GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES IN pol
ETICS.

A Washington special to the Louis
vile Courier journal states that the ad
minisfration Of Mr.. Cleveland will do
all in its power to promote the sue
cess of the Indianapolis ticket. The
same dispatch also says that so soon
as Mr.. Carlisle returns from Bar
Harbor he will probably give some at
tention to party duty, and that 1T IS
not unlikely that during October he
will make several speeches in favor
of the indianapolis platform and ticket.
If Secretary Carlisle may participate
in politics give attention to party duty
and make speeches in favor of the
Indianapolis platform and ticket, it is
a proper and pertinent question to ask
why Mr. Carlisle's subordinates in the
treasury Departments may not do the
same thing? Within fortnight the
country has seen an order promulgated
forbidding government employees
making campaign contributions upon
pain of dismissal. During the same
period it has seen various government
employees participating in a conven-
ton at Indianapolis. Does any one be-
lieve that if other government en-
ployees OF the same relative position
as Eckels and Irish had been as active
in behalf of Mr.. Bryan as they have
been against him that it would not
have cost them their heads? What
the people are wanting to know is if
Eckels, Irish and others in prominent
government positions have any greater
rights than those American citizens
of less prominence? 1t looks very
much as though the administration re-
garded man holding gold views as
having greater rights than those hold
ing silver views. If participation
in politics is good for the goose. why
is it not good for the gander?

A TRIBUTE TO BRYAN.

Party papers are expected TO pay
tributes to their party's presidential
candidate, and often the tributes lose
much of their worth because of this
fact. But when an Independent, non
partisan paper, a paper that is not de
voted to politics, pays a tribute to a
presidential candidate. it does so be-
cause of its appreciation of the candi-
dates merits. Such a tribute our even
ing contemporary, the Deseret News,
pays to Mr. Bryan. The article in
which this is done is made its leader
in its issue of yesterday. 1t is so just
and appreciafive that we reproduce it.
1t is entitled Brave Billy Bryan"
Making all allowances for the color
ing to suit western readers which the
press dispatches may have impaired TO
their reports of NJ. BIyan's tour in the
east, the fact remains that that dis
tinguished gentleman returns to his
home state today after one of the most
phenomenally successful electioneel-
ing feats ever performed in American
politics. Friend and foe will have to
admit that he has conducted himself
with admirable propriety, and that his
uttferances have been marked at all
times by singular discretion and pat
riotism. He has grown amazingly in
popular estimation, and without es-
tranging any element Of his own fol-
lowing. he has won many thousands of
lukewa1m friends and even opponents
to his ardent support. He has proven
himself ADLER and bigger than almost
any one believed him to be, and his
courage. logic and dignity have exacted
from opponents a degree of considera-
ton that could never have been de-
served by a mere demagogue. He has
fairly won his spurs in gallant contest,
and has given the champions of the
opposition many a thrust that has set
their old bones to rafting. Whether
he wins or loses the splendid prize for
which he is striving, he at least has
extorted the respect of all classes, and
has bravely set pace. as a cam
paigner which it will bother the swift
est of them to keep up with.

THE ARkAxsAs ELECTION.

The Republicans and advocates of the
gold standard made much of the Yer
mont election. This was perfectly nat
ural. New comes the Arkansas cleo
ton, and the result entities the Dem
ocra1s and advocates Of free silver to
make much CT T. 1t is an offset to the
Vernon electice. Too much impor-
lance has been claimed for the Yer
mont election; in all probability too
much VIII be claimed for the Arkansas
election.
In 1884 Woodbury., Republican candi-
dare Tor governor Of Vermont, polled
42,66S votes. which was 1888 per cent
of the toeai vote cast. His plurality was
2S,52l. In 1892 Harrison, Republican
candidate for president, polled 1892
votes, which was 6S.l2 per cent OF the
total vote csst. This year Circuit ma
jority is 50 O9e. That is unprecedented.
How was it in Arkansas? In 1894
Clarke, Democratic nominee for gov
ernor. received 1909 votes, or 5S12 per
cent Of the total vote polled. His pIu-
rality was 1924 In 1892 Cleveland,
Democratic candidate for president, re-
ceived 1854 votes. or $3.50 per cent Of
the total vote polled. His plurality was
40,95O This year Jones, Democratic
candidate Tor governor, has $4,000 to
10000 majority. Remnel, the Republ-
can gubernatorial candidate. this year
receives about 10000 votes. whereas two
years ago. when he was a candidate for
the same office. his vote was only 26,OS5.
Bur that year the combined Peoples
and Prohibition vote was 26,O92, while
this year il is bun 1900. From this it
is evident that the Republican acces-
sions have come from the Peoples and
Prohibition parties, the balance OF the
increase being about a natural one. If
Jones majority this year is taken at
10000. the increase of his majority over
Clarkes plurality is something over
q. 900 Relatively it is not quite so
great as the increase in CIRCUITS ma
jority over Woodbury's plurality.
What conclusions can be deduced
from all this? Simply these: that the
people are deeply interested in the
paramount issue of the campaign,
which is the financial question, and
that in a state where the gold senti-
ment was already dominant it has in
creased in strength. while in a stare
where the free coinage of silver sen
tisnent was already dominant it has
increased in strength: that is ALL

cAN NOR BE RouGHr.

The campaign has narrowed down
to a fight between principle and money
caste. 1t is no secret that Mr. McKirl-
ley's campaign managers have raised
large corruption fund and are distrib-
uting money with a lavish hand. 1t is
reported. and the reports come from
sources presumably reliable. that large
sums of money have been shipped to
South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, III
inois and Michigan with view to cap
turing the electoral votes of these
states for Mckinley. It is even stated
that Utah is considered fighting ground
and is likely Cf it has not already to
receive a stimulating slice Of the cor
ruption fund. The battle is clearly one
of the masses against the ciasses-of
principle against vote-buying and spoil
iation. Fortunately the merchantable
vote constitutes but a small per cent
of the total Money may be used with
force and effect in the large cities,
where the floating vote is a potent fac
tor, bun there its influence ends and the
sovereignty of principle begins. Ad-
hitting that money literally used at
the polls in a degree influences results.
still there is consolation in knowing
that only small per cent of the vote
can be manipulated in this way. Mr..
McKinley's managers may go ahead
with their campaign of intimidation
and corruption. Advantages gained in
this way are impotent and unendur-
ing. Some voters may be led astray,

the occasion were not transgressed in
the least
What he had to say about labor being
the true source of all capital was true,
and it was said without any attempt
20 f1atter his hearers. a notable thing
about the whole speech was the utter
absence or attempt to fatter the labor
ing man and tickle his vanity.
His remarks upon, our government
and why it is the best form were very
happy. The laws of our country are
no better observed than those Of other
civilized nations, perhaps not so rigid
~ enforced, but their merit is that they
are the peoples laws for their own gov
eminent; they are the embodiment of
their thought and ideals; they may not
represent the best thought and the
highest ideals, but the average thought
and ideal. That is their strength in a
free government. Perhaps the very
highest merit of our form of govern
ment is that the people always have
the power to change laws whenever
they cease to conform to the conditions
and desires of the people. This power
permits them TO reform these laws and
institutions that may have become an
tiquated without any resort to revolu-
ton.
What Mr.. Bryan had to say about
the ballot and its use shows him TO be
a patriot OF high order. His remarks
on this subject were worthy of any of
those VINO have held the high Office for
which he is q candidate. Only the bin
ter, blinded partisan wiz have any thing
to say against his Labor day speech,
while all who are able to judge Of its
real worth will pronounce it a very
able effort and worthy OF amy man.

We are drinking the wine of the ages,
From cups that are trimming over
With the sweet of a honey uIhbought with
money,
Distilled from the heart of the clover.
The flowers afringe on the wayside
Arc in raiment of purple and gold;
To the rougb-hewn edge of the Old stone
ledge
- c-nglng brier-vines hold.
We are breaking lifes fine elixir
In the watt of the perfumed breeze,
The sudden showers, the sunlit hours,
The rustic of leaves on the trees.
The fathomless blue of the heaven,
The beauty and bloom of the day,
Are making US young-they are waking
the tongue
OF the years that have passed away.
It's the radiant rare September,
With the clusters ripe on the vine,
With scents that mingle in spicy Jingle
On the hill slopes glimmering line.
And summers step behind us,
And autumn's a thought before,
And each fleet sweet day that We meet
on the way
Is an angel at the door.

Healthy. Happx Children

Are those whose mothers have been,
and are healthy. The best inten-
toned woman in the world will fall
short o. her duty to her children if she
is worried and wearied with weakness
and sickness. Most all irritable women
are sick women. Most all melancholy,
listless, languid women are sick wo-
men. Every woman who will take the
trouble to notice, will find that at GER
tain fixed periods she is nervous, cross,
irritable and Respondent. Any irreg-
ulaIity makes the conditions worse
Even a we'll woman is less amiable
than usual at these times. What can
be expected from a. sick woman? When
every moment is a. weary drag, when
the nerves are all on edge in synpa-
thy with the particular ones affected
when it seems that death were very
much preferable to living-what can a
woman do for children then?
1t is every woman's duty to be well
and healthy. There is no reason why
she should be otherwise, if only she
will take proper care of herself and

tion when she needs it. This celebrated

precaution against it. Nor is it less
useful as a remedy where intermittent
and remittent fever has fully estab-

ease even in its most inveterate form.
This medicine is an especial boon 10
