SALT WATER FOR STREET
SPRINKLING.

So short is the supply of water that
sprinkling the streets has been dis
pensed with to a very considerable ex-
tent While this is very regretable, 1T
is unavoidable. But how shall it be
remedied? No one expects it to be
remedied this year, as the season is so
far advanced, and it is not unreason-
able to expect some rain in the near
future. which will do much to remedy
matters.
Several plans have been suggested
for supplying water for sprinkling the
streets. but not one is so good as that
suggested by The Herald a few weeks
since. This plan is to utilize the water
of Great Salt lake for sprinkling pur-
poses. The supply is inexhaustible,
and it is better for the purpose. The
salt water on the streets would not
only lay the dust thoroughly, but 1T
would prove a great disinfectant and
do much to prevent the spread of dis
ease. 1t would cost something to pipe
the water in, but the use of the lake
water for sprinkling purposes would
release a vast amount of fresh water,
which would be the same thing as in
creasing the supply of water. Ger
tainly the experiment is worth making.
In San Francisco sea water is being
used for sprinkling the streets, and ap-
parently with great success. The su-
perintendent of the street department
work of the Merchants association,
speaking of the use of salt water for
street sprinkling, says:
The city has at last made beginning
in the use of salt water for street
sprinkling. The street department has
ordered the macadamized blocks on
Van Ness avenue, which is sprinkled
at the citys expense, to be Sprlnkled
with salt water instead of fresh. A
standpipe has been erected at the cor
ner of Van Ness avenue and Geary
street. where the main of the Olympic
Salt Water company crosses the Tor
mer street.
Although salt water has been used
only since last Friday, the good effect
of its use is already very evident. The
macadam is binding together. and the
pavement on the blocks below Nc
Allister street is already packed hard
and smooth. In a weeks time dust
will be unknown there, for even the
loose dirt accumulated along the side
of the street is kept in a moist condi-
ton and becomes too heavy TO be
blown about by any ordinary wind. 1t
is reported by the party doing the
sprinkling that two sprinklings of salt
water are more effective than three of
fresh The binding together of the
macadam will also preserve the pave
ment. The supervisors have expressed
themselves as favoring salt water for
LII, f1,n
welcome the time when its use becomes
general.
The suggestion made by The Herald
should be given careful consideration
by the city council.

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN BOOK
ON SILVER.

The Republican party, as a national
organization, regards the silver ques-
ton as settled. and will hencefo~th so
treat it. This is not said as the result
of pure deduction from we'll known
facts, but because the question will be
so treated in the forthcoming hand
book of the Republican congressional
committee. 1t was to be placed in the
hands of the printer last Monday, ac-
cording to a Washington dispatch to
the Boston Herald. The dispatch says
that it will plainly indicate two i'm
portant facts in regard to the view of
the campaign taken by the committee.
One is that free coinage of silver will
not figure largely in influencing voters
in fact, that this question will hardly
be regarded as an issue at all. The
other is that the Republicans are to
base their case almost wholly upon the
record made by President Mckinley
during the past year and a half. The
dispatch closes with this sentence:
Free coinage will be treated as a
thing of the past and not living is
sue"
That is how the Republicans will
treat silver-as thing of the past, as
a dead issue. If they treat it that way
in 1898, will they not treat it the same
way in 1900? What will the Republic
ans of Utah. who are protesting that
the Republican party is for silver, do
in that year? How will they explain
to the people of Utah that the Repub-
lican congressional committee. in the
campaign book put forth by it. treats
the free coinage of silver as a thing of
the past, as no longer a living issue?
The explanation will have to be made,
but it will tax the powers of the best
tumblers in the party to make it so
that it will &C. AS, of the Hanna let
ter, perhaps they will say the commit
tee exceeded its authority in the prem
ises. The campaign book will prove
another thorn in the side of the Re-
publicans of Utah.

THE BEST AUTHORITY.

The Tribune denies that Benjamin
Harrison is a goldbug. From it's own
files proof to the contrary may be
taken. While that ought to satisfy
our contemporary, most people will re-
quire something better.
There is no authority on Benjamin
Harrison's politics superior to Benja-
min himself. In a speech delivered in
Indianapolis in the campaign of 1896,
the eX-president stated that he had al
ways favored the sound money prin-
ciple set forth in the ST. Louis plat
form.
In a speech delivered in Carnegie hall,
New York, in he same year, Mr.. Har-
rison declared that it was within his
power to put the business of the coun-
try upon silver basis when he was
president. He explained how he could
have done it, and said that Cleveland
could have done the same thing, and
he commended Cleveland for taking
the same stand
In that address, in which he confined
himself to the money question exclu-
sively, Mr.. Harrison called the silver
dollar dirty dollar" whose first
dirty errand would be to cheat the
working man."
According to his personal organ, the
Indianapolis Journal, Benjamin Harri-
son has been a firm believer in the sin
gle monetary standard for 20 years.
Benjamin Harrison ought to be the
best authority on his own political be-

! CONVICTED CONTEMPORARY
Sunday morning the Tribune said:

Sunday morning the Tribune said:
Utah Republicans were for silver
when the Utah Democrats were sup
porting Cleveland, the goldite, on a
silver-silent platform. and will be for
it when the Democrats return to their
worship of the golden calf.
The Herald assumed, and rightly,
that the reference was to the Demo-
cratic platform of 1892. The Herald
cited the financial plank adopted by
the Democratic party at Chicago in
1892, thereby refuting the Tribunes as
sertion. By the record our contem-
porary was convicted of ignorance and
malice. Having been thus convicted, it
made an attempt to cover UP its ig-
norance and malice and cited the Dem
ocratic national platform of 1884 as the
one to which it referred. That will
never do. AS political organization
the Democrats of Utah could not have
been supporting Mr.. Cleveland in 1884
on a silver-silen platform for the good
and sufficient reason that that was sew
eral years before the division move
ment on party lines, from which dates
national politics in Utah. The Demo-
cratic platform of 1884 or of 1888, was
not and could not have been meant
when the Tribune talked about the
Utah Democrats supporting Cleveland.
the goldite, on a silver-silent platform"
The Tribune had in mind the Demo-
cratic platform of 1892, and nothing
else and this is proven by what it
said in its issue of Aug. Is, when dis
cussing the same subject. In its issue
of that date it said:
The people have dropped upon the
fact that the men in control of the De-
mocracy of Utah are mere place-hunt-
ers, and that IF THE DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM OF 1900 DOES NOT ANY
MORE MENTION SILVER THAN
DID THEIR PLATFORM OF 1892,
they will be just as good Demo-
Gratis the morning after the convention
as they now are, and will be just as
earnest in their labors to convince the
people that theirs is the only accepted
faith.
There is no getting away from that,
crawl and crawfish, deny and denounce
as the Tribune may; it is tethered to
that statement, and there it must stand
as at a snubbing post.
Where does the short memory come
in? Who is the neat, or clumsy, or
monumental falsifier?" The public
knows that it is our contemporary.

A POLITICAL OCTOPUS.

One morning the Tribune gives one
excuse for crawling back into the
goldbug party, and next morning it
gives another.
Its constitutional hatred of Utah
Democrats, dating, by its own admis-
sions, back to 1884, seems to be the
chief.
a desire to stand in with the admin
istration party is a secondary consid-
Grafton, and there are Others
The last excuse, given yesterday
morning, is probably as good as any it
has. 1t takes up the question of en-
ploying a stenographer or clerk in some
county office, and because a particular
one was not retained to please the
Tribune, it calls again upon Republic
ans to follow it back into the goldbug
party.
Does the Tribune consider itself en-
titled to name the postmaster of Salt
Lake City, the registrar of the land
office, the district attorney. the munich
pal appointees of Mayor Clark, the
United States senator, and the stem
ographers in the county offices. too?
If it would confine it's demands to
some one party it wouldn't look so bad.
but to undertake to run the goldbug
patronage of the state, the non-parti-
san patronage of the city. the silver
Republican nominations and the Demo-
cratic patronage of the county, all at
the same time, is big undertaking.
If the Tribune had ability in proper
ton to its nerve, there would be little

Buck Kilgore,s Capture.

This melodramatic anecdote about the
late Judge and Congressman Buck Kill

While serving in the army he was or

suing his search in the country, suffering
from WEAKNESS and hunger-especially
hunger.
About dusk he stopped at house by the
wayside, in time to see a woman re
moving from the fire nicely, broiled
chicken. The smell of the food Joined
forces with his hunger and drew from his
pocket a Mexican dollar with which he
was loath to part. 1t looked as If he
would not have to- part with it now, for
the woman refused to sell the fowl, de-
claring it to be for a sick friend.
I'll jump you for it, though" she said.
What DO you mean by that?" asked
the officer
Il mean that we will see who can jump

ter fate than to be put in false light
by the Tribune. 1t says:
She had been employed through sue
cessive administrations, and knew the
duties Of her responsible position bet
ter than all the new officers combined
did. They could not dismiss her; even
they had not quite the gall to do that,
but they were not discouraged. So soon
as they thought they were capable of
doing her work they reduced the sal
airy TO a point which they knew would
compel her resignation. and their work
of gratitude was complete. They would
not even give the place of stenographer
and typewriter to a competent young
lady if she belonged to a Republican
family.
AS matter of fact Miss Sprague re-
manned in the clerks office just ONE
DAY after the present officials were in
stalled. All salaries were reduced and
she would not remain for the SIS per
month offered her. Mr.. Dunbar Of
fered her an additional IS out of his
own pocket, but she was obdurate. She
would not and did not remain even the
customary period, or for any period
longer than "a hours, to aid her sue
cessor in the details of work with which
her long experience ought to have made
her familiar.
And now for the Tribune to put her
in such an embarrassing position of
being even indirectly responsible for its
assertions is neither honest nor chiv-
alrous.
The Tribune must not take refuge be-
hind the skirts of a good woman in or
der to fire its paper wads of prevarica-
ton at personal and political enemies.
Its conduct is dastardly.
And we desire to call our contempo-
rary's attention to the fact that The
Herald, Immediately after the election,
urged that silver Republicans who had
aided the Democrats should be given
proper recognition. And this was done.

Colonel Henry Inman and William F.

announced by the Macmillan company.
Like the 'Old Santa Fe Trail" Colonel
Inman's book is a complete arsenal Of

gira will probably be considered of
much interest, and not only has Col
onel Cody collaborated with Colonel In
man throughout the book, but he has
written some photographed chap
tiers which throw much light on his
own interesting character. The book
should prove of interest to the people
of Utah, and doubtless will. The Salt

between the Oregon and Santa Fe.
