wealth any more than any similar
function among the same set of peo-
pie is hard to see.
No doubt all wealth could be expend-
ed upon filter and worthier objects,
ethically and morally considered, than
upon balls, and there is never lacking
The opportunity to so expend it. A ball
matter how elegant and costly the
decorations and the toilettes, is hardly
an ostentatious display of wealth. 1t
is a private affair, there is no parade
before the public. 1t is probable that
this Bradley Martin would have at
tracted no more attention than other
entertainments of a like character
had not DR.. Rainsford become some
what ostentatious himself. There can
be quite as much display of ostenta-
ton by a minister over-solicitous for
the poor and needy as by the giving
of ball.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that President-elect Mckinley is
opposed to any lavish expenditures for
the inaugural ball. He writes from
Canton, under date of Jan. %. to the
inaugural committee as follows:
It has come to my knowledge that
you propose to expend something like
coo for what is known as the in
auguraI ball. to be held on the evening
following my Inauguration While L
appreciate fully the spirit that has
prompted you to project a ceremonial
of such magnitude, allow me to say,
with the sincere hope that l Will not be
misunderstood. that it is unbearable to
me to think of such a vast amount of
money being devoted to no more sub
stantial purpose than display and
pleasure when there are millions of our
brethren throughout the world actu-
ally suffering, starving, dying from the
lack of food, clothing, shelter and med
ical attention. l beg of you. then, if
your desire is to arrange an observance
of Inauguration day that Will be well
pleasing to me- and give impressive
ness to the event, that you abandon
your pretentious plans for the ball.
and, with the approval of the citizens
who have subscribed the money, devote
$500 to the organized alienation of
Indebtedness in the great cities Of the
United States. $4,000 to provide food
and shelter for the oersecuted Ar
menians of Turkey, and $4,000 to re-
lleNe the horrors OF plague ana famine
in India. HOp'Ag that you viii share
my views of the manner in which the
funds can be applied with the mos
gratifying results TO our people and
With the greatest credit 10 our i'm
pulses as q Christian nation, 7 Sc
riously and earnestly solicit your parti-
in this act of sacrifice and self
forgetfulness.
The sentiments here expressed are
such as do honor to the president-elect.
The inaugural ball is a public one: the
one DR.. Rainsford is supposed to have
denounced is to be a private affair.
This makes a vast difference.

oSTENTATIoUS DISPLAYS OF
WEALTH.

There is an upheaval in New York
! society because of what the rector Of
the ultra fashionable St. Georges Epis-
copal church has been saying regard
ing the giving Of lavish entertain
ments by the rich. DR.. Rainsford says
! he believes that the giving of lavish
entertainments by the rich is at this
time politically. socially and ethically
umwise. with want on every side "
says Dr. Rainsford, contributions to
charitable societies decreasing, and ap-
pIications for aid increasing 1T is most
unwise now to offer texts to social
demagogues and political extremists
bv ostentatious display I believe in
social entertainments; but there should
be a reasonable limit to display and a
reasonable time chosen for it. Money
is not the root of evil; the love of
money is. That text is directed against
the envious poor man as well as
against the selfish rich man. To
gra ulitousIy increase discomfort by
accentuating the poverty of the unfor

action greatly to be deplored.'
That is all very proper and innocent.

this fact that has made the remarks

It is very evident that there exists
in the senate a feeling hostile to the
arbitration treaty. All the objections
raised against it do not seem to come
from the solicitude of broad minded
statesmen for their country; they
rather appear to come from the quib-
bles of small politicians. Some mem
bers of the foreign relations committee,
in whose hands the treaty is for the
present, take exception to the amend
ment providing for the selection of
King Oscar of Sweden as umpire They
say they find that the relationship be-
tween Great Britain and Sweden is
very close. The members who are
making this objection have also found
that an alliance exists between Great
Britain and France for the purpose of
protecting the Scandinavian kingdom
in certain contingencies. The people of
the United States are beginning to be-
lieve that they themselves will discover
a niger IN the woodpile yet if the
treaty is rejected.

DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY.

The Democratic legislature and no
one else is responsible for the election
of a United States senator It is
a big responsibility and the proper
discharge OF it viii require the exer-
else OF much wisdom. The election
of a senator in Idaho has its lesson
for the legislature in Utah. The les
son is that a prolonged deadlock may
result in the election of an unknown
in no sense qualified to discharge the
duties pertaining to the high Office of
senator. eve do not mean to infer
that the newly elected senator in Idaho
is such a one, for we know nothing of
him)
That very thing may happen in the
legislature any day if it is not guarded
against. When a contest over the
election of a senator becomes long,
those engaged in it are liable to be-
come tired and impatient, and in their
Impotence at long delay members may
become vexed and vote for some one
for senator whose election, when ac-
complished. every one. including the
members of the legislature themselves.
would regret. Let there be no such an
election, for it is better a thousand
times that Utah be not represented
in the United States senate. than that
she be misrepresented. or unworthiIy
represented there. on the principle that
between two evils it is better to choose
the lesser
This matter of electing a senator is
a most serious one. 1t should not be
made an occasion for the qualification
of any mans ambition merely. 1t
should be made the occasion of put
ting into the senate of the United
States as the Democratic representa-
tive OF Utah as able man as there
is in the state. There is not a man
or woman in the legislature but knows
that the triumph of the great cause of
free silver-the peoples cause-must
be brought about, primarily, through
the efforts of the congressional delega-
tens from the inter-mountain states.
It is they who must do the fighting
for a long time to come; If is they
who must hold the banner of free sill
yer aloft; it is they who must stand as
a stone wall against the onslaughts of
the gold forces for the next four years.
Already the leaders of those forces
realize that the free silver movement
is by no means dead; and realizing
this. they viii bend all their efforts
to kin it. The Democratic legislature
of Utah should realize that for the
next four years the donjon of the sill
yer fortress whose walls have already
been scaled, is the United States SEN
ate. Let all this be kept constantly
in mind and there is little danger that
the legislature will make a mistake in
the election of a senator; ignore IT,
and the Democratic legislature may
seal the doom of the Democratic party
in Utah for years to come.

Hauntedi

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort of its pos
sessOr-by those malignant spirits, con-
stipation and biliousness. But the
abominable pair may be speedily driven
out with the potent help of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This genial altera
tive, while it relieves the bowels and
regulates the liver, never. as a drastic
purgative does, produces violent eff
fects and weakens the intestines. On
the contrary, the action of the Bitters
is precisely analogous to an effort of
nature seeking to resume her proper
functions. This furnishes pretty con-
elusive evidence that it is better TO
use persuasive means, so to speak, than
TO endeavOr to coerce nature to a re-
turn TO duty. Violent remedies produce
only a temporary effect, followed by
a hurtful reaction. For indigestion. ma
larial and kidney complaints, rheuma-
tism and nervousness, the Bitters takes
highest rank among remedies of the
philosophic school.

The Washington correspondent of a
Chicago paper says the amendment to
the new immigration law, which was
proposed by Representative Corliss at
the request of the labor unions, will
have the effect of largely depopulating
the Dominion of Canada. It provides
that no foreigners may come into the
United States and obtain temporary
employment. If they come at all, they
must come to stay, and take out nat
uralization papers. This Will apply di-
rectly, and was no doubt intended to
do so, to about 100000 Canadians,

a few months. and then go home to

places are taken by their mothers or
sisters. Thus they migrate back and
forth, the whole family spending half

other half in Canada. The same is

TALES OF LOVE.
McCullagh,s Love Romance.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Henry Watterson,
who for 30 years was a close friend of
J. b. McCullagh, confirms the impression
that there was a love romance in the
dead editors early career in St. Louis.
The young woman in the case lived in
Louisville for a while. She was d hand
some and accomplished girl, and was the
adopted daughter of a present st. Louis
official who was mayor of St Louis in
the early '7Os, and almost a millionaire
then. Her foster parents lived in the
most aristocratic section of ST. Louis
and broke off the match because Nc
Cullagh was poor. Why he is only a
reporter" was the crushing reply, when
she pleaded for permission. About Y
years ago she married a rich doctor. and
they moved to San Francisco. He cruelty
abused her from the start. and in a few
years she got a divorce and soon after
died of a broken heart. The recollection
of the affair saddened McCullaghs later
years. and helped to make him the cynic
he WAS.

This may lead to complications with
foreign governments through entrench-
ments upon treaty rights, though it
is probable this question was fully

consideration of all such laws as this
is that treaty and other rights are very
liable to be regarded as of not enough

Denew on Marriage.

New York Press: No woman is
thoroughly happy until she is married
and experiences the joys of motherhood.
The fact that she is rich and cultured.
that she possesses superior talent for art
or literature, only intensifies her one
sidedness She may not know and will
not admit that marriage would complete
her happiness and give her broader views
of life. keener appreciation of truth and
surround her with a healthier atmos-
phere. But she cannot escape the beauti-
ful and benefcent purposes for which
Cod created her by remaining single, and
she can be as intellectual and cultured
and Infinitely more charming to those
blessed by her influence and more useful
to the world by what she does for her
husband and children.
