HOW SAMPSON DID.

The temple held an awful crowd.
1t seemed as if a boom
Had struck 1t fore and aft until
There wasn't standing room.
The Gazarenes were out in force,
The naughty and the nice,
Until no tickets could be had
at any sort Of price.
s-le crowd outside was ninety feet
In thickness, more or less,
And up against the temples walls
There was a dreadful press.
A thousand women tainted there,
Perhaps ten thousand more
Were badly squeezed, and every man
Raised up his voice and swore.
1t was a gala day, indeed;
There never had been one
In all the temples history
When greater deeds were done.
For Samson, the Herculean,
Had been engaged to break
All previous records and thereby
The greatest one to make.
These are the facts Of history,
And what befell that day
To thousands OF those Gazarene5
Who happened round that way.
And never has an actor since
Brought uOWn d mousse DIS ne
Brought down that house upon the head
OF those who came to see.
These facts are known. but less well
known
Is why so many went
To see this Samson when they knew
His strength was almost spent.
III tell you in a minute why,
If you would like to know;
His mana gers were wise men and
They advertised the show.

THE QUEENS SPEECH.

The speech of Queen Victoria pre-
vfous to the opening of parliament is
always an interesting event. This year
it has an unusual interest for Ameri-
cans because of the Venezuelan bound
airy dispute. Reference is made to the
matter by her majesty, she saying that
the government of the United States
has expressed a wish to cooperate in
the termination Of the difficulties
which have existed for years between
her government and Venezuela upon
the boundary of that country and her
colony Of British Guiana. She further
says that she has expressed her sym
pathy with the desire to come to an
equitable arrangement and trust that
further negotiations will lead to a sat
isfactory settlement" In this wish the
people of the United States join most
heartily.
The chief importance of this express
sion of sympathy with the desire for
an equitable arrangement of the diff
Guilty is that it is conciliatory in tone.
There is no indication of policy as re-
CARDS the Monroe doctrine as ennunci-
ated in President Cleveland's message
to December II one way or the other.
From what is said in the speech no one
can draw any inference as to whether
that doctrine is accepted or repudi-
ated. The whole reference is couched
in diplomatic language.
The speech also makes reference to
Armenian matters, an expression of
deep regret at the massacres alone be-
ing elected in regard to them. Men
ton is made to the Jameson raid.
Speeches from the throne are largely
perfunctory performances, and the
present one is no exception to the rule.

The Tribune praises the Republicans
OF the house elections committee be-
cause they recommend the seating OF
only one Of three Republican contest
ants from Utah county, and denouncea
the Democratic members of the COM
mfttee for deciding against all of the
contestants. The Democrats wanted
the evidence Of the case printed so that
the members of the house would know
exactly the status of the cases, but the
Republican majority refused to allow
it They don't seem to want the evil
dence but propose to use the force of
numbers to accomplish their designs.
According to the Tribune's style Of
reasoning, il q burglar broke into a
house where there was three gold
watches and stole them, he would be
entitled to great credit if he gave up
two OF them when caught, but the
owner Of the watches should be severely
cargured If he tried to make him give
up the third one.-Ephraim Enterprise.
The Enterprise has got the thing
in this case are the Democratic parti-
sans: they have the three watches
(seatsJ, and demand leave to retain
them all, refusing even to restore one;
while the Republicans agree that they
may keep two, but must restore one
to its rightful owner. And we take
leave 70 say that it's mighty mean
burglar who will refuse to restore one
third Of his plumber on getting leave
to keep the other wo-thirds.-Salt Lake
Tribune.
As the court Of last resort in the
casa Republican court too. by the
way-decides that the Democrats did
not steal the watches (seatsl at all,
but were entitled to them. that the
Democrats were not the burglars in
the case, but Republicans attempted to
be. will the Tribune have the manliness
R1ld respectability to acknowledge that
it bore false witness against its neigh
boris. and tender an humble apology?

Government and Good Faith

What is good faith on the part of this
