COUSIN OSBORNE STOPS OVER.

Consul General Osborne, Cousin Os-
borne has been stopping over in Lon
don. The Honorable Artillery company
members of the Ancient and Honor
able Artillery company of Boston, and
Cousin Osborne was there When
he rose to reply to a toast, he received
an ovation. and no doubt he was glad
to receive it. He testified to the great
friendship existing between the United
States and Great Britain. Then he re-
ferred to the question of an alliance
between them, though not in terms. He
said he did not believe that either
needed protection, unless against
combination of powers, but should that
combination ever occur, he was conf
dent that the protection would be given.
He must be of a very sanguine temper
ament, indeed, to give such assurance
of an alliance offensive and defensive
in case of a combination of the powers
against either country. The American
people have some traditions on this
subject that they have inherited from
Washington. and they are to avoid en-
tangling foreign alliances; and they are
more strongly inclined to adhere to
them thai to adopt new ones, even
when promulgated by so great a per-
sCnage as Cousin Osborne" But why
does our consul general in London talk
in this manner? He has no diplomatic
powers, and yet he talks. in his officia!
capacity, on subjects that properly be-
long to diplomacy. He certainly makes
himself ridiculous in the eyes of his
own countrymen, and no doubt does the
same in the eyes of Englishmen.
Just at the present time there seems
to be considerable "gush" in some of
the English papers about an alliance
between Great Britain and the United
States, and Cousin Osborne has ap-
parently been carried away with it.
Nothing is more desirable than that
our country should have the friendship
and good will of all nations; nothing is
less desirable than an alliance with any
of them. 1t is perfectly safe to say
there will be none.

TO COME IN FREE.

Tuesday Representative Dingley of
Maine, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house. intro
duced a joint resolution providing for
the temporary admission free of duty
of naval supplies procured abroad. 1t
is as follows:
Resolved. That such guns, ammuni-
ton and other naval supplies that may
be purchased abroad by this government
for the national defense prior TO Jan.
1, 1899, shall be admitted at any port
of entry in the United States free of
duty.
This is the same resolution that was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Chandler 1t is an administration
measure. and when it was introduced
in the senate, the secretary of the navy
wrote to Senator Hale as follows:
1.-The temporary remission of duties
is deemed important, inasmuch as with
out same special enactment Of this ma
ture such portion of the appropriation
made by congress for the purpose as
may be expended abroad would be very
materially reduced by the deduction
therefrom of duty, amounting, in some
cases, to nearly one-half of the pur-
chase price
There is sense in the resolution, as
it would be a most absurd thing to ex-
pend many million dollars for war sup
plies and then have to pay heavy du-
ties on them, which would materially
reduce the defense appropriation I'M
less another one were made to pay the
tariff; and that would be nothing but
taking the money out of one pocket
and putting it in another. During
President Harrison's administration the
government purchased abroad a supply
of shot and shells for heavy ordnance.
and when they arrived at the customs
house they were held for duty. And
it was not until considerable time after
ali difficulties with Chile had been
amicably adjusted that they were fin
ally released.
Chairman Dingley must feel very
much more encouraged over having
II operation of the law bearing his
name suspended in this case than in
the case OF the Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus. He can still try his hand at get
ting the circus in through the meshes
of his protective net.

CANADA's GovERNoR-GENERAL
AND SILVER.

Canada is about to have a new gov
ernor general. 1t is the Right Hon.
Lord George Hamilton, secretary of
state for India in Lord Salisbury's cab
met. A new governor general for Can
ada is not a matter that interests
Americans very much as a rule,
scarcely more than who are the gov
errors Of our states interests English
men. But the appointment of Lord
George Hamilton as governor general
of Canada will have for the people of
the west a rather unusual interest, as
he has been a student of the silver
question, and has had to deal with it
directly as secretary of state for India.
He was 2 prominent figure in the ne
gotiations that were had by the VOL
colt commission with the Salisbury gov
eminent AS secretary of state for In
dia he was compelled to take official
notice os the silver question as it af-
fected India; as governor general of
Canada he will have nothing to do with
it, but he will, in all probability, have
il forced upon his attention through its
agitation in this country. He will very
naturally take more or less interest in
the national politics of the United
States, and it will not take him long
to discover that among domestic aues-
items that of the free coinage of silver
is paramount Unless there should be
d foreign war, he will see that question
the great issue in the congressional
elections this fall, and if he shall re-
main IL Canada until the presidential
election in 1900, he will see it the great
issue in that year. While all this may
not moctfy his views on the silver
question, it can scarcely fail to impress
him very deeply how important the
issue is deemed in the United, States;
how terribly in earnest are the silver
advocates, and how determined they
are that there shall be no cessation of
the agitation of the matter until there
is recognition by the United States of
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
YER So impressed, Lord Hamilton can
not fail to impress his former official
with the Importance attach
ed to the silver question by the people
of this country.

WAR SCARE HUMoRs.
Dynamite In the Wash and "Patriot-
ism" Everywhere.

New York Commercial Advertiser: Some
of the officials of the Brooklyn navy yard
have been talking about the humors of
war since they heard of an incident which
they say punctuated the routine of the
commandments Office last week. The way
of ii was this: A suspicious-looking per-
son entered Admiral Bunce's headquart-
ers, carrying a bundle under one arm.
Hurrying through the dark hall. he ran
two steps at a time and as noiselesSly as
a cat up to the Office of Lieutenant Ward.
There he thrust the bundle into the hands
of the orderly at the door and retired as
swiftly as he had come
The orderly eyed the queer-looking bun
die with distrust and, holding 1t well
away from him, carried it into the office
and placed IL on Lieutenant Wards desk.
The removal of the &C ering of brown
paper revealed an inner coating of news
papers printed in foreign characters that
looked like Snanish. Lieutenant Ward
stopped ard uttered the one word:
"Dynamiter'
Don't unite it," said another officer,
who entered from an adjoining room.
The orderly squared his shoulders and
said with fortitude. as he thought of
the COURAGE of brave bill" Anthony of
the Maine: Lieutenant Ward. let me
unite II.
Lieutenant Ward is too brave and eff
cient an officer to criuge in the face of
danger. Himself he removed the newspa-
per. and revealed such unwarlike mate
rails as socks and underclothes. Every
body laughed. The orderly saw dream
Of fame vanish, and Lieutenant Ward is
quoted as having said:

a DENUNcIAT1oN OF DANCING.

Every little while the question of the
sin of dancing comes up for denuncia-
ton by some one who makes the well
fare of the human soul his particular
business in life. The good pastor of
the Brunswick On. j. Methodist church,
the Rev. George II. Neal, has been de-
nouncing dancing in terms that must
make dancers tremble. In a recent
sermon he said:
The dance is destructive to morality
in too many instances. 1t has an i'm
moral past. 1t did not originate with
the Hebrews, but with heather nations.
Read what Plato and Livy say of its
unclean tendencies in their day. The
Roman senate prohibited the dance by
law 1S6 years before Christ. The dress
of the ball increases its inherent ten
dency to uncleanliness. Women vie with
each other to appear before men with
what, for the sake of delicacy, I will
call the lowest neck dress.
Every hooting owl by night and hiss
ing goose by day cries to them: God
hath entirely covered US, so that we
could appear in the society of crea-
ton without shame. and God hath pro-
vided you with the materials for COW
ering. Why, then, expose yourself with
such a shameless face?' Some will en-
deavor to justify the dress Of the ball
By quoting: ITO the pure all things are
pure" but human nature is human
nature. You might just as well say
that powder is not what 1t ought to be
because ii DANES when the spark falls
upon it. We have Bible authority for
keeping the sparks of temptation away
from the powder of human nature.
Rev. DR.. Leonard, missionary secre-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-03-17

tary of our church, states that the
dance is harmful to the moral and re-
ligious interests Of society" 1 do not
hesitate to affirm that the modern
dance is immoral.
Hear DR.. Howard Crosby. the emil
nent Presbyterian. He said: IN re-
gard to these waltzes, polkas and such
like, Christian ought not to hesitate
a moment any more than he would
about thieving and lying. This vice has
captivated the young and deluded the
old in the church of Christ, and no min
ister must utter an uncertain sound
here"
1t scarcely makes dancing a sin be-
cause it did not originate among the
Hebrews. nor is it a sin. There are no
purer women in the world than the
American women. and they are almost
universally fond of dancing; and they
are noted the world over for the grace
of their dancing. 1t is very doubtful
if Pastor Neal has ever known OF a
single instance where harm has come
to any one from indulging in the in
nocent and delightful pastime of dane
ing. If bad people are admitted to
dancing parties their presence Will have
a tendency to contaminate everyone in
the ball room, the same as it would any
other place. Pastor Neal talks about
sparks and powder, and how the one
infiames the other. If a spark touches
powder there is an instant explosion,
and while he does not designate
whether the man or the woman is the
spark or the powder, yet if the spark.
man, assumes familiarity with the pow
der, woman, there is always an explo-
sion that annihilates the spark, man.
We would recommend Pastor Neal to
read what Max Muller. in his Aud
Lang Syne," has TO say about dancing,
and how poetry was the outgrowth of
it. Never was 4 more glorious trib-
ute paid to dancing. There the good
pastor will find traced out for him how
the feet of poetry were first derived
from the rhythmical movement of the
feet in dancing. But as Pastor Neal re-
CARDS dancing as a sin he would most
probably look upon reading a book by
Max Muller as rank heresy. Pastor
Neal may enter his protest against
dancing, but young feet will dance as
young hearts will sing and shout for
joy, and it is a part of the scheme of
creation that they should.

FIRST YEAR OF THE ADMINS
TRATIoN.


The first year OF the Mckinley ad-
nlinistration has been completed, and
administration papers are making much
ado about it, as much ado as though the
president had been one of the most re-
markable men ever called to the presi-
Dental chair ---
The San Francisco Cali has one of the
most fulsome articles on the first year
of the administration we have met with
anywhere. 1t says that no president
since the time of Lincoln entered office
under more adverse circumstances than
Mckinley. It says the business of the
country had been bad for four years,
and was still stagnant. The Call then
goes OF to say that he has just COM
pleted the first year of his term, AID
already he has won the confidence of
the whole people as completely as he
had won that of his party before he
was nominated; that although his party
had control Of but one house of con-
gress the senate having q free silver
majority and being opposed to his
financial policy, he has succeeded in
bringing about the enactment of a
tariff which has restored industry, re-
vived trade and provided the treasury
once more with an income equal to the
needs OF the country.
The greater part of that is nothing
bat fustian. 1t is utter nonsense to say
that no president since the time of Lin
coin entered Office under more adverse
circumstances than Mckinley. 1t is
asserted that he has won the confidence
of the whole people. 1t is true that at
the present time the whole people are
standing by the president, but this is
because there is a prospect of serious
trouble with Spain. So far as domestic
matters are concerned, the president
never had the confidence of those who
voted for Mr.. Bryan, and he was fast
losing the confidence of the ''souEd
money" men of the country when he
was forced to make his New York ban
quet speech. He has entirely lost the
confidence Of those Democrats who
bolted their party and supported him
for president. So much for his having
gained the confidence of the whole
people.
There never was a more untruthful.
unfounded statement than that the
Dingley law has restored industry, re-
vived trade and provided the treasury
once more with an income equal to the
needs OF the country" All over the
country business is stagnant still, while
there has been created, under the oper-
alton of the Dingley law. a deficit of,
in round numbers, $50, 100000 That de-
felt has been created in seven months.
And that is the way the treasury has
been provided with IAN income equal to
the needs of the country" If there is
anything to congratulate the country
on in a condition of that kind, we fail
to see it, and it will hardly be used as
a strong argument by the Republicans
in the elections this fall.
The first year of the Mckinley admin
istration has been disappointment,
rather than anything else, and for the
one great measure on which so many
hopes We're built-the tariff law-its
friends are still asking a suspension of
Judgment. In the way of politics, the
present excitement over the Maine and
the possibility of war has been a god
send to the administration.
