M'KINLEY'S PLEDGES GRE
DEEMED"
GRE

The reply of Great Britain TO the
propositions Of the Woleott commission
whatever they may have been, puts the
administration in position to say that
it has redeemed the pledges of the ST
Louis platform. II also relieves it of
several embarrassment. One of these
embarrassments was the request of the
president for power from congress to
appoint a commission to investigate the
currency question and report at the
regular session. That request was alb
soIutely inconsistent with the mission
Of the Woleott commission provided

BEWARE OF NoN-PARTIsAN-
SHIP.

A new doctrine has sprung up in Salt
Lake City within a couple of months.
which is that if citizen is party
man and believes in party government,
he thereby loses all title to respect and
his character as an honest man. This
doctrine is promulgated by a few gen
tlemen who have associated themselves
together as bipartisan committee
seeking to get control Of municipal af-
fairs. They are respected citizens. as a
rule, and have been successful in a. bus
mess way. but there is not one of them
to whom the people do or can point as
being pre-eminent in civic virtues. Not
one of them is a public spirited man
in the sense OF devoting some of his
private means to the founding of chairs
in our university or other educational
institutions; the name of no one of
them is connected with any public ben
efaction.
Whence their superiority to those cit
liens equally respected and equally
successful in business affairs with
them? Does their superiority come
from the fact that they have segregated
themselves from the people as well as
parties? They are not known TO have
welded any influence on the body poll
tic heretofore, in truth they have been
Indifferent to political matters. They
have associated themselves together as
conclaye whose aim is to dictate
those common affairs in which all the
people are directly concerned, but
without consulting the people. Their
talk about country before party is
but the cry of the demagogue; nothing
else. They ask the people to forsake
their parties and to follow their lead.
They object to what they term partf-
san government because they cannot
control the regular political parties;
they would have the people run after
false gods whose prophets they them
selves are. They do not trust the peo-
pie; let the people beware Of them.

"True. it claimed then as now to be
an aIl-around, up-to-date silver paper,
but we knew then, as well as now. that
it was only a qualified silver organ;
that its course would be controlled on
that question by the action of its party
entirely, but that does not matter. ="
says the Tribune.
The Herald is accused Of the crime of
following its party on the silver CUES
ton. We admit the accusation and at
tempt no defense. If it is a crime to
be in full accord with our party on the
silver question, then it is crime TO
be in accord with the declaration of
the Chicago platform on it. which de-
claration IS in favor of the free and in
dependent coinage of silver at the ratio
Of 16 to l, and not in favor of waiting
for the consent of any other nation. Is
there anything wrong or seryiIe in ia
Yoring a party lead such as this? Our
contemporary followed that lead a year
ago, but it shows wonderful signs of
repentance and of a keen desire to fol-
low the lead Of party which is OPP

the president had any faith that the
result of that mission would be in any
wise different from what it has been
No currency commission could have
acted intelligently SO long as the atti-
tude of England. Germany and France
on the subject of an international
agreement concerning bimetallism was
unknown If the sending Of the special
commission to Europe was in the ma
ture of a mere by-pIay with no expec-
tation that anything would come of ii,
and it looks very much as though that
is what it was and nothing else, then
the appointment of a commission to
consider and report on the currency
question would have been all very we'll.
President Mckinley sent the special
bimetallic commission to Europe. it is
true, but no one who was not infatu
ated believed for a single moment that
anything would come of it; and we do
not believe that President Mckinley
was infatuated The party that elected
him is the historic and aYowed enemy
of silver; the platform it adopted at st.
Louis last year is uncompromiSingly
hostile TO silver. the financial plank de-
claring that the party is unalterahly
opposed to the free coinage of silver.
except by and with the consent of the
leading commercial nations. And those
who drew up that plank and those who
adopted it knew all the While that the
consent of the leading commercial ma
tons to an arrangement for interna-
tionaI bimetallism could not be had I'M
der any circumstances.
If President Mckinley had had any
really friendly feeling for silver he
would hardly have appointed as his
secretary of the treasury q man VINO
is a devoted adherent of the single
gold standard. Every scheme for re-
forming the currency that Secretary
Gage has evolved has had no place in
it for an enlarged use of silver, much
less anything looking towards the res
toration of silver to it's proper place in
our monetary system. His latest scheme
contemplates the retirement Of the
greenbacks. bonds to be issued for that
purpose. and the substitution of ma
tional bank notes in their place, the
new bonds to be used as security for
the notes the same as now.
The administration is now able to
declare that it has redeemed its pledges.
and that England and not it is to blame
that nothing can be done for silver by
it. England has proved to be its friend
in need.

thousands that will not understand it.
For the benefit of those who have never

These men are known as the right end

They line up facing each other. The

LOVES CALENDAR.

Talk of love in vernal hours,
When the landscape bushes
With the dawning glow of flowers.
While the early thrushes
Marble in the apple tree;
When the primrose springing
From the green bank. luIlS the bee.
On its blossom swinging.
Talk of love in summer tide
When through bosky shadows
Trills the streamlet-all its side
Pranked with freckled maNows;
When in messy lair of Wrens
Tiny eggs are warming;
When above the reedy fenS
Drdgon-gndtS are SWdrming
Talk of love in autumn days,
When the fruit. all mellow.
Drops amid the ripening rays,
While the leaflets yellow
Circle IN the sluggish breeze
With their Dortents bitter;
When between the fading trees
Broader sunbeams glitter.
Talk of love in winter time,
When the hailstorm hurtleS.
While the robin sparks of rime
Snakes from hardy myrtIes.
Never speak Of love with scorn,
Such We're direst treason
Love was made for eve and morn,
And for every season.
