ALMA's STRONG VOICE.

Ever since Alma Eldredge's nomina-
ton by the Republican state conven-
ton people have wondered what quail
hcation he possesses for congressional
work.
Those who have attended his meet
ings and have heard him talk are more
puzzled over the matter than any one
else.
If he is an orator he carefully con-
ceals the fact. AS a statesman he is
travelling incOgnito. His ability to
cope with representatives of other
states has never yet been demon
strated.
To be sure, Mr. Eldredge has a
strong voice, but it reminds one of a
story told Of Lincoln
When he was a young lawyer prac-
ticing in the courts of Illinois. he was
pitted once against a lawyer who had
splendid lungs but an utter contempt
for facts. Lincoln began his reply TO
the loud lawyer by saying:
My friend who has just spoken to
you would be all right if it We're not
for one thing, and I don't know that
he can't help it. What 1 refer to is
his reckless statements without any
ground of truth. You have seen in
stances of this in his speech to you.
Now, the reason of this lies in the con-
stitution Of his mind. The moment he
begins to talk, all his mental opera
tons cease, and he is not responsible.
He is, in fact, much like little steam
boat that 1 saw on the Sangamon
river, when 1 was engaged in boating
there. This little steamer had a five
foot boiler and a seven-foot whistle
and every time it whistled the engine
stopped"
Mr.. Eldredge has the seven-foot
whistle; but where is the boiler?

BRANCH NORMAL SCHOOL.

There are enrolled at the branch nor
nal school, Cedar City, 81 pupils.
The branch normal school is destined
to become a great force in the south
ern part Of the state, and it viii give
an imoetus to educational matters
there that nothing else would have
done. Ii affords 10 the young men and
Ewornen Of the southern part of the state
who are ambitious to engage in the
profession of teaching. an opportunity
to fit themselves for it that they would
not otherwise have. They can attend
the branch normal school at a very
much less expense than they could
come to this city or go to the Agricul-
tural college.
The people of Iron county have shown
a public spirit in erecting the build
irgs for the school that cannot be too
highly commended. They have taken
a pride in their school. and that it shall
be properly housed, which is guaran-
tee that the school viii be a great sue
cess.
And when the legislature meets this
winter if any relief can be afforded the
people of Iron county who have done
so much for the school, it should be.
and doubtless will be. The branch nor
mai school having been established, it
should receive the same fostering care
and attention that the other educa-
tional institutions of the state do.

MAKING 1T WORSE.

There are some things that cannot
be explained away. Our neighbor's
"Asiatic" comparison is one of them
There are some explanations that
make matters worse. Its Interpretation
of that "Asiatic" reference is an exam
pie.
When it complained that the majority
of the delegates to the Democratic con-
vention We're members of the dominant
church. it said:
1T was Asia and not the United
States that was running that conven-
tion.''
When it gave its chief reason for OPP
posing Mr.. Roberts in this campaign,
it said: From childhood he has been
trained to Asiatic methods" And it
added that ''he would be more at home
in a Spanish cortes than in the congress
of the United States"
Yesterday it attempted to explain its
meaning and made the matter worse.
1t made a comparison between the Mo-
hammedan creed and the Mormon
church, likening the sultan of Turkey
to the president of the Mormon church.
The Republican organ fails to COM
prehend. The point is this: No matter
what the dominant church in Utah re-
sembles in the eyes of our contem-
porary, the criticism that applies to
one man brought up in it applies with
equal force to another.
The intolerance which rejects Roberts
on account of his training from child
hood cannot consistently support

hope, if not expectation, that the
United States could be induced to as
sumo sovereignty over the island and in
turn be induced to guarantee the Gu
ban debt. The Spanish commissioners
now understand that this will not be
done This being so. Spain should be
made to hurry up her departure from
Cuba.

derstand that there has been enough
parleying and that now there must be
action. Her procrastinating methods
should cease

ELDREDGE'S DECEPTION.

| From stenographic reports of his
Eldredge is going about telling the
people of Utah that the Democrats of
New York, New Jersey and COnnecti-
cut, in their state conventions. de
clared positively and emphatically in
the year 1898 against silver
Mr.. Eldredge is telling a deliberate
and willful falsehood when he makes
that assertion.
The Republican candidate for con-
gress has all he can attend to in trying
to deceive Utah voters on the position
of his own party in relation to silver.
He will overwork his prevaricator if he
is not careful.
Mr.. Eldredge knows, if he knows
what he is talking about, that in all
these United States not one Demo-
cratic state convention has declared
against silver or in favor of a single
gold standard.
In Pennsylvania and New York the
state platforms are restricted to local
issues for the purpose of breaking the
machinery of Quay and Platt. But the
nominees of those conventions were
Bryan supporters in 1885, and are still
loyal to the national Democratic plat
form.
In New Jersey an effort was made to
please all factions, just as the Repub-
lican platform of Utah attempts it.
There is this difference, however: The
Republicans of Utah endorse all of Nc
Kinley's policies. The Democrats of
New Jersey do not endorse he policies
of any goldbug.
In Connecticut the financial plank is
as follows:
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Connecticut is now, as it ever has been,
in favor of bimetallism as enunciated
by Jefferson, affording, as it does. the
most stable standard of value, and we
declare ourselves unalterably opposed
to recommendation of any kind"
So it will be seen that Mr. Eldredge
is either wofully ignorant of matters
about which he pretends to enlighten
the people of Utah. or else he is DELHI
erately prevaricating.
Mr.. Eldredge knows, or ought to
know, two things in relation to the
attitude of both parties this year.
First, that every Republican state
convention held has endorsed and ap-
plauded' the financial policy of this
goldbug administration; and Utah is
no exception to the rule.
Second, that not one Democratic
state convention held in 1898 has de-
clared for the gold standard, although
three of them, for local reasons, were
confined to state issues alone.
But the people of this state are more
particularly interested in the national
and Utah platforms of both parties
The national Republican platform
was conceded to be a gold platform two
years ago, and it hasn't been changed.
The national Democratic platform
stands for free silver coinage today. as
it did then
The Republican state platform tries
to straddle the issue while really en-
dorsing all of McKinley's policies. The
Democratic state platform is square for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
without endorsing or aDDlauding the
policies of any goldbug.
Mr.. Eidredge certainly underesti-
mates the intelligence of his hearers
when he undertakes to deceive them on
matters so generally understood.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-25
SILVER IN THE NEXT CONGRESS

The local Republican organ asks:
What vantage for silver will be the
election of any candidate on any
ticket in Utah this year? What is the
congressman elected in Utah, this year,
to do for silver?"
The answer comes from every gold
bug organ in the east. They want as
many Mckinley men in the next con-
gress as possible. The final blow to
silver is to be struck McKinley's
favorite policy, currency REFORM is
to be considered.
The more Republicans we have in
the next congress the feebler will be
the silver talk shouts one admin
istration editor.
Every congressional district is now
a field of battle and no effort must be
spared to secure the election of men
who endorse McKinley's policies, -
cries another.
The New York Press, close to the
president, remarks editorially:
LAS to finance, the Republican party
has evolved out of the chaos succeed
ing an election in which nothing was
settled but the rejection of the 50-cent
dollar a policy which will set the cur
rency Of the country beyond the reach
of demagogy and dishonesty for all
time. This policy it proposes TO exc
cute at the next session of congress-
Its leaders are pledged TO it. It's ap-
propriate committee of the house has
prepared the way to it. This very
platform of New York Republicanism,
whose platforms on questions of
finance ever foreshadow the platforms
OF the party nationally, specifically
promises it,

REPUBLICAN INFAMY.

There is no infamy of which the Re-
publican party is not capable if such
infamy will give it a political ad-
vantage. The latest infamy of which
the Republican party throughout the
nation is guilty is that of trying to
make the people believe that the Dem
ocratic party's sympathies are with
! Spain and against the administration
| Senator Lodge of Massachusetts was
the first to put forth this idea, de-
! claring that a vote for the Democratic
party was vote for Spain. Senator
Mason of Illinois takes up the cry and
repeats it in his own state. The Chi
cago Inter-Ocean, a dyed-in-the-wool
Republican paper, a paper that cham
pions every infamy suggested by its
party leaders, says:
A vote for a Republican will be a vote
for our country. a vote for a Demo-
crat will be vote for Spain.
The St. Louis democrat, an
other hide-bound Republican paper,
says:
A Democratic victory in the con-
gressional elections on Nov. s, would
arouse as sincere joy in Madrid as it
would in the most beSotted of the
Tammany wards in New York. a
Democratic victory would nerve the
Sagasta ministry with courage to re-
sist the American demands. 1t would
strengthen the Spanish peace commits
sioners in Paris to insist upon the
American assumption of the Cuban
and Puerto Rican debts and the Amer
lean evacuation of the Philippines. By
making 1t appear that the administra-
ton has been '-rebuked' on account of
the war every reactiOnary in the old
world, everybody who sees that the
triumph Of the United States is a
menace to tyranny in all its shapes,
everybody who is jealous of the in
huence and the power which the
United States is asserting in the
worlds affairs, would rejoice over a
Democratic triumph. One probable
consequence of a Democratic victory
would be a deadlock in the Paris con-
ference and a renewal Of the war, with
its losses in blood and money. The way
to avert this calamity, to prevent out
side dictation in American affairs, and
to advance American credit and in
ffuence all over the world. is to hit
SPANS ally in the congressional cleo
tions with some of the same vigor and
spirit with which Spain herself was hit
at Manila and Santiago.
Was there evelea better illustration
of the famous saying that Patriotism
is the last refuge of a scoundrel" than
this?
The man, be he United States SEN
ator or scavenger, or the editor who
says the Democratic party is the ally
of Spain, or that a vote for Demo-
cratic candidates is a vote for Spain,
is a liar and scoundrel and would
betray his country were he but offered
his price.
To characterize the Democratic party
as the ally Of SPAIN" is to character
ize half the American people as allies
of Spain and enemies of their country.
General Joe Wheeler will be voted
for for congress. and he win be voted
for a Democrat. Do Senator Lodge
and Senator Mason and the Inter
Ocean and the Democrat and
their ilk mean to tell the American
people that a vote for him is a vote
for an ally of Spain and an enemy OF
the United States?
Many reckless charges are made in
politics and exaggerations GO un-

SPAIN MUST ACT.

The American peace commissioners
are beginning to tire of the procrastina-
ton of the Spanish commissioners.
Likewise the American people are be-
ginning to tire of it.
1t is said the American commissioners
have come to the conclusion that
SPANS representatives, are prolonging
the negotiations for Interior purposes,
and that they propose to recall them to
the business in hand; in other words.
the Spaniards are to be told that they
must cease fooling. If such shall be
the course pursued by our commission
ers, the whole American people will
stand by the administration in uphold
ing the commissioners in such a posi-
ton.
The protocol under which the peace
negotiations are being conducted was
signed on Aug. u last. 1t is terse and
direct, and is impossible of miscon-
struction. 1t is as follows:
"a That Spain will relinauish all
claim of sovereignty over and title to
Cuba.
90 That Puerto Rico and other Span
ish islands in the West Indies and an
island in the Ladrones, to be selected
by the United States, shall be ceded to
the latter.
CD That the United States will &C.
cupy and hold the city, bay and harbor
of Manila, pending the conclusion of a
treaty of peace which shall determine
the control, disposition and government
of the Philippines.
(D That Cuba, Puerto Rico and other
Spanish islands in the West Indies shall
be Immediately evacuated, and that
commissioners, to be appointed within
ten days. shall within thirty days from
the signing of the protocol meet at
Havana and San Juan, respectively. to
