/" Thrilby" at Keith's Next Week.

A most important engagement of next
week is the appearance of the Garrick
Burlesque Company, who will present at
Keith's Opera House, commencing Mon
day, February IL, with ususl matinees,
Herbert and Puerner's up-to-date bur-
lesque, "Tbrilby." 1t is a good natured
satire on Du Maurier's novel, and comes
here with the prestige of nearly one
hundred nights at the Garrick Theater,
New York, and four weeks at the Boston
Museum, Boston. The travesty abounds
with brigh', witty sayings and ludicrous
situations, while the music is said to be
unusually catchy. The artists who pre- sent
this merry melange comprise the leading
opponents I'm the field Of comic opera in
this country, and include Amelia Stone,
Willis y. Sweatnam, Carrie Perkins, Mark
Murphy, Sol Aiken, Louis Wesley, Jennie
Reynolds, Edyth Murray, Zelma Rawlston,
Joseph Roberts, Gertrude Murray and
Clarence Coldren as principals, assisted
by q chorus of 81. The entire production
is carried by the company, and the seem
cry Is said TO be particularly novel and
beautiful.

City Departments Apt to
Be WaSteful.
Use Water as if ii Ran Down
Hill.
The General Appropriation May Be
Abolished This Year.

The city auditor has a scheme for the pay
ment of water bills against the several public
departments which. IL adopted. would result
In the more economical use OF water aud save
something OF the wear and tear at the pump
ing stations.
Under the present. system there is an an
nual water appropriation Of $4,000. which Is
for all the departments. Each one is charged
so much as its annual rate at the beginning
of the year, ana then goes ahead and uss all
the water needed. Theoretically the agere-
gate amount Of all their bills is just S3o. 900.
But actually the aggregate often exceeds that.
But as that Is all there Is TO the appropria-
tion, the original bills are scaled down a little
Of courso WITHIN the limits.
There is no incen tive to economy In the use
OF the water, because each department goes
ahead, and may leave faucet and fountains to
run "a hours a day. realizing that the cost
will not come out of their special appropria.
tion.
The suggestion OF the city auditor Is that
the general water appropriation of s3o,o 600 be
done away with, that the department appro-
priations receive a proportionste increase,
and that their water bills Do charged direct.
This would furnish an inducement to be
careful.
Secretary Slade Of the commissioner Of
public works department thinks that 1t
would be u wise change in the system. Some
of the departments, he said. use the public
water as il il was furnished by gravity, and
do not seem TO realize that every drop Of it
has to be pumped.
The annual rates Of the several departments
now are as follows: Sewer, $50: bridges. SO:
pipe yard, sl2s; wardrooms, Sl43; highways,
S595; police and poor. sl027: Athenmum foun-
tain, $40: city hall, $500: schools, s273l. 10:
drinking trouRhs. s5c3l. 81; parks, $1,000; fire
department, SlG. 755. 33.

BRIGHT PROSPECT.

The Herald this morning publishes
two letters from Hon. 0. w. Powers
on the political situation IN The middle
west. They are entirely dispassionate
in their review of the field and give
the people the judges candid opinion
upon the outlook. There are few men
who excel Judge Powers in ability to
anaiyze problem of politics, and his
conclusions, as expressed in this morn
ing's communications. win be accepted
by Utah people as being as nearly ac-
curaae as is possible under the circum-
stances.
1t will be observed that the judge at
first placed Illinois in the doubtful
column; but when he caught the I'M
derlow he was inclined to modify that
opinion.
The judge further states that Indi-
ana, Michigan and Minnesota viii GER
tainly be carried for Bryan. While he
has not been in these states, we may
understand that he has secured reiia-
Bile information. If they are safe, then
the election OF Bryan is sure; we can
lose nlincts and have plenty OF votes
to spare.
The statement made by Judge
Powers respecting the three states
named is given added interest when
placed side by side with a forecast re-
Gently made by Senator German. The
Maryland senator declares that 2S2
electoral votes are certain for Bryan
and that he has the best chance to Sc
cure sc others. In the safe column he
puts Indiana and Maryland. The doubt
full states that he believes Bryan has
the best chance to carry are Michigan,
Minnesota, Illinois. Iowa, Ohio and
Delaware
Few men know better than German
what they are talking about when
they undertake political prediction. He
always knows pretty nearly what is
going on in both camps, and what he
does not know he is shrewd enough
to guess When he puts Indiana in
the safe column we may understand
that he has reason for it; and when
we find Judge Powers attaching his
rame to similar prediction we may
be assured that the Democratic leaders
know that Bryan will carry the
state.
OF course. nothing is certain in poll
tics until the votes are counted; but
there is certainly much reason for the
supporters of Bryan to feel confident
that he will be elected.

views today he would now be support
ing Bryan; but he is supporting can
didate who represents Numerically
opposite views.
Allison is only one of a multitude who
have gone over in the same way; and
it is pertinent to inquire why it is that
they have made the change.
The answer simply is that the money
power has led their party in that di-
rection and they have gone with the
party. The thing has been done a lit
tie at time; the men changed a little
at time, hoping all the while they
could get back, but the transformation
has been complete, and these persons
are now opposing what they formerly
advocated.
The money power also endeavored to
secure the Democratic party, and did
for time get it into a false position.
Many prominent Democrats followed
the march, turning their backs upon
their past records and landing in the
gold camp. They were committed, and
when the party got its bearings and
countermarched they were left with
the enemy.
The Herald wishes to suggest that
there is lesson in all this for silver
men. 1t is that those who attempt to
cling to their party, Notwithstanding
it's opposition to free coinage, will,
sooner or later, be supporting the gold
standard. They will find themselves
sympathizing more and more with all
that the party does and after awhile
they will be ready to surrender their
convictions and repudiate their princi-
pies The only thing to do is to cut
loose and keep the lamp of truth burn
ing brightly by feeding it with oil
drawn from the well of harmonious
party utilization.

IF TEACHES A LESSON.

1t is a remarkable fact that most of
present fight for recommendation have,
in former times, advocated sound prin-
ciples, called things by their right
names and clearly portrayed the bane-
full effects of decentralization. AS an
example of the manner in which such
persons have shifted their ground, the
case of Senator Allison may be cited.
To show what his former attitude was,
it is necessary only to give the follow
ing extracts from speeches made by
him a few years ago;
February 10 1878: But when the COR
rect history of this bill OF 1878 comes
to be told, it viii disclose the fact that
the house of representatives intended
to coin both gold and silver, and in
tended to place both metals upon the
French relation instead of our own,
which was the true scientific position
with reference to this subject IN 1873,
but that the bill afterward was doc
tored, if l may use the term, and
l use it in no offensive sense, of
1 said used the words in no offensive
sense. 1t was changed after the discus
substituted for it.
1t seems to me that the fathers i'm
tended at least that the precious metals
then known to the civilized world
should be THE CONSTITUTIONAL
MONEY OF THIS COUNTRY, and
that congress is BOUND to so legislate
as TO PROVIDE FOR THE CIRCU-
LATION AND USE OF BOTH GOLD
AND SILVER.
precious metals has little or nothing
to do with their value. What is it,
then, that affects their value chiefly?
1t is the demand. What constitutes
the demand? Why is it that we have
silver quoted every day in the London
market? Is ii sold to be worked up
into plate by the siIversmith? Not at
all. It's present demand in the London
market is for shipment to India or
China. What is it that constitutes the
demand for gold? Is 1t in the arts?
Very little of it can be so used There
fore, it is its use as money by so many
civilized states that creates a demand
for it and gives it its value. If all the
European states and our country were
today simultaneously to demonetize
gold and remonetize silver would not
these two metals Immediately change
places, and would not gold depreciate
vastly below the fall of silver in 1876?
Now, If legislation creates the chief
demand for money, il we legislate so
as to utilize silver, we increase the de-
mand and thus increase the value Of
silver. OUR INTEREST IS
TO DECLARE OUR OWN POLICY
AND THEN INVITE THE NATIONS
TO JOIN US IN THAT POLICY. and
by so doing we shall have weight in
such a conference. Without 1t we shall
have little or no weight. WE CAN
FORCE, IF l MAY USE THAT TERM.

USE OF SILVER AGAIN.

THE ONLY DANGER.

1t is now clearly evident THAT the
tactics Of the Democratic and Populist
leaders in the closing days of the cam
paign will be an appeal to the preju-
dices and the passions of men in the
hope of gaining the votes of all who
are ignorant, Disconnected or envious.
These appeals will take three forms:
First, Mckinley will be denounced as
the slave of Mark Hanna. Second,
Mr.. Hanna wild be denounced as the
villainous leader of corrupt corpora
tons, and third, all corporations will
be denounced as the despotic coercers
of the votes of American workin gmen.
All of these things taken together con-
Stitute a direct appeal to revolution.
The fusion orators and organs wifi de-
cry everything that exists in our social
order under the forms of law, and will
endeavor to arouse the people of one
class against those OF the other-the
debtor against the creditor, the poor
against the rich, labor against CAPT
tad, and every man VINO is Disconnected
against the existing conditions of af-
fajrs.-San Francisco Call.
It is really painful to see how the
gold men are worried over this imagin-
airy appeal to revolution.
Nothing has been done in this cam
paign by the Bryan people but to de-
nand justice. That is because injus-
tice has been done. The beneficiaries
OF this injustice do not want to see it
righted, and they are so incensed at
those who advocate the interests of
the people and SO outraged in feeling
over the temerity of those who dare
to question their. right to fatten on
the fruits of injustice that they rise
up with one accord and denounce
Bryan. charging him with attempting
to array one class against another,
calling him an anarchist and alleging
that his programme would lead to rev.
olution.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the fact thar, at another period
in our history, men were found who
dared advocate the claims of justice
agains. proud. arrogant and defiant
power that had it's grasp upon the
throat of the government and upon
the conscience of the country. and that
these men were denounced as disturb
ers and revolutionises. So bitter was
the feeling aroused against them that
their lives were in danger. A large
majority of our most respectable peo-
pie joined in holding them up to public
scorn, and the newspapers generally
gave their columns over to the pro-
gramme of persecution and proscrip-
ton.
After the opposition to the slave
power had grown to such proportions
as to be able to elect Lincoln to the
presidency, he was denounced, even in
the north, as a dangerous character
who proposed to array section against
secticn-and the slave power was so
determined TO have trouble that it
proceeded to make il.
If there is to be trouble now, it will
be brought about by the cruel power
against which this campaign is waged.
Those who are waging the war are
men of peace. They are determined to
win by ballot; they will win in that
way, and the only possible danger is
that soulless greed may refuse 70 abide
by the decision Of that tribunal to
which all such questions must be re-
ferred in free country.
