DUBOIS ON THE CANDIDATE.

Senator Dubois is in Chicago and is
doing what he can to boom" Senator
Teller as the candidate of the Demo
cratic party. He was interviewed on
the subject the other day. He said:
The emergency calls for the nomi-
nation of Senator Henry NJ. Teller or
Judge Caldwell. l do not believe that
a straight Democratic nominee would
be acceptable to the free silver Repub-
licans and Populists of this country.
A Democrat cannot carry the neces-
sary number of western states to as
sure success. To be frank, free silver
Democrat cannot be elected. If the
Chicago convention nominates one, the
silver convention will place an indie
pendent candidate in the field.
Such talk is simply supreme impu-
dence and gall. We utterly fail to see
that there is any emergency calling
for the nomination of a Republican
senator (or at least who was one till
within the month past) or Republi-
can Judge as the Democratic candidate
for president.
Senator Dubois says that he does not
believe that a straight Democratic
nominee would be acceptable to the
free silver Republicans and Populists.
Democratic national conventions make
men their nominees who are primarily
Democrats and acceptable to the DEM
ocratic party. They hope these candi-
dates will be acceptable to those who
are not of their faith, but they do not
cater to them by first alternating their
own party. Senator Dubois comes very
near being damnably sUpercilious in
his talk about the Chicago conven-
ton. He says: ITO be frank, a free
silver Democrat cannot be elected"
He assumes oracular knowledge. He
says free silver Democrat cannot be
elected. Why is he not still more
frank and say right out that he would
prefer to see Major Mckinley elected
on an out-and-out gold bug platform
than to see any Democrat elected on
an out-and-out free silver platform?
Protesting so much frankness why is
Senator Dubois not genuinely and hon
estly frank?
Senator Dubois further says that "if
the Chicago convention dominates one,
the silver convention will place an in
dependent candidate in the field" Is
the Idaho senator the authorized
mouthpiece Of all the silver people?
We fancy not. His remark contains a
threat that amounts almost to an att
tempt to bulldoze. To Senator Dubois
may be applied the remark once APP
piled by a much greater man than he
to a much greater man than he: HE

BURNS INvINcdBLE PLUCK.
make Work" Was His Precept and
~ Dare" His Motto.

1T is a mistake to suppose. as many
do, that Burns was altogether given
up to gallantry and carousal," writes
Arthur Warren in July Ladies Home
Journal. He was not, and he never
pretended to be, an exemplary charac-
ter. Whatever he did he did with all
his energy. He was a creature of emo
tons and strong passions. The right
influences for the discipline of such a
character as his were but seldom
around him. The influences he knew
were all too severe and repressive ON
the one hand, or all too lax on the
other. He was subject to moments of
fiery enthusiasm, and to days of acute
remorse. But, for all that, he worked
and worked hard. He used to say that
he could not conceive a, more mortify-
ing picture of human life than a man
seeking work. Make work he would
say, and he made it. On the other
hand, Burns was honestly touched by
real evidences of devoted living, and
especially among the poor. The old
Scotch habit of family worship always
appealed to him, and he would suffer
no one to make sport of it. There were
some recollectionS that were sacred
to him through life, and one of these
was of his father, who, as the house
hold gathered around the ingle, would
kneel, saying simply, Let us worship
God and then, with patriarchial, grace,
read from the big ha-Bible.' And all
this was something more than mem
DRY, for when Robert had won wide
recognition as poet and all Scotland
was flattering him, he passed the ted
ious weeks of long illness in a study
of the Scriptures. While in one of his
dark moods, feeling that poverty must
always be before him, he said, But
I have sturdily withstood these buff
lettings many a hard lab0red day, and
still my motto is, I darer Burns ever
contemplated with indignation the in
equality of human conditions, and the
contrast between his own worldly cir
cumstances and his intellectual rank.
He expressed this thought a thousand
times, in thousand ways"

INCONSISTENCIES OF THE BoLTERs

I Republican delegate who bolted was
asked, by fellow Republican, since
his return from St. Louis, if he still
regarded himself as being in the Re-
publican party. He replied that he
did When asked to explain why he
still so regarded himself, he could not
answer to the satisfaction of the gem
tleman putting the questions to him.
He was asked how it was, if the boilers
were still members of the Republican
party, that there We're such pathetic
scenes in the committee on resolutions
and such dramatic scenes in the con-
vention when the boilers left it amid
the Kisses and boots of the assembled
thousands. Were the tears shed and
the sad farewells taken because the
boilers were going home to receive
ovations from their constituents and
to be made the heroes of the hour by
them? he was asked. Or was all this
because the boilers were severing their
party ties? He replied there were many
inconsistencies in the case. Rather!
The delegates who bolted the St
Louis convention left their party as
effectually as it was possible for them
to. Supposing that Senator Cannon,
Representative Allen and Mr.. Kearns
had come home and their course in
boiling had been as universally con-
demned as it has been commended,
would the Republicans have claimed
they were still in the party? Their ac-
ton determines their status in regard
TO the party and not the approval or
disapproval of their constituents. Why
do they persist in sophistry and pull
ing the wool over their own and their
constituents eyes?
They are as much out of the Republi-
can party as Adam and Eve were out
of the Garden of Eden after they had
eaten of the forbidden fruit and were
driven out of Eden, while cherubims,
with flaming swords, were placed at
the east of the garden to see that
they did not get in again. The gentle
men should recognize and acknowledge
the truth that free silver is the for
hidden fruit of the Republican Garden
of Eden; that they have eaten OF 1t,
and that thew are out.

FOR TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.

Our whilom fellow townsman, Hugh
c. Wallace, has been mentioned in con-
nection with the temporary chairman
ship Of the Chicago convention. The
reason for it is said to be that he is a
gold man from a western state, and 50
would be acceptable to both the silver
men (who are almost wholly identified
with the west in the public mind and
the gold men. He would not be accept
able to the silver men because they do
not look upon him as one of themselves,
and they will consent to take no one as
temporary chairman who is not beyond
the suspicion of doubt. He stands
entirely too near the administration to
have the confidence of the silver men.
And then his ambition in this matter
is very far in excess of his prominence
in the party. He is a pleasant, agree
able fellow, but he will never be tenn
porary chairman of what bids fair to
be one of the greatest and most historic
national conventions ever held by the
Democratic party,

The Whole carnival, so-called, at Salt
Lake, will probably cost only a couple
OF thousand dollars in displays but the
event will bring into the capital some
$4,000 The railways are figuring on
carrying 10000 persons to see the floats
and each will spend on an average S.
while in the city. Some day the people
will get tired of thus contributing tc
Salt Lakes success.
That generous, broad-guaged senti-
ment is from the Provo ENQUIRER The
good people CT he state who come tc
the carnival feel that as they have
earned their money it is theirs to dc
as they choose with it. We venture tc
say that the small spirit of the En-.
quirer is not the spirit of Provo.

THE SITUATION AT CHICAGO.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
a telegram from Judge Powers telling
just what the situation at Chicago is.
And it is most encouraging, indeed.
The dispatch tells of things just as they
should be- 1t is right that no gold man
should be permitted to preside even
temporarily; and if the gold men at
tempt to put one in they will not be
permitted to do so. The platform will
be clear cut and unequivocal as it
should be, and will declare for the
free coinage of silver at Is to 1 indepen-
dent of any other nation. And the can
didate will be in full harmony with
the platform.
What Judge Powers says about the
two thirds rule is the first of anything
like an authoritative declaration on the
subject that has yet been given out;
and is all the more important because
of that fact. He says that it will not
be abrogated, but that the rules of the
last convention will be adopted. Not
withstanding this fact the silver men
will be prepared for any emergency,
and the committee on rules will be
given power to report at any time
as privileged question. This simply
means that if the two thirds rule is to
be invoked by the gold men to thwart
the will of the silver men a new set
OF rules will be reported from which
will be omitted the famous two-thirds
rule. That is as it should be, for to
adopt it as hard and fast rule would
be for the silver men to disarm them
selves and put sword into the hands
of the enemy at the same time
The situation at Chicago is as salts
factory as could be wished. The silver
men are perfectly organized and so
far as can be judged have guarded
against all avenues of danger. There
is no doubt that the Democratic con-
vention will do its work we'll After
that it will be for the people to ratify

SECRETARIES OF STATES SALARY
Inadequate to Meet the Expensive
Social Requirements of the Office.

Inadequate to Meet the Expensive
Social Requirements of the Office.
In June, 1882, Mr.. Livingston (our
first secretary of state, known then
as secretary of foreign affairs) resign
ed to accept the office of chancellor of
the state of New York We do not
wonder that with a salary of only
$4,000 he should have said he was COM
PEELED to draw upon his private for
tune to support the office That has
been the fate of all, or practically all,
of his successors; for, while the salary
of the Office has been for many years
just twice that received by Mr.. Liv-
ingston. $4,000, the expenditures neces-
which custom has assigned to the of
flee are greatly more than the salary.
A secretary of state who maintains an
establishment and entertains the for
eign ministers and the general public
with the generous hospitality now ex-
pected of him. viii owe much graft
tude to his major-domo if at the end
of a four years term he has not con-
tributed from his private fortune to
the support of his Office a sum greater
than the salary he has received. This
is an evil, for it may happen that the
man best fitted for the Office may re-
fuse it--or leave it as Livingston did
rather than sacrifice a small private
fortune to social demands. Dinners

TALES OF THE DAY.


The car stopped at Hillside avenue to
allow big, pompous looking man to get
ON. There was but one seat in the car
that was not occupied by a passenger,
and that was filled by an enormous
bundle, beside which sat a little quiet
looking man reading a copy of the Wind
mill.
Il want that seat" remarked the big
man, abruptly.
"All right" responded the little one,
why don't you take it?'
We'll. take that bundle out of it,"
growied the other.
Guess not, sententiousy remarked. the
man in the seat.
Whereupocl the seeker for a seat called
the conductor, who informed the little
man that If he did not at once remove
the bundle he would be thrown out in the
street.
"All right" said he fire away"
The big man and the conductor seized
him, and were about to push him through
the door, when a man sitting opposite,
just awaking to the situation, looked up
and said
'Oh. l beg pardon, that's my bundle;
did you wapt it removed?"
Them the little one wondered how much
he would have recovered in a damage
suit If he had been thrown off the car;
and the big man sat down while his col
lar wilted and turned over half way
around his neck.-West Medford Wind
