DAwsoN's ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Dawson City has a lamp thrower who
is entitled to a belt of some sort. She
has broken the record, the lamp and,
incidentally, a number of business men
Of the great polar camp. AS wielder
or artificial daylight she beats me-
teoric shower all hollow, in the con-
sternation which attends and the havoc
wrought In this. her speciality, she
stands alone. People have learned bet
ter than to remain in her vicinity
a year ago Belle Mitchell threw a
lighted lamp at a gentleman from
Skagway with whom she had a heated
argument. The lamp struck him full
and fair and exploded with a flash. This
made him hot. 1t was enough to make
anybody hot. It made the whole town
hot Next morning it was mass of
smoking ruins.
But the people of Dawson are ener-
getie and resourceful, so the city was
rebuilt. A month ago Belle threw an
other lamp. It went clear through one
long street and took every building
with it And now the word comes that
she has just knocked a 100000 hole in
the municipality in the same way.
Unless the patient people who survive
can induce Belle to remove, they would
better move the city. They cannot ex-
pect to have the champion light weight
lamp-thrower of the world and a city
too. One or the other must so.

WALL STREET is HAPPY.

Henry Clews, the Wall street banker,
has issued one of his periodical circu-
lars since the election. Wall street re-
joices over Republican success as only
Wall street can. Mr.. Clews says:
'The result OF the elections has
brought veritable boom into Wall
street. The significance of the sound
money outlook in the next congress was
promptly recognized; and on Thursday,
when the position was better under
stood, a most pronounced change for
the better took place"
He calls attention to the various
trusts and corporations that We're bene-
flied by the result, and refers to stocks
which Ieaoed upward as the returns
were announced. There is no instance
of increased wages among factory
hands or farm hands Nothing
is said of the miner and his
earnings. or his gain. No thought is be-
slowed upon the farmer and the price
OF his produce.
Only the fnanciers and those who
were fearful OF foreclosure suits in case
the dnanclerS were o!SStfcsifu- see
more clearly from a business stand
point. Therefore, the Wall street
banker writes, as TO the world he sends
the greetings of his class: Merchants
and financiers seem already to breathe
a ereer air
The people. the masses. are a sec
ondary consideration with Mr. Clews,
if they are even that. They are useful
only at election time, and useful then
because they hear men like Henry
Clews talk of prosperity and believe it
is general; they see the bankers prosper
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-17


and are told that the country is pros
Dering; they total the wealth of Wall
street, and say: How rich this nation
isl"
Mr.. Clews knows that the people are
deceived, yet he discusses them as if
they We're convinced. He depends on
the ability of his class to fool them
while he pirates about the people com
ing round to the side of honor" He
says:
Wall street has made no mistake in
its estimate of the outcome of the con-
gressional elections. 1t is result
hopeful beyond all expectations. The
silver issue is laid in it's grave, and Mr.
Bryan with it."
And he lays the flattering JUNCTION to
his soul that the people have been com
pletely won over to the financial views
of the Wall street bankers, no matter
what demagogic appeals to sham pa
triotism or stress placed upon other
issues to secure the election of McKin-
leyites to congress; for he says again:
1.-THE frmness with which the gold
oasis is a1llrmed exceeds the most san
guine expectations of its friends, and
confounds its enemies. The movement
favoring a reconstruction and exDan-
sion of our bank note system is put on
the basis of an early probability, and
there is no installing the public will
that the notes shall be redeemable in
gold coin. Taken as whole, the cleo
ton shows a remarkable change in
public sentiment from the vagaries that
have been deeply unsettling confidence
to q conservative and assuring atti-
tude''
Mr.. Clews is mistaken. The people
are not convinced. They are misled. The
brokers can fool them part of the time,
but il IS not likely that they will Cool
them all the time.

SILVER AND DEMOCRACY.

in 1896 the Baltimore Sun and other
goldbug organs called upon the Demo-
cratic party to turn away from silver
But the party was not swayed by the
call. Then the Sun deserted the Demo-
cratic organization and worked for the
success of the Republican ticket as did
scores of former Democratic organs.
But the party went on without them.
The Republican ticket, with their aid
and following, with the assistance and
support Of Cleveland, Carlisle and all
the deserters of Democracy, only re-
ceived a majority of 2S4,771. out of A.
O73, 285 votes cast in 1896.
The Baltimore Sun was not looked
upon as a Democratic authority in that
year nor has it been so regarded since,
except by those who want company in
their own opposition to the cause of
bimetallism,, or seek comfort in the con-
duct of other traitors to principle.
In 1896 16 Democratic state conven-
lions were against the free and indie
pendent coinage of silver. This year
there was not one of all the "A which
declared against it, although four at
tempted to dodge the question in order
to olacate those who, it now trans
pires, have gone to the party of gold
to stay.
In two years the opposition to silver
in the Democratic party has dwindled
from &c states to four. and not one of
these four exceptions expressed hostil-
ity to the principle. It is a wonderful
record of progress; one in which the
honest friends of silver must take pride,
just as they are bound to deplore the
decline Of silver sentiment in the Re-
publican party.
Two years ago there were silver Re
publicans enough to cause consterna-
ton among the goldbug rulers of the
party. Today they are treated by the
national organization with contempt,
and received back into it only when
they abase themselves by endorsing
and applauding McKinley's policies.
Two years ago there was a state or
ganization in Utah of men who advo-
Gated the free and independent coinage
while claiming still to be Republicans.
Today the only state organization of
Republicans in Utah has renewed its
fealty to the national Republican
partV

THEY ARE NOT POLICEMEN.

Just why there should be any con
troversy over the size of the police
force is not exactly plain. The court
holds that the eight policemen removed
last May We're not legally removed. 1t
follows then that those who were APP
pointed to fill alleged vacancies were
Illegally appointed and therefore have
no right to remain on the force.
Since there We're no vacancies no enc
could fill a vacancy. To insist upon
the recognition Of the eight new men
whose names were sent in by the
mayor in May savors strongly of con-
tempt of court
As the eight extra men were Illegally
appointed on the force they had no
right to receive pay from the city.
Having received pay the city, in
justice, is entitled to recover it from
them or from those who were respon-
sible for putting them in a position to
receive it. They are not members of
the force at all. They have no right to
wear the uniform of policemen.
The ruling of the court should not
be disregarded.

He Poked His Nose In
Qondon Tid-Bits1

DR.. Won Stephan, the German post
master general. recently took a train
from Konigsberg to enjoy a few days
deer stalking. Arrived at Dirschau, a
town near his destination, he stepped
into the station telegraph Office to send
news of his safety to his wife in Ber-
lin The official recognized his chief at
once and with all obsequiousness began
to write down his message. Suddenly
the Morse instrument, used for service
kilograms only, began to work, and
very shortly his excellency pricked up
his ears, for he distinguished the par
ticular clicks that represent his own
name. A glance at the clerks face,
now deathly pale, induced him to in
quire further into the purpOrt of this
state telegram, and when the clicking
had ceased ne took up the paper rib
bon and read as follows:
Look out for squalls. Stephan is
somewhere on the line. He will be
pol1ing his nose everywhere"
The postmaster general smiled sar-
donically and then went to the trans
mitter and flashed back this reply:
TOO late! He has already poked his
nose in here. Stephan"

THE THREATS OF SPAIN.

Spain is making threats again. With
the exception of a few mutinous regi-
ments on the mainland, Camara' s
phantom feet is about the only rem
nant of the Spanish military system
now extant. The soldiers who have not
deserted by this time are awfully tired,
and it would take more inducements
than Spain has left to get them to put
up a good fight for her.
It's all bluff. 1t is the raging of i'm
potent despair; the fury of a criminal
limping with decrepitude while retri-
button overtal1es her.
Spain has passed the fighting point in
her bloody and treacherous career
There is nothing in this talk of renew
ing the war to heed. It was to be ex-
pected The dying candle always fares
Let it sDlutter. When it goes out the
light OF the world will continue just as
bright In this age of progress, educa-

bears it.

| glasses. He shakes your hand with the
! effusion Of a class leader and takes
you to the Dervishes' church-where 10
cents admission fee is taken, by the
! way.
| There a row of Dervishes are lined
up and down two sides of a Iow-celled
room. Frankish visitors sit in little
alcove at one side, and Turkish women
/ peep from a latticed gallery above.
The DerviSheS are dressed in all man.
ner of ways, some even in European
clothes. few are boys learning the
trade. Before the Mecca niche in the
east squats the sheik, an intellectual
faced man, with grave demeanor and
] fine, serious eyes.
The line of men begin to pant, to
howl to sway back and forth in unison,
to chant their strange litany. What
they are saying is LA Allah, il Allah
There is no god but Godr' But they
| aSpirate the is somewhat as do the
French. 1t sounds like:
All YAH ah-yee-yah-yah
All yah! h-yee-yah-yahI
over and over again. The emphasis
upon the YAH, is startling. 1t is like
the barking of rabid dogs.
They work themselves into frenzy.
Flecks of. foam fly from their lips.
Their breath comes in gasps.
frOHl time TO time the leader SHIFTS
the key two notes lower or higher At
ter 90 minutes, that seem like hours, he
begins barking the single word HUI"
meaning he, Allah. This cultural sound
is the Turkish shout when the sultan
is seen descending the palace hill to
his mosque. 1t is at once a cheer and
a prayer.
AS the bowling goes on the men be-
come exhausted; their eyes start from
their heads, they bang their heads
against the posts that support the roof.
Only the smallest boy, little fellow of
6, in a brown European coat and a red
fez, continues to grin. 1t is simply fun
to him.
Finally the men retire, painting,
gaspng. reeking with sweat. From no
where a group of children dash upon
the floor. They lie flat in a row from
the Mecca niche, side by side like sar-
dimes in a box. The sheik walks over
them, out and back, stepping carefully
on each little body in turn. 1t does not
hurt. He is not a heavy man, and is
careful where he steps.
There was a time when the sheil1
rode over his line of believers on horse
back, when the howlers thrust weapons
into their flesh, when they swallowed
powdered glass and died in bravely-
borne agony. But, as previously re-
marked, nothing is so good now. Even
! the Dervish, with the walking arsenal
of arms, propping his chin, is rarely
seen.
