THE SALT LAKE HERALD: MONDAY. NOVEMBER 8,

indicted into Office than he convened
congress in extra session to deal with
the tariff question. And how it was
dealt with. The most infamous tariff
law that was ever engendered in the
brain of man was enacted and the peo-
pie turned over TO the nlonopolies and
trusts to be preyed upon. And the
people are already resenting such treat
ment The people also realize that
they nave the gold standard as we'll
as the highest tariff ever enacted and
that Notwithstanding all this the great
promised prosperity has not come, and
that there is no chance whatever that
the administration will be able to do
anything looking to the restoration of
silver as a monetary metal through
any international agreement.
1t is true that last year a majority
of the American people voted against
the free and Independent coinage of
silver, but this year they are beginning
to realize that they were deceived,
either by themselves or by others. II
the elections of last Tuesday signify
anything it is that the issues of the
presidential election are still living ones
and that they will be these of the con-
gressional electors of 1898 and Of the
presidential one in 1900. In November,
earth, but in November, 1897, it, like
Antaeus, came up stronger for its con-
tact with mother earth.

The Chicago Times-Herald doesn't
think much of General Miles views
as expressed in his anarchy interview
1t says: But if General Niles scare
is justified why should the government
building alone be turned into q fort
ress? There is good deal Of money
in the treasury, but there is a
good deal more in some of the big
banks and safety deposit vaults around
town Why should they not be forti-
fed? Why wouldn't it be a good plan
to dig a ditch around the First Ma
tionai bank and protect the treasure
with banquettes, parapet, scarp and
counterscarp? Why doesn't the depos-
itor who goes to the bank to put away
his money or the debtor to pay his note
look into the unaniable eye of a Maxim
or Hotchkiss gun? Why is Fort Sheri-
dan twenty-five miles away instead of
being right down on the lake front ~
No doubt the general would do all this
n time, but he must have time.

Franklin MacVeagh, of Chicago,
speaking of the recent election in New
York and the Citizens Union move
ment, the other day said:
My faith in national party govern
ment as applied to municipal govern
ment is strengthened by the news from
New York. | do not say that the fail
ure of the citizens movement is to be
approved. but that the movement is
foolish; that it has as great q chance
for victory as the child has in crafty
Ing its desires when crying for a slice
of the moon. I do not speak of gov
eminent as it should be, and as the
vital elements at work in our govern
ment will demand. Ny opinion is that
national party government should be
the force in municipal government I'M
Internationally.
THE citizens' movement is a jack-o'-
lantern thing, which is in degree
made up Of idolatry for man, but is
mostly unselfish. The whole thing
might be summed UP thus: There must
be parties in municipal government.
Now, if by any manner of means the
national parties are taken out of mu-
nicipal politics, two other parties will

a Bows Idea of Piracy.

Frank R. Stockton, in November st.
Nicholas, on The Buccaneers of our
Coast" When I was a boy L strongly
desired to be pirate, and the reason for
this was the absolute independence of that
sort of life. Restrictions of all sorts had
become onerous to me, and in my reading
of the adventures of the bold sea rovers

those portions of pirates life which

TALES OF THE DAY.



Michigan Times: 1t is related with ex-
oaIent touches of realism by a local rail-
road man mat some years ago in Omaha
his road sold a round trip ticket for a
CORPSE.
He was sitting in the general office one
day when in shambed a meek looking
darby.
How do. Mistah D. said he with
a bow and scrape.
How are you, sir. What can I do for
wy, Mistah D.. kahn you tell me
what am de rate 20 Linco.n?"
''$1.65.'
Vel, what might be de round trip
rate?'
$3.50 That was easily answered.
Does yo' make diffunce fo' % peo-
ple?''
No; it's the same rate, no matter how
many CO.
Well. Mistah D, look heah. What
am de rate from Lincoln w to Omaha?'
'M.65"
What is de rate fo' a corpze?"
'':1.65."
Wen, now; what's de round trip rate
why, 1 guess it would be $3.50. But
what do you want to carry a corpse
around the country in that way for?"
Well. Mistah D, you see ives kim
O tied up. One of ouah membehs of de
Daugntahs of Ruth and Sons of Abraham

but 1T costs too much money TO EN- all
to come to Omaha So, if de round trip
rate TO a corpse is $3.50, We'll take de
deceased down TO Lincoln an put him on
exhibition, an bring him back to Omaha
fo' de berrial. JUS make out a ticket

WHAT IKE ELECTIONS SIGNIFY

In the course Of a long article on
the general result Of Tuesdays cleo
tons, the New York Evening Post
says:
No one can doubt that these elections
have given a fresh impetus to Bryan
ism. They make it certain that the
next elections. congressional and presi-
Dental, will be fought on that issue.
What can be done to check the onset
of is 20 ~
This is the conclusion of a paper that
is usually a shrewd observer of politi-
cal events, and as We see it the con-
clusion is a correct one.
1t is true that it is an ''off' year but
It is also true that it is a remarkably
Democratic year. Everywhere the
Democrats have either been victorious
or have made remarkable gains. And
what does this mean? Simply that the
people are not satisfied with the adj
ministration, and nothing else. 1t is
not far to trace the cause of this dis
satisfaction. In a measure it is like
1892 he won on the tariff issue and so
soon as ne was indicted into office he
called congress together to deal with
the money question, a thing that had
been of secondary Importance in the
campaign. The result was that Mr..
Cleveland became the most unpopular
man in the country, while in his own
party his name became a hiss and a
bvwcrd.
In 1896 Mr.. Mckinley won on the
financial issue and he was no sooner

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York World The defeat of Judge
Wallace is probably the greatest political
revolution ever wrought in any state in
one year. New York went Republican one
year ago by 26S, 469 plurality. The returns
at the time of this writing Indicate Judge
Parker's election by about $4,000 majority
Baltimore American: In looking back
it is plain to anyone that the Republican
victory shows the very unusual strength
of the party In this city. 1t would be
exhibits the real cleavage between the two
parties for in the Republican totals are
many Democratic votes 1t is a genuine
tribute to the independents that N spite
of Wellington and his miserable course
they stuck to the cause of reform.
Chicago Dispatch: One fact has been
clearly demonstrated by the elections and
that is the enlarged growth of silver SEN
timent. However much the Republican
editors may strive to ignore the conclus-
ion, there remains no doubt that the dis
satisfaction of the people with gold mono
metaliSm was at the bottom of Republican
defeat
Washington Post: Bishop Potter was so
forgot to register himself Bishop Potter l5
should avoid this intensity in his work
OF advising people how to get to heaven.
Springfield Republican: One of the IL
linois courts has decided that under the
Australian ballot system a voter cannot
be compelled to disclose for whom he
voted. It IS stated that this principle of
law holds good even when the legality of
an election is questioned in court pro-
ceedinss, and when knowledge of how
certain voters cast their ballots is neces-
more than saving that when the law
creates a secret ballot the law intends
that the ballot snail indeed be secret
was decidedly the issue. 1t is claimed
that never before in the history OF that
commonwealth has a campaign been car
ried on with more enthusiasm and energy
than has this ore. The free silver aues-
ton was the chief topic of d3scuss:c1 in
the state at large. 1t won, and Kentucky
stands redeemed from Republicanism and
! self again.

able thing. If national parties are
abolished in municipal affairs others
will spring up TO take their places and
