Not so Enthusiastic.
The silver men were at first disposed to
aid the ultra gold men in securing the
straightest kind of declaration, but
there is an indication that they are not
quite so enthusiastic in that direction as
at first. There are some who seem anxious
to make dramitic exit from the conven-
ton hall, but count up to date finds n
number of waverers and the probability
that there would be representatives of all
delegations left on the floor makes the pro-
posed grand stand play seem n little
doubtful as the effect. There is n disposi
ton toward moderation among some very
prominent silver men, which may make
the bolt less pretentious than advertised.

CONFIDENCE.

1t is becoming a very general and ia
vorite theme among the advocates Of
the single gold standard, both orators
and papers, that what the country
needs is more confidence. This lack of
confidence they attribute more or less
to the agitation for free silver. This
agitation has only become extremely
active within a year; but during that
time there has not been any great lack
of confidence until since the national
conventions met Why has confidence
been lost? Why is it that the people
have become so greatly alarmed? They
have become alarmed because these
gold advocates have been telling them
all sorts Of wild and idle tales about
free silver, how it would bring ruin and
disaster in its train; and at last they
have come to believe it more or less.
1t is a striking illustration of what
Max Muller says is the teaching Of the
tale of the Old Man Of the Sea. He says
that teaching is that if people are told
the same thing three times in success
sion, they will believe it. So often have
the gold men repeated their story,
which, when first told, they knew to be
false, that they themselves have come
to believe it; like the lunatic who all
his life insisted that one times one
made two
When the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act was repealed the country
was told that there would be restora-
ton of confidence, for the purchase Of
silver was that which was destroying
confidence and was the cause of the
panic. That clause was repealed, but
the Improvement to result from it did
not come How strange it is that so
many of the evils from which the
country suffers are charged to the agi-
tation for free coinage while all the
time the country had free coinage
everything went merry as a marriage
bell.
Before the days of the resumption of
specie payments a distinguished writer
on political subjects used to say that
the way to resume was TO resume. So
persistent was he in his reiteration of
this that the people at last decided that
he was right. And he was. Now
everybody wants to restore confidence.
The way to restore confidence is to be
confident. Nothing has happened to
destroy confidence except alarmist talk,
and nothing will happen. The cutlery
against free silver is a partisan cutlery
for political purposes. If the st. Louis
convention and the Chicago convention
had exchanged financial planks the
same outcry against the Democratic
party would have been raised by the
same parties who are now raising it.
And they would have engendered the
same lack Of confidence.

TO REFORM CoNvICTs.

The important fact is dawning upon
the minds Of those who are interested
in prisons and their inmates that the
real reform of the convict must be eff
fected after ne energies from prison.
Within the prison walls he may be
taught the ways of industry, yet the
discipline there is necessarily such
that it is almost, if not quite, impossi-
bic to tell whether any real reform of
the criminal has been effected The
turning point in the future life Of the
ex-convict is the moment he leaves the
prison doors. Then is the time that
the kind word should be spoken to him.
the aiding hand extended to him. If
they are not there he goes forth into
.he world a marked man, feeling that
all mems hands are against him, and
that feeling kills hope. kills the reso-
luton to reform and lead a better life.
kills all that an honest man lives for.
Henceforth he is in that hell from
which there is no escape.
Recently prominent philanthropists
of Minnesota organized the Minnesota
Prison association, its chief object be-
ing to aid in the reformation of re-
leased convicts. 1t appointed an agent
for the state who issued a letter to the
public proclaiming the associations
purposes. The letter is most admirable
and is as much needed in our own
state as in Minnesota. 1t says, in part:
I'VE desire to call your attention to
the almost helpless condition of the
prisoner just released and much of
what we may hope he will become de-
ponds upon the start that he will make
Immediately upon his release. More
depends upon what is done for the first
few days or months than in all that
can be done afterward-they should
start right and when so started all The
encouragement possible should be fur
nished to them.
THE greatest charity that could pos
sibly be extended to them is to pro-
vide them with the right kind of en-
ployment Idleness begets crime and
one with criminal tendencies should al
ways have something to do. This is
equally true Of both adult and juvenile
delinquents. The fact cannot be too
strongly emphasized Charity they
need. Not the charity that gives to

sILvER DOLLARS BEFORE 1873.

The gold men never tire Of telling the
people that during all The years from
17s2 to 1873 the total amount of silver
dollars coined by the government was
only a little more than eight millions.
That, of course, is true, though they
are very particular to avoid all mention
of the fact that up to 1858 the govern
ment coined something more than sixty
six millions of silver of denominations
less than dollar, and that up to that
period ii was all legal tender to any
amount They usually supplement
this statement with another to the eff
feet that during this period there were
no silver dollars in circulation, and
that the sight of one was an event in
the lives of the good people who lived
a generation or two ago. They also
tell the people that there was little gold
in circulation. If no particular evils
were felt from the fact that our silver
left the country, why should there be
any special evils from still using silver
as money and keeping it in the coun-
try? A probable partial answer is
likely to be that cur silver left the
country because it was worth some
what more than the gold. Granted;
but did the country suffer to any par
ticular extent because of such depart
ure of silver and the remaining of the
comparatively cheaper metal, cheaper
owing to the ratio? 1t is not claimed
that the fact that we retained the
cheaper metal while the dearer one
went abroad injured business. If it did
not then, would it do it again? The
gold men will most likely answer that
the reason there was no disaster be-
cause of this was that the two metals
were always at a parity at the legal
ratio. but that thar parity no longer
exists and cannot be restored Whether
that parity would be restored can
never be known until free coinage is re-
stored.

TWO REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.

The Republican state central COM
mittee has decided that the party
shall have two state conventions, one
to choose presidential electors, the
other to nominate a candidate for rep
resentative to congress. The one is to
be held in Sanpete county, the other
IN Weber county. That which the COM
mittee fears, and which dictated its
course is silver. The state is for silver
irrespective of politics. The st. Louis
platform is against it. The problem
presented to the Republican party is
how to straddle and not split. The
central committee no doubt thinks it
has solved the problem. 1t has not. To
the Mount Pleasant convention none
but supporters of Mckinley will go, as
its purpose is to put up Mckinley elect
ors. The Ogden convention is to be
an omnium-gatherum It was a shrewd
thing to do to make the electoral con-
ventfon precede the congressional one,
as it probably means the former will
dominate the latter. It looks as
though the Republican state central
committee had formulated a beautiful
plan of how not to do it

JuDsON HARMON, POET.

The present administration has not
become poetic. Little Mr.. Thurber has
long been suspected of writing vers de
societie and occasionally some things
of far deeper thought and feeling. If
he has done these the public eye has
never been permitted to gaze upon
them, for which the public eye is
truly thankful. But the laurel crown
now rests upon another member of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet. This member is
the encouragement, Judson Harmon.
Mr. Harmon burst forth into song on
the occasion of the trial trip of the
Brooklyn, and his poem is dedicated
to her. 1t is as follows:
The City of Brotherly Love gave thee
birth;
So swift through thy course, be thou
slow unto wrath.
With guns ever ready for war, stalk the
earth,
Defense be thy mission and peaceful thy
path.
The City of Churches has given thee
So ever the cause thou maintainest be
just
Should thunders of battle thy ports set
aflame,
Float stainless above them Sin God is
our trust"
That is true poetry, and if any
should be so bold as to assert the
contrary we have no doubt Mr.. Har
mon is prepared to defend it before the
courts of his country, and if necessity
should arise, to bring injunction pro-
ceedings against those who assail the
poetic powers of the government.
Compare this stirring little poem with
a stanza from that dull and halting
poem called 1.-The Revenge: A Ballad
of the Fleet"
And the sun went down, and the stars
Came out far over the summer sea;
But never a moment ceased the fight of
The one and the tifty-three.
Ship after ship, the whole night long,
Their high-built galleons came,
Ship after ship the whole night long,
With her battle-thunder and flame;
Ship after ship, the whole night long,
Drew back with her dead and her shame,
For some were sunk and many were shat
tered,
And so could fight US no more
God of battles was ever a battle like this
In the world before?
How infinitely superior is the pro-
duct of our home market. Give US
American official poetry to English Of
fetal poetry every time.
Some future Wolfe will prefer to
have written these lines to the Brook
Ign than to conquer a dozen Camadas.
