ing hard fight for new trial in the case

alleged to have been sustained from blow
which Gates struck Mrs. Thomas while
trying to take a hen coop from the premises
which the Thomasesl had, leased from him.
A new trial is asked for ON the ground that

NoN-PARTIsANS ANSWERED.

There was no difficulty in disposing
j of those lawful money" bonds. There
was quite a rivalry, in fact. among the
purchasers.
Mr. Robertson was wrong when he
stood up in the city council and ser
iously declared that lawful money
bonds could not be sold. Either ne was
culrably ignorant of the facts, or he
had an object in trying to fasten a
bond of gold upon the people of Salt
Lake City.
Mr.. Buckle took the same position eX-
actly. He insisted upon having a gold
clause in the bonds, because he knew
the buyers would exact it. He was far
more interested in complying with the
requests of certain money lenders than
in shaping the deal according to the
best interests of the taxpayers.
These councilmen claim to be silver
Republicans" or did when that organ
ization was in existence. They are
probably Republicans without hyphen
or prefix now. Another silver Re
publican" in the city council was Chris
TOPPER Diehl. He favored a gold clause,
too. He said there wasn't time enough
between July and September to sell
lawful money" bonds.
Every ''non-partisan" member of the
city council voted for the gold clause at
every opportunity that was presented
They gave various reasons. none of
which have seemed to pan out.
The bonds We're sold easily, and the
strongest objection made to them came
from the "non-partisan" and silver
Republican" members of the city coun-
ell. Voters should not forget this cir
cumstance. 1t means more than the
promoters and supporters of non-parti-
sanism are willing to admit.
And it should not be forgotten, either,
that every loyal Democrat in the coun-
Gil voted first. last and all the time for
lawful money bonds-the kind that
were sold.
The Herald called attention at the
time to the gallant stand of the Demo-
cratic councilmen, to the suspicious at
titude of the mon partisans," and
claimed that lawful money bonds
were as salable as any other kind.
The action of the on-partisans in
the council was fragrant; the contra
diction to their claims is most COM

CONDITIONS IN SPAIN.

That is u very remarkable article
which appeared in Ell TEMPO of Mad
rid yesterday. 1t presents such a pic
ture of conditions in Spain, and by a
Spaniard, too (the article is attributed
to Senior SilveIa), as has rarely been
given to the world. 1t shows that
Spaniards of all classes are Indifferent
to the result of the war; and the loss
of colonies that have belonged to Spain
ever since their discovery.
But why should the people of Spain
be so indifferent to all this? Because
the people of Spain have been since
the time of Philip II an oppressed,
down-trodden, tax-ridden and priest
ridden people. To them the govern
throned, no matter what the temporary
form into which the government was
moulded, was an engine Of oppression;
they regarded the colonies simply as
receptacles into which were poured
their blood and treasure-a curse, in
fact. The war with the United States
has been to the Spanish people one of
the least of the evils from which they
have suffered so long. They have suf-
fered SO long and so much that all ca
lamities have become the same to them,
and it is a matter of indifference
whether they come from within or
from without. The Spanish people know
that never again will they have to send
their young men across the Atlantic to

WHY DID THEY DIsBANDq

The promoters of the fusion move
ment, both papers and politicians, have
insisted right along that the great
mass of the Democratic party were in
favor of fusion, and that those oppos-
ing it were few and without influence.
Chairman Jones was imbued with this
idea, the fusion schemes having caused
letters to that effect to be addressed
to him from various parts of the state.
If the mass of the Democratic party
were for fusion, and only an uninhuen-
tial few opposed to it, why have the
silver Republicans disbanded their
party organization and joined their
the party of the st. Louis platform and
the gold standard? Either the repre-
sensations of the general desire for flu
sion were false or else the protesta-
lions of the silver Republicans of a de-
sire for fusion were false; or perhaps
both were false.
Why did the silver Republicans dis
band and abandon the fusion move
ment? Will our morning contemporary
be so good as to tell us and an anxious
public why?
Well may Democrats who had been
Republicans:
Perhaps it was right to dissembIe
your love,

ABNORMAL AFFECTIONS.

Yesterdays dispatches contained a
story Of abnormal affection between
two girls who killed themselves for love
of one another. They loved each other
like man and woman it was said of
them.
1t is hard to understand such freaks,
but once in a while they go upon the
record. Several years ago the entire
country was startled over the strange
crime OF Alice Mitchell. who killed
Freda Ward at Memphis because they
could cot marry.
A similar case was reported from AL
toCna, Pa, year or two later. Miss
Emma Fox killed herself in the pres
ence of Birdie Boate, with whom she
appeared to be infatuated. The oa!y
reason she assigned was that of I'M
requited love.
Sallie Springer and Mary Brinkman
fell in love with each other at Wheel
irg, W. Va, in 1894: the Springer girl
mascueraded as man, procured IL
oerse and married Mary. They de-
parted for the west to live together
In the same year there was a sensa-
tional case of that character in this
city. An attachment sprang up be-
tween young married woman and a
girl. and the two eloped. There was a
great deal of talk about it in the papers
at the time.
1t is evidently a form of insanity.
There can be no other explanation of
such perverted nature. There are
freaks among people as well as among
rocks AID trees.

will experience relief. Things are so
bad in Spain that it is inconceivable
that they could be worse. and the peo-
PIE of that country realize this.
Senior Sifvela, or whoever the author
of this remarkable article may be, says
that the nation has been so chloroform-
ed that it seems in danger of collapse
from the weakness of the hearts ac-
ton; that no matter where the doctor
puts his finger he feels no pulse. That
is the natural result where the treat
ment of a people has been such as to
crush hope. and ambition, to reduce
them to the state of serfs and slaves.
1t may seem a strange thing to say at
this time. but the war with the United
States will yet prove blessing TO
Spain.
