CANADA TO KIPLING.

Ghipling's Our Lady of the Shows
was published in Fridays Herald
J. w. Bengough in the Toronto Globe.
Hail TO thee. Poet Kipling,
My love to you over the sea,
With thanks for the gallant verses
You've lately inscribed TO me.
AT your praise in fervid English
The flame to my cheeks arose,
And my bosom heaved-tho you call me
Our Lady of the Shows
The title is pretty, I grant you,
And | know you meant to be kind,
But | wish you could hit on another
Less risky, if you don't mind.
OF course. as implying my ''whiteness,
| modestly murmur 1T goes"
But 1 fear few will give that meaning
To Our Lady of the Shows
You see. there's a prevalent notion
Which does me a grievous wrong
That my climate is almost arctic,
And my Winters ten months long.
Perhaps that is your idea,
For it's widespread. goodness knows,
And this phrase will make it more so
Our Lady of the Shows
Now the face, dear Mr. Kipling.
As I'm sure you'll he glad to hear,
Is that my climate is peerless
Throughout the circling year.
I've snow. of course, in season.
AID a blizzard some times blows,
But you might as well call England
Our Lady of the SHOWS
Come over and see, good Rudyard,
Ny Spring, my Summer, my Fall
And you'll own that for perfect weather
My specimen downs 'em all
[ will treat you to air that's nectar,
And a sky that no other land shows;
Then, after seven months of sunshine,
Call me Lady of the Snowsr'
No; I've just enough of Winter
To give glow to my cheek;
Call me Queen of the Northern Naples, "
If a fancy title you seek.
But give me a name less chilly
For one a whose bosom giows
A warm, deep love for the empire,
Than "Our Lady of the Shows

The Kansas City Star comments in
very friendly manner on the ap-
preaching celebration of the settlement
of Utah. 1t says: 1.-The Utah people
propose to observe the 5Oth anniversary
of the entrance into the Salt Lake val
ley by the Mormon pioneers on the oath
of June next. The president of the
United States will be invited to be
present and, to use a not altogether
unfamiliar phrase, a good time gen
orally will be had There will be no
dispute in Utah as to who constitute
the first families-the F. F. us. That
honorable position belongs to the Nor
mons, the friends, associates and fol-
lowers of Brigham Young. 1t was
they who made from the Missouri river
to a then almost unknown valley in the
midst of mountains wild and strange
one of the most toilsome and Derilous
journeys ever accomplished by men.
with their wives and children, and
there established in a natural desert
their fields and gardens and built up
one of the remarkable cities of the con-
tinent and the world. Whatever may
become of the religion which led to the
journey and in the name of which the
desert was subdued the names of the
men who accomplished this most re-
markable feat of discovery and settle
ment will be remembered at the jubilee
and through all the future of Utah.
The founding of nearly every American
state is a narrative of interest, but
none is more remarkable than the
story of Utah"

substantially as they are without ma
terial Improvement, some new issue
might come up that would dwarf all
others. Such came very near being
the case in December, 1885,, when Mr..
Cleveland sent his Venezuelan message
to congress. It carried congress and
the country off their feet and Mr.
Cleveland was the hero of the hour. not
of the Democratic party, not of the
Republican party, but of the American
people. Had not Great Britain needed
the warning growl in that message, a
growl that was so loud and distinct
that it was heard throughout the
world. all the chances were that there
would have been a war with England
and that war would have been the
issue in 1896: and it would have been
impossible to have made any other.
What was done in 1895 can easily be re-
Deated in 1900. The manner in which
Mr. Cleveland carried the American
people off their feet in December. 1885.
shows them to be a very excitable and
volatile one. They need but master
to play upon their passions to excite
them at any time.
If no one can tell what a day will
bring forth, then it is impossible for
anyone to tell what three years will
bring forth The issue for 1900 is
thing to be developed in the future; no
man can now foretell it.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-05-11
THE ISSUE IN 1900.

Every little while some person or
paper emits what he or it considers a
great light as to what will be the Issue
in 1900. The wisest political prognosti-
Gator in the country cannot say what
will be the issue before the people three
years hence; and if he really be wise
he will not attempt to tell what it viii
be. 1t may be tariff; it may be the
financial question; it may be a cues
ton of foreign policy. If the Dingley
bill, when it becomes a law, proves to
be a revenue producer and in its train
comes a reasonable measure of pros
perity, the issue is not likely to be tar
if, if for no other reason than that the
people are pretty well tired of tariff.
Prosperity would also have q strong
tendency to shut out the financial
question as an ISSUE whether anything
comes of the ATTEMPT at an interna-
tional bimetallic conference or not. If
there comes no prosperity as the result
of the new tariff law and nothing comes
of International bimetallic confer
ence ATTEMPT, then it would seem that
the financial question would surely be
the issue three years hence. Yet who
can say what viii become of all the
attempts of one kind or another now
mailing? And even if nothing should
COME of them, but thingSf should remain

The New York Times does not ap-
prove of Bishop Potter's views on the
relation existing between machinery
and the existence of poverty and dis
tress among the laboring classes. 1t
sets his views down as unsound and
unsafe. 1t says that the conclusion of
impartial and laboriuus investigators
is that the effect of machinery is to
tighten labor, and in general to give
greater regularity Of employment, and
that, contrary to a widespread belief,
il has not caused any net dinlinution
of employment. 1t admits, what no
one would attempt to deny, that the
monotony of some kinds of machine
work tends to dull the brains Of work
men, yet it says that for compensation
there are shorter hours and smaller
expenditure of nervous and muscular
energy as compared with hand labor
But the gain to the mass of wage
earners," very truthfully remarks the
Times, through the invention and en-
pioyment of machinery, is unmistak-
able and enormous There is no ques-
ton that Bishop Potter has put his
foot in it, as most olersymen do when
they leave their pulpits to enter the
domain of politics or almost anything
else that has TO do with everyday
life, especially in a sphere with which
they are not familiar.

KEEPING THE FAITH.

We are not defenders of the Repub-
lican party (heaven forbid we ever
should bei) but there is being made
against that party the charge that it
has broken the pledge it made during
the campaign last year. Has it? The
pledge that it is charged was so broken
is that it would maintain sound money
and reform the currency. 1t is fur
Their charged that the party instead OF
keeping this pledge has plunged into
an "orgie of protection, and gives no
thought to the currency or to the re-
lief of the financial situation
The facts in the case do not war
rant the charge that the party has
broken its pledge on the money ques-
tion. 1t has made no effort to change
the standard. It said it would not con-
sent to the free coinage of silver with
out the consent of the leading COM
mercial nations, and that until such
consent could be had it was in favor
of maintaining the present gold stand
ard. Can any single act of the admin
istrat6on be pointed out that is not in
full harmony with all this?
cerned the st. Louis platform was
pledged to it. 1t is true that it was
not anywhere so prominent in the cam
paign as the financial issue was, and
it was on the latter issue that the gold
Democrats supported Mckinley. But
if they supposed the party to whose
standard they f1ocked temporarily was
going to abandon the rock of its foun-
dation and take up that issue as most
important which they deemed most i'm
portant, they erred most egregiously.
1t seems that they did so suppose and
that they expected that the little gold
Democratic tail was going TO wag the
great big Republican dog. They have
now discovered that even dog has no
use for two tails. The little caudal ap-
pendage, sadly arrested in development.
they sought to attach to the Repub
lican animal was of such malformation
that it could receive no nourishment,
so withered and died and stuffed off.
In their blind fury at the regular
Democracy. their true position was I'M
seen by the gold Democrats, though
now the scales are beginning to fall
from their eyes. The fly upon the
wheel, they conceived the idea that
they were the wheel itself They are
to sense the distinction.
Their ratings at the party with which
they so lately connubiated are in
rather bad taste. They deceived them
selves, and self-deception is the great
est of all. The Republican party is
what it always was.

STUART AND GUELPH.
A Matrimonial Union Opposed by the
White Rose League of English
Jacobites.

The engagement. just announced, of
Princess Fedora, sister of Emperor Will
lam II, to. young Prince Ruprecht of Ba-
varia has occasioned violent discussion
among that singular body of romanti-
cists. the White Rose league OF English
Jacobites.
The princess, it will be observed. is one
of the grandchildren of Queen Victoria
whom the Jacobites (headed by the Mar
quis de Ruvigny and Mr. Herbert Vivian
describe as the usurping monarch of
England" Now, it happens that the
prince to whom her imperial highness is
to be married is the eldest son and heir
of the lady whom these same Jacobites
describe as Mary III. queen of England
ireland and Scotland '-although she is
generally known as Princess Mary, con-
sort of the Regent Luitpold of Bavaria.
To the Jacobites, young Ruprecht is
Robert, prince of Wales" Hence. by
the coming wedding the two rival houses
of Stuart and Guelph will intermarry for
tie first time since James II was driven
out of England
Princess Fedora is a stanch Lutheran
at present. while her future husband, the
so-called Prince of Wales is a Cath
Ole. like all the family of Wittelsbach.
But the princess sister, the crown prin
cess of Greece. has olready risked Offend
ing her brother by turning to the Greek
faith, so that should the bride-to-be also
forswear Lutheranism. no surprise need
be felt.
Meanwhile. the English Jacobites do
not at all like the proposed alliance.
