TRAMPs IN THE CITY.

The city is infested with tramps.
Moreover, they seem to be of the vici
Gus and criminal class and are COM
hitting deDredations in various parts
of the city. Up to the present influx
of tramps the town has been remark
ably free from crime and the citizens
have felt secure and have been with
out apprehension. This state of things
is changing. 1t is not at all likely that
the tramps will become so numerous
that they can carry on their deDreda-
tons with impunity. The city authori-
ties are pursuing the proper course in
treating the tramps. as Migrants and
Furnishing them as such. By dealing
with them promptly and energetically
the Wandering Willies and Dusty
Roads will soon learn that Salt Lake
City is not a desirable place to visit
notwithstanding its unique history and
magnificent surroundings.
1t may be necessary during the ap-
preaching carnival and for some time
after to increase the police force. If
it should be, the city council would be
justified in making the increase and
its action would be upheld by all
classes of citizens.
The tramp nuisance in Salt Lake
City must be abolished.

his father, George Q. Cannon, the noted
Mormon elder and leader, when a dele

house of representatives, shared their
political opinions, enjoyed their SYM
pathy and cheer. 1t was in the days
when Senator Edmunds, backed by the
Republican party, was demanding pro-
hibitory legislation against the Nor
mon church and its rites in Utah;
when the federal judges in Utah were
almost prosecuting the Mormon lead
ers with prosecutions, and the con-
stabulary of the government was eXer

and the policy of working out social

possible with the rights of personal
liberty and property, said Let US

TELLER AS THE PoPULIsT CANDI.
DATE.

Right straight along the enemies of
free silver have been charging that the
demand of the advocates of free silver
was Populistic demand. This has
been denied right along for nothing
was palmer in politics than that the
free silver movement was not a
Populistic one. Populism. to the gen.
erai public, means an aggregation of
all the wild vagaries that have ever
grown up in our very fruitful political
soil. Was there ever wild and abso-
lutely unrealizable scheme for the i'm
mediate enrichment of mankind and
the adjustment of poverty and dis
tress, it was forthwith mothered by
the Pooulists 1t was the Populists
who evolved the crazy sub-treasury
scheme. If any one would know what
PoDulism in active operation is they
have but TO look at Kansas when it
was under that regime. From Kansas
they can step into Colorado and see
it personified in the person of Bloody
Brides Waite.
Now what have the boilers from the
st. Louis convention gone and done
the very first thing? They have gone
into conference with some of the lead
ers Of the Populist party with the re-
suit that an address has been put forth
from the headquarters of the Populist
party advising Populists throughout
the country 10 make Senator Henry
NJ. Teller their national standard
bearer. Henceforth Mr.. Teller will
be known as the Populist candidate
and he will not be able to shake him
self loose from the political odium that
fact will bring upon him. He may
stand as champion of silver, but in
the public mind he will be regarded
as the champion of Populism and all
that it means. Of course il the Popu-
lists do not accept the advice of the
! address Mr.. Teller cannot be regarded
as their champion, but he will be
locked upon as a man who was per-
fectly willing to be their champion.
We cannot but think that the boiling
silver men have committed a grave
political blunder and brought the silver
cause for which they were willing &c
sever their old political ties and all
that they meant TO them, into disre-
pute. Ii seems impossible that Senator
/ Teller can know Of and approve of all
that his associates are doing in his
name Ii he does, he cannot but suffer
materially in the estimation of al
those by whom he has heretofore been
highly regarded.

coNsuL-GENERAL LEES DISPATCH

Consul General Lee is said to have
forwarded to President Cleveland dis
patches of the greatest Importance.
The Havana telegram announcing this
fact says they contain General Lees
full report and are of an extremely
sensational character. The CORES
pondent who sends this news says
that while the consul-general was very
reticent and refused to answer his
questions, yet he feels justified in
drawing the conclusion that the docu-
ment is of tremendous Importance to
the United States and Spain. So
strong is it, he says, that it may be
made the basis of armed intervention
in Cuban affairs on the part of the
administration at Washington immedi-
ately.
Whatever may be the nature of Gen
eral Lees report certain it is that the
correspondents is very sensational, far
more sensational than the official one
is apt to be. The correspondent I'M

declaring at the outset that the consul
general was very. reticent and refused
to answer his questions. All the cor
respondents surmises may be correct.

cannot fail to be of great interest, no
matter what the nature of it may be.

THOSE TEARS.

The Kansas City Times does not APP
preciate Senator Frank Cannon's tears
as it should. 1t has long editorial on
them. the sole purpose of which seems
TO be TO show its lack of appreciation
of them. 1t fails to see that they were
not idle tears; they were busy tears,
for in that great convention no one
had time to be idle: events were tran
spring with all the rapid succession
of a dream. The article is such ex-
cellent reading, so exhilirating, and in
some OF its historical references so true
that we give a portion of it, but in do
ing so we wish to say that we depre-
cate any attempt to make light of
those tears. and this the Times does:
They say that Senator Cannon, of
Utah, shed tears, aye, he sobbed audi

HE Is JUST AWAY.

/ cannot say, and l will not say
That he is dead-he is just away.
With cneery smile and wave of the
hand, ~
He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since, he fingers there.
And you-oh, you-who the widest yearr
For the old-time step and the glad re-
turn
Think of him as faring on as dear
In the love of there as the love of here.
Mild and gentle as he was brave
When the sweetest love of his life he gave
To simpler things, where the violets grew,
Pure as the eyes they were likened to.
The touches of his hands have stayed
AS reverently as the lips have prayed
When the little brown thrush that harsh
ly chirped.
Was dear to him as the hooking bird;
And he pitied as much as a man in pain
A writing honey bee wet with rain.
Think of him still the same. l say,
He is not dead-he is just away.

SENATOR DUBOIS, OFFER.


Senator Dubois has offered the
Democratic party Senator Teller as
candidate. He says the offer is made
in the utmost good faith. That may
be, we do not doubt that it is, but the
offer is so generous, SO impromptu
that it will naturally overwhelm the
Democrats. Senator Dubois, who
seems SO very cock sure and patron
izing, says that the fight for currency
reform canno. be won with any one
else. 1t would have done much better
had he said the fight for free silver, as
every one knows just what that
means.
Within the past two years cur
rency reform" has come to mean some
thing entirely different from free sill
Yer. Our Idaho senator cannot but
know this, too
Senator Dubois assumes that Mr..
Teller can carry all the Democratic
states While no Democrat could. His
assumption is very wrong. He says
that with a strong anti-free trade feel
ing in the middle and far western
and northwestern states, I'VE could
not hope to give the Democratic ticket
headed by any old-time Democrat more
than sixteen votes of the electoral col
lege." Does he think there will be no
anti-protectionist, no anti-bounty, no
anti-Republican feeling in the Demo-
cratic party that Will stand in the way
of accepting as it's standard bearer an
old line Republican who has left his
party within less than a month of the
meeting of the Democratic national
convention? Does he think Democrats
have no party principles and tradi-
tons to which they are attached?
Senator Dubois talks as though he
had the presidency of the United
States at his disposal. He senten-
tiously says that the Democrats now
have an opportunity to redeem the
| pledges which they have been making
the people SO many years" All he de-
sires is that the redemption shall be
according to his plans and specifica-
| tons. The Democratic party will re-
deem its pledges to the people. All
| Chicago it will declare in. plain and
explicit terms for free silver and viii
name as honest, able and thorough
going a free silver Democrat as Mr.
Teller or any one else. And we shall
expect to see Senator Dubois support
| him if he is as sincerely in favor OF
free silver as he processes to be; but
if he and his fellow boilers insist or
| placing their own silver candidate il
the field Notwithstanding the fact tina
there will be a Democratic free silver
candidate in the field also, then they
will most likely succeed in dividing the
silver forces and defeating free silver.

TALES OFF THE DAY.
His Face Was His Fortune

He was a delicate young man in u
pink shirt and duck trousers, both Of
which he wore in a pompous and con-
ceited manner. He was seated in the
train dangling his tennis racquet, anu
busily amusing a number of bright young
ladies and gentlemen of his party.
"Ah, how good! Here's the conductor.
Watch me astonish him.
Ticket SIR said the conductor.
My dear man. said the young man,
''my-er-face is my ticket
The conductor smiled and looked around
at the young mans friends, and then, in
a polite and apologetic manner, said: Il
beg your pardon, ladies and gentlemen,
but my orders are to punch all tickets,
and I'm afraid 1 might destroy this ticket
so much that / can't turn it in at the end
of the run
Here the young man colored redder than
his shirt, and hastily produced his ticket
amid shouts of laughter from his friends.
