that he was not an attractive man; al OF

ing article upon Mr.. Cleveland that
we have ever seen. What prompted
the Post to write such an article? Are
we to think that it was. at that time,

because the Post could not bear to
have its English idols spoken Of with
bowed down to and worshipped that
it SO denounced Mr.. Cleveland for his
message of December II, 1895, on the
Venezuelan question? For months

If there is any relation between the
causes of the strength of the silver
movement in the United States in 1896

fact Mr.. Cleveland deliberately alien
ated those leaders and the great mass
es of his party, which We're and are
attached to the principles of bimetal-
lism and free coinage for both gold
and silver, and set himself UP as the
fighting champion of the single gold
standard. His relation to the strength
of the silver movement in 1895 is a
nIsre accident and not essential.

rHn REFunLIcANs, pILEzI,IA.

Our morning contemporary in its is
sue OF yesterday gave its idea Of what
it thought the Republican convention
should do. I'VE think" it says, ''it
would be a shame if that convention
should not repeat the resolution passed
by the convention which sent delegates
to st. Louis and declare for silver res
toration, q just protective tariff and
reciprocity. We think 1T should insist
that the candidate for congress should
be a pronounced believer in silver res
toration. We think there should be
recommendation by the convention
that the legislature elect no one to the
senate who is not an earnest, agrees
sive believer in silver rehabilitation
What the Republican state conven-
ton will do, we cannot pretend to say;
it is very much to be doubted whether
the Republicans themselves can say at
this time what it viii do Can there
be any harmony of action in the con-
vention on the silver question? If the
suggestions Of our contemporary are
adopted, it would be a flying in the
face Of the st. Louis convention and
Reputation of its platform. If they
are not adopted. it will simply mean
that the attitude of the national Re
publican party on the silver question is
the attitude of the Republican party of
Titan, which attitude is one of hostil-
ity to the free coinage of silver, which,
according to the declaration of the st.
Louis platform, would be a debase-
ment of our currency
If the convention insists that the can
didate for congress shall be a pro-
nounced believer in silver restoration,
it will insist that he be an anti-Mc-
Kinley man on the paramount issue
Of the campaign If it insists that he
shall be in harmony with the nation
al party on this issue, then it will in
sist that he be opposed to the senti-
ment of the state on the silver issue.
The same will be the case in the mat
ter of the election of a United States
senator.
It will scarcely be possible to get
voters to look so far ahead as to what
will be the question before the coun-
try two or four years hence and vote
accordingly this year If the country
gets free silver within the next two
years, and if all the hopes held out
by the promise of free silver are not
false, the prosperity of the country

no interest in tariff in any Of its forms.
whether for protection or revenue, and
reciprocity will be regarded as the
doctrine of the protectionist doctrin-
aires.
Let the people bend all their ener-
gies to the securing of free silver now,
giving no heed to those questions
which are practically not in issue in
the present campaign.

THE MILITIA CENSUS.

The taking of the militia census of
Salt Lake county has given rise to
some comment in the community be-
cause the county court ignored the
opinion of the county attorney in the
matter, and because Of the cost of
the census. The duty of taking it
devolves upon the assessor, but how
he shall take it the statute does not
say. 1t was the opinion of the county
attorney that it should be taken when
the assessments are made. This was
not done, but instead the assessor en-
ployed men for the special purpose of
taking the census, agreeing to pay
them four dollars per day. That the
assessor had the right to employ them
seems to be the case; that he had the
right TO fix their compensation when
the county was to pay it is not at all
clear. The price is excessive in these
times, being more than judges of cleo
ton have been allowed in the past;
and the enunerators have only had to
WORK eight hours a day, and not work
very hard either The county court
should not have voted to pay any such
compensation If the assessor did not
choose to consult the court as to the
compensation to be paid the enumera-
tors, that fact did not relieve the court
of its duty. IF the assessor had put
the compensation at ten dollars a
day presumably the court would have
felt it incumbent upon them to vote
for such compensation. The taking of
the militia census will cost the tax
payers of the county some two thous-
and dollars Zone of the commissioners
says the assessor assures him the cost
will not exceed eleven hundred dollars.)
The total appropriation made by the
legislature for the maintenance of the
state guard for the year 1896 is only
three thousand dollars. The law relat-
ing to the taking of the militia census
needs amendment; the taxpayers are
paying too much for their whistle

DIR. CLEVELAND AND THE SILVER
SENTIMENT.

The New York Evening Post thinks
that the historian who shall look care
fully into the causes of the strength
of the silver movement in the United
States in the year 1896 will find that
one of its most potent elements was
the jealousy and hatred felt by Demo-
cratic leaders for President Cleveland!
1t says a great many reasons can be
be given for this hostility. It began
back in his first term, it declares, when
he refused to consider that one of his
chief duties as a Democratic president
was to satisfy Democratic hunger for
Office; that ii was augmented by the ir-
ritation which old political bosses like
the mossback senators felt to see
new man in the party compel its ODE
dience to sound doctrine against the
opinions expressed by themselves and
by many of their constituents, as
Mr.. Cleveland did in securing a renom-
inetion in the face of his denunciation
of free silver, and in compelling the re-
peal of the Sherman act against the
personal wishes of so many senator's.
Therefore, ii thinks, il is only natural
in view of all this, to find all the sena-
tors who have sought occasion to OPP
pose the president (as on the tariff
question: drifting one by one into the
Bryan camp German, it says, logic
ally belongs where he has gone; Faux
ner marches with his captain. and
Smith Of New Jersey practically places
his banner on the Bryan wall as he
hurries off to Europe. In conclusion it
says it need surprise no one if other
anti-Cleveland senators very speedily
join in the same procession.
How will the Post explain the very
recent accession Of the Atlanta Jour
nal to the ranks of the Bryan and
Sewall men? That journal is the per-
sonal organ of MI Hoke Smith,
Mr.. Cleveland's secretary of the in
terror.
If there have been jealousy and ha-
tired felt by Democratic leaders for
President Cleveland, he has himself
to thank for them. The reasons for
this we have never seen better set
forth than by the Post itself. in long
leader, some two years ago. 1t pointed
out how in his first term he had alien

were prominent in it when he was I'M

DEoEAGoGY IN POLITICS.

Perhaps the worst feature in Ameri-
can politics is demagogy. 1t is always
an apr to passion and prejudice.
Alreads IS been begun in this cam
paign. New York Sun, which
bolted the Chicago convention because
1T was SO opposed to demagogy and
so attached to principle, started in to
make a demagogic campaign against
Mr.. Bryan. It made the very silly
charge that he is a corporation at
torney, a railroad corporation at that.
Its charge was this:
Some little surprise will doubtless be
caused among those friends of William
]. Bryan, candidate of the nondescript
convention at Chicago, who do not al
ready know of it, on learning that he
has been for some time a, paid en-
ployee of very large and rich corpora
ton. This corporation is the Missouri
Pacific Railroad company. Mr.. Bryan,
in the intervals of his Populistic and
free silver rhetoric, finds time to act as
assistant attorney for the state of
Nebraska, under General Attorney b.
f. Waggen,ar of the Missouri Pacific"
And what if Mr.. Bryan were an at
torney in the employ of the Missouri
Pacific railway. He has a perfect right
to find employment wherever he can
the same as any other American. But
it seems that the Sun, which has ever
prided itself on its accuracy, was
wrong. The New York World tele-
graphed to Mr.. Bryan's law partner in
Lincoln, Neb., and received this
answer:
''To the Editor of the World:
Your telegram received. Mr. Bryan is
not now and never was the paid attor-
ney of the Missouri Pacific or any otheu,
railway company. He has never re-
ceived a personal salary or fee from the
Missouri Pacific. He is not now and
never was assistant state attorney.
"A. r. TALBOT"
What a contemplate thing to do on
the part of the Sun. Corporations are
not saints by any means neither are
they the absolute devils some would
have the people believe. We believe
it would be no exaggeration to say that
at least a third of the hired labor of
thu state is in the employ of corpora
tons.
1t is as proper for a man to be the
attorney of a railroad company as for
man to be an engineer, trainman, or
section hand on a railroad. And it
would be just as right to attempt to
hold a man up to scorn for holding one
position on railroad as for holding
another. The Sun has tried to play the
demagcgue and has been thoroughly
exposed.

the plaintiff was turned over for cross

as counsel for Sitley, the case took a
somewhat different turn.

HoKE SMITHS PAPER FOR BRYAN.

The news comes from Atlanta that
the Journal of that city, while not
approving all the Chicago platform,
will support Bryan and Sewall. 1t is
a very important announcement for
several reasons. Since the Chicago
convention the Journal has been very
hostile to Mr.. Bryan and has been hard
" less severe in its criticisms of the
convention and its nominee than the
most rabid boilers. 1t has been anti
silver ever since silver became an is
sue, and opposed ex-Speaker Crisp,
who was advocating silver, with might
and main. These facts make the an
nourcement important; but there is an
other which makes it more important
still. 1t is that the Journal is Secretary
Of the Interior Hoke Smiths personal
organ, and has generally been believed
to represent administration views on
important questions. That it now de-
clares it's intention CT supporting
Bryan and Sewall may be taken as an
intimation that the administration will
also support them. 1t is not probable
that Secretary Smith would take such
an important step without having the
approval Of the administration, for it
must be remembered in this regard
that he stumped Georgia in behalf of
sound money at Mr.. Cleveland's behest.
No cabinet officer under the present
administration has ever been known
to take any free and independent step
Of Importance without waiting for the
consent of any other nation-of the ad-
nliniscration, we should say.
This declaration by the Atlanta Jour
nal in favor of Bryan and SewaG will
be Like the spreading of a wet blanket
over the jubilant goIdbugs.

THE report from the west that Mr..
Bryan rode to the station in a cab is am
important detail. The Demo-Populist
agitation might have required him to
take the trip in am ash-hauler S
wagon" says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
That is merely a sneer at Mr.. Bryan
because he is not able to keep a pri-
vate livery stable and play the great
lord. Such sneers only make the COM
mon people think more OF him.

THE CASTLE NEAR THE WINDOW
SEAT.


There's castle here near the window
seat, castle made of wood,
Where dwells full many d wondrous
wight, some very bad, some good.
On the tiptop floor lives Cruso bold, and
Mr.. CULVER, who
Once sailed afar OH the broad salt sea;
and there's Columbus, too.
And next to them lives Robin Hood and
all of his merry band,
With his little nalnesahe Riding Hood,
upon his strong right hand;
And 1unny old Don luixote, too, lives
way UP there with these,
With his battered helmet on his head and
tin cups on his knees
On the lower floor is fairy store-Titania
and ner fays,
And Brownies by the dozens who are
pranking all their days;
And Cinderella lives near them, with her
good old fairy friend,
And close to her Aladdin dwells, with
stores of gold to spend.
Hope -my-Thumb lives up there, too, and
Jack with his bag of beans,
And Alice OF the Looking Glass, with her
queer old fussy queens;
And all the BARRIERS dwell therein, tof the
old Abraham Nights,
And strewn about are heroes of at least
thousand fights.
TITS a wondrous band of persons grand
that nursery castle holds;
With fearful beasts, and fearful birds,
. and witches, too, and scolds;
And you'd almost think 1t would brighten
me TO know, when L go to bed,
That all of these creatures live so close,
almost at my very head.
But it doesn't, you see, for 1 am King, and
l hold the castle keys;
Not ore can stir from his settled place
within unless please.
And, after all, they are safe enough, in
spite of their wicked looks,
For the castle walls of which I speak
make the case where 1 keep my
books.
