A GoLDBUG BIGoT.

| The New York Times may be a great
newspaper. but that does not hinder
it's editor from being, in some respects,
a great ass. In order to hear him
| bray one has only to mention the
name of Bryan; and whenever it
thinks of the free coinage of silver the
Times just lays back it's long ears and
kicks all the good air away from its
immediate vicinity.
To say that the Times hates Bryan
like the devil hates holy water is to
put it mild and draw a very happy
comparison. 1t would doubtless join
its New York contemporaries, the Com
mercial Advertiser and Mail and Ex-
press, in offering a purse to the Span
lard who will take them Bryan's head
on a pike, and a gold medal for ev-
cry friend of silver killed in this war.
The Times is opposed to the policy
of territorial expansion, but how it
abuses Bryan for holding the same
opinion. A rule of the Times has been:
Damn Bryan whatever he may say
or do And right well has it hewed
to the line.
Had the Nebraska colonel favored
the scheme of colonial acquisition it
would have been less awkward for the
Times 1t is always easier to find
fault with man for opposing than for
favoring you. But the Times didn't
seem to care. 1t was enough to know
that Mr.. Bryan was still alive. The
Times was ready and willing and
anxious to do the rest.
In two columns of abuse it allowed
this admission to creep in:
When he stood up in his uniform in
the Nebraska building at the Omaha
exposition and talked against the re-
tention of the Philippines Colonel
Bryan expressed views that, we think,
are held by a majority of the Ameri-
can people.
But it was Bryan, and the Times.
blind bigot at the shrine of the golden
calf could not be fair or decent. 1t
called the colonel every vile name in
its vocabulary of vituperation, i'm
pugned his motives, sneered at his
uniform, and showed a disposition to
revile the flag which waved above the
gallant leader OF six and a half mil
lions of American voters, as he spoke.
The Times makes no effort to con-
ceal its religious belief that no friend
of the double monetary standard has
any right whatever to live.

DESPERATION OF THE SABBATH.

President Joseph F. Smith is waging
a vigorous war in the pulpit at Salt
Lake against the pernicious practice OF
the Sabbath day being devoted to go
ing to the resorts. The churches are
nearly deserted. while the resorts are
the scenes of busy amusements- Nor
is that all, for at such places too often
congregate persons who lead the young
people to their ruination. Most fond
parents will stand by President Smith
in his we'll deserved criticism of the
patronage bestowed on the Sunday re-
sorts. Such patronage does not at all
comport with the pretensions of the
people of Utah for reverence of the
Sabbath day.
So says the Provo Enquirer. Mr..
Smith did denounce the practice of
spending Sunday at the various resorts,
as he had a perfect right to do, just
as the people who go to them have
right to- AS, in this country, all men
have a right to worship God according
to the dictates of their own con-
science, so they have a right to spend
Sunday according TO the dictates of
their own conscience. The very re-
Iigious person thinks that the Sabbath
of God in a house of worship. If he is
truly logical he thinks that the wor-
ship should be according to his beliefs
and in the house where he worships.
Remember the Sabbath day and keep
it holy" But who shall say how it
shall be remembered and what consti-
tutes keeping it holy? Each religious
denomination will prescribe its own
rules. The common standard of pro-
priety that exists everywhere through
out the country forbids that there shall
be any Dissertation of the Sabbath; a
decent regard for the opinions and feel
ings of people demands this. But to
spend the Sabbath at some pleasant
resort is not a dissertation of it. SO far
as we have observed, those who go to
the resorts on Sunday, go for quiet
and rest, to be away from the attrac-
tons and diversions that are going on
on week days. If a resort degenerates
into a social pest it should be t!otted
out; but it will be more of a pest on
week days than on the Sabbath, as a
rule.
We are of those who believe that
the Sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the Sabbath. 1t is day
Of rest for the tired and weary, day
of cessation from labor; and the rest
will be different for different occupa-
lions. The rest that the day laborer
is of a different kind from
that which the man of sedentary habits
needs; there must be rest for the mind
as well as rest for the body, and in
this matter of Sabbath day rest it is
truer than in almost anything else
that what is bane for one is antidote
for another. And he who, on Sab
bath, sits on the sands of the lake
shore, gazing on the grand panorama
of mountains, sky and lake, does not

will be made from the cannon's mouth,
and eventually it will be needed.
Were General Bianco to give any ex-
PLANTATION OF his notice, as he almost
certainly will to his government, which
in turn viii publish it, he would prob
ably claim that the Americans have
used, or endeavored to use, the flag OF
truce for the purpose of spying. Were
such the case, his order would be fully
justified. But if any such claim is
made it will simply be falsehood,
without anything to found it upon. 1t
is likely that the order has been given
for the purpose of creating prejudice
IN Europe against the United States
ana TO arouse sympathy for Spain. Be
that as 1t may, the order is barhar-
Gus thing, in keeping with other Span
ISM methods. Should the Spanish at
any time send a flag of truce to- the
American fleet or army, the bearers
of 1t will be accorded the treatment
that civilized nations accord a flag of
truce. There will be no firing upon it.
Such a proceeding is beneath American
Dignity

The New York Times hates Mr.
Bryan far more than the policy of ex-
pansion. Commenting on his speech at
Omaha, it says: Nevertheless, Colonel
Bryan fell far short of his opportunity
and of the requirements of his posi-
ton. He merely repeated the ideas of
others. The arguments he employed
are trite with hard usage. They are in
the mouth of every opponent of the
policy of national expansion. He said
nothing new or original, which is al
ways terrible mistake for a party
leader and a presidential candidate"
Had Mr.. Bryan said, addressing
Sunday school, God is love- the
Times and the Bryan haters would
have said THE expression is trite
with hard usage"

TALES OF THE DAY.
Origin of ..Hobson'g Choice.


Now that Lieutenant Hobson has proved
himself such a hero. the phrase Hob
sons choice is heard on every side, and

know its origin, says d New York Times
correspondent.
During Shakespeare's and Millions time
it was the custom for gentlemen to ride
home from the theatre on horseback,
hiring the horse, as We do cab. at a
stand. Naturally each one wished to have
the best horse. and much confusion en-
sued, while some poor animals were never
taken. A university carrier and the first
keeper OF a hackney stable at Cam
bridge, England, named Thomas Cor To-
bias HObSon 1544-163). conceived the plan
of placing his horses in line and forcing
his customers to take the one nearest the
door of the theatre. 1t then became no
longer a matter of personal selection, but
none"
Milton wrote two poems dedicated to
Hobson, one of which 1 append:

Captain General Blanco has notified
the American blockading fleet that
hereafter he will recognize no flag of
truce, adding that every vessel within
six miles range will be fired upon,

the American navy or army is going to
send any flag of truce offering terms
of surrender. As he has given this
notice, demand upon him to surrender
