AN AMERICAN PRINCESS Ro-
NANCE.

When an American-bOrn woman mar
ries a foreign prince for his name that
she may be called a princess and
afterwards she forms an alliance with
man who is nothing more than an
adventurer, the American people be-
come disguised with her. When such
a woman rushes into print in a for
eign newspaper to explain how Amer
lean children are educated with a view
to asserting their independence, land,
when necessary, Drawing the worlds
prejudices and calumnies, and all for
the thinly disguised purpose of justi-
flying her own scandalous conduct
they feel outraged with her. This is
what the. Princess de Chimay has been
doing.
She writes to Brussels paper. Like
the heroine of a yellow backed novel,
she tells how her marriage was a
union CT nobility and wealth, but
that, having recognized her error, and
her heart having spoken (poor. dear.
throbbing little hearth, but two
courses were open to her, and she took
the one that required that she should
leave the marital domicile. THE di-
vorce laws were not made for moth
ing" she says, and my position Will
eventually be legalized, my marriage
with Rigo being only a question OF
time" And to complete this very
touching little romance it is stated
that the beautiful princess will sing
in a music hall lin music halls short
skirts are de rigeur) while Rigo resins
his bow in the orchestra.
This is all very charming, all per
fectly lovely" but the princess heart,
having spoken once, it is quite likely
to contract the talking habit and
speak again, especially if another
strolling musician who could make the
fiddle talk better than Rigo, MIC
Rigo, should chance to play beneath
the balcony where she sits, sadly and
sweetly gazing at the moon, for all
romantic princesses have a balcony
where they sit, and sigh and sigh and
sigh.
The American people never took
kindly to Daisy Miller as a typical
American girl, but then they will take
far less to the dear princess as one
Then Daisy had the very good taste
to go off and die, and she never rushed
into print. Daisy Miller is far prefer
able to the Princess de Chimay.

'THE HAND OF THE SUGAR
TRUST"

When the sugar schedule Was up for
consideration before the ways and
means committee. Bishop Thomas r.
Cutler, of the Lehi factory, addressed
the committee. We take it that some
of the statements attributed to him are
enormously reported. Thus, he is re-
ported to have said that the sugar i'm
ported from Hawaii would give en-
ployment in the United States TO PAS. 900
men continuously throughout the year.
The total value of the sugar imported
from Hawaii during the fiscal year end
ing July 80, 1896, was 81, 1886, 1876. This
would hardly represent the labor of
248.OO0 men in the United States work
ing continuously throughout the year.
The present population of the Hawaiian
ISLANDS does not exceed 100, 900, for the
census Of 1890 only put it at 1890, not
half the number of men that Bishop
| Cutler is reported as saying the sugar
imported from Hawaii would give en-
pioyment to in the United States con-
tinuously throughout the year.
The bishop is quoted as saying:
Utah has felt the hand of the Sugar
into its own market, the American
Sugar company. of San Francisco, re-
duces the price in Utah so that we
have to accept less than the price
sugar is selling for in San Francisco"
What is here stated we all know to
be the case. The menace TO the sugar
industry in Utah is the Sugar trust
and not foreign competition. 1t not
only menaces the Lehi factory but it
also discourages other enterprises in
the same direction. Were it not for
the Sugar trust there would be sew
eral other sugar factories in Utah.
Those who are afraid of the trust do
not fear foreign competition.
The sugar men all want the bounty
given by the Mckinley law of 1890 re-
stored, when it was that very law
which put the life blood into the Sugar
trust by taking the duty off unrefined
sugar, all for the benefit of the trust.
and at the same time throwing away
fifty millions of revenue annually.
There should be no restoration of
bounties but sugar importations should
be used as a means of raising revenue
for the government. The domestic
producers of sugar would then be en-
abled to add to their profits a sum
equal TO the amount of revenue raised
from duty upon imported sugar
Bishop Cutters complaint was really
against an institution of domestic
growth that is the direct result of the
policy adopted by the Republican
party to encourage the sugar industry.
The remedy for that of which he COM
plains is the strict enforcement of the
antitrust law. He is right when he
says that Utah has felt the hand of
the Sugar trust.

for an opinion from County Attorney
Van Colt on the question. If this plan
is adopted, all that it will be necessary
to do is TO present ones tax receipt
and receive the amount of county
school taxes back. This was the plan
adopted by the school board some
years ago in a similar case, and it
worked satisfactorily in every respect.
There is no necessity in the world to
create special fund. out of which
these illegal taxes shall be paid back,
which would require that people go
through all the red tape of making an
affidavit as to the amount of taxes
they had paid, presenting sworn
claim for a rebate and then receiving
voucher for the amount, and then
having to wait, probably, to have it
cashed. The plan favored by Mr..
Spencer is certainly the business-like
one, and should be adopted if there is
no legal objection to it.

HIGH LIFE BELOW STAIRS.

The recent raid upon dinner party
at Sherry's by the New York police
has been denounced as an outrage upon
those who were assembled there and
an infraction of their rights as citizens.
Be that as it may, the party seems to
have been a very scandalous one, to
judge by the accounts in the New
York papers.
The gentleman who gave the party
says that his brother was intending to
get married in a few days, and he
arranged a farewell dinner for him,
and thought that a vaudeville feature
during the dinner Ghe entertainment
being arranged between the different
courses) would be very attractive. He
went to an agency and made the ar
rangement for the vaudeville feature,
and a girl called Little Egypt was en-
gagged to dance the ceuchee-couchee.
This agent said she would appear in
any costume desired. None seems to
have been desired.
When she was brought before the
police authorities she made an affidavit
as to what she was engaged to do and
her style of dressing. Her dress, as
she describes it, was scanty and shock
ing in the extreme. But she was to
dance an encore. In her affidavit she
says that it was a part of her agree
ment with those who engaged her to
appear at the Seeley dinner. that in the
encore dance, where she would be in
the altogether" with the exception of
the slightest drapery, she was not to
confine her antics to a stage, or even
to a table, but was to dance up and
down the room, along and around the
chairs occupied by the guests at the
banquet tables.
Nothing could be more disgraceful
or scandalous than such a perform
ance, and the surprise is that a repu-
table place would for single moment
permit such carvings on. The scan
dial growing out of this dinner at
Sherry's will very likely ruin the bust
ness of the place, as it should, at least
so far as the patronage of reputable
people is concerned.
And this is high life below stairs
in New York 1t is not a pleasant
picture to contemplate, while 1t VIII
produce nothing but feeling of deep
disgust with all decent people. That
such dinners" are of frequent occur
renee, or that they are INDUCED in by
any very considerable number of peo-
pie is not at all probable. They are
merely a phase of life in a great city,
but it is one that is anything but
agreeable to behold, even in big city.
1t is more Indigenous to Europe than
to America.
Living in a small western city we
forget that these things are metropol-
itan in their nature, and if they give
rise to feelings of disgust it should be
remembered that feelings of disgust at
such things are sign of provincial
ism.

The Madrid authorities are becoming
very impatient with the way things
are going in Cuba. They feel that they
are getting no returns for the great
amount of capital they have invested
there. Naturally they are beginning
TO demand that Weyler make some
kind of a showing. Public opinion at
home is turning against him. The idea
is getting abroad that he is ircom-
petent. The same idea preceded the
downfall of CamDos.
1t may be that Weyler is sadly
incompetent, but he has to cope
with system of warfare that
is entirely different from any
thing known in Europe or provided
for in the tactics of any European ma
ton. 1t is the same kind of warfare
that the British encountered in South
Africa when they met the Beers.
If Weyler could bring the Cuban forces
to a pitched battle, it is probable that
he would give a good account of him
self; the Spanish soldiers certainly
would. The Cubans very wisely refuse
to do any such thing.
1t is strange that the Madrid au-
thorities do not realize from all this
how desperate the Spanish cause in
Cuba is. The failures of Campos and
of Weyler are but the failures of Spain.
She could not have put forth greater
efforts than she has had she been en-
gagged in a war with some European
country. 1t is very likely that if the
Cuban insurgents could have secured
recognition d year ago as belligerents
by the United States that they would
by this time have achieved their com
plete independence, and that without
this country in any way interfering.
Whenever Spain realizes the true
condition of things in Cuba she cannot
long delay recognizing the futility of
continuing the struggle. The recogni-
ton of Cuban independence should
soon follow.

TOGETHER.

We loved each other long and true
And at last in April weather.
When the crocus buds were breaking
through,
And the dying moon hung faint in the
blue,
We put to sea together.
For years we sailed on the sunny main,
And then came stormy weather;
Our vessel groaned with the tug and
strain.
And out in the shrieking wind and rain
We faced the gale together.
At times we caught a glimpse of sky
That promised clearing weather;
And light and swift our boat would fly,
Till the clouds resumed their inky dye,
And we stood in the gloam together.
But whether the sky was dark or bright,
Or fair or foul the weather.
Our love was ever the beacon light
That cheered our souls in the darkest
night.
And now we sail in our battered boat.
Unmindful of the weather;
The winds may wave and the clouds may
gloat,
But little we care if we sink or float
So we sink or float together.

A BIPARTISAN POLICE COMMITS
SION.

New York is becoming tired of its
police commission, the model commits
sion that was to make the finest" an
example to future generations for all
time. The police force has been greatly
improved but there is much discomfort
with the commission itself; the mem
bers are continually quarreling among
themselves. Here are some samples of
how things go on in the commission:
Observation-Disclosures I feel toward YOU
as Tommy Atkins did toward Fuzzy
Wuzzy' in kipling's poem after he had
smashed the British square. ITO fight
i'm 'arf an hour Will last me arr a
year." l am going out of town tonight,
but I suppose we will have another row
at the meeting next Wednesday,
Parker-Tll be glad to see you when
you get back, Roosevelt.
Parker told you of the statement
of one man, who said that you were
the only one of the lot who did not
take brides. and the reason was be-
cause you didn't need the money. Did
not call your attention to a letter
accusing you of protecting a gambling
house kept by friend of yours?
Parker-Is it not a fact that at the
time you spoke to me about the mat
ter you were formulating charges
against me before the mayor and that
you hoped to use this against me. and
that was the reason you kept it secret {?
Roosevelt was surprised and
grieved at the charge and 1 did lay it
before the mayor.
Roosevelt suppose the Sullivan
matter will come up at the next meet
ing?
Parker-At any time. I am always
glad to have charges openly made
They are less harmful than secret at
tempts against my honor.
Parker have nothing to do with
Senator Sullivan. 1 know what he told
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-05

me, and it was that he had received
the rating from you. What / stated
IN the board TO your face / so state
here now. Senator Sullivan did tell
me in this room that he had received
the rating of a cousin of his from you.
Roosevelt-Yes, And he stated TO me
that you had given him the ratings
of a dozen men.
Parker-That is absolutely false.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he told me that
you began your conversation with him
by mimicking me and Mr.. Andrews.
Parker-That is true 1 did mimic
you. He was correct in that.
Parker-Do drop Andrews. Between
ourselves, Roosevelt, you know An
you say he swears to. You are prac-
tically one.
This is all very entertaining for a
while but as a continuous performance
it becomes monotonous. Such badinage
as that which passes between Roose-
welt and Parker is hardly of that high
intellectual order that people care for
much of it. One New York paper says
that all that restraints the Infatuated
commissioners from leaping at each
others threats is the fear of publicity.
They are getting along so nicely that
this fear must soon leave them and
then they can indulge in physical
contest as well as in intellectual bouts.
Should things come to such a pass,
most people would be inclined to place
their money on Commissioner Roose-
welt, though they might lose it.
1t is suggested that the legislature
shall take a hand in the matter and
in some summary manner dispose of
the unruly commissioners. 1t is much
to be hoped that the legislature will do
no such thing. To summarily dispose
of these unruly police commissioners
would be to eclipse the gaiety of the
nation if not of the nations.
