RosEBERY.s RESIGNATION.

As announced in The Herald yester-
! day morning and by no other paper
in Salt Lake-Lord Rosebery has for
mally resigned the leadership of the
Liberal party. The reason for his alb
dication is stated in his letter to be his
opposition to the views of Mr.. Glad
! stone and considera bic portion of the
party on the eastern question. He an
nounces that he is about to make a
speech on that subject and that it is
necessary for him to do SO, not as a
! leader but as a free man The an
nouncement will cause increased inter
est to attach to the forthcoming
speech, as all the world viii want TO
know wherein the brilliant young lord
differs from the aged statesman who
so long led the party and whose views
still exercise such a controlling infiu-
ence over it.
1t must be borne in mind that Rose
berry won his spurs as the head of the
foreign office. His administration was
brilliant and met with popular ap-
prevail. 1t is said of him that he
started out in life with an ambition to
marry the richest heiress in England,
to win the Derby and to become pre-
mier. He achieved all three purposes,
and it was his career as foreign min
lister that removed all obstacles from
his path to the premiership. And, since
he achieved such a high reputation in
that field. it is Accordingly interesting
to find him resigning the leadership of
his party over a difference between
Gladstone and himself on question of
foreign policy.
Mr.. Gladstone has boldly advocated
vigorous. aggressive policy by the Brit
ish government in the east, and in this
he has been supported by a very consid-
cradle section Of the English people.
The English conscience has been
aroused over the continuing rule of
barbarity by the Turk in Armenia and
there is pronounced demand that the
government of the queen shall cease
dallying with mere questions of policy
and deliver a stroke straight at the
heart of the trouble. This view has
been advanced by Gladstone and his
utterances on the subject have been
vociferously applauded. 1t now remains
TO be seen what the younger leader has
to say on the subject, but it is mani
fest that he proposes to put his reputa-
ton to the test in taking a stand
against the current of popular opinion.

IDAHO POLITICS.

An interesting political situation is
presented in Idaho. At their state con-
ventions the Democrats and Populists
effected fusion under which the
stinctive Democratic year, and many of
of congressman and some of the state
offices were to be given to the Populists
and the rest of the state ticket to the
Democrats. The arrangement was
quite unsatisfactory to a considerable
number of Democrats. These felt that
the important positions of senator and
congressman should not have been
given to the Populists in such a dis
tinctly Democratic year, and many of
them preferred to return Senator Du-
bois in recognition of the work done by
him for silver.
Nor was the fusion satisfactory to
the Democratic and Populist national
committees, both of which desired a
union of all silver forces in Idaho, in
volving the uncontested return of Du-
bois There were two reasons for the
position taken by the national com
mittees: Senator Dubois had figured
prominently in the revolt of the silver
Republicans. AS this had been of
great benefit to the silver cause, the
committees thought he should be re-
elected. Again, the fusion arrangement
designed to shut him out was having
a bad effect among silver Republicans
in the central west, who were disposed
to resent such action on the part of
those whose national ticket they were
supporting.
When the Republicans met in con-
vention the silver men and the McKin-
ley men organized separately. The lat
ter put a straight-out Mckinley ticket
in the field. The silver wing named a
ticket composed partly of the Demo-

JEFFERSON ON THE RATIO.

The present campaign, with it's para
mount issue of free silver. is one in
which the influence of authority in
matters of opinion is constantly being
invoked by all parties. Those who
oppose free silver and favor the single
gold standard seem never to tire Of
quoting this from Thomas Jefferson:
Just principles will lead us to dis
card legal proportions altogether, and
to inquire into the market price of gold
IN the several countries with which we
shall be connected in commerce, and
take an average from them"
The latest paper to quote this is the
Philadelphia Record. 1t was certainly
a proper thing to find out the price Of
gold and silver in the countries with
which the United States were trading,
because at that time there had been no
demonstration of silver, and because
the generally accepted legal ratio was
the same as the commercial ratio. Then
there was always a market for all the.
silver produced and it was eminentiy
proper that the price of the metals be
ascertained.
Nothing could be more absurd in the
world than TO take the commercial
ratio of silver now as the legal ratio. it
would be to ignore the most important
factor in the whole problem. Remone-
tie silver and let the law of supply
and demand have free play, and then
it Will be found that the legal and
commercial ratios will be the same.
This will be SO for the reason that the
commercial price will always be thai
which is paid in the highest market,
which, of course, under free coinage
would be the mint price.
The gold men having developed such
a high regard for Jefferson's opinions,
and they are worthy of everybody's
regard, we commend to their consider
alton what he wrote to Hamilton when
returning his report on the establish
ment of a mint.
With respect to the dollar" said
Jefferson. 'it must be admitted by all
the world that there is great uncer-
tainty in the meaning of the term, and
therefore all the world will have justi-
fed congress for their first act of re-
moving the uncertainty by declaring
what they understood by the term, but
the uncertainty once removed, exists
no longer, and 1 very much doubt a
right now to change the value, and
especially to lessen it. 1t would lead
to so easy a mode of paying off their
debts. Besides, the parties injured by
this reduction of the value would
have so much matter to urge
in support of the first point
of fxation. Should it be thought,
however, that congress may reduce the
value of the dollar, L should be for
adopting for our unit, instead of the
dollar, EITHER ONE OUNCE OF
PURE SILVER, OR ONE OUNCE OF /
STANDARD SILVER, so as to keep
the unit of money part of the system
OF measures, weights and coins"
That makes it perfectly plain that /
Jefferson favored silver as the unit of (
value, which means that where the /
coinage and the commercial ratios of (
silver and gold vary. that the silver /
and not the gold shall be the perma-
nent and unvarying unit Hence if 1
gold appreciated and it became neces-
sary to re-adjust the ratio. the gold in
a dollar would be reduced rather than
the silver in a dollar should be in
creased.

opinion. The result depends entirely
upon which side is correct.
1t is apparent that the Democratic
managers are absolutely confident that
the masses will vote for Bryan. Much
information coming from eastern points
Through private letters indicates that
this confidence on the part of the Dem
ocratfc committee is well founded, but
much more satisfactory light is being
OF a St Louis paper, the Republic. 1t
has sent staff correspondent into
Illinois to learn how the working
classes intend to vote. His first letter
is from East ST. Louis, and it makes a
showing that is most encouraging.
The first experience of the correspond
emit was with party of railroad men
in saloon. AS he entered he over
heard them discussing politics with the
bartender, catching enough of what
they said to satisfy him they were for
Bryan. When ne approached them they
eyed him suspiciously. He remarked
that he judged from their conversation
that they were Bryan men, whereupon
they stated positively that he was mis-.
taken, that they would all vote for
Mckinley To emphasize their asser-
ton they threw open their coats as
they filed out, displaying Mckinley but
tons pinned on Their vests. The CORE
spondent afterward talked with the
barkeeper, and the latter told him
he had been taken for a railroad
spotter; that the men were for Bryan,
but dared not let their position be
known.
An effort to get at the intentions of
the employees of a large packing house
disclosed the fact that the men would
almost uniformly answer they were for
Mckinley; but the correspondents had
friend in the establishment who in
formed him there was no doubt that
four hundred of the five hundred votes
in the place would be cast for Bryan.
A teamster, who rejoiced in the fact
that his boss was a Bryan man and that
he could utter his sentiments without
fear of discharge, told the newspaper
man that the workingmen with whom
he came in contact were almost unani-
nous for Bryan, though, as a rule, they
did not discuss politics, permitting
themselves to be counted for Mckinley.
And such was tine tenor of all the
information secured by the correspond
ent- Workingmen were wearing Me
Kinley badges; they were permitting
themselves to be hauled about to differ
ent points to attend Mckinley meetings:
but quiet purpose was found in all
quarters to vote for the Democratic
candidate
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
correspondent is doing his work fairly.
the Republic edgtorially vouching foc he
accuracy of his reports, and the result
of his Investigations is therefore most
encouraging. It indicates that the ma
tional committee bases it's confidence
upon accurate information respecting
the sentiments of the working classes.
1t does not prove the point, however
and should not be viewed in any other
light than as a hopeful sign, squirting
the supporters of Mr.. Bryan to Still
more vigorous and determined action.

1t is not impossible that meeting
on the field of honor may be arranged

not sure that this IS not merely one of

Here is bit of political wisdom from
the St Louis Globe-Democrat: 1.-THE
fact that the Mormon church is one of
the chief promoters and soropagandists
of the Bryan cause will not commend
the free silver idea to the esteem of
people who believe in maintaining a
parity between the sexes in domestic
affairs. The Mormons own some of
the richest silver properties in the
world. and their pecuniary interest in
the is to / craze is very great. They
