Washington, May 9.-The senate
gave most of the day to passing of an
accumulation of bills on the calendar
and succeeded in disposing of large
number OF paragraphs in the river and
harbor bill. The river and harbor bill

was adopted inquiring of the several
government departments the number

senators was the most unjust and in

not see the necessity of this expendi-

Washington, May 12.-The animated
contest which proceeded during
the last four days in the senate over
the deep water harbors on the south
ern coast of California was brought to
a close by a compromise be-
tween the conflicting interests. The
issue has been between the points of
Santa Monica, the terminus of the
Southern Pacific railroad and San
Pedro, locality urged by the Califor-
MIA senators. Senator Frye, chairman
of the committee on commerce, finally
harmonized differences by referring
the determination as between Santa
Monica and San Pedro to a commission
to consist Of three civil engineers, a
naval officer and an officer of the coast
survey. The compromise was accept

A COMPOSITE REPUBLICAN.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
There is a beauty of the soul and
there is a beauty of the body. If we
are in harmony with great nature all
nature is BEAUTIFUL. To the perfect
man there is not an ugly thing in all
the world. In this word we sometimes
see a face so beautiful face that
makes real our ideal. that it's image
goes with US through lie, ever haunt
ing us, but why we cannot tell.
Such face is not the composite por-
trait of the members of the Republican
national convention. 1t may haunt one
for years. even for life time, but it
will not be because Of its beauty. And
yet lit is q typical Republican face.
being made up Of the most prominent
characteristics of the faces of nine
hundred and eighteen Representative {
Republicans The forehead is low
such as is supposed to characterize
criminals. There is an abundance Of
hair, hair in all the profus;on of a
Shocky. 1t is long and unkempt, and
is trained in the very opposite direc-
ton to the Pompadour style. In it's
early youth it may have been plastered
Ger with bears oil or perhaps with
scented marrow from some favorite
fatted calf The eyes. "the windows
of the soul" they have in them a leei
and a malgn look, and they seem to be
trying to look at each other through
the bridge of the nose, with small
prospect of accomplishing their aim
The nose is very good were it not be-
tween two such eyes, and over such
a mouth. The contour of the mouth is
hidden by a moustache such as is
sometimes seen on a Ute Indian. The
hairs are straight and bristley, and
should make good coarse paint brushes
From the lower jaw two teeth project
and do not lend an attraction to the
face. The lower lip is full, projecting
and sensual. The chin is fair It is
very much reinforced by a double
chin, which seems to have a tendency
to mufnps. Around this mumpy double
chin grows beard somewhat after
the Paul Kruger style. What the ears

PARTY STAND OFF THE BoLrERs.

The action of the delegates to the St.
Louis convention who bolted continues
to be the all absorbing topic. Among
the Republicans opinion is divided. the
majority, perhaps. justifying the bolt.
| Those who do not approve the bolt
condemn the bc1ters in severe terms.
Ardent silver men themselves, they
say they fail to see wherein the cause
of silver is aided in the least. They
only see a disadvantage in attempt
ing to work outside of party lines.
Furthermore. it is their opinion that
the bolt will solidify more than ever
the ranks of the gold men and drive
to them those Republicans who were
inclined to free silver but as yet could
not see their way to declaring for it
independent of International agree
ment. Some do not hesitate to say
that the action of the boilers is fool
ish. asinine and wrong in every
respect Others, of more even
temperament, deprecate it as being ex-
ceedingly unwise and as tending to
disrupt the party within the state.
Cannon, Representative Allen and Mr..
Kearns in boiling the st. Louis conven-
tion was right and laudable, and such
as to deserve applause, then the ac-
ton of Senator Brown, Mr.. Mccormick
and Colonel Trumbo was wrong and
such as deserves condemnation. Both
cannot be right, if their actions can
be measured by a standard of party
right and wrong. If Senator Cannon
and these who followed him We're right,
then Senator Brown and his followers
were wrong; and vice versa
A boiler from a national convention
cannot be representative of his
party, no matter how deeply attached
he may be to all its principles; the
representative is he who accepts the
will of a majority of the convention
no matter how he may disagree with
its platform declarations. If the Re-
publican party in Utah indorses the
action of Messrs. Cannon, Allen and
Kearns it will simply declare itself no
longer Republican party. The st.
Louis convention fixed and declared
the principles Of the Republican party
and was most emphatic in its declaia-
ton against free silver. The party in
Utah must accept those principles or
throw up its claim to be Republican,
no matter how much it may believe in
protection, bounties and all the doc
trines that have distinguished the
party in the past. Sol distant Re
publicans in Utah must remember that
they cannot be free silver men and
Republicans at the same time; this
fact cannot be straddled.
Senator Cannon, Representative
Allen and Mr.. Kearns took a bold,
courageous and proper stand for free
silver. but by their stand they have
ceased to be Republicans. No one
recognizes this fact more clearly than
they themselves.

REPUBLICAN DOUBT OF DEMoCRAT-
nc SILVER SENTIMENT.

If some Of the silver Republicans
who are expressing themselves on the
probable action of the Democratic ma
tional convention in regard to silvea
are expressing themselves honestly.
then they have no hope for silver. The
chairman of the Republican party ir
Utah. Mr. j. E. Dooly, says
Should the Democratic platform de-
clare in favor CT free silver, l sfla;@
await patiently its ratification by the
leading Democrats and Democratic
press. The Repu blican party is a par
ty of actiou-the Democratic party

judge the future by the past, we want
no Democracy in ours. We should act
as a unit with calgnness and delibeTa-
ton. The remedy to remove the de-
preston now existing in this inter
mountain region. is not Democratic
profession or Democratic ascendancy
The good the Republicans have dome
demands our respect and allegiance for
the present
1t is very evident that Chairman
Dolly does not believe there is any
thing to hope for for silver in the
Democratic party, even though 1T de-
CARES for free silver and should elect
free silver candidate on such a plat
form. Such is also, in substance, the
opinion of the Tribune; and such is the
opinion of cur inter- mountain Republi-
can exchanges. If they are right
which we emphatically deny, then there
is absolutely no hope whatever for free
silver. No one will be so bold or sc
blind as to claim that there is amy
sentiment whatever IN the Republican
party in favor of silver, outside of the
inter-nountsin states. The sentiment
for il is almost wholly in the Demo
cratic party. If the Democratic con-
vention shall declare for free silver
and it's declaration is not sincere, then
there is no escaping the conclusion
that the Democratic masses who hav
chosen the delegates to that conven.

Our Republican friends who favor
free silver, and nine-teuths or NOR

are. should not permit their partisan
prejudices to control their better judg
ment. They cannot but know thai
whatever real hope there is for the
restoration of the free coinage of sill
yer in the United States lies entirely
within the Democratic party. To that
party they should give their support

THE MARQUIS DE MoREs.


The death of the Marquis de Mores
in the Soudan closes a rather remark
able and decidedly romantic career.
Some sixteen years ago he married a
New York lady, Miss Marie Medora de
Hoffman, a daughter of Wall street
banker. On his wedding day Mr. de
Hoffman presented the MARQUIS with
$3.000,000. Then he went west where
he outdid the boldest men in his wild
career. He bought a ranch and
thousands of head of cattle. No sooner
had he taken charge of his Dakota
property than he began most
wonderful if not successful business
career. He built slaughter houses.
Then he killed his own cattle and sold
the product at uniform rate of four
cents a pound. The cowboys fought
the scheme and made war upon the
MARQUIS cattle. He fought his
enemies, and his wife assisted him. he
having taught her to ride, to use the
pistol and the lariat He was a dead
shot and knew not what fear meant.
His enemies soon learned to fear him
and ceased to modest him. His ranch
scheme proved failure as was to have
been expected. When the ranch was
abandoned he and his wife went to
Paris. There he became Boulangist.
He ran for the chambers, was defeat
ed, challenged his successful opponent,

ENCOURAGING THE CARNIVAL.

In g portion of the state press we
observe much more friendly feeling
towards the midsummer carnival than
was at first evinced. They see that
it is a state affair after all, and that
1T will advertise the whole state. 1t
is also recognized that for the towns
of the state to discourage it would be
to bring reproach upon themselves as
being narrow and on-progressive.
The Payson Globe is one of these
papers. 1t has good and proper word
for the carnival. 1t wishes to see
great advertisement for Utah, as people
from all over the east and west will
visit us and learn of our enterprising
spirits and loyal hearts existing in our
irftermountain homes. 1t thinks that
those who attend the carnival would
do we'll to make it point to return
home on the evening of the 3rd of July,
as by so doing they would not only
help make the carnival a success, but
they would be at home to help make
the national birthday celebration in
their own towns success.
That is a proper way in which to
speak of the carnival. 1t is also pat
rictic to wish to make the Fourth of
July celebration in all the towns a sue
cess. 1t is really a S,cred day and
cannot be too universally or too thor
oughly observed.
We like the spirit of the Globe's ar
ticle; it is as it should be. Utah is too
big a state for any of her citizens to
be small about matters that concern
the whole commonwealth.

he went to Tonquin, engaged in I'M

returned to Paris where he preached
anarchist doctrines and was sent to
Jail for three months in consequence
of displaying too much enthusiasm.
AS young man he had been cavalry
officer and had served in Africa, to
which country he returned, seeking

Personally he was said to be very
handsome, being five feet ten inches in
height and of 1.-THE, graceful figure,
full OF strength and agility. His eyes

his complexion dark olive. He is said
to have fought some twenty duels,
killing most of his men.

JAPANESE COMPETITION.
