BEDTIME AT THE ZOO.
Mamma Elephants Queer Way Of
Putting Her Bouncing Baby
to Sleep.

1t was sunset time in summer, and the
gentle animals of the zoo in one of the
great cities of the world were in yards
and folds outside the building. When
1 reached the Enclosure belonging to
Der Of men, women and children stand
ing along the fence. They were very
quiet, as if they were afraid of disturb
ing some one. AS I stopped by the
fence and looked in the yard, a small
girl touched my skirt, pursed up her
mouth, and, giving me solemn look of
warning, pointed to the elephants.
Mamma elephant had her trunk
around her baby's neck, and seemed to
be whispering and encouraging him,
as he rubbed his head against her knee.
He stood a moment, then raised his head,
tapped his big little ears, gave firt of
his little cord of a tail, and trotted off
by his mothers side to the center Of
the yard; there she left him, and went
to a pile of hay that stood in corner;
this she took up, bunch by bunch, with
her trunk, so nicely that she did not
drop a wisp of it, and spread it around
her child, who had not stirred from the
spot where she left him.
| Wien the hay had been all spread
around the baby, the mother stepped
into the center, and began to tread it
down with her feet, the little one fol-
lowing her motions exactly, ill per-
fe city even space had been trodden
down; then mamma elephant stepped
out again, went to the further end of
! the yard and frlmbled about the ground
with her trunk. AS she came back her
baby hourished his small trunk and
| tapped his ears, making at the same
time soft gruDting sound, as if he
knew what was coming, and liked it.
! This time mamma stood outside the
baby's bed, and, beginning with the
back of his ears, blew small cloud of
fine dust into the folds of skin behind
them: then into those around his legs,
and under him, till he was thoroughly
powdered for the night. This done, she
again put her trunk about his body,
the little fellow dropped to his knees
on his carefully trodden bed, and, after
a few soft pats and few soft grunts
from his mother, h e lay as well-trained
child of the elephant family should.
The mothers work, however, was not
yet done; she took up delicately the
hay from the edge of the bed, and began
tossing it lightly along his sides and
up toward his back, till its ridges no
longer showed. a....s ....
When all was done, the small girl who
had warned me not to disturb the pro-
ceedings heaved a great sigh, and, turn
ing to me, said: II would just like to
know what they do it for!'' So I told
her, explaining the habit wild animals
have of treading their beds, to make
sure there are no Snakes in the grass;
the necessity of dust-powdering the
young, whose skin is tender in the folds,
and who are troubled by insects; the
piling up of the dry grass arc ind them,
to conceal them from the possible hunt

ties, and for Spain renewal of hos
tilities would be stark madness. If
Spain wants to indulge in a little bonn
bast and sulkiness, the American gov
eminent will probably make no SER
ious objection, for it knows that Spain
will finally came around.
If our enemy, with whom we now
hold a truce, thinks the time for evac-
uating Cuba was extended because
there had been any change of plan re-
garding that island. or if she con-
strued it as a sign of weakness, she
was never more mistaken, much mis-
taken, as she has been. She must not
take leniency and unusual considera-
ton for weakness. The administra-
tons error in extending the time for
evacuating Cuba was in making the
extension. The Spaniards should have
been marched out of the island with
out any delays. They have no appre-
citation of the motives which prompted
the president in his course in this mat
ter They may rest assured that there
will be no more extensions of time.
Spain may as well understand at
first as at last that the United States
will not recede from their position al
ready taken.

WHAT THE ELECTION MEANS.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
strong Republican paper and shrewd
observer of politics, says that if the
Democrats win this year, it is certain
the silver issue will be up again in
1900
That is all true. If the Democrats
win this year, silver will certainly be
the issue two years hence, and with
very good chance to win two years
hence.
If the Republicans win this year,
silver will still be the issue in 1900, for
the Democrats propose to make it an
issue every congressional and presiden-
tiaI election until the cause of silver
shall triumph.
While this will be so, still if the Re-
publicans should win this year, silver
would receive a backset that would
make the chance for it to triumph in
1900 less than it would be if the Demo-
Gratis win this year. Not only this, but
in the interim the Republicans would
bend all their efforts to procure the
enactment Of legislation that would
strengthen the existing gold standard,
and, of course, injure the silver cause
and it's prospects to that extent.
If the Democrats win this year, it
means a great step forward for the
silver cause. If the Republicans win,
it means a tremendous stride back
wards for the silver cause
Can the people of Utah afford to take
any chances, so far as in their power
lies, that this tremendous step back
wards shall be taken?

. a DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.


Elsewhere in this issue will be found
copies of an appeal to the voters of
Salt Lake City, formulated and sent
out by permission of the board of edu-
cation. Directions are given to have
each pupil take one of these circulars
home. The matter bears legend con-
veying the impression that this work
is being done by order of the board,
though the official records are silent
on the subject.
Do the members of the board realize
the significance of their action? Do
they mean to establish such pre-
cedent as would certainly result? Can
they for moment ignore the fact that
campaign literature no matter whether
it is partisan or not, has no business
in the pupils hands under such cir
cumstances?
The Herald expects to see the school
amendment defeated, with all the
other proposed changes in the consti-
tuition; it has no objection to the de-
feat OF this particular amendment 1t
does object, however, and most siren
uously, to the distribution of advice to
voters, through the teachers and pu-
pills of the public schools, "by order
of the board" or by the order of any
body else.

WORDS AND DEEDS.

Alma Rldredge may talk silver till
that oil train passes; he may repeat,
parrot like, all that he has been coached
to say in silver localities; but these
facts remain:
Mr.. Eldredge is a Mckinley man; he
endorses and applauds McKinley's poll
cies; he this year lewed his fealty
to the national Republican party and
its principles; and he read and ap-
proved the st. Louis platform.
Now this simply means that Alma
Eldredge is a goldbug, pledged to gold
bug policies, loyal to goldbug organi-
zation, and agreeable to a goldbug
platform.
He may say for the purpose of win
ming votes that he wouldn't be bound
by party caucus. But the record
shows that Alma Eldredge was bound
by small percentage of his party
because it was with Mckinley in 1896;
and that he voted for gold when so
per cent of his neighbors voted for
silver.
What could be expected of such an
alleged representative of the people
away off in Washington surrounded by
big-bugs and goldbugs, no matter what
so per cent of his constituents might
request?

REAFFIRMED THE PLATFORM.

The st. Louis convention declared for
the gold standard. Every Intelligent
man knows this. Every honest man
will acknowledge it. True, it threw
out little of the thinnest kind of sop
to silver men, but it didn't fool them
They knew that international bimetal-
lism was an "iridescent Dream and
the failure of the Wolcott commission
demonstrated it.
The st. Louis platform, by which the
Republican state organization, as part
of the national organization, is bound,
is the official declaration of the party
on the financial question.
If that platform needs an interpre-
tation, more authentic than that of the
chairman of the national Republican
committee, the national league of Re
publican clubs held in July of this year
at Omaha, certainly supplied it.
In the resolutions adopted by that
representative Republican body, is the
following clear and concise explanation
of the national platform:
1--WE are unqualifiedly opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and we reaffirm the st. Louis platform
on this subject

A BLESSED PRIVILEGE.

What thrill of pride and pleasure
must have passed through Editor c. C.
Goodwin as he sat beneath McKinley's
picture on the stage at the Republican
meeting Friday night
What blessed privilege he must
have thought it to be allowed to adj
dress q political gathering cheek by
jowl with Arthur Brown!
1t was a living picture of the lion
and the lamb" and while it was easy
enough to distinguish the lamb, it was
confusing that both insisted on being
the lion.
When the editor-judge called Arthur
a goldbug in 1896 he little thought of
what the future had in store for him.
When he predicted that the Repub-
lican party would disintegrate in two
years from the date of it's last national
convention, he could not have counted
upon his present strenuous efforts to
prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy.
When he wrote in mournful cadence
that never again would he support such
party organization, it was not then
that he decided to turn his solemn
promise into a joke.
But the party of Brown and Hanna
would not recede from its gold position,
so there was only one thing left for
those with whom prejudice outweighs
principle.
The hill would not come to Mahomet;
so Mahomet went to the hill.

SAUERKRAUT AS AN ISSUE.

With shocking disregard of the
amenities, I. N, Fisher, who wishes to
be county auditor, and Arthur Graham,
would-be clerk, continue to ignore The
Herald's offer. Invited to send in
their affidavits denying all connection
with the so-called A. P. A, they have
caused such affidavits to be printed in
another paper. Although the originals
of those documents have not come to
this office, The Herald is willing to
concede their authenticity because it
does not care whether they are true
or not
There are some other mysteries
however, that should be cleared up.
Were L. N. Fisher and Arthur Graham
ever members Of a dyead-inspiring
combination known as the Amorines;
and could not any Amorine, so-called,
truthfully swear that he had never
been connected with the A. P. A?
While the affidavit mill is working,
will the grist also include averments
on this vastly important subject?
And as the general matter of secret
societies is under consideration, it
would be of some interest to know
whether Fisher and Graham have ever
followed Josh Davis through the weird
mysteries of the Blue Church? Have
they, oh! have they, attempted to fol-
low those rites through the last fatal
degree Of lobster la Newburg, with
sauerkraut and ice cream on the side?
We pause for reply.

SECRETARY HAMMoND's PLANT

The burden of Secretary of State
Hammond's speech at the theatre Fri
day night was the awful crime the
Democratic legislature had committed
when it amended the laws of 1896 re-
lating to fees to be paid into the sec
retary's office. He attempted to make
it appear that great iniquity had
been committed when the sum to be
collected on each one thousand dollars
of capital stock of any company or
corporation was reduced to twenty-five
cents and the maximum amount to be
charged and collected from any cor
poration should not exceed twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The secretary then went on to show
how, through the enactment of this
amendment, the state had lost $4,000
on the incorporation of the Oregon
Short Line railroad and the incorpora-
ton of the Union Pacific railroad.
Truly it was terrible arraignment,
but it was entirely without sting. That
amendment to the law Of 1896, which
Secretary Hammond branded as in
iquitous legislation, received the ap-
prevail of the Republican governor,
Heber NJ. Wells. Why didn't Secretary
Hammond use his influence with Gov
ernor Wells (Which is said to be very
great to veto this amendment? If the
Democratic legislature sinned in pass
ing this amendment did not the Re
publican governor sin in approving it?
In his TRADE against the Democratic
,,.-+x, n II +g,a+ Cao-atarxy Hammond does
at most is TO show his dislike for all
things Democratic.
When he got to his figures he seemed
to think that he was driving nails into
a Democratic coffin. Never was man
more mistaken. Evidently Secretary
Hammond never heard of the story of
THE Goose that Lays the Golden Egg, .
and how the fool owner of the goose
killed it to get at the eggs. If he had,
he would scarcely have talked so much
about the amount the state lost
through Democratic legislation. If he
does not know, every one else who in
terested himself in the question of
changing the law in regard to incor-
poration fees knows, that the Oregon
Short Line and Union Pacific railroads
would not have been incorporated in
Utah, but would have gone to another
state for that purpose. SO that instead
Of the state losing $4,000 through Dem
ocratic legislation, as alleged by Sec
rotary Hammond, it gained $4,000.
Secretary Hammond is not a success
as a manipulation of figures. He should
try again.

THE MARIA TERESA.

When Lieutenant Hobson succeeded
in raising the Spanish cruiser Maria
Teresa, the whole country rejoiced that
the vessel was to be added to the
American navy. There was double
triumph in her case. First, she was
beaten and sunk through American
prowess and then she was raised and
started on her way to the United States
through American science and skill.
Now all the science and the skill and
the time and energy and money ex-
pended have gone for naught While
being towed she foundered off San SAL
vador, Bahamas, Thursday. She was
overtaken by furious storm, and was
rot able to weather it. The captain and
crew aboard her were all taken off, and
no lives were lost.
Her loss will be regretted, but it
could not be avoided. Her rescue was a
triumph for Lieutenant Hobson. Now
she lies at the bottom of the sea, there
to rot and become complete wreck.
Such is fate.

that the war being practically over,
they should be permitted to come home.
There is little doubt but that the reg
ular army will very soon be largely
increased, and when this is done regu-
lars win be sent to Manila, and the
volunteers there released and allowed
to come home. They will scarcely be
compelled to serve out the time for
which they enlisted. for, with an in
crease in the regular army there will be
no necessity for keeping the volunteers
at Manila.
The Utah volunteers are ss ready as
ever they were to fight the battles of
their country, but they do not want to
be immured in a garrison. And who can
blame them for this? We are all hop
ing that the gallant battery boys will
be home at no distant day. And with
an increase in the regular army such
is the prospect
