a CASE OF SOUR GRAPES.

Our contemporary had a very bad
attack of anti-Democracy yesterday
quite one of the worst it has had for a
long time. The article was a trade
against the Democrats of Utah because
they do not desire fusion.
1t says the Democrats are all for
office and nothing for principle The
sole object of the fusionists in Utah is
to get Office. using the silver cry as a
pretext to further their schemes. 1t
has been made plain within week that
fusion or the more euphuistic cooper.
ation," means uniting of all parties
for the election of a certain candidate
to the senate; the candidate is put for
ward as the test of loyalty to the sill
yer cause, and not the silver cause
itself
Our contemporary says that even the
brutal Spanish government offers TO
submit the Maine question to experts.
OF course, because it thinks thereby
to escape responsibility for its crime.
Didn't the Republican party blow up
silver in 1873. when the people were
placing their trust in it's friendship Tor
silver, as the officers and men of the
Maine placed their trust in the Span
ish authorities when they went into
Havana harbor?
Our contemporary is never weary
of telling about Mr.. Cleveland and the
repeal of the purchase clause of the
Sherman law. But did not John Sher-
man, the author of the law, favor its
repeal? And was not Mr.. Cleveland
supported by more Republicans than
Democrats? And at the very next ma
tional convention of the Democratic
party did it not throw Mr.. Cleveland
and his policy overheard? This fact
our contemporary suppresses most sed-
ulously. Our contemporary closes its
article with these words:
Surely. it ought rot any longer to be
d concernment to the silver Republi-
cans what these men say or do. They
are simply spoilsmen. They have not
a principle in the world which they
hold as high as they do party spoils,
and this being true, its truth having
been established by their own declara-
tons and admissions, it is debasing for

flags of truce to their camp. The sill
yer Republicans should organize and
ask for the support of honest silver
men, and make a high-minded, clean,
open-handed fight on principle. 1t
might lead to victory, but at best, even
if it ended in defeat, the party would
go out as Anderson and his command
went out of Sumter, with its honest
flag flying and to the music of the roll
of honest drums"
Grand and eloquent in the extreme is
that, telling as forcibly as possible that
our contemporary has been feasting on
sour grapes.

RESULT OF THE MESSAGE.


The reception given to the presidents
message by the people and the press
of the country shows that it is dis
appointment to them generally. It has
been made very plain that the coun-
try viii never consent to give the
president such an authority over the
army and navy as Will permit him to
use them against the Cubans or to do
anything with them that will retard
or frustrate the achievement of Cuban
independence; it is scarcely probable
that the president would do this had
he the power to. but the people do not
propose to make it even possible. Had
the president. IN his message said he
did not propose to do such a thing, his
request might have been granted. The
great fault with the message is that it
lacks definiteness of purpose. The
president appears to shrink from as
Stunning the responsibility of taking the
final steps to terminate the war in
Cuba and bring about its inevitable
result-Cuban independence. He has
now left matters entirely to congress,
and there is every indication that il
will determine upon definite course,
and this mornings dispatches make it
plain that congress will assume the re-
sponsibility and act without much de-
lay; congress viii not again wait on
the president nor ask him to take the
initiative.
This day bids fair to be one that will
prove momentous in the history OF
both America and Spain. The work
that congress will do today will al
most inevitably result in war.

ARBoR DAY.

Friday is Arbor day. The day has
never amounted to much in this state,
but it should in the future, for there is
great need of the development of for
estry in Utah. The schools on that day
are presumed to devote themselves to
the subject and to have exercises APP
propriate to the occasion. The exer-
cises of the day should be of a serious
nature, not merely Of sort of holiday
character. The children should be told
of the great benefit to country of
trees, and how in a country like our
own state trees are essential to its pros
perity. No doubt the exercises do par
take of this character, but too much
stress cannot be laid on the influence
Of trees on climate and the water sup
ply Perhaps the great forests of the
country viii never be replaced by plant
ing. but once the people are aroused
to the Importance of the subject, they
will take an interest in it that will
eventually result in practical forestry
work.
In the April number of The Forester
published by the American Forestry
is a letter from the Hon.
]. Sterling Morton, late secretary of
agriculture, on the economic effects OF
Arbor day. Mr. Morton says:
Whenever any cause, either in the
field Of economics or aesthetics, is
taken up by the teachers and made part

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

great majority of Democrats, reads the
aatIOnal cnaIIInan Well deserved lecture
for his interference in the local politics
of the state. 1t is presumptuous, TO say
the least, for a party which in principle is
opposed to Capitalization of power TO
have local party organizations thus told
what to do in their campaigns.

Ogden Press: From the transformation
that has overtaken the army reorganiza-

formal consideration of congress. the
conclusion is inevitable that the national
guard has a bigger political pull than the

members of the militia retain their status
as voters. while enlisted soldiers relin-
quish the franchise for the term of their
