The Pension Abuse.

1t is admitted by the greater portion of
thu citizens of our country that the list Of
pensioners should undergo rigid exaui-
nation in order to detect the coImorants
who are illegally preying upon the treas
ury and put a stop to such abuse OF tho
Nations bounty. Too many men and
women are claiming pensions for services
rendered and disabilities that were never
incurred in tho service Of the Government.
A law should be passed debarring women
from Claiming pensions on the death Of a
husband to whom they were married. after
January 1st, 1898 Young women should
not be encouraged to marry old soldic.s
who will soon die, in order that they may
draw pensions during their natural lives.
Again, there is another abuse to which we
wish to call attention to witt the payment

may be trained to start forward with a
mighty burst of speed when the alarm
telling of a great confederation is
sounded. In the late senatorial race
there were attached TO some sulkies
alarms, fire alarms. And how they
were sounded! Sounded until they
were heard throughout the whole state,
while the horses trained to respond to
them bounded forward in a wild en-
deavor to reach the scene of the fire,
which was somewhat of the nature of
an ignis fatuus. There is no denying
that the sounding of the gongs and the
ringing of the alarm bells did create a
terrible noise, which added greatly to
the confusion. And how excited some
of the horses becamei In a race it is
just as bad to have a horse that
plunges and rears, paws the ground
and snorts when he hears an alarm bell
as to have horse that halts when he
hears gong. If, in the late race, some
knew that certain horses would halt
at the sound of d gong, others knew
that others of the horses would run
for dear life at the sound of an alarm.
In the next race no one should be per-
mitted to come onto the track with a
gong or an alarm attached to his suiky.

York World within a week, which, of
course, is since his selection by Major
Mckinley for the post of secretary of
the treasury He starts out by saying
that our whole monetary system is
the resultant of makeshift legislation
and unscientific compromises, and
that it is time reform began. His
views he summarizes as follows:
To sum up, the defects of our pres
ent currency system are:
L. Confusing hetercgeneity which
needs simplification.
2. The greenback controverts the
principle of paper money, viz: that
every note injected into the CONNER
cial system should represent an ex
isting Commercial value.
3. The treasury note is a standing
evidence of a foolish operation-the
creation of debt for the purchase on
a falling market of a commodity for
which the purchaser has no use; it
lies open to the just charge of being
both idiotic and immoral.
4. The national bank note nearly
conforms to the true principle of paper
money, but the unreaSona bic require
ments for security paralyze its eff
ficiency and operate to destroy it's
elasticity
8. The silver certificate encourages
the use of silver to larger extent
than is consistent with the safe pres
ervation of that metal on parity with
gold.
1t is plain that he is no friend of
silver, except that he is willing that it
shall be used as subsidiary coin, and
will consent to it's further use through
International agreement. The most
notable thing about his financial views
is his desire to retire the greenbacks,
that system of money which is dearer
to the Republican party than the con-
stitution and the higher law itself.
Major Mckinley must indorse this
view also, else he never would have
selected him for his secretary of the
treasury. But when he attempts to
get this policy retiring the greenbacks
enacted into law he will find that the
Republican party is joined to them as
Ephraim was to his idols

QUALIFICATIONS FOR ACTORS
AND ACTRESSES.

The Paris Figaro has been getting
the opinions Of distinguished French
men on the question whether an act
ress can be successful in her profession
and still remain virtuous. Coquelin,
cadet, says:
You ask me whether purity is in
furious on the stage to an actress
who has to act parts involving passion.
1t is certainly harmful. She must have
suffered, wept, shrieked, bitten her
pillow, have been desperate, have
sobbed at a mans door, have loved,
rushed madly through the fields think
ing of him who is everything, in order
to be able, by recollecting it, to ex
press all this on the stage. Actors
have all been more or less ambitious,
curious, jealous, angry, in love, vim
dictive, full of hatred, violent, hypo
critical, melancholy, joyful, broken
hearted, i'll, almost dead, laughing,
sardonical, amusing, raging, lyrical
realistic, out of their senses, intoXi-
Gated, cowardly, heroical, jolly enough
to smash things, sad enough to turn
the whole world blue; the comedian
must recall what he has felt in ex-
pressing all these things on-the stage.
The same holds good for actresses.
What you have not felt you make up,
but it is not the same thing unless you
have genius; there is little genius
there is much talent; you may guess
many things when you have the gift of
the stage, but it is much better TO
have seen enacted or to have yourself
lived through what the authors ask
of you. Therefore, no maidens, or as
few Of them as possible, on the STAGE
In America it is deemed absolutely
essential to the success of an
actress that she have been mar
ried and divorced, have escaped
from a burning hotel in her robe
de mutt, and had her diamonds stolen.
Having all these, histrionic ability is
supposed to result. If it does not, so
much the worse for histrionic ability
and a suffering public.
One word of caution to those who
aspire to be actresses. NJ. Coquelin's
conditions must be actual experiences
and real feelings, and had without pre-
meditation. No stimulation will do.

GoNGs AND FIRE ALARMS.

We have a contemporary that is
never so happy and delightful as when
it points a moral or adorns a tale, but
when the moral is pointed and the tale
adorned in one and the same article it
attains the same effect that a Whistler
symphony in color has. It pointed a
moral and adorned a tale in its Low
Bridges" yesterday morning. 1t des-
cants on Low Bridges in its very
best style, and tells how during the
late senatorial contest the cry of
church low bridge" would be shouted
to some member of the legislature, and
down he would duck. Good as this
part is, its illustration with a story
about Lucky" Baldwin is still better.
Our contemporary is inimitable at such
stories, so the illustration is reproduced
entire. Here it is:
The actions of some of the members
of the present legislature remind us
of a story that was current in the
west some 20 years ago. 1t was
that Lucky" Baldwin had picked up
somewhere a trotting horse that dis
tanced all the horses that could be
brought into the field. The betters on
the other horses were about broke
When one morning a man came along
and said to the owner of one of the
outside horses, make a race with
Baldwin; let me fix the sulky and let
me drive your horse, and | will win
the race" When asked his reasons.
he said, Never you mind" His air
was so confident that the race was
made and he was given charge of the
horse He did nothing but fix q eronor
under his sulky where he could work
it with his foot. When the horses came
to the track he was careful to get aWay
a little in advance of Baldwin's horse.
and when the other horse with a ire
mendous stride came up beside his
sulky, he touched the gong, and the
Baldwin horse stopped. The secret
was, the man had been a street-car
driver and had driven the horse that
Baldwin had purchased, on a street.
car, and he knew that at the sound of
the gong, the horse, with his training,
would stop.
Splendid tale! Beautiful morall The
moral is that the legislative horses are
all right for breed, bottom and speed,
but that their early training has been
somewhat bad. 1t may or it may not
have been; we neither affirm nor deny.
In that senatorial race, which was
fast and furious, some sulkies- NAV
have had attached to it a gong that.
when sounded, caused some horses to
halt through sheer force of habit. for
all know How use doth breed a habit
in a man." If a horse may be trained
to halt when gong is sounded, so he

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

In his address yesterday before the
legislature in joint session, Judge Pow
ers took occasion to refer to some very
silly talk about reviving the Liberal
party, and to condemn it. The judge
said that some have urged that, be-
cause of certain features and results
Of the late senatorial contest, present
party lines be wiped out and political
division be had upon the old lines He
condemned the suggestion in strong
terms, saying that the Democratic
party is great enough to right any and
all wrongs that exist within it. His
condemnation was right and proper;
what he said of the Democratic party
is true
It is perhaps charitable to say that
those who make such suggestions do so
in the moment of great excitement
and do not really intend them. But
they should not be made, for they are
silly and absurd in the extreme and
indicate unstable minds. During the
late senatorial contest there was some
wild and i'll considered talk about do
Ing iIlS OF IndL OF the OlIeI lullS,
but those who INDUCED in it will
doubtless be glad to have it forgotten,
while no one will care to remember it.
How little faith in the principles of
Democracy must that Democrat have
who proposes to return to those condi-
lions condemned by Judge Powers.
When was the time that the great
Democratic party was not able to deal
with any problem that came up for
solution? The principles of that party
having controlled the destinies of the
nation for the greater part of its exist
ence, are those principles inadequate
to meet and solve such problems as
may arise to vex the people of Utah?
He who says they are is no true be-
lever in the principles of government
as laid down by Thomas Jefferson.
The duty of Democrats in Utah is to
get together, frown down all talk
tending to division, subvert all private
grievances or disappointments to the
party good, close ranks and march for
word battling for the triumph of the
party two years hence.
