THE SOUND MONEY LEAGUE.

The proceedings of the meeting
of the executive committee of the
Sound Money league will be read with
interest. The reports from the various
states cannot be said to be very fatter-
ing to the hopes of the members of the
league. The proceedings show that the
members regard themselves as the
destined saviors of the country, a
natural thing, perhaps, when it is
remembered that no one else so re-
CARDS them. The important thing of
the whole meeting was the report of
a committee, composed of Louis r.
Enrich, George e. Leighton, president
of the league; E.. V. Smalley, Gustav
II. SchWab and William C. Cornwell,
on international bimetallism. This re-
port Or address starts out with the
declaration that international BIZ
metallism as world possibility is
dead. There is no equivocation about
that, no matter what one may think
of the declaration; whether the world
possibility" is dead is quite another
question. That there viii be no spon-
taneous movement amone, the various
commercial nations for bimetallism is
most probably true; the initiative
for universal bimetallism must be
taken by some strong country declar-
ing for the free and independent coin
age of silver; when that's done there
will be some hope of action in favor
of bimetallism by the nations generally,
but not until then
The Sound Money league would have
the United States make strong and
unequivocal declaration in favor of
the single gold standard, and it Will
work for this end. This demand on
the part of the league makes it plain
what the sound money men want and
makes a clear issue between them
and the advocates of free coinage; it
makes a middle ground impossible, and
this of itself is q distinct gain. Last
year the silver issue was pretty clearly
defined, but not quite so clearly as
could have been desired, since there
was just enough silver bait in the ST.
Louis platform to deceive many and
lead them to believe that something
would be done for silver through in
ternational bimetallism; they know
better now. The more distinctly the
line of cleavage between the single
gold standard advocates and the free
and independent coinage of silver ad-
vocates is made, the better for all
hands.
The committee did one most COM
mendable thing, which was to appro-
pirate $500 to the Indianapolis none
tary conference. That was q gather
ing OF poor men who could i'll afford
to spare the time and money that at
tendance on the conference cost them.

TRANSPORTING UNCLE SANS
SOLDIERS.

It seems that a question has arisen
in connection with the sale of the
Union Pacific that is of great import
ance to the general government in
connection with transportation of
troops, and that is whether the govern
ment will have to pay cash for every
soldier who travels. 1t is quite prob
able that it WILL and there is no reason
why it should not. If it hasn't the
cash fare no doubt the Union Pacific
would take its vouchers in lieu thereof
Is there any reason in the world why
the government should not pay cash
for the transportation of its soldiers?
1t taxes all the people to maintain
them and treats the matter as a bust
ness proposition, as it is.
OF late years there has grown up in
the country a good many socialistic
and paternaNstic ideas of government,
and the government itself has not been
totally uninfiuenced by them. The idea
that the government should not pay
cash for the transportation of it's SOL
diers is an evidence of it. 1t is also AN
evidence that there are those who hold
the theory that the government is
above and beyond the people, a some
thing quite separate and apart from
them. That is the European idea, but
not the American.
OF course, the government should pay
cash for the transportation of its sol
diers from one part of the country to
the other, and now that it's connection
with the Union Pacific has been severed
it must expect to. 1t is not probable
advantage Of the situation, and it is
safe to say that it will carry soldiers
cheaper than any other class of pas
sengers, and at a minimum of cost.

THE DUDES OF POLITICS.

The insults heaped upon the people
of New York City by the London press
have their inspiration in persistent at
tacks upon the good name of the city
here at home. When one newspaper
says that our municipal offices are to
be filled with men who should be in the
penitentiary, it is only echoing state
ments derived from mugwunp sources
here. When another says the govern
ment of the city is to be at the mercy
of a mob and of an INSCRIPTIONS DEM
agogue,' it is summing up impressions
which reckless American papers have
disseminated.
So says the New York Journal when
commenting upon the criticisms of the
officers who have been elected to adj
minister the affairs Of Greater New
York. This villification of them Git can
be called by no other name) comes
chiefly from those who supported Mr..
Low, and it is without justification. 1t
cannot be that all those who voted for
Judge Van Wyck are in favor of cor
rupt government, yet that is the as
sumption of those who talk in this man
ner. They seemingly hold the theory
that if they cannot direct the affairs
of their city or state, or the nation
even, that it is going to pieces, and
that popular government is a failure
The American citizen who holds that
only he and his party are fit to admin
lister the affairs of the government has
not got a very profound faith in pop
ular government. There are silly Re-
publicans who can never see anything
but the destruction of the government
ahead when Democrats are in power
and there are silly Democrats who take
the same view when Republicans are
in power It makes one tired" to see
such people and hear them talk.
One great trouble with the class of
people who supported Mr.. Low Eve
had them in Salt Lake City in the
form of non-partisans) is that they hold
themselves to be SO much better than
any one else, holding themselves to be
the simon-pure ideal Americans and
that all others are spurious; they are
the dudes of politics. It is a very in
ferior kind of patriotism that takes the
view that only a small portion of the
people can be trusted.

There is apparently chance for en-
terprising farmers to ply their voca-
ton in the valley of the Yukon" saws
the San Francisco Chronicle. .oThey
can raise whatever will mature in three
months, and there are varieties of
wheat and barley, and, of course. MANY
vegetables which will do this. There is
an immense and very rich valley open
to settlement. About ten feet of the ton
soil thaws out during the summer. and
this can be cultivated. The MOSQUITOES
and flies make it impossible for most
farm animals to exist during the sum
mer, and they would eat their heads off
during the long winters. The work will
have to be done with reindeer. The sum-
mer day is about three months long.

All this may be true, but as a. grain
exporting region the Yukon valley is
not liable to become a rival of the Mis-
sippi valley. And it would still be wise

A LYRIC OF LONE SEAS.

Our gallant ship leaps swiftly
Over the waves away;
With stridlenN roar,
Her bow before
Kisses the salt sea spray.
Over the depths unfathomed,
Over the seas green caves.
List to the song
So clear and strong
Sung by the loud-lipped waves.
Over the halls of coral
Whose Dearly floors lie deep
Where White sea maiden,
With dreams o'er-laden,
SAUNDERS in brea thleSS sleep.
Thou Ocean wide and voiceful!
Grim mystery shrouds thee DER;
Thy tempests rave
Till mariners brave
Lie dead on the damp, dark Shore.
The white-plumed waves are moving
Like ordered files to war;
In mighty throng
They whirl along
To the dim horizons bar.
Yon sea-bird posing dreamful
Thy secrets dread must know;
His snow-white breast
On thine doth rest
When grading pillows flow.
Gods power hoyers Ger thee;
His wonder-work art thou;
Thy wave-sosts stand
AT his command
And peaceful beams thy brow
When sounds the angels trumpet
And shake the affrig7lted skies,
Then shall the Lord
Fulfil his word
Thy sheeted dead shall rise.

OMAHA EXPOSITION BUILDINGS.

The Omaha Bee calls attention to
position is advertised to open its gates
on the first day of June, 1898, and says
that in order that the opening of the
gates may find the exposition ready for
business, the principal buildings should
be completed by April l. The Bee fur
Their says that while there are penalties
provided to indemnify the exposition
for loss by failure to complete the work
in time, it is not indemnity that the
exposition wants, but the buildings.
1t certainly would be a matter of
much regret should the exposition
buildings rot be ready for occupation
at the time contracted for, so that the
exposition may be opened as adyer-
tised. No doubt the managers of the
exposition are doing all in their power
to have everything ready in time, and
it probably will be. but still attention
cannot be called too often nor too
strongly to the necessity that they be
ready 1t is common evil of expo
sitions that they are not ready for the
public until month or two after they
have been opened to the public 1t is
to be hoped that this evil will not be
seen at the Omaha one.
The Omaha exposition is one in which
the whole western country, as that
term is understood in the west. is in
terested, interested in a way that no
other part of the country is, and hence
it is that we feel that any failure of
the exposition in any way will be in a
measure . reflection upon the west.
Have the buildings finished on time,
and the exposition ready to receive the
public on the date advertised.
