THE GREAT ISSUE.

The great issue of the day is the
financial question, The present house
of representatives which is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, attempted to make
the issue protection, and for this pur-
pose introduced a rather mild tariff
measure, calling it by the soft name of
an emergency revenue bill. But the
attempt has not succeeded. 1t was put
forth as a feeler and has served its
purpose It has been discovered that
the financial question will not down,
that all others are subordinate to it
and will so remain until it is solved.
There may be bond issues and there
may be revenue bills but they afford
no solution of the problem that must
be solved. Each will view the great
problem according to his own light but
in the west and many of the states OF
the south the whole trouble is viewed as
coming from the demonstration of sill
yer and the determination on the part
of the moneyed interests to force upon
the country the single gold standard.
Those who are doing this never tire of
telling the people there is an abundance
of gold, that all that is lacking is conf
dence. The confidence is lacking surely
and the abundance OF gold is not seen.
Why talk such stuff as this to the peo-
pie? The statement of the proposition
carries its own refutation. 1t is posi-
BILE that the people will not vote for
free silver next November but in no
other way can they vote an assured
prosperity. Two theories of money will
confront them. One, that of metallic
money based on gold and silver. There
is no promise behind that for it needs
none. The other, bank currency
based on government bonds, which gov
eminent bonds are nothing but a prom
Use to pay, at future time, metallic
money to the holders of them This
form of money is but q. promise to pay
the security for which is the govern
ment's promise to pay. If the govern
ment cannot now secure metallic money
is it at all likely that it can do it more
easily twenty or thirty years hence
with all the bad effects of demonetiza-
ton increasing rather than diminish
ing?
The great issue will soon be formally
before the people and they will, through
the ballot, be the architects of their own
fortune. May they act wisely.

TO THE COUNTY sMEcrMEx.


Resolved, That Selectmen Roberts
and Geddes be appointed special COM
mittee of the county court to visit the
city OF Chicago, and such other cities
as may be necessary, and to be present
at the practical tests upon elevators,
for which bids have been received.
provided, that the company to whom
the contract may be awarded stands
the expense of said trip, and said COM
m1ttee is authorized to let a contract
Tor an elevator. providing the price
does not exceed the present bid of any
company whose elevator may be Sc
lected.
Such is the resolution offered in the
county court Friday by Selectman
Christopherson and seconded by Sc
lectman Roberts, Selectman Geddes be
ing in the chair. It is a clear case of
the Three Tailors Of Tooley street de-
claring themselves to be 'we, the peo-
ple"
What do they propose to go to Chi
cago and other cities for? To be pres
ent at the practical tests upon eleva-
tors for which bids have been received!
They will go to as many cities as may
be necessary! So far as the county
Of Salt Lake is concerned it is not
necessary that they go to single city.
1t simply means a junketing trip and
nothing more. The county court in it's
wisdom has provided that the company
to whom shall be awarded the con-
tract shall pay the expenses of the
trip And, of course, that simple-mind-
81 lI.s.
ing this expense back to the taxpayers
of the county.
We do not desire to be offensive, but
we mean to be plain. We do not be-
heve there is a man, woman or child
in all Salt Lake county who would pay
the street car fare of OIessrs. Geddes
and Roberts from the joint building TO
the Knutsford hotel to get their opin-
ion on elevators or anything else. 1t
simply isn't worth having. They are
not mechanical or electrical engineers,
and in the very nature of the case
cannot be competent to decide upon the
merits of any kind of elevators. Is
there an individual, firm or corpora
ton in the city or county that would
call upon the county selectmen to give
an expert opinion on an elevator or
other piece of machinery?
The people have little confidence in
the ability of the selectmen to do any
thing as it should be done, and they
will look upon this trip to see "practi-
cal tests of elevators as nothing but
an excuse for a junket. If they really
wish to study elevators there are
enough in the city to keep them busy
until their term of office expires.

ENGLAND's WAR SPIRIT.

England is getting her war spirit UP.
1t is a fine one when it is up, and
while not always invoked in behalf Of
just causes it often has been. That
pleasant writer Jerome K. Jerome has
been giving his views on what he
terms the present crisis. He says It
is serious enough for silence; that IT
may blow over. On this point he is not
quite sure. It is his opinion that It
may develop into the greatest war the
world has ever seen, and England NAV
have to fight with her back against
the sea for her own existence. He
seems to look upon all mankind as the
enemy Of England who would take the
fruits of English energy and enterprise.
but declares that Englishmen will
protect their heritage. This will be
no easy task. but it will have to be
faced sooner or later. If he foresees
clearly he is right when he says it is
time that England looked into herself
and took counsel with herself. The
world is ruled by might, and force is
the weapon Of the right as we'll as Of
the wrong. Are we ready to throw our
gold in the melting pot as young Ger
many threw hers in 1913, the year of
her regeneration Are our shopboys
and our plowboys ready to face the
music Of the guns as the peasant lads
of France faced 1t hundred years
ago for the sake of their motherland?
Are our women ready to weep in
silence and our men ready to die? If
so, England can go upon her way and
70 harm viii come to her, but only the
good born of suffering and effort. If
not, then it win be better to end all our
difficulties without further waste. of
words by simply hosting the white
flag and waiting to hear our fate.

one side and a wisp of a mirror on the

The Celestial calmly took the comb
and began to comb out the long scat

that fringed his upper lip, looking in
his mirror meanwhile. Then, from the
depths of his robes, he drew a small
bottle of horrible perfume. with which
he daintily and dandiffedly dampened
his moustache. il
Then he smilingly leaned forward,
after finishing his toilet, and preferred
the useful articles and perfume bottle

vacated gallery, and how surprised the
Celestial looked as he returned his
toilet appurtenances to his pockets, with
a Shrug of his shoulders that may have
meant much or little.

A NEW LOCOMOTIVE.

When the Baldwin Locomotive com
pany and the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company entered
into combination for the purpose of
manufacturing electric locomotives,
every one realized that an important
step had been taken towards further
ing the development of the means of
transportation. AS a result Of this
combination the first electric locomo-
tive manufactured by the concern has
just been turned out.
In appearance, according to the Pitts
burg Dispatch, it does not in the least
resemble the ordinary locomotive. 1t
looks like an ordinary passenger car,
measures thirty-eight feet from pilot to
pilot and nine feet across. 1t is ex-
planned that hitherto those who have
built electric locomotives have made
mistake in trying to adhere to the
shape of the steam locomotive, hence
they failed to produce an electric To-
connective as efficient or as advantage
Gus as it would have been had they not
done so. In this case, all the operating
parts of the locomotive itself, such as
the motors, are placed under the car
body, which gives ample room above
for storing freight and such appliances
necessary for train to carry. The To-
connective has eight wheels, each forty
two inches in diameter The trucks
are built exceptionally strong. on ac-
count of the heavy weight in the shape
of motors they will have to carry, and
because of the work which they are
expected to perform.
The locomotive weighs 10000 pounds,
and owing to the manner of its con-
struction all of this weight is availa-
bic for adhesion, hence its hauling ca
pacity will be 100 per cent. or 60 per
cent. more than that of the steam To-
connective, although the latter weighs
100000 pounds, but inasmuch as only
10000 pounds of this are on the driving
wheels, the remaining 10000 pounds
are not available for adhesion.
That electricity is destined to revo-
lutionize the present system Of trans
portation no one doubts. Thus far it
has not proved substitute for steam,
but that it will is probable. 1t is a
favorite theory of Edison that cleo
tricity will yet be had directly from
coal. If the theory every results in the
actual discovery of the method of do
ing it, it will revolutionize the indus
trial and commercial world as did the
discovery of Watt It may be that the
twentieth century will realize all the
dreams of the nineteenth and in it's
turn dream dreams that shall be re-
allied.

IRRITATION IN INTERNATIONAL
POLTTICS,

In the Canadian parliament the other
day a member, a Mr.. Mcneil, offered
a resolution regarding Canada's posi-
ton towards England in the event Of
war with the United States. The reso-
luton was quite naturally declaratory
of Canada's "inalienabIe loyalty to the
British throne, and of her Willingness
in case of war to make any sacrifice
for the integrity Of the empire
The resolution swas unanimously
adopted, as was to have been expected.
But the resolution and its adoption
seem to have had a very irritating eff
feet on some. 1t has had this effect on
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. 1t says:
I'm the event of war; it is to be ex-
pected that Canada will act as loyal
dependency of Great Britain. The Do
minion will be invaded by United
States forces, and, almost necessarily,
will be held by them. But war between
Great Britain and the United States is
a dreadful, but happily a remote, con-
tingency, upon which no humane mind
cares to dwell Such shrill and feeble
pipings of defiance as Mr.. Mcneil has
vented can be productive of good to
good-and may serve to irritate the cit
liens of the United States who are not
naturally unfriendly to the Dominion
of Canada.
We agree with the Inter-Ocean that
no good can come of such things, but
has not our own country been more or
less full of just such things for nearly
two months now? They have not done
any good either. If what member of
the Canadian parliament does in the
way Of presenting resolutions declaring
loyalty to Great Britain irritates Amer
leans and begets bad blood, can we as
an intelligent people think that much
of the lingo talk that has been in
dulged in in Congress, together with
some resolutions, does not have the eff
feet to irritate British subjects?
There has been entirely too much Of
this thing on both sides, and it has
not been done in defence of any prin-
ciple whatever. 1t is worse than folly;
it is crime. There is no need for Can
ada to make known her loyalty by
formal resolution; there is no need for
us as a nation to make known orr ma
triotism by continual protestations of
it. No one ever doubted it. Peace and
good will should be cultivated between
this country and England rather than
the spirit of war and hatred. And this
does not require any sacrifice of any
principle or policy to which this gov
eminent is committed.
