The Passing of Barnato.

One looks in vain through the col
umns of the press for anything of a
eulogistic nature concerning the late
Barney Barnato, says an exchange
Barnato made millions; he was pre-
sumed to be worth $500 600 900 at one
time, according TO the reports, al
though like all assumptions of rich
mems wealth. this was probably far in
excess of his actual worth, vet there
is not one single instance on record of
his having performed a charitable act
or of having done any good with his
vast wealth, save possibly that in the
act of building a palace in London,
where employment was given to GER
tain amount of artisans and laborers
for a time. And now on account of his
death certain stocks have taken a drop,
and many have suffered in consequence.
True, he could not help that, but the
world in general, and particularly those
who had invested their little all in
securities of which he stood sponsor
and which have taken a tumble since
his demise, would feel much more
charitatly inclined toward the dead
mans memory, if in life he had done
some good for his fellow men. That,
however, was not in Barnato's COM
position. He was a daring shrewd,
and withal a treacherous and merciless
Spectator. who calmly did one of his
best friends, the man who was virtually
his partner, Cecil Rhodes. Barnato
was perhaps the most notable example
of the ''parvenu'' in the modern world.
An ignorant ex-circus clown. he yet
commanded respect by reason of his
millions. The only polish visible was
when he wore his diamonds. 1t was re-
ported several months ago that he was
coming to Cripple Creek to investigate
the mines there hut he rtlrnOr dO11ht-
less acquired its inception in the brain
of some one who was not RESPONSIBLE
for his utterances. And so, summing
the man up. it is with no particular
regret that the world views the
passing of Barnato-,

Coal Excitement at .Yost.

Brigham City Bugler: 1t seems there
is more in the new discovery of coal
out near Yost than was at first thought.
DEVELOPMENT work has made such I'M
looked for disclosures that the whole
community is said to have caught the
coal fever. Numerous locations have
been made in the vicinity of the strike.
Many of them show similar indications
to the first discovery. The great vein
of coal can be indistinctly traced for
long distance. The vein of coal is
seven or eight feet in width, and pro-
nounced of a very good quality for so
near the surface. Charles Randall is
the owner. One day recently he was
digging for water, when by accident he
ran into this valuable bed of coal. Yost
is situated in almost the extreme
northwestern corner of the state; about
80 miles north of the Central Pacific
railway al Terrace. Randall naturally
thinks his fortune is made.

June and was noted for the fact that a
9e- cent dividend was declared after a
long period of failure to more than meet
expenses. The earnings for the year were
in the neighborhood of $250,000. but it was
explained by the secretary that the COM
pany was not very flush of cash. Another
excuse offered for not declaring z larger
dividend in view of the heavy earnings is
the condition of the American corpora

CLARK IS WATERING.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the Denver News contains the following:
Senator Clark of Wyoming is the latest
TO be mentioned as likely TO abandon the
gold Republican party and unite with
other silver men of various parties in the
effort for the restoration of the white
metal. The report concerning Clark APP
pears to be based on more substantial
grounds than that relating 20 Carter and

distinct derogation of the Republican pol
icy toward silver.
tied with the attitude Of the party on the
tariff, but his feelings on that subject
have been slightly improved by the in
creased wool duties and the caucus deci-
sion regarding hides. There are personal
reasons also for the Clark detection that
do not exist in the case of either OF the
others.
Senator Clark's reelection will be pend
ing before the people next year. No doubt
is expressed by any of the western men
that the next election can have but one
result in Wyoming, and that Will be the
overwhelming silver victory, that will
close the career of Mr.. Clark if he re-
mains a gold Republican.

with the Republican party, for he has
told me so. He tells me that the Repub-
lican party is doomed unless il acts
promptly and right on the silver question.
and l replied that it would not do so. and
that would be greatly pleased to be once
more united with him politically. There
are many reasons to believe he is Sc
riously considering withdrawal from the
party.
AID FOR CANNON.
Several leading silver Republicans. in
Guiding ex-senator Dubois this week
waited on Senator Jones and urged that
every effort be made by Democrats to aid
in the reelection of Cannon of Utah. The
silver Republicans are greatly interested
in Cannon. They have informed the sill
yer Democrats of their desire to have
him reelected. and are anxious to know
that they can depend on Democratic help
in the Cannon campaign. Senator Jones
told them he would be pleased to see Can
non reelected. The silver Republicans
told the senator that Cannons failure to
be reelected. following that of Dubois,
would have a very depressing effect on
silver Republicans throughout the nation.

1AILORS' TROUBLES.
They Appear to be Far From an End
in New York

New York. June PA large number Of
contractors who had entered into settle
ment with the Brotherhood of Tailors
last week have, according TO members
prominent in the clothing contractors as
sociatiOn. ignored the new agreement,
closed their shops and turned their en-
ployes adrift.
y number of contractors who are said
to have thus acted is set down at 100. en-
plOying between LOCO and LOO operatives.
Leader Schoenfeldt characterized the
statement as a lie made out OF whole
cloth.
In the face of this denial a huge force
of idle tailOrs was found cOngreSated at
the tailors' headquarters. Many of them
said they had been locked out and made
no concealment of the fear entertained by
them that they were face TO face with
another period of idleness.

ANNEX THE CLIMATE.
A Connecticut Paper Admires
Something in Hawaii.


Something in Hawaii.
The Hartford Courant, casting about
for some argument for annexation,
finds that Hawaii has an admira BILE
climate. While the Courant wishes
the climate, it questions the advisable
ity of taking in the population along
with it in the following language:
There is one thing about Hawaii and
the adjacent islands that we should
like TO annex and that is the climate.
In our last real estate transaction in
Alaska we were unfortunate in this re-
gard We got a climate which is so per
cent. winter and the rest principally
fog and drizZle. To be sure, some fine
scenery, great iceberg factory, sew
eral high mountains and a large river
were thrown in, TO say nothing OF seal
islands and reindeer pastures. but fine
days are what make life worth living
and OF them our northwestern purchase
furnishes very few. In Honolulu the
temperature never falls below 81 de-
grees nor rises above Sc degrees and
the barometer confines its variations
within one inch. The sunshine is Of a
peculiar and life-giving quality One
requires few clothes and little shelter.
Those conditions mean happiness, and
a land so blessed is a desirable acquisi-
ton.
Some other things we should have TO
take which might be regarded as draw
backs. Hawaii is said to consist of a
number of extinct volcanoes, one in a
moribund condition, sixty active mil
lionaires. a dozen or so Yale gradu-
ates, twenty-five thousand Japanese,
fifteen thousand Portuguese, twenty
thousand Chinese, and forty thousand
natives These last need not be count
ed as they are rapidly being civilized
out of existence. The milliOnaires we
do not want, since the supreme court
has decided that we cannot apply the
income tax TO them and we have
enough of our own. Besides, they are
said not to be a good breed of mil
lionaires, as they belong for the most
part to the Claus Spreckels variety,
which is much inferior to the Wander
bilt Astor Rockefeller species. The
Yale men we should like to annex. es-
pecially Professor Alexander, Lawyer
Judd and Mr.. Carter. The Chinese.
Portuguese and Japanese we do not
want either as citizens or as serfs, but
there they are, some of them actually
claiming rights. We cannot get the
climate without getting the inhabit-
ants. Will it pay? 1t would be as we'll
to examine the property pretty closely
before making the bargain.

THE SAILORS EYESIGHT.

Owing to the intensity of the cleo
trio light used on board of men-of-war,
men are frequently affected with eye
complaints, which in some cases have
led to total blindness, says a French
military journal. 1t has been observed
that eyes in which the iris is not heav-
lily charged with pigments, that is to
say and blue eyes, are more likely to
be injuriously affected than brown
eyes. These eye troubles are ascribed
