THE OHIO MISTAKE.

Each day it becomes more and more
east are thoroughly disguised with
the straddle of the Ohio Republicans
on the financial question. They see,
as every one sees, that the Ohio finan-
cial plank is all things unto all men.
All this is most encouraging, as it por-
tends there must be an unequivocal
declaration on money in the ST. Louis
platform.
Major Mckinley being a presidential
candidate, with much prestige, and the
Chic convention meeting so early. the
whole country looked to it to fore
shadow what the convention at ST
Louis would do on the money question.
This was but natural. 1t may be that
what the Ohio convention did very ac-
curately foreshadows what will be
done at ST. Louis. Whether it does or
not, certain it is that the Republicans
of the east are demanding something
different from the national conven-.
ton.
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser declares that the Ohio plank is
unhesitatingly condemned by an i'm
mense majority of the sound money
Republicans. and they are dissatisfied
with it because it is so framed that
two radically different interpretations
can be placed upon the language"
1t goes on to say that it is a shield
with a gold side and a silver side;

Sherman in asserting from his point

REPUBLICANS AND SILVER.

1t must not be forgotten that in every
vote in congress on the question of free
coinage for the last thirty years. a
majority of the Democrats voted for
this dangerous fallacy. The Republi-
cans have alone stood firm and fear
less in the defense of the nations hon
or and credit. They will do so again.
No one need have any fear about that

The above is from the New York
Mail and Express, and when it is re-
membered what claims were made
last fall in this state from the stump
to the effect that there was more hope
for silver in the Republican than in the
Democratic party, it must be rather
chilly reading to western Republicans
to hear such talk as this from stalwart
Republican organs.
1t may be said, however, that the
Mail and Express, since it is published
in New York, the very center of the

be said that it does not represent fairly

This is one of those stories about Chaun-

circles, according to the Chicago Chrohl-
Gle:
The president of the Waupaca & Nish-
ma Railroad company went to see the
mild-mannered president of the Wander

asked. letting the smile he uses on such
occasions have full swing on the visitor.

Depew assumed his most cavalier air as
he launched that question at the head of
the president of the Waupaca & Nishna,
and then he waited for a reply.

The circumstances under which church
congregation was dismissed at Sanders,
KY, on recent Sunday afternoon were
peculiarly distressing.
About midway the minister's discourse
there bolted through the half-open door
what appeared to be large black and
white tabby cat, followed by yellow dog.
The pursuit was swift and fierce, and the
hunted animal sought sanctuary under
the preachers pulpit.
That worthy taken unawares, and some
what f1ustered at being. so rudely inter
rupted in the midst of a particularly
pleasant passage, did the natural thing,
under the circumstances, and, raising his
foot, kicked the fury creature up toward
the ceiling After describing a number of
beautiful parabolic curves in midair. the
animal alighted fairly in the center Of
the congregation.
Then it was discovered that there had
been a mistake as to the species of the
cat; it was of the pole variety.
The audience dismissed itself with more
haste than decorum, and it is hoped that
after month or so the building wiz
again be in condition to justify the re-
sumption of divine services.-Cincinnau
Tribune.

ONE LEARNED IN THE LAW.

In the bill which passed the house
yesterday for the revision, codification
and annexation of the laws of the
state, an amendment to the original
bill was offered and finally accepted,
which, to say the very least of it, is
amazing.
In the original bill it was provided
that the governor should appoint
"three persons learned in the law" to
do the work of codification, etc. Mr..
Stevens Of Weber moved to amend
this section so as to make it provide
that one member of the code commits
sion of three should be learned in the
law! The gentleman offered as his
reason for proposing this strange
amendment that he wanted to give
the governor some discretionary pow
ers in the matter! Discretionary power
to do what? Put men unlearned in the
law to do that which requires the
most profound knowledge of the law!
And this wonderful amendment con-
ceived in the master mind of Mr.. Stew
ems when changed to read-"at least
one of whom shall be learned in the
law'.-was accepted and passed by the
house.
The house has already done num-
Der of strange things, and before it
adjourns it may do many more; but
surely this act must be the climax OF
it's absurdities Think of it, A law
creating a code commission having
provision in it saying-"at least one
Of whom shall be learned in the law!"
The work of codificatfon, revision
and annexation of the laws, is a task
requiring the very greatest skill and
knowledge of the lawyer: and if ever
there will be a case where all the mem
bers Of a commission need to be
learned in the law, it is in this COM
mission.
The amendment was dictated by the
prejudice that exists in some quarters
against the profession of the law; and
by the foolish notion that the business
man, the mechanic, or the laborer can
do this kind of work as we'll as those
learned in the law. But gentlemen
make a mistake, while the broad
common sense of a business man. the
general intelligence and perhaps wide
reading of some of our farmers and
mechanics may teach them very much
about what the lawyer knows, such
work as is here proposed calls for the
highest skill and technical knowledge
of the professional, up-to-date lawyer
and not the loose and merely general
information of well-read men following
other pursuits.
Let us hope when the bill reaches
the senate for consideration the orig
inal provision for three persons
learned in the law" will be restored
to it; and let us further hope that the
house will have so far recovered from
its fit of hilarity as to concur in that
senate amendment, that in years to
come it may not be said that the first
state legislature enacted a law ere
ating a code commission to revise, an
notate and codify the laws of the
state-"at least one of whom shall be
learned in the law"

THE STATE SEAL.

The design for the great seal of the
state of Utah has been accepted, at
least by the house, and most likely will
be accepted by the senate and gov
ernor.
An American eagle, defiant-out-
stretched wings and talons clutching
er-bolts-perched above Shield
on which is engraven a beehive, Utah's
famous emblem of industry; and on
either side of the shield the American
flag furled. Each side the beehive is
a sego lily, Utah's emblem flower,
while under the beehive is the sig
nificant date 1S47. Nearer the outer
edge, under this date, and forming part
of the encircling words-"The Great
Seal of the State of Utah''-is that
other significant date 1896.
This will doubtless be the state seal
of Utah; judging from the photograph
of the design brought to The Herald
office last evening it will be satisfac-
tory to the people.
There is, we think. beautiful blend
ing of national and state emblems in
the design, and withal a simplicity
which commends it to good taste.
The design is the work of Mr. Harry
Edwards of this city, and the gentle
man is to be congratulated upon his
success, as it is no light distinction to
be the successful competitor in design
ing the seal of a great commonwealth

of view that it means sound money;
while the silver face. at which the
whole west is looking, gives the adj
vocates of silver the right to put their
own construction upon the elusive word
bimetallism, and the demand for the
use of silver as we'll as gold as stand
ard money. 1t does all that, for all
that it was intended to do. Now what
is to be done in the face of such facts?
According to the Commercial Advertis-
er, this:
The emergency demands measures of
an altogether different type. For the
Republicans to palter and falter with
the money question now would be sui
cidal folly. 1t would be as foolish, as
cowardly and S criminal as it would
have been to evade the burning issue
of slavery extension thirtysix years
ago. The Ohio mistake must be I'M
done. New York, the leader in popula-
ton, commerce, manufactures and
civilization among American common
Wealths, must undo it.
undo the Ohio mistake 1t is in these
words:
We believe that the nations honor
as well as the material interests of our
citizens, demand the maintenance of
national currency, every dollar of
which, whether in gold, silver or paper
notes, shall be of equal value and equal
debt-paying or purchasing power, and
we declare our .unalterable opposition
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. Any imitation of the currency
of the country by degrading the stand
ard of value to the silver basis is dis
tinctly repudiated.
When such demands as these are
made it is strong evidence that there
will be a money issue in the campaign,
and that the battle will not be fought
on protection lines alone. We want
the gold men to unequivocally declare
for gold and the silver men for free
silver. That will present a clean cut
issue to the people, one upon which
they can decide, knowing what they
are doing. There has been no such
clean cut money issue in the past, and
it is time there was one.

THE SALT LAKE HERALD. SATURDAY MARCH q, 1895.

Let US then come further est, to ST.
LOUIS, the city where the NATIONAL Re-
publican convention is to be held.
The Globe-Democrat published in
that city, says of the late action of
the renegade" senators who, in the in
terests of silver. voted against taking
up the house tariff bill, and of the
likelihood of their going to the ST.
Louis convention and taking with them
"a Is to independent, Europe-be-
hanged plank
Just at present the Republican party
is not much interested in what Carter,
Teller and the other three Republican
renegades think or propose. If they APP
pear at the convention as the regularly
chosen representatives of their states
they will be received and be accorded
all the privileges to which delegates
are entitled under the rules governing
such bodies, although their action, of
course. in boiling the party on a vital
question of party policy ought really
10 place them outside the Republican
line and to exclude them from recogni-
ton in distinctly Republican assem-
blages.
But they will not be in the conven-
eiOli uidIly NUTS DSIOTe lney VIII I1lu
that the free silver policy has no
standing in the party. The majority
of the party was always against free
silver, but this majority has been
growing rapidly in the past year or
two, especially in the past few months.
That seven to one Republican vote in
the house of representa- recently
against free silver shows how the party
stands on that issue in 1896.
The silverites will discover that this
is the worst year for them to force a,
fight in the Republican party on the
Is to 1 issue which has come since that
question entered politics. The Repub
iicans can win easily if every electoral
vote of the Rocky Mountain states goes
to the Democracy or to the third
party.
In the old states north of Mason and
DiXon's line and the Ohio and in Min
nesota and Iowa there are 227 electoral
votes, or three more than pa which
make a majority of the electoral col
lege. Every one of these states will go
Republican. The stronger the anti-sil-
Yer deliverance is in the Republican
platform the larger the Republican ma
jority will be in all those states.
This simply means that the great
confidence of the eastern Republicans
to carry enough states to win the cleo
ton is such as will lead them to throw
overheard their western brethren, and
all their demands for the recognition
of free silver, and put their trust for
the victory in the eastern states.

PENsIoNING GOVERNMENT CLERKS.

representative Tawney. of Mime
sofa, has introduced a bill into the
house to create fund to pension gov
eminent clerks. 1t provides that, be-
ginning with July, 1896, per cent of
the salary of every government en-
ployee shall be withheld to form a per
manent fund to be paid to the en-
ployee, with 4 per cent interest added
at the time of his discharge. 1t also
provides that after the year 1900 those
who have been in the classified service
for certain time shall be retired, and
permitted to draw from the fund, so
created, a given percentage of the SAL
airy they may have previously been
paid. While the scheme appears to
have had the endorsement of the civil
service commissioners, still 1t is one
that should not be enacted into law.
It is paternalism pure and simple.
What right has the government to
withhold 2 per cent of the pay of its
employees, or any other amount, to
form a fund to pension them? None
whatever If the government en-
ployees are competent to perform their
work they are also competent to save
enough out of their wages to provide
for a rainy day, as we'll as the gov
eminent is to do it for them. If they
do not wish to save anything, then it
is their right to spend all they earn.
The government has no more business
to tell those who work for it what
thew shall do or not do with the money
they earn than it has to tell them that
they shall go to this or that church
that their souls may be saved. 1t
would seem that the government has
enough to do to manage its own finan-
cial concerns, without undertaking TO
manage those Of its employees.
There is no new idea in this scheme
of Representative Tawney's. A num-
Der of years ago it was a pet scheme of
Prince Bismarck to insure the people
of Germany against want in their old
age. That scheme proposed to form
pension fund the same as Mr.. Taw-
ney's does. But the Germans, used as
they are to paternalism and socialism,
absolutely refused to accept it. Mr..
Tawney's is no better, though of course
limited to government employees. 1t is
a sort of every employee his own pen
sion agent plan, and should 5ot be
enacted into law.
