SILVER SENTIMENT IN MARY
LAND

When Major Mckinley was elected
president and Mr.. Bryan was defeated,
it was said the issue Of free silver was
ignored the truth of the old saying that
Truth crushed TO earth shall rise
again. The silver sentiment of the
country is as strong today as it was a
year ago, and instead of showing signs
of abatement it is showing signs of
increasing.
Ex-Mayor Robert C. Davidson, of
Baltimore, in an interview with the
Sun of that city q few days ago said,
with reference to the present political
conditions in Maryland:
1t is useless to attempt to conceal
the fact that the free silver heresv is
as vigorous as ever, and the proposal
for Maryland Democrats to eliminate
the discussion of the question in our
local campaign is plainly mere sub
terfuge, ennanating from the hope that
the voters may be lulled into a false
sense of security, and in the general
disgust with Republican methods of adj
ministration assist in the election of a
legislative ticket favorable to the cause
of silver. It is of transcendant impor-
championed and strengthened by the
election Of a senator from this state
who is not favorable to schemes of in
fiation and reputation most repugnant
to every principle of common sense and
honesty.
Local issues are utterly insignificant
in view of the dangers which confront
US, and thoughtful citizens Will not be
deceived by the soDhistries of those
who attempt, by insiduous methods, to
mislead the public and to divert at
tention from the real object toward
which their labor is directed.
Why. here only within the last few
days it has developed in one of the
counties that no nomination is to be
made for the legislature unless a pre-
election promise is made to vote only
for a free silver senator.
The free silver heresy." as Mr..
Davidson prefers to call it. is as active
in other states as in Maryland, and
where a United States senator is to
be elected. as in Maryland, it is the
very thing to do TO exact a pre-elec-
ton promise from candidates for the
legislature to vote for free silver
senator. 1t will not do to take any
chances on the financial views Of can
didates for United States senator.
The anti-silver men Of the east are
finally awakening to a realization of
the fact that after all the silver ques-
ton continues to be the one in which
the people are most interested. Unless
all signs fail, the congressional cleo
tions of 1898 win turn upon the fnan-
cial issue. The people may make up
their minds to this

boast of such lofty permanent resi-
dence. These Twin lakes lie within
short range of the great carbonate
mining camp of Leadville. and thus
illustrate common feature of Colorado
landscape, namely, that every mining
camp has its lake near at hand sor

All thai is here said of Colorado's
lakes can be said of Utah's lakes, and
more.
Palmer lake is only two hours away
from Denver. if the speed of the train
be near forty-five miles an hour. Great
Salt Lake is only twenty minutes away
from Salt Lake City at the same rate
of travel. But what a difference be-
tween them, We have no Intention or
desire TO disparage Palmer lake, (there
isn't enough of it to disDarage) and at
best il is a small sheet of water Hr.;-
fcially formed, while Great Salt Lake.
what a grand sheet of water it is! And
nowhere in the world is there A-er
panorama of mountain scenery than
that which surrounds it. The view
from the lake to the east and the west,
to the north and the south, is one that
impresses itself upon the mind TO be
carried into the world beyond the
grave for the purpose of comparison
with the celestial scenery OF the realms
of eternal bliss. And in the tops of our
Hottest mountains there are innumer-
able lakes so clear and crystalline that
the angels may look into them and
there see themselves and the glories
of the heavens perfectly reflected. Not
Colorado or any other state has more
beautiful lakes than those which nestle
in the tops of tine mountains at the
head of Big Cottonwood. And just
such lakes are to be found in the tons
of all the mountains OF the state. How
true it is that a thing of beauty is
joy forever And how beautiful are
the mountains and the valleys, the
lakes and the streams of Utah. 1.-The
groves were Gods first temples" but
the mountains are his grandest.

at Birmingham. The expert shows
that England is threatened in her su-
premacy as the iron master by two

ores she has been 50 lag , using;
and, second, the rapid ; VIII of

Commenting upon the British ex-
pert's article, Consul Parker says he is
continually being asked by British
manufacturers whether the American

"NATIoNAL DEMOCRATS" OF
KENTUCKY.

The state executive committee of the
NATIONAL Democracy of Kentucky
has issued call for a state convention.
The important part of the call is as
follows:
To the Democrats of Kentucky: A
state convention of the Democrats OF
Kentucky who adhere to Democratic
principles and are opposed to the dec
larations and doctrines of the Chicago
and Frankfort platforms OF 1896 and
1897. is hereby called to meet in the
city of Louisville, Kentucky, on We'd
nesday, July IA, 1897, at o'clock p. m.
standard time. for the purpose of nomi-
mating a Democratic candidate for
clerk of the court of appeals, TO be
voted for at the ensuing November
election.
The basis of representation shall be
one delegate for each two hundred
votes cast for Cleveland by each coun
ty and legislative district at the presi
Dental election in 1892; and one dele
gate for each fraction over one hun
dred votes; provided that in any coun-
ty not having cast as many as two
hundred votes at said election of 1892
such county SHALL be entitled to one
delegate in said state convention.
No one expects National" Demo-
crat to accept the Chicago platform,
though that platform declares what the
Democratic doctrine is. and a national
convention alone has the power and
authority to formulate the party's prin-
ciples. OF course the Kentucky and
other Democrats VINO did not accept
the Chicago platform had a perfect
right to form a new party and call
themselves National or Parochial
Democrats. The latter would have
been the more fitting apDellation con-
sdering their number
The really amusing thing about this
call is that the Democratic vote Cor
president in 1892 is taken as the basis
for apportioning representation in
stead of the vote for the Palmer and
Buckner election in 1896 Had the lat
ter vote been taken it is much to be
feared that the convention, where the
basis of representation is to be one
delegate for each two hundred votes
cast for the presidential electors by
each county and Legislative district in
1892, would be rather small. Five dele
gates from Jefferson county would con-
stitute the convention.
How reactiorary these National
Democrats of Kentucky are is shown
by the fact that they pretend to ig-
more the election of last year. when in
fact is was epoch making.

A Tariff Problem.

The new tariff says that I shall pay
$3.50 tariff for the privilege Of buying
knife worth 81. says ]. A. Wayland in
the Appeal to Reason. Congress says
1 will become prosperous by paying
$3.50 for a 81 knife. If 1 buy knife
like it made in this country, I do not
pay the $3.50 to the government but
pay it to the home monoDolist, who
can charge the same sum if ne pleases.
Now. what am l to do-be patriotic
and buy the home article and let the
government starve. or support the
government by buying the foreign ar
ticle and let the home monopolist
starve? Is the man patriot who sup
ports the government or must he sup
port a corporation to be a patriot?
Darned if l know where / am at. And
then again suppose a fellow is too poor
to buy knife at all-what is he?

UTAH AND COLORADO LAKES

The people of Utah love their state
and are loval to it. and yet they fail
to appreciate it in one particular es-
pecially. They take dwelling in our
peaceful and fruitful valleys as mat
ter OF course, but. they are far from
fully realizing the grandeur of the
scenery by which they are surrounded.
\ consequence OF this is that the world
is not advertised of the scenic attrac-
tons of Utah. Almost everybody has
heard of the natural attractions of
Colorado, but VINO has heard of the at
fractions of Utah? One. and the CHEZ
reason for this, is that the Denver and
Colorado papers never tire of telling of
the grandeur of the scenery of their
state.
The Denver Times speaks of Colo
RADIOS lakes and praises them after
this fashion:
There is Palmer lake, only two hours
away from Denver. Every tourist
passes it. every citizen manages to visit
it at some time or other during the
year. Four lines of railroad find them
selves unable TO get beyond it without
stopping a few minutes for luncheon or
for sightseeing.
Then away uD on Pixies Peak trail
is the lake of an old morain, and on the
shoulder of the peak are seven small
natures reservoirs in a group, called
the Seven lakes. They all reflect the
mountains as clearly as the famous
Mirror lake of Yosemite valley
But the pride of the state is the
group known as Twin lakes. situated
far up in the 10.oOO-foot altitude. and

AS an Illustration of how stocks in
Wall street are sent up or sent down,
the following from the New York
Times of last Wednesday could not be
surpassed:
Oregon Navigation preferred had a
smart advance yesterday to Sc. a gain
of BE- points for the day. The stock
went up on the announcement that a
quarterly dividend of 1 per cent had
been declared on the preferred stock.
Insiders were credited with what little
buying there was. and the advance
attracted considerable attention in the
street.
After the close Of the market. how
ever, it was reported that the dividend
story had been a mistake. According
to these later reports dividend of 1
per cent on the preferred stock was
declared. but it was for the year and
not for the quarter. as generally I'M
derstood, and was so declared out of
the earnings of the company for its
fiscal year."

Speaking of the approaching visit of
President Mckinley to Utah, the San
Francisco Call says:
According to recent reports from
Washington it is expected congress will
adjourn early in July. and in that case
it is said the president viii make a
trip to the west and be at Salt Lake
City July "a. 1t is added that he has
not yet determined where he will
spend the summer. and that he may
decide at Salt Lake upon an extension
of his trip westward. so as TO include
California.
1t is well understood that at present
affairs in Washington are so uncertain
that a fixed programme for the sum
mer could not be arranged by the pres
ident. The reports of his plans are.
therefore, to be taken with a consider
able allowance for future changes. Ii
is fair to assume, however. that if he
can undertake western trip he will
gladly do SO. for he likes TO travel and
meet the people; he has made many
tours through the east and north, has
been south as far as New Orleans. and
naturally must have desire TO see
this side of the continent
This being the condition OF the affairs
of the president this summer, it would
certainly be worth our while to re-
quest him through our delegation in
congress to come to California for the
holidays. He has inducements to come
as far as Utal and from that point ii
would be comparatively easy for him
to reach the Pacific coast. He Will see
here about the only large section Of
the Union ne has not yet visited. and
for that reason the trip viii doubtless
be as attractive to him as his coming
would be to as.

An exchange says that for a piece of
in5ecile legislation, the law passed by
the Pennsylvania legislature taxing
unnaturalized adult male citizens two
cents a day easily carries the palm
for the present season. How such a
tax is to be collected where a person
has nothing or claims to have nothing,
the Harrisburg solons do not explain.
The only apparent motive for such a
law is q desire to force foreigners to
take oul naturalization papers, but it
will strike most observers that the
Keystone state is in bad straits when
il feels compelled to resort to methods
like this to recruit its citizenship.

placing a duty on cotton. the New

The adoption Of the cotton duty is to

shown that the policy of protection is
continually gaining adherents in the
southern states. This latter manifesto
