ON ENSIGN PEAK.

This morning the stars and stripes
will float from The Herald Flagstaff on
Ensign peak. How grand and inspiring
it win be to see Old Glory there, thir-
teen hundred feet above the city that
was founded fifty years ago. with the
blue sky for its background Artist
cally considered. there is no flag so
beautiful as the American flag. The
red, white and blue blend in perfect
harmony and appeal TO ones esthetic
sense. Then how the colors appeal to
the patrioticl Whenever the true Amer
lean beholds the flag and recalls its
history, how his heart swells with
pride, just pride.
It is fitting that on this the fiftieth
anniversary Of Utah's natal day the
flag should float from that same peak
where it foated the day the pioneers
entered this valley, planted there by
them. Who can behold that flag on
this eventful day and not feel himself
a better man, more patriotic citizen?
Flag of the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to valor given
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hueS were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard Sheet
Where breatheS the foe but falls be-
fore us.
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER

ENGLAND AND BIMETALLIsM.

! The Chicago Times-Herald, which
has the reputation of standing very
/ close to the president, comments upon
the interview of Mr.. Perry Belmont on
the question of international bimetal-
lism, and particularly upon that part
of his interview in which he says that
I'VE must not delude ourselves with
the idea that an international confer
ence means an international agreement
to establish bimetallism. The reopen
ing ~ the India minis is all that can be
expected from England and that would
not be done with view of altering
her own present currency and finan-
cial systems" The comment is as fol-
lows:
Therein lies the rock upon which our
commission muse eventually be
wrecked, conference or no %nference.
England VIII refuse to cnange her
present monetary system simply for
the purpose of pleasing the bimetal-
lists and the silver mine owners. The
present system suits the British peo-
pie; it is stable and logical, and there
never has been, and apparently never
will be, any lack of money for every
purpose of business. Why, then, should
they again experiment. with the double
standard, having once tried and re-
jected it? There have been too many
British writers and thinkers on the
subject of finance who have long since
educated the British public in the prin
ciples of correct finance for British
statesmen to return to the experimental
stage. If any demonstrable improve
mend can be made upon the gold
standard they might accept it, but it
would have to be backed by power of
logic that has never yet adorned the
arguments of the silver advocates.
Your Englishman is pretty hard
headed man, and on the money ques-
ton sentiment goes but a little way
with him. Mr.. Thomas Gradgrind is
the type of man and he wants facts.
The dollar of our fathers" awakens
no feelings of patriotism in his breast.
And above all he never pulls other
peoples chestnuts out OF the fire.
If Mr.. Belmont is right in his judg-
ment Of the situation. do not let us
look forward TO another conference
without assurances that there might be
some ratio devised uDon which Great
Britain would undertake TO maintain
the bimetaliic standard. That she will
ever agree TO 16 TO l is as hopeless to
believe as that she will surrender
Gibraltar to Spain or transfer TO
France her interest in the Suez canal
What England will do on the ques-
ton of bimetallism is very important
so long as the adoption of free COIN
age by this country is dependent upon
international agreement. If it were
not dependent upon international
agreement, then what England would
or would not do would not be
of much consequence. but it is de-
pendent upon such agreement during
the present administration, assuming
that it will adhere to the ST. Louis
platform, of which there can scarcely
be any doubt.

KEEP OFF THE POLES, BOYS.

During the Darades of the past few
days the small boy that bane and
blessing of society, has been climbing
up the electric light poles to get bet
ter view of the procession. His energy
rather than his judgment is TO be com
mended.
First of all parents should positively
forbid their boys to climb the poles,
and if that does not determ them, then
they should be arrested by the police;
and this for their good solely. 1t would
be almost impossible for them to find a
place from which to review the parades
that is so fraught with danger to them;
they might almost as well sit on an
open key of powder and smoke a Gig
arctic. If they ever come in contact
with a live wire, they are dead. And
it would be no ones fault but their
own; the company on whose poles they
met death would il no way be liable.
Parents, tell your boys they must
keep off the poles carrying electric
wires Boys. keep off these poles that
your parents may not be called upon
to mourn your untimely death.

D1NeLEY's POOR EXCUSE.

Mr.. Dingley objected to the stamp
tax on stock transactions, on the
grounds that the sales on Wall street
could not be followed. No record is
kept. The machinery of collection
with the argument always used when
a tax obnoxious to the wealthy classes
is to be killed; it is the same kind of
argument that was used against the
income tax; and it always seems to
be successful
1t is the sheerest nonsense to say
that the sales on Wall street could not
be followed. It is one of the simplest
things in the world, and if no such
transactions were valid without the
stamp attached there would be very
few without the stamps attached to
the certificates.
If the newspapers can get the num-
Der of shares sold each day on the
stock exchange, why cannot the gov
eminent? Last Monday there were sold
on the New York stock exchange 49,,
462 shares of the American Sugar
company; 1870 shares of the Ameri--
can Tobacco company; 1897 shares of
Atchison preferred; 1920 shares of
Burlington & Quincy; 1876 shares Of
Chicago & Great Western, and so on.
Would there have been any trouble in
ascertaining these facts by the gov.
eminent? None in the least.
1t is strange thing, and it makes
the people ponder, that whenever a
tax that affects the moneyed interest
is suggested the tax is rarely imposed
and that SO many good soqhistical
reasons are found by those who should
be more directly concerned for the
public welfare for not imposing the
tax. Champions for this interest are
never lacking, but when it is pro-
posed that tax shall be imposed
which affects the people who depend
upon their labor for their living, it is
rare that a champion arises who points
out how difficult such a tax is OF col
lection. The taxes for the general gov
eminent seem 10 be laid on the theory
that to him who hath shall be given
and from him that hath not shall be
taken away.
Chairman Dingley appears TO have
proceeded in this matter on the theory
that a poor excuse is better than none.

all timely. Among other things it says:
ut is not difficult to imagine what
the Mormon pioneers thought, when,
standing upon the border of the val
lev. they looked for the first time upon
the beautiful landscape spread before
their feet. There are not in the whole
world many views so enchanting, and
to those pilgrims with longing hearts
and weary feet it must have appeared
like a vision of promised land, such
as the Israelites went forth from Egypt
to seek. 1t was to them haven OF
refuge. and it appeared all the more
delightful in their eyes because relig-
ious faith made them accept the declar-
alton that it was the land which Brig
ham Young had seen in vision.
They found it a desert. In few
years they made it flow with Elilk and
honey. They did not hesitate long to
fill the valley with bitches to reclaim
the soil and thereby provide sustenance
for themselves and their families 1t
was a religious community. dependent
industrialiy upon agriculture, which
was founded. It's material growth was,
therefore, slow. The mines were neg
Iected. There was no great rush of
miners and prospectors as there was a
few years later TO California, and, later
still, to Colorado and Montana. The
population preserved its peculiar relig-
ious character until Mormonism had
struck it's roots so deep into Utah's soil
that it is the controlling factor there
today.
