THE ONE WHO WON'T BE THERE

don't think I'll go in TO town to see the
boys come back:
My bein there would do no good in all
that jam and pack;
There1l be enough to welcome them-to
cheer them when they come
A-marchin' brayely to the time that's
beat upon the drum
They'll never miss me in the crOwd-nOt
one of EN- VIII care
If. when the cheers are ringin' loud, I'm
not among them there.
1 went to see them march away-I hol-
Tered with the rest,
And didn't they look fine that day,
a-marchin' four abreast.
With my boy James up near the front,
as handsome as could be.
And wavin' back a fond farewell to
mother and to mel
l vow my old knees trembled so, when
they had all got by,
had to jist sit down upon the curb
stone there and cry.
And now they're coming home agent The
Was Sch as shows we still have men
when mems works to be done!
There wasn't one of 'em that hinched;
each feller stood the test
Wherever they were sent they sailed
right in and done their best,
They. didn't go away to play-they
knowed what was in store
But there's grave somewhere, today,
down on the Cuban shore,
guess that I'll not go to town to see the
boys come in:
1 don't jist feel like mixin' up in all that
crush and DIM
There'll be enough to welcome them-to

Chief Pratt is trying to make himself
an issue in this campaign. He goes out
of his way to viIify candidate on the
Democratic ticket. Chief Pratt tried
to exert an influence in the county con-
vention to have it work out his per-
sonaI spite. 1t refused, and the furi-
Gus chief who ought to have official
business to look after, rushed to the
ever hungry columns of a-morning con-
temporary with his load of bile. If
Chief Pratt insists upon becoming an
issue in this campaign, the legislative
ticket would increase its majority by
declaring an intention to make law
so plain that even our supreme court
Will understand that he must be ousted.

THREATENED COMPLICATIONS.

The world has. reached a point where
war is destined to become more dread
ed and more unpopular. Moral en-
lightenment has had something to do
with bringing this about, perhaps. but
the perfection of the instruments of
war, and the awful possibilities of
destructive inventions, have had as
much to do with it as anything else.
While the war with Spain was de-
cidedly a one=sided affair, the effective
work done by our navy and guns was
an indication of what might happen in
conflict between two first-class pow
ers. ~
But the world suspects the motives
of any one who proposes universal
peace, or makes any sort of suggestion
looking to that end. Smiles went round
the circle when the car mentioned the
matter a little while ago. Winks were
exchanged and the powers went on
improving their defenses. increasing
their navies, and perfecting their
armies. Uncle Sam even, peaceful,
benevolent, unwarlike as he is, never
looked uD from his work in the navy
yard.
Later on there may be some regrets
that SO little attention was paid to the
car in this particular. A general
peace would be preferable to a general
war. And no man knows what the
future will bring forth with threaten
ing conditions in Turkey and clash
Imminent in Africa
JeaIousies, alliances, trades, and ma
tional irritability might turn
conflict between two first-class Euro
pean countries into an almost universal
war. Threats, such as were made in
the Turko-Grecian war, and limited at
in the war with Spain. would not be
tolerated in every instance. And
abuses, like those in Armenia and
Siberia, cannot last long in an age
like this, especially since the United
States have set the pace.
A general war between civilized
powers. with Anglo-Saxons on one
side and continental Europe on the
other would involve at the start about
AGO 600. 900 people on the side of the.
former and about 800. 100000 onsthe. side
of the latter. The wealth is about the

THOMAS M. COOLEY.

Judge Thomas NJ Cooley died at his
residence at Ann Arbor. Mich. yester-
day. His death had been expected for
several weeks.
He was an eminent jurist, a constitu-
tional lawyer, a famous author of legal
works. an acknowledged authority on
whatever he handled. He made the
Michigan reports a standard for the
courts of other states. His energy was
unconquerable, but he had no ambition
outside of his profession, no desire to
invade other fields.
Monuments may be erected to per-
petuate his name. for in the region of
the great lakes he was beloved; but
none will be more enduring than the
books in almost every law Office in the
land bearing his name as an author or
commentator.
It is the lawyers monument, and will
remain while records last and
precedents are observed; it will
stand when monuments of brass
or stone have fallen; it will endure
when they have crumbled and mingled
with the dust.
AS a jurist he viii always hold front
rank. AS writer on questions of law
he occupies a place all his own. He
was a clean man, honest and fair. His
convictions were strong and his mo-
tives pure. In public and in private
life he exemplified the highest type of
manhood.
The bar is richer for his having lived,
the world is better, and his home state
higher held But for two or three years
the light of his reason has been burn
ing low, turned down by the palsied
hand of age. His career of usefulness
was ended some time before his death;
but it was such an active life while it
was at work that no one grudged him
the right to live after his work was
over

ocrats "a piece of its mind" and. by

was a gathering of hoodlums and
toughs." or that it was conducted like
one, which amounts to the same thing
Now the News. like Arthur Pratt, feels
so dodgastedly sore on that non-par-
tfsan spot that whenever one touches
it, howl goes up. In the Democratic
convention there were former non-par-
tisans, and they had right there. The
door OF Democracy is always open. Re
publicans are welcome, but not Repub-
lican schemes TO hurt the party. Nom
partisans are welcome. 1t is the po-
itical home of many. They are received
without Gliding. But no plans to pun
ish men who remained in the party
when efforts to disrupt it were made,
can be tolerated. And the effort to
inject them into the county convention
the other day was by men who are in
nowise interested in the welfare of the
party, Chief Pratt, whose suspicious
activity injured the cause he espoused,
is not a friend of Democracy. He is
not even silver man, having been a
candidate for 4 place under the Nc
Kinley administration. If he could
have had his own way in the making of
a Democratic ticket, he would work
against its election. Such a man has
a colossal nerve to interfere in Demo-
cratic affairs, anyhow. And the News
is all out of breath trying to keep pace
with him.

same on each side. But the continental
powers would have 100000 of SOL
diers ready TO call. while Great Britain
and the United States would have an
insignificant number in comparison In
the naval strength, however, and upon
the sea the great wars, if they come to
pass, win be fought, the Anglo
Saxons, as theX are called, would be
superior. The number of vessels would
not be as great as those of the CONT
nent but the fighting strength would
be greater.
An alliance between Great Britain
and Germany, which is now being
seriously considered in connection with
affairs in Asia and Africa, would
equalize the forces more. 1t would
place in conjunction the best army and
the strongest navy in the world. Ger
many's war strength of 4746,972 and
Great Britain's force of 570,634 would
make a combination hard to beat. even
by the II, 900, 900 assembled by the other
fighting powers.
The British navy with 300 warships
and $50 torpedo boats, 6,426 guns afioat
and $4,000 men and officers TO man
them. in connection with Germany's
1O1 warships, 1S5 torpedo boats, 1922
guns and 1900 men and officers, would
be more than match for all the other
European navies put together.
But such a fight would fill the world
with tears and groans. 1t would
probably extend to distant colonies.
The minor powers would find it diff
cult to keep out. The Japanese and
Chinese would eventually become in
volved. Instructions would spring up
in all dependencies, anxious to take
advantage of an opportunity. Three
fourths of the inhabitants of the world
would be drawn into the vortex in
time and three-quarters of the sur
face of the planet would reecfit TO
other worlds the red light of war.
1t might last for years for there
would be no one to stop it; no one
through whom TO sue for peace. Utter
exhaustion or9complete humiliation of
one side or the other would be the only
solution. 1t would make savages of
the victors and leave the vanquished
as Bismarck wanted to leave France,
''bied white, like veal"
But such war is too horrible to
contemplate. 1t means too much to
be begun. And yet there may be some
regret before this century is ended
that more respectful consideration was
not given the peace proposal of the
car. Whether he was sincere in it
at his word and make a general con-
tract which could only be broken with
dishonor.

THE LESSON OF THE SUMMER

Future chroniclerS Will undoubtedly
refer to the past summer as one of the
hottest and dryest in Utah history.
Not only were the roads full of dust.
and the fields covered with drouth-
cracks. but the sky for days and weeks
looked parched and burnt.
It was a trial 10 farmers and fruit
raisers, many of whom suffered injuries
almost irreparabIe. The orchard leaves
curled I'D like blistered tongues on a
desert. and their rustic lost its rhythm
and became harsh and painful, like
the cry of the lost. The dropping grain
shed no tears when the reapers came,
for the moisture was gone. although it
had held out until the crop was fairly
good: but dissolution was welcomed in
the grain fields as seldom before

Our morning contemporary, which
sits in the Republican tent and sings
of a silver past. wants to know if any
of the Democratic candidates Cor coun-
ty offices ever talked for silver, or
wrote for silver. By this it means to
call attention to the fact that it has
done both. Probably no political ora
tcrs or economic authors were chosen
for county positions. 1t is not neces-
sary to discuss this matter with the
Tribune. But we venture to say that
they never stumped the state of Ne
vada against the silver party in the
interest of a goldbug candidate for the
presidency. We undertake to say, fur
Their, that none of them has ever sup
ported a goldbug for any position since
free coinage became an issue between
the parties. And we take pleasure in
calling attention to the fact that they
are still in the national organization
which stands for bimetallism, while the
organ which questions them is doing so
from a Republican platform. BY the
way. will the Tribune answer this:
