NO PARTY POLITICS WANTED.

The dispatches indicate that the
revenue bill which is to be presented to
the house today has been framed by the
Republican members of the ways and
means committee and that the Demo-
cratic members have not been con-
suited as to any Of its provisions. This
is wrong and i'll advised. This is not
a time when party politics should be
Introduced into congress, especially
when measures looking to the national
welfare are to be considered and
passed upon. In the war with Spain
President Mckinley is not acting as a
Republican or Democrat or a Populist
and congress and the people are not
supporting him as such; he is acting as
the president of the United States, and
congress and the people as American
citizens are supporting him. Today
when the president sends in a message
recommending that a formal declara-
ton of war be made, it is more than
probable that the resolution declaring
it will be passed unanimously and
without debate. That would be right
and proper. and will meet with the ap-
proval of the people. And that is the
way every war measure should go
through; but they will not go through
that way ic any attempt is made to
make them party measures and TO de-
rive party advantage from them. Moth
ing could be more out of place at this
time than to Introduce party politics
into measures that are necessary for
the successful conduct of the war, and
those who would do it are actuated by
base and unworthy motives; they
neither deserve the respect nor con-
fidence of the people. Party differences
can wait until the war is over. for they.
like the poor, are always with US.
At this time the duty of the whole
people is to stand shoulder to shoulder
and to back up the president that the
war may be brought to a successful
and speedy a close as possible. He
who sows discord among the people at
this time aids our country's enemy.
Let none such be trusted.

oLNEY AS SHERMAN'S SUCCESS.
SOR.

The Boston Post suggests that the
president appoint ex-Secretary Olney
secretary of state. 1t says the state
department is without a head. which
is a patent fact, and it declares that
Assistant Secretary Day is not large
enough for the place.
Prom the start" says the Post
''the Mckinley administration has been
Handicapped by the lack of a CONNIE
tent head of the state department If
there were nothing but routine work
to attend to-the appointment of cen
suls and the writing of responses RI
letters of courtesy-we might get alone
comfortably in this way. Bur in =
crisis of international relations with
questions Of the greatest delicacv and
perhaps Of vital consequence pressing
upon the government, a strong. eHper-
fenced man is needed--a statesman
Such man is Richard Olney of Massa-
chusetts. Can the president rise super-

country in this emergency? Alr. OInev

among the nations would be strength
ened and the people of the United
States would rest confident that no
mistakes would be made. The admin
istration appeals to Democrats as
well as to Republicans for support in
this national crisis. To solidify this
support, nothing could be more effec-
tive than the appointment of Richard
Olney to be secretary of state. General
Fitzhugh Lee has justified the action
of the president in retaining him, a
Democrat, as representative of the
United States in Cuba. Why not try
another Democrat in the place where
strong qualities are sorely needed to-
day?"
The suggestion is complimentary to
Mr. Olney, but it is absolutely imprac-
ticable. 1t is true that Secretary Sher-
man is nothing more than a figurehead
in the state department, but Judge
Day has proven very good substitute,
better than anybody thought he would
make. But this isn't the question. There
never was coalition ministry or cab
met that was a success, and however
able and brilliant Mr.. Olney may be,
the very fact that he is not of the same
political faith as the president and
members of his cabinet would so i'm
pair his usefulness that all his good
qualities would be lost sight of. He
would be far more likely to be an ele-
ment of discord than strength to the
cabinet. There is not the remotest
probability that the position of secre-
tary of state will be offered to Mr..
Olney, and the probability that he
would accept it if offered is quite as
remote also. OF one thing there is no
question: the state department needs
a head. and the wisest in the land at
this time.

LIVES ON NOTHING A YEAR.
Col. Ochiltree's Peculiar Characters
tics Enable Him to Sip Sweets.

Philadelphia Times: Colonel Thomas
p. Ochiltree is at last on the high road
to recovery. This will doubtless be
gratifying news to the friends of the
colonel, which class, by the way, con-
stituteS about everybody who has ever
known this original and unique Texan.
One of the colonel's friends once de-
scrlbed him as the red-headed apostle
of how to live on nothing a year.
Whether this characterization was just
or not. the fact remains that few men
have ever enjoyed more of the good
things of this world than the colonel
has, and, apparently, they come to him
without effort on his part. He is a
lawyer by profession, but, as the boy
said of his fathers religion, he has
never practiced it much When he
! first entered the profession he did so
as the junior partner of his father,
Thomas Ochiltree, in Galveston. The
old man, upon taking his son into the
business hung out their single with
the legend, Thomas Ochiltree & Son, y
| inscribed thereon, and then went away
to attend court, leaving the Junior in
charge. When he returned his amaze
ment was great to find the modest
single removed and in its place sign
reaching clear across the sidewalk and
inscribed thereon in letters a foot high.
Thomas p. Ochiltree & Father" That
was characteristic of the man. He was
not a student of books, but, perhaps.
few people have ever lived who knew
human nature better than the colonel,
and that, together with his fine humor,
originality and native kindness, made
him a Republican congressman from a
Democratic district and the welcome
guest Of the royalty of Europe. Ut
terly lacking in a fixity of purpose, ap-
parently without ambition, and living
today by the fun that the morrow holds
forth, this jolly raconteur has passed
through life. at least thus far, slipping
the sweets denied TO common mortals
after the most strenuous exertions for
a taste of them. Yet it were impOssi-
bic to envy this minion of fortune, if
you know him, for somehow or other
this very personality impresses you
with the idea that he is of all men the
one fittest to have that crown of many
good things, which an apparently ca
PRECIOUS fate sometimes presses upon d
brow never bent to receive them.

THE UTAH CONTINGENT.

Under the call for 125,000 volunteers
Utahs contingent will be 425. A special
to The Herald from Washington says
the probabilities are that the troops
wanted from Utah, Idaho and Nevada
will be cavalry. Cavalry from these
states would be of very superior quail
ity, for the people OF them are all
horsemen, and feel quite as much at
home in the saddle as in rocking
chair; and to feel at home in the sad
die is one of the first requisites of a
good cavalryman.
1t is pretty safe to say that the Utah
contingent will consist of cavalry or
artillery, and we are inclined to think
it will be the latter, for the reason that
Utah has two batteries of the most
improved artillery, less than a dozen of
the states having such guns. If a
couple of batteries were sent from the
state they would maintain their iden-
tity and all through the war would be
known as the Utah batteries. If the
Utah contingent goes as cavalry or
infantry it will be merged with the
troops from some other state or states
and the Utah boys, who are ambitious
to distinguish themselves and make
Utah famous, would have no state iden-
tity; they would be lost in the crowd;
would become John Does and Richard
Roes.
The exigencies of the case must con-
troll, and whatever troops the govern
ment may want from Utah Will be
cheerfully furnished. but if the Utah
troops coTld maintain their identity in
the war it would be a source of pride
to the people of the state.

According to the correspondent of the
London Times, the public debt of Cuba
up to the end of 1897 amounted to $522,-

Cuban bonds of $780, $171, 71O, 900; custom
penses of the war; S14S 300, coo; notes of
the Spanish bank issued without specie

$14,0O0,0O0; arrears of pay to the army,
navy and civilian service, 100000, 600;
other outstanding debts, SIS, 600, 600 The
present total of S522, OOO, O0O is to be con-
trasted with the debt Of $40, 0OO, 900 in

Mr.. A. c. Thomas of Marysville,

covery than has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years he suffered untold
agony from consumption, accompanied

Consumption, Coughs and Colds. He
declares that gold is of little value in
comparison with this marvellous cure;

DANGER AWHEEL.

No matter how stout a mans courage
may be,
There are times when he's certain to
quail.
Though the blazing of battle he calmly
may see,
In peace all his frmness may fail.
Though bullets which sought in his being
to lodge.
Serenely he often defisd.
He'll tremble and pant as he struggles to
dodge,
The girl who is learning to ride.
A marksman afarswill perchance miss his
aim a.
When dynamite deadly is fired.
For cen mathematical skill cannot claim
To guarantee all that's desired.
But when her front wheel seems to waver
bit
And she thinks that it's time to collide,
You know you're a targec that's bound to
be hit
BY the girl who is learning to ride.

Was: Wei, good by
And would you have me 60" he cried

She gave the kiss he craved, and then,
Alas he didn't go.

But oh,

That isn't so.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Bingham Bulletin: Let us hope the

report favora bly, on the resolution to raise
funds for war expenses by levying an in

them. Let the rich foot the war bills.
They will scale the bonds.
