while neither bimetalIists nor goldbugs
feel that the president can be abso-
lutely relied upon. If the congressional
elections this fall should result in the
return of a Democratic house, it would
be almost an impossibility for the pres
ident to secure another nomination.
The fact that the elections had gone
against him would be used as an IN
answerable argument against him.
Having lost in 1898. there would be the
ever-present fear of repetition of the
same thing in 1900. The next presi-
Dental election is too far of to make
any predictions as to candidates or
anything else but it is by no means
improbable that General Harrison may
loom up prominently as a candidate.
And he would be a very good one.

Mr.. DOOLEY ON CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Chicago Post: The approach of
Christmas is heralded in Archey road
by many of the signs that are known
TO the less civilized and more prosper
Gus parts of the city. The people look
poorer older and more hopeful than at
other times. The bake shops assume
an old country appearance of gayety.
The saloons are well attended. Also. if
you have your eyes about you, you
may catch a glimpse now and then,
through n frosted window pane, of q
stunted Christmas tree laden slenderly
with glass balls and ropes of red pop
corn, the work of painful hands after
the children are abed. Mr.. Dooley knew
Christmas was coming by the calendar,
the expiration of his quarterly license,
and Mr.. Hennessy coming in with a
doll in his pocket and a rocking chair
under mis- arm.
"Prisints:' said the philosopher
"Yis," said Mr.. Hennessy. Il had to

that 7 wuddea't buy any Christmas

efflgy and examining it with the eye
OF an art critic. 1T closes its eyes; yis,

IT Was q. Gem.

Salt Lake Broad AK: The Christmas
edition of The Salt Lake Herald was a
gem in every sense of the word. It con
sisted of thirty-six pages which were
highly illustrated with cuts Of the lead
ing state ard county officials of Utah.
Idaho and Wyoming. It contained a
minute description Of the various re-
sources Of our new state. its thous-
ands and thousands of readers ought
TO feel very grateful to The Herald
management for its splendid Christmas
edition and they ought to send extra
copies of it to ali portions of the world.

Prepared For Winter.

Youths Companion: Teachers in the
public schools of large city hear many
stories. some of them amusing. some of
them pathetic. A young woman who
teaches kindergarten in Boston, upon
learning that one of her little pupils was
sick. went to visit her.
The teacher had been to Katie's home
before, and so had no difficulty in finding
the two little rooms at the top of tene-
ment house where Katie and her mother
lived. The mother was absent, and Katie,
Well wrapped up. was sitting up in bed.
After the usual inquiries and condol-
ences, the teacher noticed that the little
girl seemed to speak with some difficulty,
and said:
Kate, I am going to examine your
lungs"
''Yes'm," responded the child. dutifully.
and Miss c. began to loosen the child's
waist After removing it, she found layer
after layer of flannel. which she IN
fastened with some difficulty. Satisfying
herself that there was no danger of
pneumonia, she began to replace the
child's dress, when Katie began 10 cry.
My motherll be awful mad at YOU
when she gets home and finds what you've
done"
why. Katie, what have 1 done?"
You've unfastened all my fiannels and
ma had just got me sewed up for the
winter"

INTERVENTION IN CHINA AND
IN HAWAII.

Speaking of the situation in China
and the far east, Senator Morgan says:
! eff partition involves the abrogation
of treaties this country would be left
to make terms again with each Euro
pean nation separately in the territory
/ to which it's sovereignty extended.
Therefore, unless the powers now am
/ bilious for territorial extension take
/ into account the Importance of Ameri-
can commercial relations with China,
it will be necessary for the government
to intervene in self-defence."
There is no keener, more aggressive
Hawaiian annexationist in the country
today than Senator Morgan; even Dole
and his cabinet seem lukewarm be-
side the Alabama Hotspur. He thinks
that if China is to be cut up and par
celled out the powers engaged in the
business should take notice of Ameri-
can commercial relations with China,
and unless they do this that the United
States should intervene. AS to just
what our rights in this respect are, IN
der the rules of international law, we
cannot say, but there seems to be some
reason in the position. The point we
desire to get at is this: If the ma
tions that may partition China and ex-
tend their sovereignty over various
portions of the country are bound to
take notice of our treaty rights and
respect them, then why are not the
United States bound to take notice of
Japan's treaty rights in Hawaii and
respect them? Japan takes the posi-
ton that this country is bound to take
notice of her treaty rights in Hawaii,
and that has been her contention right
along. Senator Morgan and all the an
nexationists would ignore Japan's con-
tention in this respect, they claiming
that the extinction of Hawaii's exist
ence as an independent nation extin-
guishes all treaty rights granted by
her to any and all nations. II
Hawaiian annexationists are right in
their contention. then why would not
China's Practitioners be right in con-
tentien that the extinction of Chinese
sovereignty would extinguish all treaty
rights granted by China?
II the United States have a right to
intervene in China, in the event of the
partition of that country by the pow
ers to prevent their treaty rights,
why has not Japan the same right
to intervene in the event of Hawaii
being annexed to the United States?
II is the fact and not the manner in
which q nation ceases to be indepen-
dent that is the important thing, and
so far as treaty rights are concerned
it makes no difference whether indie
pendence is lost by involuntary parti-
ton or voluntary annexation.

"The counterfeit silver dollar dated
1904 has run against the fact that it
contains too much silver, and also with
notice from the mint that no silver
dollars were coined that year." says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. If the mint
has given any such notice it is very
strange. for Director Preston, in his
report for 1896, reports that in 1904,
1850 silver dollars were coined. In
the same year there were coined $751;

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Ogden Press: The Evening Press does
not believe the defeat of Hanna. though
he is the present head of the Republican
organization of the nation, would be q
party calamity. On the other hand ii be-
lieves his defeat would have a healthful
influence. He has proved himself more of
boss than q statesman and leader, and
the party needs no bosses.
Logan Journal: Mr.. Bryan's vote by no
means indicated that he was the cham
pion of q dead issue. and the enthusiasm
with which ne is received in all parts
of the United States would indicate ito
a man uD a tree that the issue which
he represents is increasing in proportions
and vitality, and will be vigorous enough
IN 1900 to overcome all opposition.
Ephraim Enterprises: Several big Phil
adelphia banks have been toying with the

robbing poor people is legitimate business,
the same process when applied to the
wealthy class becomes stealing. In other

they pinch.
