Tue Quarterly Meeting services at
the Z. Nj. church last Sunday were
well attended, The short "Ohject
Sermon on Habits" to the young
people was listened to with deep
interest, at the morning service. AT
the official meeting on Monday even
ing the dissolution of the Western
Conference was looked on as newt
able, The long continued agitation in
this direction, the rule or ruin policy
of the secret meeting of the preachers
just before the last Conference to
force this result seemed to make
further struggle both hopeless and
undesirable Agitation and strife
might injure the prosperity of the
churches that are successful. IL was
therefore resolved that whether the
Conference dissolve or not that the
church in this city would continue
its work on the same lines as ii Is
this year. On the question referred to
the Quarterly Meeting by the Confer
ence an affirmative answer was given.
The whole meeting was both
harmonious and unanimous through
out.

THE CAR IN FRANCE.


The car of all che Russias has ar
rived in Paris and has been given such
a reception as only the French can
give. The French populace almost
idolize the car, for they believe that
in his friendship lies the chance for
revenge on Germany. That is the Sc
Cret of their enthusiasm for him;
nothing else. It is very doubtful if
the Russian people feel any such en-
thusiasm for France. AS a people it
is impossible for them to feel it. With
the affairs OF their government they
have nothing to do. considering it as
a thing above them but not of them.
In fact they do not realize that they
are nation.
This enthusiastic reception of the
car is but a continuation of the en-
thusiasm aroused when the French
and Russian fleets exchanged visits.
They had no real significance, neither
has this visit Of the car any. He has
been visiting various European CAPT
tails and in each has been received with
every consideration and respecl that
his high station demands. Frances at
tachment to Russia is largely senti-
mental: Russia knows no sentiment
If an alliance with France shall be to
her interest she will seek it; not other
wise. France deems Russia's interests
hostile to Germany the same as heI
own are, but they are not necessarily
so. and the present almost overwhelm-
ing ovations are as much of q protest
or rather defiance, to Germany as q
demonstration of friendship for Russia

THE QUEST.

One luminous star above the hilltops
And twain that chose it for a knightly
quest,
Through the gray land with hoof and
harness changing
Into the dusky west
And he whose errantry went nigh to mad
Reeled on with rudy spur and drifting
Now trolling some wild stave, now sunk
in sadness.
Across the twilit plain.
And they that met him in the narrow
byways,
Hugging the hedge, cried, Whittier, fool,
so fast?
But he hurried on. and struck the broad
white highways,
And cursed them as he passed.
Then came that other, and they bade
him linger.
But his unstraying eyes. were fixed afar,
Only he pointed with his mailed finger
on to the fadeless star.
Till one, grown weary with oermuch
rough riding.
Refined up his reelSing beast and cursed
the light.
And turned his head for home with boot
less Gliding.
And black face of night.
But one held on in steadfast, fearless
wild-eyed and watchful of the fire
And he that wearied of the quest wa.
That others name was Love.

1t is not denied that free coinage
would increase the profits of owners
of silver mines: that could not he
avoided even if it were desirable. Prob
ably some mine owners would agitate
for free coinage if il were question
that concerned them alone; but The
Herald wishes to impress this fact upon
the public mind: If the people of the
mining states, after long and patient
study of the question, were not con-
WINGED that free coinage would benefit
the masses of the people in all parts
of the country, there would be no Or
ganized free coinage movement here.

failure of its attempt to start a STAN
pede from Bryan, has resorted to new
tactics and induced some one to send
a long dispatch from Salt Lake echoing
its mock heroic sentiments. 1t is sur
nrising that any person should have
been found here who would stoop to
become a party to such mapeuver.
The dispatch referred to appeared in
the World of the End. 1t is tissue of
falsehoods and misrepresentation
throughout. 1t represents that two
Utah mines have uaid s16oOO.O0O in
dividends within a short time; that the
mine owners have maintained an or
ganization for twenty-five years for the
purpose of influencing legislation; that
they secured the passage of former
silver laws and made enormous pro-
fits through them, etc, etc.
It is humiliating in the extreme to
find that there is man living in the
west who could be willing to assist the
World in such falsehood and detrac-
ton.
In its editorial con; ments, the World,
with refinement of mendacity, saws
that the trust proposes to buy the
presidency of the United States as a
4 speculation
The World is supporting the Repub-
leans, who announce a purpose to re-
store free coinage by international
agreement. If it is such a great crime
to propose by Independent action to
restore a financial policy for the bene-
fit of all the people which would, at the
same time, increase the rewards OF
those miners who have been able to
keep afoat during the long period OF
silver depression ana lift from bank
ruptcv the multitudes who have been
ruined by the fall in the price of bull
lion. how can the New York papel
justify it's support of proposal to ac-
complish exactly the same result II
another wav?
If it is crime fer mine owners to
subscribe to the Democratic campaign
fund, then it is a crime for manufac'
turers and banks and bond dealers t'
subscribe to the Republican fund.
If it is "brazen" for mine owners t'
admit that free coinage would penen
them, then every one of the multitude'
who give TO Mark Hanna is brazen, fol
all claim they do so because 1t Is u
, their personal interest.
These thoughts are respectfully sub
mitted for the consideration OF TN
World and its trucking Utah ally.
