MR. ELDREDGE IS a GoLDBUG.

The Republican party having perfect
ed its policy of protection by the en-
actment of the Dingley law, it was
bound to take up the financial ques-
ton and put its policies on il into stat
utes. 1t was the question that divided
the people in 1896. and the Republicans
having triumphed they very naturally
desired to strengthen their positiorI
and render it as impregnable as posi-
bic against future assaults.
The party managers having put
gold plank into the national platform
deemed it prudent to make 1t appear
that the party was not irrevocably
pledged to the gold standard. 80 the
gold standard declaration was SEEM
ingly, but only seemingly, modified by
the phrases about an agreement among
the leading commercial nations in re-
gard to free coinage. That was moth
ing but a sorry sop thrown to the
small silver sentiment in the Republi-
can party. To make the whole scheme
appear less of a sham the Wolcott
commission was sent to Europe, and
while it was there President Mckinley
sent a special message to congress in
extra session advising the appointment
of commission to consider currency
reforms. The message dweIt on the
necessity of establishing the currency
and banking system on a better basis
and declared that the subject should
not be postponed until the regular ses-
sion of congress. The house adopted
a resolution authorizing the president
to appoint such a commission, but the
senate failed to adopt it.
Such was the special message of the
president on the currency question. All
the while Secretary Gage was doing
everything in his power to strengthen
the gold standard, and the recommen-
dations made in his report received the
endorsement of the president in his an
nuaI message. All this was but a back
Gaping of the efforts of athe WoIcott
commission in behalf of silver. When
that commission returned it did not
make any report, but Senator Wolcott
did make a speech in the senate, tell
ing what the commission had done, and
in which ne numerically scored Secre-

APOSTLE TAYLoR's TALK.

APOSTLE John W. Taylor is famous
for his breaks, and it is not believed
possible for him to open his mouth to
address a congregation without max
ing a bad one. He made a frightful
one in his talk at the tabernacle yes
terday. The substance of it was that
ne had stood on a street corner one
evening with some friend, prominent
churchman, and the remark was made
men who were on the streets at night
had lost their regulations. This was
bad. but worse was to come, and it
came when he repeated lot of SANDER
about members of the tabernacle choir,
to the effect that some of them resorted
To houses where rooms were let for
immoral purposes. He very properly
said these accusations should be inves-
tiga:ed by the stake authorities, but
did 1t not dawn on him that the only
decent thing to do was to tell the
proper authorities privately what he
had heard, and have them make an in
vestigation? He didn't do this. but in
stead gets up before thousands of peo-
pie and repeats what he confessed
were rumors, and which were an in
suit to every member of the choir and
an outrage upon their parents That
his talk. outrageous in the extreme,
chagrined his fellow apostles, was
made evident by President Cannon's
remarks, who followed him.

guilty of is an insult to the female

tary Gage for his course in doing all in
his power to strengthen the gold stand
ard. though the secretary had done
nothing that did not have the cordial
approval and commendation Of the
president. Wolcott's philippe was
aimed at Gage. but intended for the
president, only he did not dare to say
of the president what he said of the
man who was simply carrying out the
presidents policy.
The effort of the administration and
| the Republican party now is to secure
the election of a Republican house OF
representatives that viii carry out the
financial policy for which the presi-
dent has been so solicitous and worked
SO hard. In Utah the man selected by
the Republicans for election to con-
! gress, and to aid in carrying out this
policy, is Mr. Alma Eldredge. He
stands upon a platform that endorses
all of McKinley's policies and does not
condemn one of them; those policies
include the strengthening of the gold
standard. Do the people of Utah de-
sire to send to congress as their rep
resentative a man who endorses Nc
Kinley's gold policy? If such is their
desire. all they have 10 do is to elect
Mr.. Eidredge; he viii stand by the ad-
ministration through thick and thin.

them. He will never say so, and he
knows he could never have received the
nomination of his party had there been
the faintest suspicion that he would
antagonize the administration in any
thing
The election TO congress Of Mr.. Alma
Eldredge would be the election of a
goldbug. for he would vote for gold
bug policies. for the silver plank in the
Republican state platform is no more
an honest declaration in favor of silver
than was the sending of the Wolcott
commission 10 Europe an honest eff
1ort to further the interests of silver
through international agreement.
The hope for silver. whatever it is
lies in the Democratic party, and not
the Republican. The Democratic party
in national convention has declared in
favor of the free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of silver; the Republi-
can party has declared against it.
Mr.. Eldredge is the nominee of the
Republican party, the anti-silver party.
Do the people of Utah want him as
their representative? Not unless they
are ready to turn their backs upon sill
yer; this they are not ready to do.

BRUTAL CAMPAIGN METHODS.

1t is impossible to conceive of a
wretch more vile, of being more
shameless. more utterly lost to the
better impulses of humanity, than the
one who, for malice, for personal salts
faction or spite, for political advantage
or courted notoriety, deliberately and
persistently assails innocent babes,
holding them up TO ridicule day after
day.
Whatever may be the domestic rela-
tions of any man, however one may
question their propriety or legality, it
is not the part of chivalry or of honor
to invade the home, even of a Mormon
elder. to assail the mother and slur the
children on the fathers account. To
refer to them for the purpose of making
public some alleged offense may be
excused under certain circumstances,
especially if the motives behind such
action are pure, and when the object
sought is not manifestly personal or
partisan. But to continually claw at
the heartstrings of that mother, who
is just as conscientious and as faithful
as any wife and mother anywhere, TO
brandish the club of caricature above
the heads Of prattling babes day after
day, is not the part of 4 man-it is
brutal, cowardly. disgusting.
If any man have aught against an
other let him assail that other all he
cares. let him glut his satisfaction if
he will, in the street, in the press, in
the courts, or anywhere; but there is
something in the harmless innocence
of babyhood which should be as much
of a protection as are the silvered
hairs of age.
The law, the ends of justice. are not
to be pleaded as an excuse for coarse
brutality. Deal with men as you will,
assail their character, impugn their
honesty, dog their footsteps. swear out
complaints, rend the ties of man and
wife, but respect the bond that holds
the mother to her children. She is a
woman; she is human; and there are
some things sacred even in the homes
of plural wives, that politicians should
leave alone.

ANOTHER SoMERSAULT.

MIR. Eldredge's organ is working hard
for his election. It is trampling under
| foot all regard for decency and truth,
tearing its cwn record to tatters, eat
ing its own words and spewing its bile
upon the people of the state

as Mormon preacher: that so devoted
mas his life been to his church, that
he is mere chump in his knowledge
Of the principles of the American gov
eminent as evinced by his attempted
! discussion of political principles, and by
that time the impression will be that
there was a miatake made when the

But when Mr.. Roberts was i'll the con-
stitutional convention it considered
him the champion debater'' of that
body, compared him to an "eagle at
which the DAVIS were pecking," to a
mighty river beside whom the other
debaters of that convention were as
''stagnant sloughs.' and later on, to a
mental reservoir into which thoughts
and ideas were constantly pouring
through the channel of hard study.
AT another time the Republican or
gan showed it's high opinion of Mr..
Roberts thus:

CONFERENCE.

Conference is always an event in
Utah. The gathering is as unique in
| the social and religious life of the state
as the high wall around the temple
] block, and the wall around the tithing
office block are unique in the architec-
turai features of the city. Above all,
it is a religious gathering when mem
bers of the Mormon church come from
all parts of the state to listen to the
preaching and exhortations of their re-
ligious leaders. Members of the church
come not merely from various parts of
the state. but they come from other
states and territories, from Canada on
the north and Mexico on the south To
many it is as q home gathering, for
many who come from surrounding
states and territories and foreign coun-
tries have emigrated from Utah to
them.
While those who come to conference
do SO primarily from religious motives,
yet social and business interests also
attract them. There is an exchange of
greetings and an interchange of ideas
Conference causes the people of the
state to assemble together twice a year
as no other event could. 1t is always
looked forward to as an event of more
than ordinary Importance by the people
in the various towns and settlements.
for it affords an opportunity for
change of scene and surroundings that
nothing else does. And the people of
the city look forward to it with the
same pleasant anticipation.
At no other season of the year do the
streets present so animated an appear
ance as during conference, and it is al
ways interesting and a pleasure to
walk down them at such times to meet
friends and gaze into the faces of
strangers. Hospitable and courteous to
visitors as the city is. none are more
welcome, so welcome, it may be said.
as conference visitors.

A SONG OF THE WEST.

1 sing of the West, the peerless West,
OF the Eden where plenty reigns,
Where sunlight CLEANS on the crystal
streams.
And kisses the hills and plains;
Where the harvest laughs in the ranch
er's face,
And the fruit on the bending trees
Is ali aflush with a rosy blush
From the kiss of the saucy breeze.
I sing of the land where the miners drill
Bites deep into natures heart,
Where the powder roars as it rends the
doors
To the golden treasure apart;
Where the smoke from the mills rises up
With the clouds in its darkening flight.
And the pack trains wend round the tor
tuous bends
OF the trail on the mountain height.
I sing of the wales where the flowers
bloom,
OF the forests SO deep, and dark,
Where the wind deer plays through the
summer days,
And feeds in the grassy park;
Where the antered elk in its majesty
The shade of the pinion seeks,
And the mountain sheep in their antics
From the crags of the towering peaks
1 sing of the homes on the widespread
Or nesting amid the peaks.
Where the breezes play in their merriest
way,
And God through the songbird speaks;
Where the dove of peace, with its snowy
wings.
Is perched over every hearth.
Where the hearts are light and the eyes
are bright.
And the echoes are rife with mirth.
Then hurrah for the Vest for the peer
less Vest
Hurrah for the home of health!
Where the valleys CLEAN like a golden
dream,
And the mountains are gorged with
wealth;
Where the. people dwell in content and
peace,
nthe wilds or the busy towns.
Where the sun is bright and the stars
at night
Seem jewels in natures crown

trip. each time throwing the ticket out
of the window or under the seat as soon
as he had deposited the regular fare with
the conductor. says the Ladies' Home

cts all around. OF course, Mark had none
to show. and had to buy another. aDpar-

amused the American. dumbfOunded the
