THE GOLD BOND DEFENSE.

When the Deseret Evening News ex-
pressed preference for gold bonds and
gently chided the city council for max
ing them payable in lawful money of
the United States 10 one had any
reason to be SURPRISED.
AS an organ of the non partisan"
party, it felt under obligations, no
doubt, to defend the conduit oe It's rep
reseatatives in the council. Not every
''non-partisan" organ feI; equal to rhe
undertaking.
II the News evinces Il disposition TO
regard the matter from the money
lenders point of view, rather than
that of the borrower. it should be re-
membered that the organizers and
promoters of the mon partisan" party
are better lenders than borrowers
If the majority in the council, on the
other hand, seemed to favor the Dor
rover, there is this excuse for them,
which the News, apparently, overlooks:
The members of the council represent
the borrower in this transaction.
They are the agents of the city;
stand for the people. Other corpora
lions may succeed in getting agents
into the council, too; but whenever
such thing occurs it is the fault of
the people who allowed themselves to
be misled. and they must ever bear
the consequences until an opportunity
comes to right the wrong.
In it's argument favoring the gold
bond issue, the News undertakes to
make point in the following:
There is another detriment that has
been apparently overlooked or not
given sufficient attention. 1t is shown
that $150.000 state bonds with a similar
proviso to that provided for in the
councils resolution were recently taken
uD at BIZ per cent, and it is claimed
that, therefore, there should be no
trouble in floating 100000 by the city
at half cent more. The thing that is
not made prominent enough is the fact
that state bonds are exempt from any
forms of taxation, while those of the
city are only exempt from city taxa .
ton, leaving them still liable to an
assessment of 2 per cent. thus reduc-
ing the interest to be drawn by the
bondholder to only 2 per cent, or IL
per ceat less than is received on the !
states obligations.
That applies with equal force to the
geld bonds, and, therefore, contains no
point at all in their favor If city bonds |
are taxed for state purposes, the differ |
ence would be taken into considera- !
ton By the purchaser whether gold or |
lawful money be required for their re-
demption.
There IS 10 excuse for members of
the Salt Lake city council voting for
what the money lenders demand with
out making an effort to obtain what
the people desire. The News may de-
Tend such a procedure, but it can never
justify it.

Spaniards, had become what would to-
day be called cult. Their thoughts
and ideals were the thoughts and
ideals of the romances of chivalry.
What the particular works were that
held such sway are set forth in that
famous chapter where the cure, the
barber and the don's niece pass upon
the knights library, condemning this
book to the flames, reserving that as
having some merit. The castles in
Spain that the Spaniards were build
ing in those days were enchanted
palaces and knights pavilions; they
lived in them, and Cervantes brought
them out and showed them in what
dreamland they had been dwelling. He
smiled away their ideals.
Many readers of Don Quixote COM
plain that the book is dull and unin-
teresting, that they find it a drag to
pursue it to the end. The reason is
that they approach the book with
false notion of it. They expect to find
picture of Spanish manners set forth
in a comic way. Finding it is not this,
they wonder what it is all about. The
satire is on SPANS Intellectual pur-
suits, and nothing else.
1t is verv doubtful if any one can
really appreciate Don Quixote who has
not come under the spell of the
romances of the Arthurian cycle, of
Amadis of Gaul, Palmerin of England
and the like. If they have, then they
will find Cervantes' famous novel one
of the most delightful books in the
world

OUR FINANCIAL DESTINY.

The Spaniards are goldbugs after the
Hanna pattern. Spain was included in
the list of enlightened countries"
which Republicans paraded two years
ago as having the gold stand ard. 1t is
the same country today.
The Spanish merchants at Santiago
refuse TO accept our silver dollars, eX-
cept at the Mckinley discount of fifty
per cent. Republican orators and edi-
tors have convinced the Spaniards, if
no one else, that the silver dollar is a
half dollar. They take our presidents
word for it. They are en- rapport with
out secretary CT the treasury. And,
while this government pays its soldiers
off in silver dollars, the administration
is telling the world that those dollars
are worth but fifty cents.
It must be embarrassing to the party
in power. The actions of goldbugs be-
lie their words. There is something
strange about it; something inconsist-
ent; something wrong.
Those Santiago Spaniards are prac-
teal goldbugs. 1t may be that their
sound" financial views will give
weight to the arguments of annexa-
tionists. Owing to the growth of the
silver sentiment at home it may be
necessary for Republicans to embrace
these sound money representatives of
the enlightened" land of Spain.
They are the sort of people Hanna
needs in his business. They will make
excellent auxiliary forces in the sys-
tematic attack being made by the gold
press on volunteers from silver states;
they are as anxious to strike the white
metal down as Republicans are; they
will probably vote for gold bonds
wherever they have an opportunity, as
citizens of an unparalleled republic;
they turn up their noses at the silver
dollar just as high as any single
standard stump speaker could ask of
them.
Imperialism has received a new inn
petus since the Santiago Spaniards
have declared themselves on the money
question. 1t may be impossible to
block the game of annexation. Perhaps |
the long headed Henry Watterson is |
looking TO these colonies for political !
succor. 1t may be our financial des- !
tiny.

1t is thought that Spain will at first
denur to the terms of peace to be Of
fered by this government. This is
certain. She viii desire to keep up the
pretense that she dictated in part the
terms and that she refused to accept
Americas terms. All this will be in
the nature of a saive for her wounded
national honor, and particularly as
something in the nature of SOP to
be thrown to the people. And then she
could no more come to terms in a bust
ness-like manner than she could fly.
Spain will demur TO the terms of peace,
but the demurrer will be overruled.

CONCERNING SPANS CHTV-
AIRY.

When Byron wrote that
Cervantes laughed SPANS chivalry
away,
he didn't know the whole story. The
''chivalry' he meant and the chivalry
that Cervantes ridiculed was senseless
brag and buster. These survive among
the Spanish in spite of his laughing
New York World
What Byron wrote was:
Cervantes smird SPANS
chivalry away.
The chivalry that Cervantes ridiculed
was not senseless brag and buster; to
do such a thing never once entered his
mind. Had such been his idea he
would have embodied it in the life of
the great knight of the Mancha: but
one will search that famous book in
vain for a single saying or deed that
indicates the least brag or buster.
Never was a character drawn that had
less brag and buster in it than Don
Quixote.
The purpose of Don Quixote was not
to ridicule the customs and manners
of the Spanish people, but to satirize
the literary taste of Spaniards. At the
time Cervantes wrote, the romances of
had absolute sway over the
