PORTO RICO REFORMS.

Madrid telegram to the New York
World says that it is no secret in 20
litical and diplomatic circles in Mad
rid that the American government
cannot accept the reforms decreed for
Porto Rico, but that the United States
executive might induce congress and
public opinion in the United States to
take them as a definite form of what
Spain intends to place on record as her
final concessions for the settlement of
the Cuban question.
That may be the understanding in
political and diplomatic circles in Mad
rid, but the statement should be taken
with q grain of salt.
The American government cannot
accept the reforms decreed for Porto
Rico, And why not, pray? This coun-
try does not own Porto Rico; does not
pretend to any protectorate over it,
assumes no responsibility whatever
regarding it. For the Washington
government to decline to accept any
reforms in Porto Rico would be for it
TO assume TO say what should and
" hat should not be done in that is
land.
1t is very doubtful if any credence
whatever should be put in the runor;
we think none should be, but it shows
to what an extent some are trying to
pervert the Monroe doctrine. That doc
trine never professed to say that Euro
pean nations having colonies in this

OFFICERS OF THE LEGISLATURE

The caucus of the Democratic men,
bers of the legislature yesterday de-
termined upon the officers for the SEN
ate and house of representatives. The
two chief offices, the president of the
senate and the speaker of the house,
went north. The minor Offices Of the
two houses were well distributed
throughout the state. as they should be.
Hon. Aquilia Nebeker of Rich county,
will be the president of the senate. He
has had large experience in legis-
lative matters which will be invaluable
to him in that position. He is we'll and
favorably known throughout the state,
and familiar with its needs and re-
sources. He should make a good pres
ident, though he will be missed on the
floor. where he has always been a
force.
Hon. J. n. Perkins of Ogden viii be
the speaker of the house. He is scarcely
so we'll known throughout the state as
Mr.. Nebeker, but in Ogden and Weber
county few are better or more favor
ably known than he. The members of
the house will always find him cour-
teous and considerate, and towards all
he viii be fair and impartial.
The Herald wishes the presiding of
fcers of the senate and house, the
members of the same and the clerical
force every success.

THE INDIANAPOLIS MONETARY
CONVENTIONS.

It will not be long before the Indian
/ apolis monetary convention meets. It
is said that it promises to be a success
so far as numbers are concerned. But
numbers alone do not make such con-
ventions a success. The character Of
the delegates has very much 10 do with
it. The topics to be discussed VIII be
the financial condition of the country,
the causes that have produced it, and
now d proper financial system can be
established
That which the Indianapolis conven-
ton viii undertake to do will be. prac-
tically, to fight the late campaign over
again. It may come to some conclu-
sion entirely different to what the
people generally have reached as to the
causes that have produced the present
financial condition of the country. But
when the convention has got its con-
clusion, what will it do with it? It
may then formulate some plan that it
thinks Will remedy all the evils the
country suffers from; and it may be a
perfect remedy. but how will it get its
plan into operation? The congress of
the United States alone can put it in
operation, and that the congress will
hardly do. 1t viii be a congress that
is not pledged to any monetary reform
further than to maintain the present
sold standard. It Will, in all probable
ity. meet in extra session so soon as
Major Mckinley is inaugurated, but
for the enactment of new tariff and
not for the reform of the currency.
The indianapolis monetary confer
ence nav result in some good, it is
quite as likely to result in harm; all
this. of course, in the event that the
people take any interest whatever in
how it results. The probabilities are
that the gentlemen who attend the
Indianapolis monetary conference as
delegates will have their labor for their
pains and nothing mora. The conven-
tion viii scarcely have any interest
even as an academic gathering.

country should not continue to hold

Monroe expressly declared that with
the existing colonies or dependencies
of any European power we have not

This being the established policy Of
the United States. why cannot the
American government accept the re-
forms decreed for Porto Rico?

with the idea that no one has any right

United States of America. Happily
those who SO think are not numer-

they make a great noise. These are
the people, no doubt, who cannot ac-
cept the reforms decreed for Porto
Rico.

ceiving too heavy -importations on the
articles in which he is interested. The
effort making, therefore, is clearly to
reduce revenue, for no one is innocent
enough to claim that more revenue can
be obtained by shutting out importa-
tons. There are people who are Curl
ously, if not anxiously, inquiring when
the revenue features of this alleged
revenue tariff are TO be developed"
The real effort is 10 build UP the coun-
try's infant industries. And how nat
urally these fairfield industries turn

CHOOSING THE SENATORS.

The legislature meets tomorrow, and
the question uppermost in the minds of
the people is. Who will be chosen SEN
ator? The balloting for senator does
not begin until a week from Tuesday
The time between now and then will
be utilized by friends and supporters
of the various senatorial candidates in
urging their claims upon the members
of the legislature.
There are three senatorial candidates
in the field. One of them will be chosen
senator, no doubt, as it is altogether
improbable that any dark horse" will
enter the race and carry away the
prize. All of the candidates are well
known; all are distinguished Demo-
Gratis; any one would be a credit to the
state in the senate. Each and all have
claims upon the party. and the claims
of each should be carefully considered.
That is not all that should be consid-
cred.
The senator to be chosen will be the
representative of the state in the fed
eral senate for six years In elevating
him the interests of the state and the
people as a whole should be considered,
not forgetting the interests of the Dem
ocratic party. It is the duty of the leg
islature to elect him and not of the
general public. AS he viii be Demo-
crat standing fairly and squarely upon
the Chicago platform and upon the
platform of principles adopted by the
Democracy of the state, the clamor of
the Republican press of Utah should
be given no heed whatever. The Re
publican press of Utah is looking out
for the welfare of the Republican
party.
In making a selection the legislators
should and. will give a respectful hear
ing to the arguments urged by the
friends and supporters of each candi-
date. but let their decision be made
upon the merits of the candidates, their
records in the past, their capacity for
usefulness in the future. He is the best
man for senator who will best serve
Utah in the senate. The legislature,
and no one else. viii have to say who
that man is. In arriving at their de-
cision, let the legislature consider every
question, and weigh all. It should be
borne in mind that the future is of
more Importance than the present; that
today soon becomes yesterday.
1t is a grave responsibility that rests
upon the Democratic legislature, but
that it will be met as it should be no
Democrat doubts. The interesta of the
Democratic party and the state are
greater than the claims of any candi- |
date; they must receive first considera-
ton. When these have been duly con-
let the legislature elect as
United States senator that man who !
will best represent and forward them. |
And whoever ne may be, united De-
will stand behind him and the
that elected him and hold
up their hands

SHERMAN AS SECRETARY OF
STATE.

There has been more or less talk
about Senator John Sherman going
into Major McKinley's cabinet as sec
was first prompted because he is the
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations.
But it is extremely doubtful if he is
at all safe man to put at the head
of the state department. When the
Cameron resolution was reported to
the senate he out-Heroded Herod so
far as jingoism was concerned. But he
has come to the conclusion that per-
haps that resolution was not so emf
nently proper after all. William e.
Curtis, the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Record, writing to his
paper under date of the 9Th inst, says:
Senator Sherman said today: There
is an opposition to the Cameron reso-
luton in the senate now which was not
manifested in the committee on foreign
relations at the time the resolution
was reported. Several of us were not
convinced that it was exactly the
proper thing TO report the resolutions,
but we decided, for the time being, to
make no opposition to favorable re-
port, inasmuch as the majority of the
committee wanted to report favorably.
But I do not hesitate to say now that
1 would vote against the resolution if
proposed in the senate. There are other
members OF our committee who con-
sented to the resolutions being reported
who feel as I do"
1t was the business of those mem
bers of the foreign relations committee
who were not convinced that it was
exactly the proper thing to report
the resolutions" not to give their
sanction to them, no matter how small
q minority of the committee they may
have been. The possible consequences
involved in the adoption of those reso-
lutions were too serious for any one in
any way responsible for them to refuse
to do his full duty merely out of def
erence to the feelings of his associates
upon a committee.
Senator Sherman says that now he
would not hesitate to vote against them
were the-r to come up in the senate.
Why did he hesitate to vote against
them when they came up in the COM
mittee? There is but one explanation,
which is, that since they came up in
the committee he has realized that the
sentiment of the country is against
them and he desires to put himself in
accord with public sentiment on all
questions, no matter what his individ-
ual views may be. He is an able man,
one of the ablest in the country, but
he has always been more or less of a
trimmer. And this is the great charge
against him.
He is not the man for secretary of
state. He would be unsafe because he
would ever be too amenable TO every
wind that blew, setting his sails to
catch all breezes. No such man
should he at the head of the state de-
partment. What he says about the
Cameron resolution is proof positive of
his unfitness for the position.

The Washington Post says that ''an
international agreement would end the
agitation, and if that can be secured
harmony viii reign. But failing an
international agreement, which appears
to be only probable, the problem of
what this country shall do again rises
TO confront us. That Senator Wolcott
may find Europe strongly inclined to
an agreement should be the hope and
wish of every one desiring the welfare
of his country. Should Mr.. Woicott
not find such a sentiment in Europe
he may at least discover the source
Of the opposition, and if that can be
definitely located his trip will not have
been in vain" Senator Wolcotts mis-
sion to Europe will not have been in
vain in any event. Whether or no
there is another international monetary
conference. his mission will serve the
purpose of showing Europe that the
people of the United States are very
much in earnest on the question;
while if there is a conference and
nothing comes of it, it viii serve to
convince the American people that
they must rely upon themselves if
they ever expect to enjoy the benefits
of free silver.
