CONDITION OF TIE TREASURY.

The appropriation of $50,OO00OO ma
tional defense was patriotic meas
ure, Democrats, Republicans. Silver Re
publicans and Populists voting for it.
But some administration papers are in
cIined to make a little capital out of it,
saying that the treasury under the adj
ministration is full, While under Mr.
Cleveland it was empty. The money
that is in the treasury today is prac-
tically the money that was there when
Major Mckinley was inaugurated. The
Dingley law has not produced a sur
plus, save for the month of February.
when it was about 81, 100000. The deficit
under the law up to the present is sub
stantially s52OOO,OOO.
If trouble with Spain should come q
natural consequence would be to di
minish imports, and necessarily the
revenue from imports. Resort would
have to be had to internal taxes to
raise revenue. Nothing could be more
idle than to talk about the splendid
condition of the treasury, and how
there would be no need to worry on
that score ia the event of war. The
revenue raised by the Dingley law is
totally inadequate to meet the govern
ments ordinary expenditures in times
of peace; revenues raised under it
would be infinitely more inadequate in
times of war One of the needs of the
country at this very time is wise reve-
nue. legislation.

A CARLYLE STORY.

In one Of the Lives of the Poets. >
johnson says: Pointed axioms and
| acute replies float continually about
the world and are applied successfully
to those whom it may be the fashion to
celebrate" The observation is a true
one, and it easily applies to more than
aXioms and replies; it is applicable to
good stories. There is such good story
in the Atlantic Monthly for February
1t is about Carlyle, and runs as fol-
lows:
An American pilgrim, on his way to
Craigenputtock. overlook country
man, of whom he Inquired about the
Carlyles. oh, ay, I ken the Carlyles.
Tam is a writer Of books, but we do
not think much of him in these parts.
Jeems is the best of the family; he
sends the latest pigs to Dumfries
market"
It is a good story, and is being given
wide circulation, but it is so very much
like that old story about the tourist
who went to New Hampshire to visit
the birth place of Daniel Webster, and
asked a farmer if he ever knew Web
ster, and he replied that he did when
he was boy, and he was a very likely
boy, but he went off to Boston and
became a lawyer, and he never heard
anything more of him, that this Car
lyle story seems to be more of an adap-
ton of it than an actual occurrence.
But speaking of good stories about
great men, we once heard Professor
Moses Cort Tyler, of Cornell, tell one
about searching for the house in Jeyvin
street in which Milton lived. He had
no difficulty in finding the street, and
he knew he was near the house made
famous by Milton. but he could not
identify it. He made inquiries of the
first person he met who CHANGED to be
a woman. Can you tell me, my good
woman, which is the house in which
Milton lived?' he asked. Il done think
there is any one by that name lives in
the neighborhood; at least, I never
heard OF such person, and I have
lived in the street above ten years"

wHITNEY's HISTORY OF UTAH.

The third volume of Whitney's His
tory Of Utah" has just appeared. It
covers the period from 1877 to 1890. and
il covers il very fully. In this period
occurred some of the most exciting in
cidents in Utah's history. 1t was with
in the period covered by this volume
that We're enacted the anti-polygamy
laws that were finally enforced; the
history OF those laws and the pro-
ceeedings had in pursuance of them is
related with much detail. 1t is not very
long since the stirring events here re-
lated transpiTed, but when one thinks
of the great changes that have taken
place since the period to which the
present volume comes down. those
times really seem like ancient history.
The volume is gotten up in the same
Sumptuous style as its predecessors.
1t is fully illustrated with the portraits
of leading citizens of the state, while
there are some Illustrations of different
scenes in the state. There is to be an
other volume not strictly historical, but
rather biographical 1t is the authors
hope that this volume VIII be ready
for delivery in the not distant future.
This volume will be presented to all
subscribers to the History, whose sub
scriptions are paid up If the volumes
were divided they would be much ham
der for reading and for reference.

DEMOCRATS ALWAYS FOR SILL
YER.

The Tribune says that The Herald
seems to overlook the fact that except
for the revolt of Messrs. Teller. Can
non, Mantle, Dubois and other Repub-
licans, Grover Cleveland, w. c. Whit
ney, Mr. Carlisle. Mr.. Bayard and 9TH
ers in fun sympathy with them on all
questions, would have controlled the
! Chicago convention. 1t is not a fact
! thai the gentlemen named and those
! in sympathy with them would have con-
! trolled the Chicago convention had it
not been for the action of Mr.. Teller
and the other gentlemen who bolted the
st. Louis convention. Months before
either convention met it was known
that the Democrats would declare for
free silver in their national convention;
a declaration in favor of free silver
was the issue in the Democratic party
ali the time. In almost all the states
delegates to Chicago had been chosen
before the St Louis convention met,
and the overwhelming majority of
them were pledged to free silver. The
action of the Chicago convention would
have been precisely the same as it was
had Messrs. Teller, Cannon, Dubois,
Mantle, Pettigrew and others remained
in the st. Louis convention The Re-
publican convention met on June IS,
ana the Democratic on July 9. The
action of less than score of delegates
in a Republican convention was scarce
~ SO momentous as to cause a great
political party to adopt an entirely new
and unheard of policy; the time inter
vening between the two conventions
was wholly insufficient TO have in
fluenced Democratic opinion in the
least. The action of the boilers had its
great effect in the Republican party.
not in the Democratic The influence
of Democratic sentiment on the silver
question on the boiling Republicans
was infinitely greater than was the in
fluence of the sentiment of the boiling
Republicans on the Democratic party.
The Tribune has much to say about
The Herald as a. silver paper, and that
if its party were to change its attitude
on the silver question The Herald
would do the same. The Herald has
always been silver paper and it finds
itself in full accord with its party on
the subject. When the Democratic
party declares against the free and in
dependent coinage of silver, as the Re-
publican party has done, it will be time
enough for the Tribune to conjecture
what The Herald's course on the silver
question will be. The Herald is under
no necessity to explain and apologize
for its party's silver record.

THE STREETS.

1.-THE streets are in worse condition
than they ever We're under any ad-
I ADMINISTRATION. All over them are scat
tered big cobble stones. and when a
buggy wheel strikes one of them, it al
most wrenches the wheel off"
The gentleman who made this remark
was prominent in the non-partisan
movement, one of the few who named
Mr.. Clark for mayor. His remark was
true, and the streets are in a most dis
graceful condition SO far as big rocks
being scattered over them is concerned.
This is one of the benefits to be de-
rived from the great business admin
istration'' promised by the non-partis-
ans, for they said if their mayoralty
candidate was not thoroughly a bust
ness man he was nothing
The gentleman who spoke Of the
streets and their bad condition should
not complain about their condition. Did
he expect that under a non-partisan
administration they would be paved
with gold and made to run with milk
and honey. Does he think the mayor
has any time to notice the condition OF
the streets and direct the superinten-
dent of them to place and keep them
in repair? His honor is attending to
matters of far more Importance, in his
opinion. than the streets. He is en-
gagged in paying his political debts, and
this on strictly business principles. AS
a business man he must feel that no
business administration can be made
a success so long as political debts
hang over it. In that very patriotic

FUSION IN COLORADO.

The prospects for fusion in Colorado
in several counties are very much set
against it, and it does not appear to
enjoy much favor with other parties
The Denver Republican says that the
appeals Of the national leaders for
union of the three parties, whose
greatest cardinal principle is free sill
yer, were unquestionably intended to
apply to those sections of the country
in which there was and is and viii con-
tinue to be danger of the success of
goldites through lack of harmony of
the silver advocates. 1t says that
where there is not and never will be
the slightest possibility of a partisan
of eastern or European monometallism
slipping, by such lack of harmony. into
which may elect United States sena-
tor, the appeals could not and should
not be made applicable; and that those
who seek to so construe the addresses
pervert their meaning and intent
The Republican declares that in
Colorado, as in several other western
states, it does not matter in the least
to the cause of free silver whether
Silver Republicans, Democrats or Pop
ulists be in control; that they are all
pledged to that principle. and that
geld Republican could not possibly get
even the smallest state office, except
by entire Misrepresentation of and pre-
varication as to his views to the voters
of the state. The Republican closes
its article with these words:
The sole and only purpose of the
frantic efforts toward fusion now being
made in certain quarters in this state
is to build up, not the cause of free
slver-it is in not the slightest con-
ceivable degree of danger-but the
cause of a personal party, on the fran
chises of which private ambition seeks
to ride into the highest places in the
state. This new party which il is the
real aim TO establish should be named.
not the Silver party, but the Patter-
sonlan. It's one main plank is Just
what its proposed name would indi-
cate, and to that plank free silver
and everything else would be complete
~ subservient, if not entirely ignored
AS to what the aim of the fusionists
in Colorado is. we do not pretend to
know; they may or may not be as in
timated by the Republican; but what
is said about fusion in Colorado is
equally applicable. generally, to fusion
in Utah. Fusion really seems to have
struck pretty hard year in the west.

Suicide Said to Be Epidem1c.

DR.. La Rue, the famous French au-
tEOrfty OF abnormal phenomena, has,
after exhaustive comparison Of facts in
Ftance, Belgium. England and the
United States. come TO the conclusion
that the inclination to suicide is a
mania, and is epidemic. No learned
authority has as yet discovered with
exoctitude whether malaria is epidemic
OF endemic, but it has been a matter of
rctoriety for nearly half a century that

address issued by the non-partisans
September %, 1887, the promise to re
duce Indebtedness was made; and his
honor is now carrying out that pledge.
Can any non-partisan point out any
pledge made by the committee of con-
troll in relation to streets? We do not
recall any. If it were near election
time how soon the rocks would be
taken out of the streets; but it is a
year and a half to election time.
The streets can take care Of them
selves; the mayor is taking care of his
friends.

The protest Of the Federation of
Labor against collections in the schools
IS both proper and timely. Most OBJ
jects for which collections are made are
worthy, and the arguments used to JUS
tify the taking up of one collection in
the schools can be applied with equal
force 10 all the others. Children are
sent to school to learn, and not to be
utilized for collection purposes. The
protest Of the Federation Of Labor
should be needed by the school board.
