APPOINT GOOD MEN.

The city council tonight are, it is ex-
pected, will appoint two members OF
the fire and police board Of commits
sioners, to take the place of two mem
bers whose terms of office expired the
latter part of December.
1t is to be hoped that the council will
appoint good men. Bold men, who will
stand for lanw and order. Strong men,
that cannot be swerved from the right.
and who viii not be the tools of men
in power, or of the saloon element that
so often seeks to dominate affairs NUM-
cipaL BY making this board of police
and fire commissioners bipartisan, il
was hoped that it would be non-parti-
san in the management of the affairs
placed under its jurisdiction. To be so
the commission must be made up OF
strong men; and especially must they
be of such character that they cannot
be suspected of catering to the sup
posed interests of what is known as the
saloon element. Such is the moral SEN
tfment in this city that it will sus-
tain every effort to secure good NUM-
cipal government; and no city official
need fear the influence of the saloon
or rough element Salt Lake is a good
city. that is. the good people over
whelmingly outnumber the bad; the
moral sentiment while not blasted with
Puritanical bigotry or narrow minded
ness, demands clean government, that
prostitution, gambling and other evils
that plague older and larger cities shall
here be crushed and given no recog-
milton as possessing influence to shape
the municipal policy or controlling in
any manner municipal appointments
Let the world know that the law and
order people who insist on good gov
eminent for Salt Lake and who will
sustain and strengthen the hands OF
those who make stand for it, are not
only overwhelmingly in the majority
but they are active and earnest in their
efforts to secure the best possible gov
eminent for the city. So let the coun-
Gil appoint good men, safe men, strong
men on the board of police and fire
commissions.

was negotiated. The assured success
of this popular loan makes it certain
that the three former ones could have
been made successful in popular form
also; and had this plan been adopted
with the first loan, it is by no means
certain that the necessity for the others
would have followed. The bond syndi-
cate, representing spectators, pure
and simple, very soon discovered that
the endless chain could be used to great
advantage to carry water for its wheel:
and it took advantage of the discov-
cry. The syndicate and the banking
interests were enabled. through these
recurring government loans, to hoard
their own gold and throw the entire
burden on the treasury. The treasury
could very easily have rid itself Of the
burden had it awaited itself of the re-
sources at it's command, but did not.
The treasury has taken one step in the
right direction in relying on the peo-
pie, which will have the effect to ere
ate mutual confidence. The resources
of this government are nothing but
the resources of the people; yet this
fact seems to have been overlooked at
times. These popular loans bring the
banks to the support of the govern
ment for the banks depend upon the
support of the people. 1t can be put
down as fact, always to be relied up
on, that the American people will never
permit the financial credit of the
American government to be impaired.
If there must be loans there should
be none but popular ones.

NEEDED PUBLIC SPIRIT.

The people Of Utah do not realize
what wealth of gold they have at
their very doors; and more, they are
afraid Of spending a dollar or two in
letting the world know what they
have in this line. People would flock
to Utah in droves if they only knew
what you have here; and the possess
sion of such inexhaustable deposits Of
gold ore, without letting capital know
what you have, and inviting its aid in
its development, is a good deal like
the man who winked at his girl in
the dark-for he knew what he was
doing and she didn't. so that neither
We're tickled ana reciprocity was out Of
the question.
The above paragraph from the inter
view with Mr.. George Arthur Rice
published in the mining columns Of
yesterdays Herald is worthy the con-
sideration of the people Of Utah. This
is pre-eminently the age of advertise
ment. Nothing can be done without
it. It's Importance is attested by the
amount Of means expended in it by
merchants, by manufacturers, by men
in professional life. in fact by men in
all departments Of industry. business

SENATOR FORAKER ON SILVER.

In his speech before the Ohio gen
eral assembly the other day, Senator
Foraker took occasion to make known
his views on the silver question. 1t is
an important one, one in which the
whole country is interested. He de-
clared his belief in bimetallism, per-
haps the easiest thing TO do in politics
that there is, for the term is capable
of almost any number of interpreta-
tons, and fits a man all over, just like
sleep. He was free to declare that
he thought the demonstration Of sill
yer was great mistake. Moreover,
he said he hoped that some safe way
(wise provision this word "safe)
would be found for the restoration of
silver along side of gold. Then fol-
lowed this:
l shall favor any measure calculated,
in my Judgment, to bring about that
result, subject always, however, to the
condition that it provides for the main
tenance of the parity of the two
metals
Surely it is something new to say
that the government should keep two
metals on parity. It simply under
takes to keep it's dollars of all kinds on
a parity. There can be no chance to
see whether gold and silver as money
metals would keep a relative equal
value unless the minis are open to the
free coinage of silver. To enhance the
one by demonetizing the other surely is
not the way to find out either. It
does no violence, we believe, to Sena-
tor Forakers words to say that he
implies that the parity of the two
metals can OILY be maintained by
International agreement. That such
an agreement would accomplish this
no one will deny. The position of the
advocates of free coinage is that the
United States can do it themselves,
if they choose. One of the arguments
put forth by the gold standard men,
and one on which they rely perhaps
more than any other, is that the
United States must take cognizance of
the monetary systems of the COM
mercial nations. Very true. But it
is a clear case of vice versa.
The friends of silver need not look
for any particular aid from Senator
Foraker. True, he declares he believes
in bimetallism, but his pledge quoted
above is a very pronounced case of
financial wobble.

ELEcTIoN or sENAroRs.


Today the legislature win begin bal
loting for, and will doubtless elect,
two United States senators.
The Democrats will place in nomi-
nation and vote for Joseph L. Rawlins
and Moses Thatcher; the Republicans
VIII vote for Frank ]. Cannon and Ar
thur Brown. The Republicans will
elect their men. It may be, however,
that the Republican caucus agreement
to vote for Arthur Brown will be bro
ken, as there has arisen a strong popu-
lar sentiment within the Republican
party against Mr. Browns election
Whether the protest has been sufi-
GENTLY strong to cause the action of
the caucus to be bolted will be seen
today. 1t may be that Democratic
members will be approached by Re
publicans displeased with the noini-
nation of Mr.. Brown and asked to join
the disgruntled and outwitted Republi-
can supporters Of other candidates in
securing the election of some good Re
publican" A deaf ear should be turn
ed. and viii be turned to all such i'm
portuning. It is out a day or two ago
that Republicans were rejoicing be-
cause, as they alleged, forty-three Re
publicans were able to elect United
States senators without the aid of Dem
ocrats. Be it so. Let Republicans elect
the senators, since they have the
power.
But it is alleged that the election of
Arthur Brown was secured in the eau
Gus by a trick and in consequence Of
bad faith: that his selection by the
caucus can only be accounted for by
saying that a sort of madness siezed
upon the legislators and they rocked
not Of consequences. Others say that
the election of Mr.. Brown will dis
grace Utah, and will be a humiliation
to decent people. Let Republicans see
to that. None of these things should
move Democrats. and they viii not.
The best way to correct these evils is
not to pull Republicans out of the
holes into which they fall of their own
voIition. and out of the perversity Of
Republican disposition Let them fall
into holes, let them get out as best
they may; and the people will the
sooner turn to that party whose prin-
ciples lead away from disgrace and
dishonor. and whose open methods of
procedure make the 'trickery." bad

senators, they will hear the shouts of
the victors, but there is more honor in
going down to defeat with Joseph L.
Rawlins and Moses Thatcher than be
ing hailed victors with Frank J. Can
non and Arthur Brown. Stand solid
Democrats, for Joe Rawlins and Moses
Thatcher, and the defeat of these men
by such opponents as Cannon and
Brown will create such disgust and
distrust of Republicans and Republi-
can methods in our state that we shall
yet see Utah coming back where of
right she ought to be-in the column
of Democratic states.
