CHE DUTY OF SILVER MEN.


Under the above heading the Helena
Democrat prints a very apt editorial
wherein it gives some wholesome advice
to the. friends of silver 1t says:
So far with the exception of that of
Maryland. every Democratic state con-
vention has declared satisfactorily upon
the silver issue and the Chicago plat
form generally. The vague expressions
OF the Maryland convention are to be
deplored rather for the comfort ex-
tracted from them by the so called
National Democracy, than for any indi-
cation they present OF disloyalty TO the
principles SO vigorously set forth in the
Chicago convention. It is clear, too,
that they were due solely to the inhu-
ence of ex-senator German. who made
the mistake of endeavoring to placate
the gold men of his party. and was sue
cessful in forcing this platform upon a
convention, a majority of whose dele
gates are known to be staunch free sill
yer men.
ut being the case that the Demo-
cratic party has made such valiant
exhibition Of loyalty to the principles
adopted last year and bearing in mind
| that the party is so much more pow
erful IL organization and numbers than
any other party favorable to silver, it
is the plain duty Of the latter to give
their hearty assistance to the Demo-
way that the splendid strength shown
last November can be continued in the
fall campaigns It is highly impor-
tant that this shall be done. Great
capital will be made by the Repubn-
cans everywhere out OF the discord and
weakness which a contrary course will
evidence"
The above viii apcly with equal force
here in Utah, where we have no ger
eraI election this fall.
The proposition to inaugurate a non
partisan campaign in the several mu-
nicipal elections is only an effort on the
part of Republicans to divide the silver
| forces and, if possible. give an advan-
tage for the Republican party for the
in this state next fall.
1t IS SAID that the silver issue can in
no way have any effect upon the mu-
nicipal election. No matter how that
may be the municipal election viii have
effect ON the silver cause because 1T is
! well known that here in Utah the DEM
oeratic party is for silver, and if every
! city and town goes Democratic by
strong majorities it will go out to the
world that out in Utah there has been
no weakening of the silver forces
If the non-partisan idea should pre-
vail every gold bug paper in the coun-
try would proclaim to the world that
| here in Utah the silver craze is vanish
Ing from the face Of the earth.

NOT ALL FOR THE TRUSTS.

Some Republican newspapers ON &C.
cas3ons speaks the truth. 1t has been
often charged and proven to the salts
faction of all reasonable people that
the Dtngley bill is purely q, trust pro-
tector. The Republican press as rule
has attempted to deny this allegation,
but this Newark an. W Gazette. does
not pretend to deny the charge, but
tries to justify the action of congress.
It says:
We'll what if il has? In whose inter
ests should legislation be- if not in
theirs? The nnoneyed men. are the men
who have made this government what
il is. and who are expected to perpet-
uate st. Without them the poor could
NOT exist. It has always been so, and
always VIII be. Bethany, Debs. Myron
Reed and others to the contrary not
withstanding. This bill. however. is not
a trust protecting measure wholly, but
undertakes to benefit all classes
The Gazette believes that the sugar
trust and the Standard Oil trust both
deserve protection. It can justify the
constant increase in the price of sugar
When laborin. men all oyer the country
are out of work. wages decreasing, and
want and starvation staring them in the
face. 1t declares that the moneyed men
are the men who have made this gov
eminent. If the Gazette refers to the
present administration it's declaration
is absolutely true, and it might be
added that they have a mortgage upon
the whole outfit Yet it was never the
intention of the founders of the govern
ment that such should ever be the case.
The Gazette is mistaken when it says
that this theory of government always
has prevailed and always will. The
idea that the government of the United
States was formed for the benefit and
protection of the rich and the we'll born,
mas often been advanced, yet it has
never been acknowledged by the people.
Lincoln said this was a government
of and by the people, and although for
the time being it may be a government
of the trusts and by the trusts, the day
will come when ali this VIII be rlghted
and we viii go back to first principles
and take up with the old fashioned
plan of allowing the people 10 manage
their own affairs. 1t viii all come
about as the result Of revolution, and
not revolution after the Freuea order
either, but a genuine American reyolu-
ton by means Of the ballot box.

POINTER FOR CATTLE MEN.

While wheat is in good demand at
better prices than have been paid for
years. there is very little call for corn.
and the farmers bins are full Of it in
the corn areas of the middle west The
steadily advancing price of cattle on
the Chicago market, together with the
low price of corn, demonstrates to the
farmer that it pays these times to drive
corn to market on the lloof. In conse-
quence there is renewed demand in the
corn belt for cattle to feed, and so pro
nounced is this demand that the farm
ers are finding it difficult 70 find good
feeders in the markets. Some of
these cattle have been shipped from
Buffalo and as far east as New Eng
land. All of which shows that our
Utah cattle men should take advan-
tage of the conditions presented and
send their feeders into the corn belt,
Illinois and Iowa especially, where good
prices may be obtained
a dispatch from Omaha. says the de-
mand for stockers and feeders in Ne
bras1a has become so heavy since the
new corn crop WAS assured that prices
for that class of cattle have reached
unheard of prices. The yards are be-
sieged daily by cattle buyers from Ne
braska and Iowa, who VIII pay high
prices for feeders. More than 100 men
are in the city for this purpose.

the event caused apprehension in Eng
land. but few regarded its significance.
Russia all along has wanted India. and
has been pushing her way close to the
boundaries of the British possessions
in Asia The dispatches place this re-
volt of the natives in the frontier Of In
dia- DID Russia have a hand IT II?
And having hand in it, VIII the car
be supported by the emperor in his de-
signs? Is this the true meaning OF The
pledge given by William at the ban
quet in ST. Petersburg1
Of course this is mere speculation,
and in the absence Of further informa-
ton from India regarding the extent
and character of the revolt, opinion
can not be subssantia;ed by facts. But
be the instruction great OF small. it
shows to the world that British con-
quest has brought a blight upon the
people Of India; conquest that not
only desroiled India of its wealth but
struck the value from the only money
left the native to buy his simple food.

THE REVOLT IN INDIA.

What causes this uprising IN India ?
Ii does not come from the plague
stricken district. 1t is not the fight of
men dying Of hunger.
The manhood has been crushed out
Of those wretched natives who have
survived the plague only TO endure the
tortures of starvation. Such men are
unable to carry arms and meet the
forces OF the British government even
if courage were left them. The brief
dispatch last night says the Alridas
are marching through the Khyber pass
uron Gamrud, while the Orakzais are
advancing by Kuarim and are threat
ening SANTANA The dispatch adds that
if the Alridas revolt be general, the
British forces will be compelled to
temporarily abandon Lundi and Kota.
No matter what proportions the in
surrection may assume, if the British
army has to cope only with natives
the outcome VIII be defeat and sub
lection of the rebels. India is a ma
ton of many millions divided into
many castles, and it is this division of
castles and the hatreds and passions
which belong to them that made the
nation impotent in attack, and it easily
fell a prey TO British intrigue and con-
quest. Great changes have been
wrought sina then. and the Hindoo
and the Mussulman have reversed their
positions in the social and political
scale. The Hinaoo is now loyal; he is
afraid of his own countrymen. If any
fighting is to be done it will be done
by the tribes of Mahomet.
While reading of this revolt in In
dia. one cannot help thinking of that
meeting of the emperor and czar the
other day. 1t viii be remembered that

IN THE SCHOFIELD CASE.
Serious Blunder Made By the Dis
trict Attorney.

Madrone, Cal, Aug 1S.-when the
Schoheld case was called for further
examination this morning in Justice
Pinard's court, the defendants attor-
ney called the attention of the court
to the fact that the defendants had
never been arraigned upon the charge
of murder and that the proceedings
were. therefore, null and void. The
district attorney acknowledged that by
an oversight this necessary formula
had been forgotten and, therefore,
moved that the defendants be dis
missed and q new complaint fled This
was done and the defendants were
thereupon rearrested and commanded
to the custody of the sheriff until Sat
urday morning when they will be ar
raigued
