For Once.

Ministers of rich and fashionable
churches and stock gamblers are for
once unanimously on the same side of
question, and the richer and more fash
ionable church is the more surely its
pastor protests against the criminality
Of war with England Stock gamblers
and ministers are loud in the denuncia-
tion of those who are supposed to be re-
ponsible for stirring up the war talk.
The clergymen, of course, are prompt
ed BY the traditions of the gospel Of
peace Ii is the part of the Christian re-
ligion to talk and work for peace and
good will among nations, and the
preachers are clearly in the line Of their
profession to lift their voices for peace
But there are times when duty changes
from the ordinary conrse. When the
stock gamblers Of Europe and America
are unanimous in protesting against a
cruel war. it becomes ministers who
look beneath the surface to remember
that there are times in which resistance
takes the place of submission as duty.
And when Christian preacher steps SO
far out Of his way to call Venezuela
miserable little country that is not
worth the United States going to any
trouble about he ought to be ashamed
Of himself, and his congregation ought
to rebuke him. Justice and principle
are always worth fighting for, particu-
larly in behalf of a nation or an indi-
vidual that is weak. Christianity may
well be careful h Y it ranges itself on
the side Of Wall street and Threadnee-
die street.
Let us have peace always, but peace
with honor. o

THEY ARE WATCHING UTAH
Speculation as to the Attitude
of Western Delegates
Will Assume at the National Repub-
Iicau COnvention-The Washington
Press Eagerly watching Every
Move Made by Utah.

Washington, April Io-The Star to-
night, in the course of column of Do.
litieal speculation said:
The election of such three strong
silver men as Senators Brown and Can.
non, and Representative Allen as dele
gates from Utah to the national re.
publican convention, causes additional
speculation as to the attitude western
delegates will assume at the convention
This speculation grows spicy and Of alb.
sorbing interest in view of the fact that
all appearances now indicate the nom
ination of Mckinley.
"Senator Teller, one of the most radi-
cal silver republicans predicts this, but
It is significant that there is nothing
coupled with his prediction favorable to
the nominee carrying the west. In fact.
the senator expressly asserts that if
there is no recognition of silver bv the
convention and the nominee, Colorado
which he can speak for, will vote for a
silver man just as II voted for Weaver
in 1892 Senators Cannon and Brown
and Representative Allen have been re-
garded for months as among the men
who would lead the bolt of the western
delegates at ST. Louis.
"Public sentiment in Utah is back Of
them.
During the last few months, since
the launching of the silver party there.
thousands of republican and democratic
voters in the new state have signed
pledges that they will not vote for anv
candidate unless he IS for silver at the
favorite ratio fixed by silver men. A
Star reporter, who asked Representa-.
tive Allen what would be the position
OF the delegates from his state, was told
that Il was too early to talk on the sub.
ject."
Senator Brown is reported to have
said
II cannot speak for my colleag ues, but
this talk of my boiling the republican
ticket is nonsense"

News From Park 6'ity

Park City, April i2.-The process OF
demelishing the old Park Record Office
goes merrily on today. This enterpris-

two-story frame structure to meet the
requirements of its business. The tenn
porary quarters of the Record until the
office building is completed, will be three
doors north of Adams photo studio, on
lower Maia street.
AT meeting last Friday of the COM
mittee appointed by the three A. o. U.

The correspondence between the two
was made public today by Phelan, be-
cause they could not agree on conditions.
Page claimed to represent Linton and
was therefore the challenged party. He
proposed Butte Is the fighting ground

seventy five yards. Phelan accepted
the defy, but insisted that he was chal-

place and weapons In his letter he said

Eehi Lines.

Lehi, April t2.-Some of the ordi.
nances passed by our late republican
city council came very nearly precipi-
tating legal battle of no small dimen-
sions. 1t all came about through the
efforts of the local leaders of the repub-
lican party to punish the owner of the
Lehi opera house for not casting his lot
with the free silver executioners. One
of the laws passed compelled any person
desiring to give an entertainment or
ball of whatever kind or description, to
first procure license therefor, They
little thought that their work would
prove boomerang and come back like
Banqno's ghost to haunt its originators :;
but so it proved The law worked all
right as long as people would pay the
license for wedding parties or card
socials; but when the choir gave
social party in the Lehi Commercial
bank building, refusing to pay the
required license, then the trouble began.
The mayor was averse to crowding mat
tiers, because the majority of the male
members of the choir were republicans
who had sworn by the biggest idol in
the republican joss house that if they
were compelled to pay the license that
they would labor increasingly until the
scalp lock of every member of the pres
ent city administration dangled at the
belts of the irate singers; but after col
lecting the license from other parties
on divers occasions, there wssno way out
of the difficulty but to compel payment
or repeal the troublesome statute. Tina
would not permit of the latter, so that
instructions were given to our imported
city attorney to draw up complaint
| charging Messrs Webb, Broadbent, Glib
ct al. with violation of the city laws,
and Marshall Thomas was assigned the
duty of bringing this trio of ardent re-
publicans before the bar of Justice vii.

tiers by paying the license thus ends
