom of England's invasion of
the Soudan.

We hope the Legislature does not in
tend to adjourn without taking some
action whereby men accused of crime
and waiting trial, where not out on
bonds, shall not be held in the peni-
tertiary No matter with what crime
they may be charged, nor how strong
the evidence against them appears to
be, they are to be considered innocent
until proven guilty. Now to hold a. man
who is presumed to be innocent, until
proven guilty, in penitentiary with
convicts men whose souls are often
black with crime, is a great wrong; in
fact, it is an encouragement to crime.
Then if the man so held is discharged
because not guilty he has put upon him
the stigma of having been in the PEN
itentiary, a stigma far greater than
that of having been held in a county
Jail. No prisoner should ever be held
in a penitentiary who has not been
convicted of a felony. This is an i'm
portant matter and one that should
not be allowed to go over until another
legislature meets.

The Republican bosses of New York
are seriously thinking of adopting the
unit rule for the delegates to the st.
Louis convention. If it is done it will
be in the interest of Governor Nor
tons candidacy and to completely
nullify the work of the Mckinley men
in New York, they having secured sew
eral delegates, notably in the Thirty
third congressional district, in Erie
county. The unit rule has never found
favor in the Republican party but has
generally prevailed in the Democratic
party. 1t has it's advantages as well
as disadvantages. 1t is matter that
should be very carefully considered
this year by all the friends of silver in
the Democratic party. 1t is quite likely
that in some OF the larger eastern
states it will be possible to get nearly
half of the delegates who will be ia
vorable to silver if the rule is not en-
forced, while otherwise the entire dele
cation would be against silver. Let the
friends of silver give the matter atten-
ton.
