GOLD STANDARD HEROES.

All ages and all causes have their
heroes. though many of these heroes
go down to the grave .unknelled, un-
cofflned and unknown" But the gold
standard advocates of Utah are not
such as these.
a Washington dispatch to the New
York Evening Post says that only four
Republican speakers in Utah came out
squarely for the gold standard and the
st. Louis platform in the recent cam
paign, while all others who adhered
to the Republican party for regularity
sake continued TO advocate protection
and free silver" placing great empha-
sis on the and"
The dispatch goes on to state that
the four speakers referred to were
two Costigan brothers-young men
educated at Harvard, who went to
Salt Lake City to practice law-John
NJ. Zane, their partner. and John E.
Booth, Mormon bishop. Their ad-
ventures We're varied. The Costigans
and Zane were reasonably successful
in finding audiences to whom they
were allowed to present the gold
Standard idea, and they suffered no
violence. although certain sections of
the state were carefully avoided. The
Mormon bishop, however, had a hard
time, and frequently lost his audience,
who with clenched fists and threats of
violence warned the speaker not to
go further in the advocacy of such
seditious doctrine"
This is very rich, indeed. What were
these varied adventures?" The peo-
pie of Utah would be glad to hear of
them. II is probable that had the
Messrs. Costigan gone to New Haven
even advocating the single gold stand
ard they would have suffered violence.
Heretical as the politics of Messrs.
Costigan and Mr.. Zane are, we cannot
believe they We're careful to avoid GER
tain sections of the state But to de-
clare to a credulous world that a Nor
mon bishop in Utah, in these the val
leys of the mountains, and that bishop
Mr.. John E. Booth, had a hard time.
and frequently lost his audience, who
with clenched fists and threats of vio-
lence warned the speaker not TO go
further in the advocacy of such Sc
ditious doctrine" this is too, too much
for poor. weak human nature to stand
without breaking down with laughter.
Your true hero is never conscious of
q heroic act, and it is safe 70 say that
the gentlemen above named did not
know how heroic their course in the
late campaign was until the news went
forth from Washington Certain it is
that the people of Utah did not know
how heroic it was.

HORsELEss CARRIAGES AND CON-
VEXTIONALITIEs.

An exchange says that a London
paper criticises the horseless carriages
because they are shaped like vehicles
drawn by horses. The objection is
well taken, for when the power ap-
Piled is delicately graduated and IN
der perfect control the carriage may be
much lighter in. construction. American
inventors viii probably be the first to
solve the problem.
There s much justice in the criti-
cism. Carriages drawn by electric mo-
tive power are simply the regular road
carriages minus the horses and plus
the motive power. They are ungainly
looking things because they are i'll
adapted 10 the purpose for which they
are built. It is simply another case of
history repeating itself When rail-
roads were first introduced the cars
were merely an ada9tation of the old
fashioned stage coach to a new pur-
pose. Pictures Of those earliest rail-
way coaches make them seem very in

not more so than the horseless car

more so in a few years.

A room EXCUSE.

The philosophy of the saying that "A
poor excuse is better than none" may
be doubted. For example: \ member
elect of the legislature went yesterday
to County Clerk C. E. Stanton and
formally demanded that he issue him
his certificate OF election. Mr.. Stanton
answered him that he would have is
sued the certificate before this had
not The Herald taken the question up
and made an attack" upon him.
This excuse is so poor that it is really
worse than none. Mr.. Stanton over
looked two or three very important
matters in the makeup of his excuse.
First. he entirely neglects the element
of consistency. which neglect is fatal TO
his explanation or excuse, whichever
he may call it. What called forth the
comments Of The Herald was Mr.. Stan
toms refusal to issue a certificate of
election to Hon. R W. Sloan. Shall we
conjecture that that refusal was owing
to The fact that The Herald had not
criticised Mr.. Stanton?
This excuse that the county clerk
offered to the Iegislator-elect for not
issuing his certificate of election was
nothing but the veriest subterfuge.
Does the county clerk determine his
line Of official conduct in accordance
with the comments of the daily press
or the provisions of the statutes? From
his excuse one is justified in inferring
that he shapes it in accordance with
the press comments. But when all the
press praise or criticise him, how then
does he determine his course?
Mr.. stanton's excuse is as sorry a
one as was ever given, and is so trans
parent that a blind man could easily
see through it without the aid of the
X rays. 1t recalls the fable of the wolf
and the lamb drinking at the same
stream. the lamb far below the WOLF
When Mr.. Stanton comes before the

it is then shown that they are pure and +.

credit for them: if it is shown that

rcruRE oE TIE pgMocRAoY.

Ever since the election there has
been more or less discussion of the
prosnects of the Democratic party il
the future. It is prompted chiefly by
the fact that there was a division ii
the party during the last campaign
over the financial question, and that
! there was d national convention OF
sound money" Democrats held at In
/ dianapolis which placed a presidential
| ticket in the field.
Those who discuss the question Won
der whether the party as represented
! at Chicago or the party as represented
! at indianapolis will control the ma
tionaI organization in the future. There
should be no hesitation in answering
that il viii be the party as represented
at Chicago. That convention was the
regular national convention. While that
at indianapolis was an irregular and
independent body. At best the Ma
ticpal" Democrats were a small seq
regated party and the vote they cast
so light that it sinks into an insignifi-
canoe that almost merits contempt.
The question now arises whether the
difference between the regular and the
irregular Democracy on the financial
question is so radical and enduring that
it will be impossible for them TO come
together again. At present no one can
say definitely whether this difference is
so radical as to have that effect or
not. Of enc thing there seems to be no
doubt, which is, that the Democrats
who supported Mckinley are already
very sick of, their mesallisnce. and are
looking around for some place of ref
uge. The indianapolis movement hav-
ing been but temporary, they find it
impossible 20 flock 10 il. II they do
not come back into the regular Demo-
cratic fold or. land in the Republican
camp, they VIII be under the necessity
of floching by themselves and thus De
come birds OF passage between the two
parties. They may develop into full
hedged mugwumDs. the same as the
Republicans who broke away from
their party twenty odd years ago did.
In the states the two wings Of the
party can still be depended to act to-
gether, even to the extent of congress
sional elections. If the great issue
four years hence is not the financial
one. and four years will bring many
changes, so that no one can predict
with certainty what the issue viii be,
the probabilities all are that the Demo-
Gratis and the National Democrats
viii be working together as formerly, (
and as though there never had been
any differences. Even if the financial
question is the issue four years hence, |
it is not at all unlikely that those who |
refused TO accept a free silver policy |
this year viii accept it in 1900.
The future OF the Democratic party |
in the United States is anything but
dark and discouraging. Those who
say that il VIII pass away and another

Chicago Post: It was shortly after
the honeymoon, and he had grown 4
trife weary Of a suDerabundance OF
sweetness, as men will sometimes.
He was tired when he got home. but
he kissed her affectionately Even a
tired man can hold W his end in a
kiss. You know. provided il is not too
long drawn out or too frequently re-
peated. So the kiss was all right.
Then she kissed him. and that was
all right, too She had been brought
up very strictly and had been taught
that all debts should be paid with the
utmost promptness, SO that it was only
natural that she should return his kiss
at once to avoid remaining in debt TO
him.
Am the first woman you ever
kissed?"
He had answered that question six
or seven hundred times before. so there
was no particular novelty about it, but
he felt now that is was about time
to give his conscience a little consider
alton. Amy one of his previous an
swers would have ruined George Wash
ington's famous cherry tree reputation.
and he felt that he could not afford 70
lie more than six or seven hundred
times about little matter like that.
Therefore he replied coldly:
Not for your life
George" she cried. breaking away
from him. do you dare stand there
and tell me-
Now, don't get excited" he inter
posed, Il might as well square this
thing with my conscience now. And
besides, you have no kick conip--.
You're the only one out of the 432 that
ever got such a acknowledgements
cinch on me that 1 was afraid to try TO
break the engagement, and you're
playing in pretty good luck at that"
Then he cooked his hat on one side
and started for the door with the air of
a man who feels that he has won
great victory, but nevertheless. thinks
It wise TO go to the club for the even
ing.
And. by the way" he said. as he
paused in the doorway, that question
is foolish one, anyway, and Won
ought to break yourself of the habit of
asking it What you are q lot more
interested in when I come home at
night is this: Are you the last woman
l ever kissed? You young married
women all make the mistake of con-
corning yourselves with the wrong side
Of the ceremony"
He shut the door gently. feeling that
ne had impressed valuable lesson on
her VI
