AID Is NEEDED.

The calamity that has befallen the
people of Park City is greater than it
was first deemed to be. The people of
the town are brave and they have
faced the disaster that has overtaken
them with courage and heroism that
sustain their reputation for indomita-
BILE pluck But many families have lost
homes and household goods and per-
sonal apparel, and at the present time
they are not able to suffer such a loss
or to make it good. None of these have
asked aid and will not, their personal
and civic pride forbid them to, while
other citizens upon whom the loss has
not fallen so heavily are trying, most
heroically, to render all aid that may
be needed. No praise of the spirit that
prompts this can be too high, and it
whole state. Still there is need of aid
for Park City. The families that need
their generous fellow townsmen, and
they will suffer in a proud silence
rather than let their needs be known.
The Herald knows from unimpeachable
sources, from those who have personal
knowledge of the losses of various fam
lilies and their lack of financial ability
to sustain them, that they need aid.
Knowing this The Herald asks for con-
tributions in money and in kind for the
victims of the Park City fire. These
contributions will be duly acknowl-
edged, and they will be distributed
among those needing them. Every care
will be taken not to wound the pride
or feelings of the recipients of these
benefactions, as their distribution viii
be made quietly and with an absence
of all display. Already the Hebrew
Benevolent society, knowing the true
condition of affairs, has sent a contri-
button in money to The Herald office
for distribution among the Park City
sufferers.
Contributions are asked in the name
of the broadest charity, and their dis
tribution will be made expeditiously
and quietly, under the supervision of
those personally acquainted with the
people of the Park and their condi-
ton

THE LIEUTENANT GENERAL
SHIP.

The house committee on military af-
fairs has agreed on and favorably re-
ported a joint resolution reviving the
grade of lieutenant general in the
army. 1t authorizes the president,
whenever he deems it expedient, to ap-
point lieutenant general to be select
ed from those officers in the military
service distinguished for courage, skill
and ability, the limitation in the bill
as to the choice from officers mot be-
low the grade of major general being
stricken out by the committee.
The committee is most anxious to dis
claim that any particular general is to
be the beneficiary under this resolu-
ton, and to announce that while Gen
eral Miles has frequently been urged
for lieutenant generalship, the men,
bers of the committee claim that his
name is no more than a suggestion,
and that the resolution leaves it open
to the president whom he shall ap-
point, the appointee, however, being
subject to confirmation by the senate.
Care is also taken to point out that the
grade is open to any commander, that
even General Shafter has a fair chance
to secure the appointment.
The people will believe that this joint
resolution is being engineered in Gen.
eral Miles interest. If it is adopted by
the senate there is no doubt that from
that very moment the president will
be besieged and importuned to bestow
the rank on some one, and as General
Miles is more Of an adept at pulling
wires than any other general in the
army, it is likely the wires will be
pulled chiefly in his interest And it
could be urged with a good deal of
reason that the grade being revived it
should be filled. If it is open to COM
petition, all the while various aspirants
will continually be urging that this or
that achievement entities them TO the

MIR. CLEVELAND ON TERRIToR-
IAL EXPANSION.

Mr.. CIeveland's address on Good
Citizenship at the commencement eX-
ercises of the Lawrenceville IN. j.
school is unquestionably the most
notable address of the kind that has
been delivered this year. The major
part of it was devoted to the question
that is fast becoming the great ques-
ton of the day for Americans-the
question of the policy of expansion, OF
imperialism. The sentiments he uttered
are practically the same as those ut
tered by Mr.. Bryan in his address at
the Omaha exposition on Nebraska
day.
Mr.. Cleveland says the American
people are tempted every day and
every hour to abandon their eccus-
toned ways and enter upon course OF
new and strange adventure. Truly he
says that never in the country's his
tory have the people been beset with
temptations so dangerous as those
which now whisper in their ears the
alluring words of conquest and expan-
sion. These are siren sounds which as
sail the ears, and not only should the
ears be deafened that they may not be
should be dashed to the mast that they
may not steer the ship of state into
the breakers, where the rocks of sure
destruction lie.
AT the close of his address Mr.. Cleve-
land uttered these patriotic warning
words:
in the presence of our present pre-
that American courage in battle will
fail to bring us victory; but pray you
not to forget that, when the clash of
arms is stilled and the courage of the
soldiers has done its work, we shall
greatly need, in dealing with a problem
that viii confront us, a steady and I'M
compromising moral courage, which,
unmoved by clamor and undisturbed
by the excitement of triumph, will de-
citizenship desires to be right and just
and safe"
The dangers that beset the nation at
this time are not those of battle upon
land or sea, but in the councils of the
nation. Never was there greater need
for caution and conservatism, for a re-
currence to the counsels and practices
of the fathers.
The sentiments Mr.. Cleveland ex-
pressed are in accord with the utter
ance Of President Mckinley in his in
augural address. I'VE want no wars
of conquest" said he; I'VE must avoid
the temptation of territorial agrees
sion."
The people should heed the words of
the ex-president and of the president.
They are those of patriots, and point
out the country's true policy.
