STYLES OF JOURNALISM.

Referring to a 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; ii 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
the readers OF an American paper who
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 the latter
recognizes a right, or an alleged right
of those particularly interested in any
subject TO have full details respecting 1t.
If there is a prize fight or horse race,
it is taken for granted that a 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 a distant city,
it is supposed that many persons will
be interested, and they are given all the
details olotainable; and so it runs all
through the scale. The French idea
would be to make but brief mention,
if any, and leave the persons particu-
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.

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

The election of Major Mckinley as
president of the United States seems at
this hour g a. m.) 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 to the Palmer Buckner
ticket it is impossible now to say. The
TACT that the administration gave its
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 will 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 viii do anything for silver.
His election viii 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 cues
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

NOW TO BUSINESS.

The election is over and people can
now turn their attention 20 business
with renewed vigor and increased de
termination to make the most OF the
situation and to leave TO 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 TO work in
the mines will make a profitable mar
ket for the products of the soii; and
it remains for cur people TO resOlutely
proceed 80 solve the problem OF de-
velcqing all these resources and fore
ing nature to yield up the prize of
prosperity to the commonwealth.
Tt was said during the campaign that
the silver propa uganda was in the in
teresit of the mining states. The fact
is that, with free coinage or with the
gold standard, these states are better
euuirced than any others TO solve
the problem of prosperity for their peo-
pie. We have gold that we can mine
when we canlCG mine silver; and gold
is wealth. There is room in Utah for
thousands of miners in 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
everlast:ngly 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
thaH are not stable. But those who
dig golden wealth from the hills are
beyond the reach of outside influences.
and 1T is possible for the mines to make
the people OF the state prosperous
while all about them communities suf-
fer from stagnation.
Prosperity is within the reach of
Utah; its fountain is in the hills
where the prospectors trace the min
eral deposits, and the channel through
which 1T can be made 10 vitalize all
the business interests Of. the STATE is
to be opened by the pluck and enter

YOUNG CRoChER's CASE.

A good deal of fuss has been made
over one of the sons of the Croker
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 a
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.

WHEN SALLY SANG ron ME.

When Sally sang her songs for me, in
days when we were young,
The sun and stars about our path a
lovelier glamour flung;
And L was wont to smiling. say. while
looking in her eyes.
The melody was treacle spilled from
realms Of Parad-Sei
And so the hours went gliding by, as
streamlets to the sea,
When we were younger than today, and
Sally sang for me.
I see the plain old parlor now, wherein
some afternoon,
She warbled Maggie" with wet eyes,
then turned TO ''Bonny Doom
And molly Darling had its charms, and
rather seemed divine,
The while l longed TO have her put her
little hand in mine"
All, well! Old age should cease to dream;
but L would Ike to see
Her face once more as in our youth,

cllnation 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
sucn 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.

Croker may afford useful lesson.
