NO THIRD PARTY.

At times during the past year there
has been talk of the formation of
third or silver party. 1t was prompted,
of course, by the thought that perhaps
neither OF the great political parties
would declare for free silver. that in
fact both would be against it. 1t was
known that this would be the position
of the Republican party, ard it seemed
as though it might be that of the Dem
ocratic party, especially SO long as Mr.
Cleveland was debating it's financial
policy, and it appeared possible that he
would be able to dictate the financial
plank to be inserted in the Democratic
national platform. How slight was the
hold of Mr.. Cleveland upon his party
was shown when he abandoned the
party's time honored policy of true BIZ
metahism, the free coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio Of 16 to 1. Now
no ONE thinks for a moment that the
Democratic national convention will de.
clare for anything but the free coinage
of silver. Every effort that the gold
men in the Democratic party, led by
Mr.. Cleveland, could make has been put
forth TO win the various Democratic
state conventions to the gold standard
and has signally failed. The conse-
quence is that the Democratic party
stands forth today as the champion OF
free silver. What possible need, then
could there be fer third party to
further the interests of silver?
This is recognized by those who have
advocated a third party. A gentleman
whose whole soul is wrapped up in the
silver cause and who has been in ia
vor of a third party to work for the
. restoCa ton of silver to its true place
in our monetary system, writes from
Washington to a gentleman in this city
as follows:
1t seems to be conceded on all sides
that the Democrats at Chicago vii
make clear declaration in favor of
restoring the free coinage Of silver, and
will nominate a, solid silver ticket. II
this is done. there viii be, of course
no room and no occasion for another
silver ticket. 1t would be suicidal ir
that event to divide our forces.
The growth of the silver sentiment
has been almost marvellous in the last

such a ticket as I have indicated. anG
a union CT the silver forces. president
in favor of restoring the free coinage
OF silver can be elected this year.
That states the case as it is. With
Democratic silver ticket in the field,
to place another silver ticket in the
fed would divide the silver forces and
be suicidal The only true policy for
the friends Of silver is for them tc
unite on the ticket that VIII be nonin-
ated at Chicago. That will meet every
necessity of the case, and in place of a
new and necessarily not well organized
party there will be the great and per-
feet organization of the Democratic
party to carry forward the fight for
free silver. Only those VINO wish to de-
feat free coinage viii advocate a third
party.

NovELrsrs AND JOURNALISTS.

Some time ago Mr.. Richard Harding
liable reputation as a writer of
short stories and sketches made some
remarks about the days when he was
a newspaper reporter, and how he
wished to forget them. He spoke OF
those days in anything but a conpli-
mentary manner and rather sneered at
the newspaper profession. The news
paper men, having a. much larger au-
dience than Mr.. Davis have been fully
revengsd upon aim by the many quips
they have made about him. Our in
tention is not 20 say nything derog-
atory of Mr. Davis, for we have en-
joyed some of his sketches immensely
and hope to enjoy mora of them, but
to give the views of another and more
distinguished novelist than he is. what
ever he may become. This novelist is
William Black. He was a journalist
befors he was a novelist. 1t is true he
was not a reporter. Asked If he. con-
si6ered journalism to have been a
good training for his subsequent
career. he replied: "E don't know that

the making of a novelist, in that it

are now quite q. remarkable group of
novelists who have been Journalists.
But journalism itself has undergone a
remarkable change since worked in

DIR. MILLsPAUGH's ADDRESS ON
EDUCATION.


The address of Superintendent of
Schools Millspaugh to the graduating
class of the high school was an able
and thoughtfui one in every way.
Those to whom it was delivered should
study it well, as well as they did the
subject of graduating essays.
When Dr. Millspaugh remarked that
'the great tendency of modern educa-
ton, especially in America. is haste for
results, and those only of a material
kind" he noted a fac. that is patent to
all who are observers. He might have
added further that too much of our
education has for its object show and
display without any depth. In fact he
seems to have had some such idea in
mind when he said, speaking of those
who seek admission to technical and
professional schools, and the taking OF
short roads and bypaths thereto, the
result of this unfortunate practice is
that we SO often have frivolous accom-
plishments in society, practical illite-
racy in nom professional life, incompe-
tent instructors to teach our children,
and half-trained men to plead our
causes and heal the diseases and lead
the thinking of the people. That
which today hampers our American
colleges and universities and retards
the progress of true higher education,
is insufficient preparation of the ma
jority of those who enter them. They
have the information necessary for
entrance but net the education. Their
minds are undisciplined.
What the doctor had to say regarding
higher education was very appropriate
and timely. He would not urge higher
education upon all Some, he said, by
natural equipment are best fitted for
physical labor, others for business
careers, and still others have capacities
which designate them for some sphere
Of mental activity; while untold num-
bers are today making failures of life
because they do not pay attention to
these distinctions. And while many
are fitted for a higher education many
make a fatal error in choosing what
that higher education shall be- 1t is
a common remark that very large
proportion Of college men are failures
in life. 1t is true. Many Of them are

PAYNE's PLAN.

National Committeeman Payne will
present to the Republican national
committee resolution providing for a,
different representation in Republican
national conventions in future. His
resolution reads:
Resolved, That the national commit
tee recommend to the convention that
hereafter the basis of representation of
the several states shall be fixed at four
delegates at large and one additional
delegate for each 1000 votes or MAJOR
ity fraction thereof cast in each sta te
for the Republican electoral ticket at
the last preceding election, and that
each territory and the district of Co
lumbia be entitled to six delegates
There is a good deal of merit in the
plan. It is the one adopted by both
parties in their state conventions. and
is much more reasonable than the
present plan of representation that is
adopted by national conventions.
namely, giving to each state a repre-
sentation double the number of its
congressional delegation. The great
merit of this plan is that it saves the
work of apportioning the represents
ton among the states. The Payne
plan would give the control of the con-
vention to the states that support the
party ticket. 1t would be a proper
recognition of those sections of the
country where a partys strength lies.
and it would encourage its adherents
to hold their strength and increase it.
Against the plan it might be urged
that it would greatly discourage a
party where it was in small minority
and take the heart out of it to work
Tor success. Then, again, there would
come in time-honored precedent and
strong prejudice. The present plan Of
representation is in the nature OF a.
recognition of the federal character of
the Union
1t is scarcely likely that the Repub-
lican national convention will adopt
the plan this year; but it is in the
air, SO to speak, that the present plan
of representation in national conven-
tons must be changed, as it is, arbi
trary and unjust and does not in re-
atty represent the true sentiments of
the parties. AT no distant day it is
altogether likely that the present plan
will be greatly modified.
One serious objection to the Payne
plan is that it would increase the size
of the conventions very materially.
His present unit of representation
would increase the Republican con-
vention almost two hundred members.
The unit could h.a noada e,,a3oia-+,--
large to avoid this, If desired.

failures for the cause here mentioned.
and largely because they look upon
college education as an end in itself
and not, as it should be, a means of
attaining an aim in life.
We would not be understood as
undertaking the great Importance of
higher education, but primary, inter
mediate and high school education is
Of more Importance to the people at
large. And in the primary and inter
mediate schools the very best teachers
in the land should be employed. In
these schools the child's mind is in
its formative period, and the import
ance of having the mind properly
trained during those years cannot be
overestinated.
Every parent interested in education
should read and reflect upon Dr. Mills
paugh's address.

REPUBLICAN FINANCIAL PLANK.

1t must be apparent to all by this
will be against the free coinage of
silver. The financial plank to be adopt
ed there will be for the gold standard.
It may be that it will be in the not
entirely frank terms of the Indiana
plank. That declares for sound
money" and against the free coinage
of silver. The essential thing is that
it declares against free silver, not
what it declares for.
The San Francisco Chronicle sees
the handwriting on the wall 1t says
that at is now plainly apparent that
the financial plank of the Republican
platform win not meet in full the
views Of the extreme advocates of sill
yer. 1t will not favor free. unlimited
and independent coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to in the absence of in
ternational agreement. While pro-
nounced silver plank in the st. Louis
platform would be received with en-
thusiasm in Colorado. Utah, Idaho. Ne
vada and Wyoming, with their nine
teen or twenty electoral votes. it might
lead to a loss TO the party of ten
times that number east of the Alle-
ghanies.''
There is the whole case. 1t is a
cold-blooded calculation. The interests
Of not only the west, but OF the whole
people are to be thrown overheard in
obedience to the dictation of the money
power of the cast. In the electoral
college the votes of the five states
named are not so many as in some of
the great goldbug states, and it is
votes in the electoral college that are
wanted, no matter if the securing OF
them continues to keep the people in
poverty and to smother prosperity.
We ask the people Of UTAH what
they think of all this? Are they pre-
pared to rivet the chains of slavery
Upon themselves and their fellowmen
. throughout the land by voting for a
parry that proposes to continue the
gold standard when they know that
it is the cause of their distress and
poverty? Do they wish their children
and their children's children to suffer
as they have suffered because Of the
gold standard?

TELLER's CANDIDACY.

A Washington dispatch to a Chicago
paper says that Senator Teller takes
very little stock in the movement to
make him president. He admits that
Senators Stewart and Jones of Nevada
on the Republican side, and Jones of
Arkansas and some others on the Dem
ocTatic side, have q scheme by which
they think he can be nominated, but
he is not sanguine Of success. But the
senator has not given the idea any en-
enlargement as he thinks there is no
chance of success. Furthermore. he
thinks that the Chicago convention viii
nominate Boies, and a southern man,
perhaps Senator Daniel, of Virginia, foq
vice president, upon a 16 TO l platform,
and that such a ticket will carry
five or six western states. He does not
desire to be nominated upon an indie
pendent Republican ticket Or as the
candidate of the Popuiists, as he fears
that it would take votes from the Chi
cago nominee, and he would much pre-
fer to see the silver ticket win than be
president himself.
Whether Senator Teller is right in his
conjectures as to who will be the norni-
nees Of the Democratic party, we dc
not pretend to say. But he is right
when he says that they viii stand upon
is to 1 platform. His sentiments in
regard to being a candidate himself OF
an Independent Republican or Popuiist
ticket are worthy of him. His great
desire is the success of the silver cause,
In the ensuing campaign we shall ex-
pect to see Senator Teller fighting as
valiantly for the free silver candidate
of the Democratic party as any man in
all the country.
