THE COAL WAR.

1t is very rare thing that a coal
war is inagurated at the approach of
winter; such wars are usually inaugur-
ated in midsummer when people are
Iraying for cool weather.
At the present time the people of this
city are witnessing the almost UMPIRE
cedented spectacle of price of coal
war. It astonishes them. for they can
not understand it any more than they
can understand a rate war among deal
ers in ice in the summer. While they
cannot understand it they can benefit
by il. and make a very material saw
ing on their winter coal by taking adj
vantage of the war, for the war, like
all modern wars. is destined to be of
short duration. People would do We'll
to take advantage of the present COM
paratively low price of coal, remem-
bering that that which can be done to-
day should never be out off until to-
morrow. And then the dealers are all
protesting that they are giving two
thousand pounds to the ton, telling GUS
toners that If they have any doubts
as to weight they can go to any scales
in the city and have the coal weighed
and the dealers will pay for the weigh
ing. Surely this is the time to buy coal.

ton for free coinage might. be made
But there is no straddle any more. The
party platform reaffirmed by the ma
tional federation of Republican clubs
this year, is a plain, blunt reminder
that silver sentiment is out of place
in the Republican party 1t is not a
thing of the past. 1t is the living, au-
thoritative, unquestioned, irrevocable
statement of a. cardinal principle of Re
publicanism, a tenet of the faith to-
day, a doctrine to which individuals
may demur, but to which sub-organiza-
lions must subscribe.
Republicans who go before the peo-
PIE of Utah with Mckinley men at the
head of state and county committees,
with Mckinley men on state and coun-
ty tickets, with a platform full of praise
for Mckinley and the alleged prosper
Gus conditions McKinleyism has
brought about, with an endorsement of
McKiniey's financial policies, surely do
not hope to deceive voters with their
reaffirmation of that silver plank of
1895, which is as much out of place in
modern Republican platform as an
angel would seem among the slums of
New York.
People are not such fools as the Re-
publicanS of Utah are trying to make
the world believe. They cannot be
made to swallow the silver utterances
of a party that endorses every policy
put forth by Mckinley.

COLONEL BRYAN's ORDERS.

Colonel w. J. Bryan was in Washing

seriously i'll, and was soon around, but
not feeling quite so strong as before
, his Illness. To fully recuperate he de-
cided to make a short visit to the
White Sulphur Springs, Virginia. Be
! fore he had undertaken to put his de-
cision into execution he received orders
! to Immediately rejoin his regiment at
Jacksonville. He had no alternative
but to rejoin his regiment, which he
cheerfully did.
| The incident has been seized upon by
some over-zealous but unwise newspa-
per friends to make it appear that Col
onel Bryan was ordered back to Jack
sonville not because his services were,
required there but as a species of petty
spite towards him. Such contentious.
no matter how we'll intended, cannot
but be annoying to Colonel Bryan, for
it brings his every action, no matter
how trivial, into prominence and makes
him a perpetual issue He is now first
of all soldier, and he cheerfulIy oheys
every order given him, as a soldier
should. We do not believe there lives
the person who can truthfuily say he
has ever heard a single complaint from
William j. Bryan about the treatment
he has received in the army; he was
never a complaining man, and he will
certainly never be a complaining sol

To attempt to make an issue out of
Colonel Bryans every act or every or
der he, as a soldier, receives, is be-
meath a self-respecting persons or pa
per's dignity. When he offered his
services to the government the Repub-
lican press of the country sneered at
him and sought to attribute the basest
and most selfish motives to him. Dem

the despicable motives to Colonel
Bryan's 'superiors that Republican pa

DoDGING EVERY QUESTION.

! The Republican party Of Utah is
fully as inconsistent on other ques-
tons as it is in it's opposition to Mr..
| Roberts. There is lack of sincerity
about every move it makes. Its lead
ing organ has declared that the tariff
is not an issue, that it cannot be made
an issue, for the simple reason that the
! Democratic tariff was high enough to
satisfy any reasonable Republican"
and for the further reason that the
country had passed beyond the stage
wherein tariff legislation could in any
wise benefit it. And it's leading orator.
full of honors and covered with praise
heaped upon him by his party and it's
press, has investigated the workings of
the Republican system OF tariff protec-
ton, and, as a result of that investiga-
ton, he confesses to his constituents
and warns his party that il is "a form
of robbery"
This does not deter other Republican
leaders, who have not investigated this
matter for themselves, from going be-
fore the people of Utah preaching pro-
lection and advocating the perpetuity
of the most infamous and iniquitous
tariff law that ever disgraced the fed
eral statute books. Nor does it prevent
the very organ that repudiated the
measure some time ago, that declared
tariff agitation to be a waste of time
pending the settlement of the silver
question, from taking up the thread
bare topic again for the purpose of de-
ceiving the people. as Republican or
gans and speakers have deceived them
before.
Whenever an organization adopts as
motto Anything to beat the Demo-
Gratis, any style of warfare may be
expected. When it calls for "any COM
bination' to accomplish it's end, why
shouldn't it adopt any method as well?
If Republicans are reversing them
selves in this campaign, if they are
cheering leaders they secretly despise,
marching beneath banners of which
they are truly ashamed, following a ma
tional organization they claim, in pri-
vate. to distrust, clamoring for a tariff
they inwardly dread, shouting for silver
yet working for gold, complaining of
conditions they have repeatedly con-
doned, resurrecting eorpses they them
selves inferred and over which they
chanted the requiem, accompanied by
their dolorous organ, it is not so
strange after ALL Men who have been
as far apart as Bryanites and McKin-
leyites have been for two years cannot
be expected to rush together suddenly
in perfect order. 1t will require a few
months, perhaps, to eradicate every
trace of Organism from the regular Re-
publican organization in Utah. But it
vii be done. 1t is almost finished to-
day. There is no other way for a Re-
publican state organization to live ex-
cept as part Of the national organiza-
ton. As long as Republican national
conventions straddled the silver ques-
ton there was reason, perhaps, for
some to hope that some day a declara-

A Joke Involves a Tribute.

There never was more lovable worker
in the ranks of newspaper men than Am
brose William Lyman. who died few
days ago in New York from disease con-
tracted at Santiago. The Sun bureau at
Washington, where he presided from 1884
to 1889. was the rendezvous of ali the
choice spirits of newspaperdom. The New
York Tribune reprints this little jC-ee on
involves a merited tribute to the dead
correspondent:
Soon after Mr.. Lyman moved to Mon
tana there was fractional fight in his
party there. and in the election the Demo-
Gratis lost their representative in the SEN
ate. Mr.. Lyman went to Washington to
look after the distribution of offices in
Montana, not being himself an applicant
Tor any place. With Ex-Governor HauSer
he called on Secretary Carlisle to talk
about the candidates and the offices. APP
parently forgetting the name of one of his
callers, Mr.. Carlisle asked suddenly
Who is this man Lyman at Helena?''
Ex-Governor Hauser asked .'Why?" and
the secretary said that President Cleve-
land had been considering the names of
all the candidates. and did not know how
to choose for fear of offending either fac
ton. The secretary finally SAID:
Il think / will sweep all the
aside and appoint Lyman. He's gvo,f

at night and know that the Helena office
is perfectly safe
