TALES OF THE DAY.
Fessenden Laid It Up.

The late Senator Doolitte, of Wiscon-
sin, was a great story teller and related
many interesting and humorous accounts
of what he had seen in public life One
Of his faYorite stories was at the expense
of Senate. Fessenden. a warm personal
friend The judge and Senator Fessenden
had been appointed on a commission with
several Others to treat with the various
chiefs of the Sioux nation on an impor-
tant Indian question of the day. 1t was
long before railways had been introduced
into the far west. and the members of
the commission had to travel on horse
back, Judge Dooilttle was chairman of
the commission. but at the conference
shifted the duty 70 the shoulders of SEN
ator Fessenden, who was highly pleased
at the honor conferred on him, The
judge, however, had heard of the peculiar
reception rendered by the Indians to the
spokesman of any party of visiting
Writes.
At the appointed time the two parties
TO the conference eongregated. There
were probably 200 Indian chiefs present
with their wives. Senator Fessenden adj
vanced TO do the honors for the commfs-
a.oners when, TO his dismay, the whole
body of Indians-squaws and atl-ad-
man. gave him. according to their Gus
man. gave him, according to their GUS
tom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doolittle
often said he thought that Fe5sendeu
never quite forgave him for the tr.ck.-Ex.

GENERAL PAINE TALKS.

General Paine. Of the Wolcott com
mission, has returned to Boston from
Europe He did not have much to say
regarding his mission, and when asked
if he had seen any indication in Eng
lend that the people desire to join this
country in an effort to place their
monetary. system on a bi1netallic basis,
he replied that ne could not say he
had; that the commission was waiting
to see, though he was of the opinion
that there was desire for information
al bimetallism. He could scarcely have
said anything more, as he, with the
other members Of the commission,
would very properly desire to hear
definitely from England on the propo-
sitions they had made and then to lay
the result of their labors before the
president before giving them to the
public. Until such time the public must
be content to surInise what the COM
mission has accomplished.
In this connection an editorial state
ment that appeared in the Westminster
Gazette Of August Ii is of interest. 1t
is to this effect:
To fool any longer with Mr.. NIcbin-
ley's commission is surely unnecessary
India has taken q step toward demone-
tizing silyer-that is, she has declined
to abide by the market value of silver
as the standard of currency value.
Japan and Russia have adopted the
gold standard No one means to so
back Then why not say so, sand, I'M
deferred by threats of possible VIC
tory of Mir Bryan three years hence,
dismiss the question finally We may
be told that Bryan means ruin to Eng
fish investments. If he means free
trade as well, the ruin will be qualified.
This is a very blunt statement, but il
is more than likely that it represents
British sentiment on the subject. We
ike what the Gazette says about de-
ciaring plainly what England intends
to do in this matter If, as the Ga
zette says. no one intends to go back
TO free silver. then why not say so?
1t is the manly, straightforward way
and would tend to settle things so
that people would know just how
! things stand.
When the reply of England to the
oyertures of Messrs. Wolcott. Paine
and Stevenson is received it is to be
hoped it will be SO plain and unequivo-
cal, no matter what it may be. that
there can be no misrepresentation. no
misconsruction Of it; no other kind
will be satisfactory.

Of the Ian. The deficits under the VIII
son-Gorman law were just as easily ex-
planned; and there is reason to believe
that with the revival Of business that
law would have produced ample rev
enue- VIII the new law do this in time?
Is not the prime object of q protective
law to keep out foreign goods? If it
accomplishes this object then 1t must
Of necessity diminish the revenue when
It is dependent upon imposts laid upon
foreign goods.
The continued creation OF deficits is
a matter for keen regret and not of con-
graduation, no matter under what
party they may be created, No after
how general prosperity may be, if -
revenue of the government is not sufff-
Gent to meet its expenses things are in
bad way. The resources for produce
ing revenue are more than ample, but
they are not taken advantage of. The
interests of the government, of the
whole people. are sacrificed to the in
terests of certain protected interests; it
is wrong in principle and worse in prac-
tice. Had some of the internal reYe-
nue. features of the Dinglay bill been
retained probably it would have pro-
dueed sufficient revenue; and it was
even pointed out by some friends of the
bill in the senate that these internal
revenue provisions were essential, but
they we're finally abandoned as it was
seen that they were really a tacit ad-
mission Of the correctness of the Dem
ocratic position on the question of rails
ing revenue.
Revenue for the government must be
raised. II the present tariff law does
not do it then there must be such sup
Elemental legislation as will secure it.
If it comes, it viii be sure to take the
{ form of internal revenue taxes.

WOULD THE NoN-PAR44sANs
BE NoN-PARTIsANP

Those who favtor the non partisan
movement in our municipal election de-
clare that their great desire is to secure
honest and economical government
They argue that the best way TO secure
such government is for the citizens to
ignore their political ties and assem-
bic in mass convention and name the
best men in the community for the var
ious elective Offices. They assume if
people are willing to lay aside their pol
ities il the selection of municipal Off
GERS that they will then only seek for
the very best men, Theoretically they
may be right, hut they have observed
the course Of politics to small advan-
tage if they assume that there would
be no forming Of eabals for the plae-
ing in nomination of this or that man
for this or that Office. The methods of
the regular parties would be introduced
into the nom partisan parey so soon as
it had materialized. DO they think for
one moment that the non-partisan
party would be in any respect different
from the elements of which it would be
composed? If they do they are quite
mistaken.
But let it be assumed that nom
partisan ticket we're elected, notwith-
standing there were a Democrat and a
Republican ticket in the field. Would
the administration so elected still stand
by its declaration that the best men
were to be selected to I'll the various
offices Notwithstanding their polities2
II it were known that the very best
man in the city for the office Of city
engineer or road supervisor, aclzrowl-
! edged to be such by all, had opposed
and voted against the non-partisan
ticket, would the non-partisan mayor
and council select such a man? Would
not every man first be tested as to his
| fitness for office by his support or non
support Of the non-partisan ticket?
! Would not all selections for subord4-
nate offices he made from those who
I had supported the ticket? II they were.
where would the city benefit by hay
! ing the services of the best men at its
disposal? Some viii say in answer to
these questions it is only natural to
make the selections from those who
give support in various ways TO the
new administration. That would be
true but it would be the answer of the
partisan. the answer that is always
made by those who are strict partisans.
There is every reason to believe that
the non-partisans, once ensconced in
power. would punish" their opponents
the same as other partisans do, and
| for the very same motives
1t may be that the non-partisans
would love their enemies as themselves,
but it is impossible to cite cases SHOW
! ing that they do.

WAR ON HANNA.

ColoTfel C'0nger of Akron, a member
of the Republican national Committee
and for some years chairman of the
Ohio Republican state committee. has
been telling some state secrets. He is a
Foraker man and not an admirer of
Mr. Hanna. In a letter which me has
published, Colonel Conger starts out by
saying that Mark Hanna must be de-
fea,ted. that his roTnination Cor the sen
ate by the state convention lis an in
suit to American labor, and every la
boring man should vote against him.
He is most incensed at Hanna's treaeh-
cry 20 Foraker and war ON him and it
is here THAT he makes his strongest
point. He is particular 10 snow that
Hanna's hbepa1ity in pol1'uicg has only
developed since he became the gamer
by it, and that in close contests in the
past he raver contributed a single dol
lar On this point Colonel Conger says:
When I went TO Hanna at tlla re-
quesi- of MyFcn T. Herriclz. A. G. How
ara and some Of the young Republicans
Of Cleveland with the request that he
ana his friends help Foraker and Eos
ter in the coming campaign, he put his
hard on my knee. looked me square in
the face and said:

don't like him, and III be id If ! Will
vote for gYlm. On the contrary. I vii.
DO all | can against him. l han mem
tened Foster 10 htm for senator, and
his reply was: Not a d--n cent for the
close counties. II we carry ,iEhe legisiat-
ure Foraker would be a candidate for

mean to say you would rather see a
Democrat in The senate than Foraker?"
That's about the size of ii" said ne.
| That's the kind of a Republican Hanna
WIS in 1889, and 'olle Cleveland Leader
saws we must be loyal to him now.
Perhaps the most interesting part of
the letter is that in which Colonel Con
ger declares that ne win work openly
fer Hanna's defeat. and that ne will CO.
operate with the Democrats TO that end,
| because there is no escape from the
bondage in which Hanna holds the Ra-
publican party but by voting the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall" In giving his
reasons for opposing Hanna, Conger,
VINO is a manufacturer, says:
NY main reason for opposing Hanna
now is because I am opposed in prin-
ciple to Iavying of contributions upon

A CONVENTION OF MAYORS AND
COUNCILMEN.

On eAe 18th Of the present month
there is to be held at Columbus. o.. a
convention of mayors and councilmen
CT TIA various cities of the United
States It VIII be the first convention
of its kind ever held in the United
States. Its objects are:
First.-The formation of national
cTgani1dtton of the chief executives
and mgnbers OF councils of cities in
the United States.
Seeond.-The bearing of addresses ON
important municipal topics by dgstin-
gulisted speakers.
Third.-The general discussion of all
questions pertaining to the adnfnfstra-
ton Of all branches of municipal work
by MAYORS and couneilmen from all
parts of the country.
Fourth.-T,he Interchange of ideas
and knowledge on municipal problems.
such as viii result from the experienced
city officials coming in contact with
each other.
Arrangements for entertaining those
who shall attend are complete in every
respect, and while a royal time is not
promised. there lis certain to be one
when many mayors and councilmen
are gathered together.
We do not know whether our own
mayor ana council are going to attend
this convention, but we rather hope
tiloy will. They are splendid examples
of what mayor and city council in the
wild and woolly west are. some more
splendid, perhaps, than Others. They
would nave real good time, and suf-
fering public would get much needed
rest from the continuous performance
of che council, while transferred 10 new
scenes that performance would add to
the gayety of at least one nation.
The convention is to listen to adj
dresses on important municipal topics
by distinguished speakers. That is ex-
actfv in line with cur council's chief
characteristic. The members. ait least
some, have made themselves distin-
gulshed by their speaking. The mayor
himself could deliver a most Interest
inG and instructive address on Prom
eses and Performance" while the coun-
cllnnen might join in a symposium on
How Not to Dc It." On this subject
! they would speak as these having au-
thority and large experience.
The MAYOR and council would prob
ably learn much as well as fmpart much
knowledge, especially might ,they learn
much about How to Get There" a
subject in which it is generally Though!
that the majority of them are deeply
interested. Then they should go in the
interest of the public, shat public in
whom they have always been so much
! interested, for be 1t remem bered thai
home keeping youth have ever homely
wits"
The convention viii not be full. COM
plete and rounded out unless the mayor
and council Of Salt Lake City are in at
tendance.

IT DOESN'T PRODUCE REVENUE

The preamble to the Dingley bill de-
scribes it as IAN act to provide revenue
for the government and to encourage
the industries OF the United States"
There has been some revival of the in
dustries of the country (there is an
abundant chance for Improvement YETI
and supporters of the Dingley bin de-
clare that that measure is the cause
of the revival Their claim is open to
dispute. but it shall not be disputed
here at this time. IF the Dingley bill
is accomplishing its second object no
one can claim that it is accomplishing
its primary object. which is to provide
revenue for the government. In this
respect it has been lamentably weak.
in fact it has been signal failure,
and If the deficit under the new tariff
bill for the first month shall be re-
peated for all the months of the first
year of its existence then as a deficit
producer it VIII have beaten the record
OF the Mckinley law in the last year of
its existence. And why should it not d?
The difference between the two laws
is one Of degree and not of kind. the
Dingley law having greater degree
of protection than the Mckinley law;
but the latter law plainly and hon
estly declared its purpose TO be to re-
duce the revenue
During the month of August the rev
enue Of the government. from all
sources, was S1s,94S, POS, while the ex-
penditures were $SS. 2s5. 900. leaving a
deficit Of s14,951, 795. Is there any i'm
provement in this over the Wilson
German law? The existence of the de-
felt under the new law is explained
by those who favor it by saying that
it is owing to the heavy importations
made in anticipation of the enactment

Our smiles will blossom day and night;
No more we'll be forlorn;
Each home shall ring with laughter light
When Kansas cuts her corn.

The nobler lights for which we yearn,
With time to live and love snd learn.
