dependent candidates they received but
an insignificant vote. These assertions,
founded as they are on fact, or what ap
pears to be fact, are likely to prove exceed
ingly potent in deciding the future poll
oy of the Democratic party, and of course
they make for the Chicago platform, free
silver and all. The only way the gold
Democrats could have rescued their party
from the clutches of Organism was by
continuing to vote against it until it for
mally renounced all sympathy
with that heresy. If on
Tuesday they had done as they did
last year, and voted either for gold
Democrat or Republican candidate,
they would have greatly weakened Bry-
ans grip, for there are many signs that
the farmer vote has been falling away
from silver, and hence, without the gold
Democratic voters of the cities, the Dem
ooratio showing would have been SO poor
that the rank and file would have dis
trusted the winning power of the Chicago
platform, and there would have been
some chance of turning them away from
1t. Now, however, flushed as they are by
partial success, they will insist that the
fight be continued along that line, and
the opponents of the Chicago platform
will be powerless to offer any effective
resistance. By yielding to party ties
the Gold Democrats have fastened the
Bryan collar around the neck of their
party to stay there until 1900.

The London Chronicle, which is get
ting to be about as sensational as some
of the yellow journals of New York, de-
clares that it has reliable authority for
the statement that Spain preparing for
eventualities with the United States,
signed contracts last week for the option
of purchasing certain completed, or near
ly completed, cruisers in British ship
yards" According to the same authori-
ty, Spain has discovered new sources of
revenue and is about to negotiate a large

CYANIDE OF POTASSIUM.

The Tribune says that cyanide Of

ISIS secret which transforms the other
wise valueless low gold grade ores Of
our mountains from worthless rubbish
into material of inestimable value,
ana Il IS of vital interest that the ma
terials be supplied at the very lowest
rates. because much of the ore at best.
Yields but an ininitesimal profit per

gress of the United States. doubtless
unacquainted with this fact. has laid
heavy duty upon the chemical, and
Tor this reason it calls the attention Of
the Trans Mississippi congress to the
Importance of demanding that the
present conference committee of the
national congress shall not advance
the rate beyond the 121S cents per

eeeds to say that this demand is not

the enterprising wage-earner and the
cautious capitalist, who understand and
carry on our majestic mining industry,
tana to Mexico. but directly in the in
terest of that metal on the volume and
production Of which the property of
the commercial world Gibbs and flows.
There is nothing to except to in all
that save that the maximum rate
named by our contemporary is far too
high, for ii is 80 per cent of the fair
foreign market price of cyanide of po-
tassium. This proposed duty of 1215
cents a pound being an ad valorem rate
Of 50 per cent. is double what it is
under the present tariff law. and is
a direct Encouragement TO the gold

protectionists, ii is the foreigner who
pays the tax, a theory of which our
contemporary is a staunch advocate. |

ENDOWMENT OF CHILDREN.

Elizabeth Bisland's article in the
current number of the North Ameri-
can Review, entitled, Are American
Parents Selfsh?" has started a discus
sion of the question in the columns of
the New York World. One correspond
ent writes as follows:
I have two sons. have spent S25, 900
IN educating one of them, and am
spending a like amount in advocating
the other.
The one already educated has stepped
at once into professional employment
which makes him independent for life.
The other 1 have no doubt will do as
well.
Now. would it have been better to
educate these boys less thoroughly and
10 have given them the extra money
as a start in life?"
I think not, whatever Miss Bisland
thinks. o. Is.
New York, July II.
What this man has done for one son
and proposes to do for another is no
criterion 10 go by as to whether edu-
cation is the best endowment for a
child. Education of children at s25. 900
apiece is simply an impossiblity for all
but the exceedingly rich; that sum
alone is a competence which the great,
great majority can ever hope to at
tain.
This man who has educated one son
at an expense of $4,000 says that son
has stepped into professional employ
ment which makes him independent. If
he has, did ne not do it because his
father was able to expend S25, 900 on
his education rather than because his
talents and ability commanded the po-
sition? Had he been the son of a man
in moderate circumstances, with pre-
cisely the same abilities and education
he now possesses, could he have
stepped into professional employment
which makes him Independent for life?
No one viii believe he could, though
be might be in every resnect worthy
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-07-16

OF the confidence reDosed in him and
the place he now fills.
This father asks if it would have
been better to educate his boys less
thoroughly and to have given them the
extra money as a start in life" In
this particular case probably not, but
the question that naturally. arises is
whether these two boys could not have
been just as thoroughly educated at
cost of not over a fourth or a fifth
of the sum their education did cost.
When children quit the parental roof
and start in the world for themselves
only this is certain: that no hard and
fast rule can be laid down for their
success. All may have had equal
chances as to education and equal
financial assistance. yet some viii sue
coed and some viii fail. The hard
earned and religiousiy saved money
that is TO help start the young man
or young woman in life may soon all
be spent and the possessor of it
stranded. while the careful and thor
ough education may be of no avail.
Life is struggle for existence. and
the fttest survives, but there is no
way of determining which is the fit
test save through the struggle.

AMERICAN DIPLOMATS.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that when Charles DENLY passed
through San Francisco on his way 70
assume the position of American min
lister at Picking, his ignorance of China
and the Chinese was the subject of
comment by all who met him; that in
the u years that Mr.. DENLY has spent
in China he has gained much informa-
ton and considerable diplomatic SKILL
but his successor, who comes from
Minneapolis, viii probably have TO be-
gin at the foundation. The Chinese and
japanese missions ought to be given
to men who are familiar with oriental
life and customs, says the Chronicle,
and who are known to some leading
men in those countries; and that if this
policy were pursued we should not al
ways be distanced in the struggle for
trade and worsted in diplomacy.
All that is true, and while it is no
doubt a more difficult task to acquire a
knowledge of the oriental languages
and the life and customs Of the orien-
tails, than of the European languages
ard Of the life and customs of the oc-
cidentals. still this knowledge of their
languages and their ways is not to be
obtained at all thoroughly in four
years. Yet it is the practice of the
government to change its diplomatic
representatives every time there is a
change of administration. The conse-
quence is that the country is not ade-
quately represented. and it suffers in
This government has had
ministers abroad who were the equals
of the diplomatic representatives of
any country at any time. but this has
rot always been the rule One reason
is. not that the men sent abroad are
not the equal in ability, as rule. of
those whom they meet, but that they
have had no training for the perform
ance of the duties peculiar to their of
fee; and just as they are beginning to
get thoroughly familiar with them, so
that they are at no disadvantage, some
one is sent to take their places. as
they were sent to take the places of
their predecessors. And so it goes, and
so it will continue to go, most prob
ably.
The case of Minister DENLY is no
exception to the rule; it merely serves
to show the contrast between what is
and what should be.

1t was very happy remark that
Mr.. Bryan made yesterday about be-
ing impressed with the value of water
in the west. Without it the west would
be nothing, and were there an album
dance for all parts of the west, it
would be everything. This state is
very well blessed in this particular,
and still it may be doubted if its re-
sources in this regard are as we'll hus-
banded as they could be. In the spring,
when the SHOWS are melting, millions
and millions of gallons Of water run
to waste each day for weeks and
weeks. Some day all this water may
be husbanded in reservoirs, but that
day is not close at hand, for fairly
complete system of reservoirs means
the expenditure of millions of dollars,
an expenditure the people are now in
no position to undertake. AS Rome
was not built in day. neither can a
great state, with all its resources util-
lied to the best advantage, be in the
great west or elsewhere. But that of
which we dream today will be realized
by our descendants. He who does not
plan and build for future generations
does not plan and build for a great
commonwealth.

The Kansas CITY Star thinks that in
