DIsTURss THEM NO MORE.

Goldbug organs of the east are hi
lariously happy over the fact that ev-
cry Republican state convention held
this year has endorsed the policies of
President MCKINLEY.
1t was really more than they had
counted on from strong silver state
like Utah. But the "silver Repub-
lican'' organization disbanded in this
state, and a few of its leaders went
boldly and defiantly over to the Hanna
pie counter, expecting the rank and
file to follow them.
Eastern goldbugs were gratified to
note that the reunited Republican
party of Utah renewed its fealty to the
regular organization in the first sem
tence of the state platform.
Administration organs rejoiced that
the Republican state ticket contained
only the names of McKinleyites, and
the New York Commercial Advertiser
gleefully exclaimed:
Free silver will no longer be a dis
turbing issue anywhere in the Repub-
lican party"

GOV. WELLS CIVIC VIRTUE.


Governor Wells civic virtue seems TO
be of very spasmodic order Like the
marvellous strength of Gawayne, it in
creases from the frst dawn until the
sun reaches the zenith; the sun having
reached the zenith. his strength wanes
and wanes as the sun sinks lower and
lower in the west until it gees behind
the western hills, when Gawayne loses
all strength.
And so it seems to be with Governor
Wells. AS the campaign opens his
civic virtue grows and grows until it
reaches it's zenith on the eve Of cleo
ton. Thereafter it wanes and wanes
until it is no more.
On the eve of an election his whole
soul suffers a terrific revulsion to think
that a man like B. H. Roberts should
be elected to congress. When it is not
election time he sees nothing whatever
to condemn in B. H. Roberts. Yet the
gentleman is the same all the while,
the same today that he was yesterday,
as he will be tomorrow.
Governor Wells sees. on the eve of
election, a terrible condition of affairs
in the state. When there is no election,
he sees no such terrible condition; then
his civic virtue sleeps.
Governor Wells affects to see a moral
Golgotha in B. II. Roberts. but he

sees nothing of the kind in certain can
against whom charges of lawlessness
and lawbrealfing can truthfully be
made. What is crime in a Democrat
becomes virtue in a Republican, in his
excellency's eyes.
That which Governor Wells con-
dennis in Democrat he condones in a
Republican. Tomorrow Governor Wells
will go to the polls and cast his ballot
for those who are open to all the
charges of lawbreaking that he says
are made against the Democratic can
didate for congress. Where, then, is
the virtue of the position he took. in
the theatre Friday night? AS the es-
sence of crime is intention, so is the
essence of virtue intention. Was the
intention of Governor Wells speech to
aid and vindicate the law, or to aid the
election OF Hon. Alma Eldredge?
If his excenency's solicitude is for
the states good name and the good
name of the people, why is it that he,
the chief executive of the state: that
he, upon whom devolves the duty of
seeing that the laws are enforced and
executed. has not fully investigated the
many rumors of lawbreaking that have
been flying about the state for months
and months? Why is it that they be-
come so important all of a sudden, and
have been treated as unimportant dur
ing many, many months? Why is it
that these rumors become of such vital
importance in one case, and are ig-
nored in all others? Why is it that
Heber NJ. Wells takes notice of them as
a Republican politician, when Hebe1

Wells, as the Republican politician
makes his appeals to the people to vote
against the Democratic candidate be-
cause of rumors about him, when, as
governor of the state of Utah. Hebel
NJ. Wells makes no appeal to the Law
officers to investigate these rumors
Simply because he is playing poll
tics.
! There is no patriotism in the Re
publican campaign, nothing but hypoc
risy. Hypocrites and Pharisees, money
changers in the temple, are the Repub
| licans. Beware of their leaven.

THE TARIFF AND WOOL.

American woolgrowers are not bene-
flied by the Dingley tariff. The sched-
ule is arranged for the purpose of en-
riching eastern manufacturers, and the
difference in the shrinkage between
American wool and the same grade of
foreign wool renders the tariff inef-
fectual.
This is the opinion of President Will
liam A. Lawrence of the National
Woolgrowers' association.
President Jesse N. Smith of the Utah
Woolgrowers' association has admitted
the same thing.
The price of wool has been good for
about three years, because at the same
time it was good all over the world.
Our tariff didn't reach Australia, but
the price was high there.
Just now it is declining all over the
world. and it is declining here. Is the
tariff responsible for this decline?

GLADSTONES AT ODDS.
Wife of the Grand Old Man No Lon
ger Mistress of Hawarden.

ger Mistress of Hawarden-
Washington Post; Good old Mrs.
Gladstone is no longer mistress OF Ha-
warden castle. and the latter hence
forth is no LONGER her home. That is
an intimation which will come in the
nature of something of a shock to su
the many admirers of England's Grand
Old Man on both sides of the Atlantic.
There has been a considerable amount
of friction and unDleasantnes5 in the
Gladstone family since the Old states
mans death, mainly in connection With
the disposition of his estates and in the
control of the property, bad feeling be-
ing engendered in the minds of the sons
and daughters of Mr.. Gladstone by the
altered position in which the widow OF
the eldest Son-namely, the Hon. Mrs.
William Henry Gladstone-haS been
placed by his death.
AS long as the famous commoner was
alive he was regarded as the master
of Hawarden castle, although he had
merely a life interest in the estate, the
true owner having been his eldest son,
the late William Henry Gladstone, who
had inherited it from his uncle, old Mrs.
Gladstone's brother, Sir Stephen Glyne.
And on Mr.. William Henry Gladstone 5
death it was his boy, the now 13-year-
old William Glynne Gladstone, who be-
came the real owner of rhe place.
Yet, in spite of this, the lads mother
was never permitted to make her nome
at Hawarden. When she came there il
was merely as a visitor. She did not
get on well with her dead husbands
brothers and sisters, and 1T viii be
noted that her portrait is included in
none of the innumerable family groups
of the Gladstone family at Hawarden
which have ever been issued to the
public. Nor did she have any say in
the management of what was virtually
her sons estates, of which her sisters
in-law-that is to say, old Mr.. Glad
stones daughters-had far more con-
troll than herself.
The honorable Mrs. Gladstone, who
is a daughter of old Lord Blantyre,
submitted to all this in silence so long
as her distinguished father-in-law, for
whom she entertained the most pro-
found generation, was alive. But there
was no reason for continuing 10 per-
nit herself to be ignored in connection
with Hawarden after his death. all
the more as old Mrs. Gladstone has
fallen into a state of complete dotage,
and does not seem to even realize or to
appreciate that she has become a
widow.
There has been. as I said above, no
little unpleasantness about the whole
matter, which has eliminated IN the
public announcement that the Hon.
Mrs. William Henry Gladstone has now
taken up her residence at Hawarden
castle as it's mistress, where she will
keep house on behalf of her son. the
owner of the estate, until he attains his
majority.
That is to say. Hawarden castle be-
| comes from henceforth the home of the

TRIBUNE HYPOCRISY.

In its final appeal ito the Gentiles,"
the Republican organ reveals the pur-
pose it has had in view since the be-
ginning of its fight on B. H. Roberts.
1t is not content to have those whom
it has been trying to inflame. vote
against the object of its censure. 1t
wants them to vote for Alma Eldredge.
The mask of virtuous Indignation
has been thrown aside at last. and it
warns Gentiles against voting for Fos-
ter. the only Gentle in the congress
sional race.
Then it wasn't sincere in its objec-
ton to the so-called "Asiatic methods"
in which the men and women of
Utah. according TO its own columns,
have been brought UP.
Mr.. Foster has reason to feel ag-
grieved at the Tribune. which raised
his hopes for three weeks. to dash
them down yesterday. The election of
a NIcKinleyite is all the Republican
organ ever wanted. The trail of the
goldbug is over it all. 1t is more a
matter of money than of morals.

INVITED TO SPEAK.

The Democratic state committee ex-
tends to Governor Wells a cordial in
vitation to speak at the Democratic
meeting tonight. since in his letter,
published elsewhere in this issue, the
governor expresses a desire to compare
notes with Mr. Roberts.
If the governor is really anxious to
save the state from the disgrace of old
conditions. which so shock his moral
sense; if he is not making his appeal
for partisan purposes, he will accept
this offer.
1t would be worth going many miles
to hear the governor read the record
of his civil office-holding since his six
teenth year. and then describe the
awful itch for office" that sometimes
induces men to accept his invitation
to aspire to an office.

must resort to brutal invasion of
integrity of the home. then it deserves
not merely the rebuke of disastrous
defeat, but the capital chastisement OF
utter humiliation. The question in
volved transcends that of all public
policies and purposes, and rises to the
alarming consideration of preserving
the personal, private rights of the cit
izen.
The state of Utah alone has the right
to dictate the morals of the individual
citizen; with those congress has moth
ing whatever to do. If before the law
of this sovereign state a candidate for
federal or state Office be indictable for
criminal conduct, it is the province and
duty of the state officials to put in
operation the established legal machin-
cry necessary for his arraignment
Congress cannot take cognizance of a
matter wholly beyond it's province, nor
indirectly assail the sovereignty of the
state of Utah by such procedure. None
know this better than the chief execu-
tive of this sovereign state and the
assault so viciously and so adroitIy
planned cannot even plead the excuse
of ignorance or impulse.
Nothing has so proclaimed Mr.. Rob-
erts' qualifications for the high office
which he seeks as the sublime dignity
and heroic silence with which ne has
borne the yelping assaults of his cow
ardly assailants. and while the writer
of this was his most active and deter
mined opponent in the convention
which nominated him, the magnificence
of his superiority to his assailants, in
all that constitutes strength of char
acter, has completely dissipated every
element Of ODDOSitiOn
He rises today like some grand
solitary obelisk above the dreary
desert of the political medioc-
rity by which he is sur
| rounded, and silhouettes a clear-cut
character against the black background
of political chicanery.
A vote for Roberts is a vote for char
acter, for liberty, for manhood, for
ability and for Titan.

fast and loose with party fealty; there
is no half way house in which he can
rest; he must get into the Republican
camp and stay there, or he must get
out of the Republican camp and stay
out.
Mr.. Bldredge must be very simple
minded, indeed, if he thinks he can
bolt his party on the question it holds
to be paramount to all others and re-
tain his party's confidence and invoke
it's aid when he wants to. The young
est member of an eighth grade debat-
ing society knows better than that.
II Mr.. Eldredge viii stand by his
party on the silver question, which
will be the most important domestic
question before it, the people of Utah
want no such man as their represent
ative. If he proposes to bolt his party
on the silver question, then he will be
a man without a party, or he will be
compelled to join the Democratic
party.
Do not common sense and the inter-
ests of the people demand that there
be elected to congress a man whose
integrity on the silver question is i'm
possible of suspicion? Mr.. Eldredge is
not such a man.
If Mr.. Eldredge remains a Republican
in Washington, if elected, his work
there will only be to the injury of silver.
If he bolts his party. he will stand
alone and so can do no good for silver.
To elect Mr. Eldredge would be for
the people of Utah to throw away their
votes, so far as silver is concerned, or
else to cast them against silver.

THE PRECINCT OFFICES.

If voters are not careful they may,
when they go to the polls, neglect to
vote for the justice of the peace and
constable for their precinct. These are
minor offices and in an election involv
ing so many very important offices
they may be overlooked. This should
not be in any case. for there is no Of
fee, however humble, under our sys-
TEN of government that is not import
ant. Democratic voters should be par
ticlar to vote for their party nominees
for justice of the peace and constable.
Their names will have to be written
in, as they are not printed on the Of
fetal ballot. This must be borne in
mind.
