ELECTRICITY FROM CITY CREEK.

In order to prevent, if possible, the
ing eli the city a thorough inquiry
should be made by the city council
into the electricity generating capacity
of City creek. The stream is of good
size, constant in flow and fails a long
distance within a few miles of the city.
We are now paying nearly $4,000 per
annum for municipal lighting. Certain
ly it would sesm reasonable to suppose
that the interest on the cost of such a
plant, IL feasible, together with the cost
of maintenance, would aggregate
much smaller figure than that men
toned above.
The inquiry is one which the city
council should order made by an ex-
pert electrical engineer-one who has
had a wide experience in dealing with
lust such problems as this.
Of course, we shall not always be at
the mercy of a single company though
it is not improba BILE that we may be IN
as bad a fix through combination by
producers of electricity.
There are two companies now about
ready. to begin operations in Big Cot
tonwood. while it is probably true that
the mammoth Ogden scheme looks to
Salt Lake City as its chief consumer
With such a plethora of current 1t
would seem probable that the city
would be able to secure cheap SER

Tom Reed is getting to be himself
again. w. E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record, says the speaker was discourse
ing the other night concerning the
personal peculiarities of his friend,
Congressman Nelson Dingley, jr., and
characterized him thus:
Now, you know, Dingley has got the
smallest head of any man in the house
of representatives, but it is checked
full of useful information and nothing
else. There is not an atom of waste
room in it and all his brain is given
up to business Dingley never did any
thing that was not useful in all his
life. When he lay in his cradle he was
thinking out problems in Euclid, and
when he was a boy he found more
pleasure in studying his lessons than
he did in play. l am told by various
persons who knew Dingley in his youth
that his mother used to drive him out
to play with broomstick and forbid
him to study more than ten hours a
day Dingley has no humor- He has
no capacity for the enjoyment of what
the rest of the world calls pleasure.
His SOCIAL instincts are not developed.
Why, Dingley would rather take a
stubby old lead pencil and figure out
on the back of an envelope what rate
of duty the Romans imposed on Persian
wool .han sit on a narrow sofa in a
dark room with a pretty girl.

MISSOURI ALL RIGHT.

I'VE further hold that the paramount
issue now before the people of the
United States relates to the monetary
system to be adopted by this coun-
try. and upon that issue we declare
that the federal constitution names
silver and gold together as the money
metal of the United States. Duty to
the people requires that the party of
the people continue the battle for BIZ.
metallism until its efforts are~crowned
with success. Therefore be it
Resolved. That we demand the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio of Is to 1. without
waiting for the action or approval Of
any other government.
"Resolved, That we are irrevocably
opposed to the substitution for metallic
money of a panic-breeding corporations
credit-currency based on a single met
al, the supply of which is SO limited
that it can be cornered at any time
by few banking institutions in Eu-
rope and America.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the policy and practice of surrendering
to the holders of the obligations of the
United States the option reserved by
law to the government of redeeming
such obligations in either silver coin
or gold coin.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the issue of Understanding bonds of
the United States in time of peace, and
especially are we opposed to placing
the treasury of the government under
the control of any syndicate of bank
ers and the issuance of bonds to be sold
by them at an enormous profit for the
purpose of supplying the federal treas
ury with gold to maintain the policy of
gold monometallism."

er. The money plank is in

age of silver. The money plank is in
these words:
We are opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, believing 1t
would involve US in financial ruin. The
gold dollar is. the best dollar and the
least liable to f1uctuate, and for these
reasons and in order to conform our
standard to that of other great COM
mercial nations, we favor 1t as the
standard money of the United States,
and maintaining ON parity every
other dollar, either silver or paper.
That has the ring of the Massachu-
sets Republican platform, and there
is no mistaking its meaning.
The convention endorsed Governor
Bradley as a presidential candidate,
and in case of his withdrawal it en-
dorsed Mckinley. The endorsement OF
Bradley was an empty compliment,
while the alternative endorsement OF
Mckinley was rather surprising, see
ing that he has so thoroughly straddled
the money question. 1t shows that the
Republicans of Kentucky, at least, re-
gard him as gold standard man; ana
that is what he is, no doubt, but ne
has not the courage to say so.
The gold-standard Republicans OF
Kentucky have been afforded inval-
liable aid in their campaign by Pres1-
dent Cleveland, who sent Secretary
Carlisle down there to preach the
gospel of sound money" and to defeat
Senator Blackburn because he is
free silver man. Fer this aid they
should have expressed gratitude IN
their platform; that they did not shows
base ingratitude on their part, and
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle have
right to feel aggrieved. But perhaps
they will deem that the gold plank,
which is fashioned after their own
hearts, will make amends for all else

SENATOR rELLnR's POSITION.

The most important political an
nouncement for some time past is the
news telegraphed from Washington to
the Denver Times saying that Senator
Teller and Representative Shafroth
have decided definitely that they will
not be candidates for election as dele
gates to the national Republican con-
vention.
The reason for this determination is
that they say they cannot support a
gold standard candidate for the presi-
dency, and they only place themselves
in an embarrassing position by partici-
pating in a convention SO certain to
take a position against silver as they
consider the Republican convention to
be. Senator Teller further says that
he promised the people of Colorado in
1894 he would not support a gold stand
ard man in the campaign of 1896, and
he will not change his position now
It is very plain from this that Sena-
tor Teller and Representative Shafroth
are convinced that the st. Louis con-
vention will unequivocally declare for
the gold standard and against the free
coinage of silver That has been the
opinion of all who have carefully
watched the trend of opinion in the
Republican party on the money ques-
ton. The party conventions in Ne
braska, Kentucky, Maine and New
Jersey this week clearly prove that
