TRANSFER OF VOTERS.

There appears to have been some
misunderstanding between registrars
and voters over the matter Of transfers.
Such differences happen at each recur-
ring registration time and always give
rise to more or less bitter feelings. The
statutory provisions regarding this
matter are plain, and it would seem
that they are incapable of being mis-
understood or misinterpreted if any
proper regard is paid to them. These
provisions are found in sections 797 and
79S of the revised statutes of Utah QS9S).
If voter moves into another election
district and does not get transferred
still he does not lose his vote, but may
cast it in the one from which he has
removed, if he be registered there, for
subsection of section SOC Or. S. 1899
says "a residence cannot be lost until
another is gained So voters need not
be apprehensive about losing their
votes.
While registration agents should be
strict in their adherence to the law and
be careful to see that it is complied
with in every particular, yet there
should be no attempt TO deprive any
voter of his right to vote nor should

PLEDGES MR.. ELDREDGE.

The Salt Lake Tribune pauseS long
enough in it's anti-Mormon TRADE to
pledge Mr.. Eldredse in advance that
if he is there. no caucus of his party
will prevent his voting as the men of
Utah desire him to vote
We have contended from the first that
the organ of spite and inconsistency
was Mr.. Eldredge's mouthpiece. Some
of his friends have been whispering a
denial of this around in secret places,
but The Herald gave Mr. Eldredge a
chance to deny it for himself, and he
would not. He refused because he
dared not repudiate the utterances of
his organ, because he hopes to gain
Mormon support through John Henry
Smith and non-Mormon support
the assaults made by the or
gan upon his chief opponent.
And so it pledges him lin advance"
In view of its record what do its
pledges amount to. It's declarations ere
"a hours after date and
denied completely in a week The only
cry it ever adopted that wasn't changed
in seven days is the motto: ANY COM
bination to beat the Democrats of
Utah out of their boots"

SUCH A SILVER MAN.


! "Mr. Eldredge is just as good a sill
yer man as is Mr.. Roberts, says our
reckless Republican contemporary.
Which simply means that, according to
! the organ, a man who voted for Nc
Kinley is just as good a friend of silver
IS is one who supported Bryan. 1t
means that the New York Mail and Ex-
press is just as good a silver paper as
the Salt Lake Tribune is; that Arthur
Brown is as friendly to free coinage as
Frank Cannon is; that a vote for Nc
Kinley was as much in favor of bimet-
allism as was a vote for Bryan.
What idiotic nonsenseI For years the
Republican organ has cautioned the
people of Utah against the encourage
ment of treachery TO the principle of
free coinage. Today it counsels treach-
cry to principle, slavery to party. the
advancement of McKinleyites, the en-
dorsement of all Of the policies of the
president, the election of Mckinley fol-
lowers to congress, to the state legis-
lature, to county Offices and all. The
voters of this county have been told
time and again how necessary it is to
keep the goldbugs down.
Why, it is a new thing for the Repub-
lican organ to speak of McKinleyites
as silver men, The change is signifi-
cant, not to say suspicious. After Ar
thur Brown, Alma Eldredge, Wesley
x. Walton and Dennis Eichnor declared
their allegiance to the gold ticket put
up at St Louis, the Tribune watched
them and their followers very closely.
Upon one occasion it called attention

THE COLOSSUS OF coALvLLE.


The differences. in the Republican
party are bridged. The yawning chasm
caused by the st. Louis earthquake has
been SPAWNED at one point only. In
other places it has been tried without
success. But only in Utah where the
stretch appeared to be the widest could
a congressional candidate be found to
satisfy both sides, to stand upon both
platforms, to declare himself for both
financial theories.
Like mighty Colossus, Alma Ell
dredge has risen to the occasion. And
the way that he performs the split"
is enough to turn French ballet dam
Ger green with envy.
But the ancient straddler fell as the
modern one will fall in November.
There will be a political earthquake and
this Colossus of the crossroads will
be shattered.

WHAT ARE THE FAcTsq

4
In its desperation The Herald is
striking wildly in an impotent and i'm
! pudent effort to convince the Tribune
or inconsistency. What are the facts
Tribune
Our morning contemporary answers
It's own question evasively, making a
vague explanation of its course, and
! offering a ridiculous excuse for its pres
ent attitude. We insist that the record
states the facts, and that there is no
better evidence of Republican incon-
/ sistency than the files of the Republi-
can organ.
The record shows that the Republi-
can party is pledged to the single gold
| standard; that Alma Eldredge sup
ported the gold ticket in 1896: that the
Republican party has not changed its
platform; that Alma Eldredge is still a
Mckinley supporter; that the platform
upon which Mr.. Eldredge is running
for congress endorses every policy
ably put forth and advocated by Pres
ident Mckinley
What are the facts?" That the Re-
publican organ classed Mckinley men
as goldbugs two years ago; that Yves
ley K. Walton was so designated, al
though he was then a member of the
state executive committee, of which he
is now chairman; that D. C. Eichnor
was a goldite then. although he is
chairman of the Salt Lake county Re
publican committee now.
The facts are that the Republican
state and county organizations this
year are in the hands of the gold men,
the men who voted for Mckinley and
Hobart, the men who stood by Arthur
Brown at the Mt. Pleasant convention
of 1896.
The facts are that the Republican
candidates on the state ticket are sup
porters of Mckinley and the St. Louis
platform; that the majority of the
candidates on the Republican legisla-
tive tickets are McKinleyites of the
Arthur Brown stripe; that three
fourths of the Republican nominees for
county offices are avowed followers of
the st. Louis ticket; that the Republi-
can organ is going back on it's declara-
tons, and the only excuse ii has to
offer is that it wasn't humored sufff-
GENTLY in its Whims.

obstacles of any kind be placed in his
way when he goes to register or asks
to be transferred; on the contrary he

sacredness of the ballot, and upon a.

Doubts based upon foolish suspicious
are not worthy of consideration. But
when it. is known that the Republican
state and county organizations are in
the hands of Mckinley men, that the
tickets are made up of Mckinley sup
porters, the doubt is certainly well
founded

OREGON SHORT LINE MATTERS.

When it became known that there
had been some changes in the personnel
of the board of directors of the Oregon
Short Line railway and that gentle
men identified with Union Pacific inter
eSts had been put on the board, there
was much speculation, and some appre-
hension, as to the significance of it ALL
The first question asked was whether
it meant that the two roads were to
be merged into one and the affairs of
both managed from Omaha; in fact,
this was the only question asked
though it was asked in many different
ways.
The question can be answered in the
negative. There is to. be no change
and present arrangements are to con-
tinue. This is matter of congratula-
ton for all. Present arrangements are
certainly for the interest of this state
and the territory tributory to the two
roads, and this means that they are
for the interest of the roads as WE'LL
Then it will be pleasant for those who
have had charge of the roads interest
in this city to remain here, and
pleasant for the patrons of the roads,
for the gentlemen in charge of Union
Pacific and Oregon Short Line af-
fairs have won the respect and esteem
of all who have come in contact with
them and of the community generally.
The roads are fortunate to have such
representatives, and the business men
of the city would regret having any
changes made in the personnel of the
roads representatives.
The people of the city, and of the
state, will be glad to know that there
are to be no changes in the relations Of
the roads to each other and the state.

YOU ALL KNOW HIM.

You have seen him in the street car,
Peering out of bullying eyes.
And his feeble mouth hung oDen
In a mute and mild surprise
He pursued you with his glances
Without conscience cause or check,
Till you left him-this distressing

AS you lodged around the corner,
There you met the pest again,
With his head turned at an angle
That would kill the best of men;
But he didn't seem to mind it.
And you longed his face to wreck,
For he was of that wide species,
Genus homo rubberneck.
When you hurry to your office,
There he waits you in the hall,
Craning like a mad fiamingo-
Open mouth. big eyes and ALL
All, tbs useless to evade him,
For he always keeps ION deck"
Faithful to instincts that made him

This makes the deficit for the ten
months, apparently. $l5. 134, $50, but it is
only apparently, for it is much greater,
for in the receipts for November and
December, 1897, are included the sum of
$18, 194, 61S26 for the former month, and
the sum of $31, 715, 2O414 received from
the sale of the Union Pacific railroad
and not from customs or in
ternal revenue, so that the
sum of $4,000, S22.4O should be
added to the apparent deficit under the
Dingley law, making the true deficit
under that law for the ten months $685.

great a revenue producer the Dingley
law has been.
Large monthly deficits continue, and
probably will continue for some time
1t is true the revenue is increasing,
but the reason for it is the existence
of the war revenue law of June IS, 1898.
1t was absolutely necessary TO enact
that law to produce anything like
enough revenue. Had there been no war
it would still have been necessary to
supplement the Dflgley law with other
revenue legislation, for it was a most
dismal failure as a revenue producer
To claim that the Dingley law is
proving q great success as a revenue
producer is to claim that lie is true.
