THE SENATE DEBATE.

The debate in the senate on We'd
nesday reported in our dispatches
of yesterday, was evidently very ami
mated affair. 1t came about through
the explanation made by Senator Car
ter of Montana on the vote of him
self and three other western Repub-
lican senators against taking up the
tariff bill on the 18th inst, In the main
it was a debate among Republicans.
1t was western VS.. eastern Republi-
cans, and would have been wholly so
but for the part Senator Allen of Ne
braska, a Populist, took in the dis
cussfon, which for a time gave it the
appearance of a three-cornered fight.
Judging from the discussion both east
ern and western Republicans are be-
coming very earnest over the money
question, and if the Republicans had
any following worthy of the name out
side of the Rocky Mountain states,
the prospect is that something would
be done for silver, or there would be a
very serious split in the party; but as
the Republicans outside of the Rocky
Mountain states are solid for the single
gold standard, and being over conf
dent of success this year, the east will
yield nothing, and the western Repub-
lican states, with possibly one or at
most two exceptions. viii fall into line,
preferring to lose silver than to go
out of the party.
Mr.. Carriers speech was drawn on
the lines that protection and free coin
age go together; that the Minneapolis
platform pledged to the country BIZ
metallism as well as protection, and
that these western Republicans who
had voted against the tariff on the
18th inst. were simply insisting that
both pledges should be kept. at is
high time" said Mr.. Carter in conclud-
ing his speech, that Republicans who
claim to be with the party should take
their cues from the party platform,
rather than from the White House.
If it shall occur that this senseless
crusade against Republicans who be-
lieve in good faith in the Minneapolis
platform, when 1t declared for bimetal-
lism as we'll as protection, shall be
carried to such an extent as may result
in the adoption of President Cleve-
lands scheme by the st. Louis conven-
ton, submit that Republican sue
cess will be rendered utterly impossi-
bic. II the platform Of 1896 announces
to the country in conjunction with the
action Of representatives bearing on
the two conventions that the plank on
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-28

bimetallism adopted at Minneapolis
was a delusion, a fraud and a snare,
it would be just as wen for the Repub-
lican party not to make a nomination
at st. Louis a ALL.
Il ask that senator" said Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, whether we
are to understand him to say that if
he fails to convince his Republican as
sociates, he then proposes to say to
us, you shall not pass any protective
tariff bill unless you surrender your
convictions to u.s. If protective tar
iff bin is hereafter presented, fair and
just, on wool, lead ore, fruit and the
various industries of the west, does
the senator mean to say that he will
not let that bill pass unless we sur
render our convictions to him?"
That was bringing the matter right
home to a test, and the answer OF Sem
ator Garter makes it clear that there
will be no split in the Republican
convention over silver, for he is repre-
scented by the dispatches to have said
that "The Republicans of the west,
who construe the platform of 1892 as
favorable to silver would be the last
to desert the ship, and that if others
who take different view of the ques-
ton should find it incumbent upon
them to leave the vessel, the western
men would gaze with sorrow upon the
sad spectacle"
That means that neither class, in
ha &c
leave the convention, and there is no
question but what that will be the pre-
vailing opinion among western Repub-
licans. While it may be that here and
there individual Republicans in the
west will sever their connection with
the Republican party, because of its at
titude on silver, in the main they will
stay with the party in the hope that
something may be done inside of party
lines. Silver will not split the Republi-
can party.
AS to the hope that some have that
the silver men in the Republican party
will be able to force free coinage by
refusing to cooperate with Eastern
Republicans in passing protective Leg
islatton. that is as groundless as any
hope can be. 1t may make a show of
strength now that there is no chance
of getting tariff legislation past the
presidents veto, but with a Republican
in the White House and an opportunity
of getting protective tariff on wool,
lead ore, and other industries of
the West, the chances are as a hun
dred to one that the Western senators,
excepting Mr.. Teller. would see the
line Of duty as Senator Brown of Utah
now sees it, that is being pow
erless to force the East to free coin
age legislation, they would join with
the East in passing a protective
tariff without consideration of silver,
accepting the so-called protection to
Western industries as compensation
for their assistance in the matter, and
acting upon the theory that even half
a loaf is better than no bread.
View It from what standpoint you
will, there is no hope for the restora-
ton of silver to it's place in our none
tary system by any action of the Re-
publican party.

GOLD sTYLE.v


a correspondent writes The Herald
as follows:
George Washington, descended from
the distinguished family of the
WeSsyngtons in England, was born in
WeStmorland county, Virginia, on the
18th day of February (old Style, 1882.
What is meant by 'old style?"
The "old style" follows the Julian
manner of computing the months and
days, or the calendar as established by
Julius Caesar, in which every fourth
year consists of 266 days, and the other
years Of 365 days. says Webster. This
is about II minutes in year too much.
Pope Gregory XIII. reformed the
calendar by retrenching 10 days In Oc-
tober, 1882, in order to bring back the
vernal equinox to the same day as at
the time of the Council of Nice, A. D,
S25. This reformation was adopted by
act of the British parliament, 1751, by
which act II days in September, 1852,
were retrenched, and the third day was
reckoned the fourteenth. This mode of
reckoning is called new style,' ac-
cording to which every year Invisible
by 4, unless Invisible by 100 without
being Invisible by 400, has S66 days,
and any other year 365 days.

from this how Washington's birthday

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLT
TION.

One Of the noblest things men can
engage in is to engender patriotic sen
timents in the hearts of the youth of
country; and beyond all questioning
one of the most effectual means of
accomplishing that end is by perpet-
uating the recollection of the brave
deeds, noble principles, and exalted
characters of our ancestors-especial-
ly where they are fathers Of the coun-
try-founders of great government.
1t is because of its being de-
voted to these worthy purposes
that we confess such a high regard
for the association known as the So
ciety of the Sons of the American
Revolution, a society made up of those
whose ancestors were in some way or
other connected with that splendid
event which gave birth to the great
American Republic.
The Utah branch of this patriotic So
ciety, at its meeting last night, in adj
dition to choosing Mr.. Nat NJ. Brigham
for it's president and MI. Edward H.
Scott for secretary, adopted measures
which we think are admirably adapted
for carrying out the chief purpose of
the society-namely, perpetuating the
memory Of the founders of our gov
eminent and intensifying American pa
triotism in the generation which is to
follow US. To this end the society
offers a prize of twenty-five dollars, to
be accompanied by q suitable certif-
cate from the society, for the best es-
say upon one of the following subjects
connected with the war of the Ameri-
can Revolution, to be competed for by
the students of the high schools, acad-
emies and preparatory schools of like
grade throughout the state of Utah.
The subjects to be written upon are:
d "The Real Causes of the Ameri-
can Revolution"
(2) 1.-THE Opening Battles of the Rev
olution, Lexington. Concord and Bun
ker HiI.''
90 THE Services Of Benjamin Frank
lin in the Revolution"
The essays are to be submitted on
or before May LIST. Particulars as to
the conditions of the contest will short
ly be sent to the principals of such
schools as are above named, or will
be furnished to such principals upon
application to the secretary of the so
ciety, Edward H. Scott, Salt Lake City.
That effort to awaken the interest
of our youth in those subjects ought
to be ably seconded by both parents
and teachers, and every pains taken to
engage them in the friendly contest.
1t will lead to a vast amount of re-
search and do good in a hundred
ways.

THE PosToFF1CE.


The time approaches when bids will
be closed by the proper general gov
ernment officers for a location for the
Salt Lake City postoffice; and, as
was expected, efforts are being
made to move it here or move it there,
according as owners of buildings and
people in the different localities think
they will be benefited by securing it.
1t should be remembered, however,
that primarily a postof1ce is for the
public convenience, the general well
fare, and not to contribute to the
booming Of any particular street or
district of the city; and for the public
convenience 1t would be extremely
difficult to find place more suitable
than that where it is now situated, the
Dooly block. There is not a more
noted or handsomer building in all
Salt Lake than that where the post
Office is now established; and surely
there is no building in the city that
could afford better facilities for the
business of the Office. It is convenient
ly near the business centre of town,
and likewise convenient to the rail-
roads. It is near the chamber of COM
merce, and is so we'll known and sup
lied with all conveniences that it ought
not to be moved.
Another thing we would suggest is
that we hope the time is not far dis
tant when Salt Lake City will secure a
general government building for the
postofice and the United States court
rooms, ETC., and until that building is
erected, and we are confident 1T will
be erected within the next three or
four years, the postoffiee should re
main where it is now, undisturbed by
the agitation attendant upon its re
moval.
