DANA ON DECK.

Every once in awhile someone starts
the report that Hon. Charles A. Dana
has resigned as editor of the New York
Sun. Not long since this report was
started in New York, and for wonder
Mr.. Dana went on the warDath.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in COM
menting on Mr.. Dana's denial, says:
Some wicked people who evidently
don't know Charles A Dana, spread
the report that Mr. Dana has resigned
as editor Of the New York Sun Mr..
Dana was not patiently resigned 10
the circulation of such report. On
the contrary, he got mad about It,
trod on the office cats tail. and above
the cats agonized and wrathful yowl
rang out Mr. Danas shout, This is a
falsehood. Mr.. Dana has never been
of resigning habit. and herehy de-
clares that he has not commenced the
practice in the present case. He can
still be found deins business at the old
stand, and the man does not live who
can say that he has seen him, there or
elsewhere, turn his back either upon
friend or a foe.' !"
This is unquestionab,y case of IF
you see it in the Sun, it's So Should
Mr. Dana ever learn who first put the
report in circulation there will be an
other bad case of sun struck

ARBITRATION WINS.

That arbitration offers the speediest
and best method of settling labor dis
putes is presented in the case of the
troubles among the cotton mill oper-
atives of Atlanta, Ga. It was a deli
cate problem to handle. because ne
groes took the places of the strikers,
and the race prejudice is just as
strong in the breast of the woman
working at the loom as it is among
her more fortunate neighbors.
Throughout the whole matter wore
an ugly aspect which promised to de-
velop into graver results than the mere
wage feature which started it. At this
juncture disinterested parties stepped
in and got the strikers committee and
the president of the company together,
and once the ice was broken, it was
easy for all hands to adjourn over to
the Office of Hoke Smith and lay the
contentious of both sides before him
in dispassionate manner. Both sides
being heard and both sides agreeing
to abide the decision of the arbitrat-
or, Hoke Smith passed judgment. Now
the operatives are working instead of
striking. and if the wage is not en-
tirely satisfactory, it is better than no
wage and idleness. The right of en-
ployment should not be denied any of
Gods creatures on account of color,
and the negro has no disposition to
"scab" if he is given a fair show.
Therefore, the illustration presented is
a complete vindication of the theory of
arbitration in it's application to labor
disputes.

MIND AND VALUE.

In the convention of the Association
for the Advancement of Science. now
in session in Detroit, Professor Richard
T. Colburn had something to say on
Improvident Civilization On the
mone-- feature of his address. he said:
When we speak Of valte. equivalency.
wealth, risk, trust, distrust. panic.
prosperity, we are dealing. not with
concrete substances. like gold pieces.
out With states of mind; yet those ideas
lie at the foundation of commercial ex-
changes and monetary science
Professor Colburn is right, although
he only reiterates a condition of the
mind felt by all humanity and which
is past all philosophy. Man is but a
savage after all. and in the mind of the
civilized man. as in the mind of saw
age. there dwells the covetcus passion
t to possess that which is rare and diff
cult to obtain; therefore its rarity es-
tablishes its value. When an Indian
will swap his horse and squaw for a
pair of old false teeth in order that he
may wear them as an ornament around
his neck, Or when a Congo chief will
trade his territory for a shiny shotgun
the idiosyneracies of these savage
minds are no more STRIKING than is the
law of civilized nations fixing the value
of all things on gold.
Hence the idea of value which is the
natural consequence of this infirmity
of the human mind, impossible 10 shake
off only with death. is the foundation of
our commercial exchanges and none
tary sciences. Silver is today dishon-
ored because it is the cheaper metal.
and its use as money is an obstacle to
those who wish to control the debts Of
the world and enslave the debtors. If
in the hunt for gold, such vast deposits
be found as would discredit it. silver
would take its place as a measure of
values. If, by some trick of the
alchemist or chemical discovery. base
metals could be turned into gold and
silver, after the confusion which would
result through the disturbance of fiscal
relations. the cuDidity of man would
try to establish some other measure of
property which owed its value to rarity.
and the difficulty of obtaining it-per-
haps diamonds. And. in turn. some
other discovery might replace dia-
monds
Professor Colburn INDUCES the
thought that all the confusiorl' and dis
tress caused by the shifting of values
from one metal to another might result
in benefit TO mankind. If scientific
and more stable enumerator of values
were established. To entertain the
thought is to discover its imaossibility
of realization. The mind of man at
present is fitted only to measure values
by something tangible. and civilization
-,,ects the precious metals. Men have
attempted to create many devices and
tokens with which they have hoped TO
confer this power of admeasurement of
values upon things of their own crea-
tion-such as bills printed on paper to
circulate as money, backed by the
power of government fiat-but all their
efforts have so far been vain. and moth
ing has yet been found that can be su5-
stituted for gold and silver

the Cleveland administration. He de-
serted the Democratic party and sup
ported Mckinley on the gold standard
issue. and has been retained in Office
by the present administration on ac-
count of his hostility to silver We
trust that his expectations will be re-
allied, and that he will really learn
something by an inspection Of idle sill
yer mines that have been closed by the
policy he advocates. Judging by his
recklessness of speech in the past he
has much TO learn.

AS the Provo Utenian views it: THE
Salt Lake Herald seems to be opposed
TO non-partisan election for that city,
but whatever may be good for Salt
Lake. we know that non-partisan city
election would be the best for the well
fare of Provo" OF course, if our Provo
contemEor sincerely believes that
among all the. Democrats of Provo
there ars not enough honest and cap
able men and women to creditably fill
the local Offices. it is justified in urging
the party to abandon its local organ
ization and to retire from the field. but
we suspect there are a good many
Democrats i'll that town who will re-
pudiate such an assumption.

WOMAN'S WAYS.

They talk about woman's sphere
AS though it had limit;
There's not place IN earth or heaven,
There's not a task to mankind given,
There's not a blessing or a woe,
There's not a whisper yes or no."
There's not a life. a death, birth,
There's not a feathers weight Of worth
Without woman in It.
