PARTY LINES AND SILVER.

The Ephraim Enterprise thinks The
Herald is wrong in its effort to keep
too close to party lines in the fight for
silver. II says it is true the Demo-
cratic party was great enough to throw
off the yoke and come out fiat-footed
for bimetallism; and that it is also true
that thousands of Republicans, who
consider principle greater than mere
party name, Loyalty supported the
Democratic nominees, even though the
Democratic platform contained some
planks that were distasteful to them.
These Republicans, it says, recognized
bimetallism as the paramount question
before the people, and stood by that
principle even though it sundered their
former political ties. Let US not drive
these men and women away from us
by demanding that they swallow all of
our political faith or stay outside, -
says the Enterprise. Rather let us
lay aside minor differences and well
come them as the loyal soldiers they
have shown themselves to be in the
battle for the proper recognition of
silver. 1t will take all the forces BIZ
metallism can muster to win against
the combined gold power and we can
not afford to lose a single man. Our
old leaders have gone over to the
enemy, who are united in one solid
phalanx, and it would be suicidal for
the silver forces to let minor differ
ences divide their strength on this
fight. 1t is better to make mutual con-
cessions and all work in harmony"
We like the spirit in which that ar
ticle is written, for it is spirit of con-
Citation and devotion to principle. But
we cannot admit that The Herald has
kept too close to party lines in the
fight for silver. How could it, in fact,
when the Chicago platform declared
for the free and independent coinage
of silver without waiting for the con-
sent of any other nation, while the ST.
Louis platform declared against the
free coinage of silver except by inter-
national agreement? The closer Dem
ocratic party lines are stuck to the
closer free silver is stuck to.
The aid that what are known as the
free silver Republicans gave to the
cause of bimetanism last year was
splendid, and to that aid was very
largely due the magnificent victory
for free silver in Utah in November
There is need to keep the silver forces
united and not TO lose a single man.
And why cannot those who fought for
free silver under the Democratic ban
ner last year fight for free silver under
the same banner next year and in 1900?
AS the minor differences of the past
did not prevent the friends of free sill
yer uniting last year, so there is no
necessity for them to divide in future
years until the great common cause of
free silver triumphs.

The Philadelphia Times, commenting
on the Reed process for tanning
through legislation, says: Every
great invention has it's minor draw
backs and the Reed system is not
without some inconvenience. When
the machine is once wound up to go,
nothing can stop it till it has run down.
and if an obnoxious provision has got
into a bill, it is next to impossible to
get it out Thus the Indian appropri-
alton bill, that was damned through
on Saturday, was loaded with a senate
provision to enable the ST Louis syn
dictate to steal the valuable mineral de-
posits on the Uncompahgre reserva-
ton, one of the reasons why President
Cleveland refused to sign the bill
No matter what the merits of the Reed
system for ''jamming'' legislation
through are, the Uncompahgre reser-
walton should be thrown open. 1t is
true there are valuable deposits of as
phaltum upon it, and no doubt the st.
Louis syndicate would be glad to get
control of them, but that is no reason
why the reservation should not be
opened. Surprising these deposits were
put UP at auction and sold to the. high
est bidder, wouldn't the st. Louis syn
dictate have chance to bid? And what
chance would the man of small means
have to secure any of them? He would

schemes for the revival of business and
the restoration of prosperity, but after
all this is done the revival Of business
and the restoration of prosperity must
come through the efforts of the people
themselves No statutory enactment
can have the magical power to open the
cave where the treasures men seek are
hidden. The TOpen sesame to that
cave is not within the keeping of any
legislative body
The chief value of the new tariff law
will be TO give hope to all those who
placed their faith in the future of the
country on Major McKinley's election.
To give some millions of men hope is
much, it is true. 1t buoys them up and
often leads them to do something for
themselves. This also is much.
1t is really strange how great faith
and reliance many people put in law.
They seem to think there is something
of an occult nature in it, an efficacy TO
cure all our human ills. How they who
so think deceive themselves. A law is
nothing but an idea formulated and
placed upon the statute book. Its power
to remedy the evils at which it strikes
or to further the object it seeks to ac-
complish must rest upon its reasonable
ness and its consonance with the laws
that govern the human mind, and the
real desire of the people to see the idea
triumph. But no law can materialize
those results that must ccme from
physical exertion guided by intell-
gence Hence it is that those who are
building high hopes upon what the
new tariff will do for the country so
soon as it is placed upon the statute
book and has the force of law are
doomed to disappointment All human
ills that are durable are cured by time
and the operation of natural laws and
not by legislative flats.

AID THE CELEBRATION.

The people are beginning to take
an active interest in the Pioneer Ju-
bilee celebration. President Woodruff
has addressed a letter to Chairman
Clawson with the subscription of the
trust of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints for $1,000.
President Woodruff expresses the hope
that at a later day the church will be
| able to make a second subscription.
The other day H. c. NJ. I. made a
subscription of $1,000 to the jubilee,
and some weeks ago Mr.. John Beck
made an individual subscription Of
s1.5OO to the jubilee. Mr.. Beck was
the pioneer in individual subscriptions
and his still stands as the largest. He
set a magnificent example to the
wealthy men of the state and it is to
be hoped they will all emulate it.
The celebration is a matter in
which every citizen of the state should
take a pride. it is to commemorate
the settlement of the state by as brave
and hardy a band of pioneers as ever
trod this land of America where there
have been so many brave and hardy
bands of pioneers. Their march across
plains and mountains to these peace
full valleys was an incident almost
~ IL nff cd
Mexican soil but their ideas and ideals
were all American. And now their de-
scendants and those who have followed
in their footsteps and made Utah their
home are to unite and celebrate the
achievement of the pioneers. No mat
ter what the past may have been; no
matter how the people of the state
may have differed as to the course of
events in Utah, today they are no
longer divided save as. all American
citizens are divided on political lines:
all are united in an effort to make
Utah what she of right ought to be,
that shall be morally and Intellectually
worthy of her boundless and diversi-
fed natural resources. The Pioneer
Jubilee celebration is to commemorate
the founding of this state, to show to
the world the possibilities of this
state. Every inhabitant in the state
has an interest in its success and
should do what lies in his power to in
sure its success. And now every one
should give what financial aid he can
to it. If all will do this, very large
sum will be raised while the personal
interest and enthusiasm aroused will
make success certain. The earlier the
aid is given the better able will the
having the celebration in
charge be to mature their plans and
the more certain of the means of car.

AFTER THE TARIFF, wHATp

Indications are that it will not be
very long before the country will have
a new tariff. But after the country gets
its new tariff. what? Will it solve any
of the questions now before the
country for solution? If it furnishes
adequate revenue for the government it
viii do much; but whether it will do
that is a matter that can only be de-
termined at a future time.
The promoters of the proposed tariff
law and those who believe in the prin-
ciples involved in it think it will solve
those problems that have confronted
the people in their individual capacity.
This is the theory that what men can
not do for themselves the government
can do for them; and it teaches reliance
upon government action rather than
upon individual energy and effort.
The people, acting through their repre-
sentatives, may put into legislative
form all their cherished plans and

A Dubuque, Iowa, man, George Har-
ris by name, has filed a bill in the
federal court at that place to recover
SIC, 900 damages from the Ironwood
camp, Modern Woodmen of America,
for personal injuries. In his bill he
alleges that during his initiation into
the camp he was blindfolded and
thrown about until he fell on the floor
and sustained injuries which kept him
in the hospital for months. and that
his right arm was permanently stiff
ered at the elbow.
1t is really question whether he
is entitled to any damages, for man
who has so little sense as to join an
association, the initiation into which
calls for such barbarism, is entitled to
no sympathy, while he deserves more
or less punishment for being so silly.
Any association, Modern Woodmen of
America or other, that in its initiation
ceremonies finds it necessary to blind
fold and maltreat a novice is only
worthy of condemnation and reproba-
ton. Small wonder that they are usu-
ally secret and oath bound. for most
men would feel like kicking anyone who
should tell to what absurd tests he had
submitted and what fool he had made
OF himself. Such proceedings should
be kept from the knowledge of the
public Harris has his pains for his
labor even if he RECEIVERS no damages.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Gambling on Prayers.

Exchange: Rev. Charles Mel. the chap

endeared himself to the members by his
short prayers as he did to his congrega-
ton by his short sermons. When he first

estly wagered Senator Denison a cigar
that the chaplain would not waste a min
ute in prayer for such an irredeemable
gang of politicians. Vorheis lest The
PRAYER lasted just minute and ten sec
onds.,
The next morning the senator was anx-
ious for revenge. so wagerad Denison an
other cigar on the same proposition The
chaplain cut his prayer seven seconds,
and Vorheis lost again by three seconds.
He knew the pastors reputation. how
ever. and observed that he had cut the
prayer a little, so on reassembling the
next morning he bet Denison another eli
gar and lost by the Amen" So the
betting went on, day after day and week
after week, Vorheis winning about one
bet in ten.
The other evening Senator Vorheis met
the divine on the street and asked him as
a personal favor that he cut his prayer as
short as possible the next morning, as he
desired to call up an urgent measure. The
chaplain readily assented.
Bet you a basket of wine the prayer
doesn't last five seconds said Vorheis to
Denison. as the presidents gavel struck
the desk.
Take you" and both held their
watches.
Ma the Creator of all shower bless
ings on this body. Amen" was the prayer
and Denison lost by two seconds.
