WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS FOR
SILVER.

A Milwaukee dispatch to a Chicago
paper says there is no longer any ques-
ton that in the coming campaigns in
Wisconsin the Democratic party will
cling to the free silver issue 1t is also
said that in the municipal campaign in
Milwaukee the Chicago platform will
be reaffirmed
That is as it should be. Democrats
everywhere should cling to the free
issue before the people today, and will
continue to be, in all probability, until
and during the campaign of 1900. The
Democratic party is the champion of the
silver cause, and it is proper that every
Democratic convention-city, county,
state-should make a reaffirmation of
the Chicago platform, and so show the
people that the party is as much for
silver in 1898 as it was in 1896 1t is the
only proper thing to do, and if the sill
yer question has no business in a mu-
nicipal platform put forth by a Demo-
cratic convention, it has no business
anywhere. Fundamental Democratic
principles are ever in place in Demo-
cratic platforms.
The Wisconsin Democrats have made
a right and polite decision in this
matter, and the line of action they have
determined upon in this matter is one
that should be adopted by the Demo-
cratic party everywhere throughout the
country.

SUPREME COURT CANDIDATES.

The Manti Messenger is a good Re-
publican paper; but its last issue shows
that it is something more. a humorist,
though unconscious of the fact. Its
humor crops out where one would least
expect to find it, in speaking Of a
candidate for the supreme bench. 1t
says:
The fact that chief justice of the
supreme court is to be elected this
fail lends dignity and Importance of the
coming campaign. Already speculation
is rife as to the probability of Judge
Zane not succeeding himself. Some i'm
portance is attached to the fact that
there is no Mormon on the supreme
bench. and that it is but fair that
Morrnonism have representative
there. We are in hearty accord with
that sentiment. MormOns should no
longer allow the minority to walk off
with the lions portion of Utah's best
offices Just for the alleged purpose of
demonstrating Mormon sincerity. But
withal. if a Mormon is to have the
place Just for the sake of representing
his creed let us have one of the straight
variety, otherwise Judge Zane is good
enough for us.
A chief justice is not to be elected:
that is PROVIDED lOI ny SeCelOh VI
article s of the state constitution, and
in consequence Judge Bartch will be
the next chief justice Of the state. no
matter who may be Chief Justice
Zane's successor, himself or someone
else.
Our Manti contemporary says that
some Importance is attached TO the
fact that there is no Mormon on the
supreme bench, land that it is but
fair that Mormonism have a represen-
tative there" Our contemporary can
hardly mean that Mormonism should
have a representative on the supreme
bench; what it probably means is that
there should be a Mormon on the
supreme bench.
There can be no objection to that
provided said Mormon is the best
equipped man for the place. Given an
honest, upright, moral man the test
of his fitness for a place on the supreme
bench is his legal equipment; the ques-
ton of his religious profession has
nothing to do with his fitness for the
supreme bench. Let the best man for
the place be chosen whether he be
Mormon or Methodist, Catholic or
Calvinist.

WILL THERE BE INTERVENTION
IN CUBA?

Cuban autonomy has proved fail
ure, fate that all who are at all ia
miliar with conditions in Cuba pre-
dicted for it. And now Consul General
Lee declares officially. in a commune
cation to the state department, that au-
tonomy is a failure. Is there any like
hhood that, as the result of General
Lees declaration, there will be inter-
vention by this government? 1t is i'm
possible to say a rather significant
remark was made yesterday by Sem
ator Foraker, OF Ohio, who is a member
of the senate committee on foreign re-
lations. THE whole chapter said he,
'as it is now being written on the is
land of Cuba, is enc of horror, shock
ing to civilization, and of such ma
ture that Intervention should be resort
ed to if necessary, to put an end to it. :"
But this is hardly so important as the
presentation of petition to the presi-
dent the other day by a committee of
New York business men, and very nu-
merously signed by business men.
The petition first recited that many
of the signers had joined in sending a
memorial to the secretary of state last
May reciting the great and increasing
loss and pecuniary damages to which
they, as importers, exporters, bankers,
manufacturers, steamship ard vessel
owners. were subjected by the long con-
tinuance of a ruinous armed conflict in
Cuba. Attention is then called to the
20 +Iaf
years. with an actual average loss of
import and export trade between Cuba
and this country, of $1OO,00O,OOO per
year. The petition continues:
'If peace be not established before
May or June of this year, then it is
certain that the 1889 sugar crop and
all the business depending upon it will
be lost, since the planters, plantations,
factories, railways and business houses
in the different sugar districts of the
island, will require all the rainy sea-
son of summer and fall to prepare for
next winters crop by repairing dam
aged fields, machinery, lines of railway,
etc.
Trusting firmly in your watchful
care over the interests of all American
citizens, your subscribers unite in pray
ing for your aid, and for this govern
ment's aid, in bringing about actual
peace, and with it restoring to US
mast valuable commercial field"
If the business interests of the coun-
try demand that the administration in
tervene in Cuba, it will not be long
before there will be Intervention. The
presidents very conservative course in
the Cuban matter has been largely die
tated by solicitude for the business and
commercial interests of the country;
and now if they deem intervention de-
sirable it is almost sure to come.
It becomes more and more evident
each day that even the conservative
portion of the people is wearying of the
Cuban struggle and of its bad effect on
our commerce, and would gladly see it
ended. The struggle is a great strain on
ali the people and it becomes greater
each day, for each day there is less
and less prospect of Spain re-establish-
ing her authority over the island.
Things seem to be tending to crisis
in the Cuban matter. far more so than
at any other time.
