A FINE DRAMATIC TREAT.

There will be a fine dramatic treat
at the Opera House on Tuesday even
ing. when Donald Robertson and Miss
Brandon Douglas will be seen in Mr..
Robertson's adaptation of Dumas great
story, "The Man in the Iron Mask"
The production embraces a dual part,
which is taken by Mr. Robertson with
ease and versatility. His transition
from the passion consumed, frank and
noble lad to the man, conscious of his
own dignity and strength, and to the
regal bearing of the king, is masterful
He displays a fineness of feeling and a
depth of sentiment which makes his
Interpretation of the parts all that

Douglas, whose conception of a

and devotion to the prisoner of state
and her duty as one consecrated to

"LET TIE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR
WAY"

1t is said that when a senator asked
President Mckinley as to his intentions
in Cuban affairs he replied: Let the
people have their way" 1t is also said
ne is satisfied the people demand the
passage of the Morgan resolution
recognizing Cuban belligerency, and
that when it comes to him he will sign
it. The Ohio Republican convention
meets this coming week and the pres
ident has let it be known to his friends
that he does not desire any repression
of sentiment there. He desires that
If the Republicans Of Ohio have any
opinion as to what should be done
about Cuba they viii express it.
If all this be true it cannot fail to
lower the president in the estimation
of the people, for upon every part of it
all there are the marks of the dema-
gogue. 1t would be almost if not quite
impossible to conceive of anything
that could be more demagogic than for
the president of the United States to
say: Let the people have their way"
They do, and they express their will
through the channels provided by the
constitution and the laws made in
pursuance thereof. q When they elect
a president and congress they expect
them TO shape the policy of the gov
eminent, and they do not expect them
to be continually appealing to an i'm
provised referendum. Does President
Mckinley intend TO shape his policy,
both domestic and foreign, according
to every political breeze that blows?
If he is going to shape his Cuban
policy on the theory Let the people
have their way" he will favor the
recognition of Cuban independence
rather than Cuban belligerency. The
presidents policy in this matter is not
to be condemned but his manner of
determining it. 1t is not that of
strong man or a statesman nor of a
man devoted heart and soul to the
people and their interests. It is the
policy of a weak and vacillating man
who seeks to trim his sails to every
wind that blows. A man may gain
temporary popularity by such methods
but he will achieve nothing really
great, while he becomes a perpetual
menace to his country. Lowell said
derisively there were several spirits of
the age. It is true. Does the president
propose to subordinate his high office
to them all and direct his foreign policy
accordingly?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-06-19
ONE THING AT A TIME.

Democratic senators in charge of the
opposition to the tariff bill have served
notice upon the Republican senators
that if there is any attempt 10 pass a
bill authorizing the appointment of a
monetary commission the debate on
the tariff bill may be prolonged indefi-
nitely. This will have the effect to
prevent the introduction of any such
bill at this time.
There can be no valid objection to
the appointment of a monetary COM
mission, as it would do much to facili-
tate the settlement OF several very i'm
portant questions, but it is evident if
a bill for the authorization of such a
commission were introduced now it
would prove a stumbling block in the
pathway of the tariff bill, and this is
not desirable. The president convened
congress in extra session for a special
purpose, and it would be well for it to
confine its labors to the consideration
of that purpose. 1t is true that while
congress was convened to consider the
tariff question that question was not
the one on which the campaign was
fought and decided. The financial
question was the great issue last year
and it should have been made the chief
subject of consideration by congress in
extra session. But the president elected
otherwise, and now let him stand by
his election. Let congress get through
with the tariff first, and nothing should
be permitted TO come in that may pre-
vent this. Far more will be accom-
plished by doing one thing at a time.
After the tariff we may have the del
uge, but not before.

GAMBLING.

The city officials of Butte have been
raiding the gamblers of that town.
The sentiment of the town, which is
greatly 10 its credit. is very strong
against gambling. The Inter-Mountain
of Butte says that as a result of
twenty years experience, the business
mer and the laboringmen, those who
have means and those who work for
wages. have nearly all concluded that
playing cards for money is a losing
speculation; that it leads to poverty,
want and crime; that it makes men
careless of their obligations to their
wives and children; that it renders
them unable to pay their debts or to
live well or to wear good clothes or to
be contented; that it is business
which creates nothing, adds nothing 10
the general wealth; that indirectly it
adds greatly TO the public taxes and
that as a matter of fact there is not
one reason on earth why it should be
encouraged or allowed. IL further says
the ministers of Butte are all in favor
of its suppression, the wives and
mothers of Butte have prayed for
twenty years that the law makers
would abolish and interdict it.
Every word of the above is abso-
lutely true. Only too frequently apol-
