Mr.. PRATTs NOMINATION RE
JECTED.

1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Pratt's or
gan viii now admit that he cannot be
confirmed as chief of police. The ac-
ton Of the city council last night
clearly indicates that his confirmation
is impossible. The nomination of Mr.
Pratt having been referred back to the
mayor for reconsideration, Mayor Clark
should carefully consider the matter,
and if he is not satisfied regarding pub
lie sentiment in relation to this partic-
ular appointment, he can do a little
Investigating on his own account. and
if he can find anything like a general
desire on the part of the people that
Mr.. Pratt shall be made chief of police.
then he should insist upon the appoint
ment; otherwise he should withdraw it
and send in the name of some other
competent man for the place.
The Herald has had no desire to pur-
sue Mr.. Pratt. or subject him to the
humiliation Of defeat, on the contrary.
The Herald would have preferred that
Mr.. Pratt should have recognized the
fact that the people generally do not
desire him for chief of police, and have
retired gracefully while there was yet
time
It is limited that Mr. Pratt intends to
try and assume the office of chief of
police on the theory that he holds over
under the law. That would be very
unwise thing for him to attempt, and
his friends can do him no better service
or in very truth be friends to him in
need, than to persuade him that there
is time to quit, and in his case that
time is right now. Even should it be
possible to so construe the law as to
permit such a conclusion to be drawn, it
would not be wise for Mr.. Pratt to take
advantage of it.
The city council, after very careful
has decided to send Mr..
Pratt's nams back to Mayor Clark in |
the most respectful manner, and that /
action is in accord with the wish of a
great majority of the people of Salt
Lake City.

CHANDLER FOR TIE TELLER
RESOLUTION.


Tomorrow the senate votes on the
Teller resolution; that it will be adopt
ed by the senate there is little doubt
The really interesting part will be the
division oe the vpte. The Democrats
and the Silver Republicans and the
Pcpulists will vote for it, while the Re
publicans generally viii vote against it;
it is not impossible that there may be
some breaks in the Republican ranks.
There will certainly be one, if a Wash
ington dispatch to the Pittsburg Post
is to be relied upon. This dispatch says
that Senator Chandler will vote for the
resolution. and that the announcement
of this fact has caused CONSERVATION
among the gold standard Republicans.
It is said that the New England Repub-
licans are in disnay at this fresh evil
denee of the New Hampshire senator
to hold the party to the bimetallic
plank OF the ST. Louis platform. But
dismayed as they are at this, they
are still more alarmed at his assertion
that there has been a great change in
New England sentiment on the silver
question, and that the great majority
of the people of that section are OPP
posed to the single gold standard. and
that of the two majority of the voters
of New England would prefer the free
coinage of silver at 1G to l. The sena-
tor is convinced that the sentiment of
his own state is back of him in this
matter and that it Will support him in
the stand he will take on the Teller
resolution. He defines his position in
these terms:
There is a proposition pending among |
Republican senators TO agree upon a
declaration of financial principles upon |
which we can all stand I hold that we, |
as party men. are bound to stand by /
the st. Louis platform, which favors an |
honorable effort to obtain international /
The party organization |
adopted that line CT policy at its last |
national convention, and no man or set |
Of men has the right to overthrow that
policy, except in convention assembled.
Republican senators are voting to fix
he single gold standard policy upon the
government, by opposing the consider
alton of the pending resolution reported
from the finance committee. 1t is evil
dent that we cannot secure any radical
change in existing financial laws, but
We can stand squarely and honestly by
he St. Louis platform, and take every
occasion to declare our party loyalty
o the world.
If Senator Chandler does vote for the
resolution, it certainly will cause
in the Republican single
gold standard camp. And yet the gold
men continue to say that the silver
,ause is dead.

Evidently woman suffrage is not very
popular with some of New York's lead
ing ladies. for they have sent the fol-
lowing petition to the e-'slature. and if
has been presented:
ITO the Assembly of the State of New
York:
The undersigned, constituting the
executive committee of the New York
State association opposed to the extern
sion of the suffrage TO women. do here
by petition your honorable body not
to adopt any resolution having for its
object the amendment of the constitu-
ton so as to extend the suffrage to
women.
we are convinced that the adoption
of such an amendment would necessar-
lily lead to serious complications in both
the political and social conditions of
the state, and that such complications
would be harmful to the state in every
way
I'VE strenuously oppose any such
radical change in governmental meth
DDS, and ask that you will heed our pc
tition and refuse to give your approval
to any resolution such as we have here
in referred to-"

The Louisville Courier-JournaI COM
ments on Chairman Walkers currency
plan in this manner:
Secretary Gage admits that he is puz-
zled as to what Chairman Walker, of
the banking and currency committee,
means in his bill for currency reform.
The same difficulty has occurred TO
every ore else who has undertaken to
follow the devious windings of the
chairman's logic in his written and
spoken utterances on the currency
question. Anybody knows what Gage
or Carlisle or Laughlin or Edward At
kinson means when he reads or hears
ore Of these gentlemen. The Massa-
chusetts congressman manages to be-
cloud the simplest proposition with his
Iecondite discussions. He cannot touch
upon the gold reserve without Juggling
in so many references to dis
count, to discount in the east
and west, TO compound discount.

REGISTER M'GREW'S CASE.

A great many protests against the
confirmation of Mr.. McGrew as regis
ter of the land office have been for
warded to the president.
AS far as we are aware, the objection
to Mr. McGrew is political and not per-
sonal This objection is that he was
appointed from Arizona. Moreover,
Mr.. McGrew, before his appointment
as register of the land office, had been
an applicant for the governorship Of
Arizona Standing on the St Louis
platform, he must have considered
himself a resident of Arizona, for that
platform laid it down as one of the
principles of the Republican party that
'All the federal officers appointed for
the territories should be selected from
bona fide residents thereof. and the
right of self-government should be ac-
corded as far as practicable"
The people of Utah ask the Repub-
lican administration to stand by that
declaration in making federal appoint
ments for the state of Utah When
Utah was a territory the people ex-
pected (and were never disappointed in
their expectation non-residents to be
to fill federal offices, but now
that Utah has become a state they ex-
pect, and have a right to, that federal
offices will be filled by bona fide resi-
dents
Senator Cannon says, as shown in
special in The Herald of
Yesterday. that he win oppose Mr.. Nc
Crews confirmation, because he be-
ieves he ought to stand by the declara-
ion of his application for governor of
which fixes his residence in
hat territory. and not in Utah. Senator
3awlins says that he will leave the
natter in Senator Cannon's hands. but
hat he will approve his course when
he case is reported to the senate. This
as it should be. The people of the
tate irrespective of party, will APP
rove of the senator's course.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make a
Test of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of An Indi-
annapolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame, and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
ach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated. with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and
appetite, with accumulation of gas,
sour risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
promT $ me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave temper
airy relief until the affects of the medi-
cine wore off. l attributed this to my
sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but / am
glad TO state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for have
gained in flesh, sleep better and am
better in every way. The above is
written, not for nOtOriety, but is based
on actual fact.
