SENATOR MANTLE URGES FUS-
ION.

Senator Lee Mantle has returned to
Butte from Washington and in an in
terview says the silver question will
be practically obscured in the next
campaign by the question of territorial
acquisition He further states he thinks
the people of the country are almost
unanimous in the sentiment that none
of the conquered territory should be re-
leased. He concludes his interview by
urging a fusion Of all silver factions
for the fall campaign.
If the question Of territorial acqui-
sition is going to absorb and dominate
all others in the fall campaign, then of
course that is the one on which parties
will divide, and it will be the chief test
Of party fealty during the campaign;
little if any interest will be taken in
any other This being so, is it not an
absurdity to urge those who believe in
silver, but who belong to different
parties, to fuse? What possible object
could there be in fusing on a question
that is to be of secondary considera-
ton? Senator Mantle cannot but know
that wherever there is fusion it is only
upon paramount issues, never upon
secondary ones.
Senator Mantle thinks the question of
territorial acquisition will obscure all
others this fall. Such being the case,
does he think it possible that partisans
will stand by, like so many stone dunn
mics, and take no part in the contest
because they chance to think alike
upon some question that is not in is
sue, some question that has no possible
chance of coming to the front?
Senator Mantle says the silver ques-
ton will not be the issue this, fall, that
another question will obscure it, but he
urges friends of silver to fuse. what
on? On a paramount or a secondary
question? His attitude Is q very in
consistent one indeed.

HADLEy D. JOHNSON.

Yesterday at noon, Hon. Hadiey d.
Johnson, at the age of ieightv-six,
passed away. A modest, retiring man.
few men in the state were more widely
known than Mr.. Johnson, none more
respected. For a quarter of a century
or more he was identified with Utah's
interests and his highest ambition was
their advancement. He was always
conservative yet progressive man,
never going to extremes. He had an
unbounded faith in the capacity of the
people for self-government, and
throughout his long life he re-
manned a Democrat Always promi-
nent in local politics. he never
sought or held Office When the first
electoral vote OF the state was cast.
Mr.. Johnson was chosen messenger to
carry the returns to Washington, and
he deeply appreciated the honor con-
ferred upon him.
Mr.. johnson goes down to the grave
filled with years and honors, carry
ing with him the love and respect of
all who knew him, and leaving no
enemy behind. He was citizen of
whom the state was proud and his
course in life is an example for all
other citizens.

THE LESSON OF THE OREGON.

The accounts of the chase of the
Cristobal Colon show that she came
within an ace of getting away. 1t was
her high speed that enabled her to
make such u great race, and had it not
been for the speed of the Brooklyn and
the fairly high speed of the Oregon,
the Cristobal Colon would have es-
capped. The value of speed in warships
was demonstrated as never before.
The great battleship Oregon ploughed
through the water at the very top of
her speed, her engines working to their
utmost capacity; and they worked and
worked at their limit and never once
showed a single sign of weakness. Her
speeding was. in its way, as great a
triumph as her fighting, and showed
how great and staunch boat she is.
Had her specifications called for a
twenty or twenty two-knot speed, her
builders would have given it to her
as easily as they gave her her fifteen
knot speed. The naval battle of San
tiago has proven one thing beyond con-
troversy, and that is that to have the
highest efficiency the battleship of the
future must combine great speed with
fighting powers. In the one the Ore
gon is not so perfect as she should be,
though she ranks high; in the other
she has no superior. Her record shows
her to be the first battleship of the
world. What a triumph she is How
justly proud of her the people arel
The lesson of the Oregon is: Give the
highest possible speed to our battle
ships about to be built a speed higher
than that possessed by any battleships
built or in course Of construction.

peace, with the malefc influence OF
Weyierism, the sardonic watchfulness
of Carlos, the fanaticism of religious
bigots, and the superstition of the
masses to contend against.
In fact. the chief obstacle to peace
seems to be religious fanaticism.
Priests have counseled the people to
die rather than allow invaders to
desecrate their sanctuaries or plant a
soil. Civilians are infiamed by pulpit
harangues and warned against the
cruelty and rapacity of Americans.
-Woapen are terrorized into submissive
starvation by priestly discourses upon
American lust and brutality. Soldiers
are driven to desperation by tales Of
torture, and they shoot until the guns
fall from their hunger-weakened
grasp.
1t was the baleful influence Of
bigotry which brought about the war,
which perpetuated the conditions that
western civilization could no longer
tolerate. 1t made the Spanish people
lf-righteous, self-satisfied. and,
consequently, nom progressive. 1t
made them intolerant, uncharitable
and severe. 1t filled them with super
stition and left them helpless in the
hands of designing leaders. 1t taught
them to surrender their right to reason
for themselves, and made them puppets
in the hands of a crafty priesthood.
And so it is that the Spanish peo-
pie cannot sense the situation. Genera
lions have grown up in mental indo-
lence-aliowing some one else to think
for them on public questions, to read
for them, to speak for them, to act
for them. The might of manhood has
been crushed out of the Spanish
masses. They have forgotten how to
reason, they never sensed the response
bilities of Independent citizenship, they
never breathed the pure air of intel
lectual freedom.
How can such people " ense defeat
or realize the meaning of n hopeless
fight? A fool and fanatic only fights
to die.

THE ALEXANDERS OF COLON

Catching phrases and sesquipedalian
verbiage. full of sound and fury, sig
nifying nothing" haye a tremendous
influence over peoples minds, espec-
tally when they are in a state of ex-
citement from any cause. The public
mind of America is in a state of ex-
element, and American success in the
war has carried the people off their
feet to greater or less degree. Some,
filed with much enthusiasm and re-
flecting but little, have said that
wherever the stars and stripes are
carried by this war, there they shall
remain as though that cry were the
ne plus ultra of patriotism. The en-
forcement of any such a theory would
be direct reputation of the coun-
try's solemn declaration disavowing all
Intention to annex Cuba No doubt
those who raise this cry are willing
to trample upon that declaration as
being nothing more than a sop thrown
to those who have squeamish con-
sciences. The "squeamish conscience
of the American people will never per-
nit so perfidio $ a thing to be done.
How absurd the cry is is shown by the
Pittsburg Dispatch, when it says:
When the flag of the United States
is hoisted on the continents of Europe
and Africa, as well as in Oceanica, it
is just possible the righteousness of the
propaganda, that wherever the stars
and stripes are carried by this war,
there they shall remain" may begin to
be apparent even to the imperialist
jingoes. But if the United States is to
abandon, at one jump, its principles
and traditions together, there should
be no mincing of matters. 1t has Spain
at its mercy, and if the war, begun in
the cause of humanity, is to be per-
Verted into war of conquest, the ma
ton should not neglect to extend its
imperial power and ''civilizing inf1u-
ences" over all the territory Of Spain
Who will be governor general of
Spain? Senator Morgan's absence from
this continent would be welcomed by
a majority of the people, and he might
be induced to accept. For the other
governors general it might be well to
take other senators of imperialist pro-
clivities, meantime passing a law that
if any colony secedes the governor
thereof shall never be eligible to return
to America.
Where argument fails, ridicule is the
only weapon with which people can be
affected. And while the advocates of
a world-embracing colonial policy may
not see the wrong of it they may be
made alive to the absurdity of it.

To meet the lurking foe,
Succor the brave who go to bear

Over the cruel main,
Pilot our heroes safely back
And give us peace again.

COURAGE Or DESPAIR.

Spain will not give up. Without
hope or purpose the little power con-
tinues to hunt its head against the
stone wall of American superiority. 1t
goes into battle now with the despera-
ton of a suicide rather than the cour-
age of a soldier.
Cervera went to his doom and he
knew it. His governments rdered him
into the jaws of destruction and knew
what it meant. Imbecility issued the
orders, and martyrdom obeyed them.
The Spanish cabinet is ratified and its
army reckless. The commander at
Santiago was told to hold the fort"
or die in its ruins. The battle is on
