WHOM SHOULD TIE PEOPLE
ELECT.

It Is only a week to election time.
and the citizens have about made up
their minds as to whom they viii vote
for. The campaign has been very
spirited one. and into II have entered
some issues never before presented to
the people They have seen a move
ment inaugurated whose purpose is To
take the power Of naming candidates
from the people themselves and place
ii in the hands OF q few To further
this movement they have seen the
power Of associated wealth and the
power Of g, great church invoked, yet
they have not become dismayed. They
have also seen a determined and per-
sistent effort made to ignore the sill
yer question, though if all the parties
had been in favor of it. as some claim
they are, it would have been the easiest
thing in the world for them to have
declared their adherence to free silver
and SO have eliminated the question.
We ask the voters to read over the
platforms of the various parties hav-
ing tickets in the field, and see which
one best voices the sentiments of the
people. Then let them compare and
see which bids fairest to give them the
kind of a government they want. Then
let them look over the list of, candi-
dates. The Democratic party hasn't
named man or woman with whom it
is not willing TO entrust the reputation
Of the party, and whom it does not be-
heve TO be exactly the person to dis
charge the duties of the Office to which
he has been nominated. There is not
one but that is well and faYorably
known in this city, not one against
whom any charges can be brought.
Why should they not receive the in
| dorsement Of the citizens of Salt Lake
City, Each and all are entitled to the
confidence and support of the people.
The best guarantee Of good government
in salt Lake City would be the election
of the Democratic candidates.

TT viii be observed that Premier
Salisbury ignored the existence of the
commission, addressing his note of de-
cIinauon TO the regular ambassador,
MT. Hay. Perhaps it was his intention
to automatically hint that the regu-
lar channels of diplomacy are, in his
Judgment, the proper agencies through
which to conduct this, as well as an or
binary international negotiations" says
the Chicago Inter-ocean- And then to
think that he should do this when the
commission went abroad on an i'm
piled invitation" from Great Britain.
If Salisbury thinks that the regular
channels are the proper ones through
which TO conduct negotiations regard
ing bimetallism as well as other mat
tors in which two or more nations are
interested. the opinion Of mankind gen
orally will be with him.

path that viii finally lead US to sue
cess. Don't be deceived by the gold
bug element who is using every effort
to draw away the attention from this
vital question. Free silver is the issue
from now until success will crown our
efforts. We see the effects Of the clos
ing down of our mines, hundreds of
our citizens are deprived of earning a
living and the burden has become
doubly heavy upon those that can. Eel
low citizens, don't forget the object we
are after. don't be led astray by those
influences that tell you that politics are
not necessary in this city election"

TR1RVNE,g STRANGE COURSE

Yesterday morning The Herald pub
lished a number of extracts from the
editorial columns of the Tribune of
December. 1899. and January. 1891
These extracts all related to the cleo
ton OF a member Of the territorial leg
islature, a body that could have no
more direct influence on national af-
fairs than can a city council. yet our
contemporary insisted that a silver
man should be elected because of the
moral influence the result Of the cleo
ton would have on the silver ques-
ton. Our contemporary was then anx-
ious that the neople Of salt Lake
county should declare their true senti-
,nents on the silver question that the
authorities at washington and the
friends Of silver throughout the coun-
try might know positively how they
stood
In January. 1891. the silver question
had not become tie vel defined issue
that it became in 1896, when it wag
made leading issue of the presiden-
tiaI campaign. the Democrats declar-
ing in favor OF the free and indepena-
ent coinage Of silver ana the Repub-
licans against il The Republicans
won. but whatever people may have
believed in the last months Of 1885 as
to the result of the election, the final
settlement of the silver question. in the
closing months of 1897 there are very
few who believe that it has been finally
settled; on the contrary, everybody is
now convinced that the congressional
elections of 1898 will turn on the silver
question. while many are of the opin-

A correspondent asks the Detroit
Tribune why the market price Of silver
has gone down, and it makes partial
answer as follows; lone of the undis-
nuted and jneisputable facts Of history
IS that the decline in the value OF silver
did not begin until the decentralization
by the civilized world had begun 1t
is an indisputable fact OF history that
fhe decline of the value of silver had
not only begun, but had proceeded q
long way before the fundamental
cause given by the director Of the mint
came into existence The statistical
history that is used by all students, by
silverites and goldbugs alike, is that
which comes from the compilations of
the director OF the mint Fortunately.
there is no controversy about the
facts Restore silver to its proper place
as a money metal and there will be no
further decline in IS price; on the con-
trary, there win be q rise in it.

THROUGH IRELAND A-wHEEL.
F. F. Davis Entertaining Lecture Be-
fore the Y. NJ c. A. Last Night

Frank F, Davis, the lecturer and ora
tor, described his experiences on a BIZ
cycle through Ireland at the Y. NJ. c. A.
hall last night to large audience The
lecture was Illustrated by stereopticon
pictures and was full of interest. The
points visited We're vividly described
and many of the romantic old irish
legends were charmingly told. During
his remarks MIR. Davis said: "Blarney
, castle which was founded by the Nc
Carthys over 400 years ago. now lies In
almost total ruins. Only the donjon still
remains erect. At the summit of this
you may kiss the far-famed Blarney
stone. Considerable inconvenience ac-
companies this act, however. and few
avail themselves of the opportunities
offered. The stone lies on the parapet,
several feet below the point reached by
the stairway, and in order to kiss the
stone, one must be held head downward
at full length
The beauties of the Lee valley and
the Killarney lakes and many other in
tcresting and romantic spots of Ireland
were described, and several of the old
Irish legends. which are ever full of in
terest. were told.
The speaker wove the inc\ents of the
trip with the history and romance of the
country In a charming manner
