tend friendship for silver, but think
it is not wise" for this country TO
undertake independent free coinage.
Mr.. Gage is not OF these.
Our gold friends utterly fail to dis
tinguish between principle and preju-
dice. The silver men do not dislike or
object to the gold men as men; what
they dislike and object to is the finan-
cial policy of these men; that is all.
The silver men can condemn a prin-
ciple or policy and still respect those
who advocate it; they have the power
of distinguishing between men and
measures. Apparently the gold men
have not this power. Who disputes
that the selection of Mr.. Gage to be
secretary of the treasury of the United
States lis strictly in line with the
directions of the great majority of the
voters" Surely, not the silver men.
They are not Kicking" they simply
bide their time.

The Spanish minister, Senior Dupuy
oe Lone, says the Cuban question may
be considered dead so far as the United
States congress and public opinion in
America are concerned. He may he
right: we think he is mistaken. There
is not such a fever of excitement over
the Cuban question as there was just
before the holidays. but interest in it
is dead by no means. One reason why
it is so quiescent now is that the peo-
pie are anxiously awaiting the adj
vent of the next administration.
Everybody knows and realizes that the
present administration is going to do
nothing that will embarrass the in
coming one: but that does not mean
that the new administration will con-
slider as dead all the issues that arose
under the one that preceded it Senior
de LONE appears TO think that it does.
When Major Mckinley is ensconced
in the presidential chair, the now Ia
tent sentiment of the country in favor
of Cuba will be aroused again and
will undoubtedly demand that some
thing be done in behalf of the gallant
Cubans who are struggling for free
dom. American sympathy for all who
are struggling for freedom win not
down.

SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.
Held in the Fourteenth Ward Assem-
bly, Rooms Last Evening.


A large and enthusiastic gathering
of Sabbath school workers, superin-
tendents and teachers met last even
ing in the Fourteenth ward assembly
rooms. All the city schools were we'll
and largely represented, as also were
the schools of Brighton, both schools,
Cannon. Big Cottonwood, East Mill
Creek, East Jordan, Farmers, Forest
Dale, Grangerr Herman, Sandy, I'm
ion, MILFORD.
Stake Superintendent L. c. Griggs
presided, and the opening prayer was
offered by Elder James r. Hay.
Excellent singing was rendered by
members of the Sixteenth ward school,
under the direction of George H
Thomas.
superintendent Griggs stated that the
beautiful silver sacramento service.
formerly used by the Model Sunday
school, and later by the deaf mute
school. was at present unused, and its
use was offered now as a prize to be
competed for by all the schools of the
stake, having an enrolment of 800 and
over which showed the highest aver
age attendance for 1896; the successful
school would retain use of it for n
year, when it would be again awarded,
upon the conditions above stated. 1t
was hoped that the average attendance
would thus be augmented.
1t was further announced that Feb.
Is was set apart as Humane day,
on which kindness to animals and all
dumb creatures should be inculcated.
In the afternoon of the same day. the
children Of the city Sabbath schools
would assemble in the tabernacle to do
honor TO President MILFORD Woodruff,
on the occasion of the anniversary of
his 90th birthday.
Owing TO i'll health, G.. NJ. Mumford
principal OF the second intermediate
department, sent in his resignation,
which was accepted with regret. Hor
ace Cummings will take temporary
charge of this department.
The meeting at this juncture divided
into the usual departments. Professor
Willard Done addressed the higher de-
partment. Horace Cummings the sec
Ond, and William Bradford the first in
termediate departments. The primary
department was presided over by B. w.
Ashton. Each of the principals were
ably assisted.
An interesting discussion was had in
the first intermediate department upon
the question of maintaining of
order ard decorum in the schools-in
answer to the query: When does the
teachers duty and responsibility be-
gin?' The prevailing opinion vas that
his duties began Immediately upon his
entering the school. The suDerintend-
ent should not be expected to maintain
order alone. but he should work
through the teachers. Many sugges-
lions We're offered as to the best man
ner of handling incorrigible pupils: TO
keep them from disturbing others; to
give them something else to do: TO
separate unruly spirits, or falling in
these, to get order and attention; enlist
the aid and sympathy of the parents.
The Seventeenth ward school will
furnish music at the next meeting of
the Union. one month hence.
Benediction was pronounced by Elder
j. H. Parry, and the meeting adjourned.

THE PRELIMINARY HEARING Collins and Frazer to Be Tried
 Thursday. BOTH IN THE COUNTY JAIL The Crush at the Jail Was Great and People Had to Be Ordered Away-Ex-
 element at BesSemer.
BOTH IN THE COUNTY JAIL

Tom Collins, who shot and killed J. l.. Howell in a cell at the city prison at Bes- semer on Monday evening last and Hugh Frazier, charged with being an accessory to the crime, both of whom were arrested and brought to the county jail in this city, will be given preliminary trial before Justice of the Peace Tillman, of Bessemer, who will probably sit in the city in con- junction with a local justice.
 On account of the feeling expressed in Bessemer against the men, it was thought wise to hold the preliminary trial here, which will take place Thursday.
 The rush at the jail became so great yes- terday morning that the sheriff issued or ders allowing no one to enter who did not have urgent business.
 In the afternoon Collins was taken to room in the sheriff's department in the court house, where he held a long consulta- ton with his attorney, James Trotter, of Bessemer.
 Collins is a man 56 years of age, with iron grey hair.

TRAD NC STAMP" PLAN,
Birmingham Merchants, it is Believed, Will
 Not Take to the Idea.

The trading stamp" scheme, which has been put in practice in some of the north ern states, has reached Birmingham. It is a ~nd of gift scheme, which in many states of the north has not proven at all successful. In some states legislation has been enacted against it. At Washington the commissioners of the District of Columbia have positively prohibited the trading stamp people from doing business in that city. According to the Dry Goods Econo- mist, some of the largest merchants in the Knitted States are by no means favorable to the trading stamp idea. Many of them claim that it looks well upon paper, but that 1t is of no benefit to a merchant or a merchants customers. The persons most benefited, they claim. are those who are interested in the trading stamp plan. From the best information obtained yesterday. it seems that few if any of the Birmingham merchants will take part In the scheme They naturally argue that if 1t could be Of any interest to them their customers they would, of course, look upon It with a considerable degree of favor; but as they have so far been unable to see any partic- ular merit in it, they are not inclined to adopt it.
 The following well-known merchants of Birmingham, together with many others, have decided not to engage with the trade stamp people: Loveman, Joseph & Loeb; T. c. King, Caheen Bros., Smith Shoe com- pany, Louis Saks, J. L. Chalifoux & Co.,, Kemper &, Co.,, Ham Shoe Store, Smith 6 Montgomery, J. Blach & Sons, Collins Shoe
