RESTORATION OF poLYeAMY.

The Kansas City Star. discussing the
Utah situation, says that one who
doubts the sincerity of the Mormon
leaders declares ''Lt will be easily pos
sible for the church to secure the
legislature and the governorship, and
when that has been effected what is to
prevent the submission of an amend
ment to the state constitution legaliz-
ing polygamy?"
Upon this the Star comments as fol-
lows:
To Gentiles who live in Utah and
who are more familiar with the nature
and habits of the Mormon church
rulers than outsiders, there may seem
a real danger of the kind set forth. but
in the minds of the people of the
country at large there seems no more
probability of the establishment OF
polygamy by constitutional enactment
in state of this Union than of the es-
tablishment of the worship OF idols
and of human sacrifices upon Ameri-
can affairs.
We question very much whether
there are very many Gentiles in Utah
who apprehend that under any circum--
stances the restoration OF the practice
of polygamy is possible. No one who
has lived in Utah long enough to
have become what is termed an old in

THE MAYORS VETO SUSTAINED.

By a. vote of 5 tc the city council
has sustained Mayor Glendinning's
veto of the street lighting contract.
it requiring two-thirds to override
veto. The mayor is to be congratu-
lated. as are also the five councilmen
and the public.
In its contest with the electric light
company the city council has made a
gallant fight for the rights and interest
of the people, and they have won. The
people appreciate all that the members
of the council have done in this res
pect, realizing that it was in the pub
lie interest And in sustaining the
mayors veto they have given new evil
dence Of their desire to economic and
make the burdens upon the taxpayers
as light as possible. 1t was because
the people knew this that they have
so cheerfully endured the great incon-
venience OF going without street light
ing for several weeks, and will as
cheerfully go without street lighting
for some little while longer to secure
what are their rights.
In almost all the cities of the Union
the gas and electric light companies
have dictated what the terms for street
lighting should be. The reason for it
has been that they have owned the
city councils. and no other reason. The
contest waged by the mayor and coun-
Gil against the electric light company
is ample proof that such is not the case
in Salt Lake city
A contract for lighting the streets
that viii be advantageous to the city
and profitable to the electric light COM
pany can no doubt be made, and should
be as soon as possible. When made it
should not be for a period longer than
one year. At the end of that time it is
altogether probable that much better
and cheaper light can be had than the
electric light company can now fur
nish. The account in this mornings
dispatches of Edison's new light shows
this to be the case. The city should
be in position to take advantage of
competition and scientific discoveries

NOTHING LIKE THESE WANTED.

All the people are most anxious TO
know what kind Of money planks will
be adopted at ST Louis and at Chi
cago. The probabilities are that at
st. Louis a gold plank will be adopted,
while silver plank will be adopted at
Chicago.
In 1892 the Republican convention,
which met at Minneapolis June Z,
adopted this financial plank:
The American people, from tradition
and interest, favor bimetallism, and
the Republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money, with such restrictions and un-
der such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the MAIN
tenance of the parity of values of the
two metals, so that the purchasing and
debu-paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper, shall
be at all times equal. The interests of
the producers of the country, its farm
ers and its workingmen, demand that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by
the government, shall be as good as
any other. We commend the wise and
patriotic steps already taken by our
government TO secure an international
conference to adopt such measures as
gold and silver for use as money
throughout the world.
The Democratic convention met at
Chicago June q, and adopted the fol-
lowing money plank:
We denounce the Republican legis-
lation known as the Sherman act of
1890 as a cowardly makeshift, fraught
with possibilities of danger in the fu-
ture which should make all of it's sup
porters, as we'll as it's author, anxious
for its speedy repeal. We hold to the
use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country, and to
the coinage of both gold and silver,
without discriminating against either
metal or charge for mintage; but the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals
must be Of equal intrinsic and ex-
changable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
Insure the maintenance of the parity
of the two metals, and the equal power
of every dollar at all times in the mar
kets, and in payment of debt; and
we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redeem
able in such coin. We insist upon this
policy as especially necessary for the
protection of the farmers and the la
boring classes, the first and most de-
fenseless victims of unstable money
and a fluctuating currency.
The qualifications in either of these
pIanks were such as to make them
practically declarations in favor of the
gold standard; they were straddles
which could be made to mean one
thing or the other as might be deemed
advisable.
Nothing like them is wanted this
year, for they would in no sense meet
the issue or satisfy the people.

TIE DEMOCRATIC STATE coNvEN-
TION.

Saturday the Democratic state con-
vention meets in this city. The work
1t will have to perform is not much but
win be vastly important. 1t will adopt
a platform of principles and elect six
delegates to the Democratic national
convention. The platform will declare
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l. 1t will
reaffirm the fundamental principles of
the Democratic party, and the Chicago
platform of 1892 on the tariff question.
This is not all that it should do. In
brief and unmistakable terms it should
reaffirm the principles of the recon-
vened convention, and further declare
that the claim by the dominant church
in Utah of the right to say which of its
members may and which may not en-
gage in politics, is un-Democratic, I'M
American and endangers the peace and
happiness of the state, and if persisted
in will make the sole issue in Utah the
domination of the state by the church.

YET A LITTLE WHILE.

There are a hundred subtle stings
To prick us in our daily walk;
A young fruit cankered on its stalk,
A strong bird shared for all his wings,
a nest that sang but never sings;
Yea sight and sound and silence stings.
There is lack in solitude,
There is a load in throng of life;
One with another genders strife,
To be alone yet is not good
l know but of one neighborhood
At peace and full-death's solitude.
Sleep soundly. dears, who lulled at last
Forget the bird and all her pains,
Forget the moon that wakes, wanes,
The leaf, the sting, the frostful blast:
Forget the troublous years that, passed
In strife or ache. did end at last

MARTYRDOM OF MONTMORENCI
AVERY.

The Weverwend Arthur Murway Gween,
They say is verwy cievah:
And Sister Wurth could heah him pweach,
Eoheveh and fohevah
And l went down to heah him pweach,
With Wuth and my Annette,
Upon the bwave, hewoic deaths
The ancient mawtals met;
And as he wepWesented them,
In all their acts and feachaWS,
The ancient mawtahS, dontcherknow,
Were doocid cievah cWeachaws.
But, aw, deah mel They don't compah
In twue heWoic bwaVewy,
To a bWave heWo fWiend of mine,
Young Montmowenci Averwy
He earned foah dollahS every week,
And not anothah coppah;
But this bwave soul wesolved to dwess
Pwe-eminently pwoppah;
So this was all the food each day
The bwave young cweature had
One CLAWS of milk, a cigawette,
Foah cwackers and some bwead
He lived on foahteen cents day.
And cherwished one gweat passion;
The pwecious pwoject of his SOUL
OF being dwessed in fashion.
But when he'd earned a suit entiah,
To his supweme chagwin,
Just then did shawt-tailed coats go out
And long-tailed coats come in,
But naught could bweak his wigid will,
And now, l pway you, note,
That he gave up his CLAWS of milk
And bought a long-tailed coat
But then the fashion changed once noah,
And bwought gwievous plight;
1t changed from twousers that are loose
To TROUSERS that are tight.
Then his foah cwackers he gave up,
He just wenounced their use;
And changed to TROUSERS that are tight,
From TROUSERS that are loose,
And then the narrow-toed style shoes
TO bwoad-toed changed instead,
Then he pwocured a bwoad-toed pair,
And gave up eating bwead.
Just then the bwoad-bWimmed style of hat
To narrow bwims gave way;
And so his twibulations gwew,
1ncWeasing every day.
But he pwocured narwow bwim,
OF vewy stylish set;
But, bwave, bwave soull He had to drop
His pwecious cigaWette.
But now when his whole suit confohmed
To fashions regulation,
For lack of cwackers, milk and bwead,
He perwished of starvation.
Thus in his owah of victory,
He passed on to his west
l WEAKLY nevah saw cawpse
So fashionably dwessed.
My tears above his Well-dWessed clay
Fell like the spwingtime wains;
My eyes had nevah vested on
Such pwopah dwessed wemains.
The ancient mawtahs-they were gwand
And glowious in their day;
But this bwave Montmowenci was
AS gweat and gwand as they.

We think it very clear that President
Cleveland has the right of it in de-
clining to approve bills that provide
pensions for soldiers widows who re-
marry. This remarriage certainly
frees the government from any obli-
cation to the woman as soldiers wi
dow, and II is impossible to again es-
tablish such obligation in her behalf.
When the president is right, as in this
case, it is the duty of the press to
openly approve his acts
So says our morning contemporary,
the Tribune. The view it takes OF the
case is undoubtedly the proper one,
but it is a view too seldom taken by
Republican papers. There is nothing
more absurd in our American poll
