Last nights games completed the
first half of the season in the Carroll
Club bowling tournament and the in
terest taken, though surprising, as this
line Of exercise or sport has Jagged
heretofore, is still undated. There
were no postponed games in the half
season of seven weeks just ended, and a
marked improvement is noticeable in
the strings of the new accessions to
the ranks of bowlerdom. The teams
are nicely punched, and the next half
of the series promises to be very in
teresting. This tournament has been
the means of affording the incest kind
of socability among the members. and
gives the large membership of the Car
roll Club an excellent opportunity to
become better acquainted with each
other, as there is always from 20 to 90
spectators. and on Thursday evenings

/ allie is not entitled to the coveted
poison but owes alike to himself and
to society the duty of survival
Those who read the newspapers do
not need to be told that suicide, like
insanity, is steadily increasing. This
is due in large part to the severe strain
OF our methods of life. We do every
thing at high pressure and with little
relaxation. The struggle for wealth
and position is so fierce and eXacting
that the strongest faculties are not al
ways equal to the task, and so it is not
TO be wondered at that weaker brains
frequently lose their balance and leave
men at the mercy of irrational i'm
pulses.
Moreover we cannot be sure that the
reasons given for these self-killings are
the only moving considerations. The
heart knoweth it's own bitterness and
does not always reveal the whole story
of trial, defeat and misery. There are
secrets and mysteries in the matter
that we cannot understand. But the
supreme fact remains that a surrender
to sinister forces in any stress Of mis-
fortune is a grave mistake and Vlo-
lation of solemn duty.
Things are, happily, so ordered in
the scheme of the universe that there
is another chance for every one who
fails. 1t is not necessary to give up
in our favor at particular time or for
a particular purpose. We are not
obliged to yield our right of existence
because it is Knocked by interpoSing
disaster and sorrow. The true and
manly course is to go on trying for
success, in spite of all drawbacks and
disappointments. That is what we are
placed here for and we cannot afford
to do otherwise.
The plea of despair, in short, is not
a valid one where the opportunity of
further effort is provided, and the hope
of final triumph is not taken away
while life remains.
Certainly these are not the views
of man who would seek to escape
the ills Of this world by a resort to
suicide. They are, rather, the words
of a man who believed in battling in
this life until death in natural form
stepped in and stopped the battle, and
who had firm faith in a life beyond
the grave.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1900.

Inc people are anxious that the re-
SUIT OF the last campaign on the bust
ness interests of the country shall be
made known before they enter upon
anooher campaign. What the result of
change of administration with it's
changed policy will be, no one can
/ say; the administration hasn't come
INTO power the new policy has not
been inaugurated. The people do not
want any campaigning in behalf of
any policy at present; they are tired
OF political agitation and want rest.
Are they to have it?
A prominent Republican of Oregon
has been in Cleveland to urge upon
Chairman Hanna the necessity of an
immediate and aggressive commence
ment of the campaign of 1900 He
seems to have been we'll satisfied with
the result Of his mission, for he states
that he found Mr.. Hanna was in full
sympathy with this view, and had al
ready taken steps towards that end.
The campaign of 1900 will be fought
upon the issues that NAV be para
mount in that year What they will
Oe' no one can say; they viii develop
between now and then. But why
Should Mr.. Hanna be so anxious now
about an immediate and aggressive
commencement of the campaign of
1900? If it is commenced now it will
involve the necessity of those who are
opposed to the policy he represents
beginning theirs, for aggressive move
InRntS cidn e.;
get aggressive movement on the other.
If Mr.. Hanna is reported correctly,
the best thing he can do is to recon-
slider his determination about begin
ming the campaign of 1900 forthwith.
Nobody wants campaign now; the
people would take no interest in one.
For some time to come the people and
the business interests of the country
need the rest cure more than ANYTHING
else

WESTERN DEMAND FOR PRO
lection.

The manager of the Provo wooden
mills has just returned from a visit
to the east. He was in Washington
where he paid some attention to the
tariff question. In an interview in the
Provo Enquirer, Mr.. Smoot says:
The eastern manufacturers, with
well established plants, are not anxious
for high protection. In some lines
OF business they want no duty at all,
which is true of the Ames Shovel COM
pany and the Olson Saw & File COM
pany. They have well established
plants, promoted by pr otection, and do
not care for further tariff. 1t is the
west, where manufacturing is yet in
its infancy, where there should be the
greatest demand for protection"
This probably states the case as it
is. so far as many of the eastern manu-
facturers are concerned. If the indus
tries that want a low tariff, or no
tariff at all, have been thoroughly es-
tablished in this country and are now
able to compete with like industries in
other countries, the question arises
whether the government should con-
tinue its protection and encourage
ment to them until such industries can
be successfully established in every
section of the country There is some
merit in the claim that what the gov
eminent has done for one portion of
the country it should do for all; in
truth it is natural inference
Mr.. Smoot says it is in the west, where
manufacturing is yet in its infancy.
that there should be the greatest de-
mand for protection. On the theory
that it is the duty of the government
to foster infant industries in every sec /
ton of the country, no matter how
fourishing they may be in others. the !
demand for protection should certainly |
be the strongest in the west But how |
long shall the American consumer be |
made the subject of exploitation for |
the benefit of the American manufac- |
turer? That is the question. Are his /
rights always to be subordinated to |
those of the producer? If the de-
mands of those who have appeared be-
fore the ways and means committee
during the present tariff hearings are
to be granted, then the consumer is
never to come to the enjoyment of his
rights.
So long as everybody is invited to
walk up and take what they wish out
Of the pockets of the people by means
Of the tariff, just so long they will
consider that they have a vested in
terest in tariff legislation. If the east
has fed fat upon the tariff it cannot
blame the west for wanting to do the
same thing. AS it was wrong in the
first instance, so it is wrong in the
second.

M'cULLAGH ON SUICIDE.

The manner of death of the late J.
B. McCullagh, of the Globe Democrat,
has given rise as to much talk as to
whether his death was the result of
suicide or of accident. The Globe
Democrat, in its issue of Monday last.
touches upon the subject. 1t saws

the suicide assumption, and that his

are all hostile to the theory of self
destruction. Then the verdict of the
coroner's jury is cited, that verdict
being that death was accidental.
Mr.. McCullaghs views upon the
ethics of suicide were fully set forth
by him in an editorial written in 1892.
At the present time it becomes doubly
interesting. He said:
1t is related by Montaigne that in
former times there was kept in the
city of Marseilles q poison prepared

safe to say that if such a rule pre-

time few OF none would get leave to
end their own lives.

most instances, are obviously made

follows: Secretary Carlisle and SEN

New Years day, when they called to
pay their respects to the baby member
of the cabinet and his beautiful wife.
Mr. Blackburn was accompanied by
ex-senator Butler of South Carolina
and Paymaster Goodloe of the marine
corps. Mr.. Carlisle was alone and
stepped into the cioakroom Just as
these other gentlemen were leaving If
so that he and Senator Blackburn al
most collided in the doorway. It is
the first time they have met face to

the meantime each has said very bitter
things about the other. Mr.. Blackburn

BRITISH GUIANA GRoWL.

! The news comes from British Guiana
that the colonists there are greatly
dissatisfied with the treaty of arbitra-
ton arranged for by Secretary Olney
and Lord Salisbury. They say that
Salisbury was outwitted in the game
of diplomacy, which may be, but he
did not thereby surrender any of the
colonists' rights; he merely agreed to
submit the points in dispute between
Great Britain and Venezuela to arbi-
tration, nothing more. If their claims
are valid and as easy of substantiation
as they say they are, they are in no
danger If they are unjust and have
no foundation in fact, then they should
no. desire to enforce them.
The Venezuelans themselves were
very much inclined to object to the
treaty of arbitration, alleging, as the
British colonists do, that their rights
have been sacrificed thereby. At last
they came to realization of the fact
that they were making complaints
when there was no justification for
them.
There is no question that both the
N6UGZuSldIS anu the Guiana
colonists have made claims that they
cannot substantiate. Both have come
to regard the country in dispute as
very valuable because of its mineral
wealth, and particularly for its gold
mines. The value of these mines, as
of most mines where the mining in
dustry has not been developed so that
it can be called permanent, is probably
greatly exaggerated. Be that as it
may, the desire of either country to
possess them has engendered much i'll
feeling if not absolute hatred, and they
would doubtless like to have a "go"
at each other.
The dissatisfaction first of the Vene-
zuelans with the treaty and now that
of the British Guianans, is very good
evidence that the treaty of arbitration
is just and provides the best possible
means of ascertaining the actual rights
of either party. In this interesting
dispute no doubt the truth viii be
found to lie, as in most cases, between
the extremes. The dispute may now be
regarded as a closed incident, and the
growl of the British Guiana colonists
is but the echo of a strife that IS hap
PLY past.

THE NEED OF ECONOMY.

In his message TO the legislature of
Idaho. Governor Steunenberg empha
sized the fact that there was great
need of economy in public expenditures.
He declared that in the public affairs
of Idaho economy is no longer a catch
phrase to beguile the unwary or a
subterfuge to mislead, but an absolute
necessity. He very properly said that
in state affairs all appropriations
should be based upon actual needs.
That should be the rule in Utah
as we'll as in Idaho. There should be
no appropriations made by the incom-
ing legislature that are not based upon
actual needs. There is need for
economy in everything. The whole
country is today suffering because of
the great extravaganza of the past.
Appropriations by congress and by
state legislatures have been made very
largely upon the theory that eXtrava-
gance and good times were synony-
nous. Extravaganza in public eX-
penditures soon induces extravaganza
in private expenditures. And this is
a potent cause of the country's pres
ent financial depression.
Throughout the state today there is
demand for economy in public ex-
penditures. 1t results from a realiza-
ton of the necessity for it. The people
themselves have had to economist and
pinch and scrimp as never before; hard
times have compelled them to. The
legislature that meets Monday will
know Oerfpctlv we'll the ueceSSitv for.
economy in public expenditures, and
knowing it will avoid all extravaganza
The people will look to the legislature
to protect their interests and they will
not look in vain.
