WHO THE GENTLEMAN IS.

Galveston has one of the most elo-
quent orators on the continent. His
name is Pericles Napoleon Harris. He
made a speech the other day that is
receiving marked attention from
southern papers. Here is an excerpt
from it:
An American citizen asks who is Mr..
Polk? He is a scion of one OF the
noblest families that ever reflected
credit upon the American nation.
Every drop of blood in his veins has
been handed down to him from Revo-
lutionary sires, from men who were
great in the colonial days of our
country, who rebelled against the
tyranny of King George. From North
Carolina, through Franklin. down to
Tennessee, where he was born, amid
the blue ethereal hills of that land
made classic in song and story by its
lofty mountains and its pure air, where
its crystal waters leap from rock to
rock down its mountain sides like a
cataract of diamonds rejecting back
with redoubled splendor the glories of
the monday sun, comes Mr.. Polk;
where the women are as fair as the
water they drink, and as pure as the
air they breathe; where the men are
as brave as their own mountain lions,
as true to the instincts and as stern
in their integrity as the native ada
mant. From such a family. such a
country, and such surroundings comes
the man whom Tennessee has present
ed TO Texas, Lucius ]. Polk, now gen.
eral manager of the Santa Fe railroad,
who tenders you the courtesies of his
road.
When a man has the blood in his
veins handed down to him one natural
ly wonders how he got it into his
veins after it was handed down to him.
Except as to having his blood handed
down to him nothing definite is said of
Mr.. Polk. One can see the blue
ethereal hills ethereal hills are a most
unusual thing and exist only in Ten
nessee) and the cataracts of diamonds
and all that, and we are told that
Mr.. Polk comes from the country
where these things are common, but
just what manner of man he is ii is
impossible TO say. Orator Harris ap-
pears to belong to the impressionist
school, while from the impression con-
veyed by him there can be but one
other man in the whole country, in
Guiding Galveston, who can compare
with Mr.. Polk for natural abilities and
deep culture. This is Mr.. Temple
Houston. How easily are heroes made
by those who have the gift of CAB!

MOTIVE POWER FROM COTTON
WOOD.

Yesterday the cars of the Salt Lake
City Street railway were run By a
current of electricity generated by the
Utah Power comDany's works at the
mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon. The
gentlemen who conceived and worked
out the scheme of the Utah Power
company are the chief owners of the
Salt Lake City Street railway system.
They are to be congratulated upon the
completion of their enterprise, which
is = magnificent one.
Yesterday marks the Inauguration Of
new and important era in the level-
opment of enterprises in Utah depend
ent upon electricity as a motive power.
It means the eventual utilization of
the water power of the state for the
generation of electricity TO be used as
a motive power for all street railway
systems, and no doubt in time for the
regular railway service, for the indi-
cations all are that electricity will vet
supplant steam on railroads.
In the matter of utilizing the water
power of the state for the purpose of
SEAtT2lllS G4tCtI4OAt~ u DG uSCQ Oli
street railways. the Utah Power COM
PAW is the pioneer in the state. And
it is a great distinction to be the pio-
neer in an- industrial innovation. as
this is. Tt is always easy to follow
where others have broken the road;
the breaking of the road is the thing
that is so difficult and that so often
deters men from going ahead.
The promoters of this enterprise de-
serve and have the thanks of the peo-
pie CT this city. They also merit
financial success. and are entitled to
the encouragement of the people. Such
enterprises require a large capital, and
the putting Of them into successful
operation calls for many sacrifices of
which the public knows nothing May
this enterprise meet with that measure
of prosperity it merits so much.

GENERAL LEE AND CUBAN
AFFAIRS.

The news of Consul-General Lees
resignation has made public anxiety
regarding Cuban matters intense in the
extreme. This is caused by the very
uncertainty of everything. The people
do not know whether General Lee has
resigned or not, so contradictory are re-
ports. while the state department is
reticent, neither affirming nor denying
rumors- It probably will not be very
long before the country will have defin-
tie and authentic information regarding
everything. Until such information is
had all that there is to be done is to
wait patiently; this the people seem
inclined to do.
If it shall prove to be true that
Consul-General Lee has resigned be-
cause he deemed the protection af-
forded American citizens in Cuba
wholly inadequate and the administra-
ton was appealed to for further protec-
ton and it was refused, it is by no
means impossible that a crisis may be
brought on. General Lee has been
conservative. He has the full conf
dence of the people, and they believe
him to be a careful and impartial OBJ
server; whatever judgment upon the
treatment of American citizens in
Cuba he may pronounce will be ac-
cePted by them without hesitation or
question. If he says that American
citizens have been maltreated and out
ragged by the Spaniards; their rights
disregarded and trampled upon;
in
suited, they will believe every
word he says, and believing what
he says they will demand that Spain
make speedy and ample apology and
PREPARATION; and they will insist that
this demand be backed up with all the
military and naval resources of the
country. And Major McKinley's adj
ministration will hardly be able, if it
shall have any inclination, to resist the
demand
All this, of course, is on the SUPPOSE
ton of what Consul General Lee may
say. Sight should not be lost of the
fact that in the past many attempts
have been made by the more active
and ardent sympathizers of Cuba to
stampede the country, there having
been several carefully laid plans to
accomplish this purpose. They have
failed, and today the temper of the
country is such that no stampede is
probable, while there is manifest every
where disposition to ascertain what
the actual facts are and to carefully
weigh them before acting upon them.
This is as it should be.

any contest in Ohio for the senatorship

the Republican party of Ohio is firmer
than any other mans in the Buckeye
state.
Hanna proved himself to be the great
boss the Enquirer SAYS he was. Per-
haps no man in all the country knows
better than he the power of money
in politics. He is believed TO have had
a very practical, extensive and success
full experience in that line. The En-
quirer closes its article as follows:
But yesterday Foraker and Bushnell
seemed to be the masters of the situa-
ton. The governor could have given
Foraker 2 colleague who would have
compelled fair treatment of the For
aker-Bushnell faction by President Nc
Kinley. Today Bushnell surrenders;
his entire spine seems to have been
extracted, and he serves as a mere
stepping stone on which the trium-
plant Hanna mounts to the seat OF Mr..
Sherman. Has Bushnell deserted For
aker2 Or has Mark Hanna agreed to
support Bushnell for the long term in

the next two years2 Time alone can
answer these questions.
All we have to say is that the humil-
iation of Bushnell and oraker is COM
-lete unless it shall hereafter be DEM
onstrated that they merely stopped to
conquer.
Would the Enquirer have it under
stood that yesterday the word of Fora
ker and Bushnell might have stood
against the world, but that today there
is none so poor to do them reverence?

A SUPPOSED MURDERED MAN
RETURNS.

The question of the abolition or re-
state has been somewhat prominent of
late, but has finally been disposed of so
far as the present legislature is con-
cerned, and we do not propose to dis
cuss it pro or con, but simply to in
stance a case where a man was con-
victed of murder who was not guilty.
Twenty-Five years ago Joseph Muir
dock of Scott county, Va, disappeared
very suddenly and it was believed that
he had been murdered. Suspicion fas-
tened itself upon one Bud Lindsay.
He was arrested, tried and convicted, all
his protestations that he was innocent,
all the evidence he could adduce, avail
ing him nothing The corpus delecti
was not proved and so Murdoch was
sentenced to Imprisonment and not to
death To prison he went and there
he spent 81 years of his life. Recently
Lindsay died. He died with the mark
of the murderer upon him, his name
blasted, his life wasted. Now comes
the sequel. The man whom he was
supposed to have murdered and for
whose death he spent his life in prison
has returned TO his old home. The
cloud is lifted from Lindsays name
but he sleeps il the cold ground where
good and bad fame are alike matters of
Indifference to him. No reparation can
be made him. 1t is true he was not
executed, but he might as well have
been, for he was entombed alive.
The case is an argument against
capital punishment, but it does not
justify the old saying that it is better
a hundred guilty men escape than
that one innocent man suffer. When the
Innocent suffer it is a matter of deep
regret but there viii always be some
injustice in the enforcement of laws
for the protection of society, for human
Justice is not perfect; all that can be
done is TO reduce injustice to min
imum. Justice far oftener miscarries
against society than against the indi-
vidual; that it does sometimes mis-
carry against the latter is clearly
shown in the above case. Such cases
are inevitable, but they are very, very
rare. Nor should their occasional oc-
currence deter juries from bringing in
verdicts in criminal cases when the
evidence is circumstantial but still
strong.
