RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

The election of Major Mckinley as
president of the United States seems at
this hour e a. NO. certain. The forces
that have supported Mr.. Bryan and the
cause of free silver appear to have been
Overwhelmingly defeated. The inroads
that the Republicans have made in
some of the southern states are truly
astonishing. How far this has been ac-
complished through the detection of
Democrats 10 the Palmer-Buckner
| ticket it is impossible now to say The
fact that the administration gave it's
hearty Endorsement to that ticket has
had more or less weight. While it may
not have added any particular strength
to it it would have a tendency to
ALLEVIATE a large proportion of the I'M
certain vote from the regular Demo-
cratic ticket. The influence of the adj
ministration bolt was doubtless far less
than those who approved and sup
ported it viii claim.
The result OF the election as indicated
by the incomplete returns received is a
great defeat for silver. Nor will it do
to say that this defeat was encom-
passed by the corruption of the peo-
pie. That there was some corruption
there is no doubt, but not enough to
make the defeat so decisive as it is.
The American people, as a people, can
not be purchased though they may be
deceived. The campaign of education
in behalf of free silver must be con-
tinued until it triumphs
Those who advocate free silver will
accept the verdict of the American
people as that of the sovereign power
in this country. They will not deceive
themselves into thinking that Major
Mckinley will do anything for silver.
His election will no doubt allay the ap-
prehensions of the capitalist class in
this country and in Europe We trust
that it may bring prosperity, but we
can scarcely hope for the prosperity
that free silver promised.
To the Democrats of the state there
is some compensation for the defeat
of Mr.. Bryan in the almost certain
election of Judge King and Demo-
cratic legislature. There is little oues-
ton that this county has gone Demo-
cratic.
While the defeat of Mr. Bryan and
free silver is greatly to be regretted
let it be remembered that it is the
American people who have defeated
them

THE HERALD TO SENATOR CANNON.

Ever since he walked out of the st.
Louis convention, Senator Cannon has
been champion of free silver. Yes
terday The Herald Internationally did
him great injustice by stating in its
account of his speech at North Ogden
that he had advised the voters to vote
for McKinlev.
This very regrettable error occurred
through the fact that those who fur
nished the account of the meeting at
North Ogden, a source always deemed
perfectly reliable, totally misappre-
hended what Senator Cannon said,
and under this Misrepresentation sent
the report that appeared in our col
umns yesterday.
There has been no drawer champion
of the silver cause than Senator Frank
]. Cannon. His loyalty to silver has
been and is unquestioned. For an I'M
intentional wrong to him this paper
offers its sincerest apologies, trusting,
and believing, they will be received in
the same spirit that they are offered.

NOW TO BUSINESS.


The election is over and people can
now turn their attention 10 business
with renewed vigor and increased de-
termination to make the most Of the
situation and to leave no stone I'M
turned in promoting The industrial de-
velopment of the state. With such
mineral discoveries as are being made
in Utah there is no reason why there
should not be pronounced progress here
during the coming year. We have
riches that need but to be dug out of
the ground, while men put ITO work in
the mines will make profitable mar
ket for the products of the soil; and
it remains for our people to resOlutely
proceed to solve the problem of de-
veloping all. these resources and fore
ing nature to yield up the prize OF
prosperity to the commonwealth.
1t was said during the campaign that
the silver propa ganda was in the in
terest of the mining states. The fact
is that, with free coinage or with The
gold standard, these states are better
euuioced than any others 70 solve
the problem of prosperity for their peo-
pie. We have gold that we can mine
when we cannot mine silver; and gold
is wealth. There is room in Utah for
thousands of miners III addition TO
those now at work There is capital
seeking investment and this can be
induced to come here and enlist in
mining enterprises that will make work
for additional men and secure profits
for the investors. All that is needed
is diligence and determined effort. In
mining, as in all other lines. keeping
everlastingly at it brings success if
conditions are such that success is at
tainable While success may not be
possible in many lines under prevail
ing conditions, there is nothing to pre-
vent success from being achieved with
a good gold mine. Only two things are
needed-and if the capital is secured
the labor will be found ready at hand.
Others states are far less favorably
situated. Those people who. depend
upon agriculture are at the mercy
of the elements on the one hand and
the markets on the other. Those whose
reliance is upon manufacturing are
likewise dependent upon conditions
THAI are not stable. But those who
dig golden wealth from the hills are
beyond the reach of outside influences,
and it is possible for the mines to make
the people OF the state prosperous
while adj about them communities suf-
fer from stagnation.
Prosperity is within the reach of
Utah; it's fountain is in the hills
where the prospectors trace the min
eral deposits, and the channel through
which lit can be made TO vitalize all
the business interests of the state is
to be opened by the pluck and enter
prise of the people.

YOUNG CaoCKER's CASE.

A good deal of fuss has been made
over one of the sons of the Crocker
family in California whose sharing in
the estate was made dependent upon
his remaining sober for five years. He
accomplished the feat and has entered
into his reward.
The interesting feature of the case is
that the young man appears to have
reformed in earnest. While he had
big stake to strive for. in his contest
with temptation, he appears to have
come to a thorough realization of the
fact that dissipation is not the object
of human existence; that it is not what
giided youth so often seem to think,
and that it is not in any sense to be de-
sired.
There are multitudes who have

A Bangor, Me-, dispatch to the Bos-
ton Herald says that DR.. G. H. Grey of
LYNN, Mass, has come out of the
woods with the biggest set of moose
antlers in the world. DR.. Grey shot his
moose in Aroostock county, and he
brought it to Bangor to be mounted.
The most remarkable thing, about the
head is the many points on the ant
lers, but it is finely developed in other
ways. On one of the antlers there are
q points, and on the other there
are II. The antlers belonging to the
Prince of Wales, which are now the
second largest in the world, have 16
and Is points. The length of the blades
of the antlers is feet inches, and
each is Is inches wide. The blades are
Of nearly the same width throughout
their length. The spread of the up
per antlers is 81 inches, not a remark
able measurement, and the spread of
the brow antlers is nearly as great.
The moose was about II or IA wears
old, and was brought out from North
Twin dam.

STYLES OF JOURNALISM.

Referring to mysterious crime in
Paris, a dispatch says that it filled
columns in the French newspapers. and
the trial attracted crowds of fashion
able people
And that suggests that the French
newspaper is very different from the
newspaper as we know it in America.
A case attracting equal attention here
would he given pages of space in our
metropolitan papers. When one picks
UP a French journal his first thought
is that it is a country sheet, and a very
badly printed one at that; but when he
looks at the name he is likely to find
the paper is one of the most famous
of the gay capital 1t is usually four
pages it looks as though it had been
printed in a blacksmith shop, and the
news is given in condensed form with
out the display characteristic Of the
American paper
In America we give more space to d
tolerably sensational burglary than a
French paper would give to a revolu-
ton. Readers are likely to think that
the French method is the better Per-
haps it is. Certainly there are few of
peruse all that it publishes; yet the
American publisher simply caters to
the demand Of the public.
The difference between French and
American journalism is that tine latter
recognizes right, or an alleged right,
of those particularly interested in any
subject to have full details respecting 1t.
If there is prize fight or horse race,
it is taken for granted that consid-
cradle number of persons want to read
all about it, and they are furnished an
elaborate report, although nineteen out
of twenty of the readers of the paper
may not even care TO read the head
lines. If a fire occurs in distant city, |
it is supposed that many persons will |
be interested. and they are given all the |
details obtainable; and so it runs all
through the scale. The French idea !
would be to make but a brief mention |
if any, and leave the persons particu-
larly interested to get the details from
other sources.
In an American paper there may be |
seventy-five columns Of reading matter
As rule not more than five columns
will be of interest TO any one patron;
yet the patronage covers such a wide
range of tastes that all the news is
devoured. The improvements made in
printing machinery and in the methods
of collecting and transmitting news
make it probable that the disposition
to cater to the demands of readers will
grow rather than the reverse, and the
American reader will be obliged to con-
tinue to hunt out the departments that
interest him, leaving the rest of his
paper for those for whom it is designed.

clination to run wild and who run that
way with an abandon indicating that
they do not know or do not care where
In lies the real enjoyment of life. More
over, because sycophants fawn upon
them, they get the idea that the lives
they, lead are the correct thing and
that they are to be envied because of
their bad habits and their ability to
indulge them. They not only manifest
such sentiments by their careers, but
their manner reflects the same idea;
they put on airs of superiority and
strut around as though they were bet
ter than others whose shoes they would
not be worthy to black. While they
indulge their dissipated tastes and their
cultivated insolence of demeanor. men
OF real worth learn to despise them,
and they are fortunate if they do not
finally incur the contempt even of the
better class of those who seek to keep
in the swim with them.
To all such the reformation of young
Croker may afford useful lesson.
Even though he may have mended his
ways for the purpose of securing a
fortune, the fact remains that he has
found that a well-ordered life is the
only kind worth living. The respect
and confidence of those whose respect.
is worth having are always worth
striving for. and q nan who has won
that respect and that confidence re-

ton is smart, should find both warn
ing and encouragement in the story of
