NEW WAR VESSELS DELAYED.

Topeka and SOmers Driven Into Portland
by Storm-Crews DESERVING.
PORTLAND, Or, April I.-The new
United States cruiser Topeka formerly
Diogenes), in command of Lieutenant
John J. Knapp, and the torpedoboat
Somers, Ensign 9. w. Hazelton COM
manding, which were enroute for the
United States, have put in here. After
clearing Portland bill such heavy sea
was encountered that the Somers was
almost buried, and Lieutenant Knapp
deemed it safer to return.
About 80 of the Topeka S crew refused
to sail in her, necessitating the shipping
of others to fill their places.
The Somers, it is found, sprung a
leak, but her officers do not regard the
injury as serious. Her crew, however,
became frightened and struck. Being
merely hired hands, not enlisted men,
they are not amenable to naval discl-
pline and Lieutenant Knapp is endeav-
oring to secure a fresh crew.

HOW SLEEP THE BRAvEi

How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes blest,
When spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallow'd mould,
She there shall dress sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have ever trod,
BY fairy hands their knell is rung;'
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And freedom shall while repair
TO dwell a weeping hermit there.

to the President.
"The collector of customs of Detroit is
here (at Lansing) in charge OF the lobby
to defeat bill on railroad taxation. He
is assisted by the collector of customs
from Port Huron. They are reported to
be promising positions to members who
vote against the bill. May ask you to
have these federal officers recalled and
this abuse of federal patronage cor
rected?
The whole federal wing of the party in
Michigan rallied to the support of the
railroads in escaping their fair share of
the tax burden, or what appears to be
their fair share. The bill for equal
taxation pressed by the governor has
been defeated in the state senate.

BRITISH EXPERT ON THE
MAINE DISASTER.

An English naval expert, Captain
Kent, has been making an investigation
into the cause of the destruction of the
wreck a day or two after it occurred,
and made as thorough an investigation
as was possible under the circum-
stances. He had several conversations
with Captain Sigsbee. And what was
the conclusion he reached? 1t was that
the explosion that destroyed the Maine
was external, and not internal. OF
ion as to who was responsible for the
explosion, but the very fact that he
thinks it was from the outside is evil
dence that he doesn't think the Ameri-
cans were. His opinion will lend added
weight to the report of the naval board
of inquiry.
1t may be that the responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine will never
be definitely and absolutely fixed, but
when the board of inquiry made its re-
port the latter part of March there
were a number of papers that imme-
diately constituted themselves the de-
tenders of the Spanish view of the
cause of the disaster-that it was the
result of an internal explosion caused
by lack of discipline on the Maine. The
Spaniards, too, were as cock sure about
the cause of the explosion as it was
possible to be; they left no room for
the possibility of a doubt. And their
apologists and defenders chimed in
with that view; the report of the
American board of inquiry was to be
that of the Spaniards to be
credited. What will they say to the
report of Captain Kent? 1t is not I'M
likely they will charge him with bias
and sinister motives, for Spanish SYM
pathizers are capable of charging any
thing against those who do not accept
their views.

MR.. TowNE ON SILVER.

The lecture of Hon. Charles A.
Towne. chairman of the National Sill
yer Republican party, at the theatre
last evening, was a most brilliant and
interesting presentation of the cause Of
bimetallism.
The Herald can agree, in the main,
with all that he said, even to his sug
gestions relative to the cooperation of
the silver forces. He said, in sub
stance. that no man should put his
party before the cause of silver. and
that is true where the cause of silver
would have to be subordinated in
order to carry out party policy,
which. so far as the Democracy of
this state is concerned, is not the case,
because the Chicago platform, which
will be reaffirmed by the Democrats in
state convention this fall, offers all
that the most ardent friend of silver
can desire; and if, as Mr.. Towne adj
vises. the cause and not the party
comes first. there is no good reason why
a Silver Republican should not CO.
operate with the Democrats, because
the triumph of Democracy means the
triumph of the silver cause,
The Democracy of this state has, in
the most cordial manner possible, in
vited the cooperation of all friends of
silver in this falls campaign. No man
or woman will be denied a full and
free participation in the party caucuses
and conventions on equal terms with
every other member for preferment be-
cause he or she has not always been
identified with the party; in other
words, the time of their enlistment will
not be taken into consideration. At
no time has there been any inclination
among Democrats in this state to re-
ject the cooperation of all friends of
silver. but in shaping the course to be
pursued it has become apparent that
the cause of silver would suffer irrep-
arabic injury here in Utah unless the
Democrats maintain a strict party
organization. Regardless of sugges-
tons to the contrary, from whatever
source they may come, local conditions
must govern the action of the silver
forces in every state, and what would
be considered sound politics in one
state will not apply in another when
the conditions are different.
It has been suggested that had Mr..
Towne consulted his personal inter
ests he would today be an active,
energetic member of the Democratic
party. If Mr.. Towne's utilization with
the Democracy meant his personal
triumph and that meant the advance
ment of the silver cause, as it I'M
dOubtedly would. then Mr.. Towne
should be a Democrat in name as we'll
as in fact; and the same rule applies
to all other Silver Republicans.

NORTH DAKOTA. DIVORCE MILLS
CHECKED.

1t seems that at last a check is to
be placed upon the North Dakota di-
vorce industry scandal. The supreme
court of that state has just handed
down decision in a divorce case where
an appeal was taken from the decision
of the court below, the ground of ap-
peal being that the plaintiff was not
a resident of the state. The court be-
low is reversed and the case dismissed.
In its decision the court takes occa-
sion to warn all district courts to look
closely into the question of residence
in all cases where divorces are sought
by residents of other states.
This decision should have a salutary
effect in stopping the wholesale grant
ing of divorces by the North Dakota
courts. That state has been the stamp
ing ground of all the people of the
east who have wanted a divorce, but
wanted to marry some one else. The
courts there have known that people
were focking to the state for the sole
purpose of taking advantage of its
loose divorce laws, or perhaps it would
be more correct to say, the loose admin
istration of them. These people were
perfectly willing to swear that it was
their intention to become bona fide res
idents of the state and that they had
not come to it merely for the purpose
of securing a divorce and then quitting
it. If the courts did not know they
were lying, everybody else did; and no
doubt the courts did too, but they were
making a good thing out of the bust
ness and they were perfectly willing to
let the crime of perjury rest upon those
who were committing it.
This decision of the supreme court
should have the effect to stop the
scandalous divorce business in North
Dakota. The future is quite likely to
see some very serious and unfortunate
results coming from these divorces;
especially is this likely to be the case
where any considerable estates may be
left by persons divorced by North Da-
kota courts when such persons were
not bona fide residents of the state
This decision will be welcomed by de-
cent people throughout the land.

MAY ON THE MARSHES.

Gilded with buttercups, with frost Of
white
Wild lilies-of -the-valley, the marshy
green
Glimmered with blue-fags countless all
between
Me and the trimming streams long
line of light.
And all the sweet air laughed as to a
Sprite,
And danced and reigned with music
crystalline.
With triiied and tittering melody, faint
and keen.
Where in the flags the marsh-wren
woke delight
Delight to break my heart; for when
turned
To meet your dark-eyed smile, to see
your face
Reflect he light wherewith the sunset
burned
Only the dark-eyed flags smiled up at me-
Only the green was touched with golden
And only the marsh-wren thrilled my
tears to see.
