NO NAME CALLING NOW.

The opponents of free silver have
been very fierce and loud in their de.
nunciation of the advocates of it
There is scarcely-a crime that a traitor
could be guilty of that they have not
accused the advocates of free silver of
Traitors" regulators" anarchists"
have all been among their stock
phrases. The use of them showed how
frenzied and unreasOning had become
those who employed them. Just now
there is much talk of war with Spain
and some preparations for var But
since this talk became serious and ac-
tual war-like preparations have been
undertaken, this silly talk of the GOLD
standard advocates against the free
silver men has ceased. How absurd,
how ungenerous, how unpatriotic it has
been is shown in the sudden hush in
the presence of real prospective dan
ger. There ism [ an anti-silver man or
paper in the country today that would
have the temerity to say that the sill
Yer men are Gislnyal to the government

In the presence of a possible foreign

in the piping times of peace that they

THE QUESTION OF FUSION.

Ephraim Enterprise: The question of
uniting silver men for the campaign this
fall has been discussed a great deal in ali
parts of the state, and the opinions as TO
what is the best way to accomplish this
desirable result, are many and varied.
The Democrats, being the majority party
in the state. has naturally taken a lead
ing part in the discussion. and while
many individual Views have been ex-
be done until the state convention lays
down the policy for the party. In this
connection il is interesting to learn the
views of some of the leading silver Re
publicanS. or those who were termed sill
yer Republicans two, years ago. The Salt
Lake Herald has interviewed Hon. c. 5.
Varian. Hon. w. II Dickson and Hon.
Frank Stephens, and these gentlemen. who
have been the foremost silver. Reoubli-
cans in the state, have expressed views of
the situation.
After all the view stated by Mr.
Stephens is the logical one. Thera should
be no middle ground in this question. For
years the people of Utah have been fight
ing for silver and their natural Dlace Is
in the party that upholds the doctrine
they have been preaching. How would it
have been had conditions been reversed
ifAhe Democratic party had gone over to
the goldbugs and the Republicans had
come out squarely for silver? Why. if
have been 100 Democrats left in the state.
The silver Republicans should unite with
the Democrats and all fight under one
banner. Let them attend and take part
in the Democratic primaries and conven-
tions and support it's silver platform and
candidates. and they will be accorded all
the privileges enjoyed by Democrats.

STILL WAITING.

It lacks but & few days of being a
month since the Maine disaster oc-
Cured. 1t has been a month filed with
anxieties and alarms, but the people
are not so easily alarmed and excited
as they were: when any extraordinary
piece of news now comes, they want
to know its source, and they take it
with a great deal of salt. until it is
thoroughly authenticated. They have
learned that there are plenty of sensa-
ton mongers, and that they never tire
OF sending out sensations so long as
they sell; but they have been deceived
by the cry of wolf so many times that
when it is raised now they pay little
or no heed to it.
Wait" is still the requirement of
the hour. The people have every con-
fidence in the president; his manage
ment of foreign affairs since the Maine
periodically and patiently awaited de-
velopments, acting as becomes the pres
ident of the United States in the pres
ence of a grave situation, but not idle
the meanwhile.
1t viii not be Ions before the board
of inquiry viii have finished its work
ard rendered its report Much has been
said about its findings, but it has all
been conjecture; it is proper that it's
findings should be kept secret until the
investigation has been completed and
the boards report made. 1t is probable
that the president has been advised of
the progress of the investigation, and it
is right that he should be; the people
would want it this way.
It will not be long now before every
thing connected with the Maine disas-
ter, so far as the board of inquiry
could ascertain the facts, viii be known,
and until that time the only thing to
do is to wait patiently and suspend
judgment a few days or few weeks
are of no Importance where the posi-
bilities depending upon the result of an
inquiry are fraught with such momen-
tous consequences.

of ofrense which it has deemed deserv-
ing of its attention. 1t was an easy
step 10 lynch!ng for murder or homi-
eide regarded as murder. by the friends
( of the victim. and such lynchings. by
a crowd of angry men. have become
common. Thet next easy step was
iynching for minor offenses by few
men, in the absence Of d crowd" and
that step has been taken in not few
instances in this state and in others.
Since Christmas, one colored man was
, shot down in the door of his home by
a handful of men who 'mistook him
for man who had incurred their dis
pleasure. and another was beaten TO
death by a party of regulators for vio-
lation of a contract regarding his la
Dor. A little later a white man was
shot down and beaten, for slanderous
utteranceS, by a relative of the woman
slandered, who was backed in his
personal administration of the law by
a number of his neighbors. All these
incidents were passed as being very
much matters of course.
The next step was the lynching of
a colored man for no offense whatso-
ever. except that he had been appoint
ed to the place of postmastsr-and his
whole family was lynched with him,
their house being fired at midnight.
and man. woman and children shot
ing home.
The next step was reported yester-
day, from a neighbOring state, Geor-
gia, where the mob had already
reached and passed the stage of kill
ing a colored official on account of
his color. The transition to killing a
white official on account of his poll
tics was easy. and was made without
hesitation.
1t is a long way from lynching a
black brute" for an atrocious crime,
to assassinating a white federal Of
fetal for no offense. but tho successive
steps are short. and the mob has taken
them in swift order. The warning so
often sounded as to the tendency"
or rather the certain and rapid course
of the lynching evil. has been fully
justified by events under our eyes.
There are further possibilities. The
tendency is not exhausted nor limit
ed. Other steps forward and down
ward can be taken beyond the point
now reached. 1t is hut o short one
from lynching a white federal official,
because of his politics. to lynching
white state official-from governor
down-because of his politics. 1t is
but step beyond that to lynch
ing any white man for any
cause. 1t is but one step be-
yond that to surrounding any white
man. home in the dead of night and
shooting him down with his wife and
children as they flee from its burning
walls. 1t is but one step further to
the acceptance of the rule of the
Malta" or like secret murder soci-
cites; of assassination as an unpleas-
ant but tolerable incident of our
civilization, as we already tolerate
open murder: of a condition of prac-
teal anarchy and savagery, under
professed system of lawful government.
Lynching is either the result of
popular desire for revenge or an in
diligence of popular prejudice. With
little encouragement, there is no crime,
no matter how insignificant in itself,
that it will not assume to regulate.

AN UNPUT QUESTION.

That was a very nice question that
Hon. Huebert Valentine Dun
comb, Conservative, proposed to
ask the parliamentary secretary
for the foreign office, but did
not. He proposed to ask whether,
in the event that the United States
should get into trouble with any ma
ton, Great Britain would place her
navy at the disposal of this govern
ment; and this because of the identity
of interests of ali English-speaking peo-
pie. Had the question been put, the
government would hardly have an
swered in the affirmative; it would most
likely have parried it in some way.
But was ever such a question pro-
posed to be asked before? 1t seems
impossible that any man, in a national
legislative body, would even think of
asking such q question, if he had his
wits about him. There is no such thing
as interpellating the government in
congress, but if any member of the
house should get up and announce that
he proposed TO introduce a resolution
inquiring whether the war making
power proposed to place the American
navy at the disposal of Great Britain
in the event of complications between
Great Britain and any foreign power,
he would be met with peals of laugh
ter and yells of derision. 1t is not i'm
probable that the Hon. Mr.. Duncombs
question, if it should ever be put,
would be met in the same way. But the
Hon. Mr. Duncomb's declaration of his
intention to put his question shows that
he is a nice, kind hearted man. some
what after the Picllwickian order.
