A FIGHT TO A FINISH.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal says there is not a
shadow of hesitation in Mr. Cleveland S
purpose to fight the financial battle to
finish. He further states that one
Of the presidents most ardent sup
porters in congress had a talk with
him on the subject of the probable ac-
ton of the Chicago convention on the
money question, and that the president
reiterated his opinion that the salvation
of the party depended upon it's firm
adherence TO the principles of sound
money. When the conversation fell
upon the action of the Missouri con-
vention, the president did not appear
to be at all put out at its action, but
remarked that wiser counsels will pre-
vail in time TO save the party from
destroying itself"
All this means that Mr.. Cleveland
will himself take the leadership OF the
goldbug portion of the Democratic
party and make the fight for Sound
money" By that we do not desire it
to be understood we think that he will
become candidate at Chicago but
that he will use all the resources, of
whatever nature, at his command. He
win never hesitate a single moment to
use the power of patronage to accom-
plish his end. That he will coax, coerce
or wheedle as best suits his purpose.
no one need doubt for moment. With
Mr.. Cleveland, it must never be forgot
ten. the end justifies the means.
In view of all this it behooves the
Democratic party in the silver produc-
ing states and in those states where the
free coinage of silver is in favor to
send to Chicago men who can neither
be coaxed, coerced or wheedled by Mr..
Cleveland or his followers. No man who
has ever come under the influence of

WHO WILL BOLT:

A little while ago there was much
talk among the goldbugs of the Demo
cratic party about the sin of boiling
national convention by any portion
of the party. That was when the gold
bugs felt sure they would control the
Chicago convention. Then they stood
upon very high moral plane. But
things have changed since then, and
with them the opinions of the gold
bugs on the sin of boiling.
A New York dispatch to the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat, a usually we'll
informed paper, says in the event that
the silver Democrats are in control at
Chicago, the Cleveland, or sound mon
ey, men will bolt, organize another
convention and nominate ticket.
It is doubtful if the above plan has
been seriously contemplated, for it
would be a confession that the gold
bugs are already beaten, and that con-
fession they will not make at this stage
of the proceedings. If they really de-
sire to bolt, they will find that no one
is holding them.
Instead of boiling it is more proba-
bic that they will accept the inevitable
and sulk in their tents, thereby passive
ly doing what they can to defeat a sill
yer candidate. Should they do so,
still it is probable that there is more
than enough Independent silver senti-
ment in the country that would support
a Democratic free coinage candidate
to compensate for the loss of the gold
bug vote. Should this vote decide to
support goldbug candidate, such as
is almost certain to be nominated at
st. Louis, instead of sulking in its
tent, just what the result would be no
one can say definitely.
The question now is, will the gold
bug Democrats bolt the Chicago nomi-
nation if the nominee is an out-and-out
free silver man?

THE FIRST GUARD.

Word came to us yesterday of the
passing away on Sunday of Father
| Robinson" of American Fork The
particulars as to the place of birth,
age of the veteran, circumstances at
| tendant upon his demise, ETC., have
not yet been received. But there is
one thing in this mans life especially
worthy of note-he was the guard
or what in America we call the con
ductor'-on the first passenger train
that ever run over railroad in the
world, the first train that ran between
Manchester and Liverpool.
Now take up any map of the world
which represents the railroads and
behold what a network of the double
iron rails this world has become! And
all within the span of one mans life,
Sixty-six years ago when Father
Robinson" acted as the guard
on that first train carrying pas
sengers in the world, the only bit
of road then completed for that pur-
pose was that between Manchester and
Liverpool; yet statistics of railroad
mileage for the world in 1890 give Eu-
rope 10000 miles. built and equipped
at a cost of SIS, 272, 600 600; America,
1900 miles, built and equipped at a
cost of $11,74O,OO0,OOO Africa, $3.50
miles; Asia, 1850; Australia, 1910
miles, making a total of 354,31O; built
at a total cost of $2S,6T7 600, 900.
This network of railroads has revo-
lutionized the world. 1t has made
neighbors of nearly all the peoples of
the earth, and enables them to see
more of the world within a few years
than men would see in the ages that
are past, though they lived as long as
the antediluvian patriarchs. 1t has
advanced far along the line of abolish
ing distance, in one sense of the word,
and made impossible the future isola-
ton of tribes and nations of men
which in the past has contributed so
much to their benghtedness and saw
agery.
But the wonder is that so much of
this work has been done within the
lifetime of one man. What a develop
ment it has wrought what an unfold

| 1t is difficult to determine always the
character of a speech of an hours
length from brief telegra phic report
! of it. This is all we have as yet of the
speech of President Joseph T. Smith
at the Provo conference; but if the
whole discourse is of the spirit of the
dispatches, President Smith, to say
the least of it. was deahng with the i'm
practicable. If, for instance, the Nor
mon presidency is to dictate in the
sense that they are to command, every
thing in all the relations of our COM
pick, modern life, and nothing is to be
done but what they approve, then it is
about it, and what infinite mischief and
injustice may grow out of it, for such a
thing is utterly impraoticable, ant-may
thus be dismissed so far as secular
things and secular people are concern
ed
Then, again, very few men study
closely the significance of words; and it
is not infrequent that human differ
ences consist not so much in a misun-
derstanding of things as in misunder-
standing the terms employed to rep
resent the things. And we suggest that
if our Mormon friends would use in
place of the word dictate the phrase
teach and advise" in relation to tenn
poral as well as spiritual affairs, they
would perhaps express all they mean
and avoid much misunderstanding with
those not familiar with their religion.

The Philadelphia Times says if the
national Democracy sanctions the 16 to
l folly lit will not only be defeated by
the largest majority ever given against
any party in contested election, but
it will have no future" This looks like
a reasonable view, and yet the Dem
ocracy in 1860 committed even a great
er blunder than the putting up of a
free silver candidate would be. 1t had
future" then, but it was very re-
mote. A free silver break might de-
feat the Democracy for dozen years
or so, but it would not be safe to post
pone it's future" much beyond that
period for that single offense.
That is what the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says The death of the Dem
ocratic party has been predicted many
times but the predictions have never
killed it up to date. Starting into ac-
tive organized life with the century it
has now outlived all other political or
CARNATIONS of those early days of the
republic; and we believe it will endure
while the republic lasts.
