THE NEXT SENATOR.

Utahs next senator will be a DEM
ocrat, and being a Democrat it goes
without saying that he will be a good

A number of prominent Democrats
are mentioned in connection with the
senatorship. AND any one of them would
honor and serve the state well. Each
has his particular friends and admirers.
who will push his interests But the
election of the senator lies with the
legislature, and not with the friends
OF candidates.
What is the> duty Of the legislators
elect? We should say that it is their
first duty to carefully consider the state
in its relation to the nation, and re-
member that the senators are the
states representative in the federal
branch of the national legislature.
The next thing to be considered is
the true interests of the state, and how
they can be best promoted and served.
These things considered, then let the
matter Of selecting some one to serve
the state as its senator be taken under
adyisement. To do ali this viii require
that members of the legislature hold
themselves unpledged until they have
fully determined what qualifications
are absolutely essential in a candi
date, and then select the man who
possesses them in the largest degree.
Public intrests should be considered
before private ambitions. We believe

HARMONY MUST BE PRESERVED

Fer the sake of the silver cause, the
Democrats of Utah should go to work
to restore harmony wherever it has
been lacking in the organization, to
unite Democracy where there have
been fractional disturbances.
The feeling of resentment will
naturally be strong in some localities
against members of the party who, for
local or personal reasons, refused to
support the regular ticket and thus
gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
But there is nothing to be gained by
a continuance OF campaign differences,
while there may be danger Of making
permanent those who were only tenn
porary opponents with a real or i'm
aginary grievance.
The Democrats will control the next
legislature by a good majority. The
members elect should not allow their
personal feelings to eclipse the general
welfare of the party organization. They
should net encourage the growth Of
factions by starting a senatorial con-
test before they have a chance to get
together to consider the claims of all
the candidates. The majority is not
so great this time that the Demo-
cratic legislators viii be able to fight
it out in the joint session knowing that
a. Democrat will be elected anyhow, no
matter who is victorious.
At the coming session it will be
necessary to caucus for the good of
the party and al concerned; it viii be
advisable to discuss the respective
merits Of all the aspirants, and this
discussion should be fair and frank
and friendly, which is only possible
where all concerned are untrammeled
by personal ties or obligations.
Men may have their preferences, and
they are entitled to them without Ques-
ton, but they should not place them
selves, or allow themselves to be
placed in a position where their ability
to render an impartial judgment can
for a moment be questioned.
With every loyal Democrat the good
of the party, which is that of the people,
must come first: the ambitions of men
should be subordinated.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The probability is that the next con-
gress win be Republican. In some
respects it is infinitely better that the
president and congress should be in
harmony than that one or the other
branch of congress be under control of
the party in opposition to the admin
istratfon. 1t permits a party to carry
out its policies and make it RESPONSE
BILE for them; then the people know
where to place blame or praise.
If one branch of congress is in OPP
position to the administration it gives
the administration a chance to charge
the blame for its failure upon such
branch, and in a measure to fool the
people. In that case the party in OPP
position has to take the blame when
it is utterly powerless to carry out its
own policies.
On the other hand, where the party
in opposition to the administration is
in control of one or the other house
of congress it can prevent vicious
legislation, and acts as ascheck upon
the administration if it is inclined to
go TO extremes. 6IOI1pISu ny pdlIl-
otto motives, it is a safeguard, and a
most valuable one.
With a Republican congress to back
him up President Mckinley viii have
it in his power to shape the destinies
of the country at a most important
period of its history. Everyone sees
that the nation is on the brink of a
Rubicon so far as it's foreign policy is
concerned. Everything indicates that
the influence of the United States is
20 be projected into oriental politics,
and today the orient is the stage upon
which the game of European politics
is being played.
1t seems now that the nations des-
tiny, not merely it's affairs, is to be
shaped in large measure, very large
indeed, by a Republican administra-
ton, an administration that will have
a Republican congress behind it. May
that destiny be shaped wisely will be
the prayer of every American.

LOOKING FORWARD.

In politics the American people are
famous for letting the dead past bury
its dead; they are ever looking forward
and not backward; it is the only way a
progressive people can look.
Tuesday there was an election in al
most every state in the Union; and al
ready the people are figuring on what
its effect and influence on the campaign
of 1900 will be.
Two years hence the people of Utah
Will elect a governor and state officers.
Already the people are asking whether
the result then viii be the same as it
was on Tuesday last. Already both par
ties are saying that if there are any
discussions in their ranks they must be
healed and that everything must be
done to make the party one, that solid
and united front must be presented to
the opposing party. All this is said in
view of the future.
AS it is in state politics so is it in ma
tional politics. The Republicans have
carried New York, and already people
are wondering whether that fact will
not make Governor-elect Roosevelt the
presidential candidate of the Republi-
can party in 1900. Whether it does or
not, it serves to show how Americans
are always considering the. result of an
election as it affects future one.
In other countries where there is the
parliamentary form of government,
elections are not looked upon in this
light to anything like the extent they
are in this country. One reason for this
is, no doubt, that parliamentary cleo
tons occur at longer intervals than do
congressional ones, and the further fact
that a European deliberative assembly
may, at any time, be dissolved on a vote
adverse to the ministry, ana a new cleo
ton ordered. The consequence is that
elections in European countries are
considered more in the light of their inn
mediate effect on pending policies than
as to their effect on future elections.
Had we ministerial government in this
country, perhaps it would be different
here.

THuRsToN ON THE ELECTION.


Senator Thurston, in commenting on
the results of Tuesdays election, says
that the battle was fought on the
straight gold standard platform, and
the result, in his opinion, absolutely
eliminates free. silver as national is
sue in 1907
The Republican party everywhere
throughout the country, with the ex-
ception of one or two states, did make
the fight on the gold platform. The
consequence is that its majority in the
lower house of the next congress is
reduced very much
Senator Thurstop says that free sill
yer as a national issue in 1900 is abse-
lutely eliminated. Here is a case where
the wish is certainly the father TO the
thought The value and significance
of what is said lies in the indication it
gives Of what the position of the Re
publican party will be on the money
question two years hence. 1t will be
more pronouncedly anti-silver than it
was in 1885,
But it takes two to eliminate an is
sue from politics, and the Democrats
will make silver the great issue in
the next presidential campaign.
In the interim it will surely be the
aim and object of the Republican party
to enact legislation for the purpose of
strengthening the existing gold stand
ard. If congress is Republican this
will undoubtedly be done.
How the people of Utah must con-
graduate themselves to think they did
not permit their state to be swung into
the gold column under false pretenses.
Post election statements by Republican
leaders of national prominence only
add testimony to what The Herald con-
stantly asserted during the campaign
that the Republican party is the gold
party.

THE WILMINGTON IN. c. RIOT.

For some time before election it was
feared there would be riot and blood
shed at Wilmington. N. c.. but Tuesday
passed off without these fears being
realized. The cause for this fear was
the determination of the whites to pre-
vent the election of negro set of
officers, there being no pretense that
the negro voters were not in the ma
5ority. 1t was a race question, pure
and simple, and nothing else.
The trouble anticipated Tuesday
came yesterday, the proximate cause
being an editorial that appeared in the
negro paper, and which is alleged to
have been derogatory to white wo-
men. What the language of the edi-
torial was or in what particular or re-
spect it was derogatory to white wo-
men, the press dispatches do not state.
Under the circumstances and consider
ing how intense and bitter the feeling
between whites and blacks is, anything
said i'll a negro paper about white wo-
men that was not most respectful be-
yond the possibility of cavil would
serve to cause an explosion in such
highly infiammable material,
The office of the paper containing the
editorial has been destroyed, the editor
has fled and half a score of people,
mostly negroes, have been killed.
Whether there will be more killings re-
mains to be seen. Unquestionably the
negroes will regard Manley as a sec
ond Lovejoy, but thus far he has es-
capped Lovejoy's fate.
1t is q serious situation at Whining
ton. 1t forces the race question to the
front once more. 1t is one that will
have to be solved, but how no one can
say. Education, mental and manual,
will not solve it, for the more the in
telligence and capacity of the negroes
are developed the more they will insist
on their civil and political rights. The
negro problem is a race question, and
not an educational one. 1t will give rise
to difficulties in the future, but how
they will be settled only the future can
determine.

CASE OF THE COLON.

The Chicago Times-Herald urges that
the Cristobal Colon be raised 1t very
truthfully says that she was one of
the finest vessels in the Spanish navy,
being launched in 1896 and classed as
battleship. The chief argument
urged in behalf of this is that there
could be no better memorial of the
greatest naval engagement of modern
times than the rejuvenated Cristobal
Colon; that the name, the affectionate
regard in which she was held by Span
iards, her rank in SPANS navy, her
gallant race for liberty, would all make
her an object of historic interest. 1t is
further urged that las we are soon to
come into possession of the Spanish
West Indies, which Columbus added
to the Spanish domain, the association
of vessel named for the discoverer
of America, with the transfer of the
islands to distinctively American ma
ton, would be more appropriate" The
Times Herald closes it's article by say
ing the vessel should be saved and re-
paired, no matter what the cost
This argument is all based on senti-
ment, a most powerful and important
factor in human affairs, even when
those affairs concern a government.
Patriotism itself is to large extent
thing of sentiment, but sentiment,
when it degenerates into pure sentiment
tally, should be guarded against. Our
Chicago contemporary has become SEN
timental.
Gould the Cristobal Colon be raised
at any reasonable expense, it should be
done, but it would be folly to raise her
at any expense" To raise and re-
pair her might cost more than it would
to build a new battleship. The good
horse sense of the American people
would protest against paying too high
d price for saving the Colon. AS
trophy, she would be a splendid addi-
ton to the navy, but a new battleship,
built at some American yard, would be
better still.
Sentiment is a good thing, but it
shouldn't be INDUCED in at too great a
cost

UTAH DEMOCRACY.

The Democratic party of Utah is in
splendid shape for the coming strug-
gle. In 1900 the silver question will
be paramount again, and it will con-
tinue to lead until the provisions of
the Chicago platform are carried out
and the withdrawing masses
rescued from merciless grasp of the
Notwithstanding classes.
In two years from now there will be
another appeal to the people of this
republic to save themselves from the
money sharks OF the wealth-centers.
Utah will be expected to do her duty,
and, with the great majority of the
people favorable to free coinage, the
state is reasonably sure to be Demo-
cratic and to elect Democratic state
officers in 1900
The sl1irnish preparatory to the
great battle was perfectly satisfactory.
The line between the parties was
strictly drawn and the fighting
strength of each was tested. In a
total vote of $4,000, a plurality of 5000
is a first-class showing for Utah DEM
ocracy.

Wells was very solicitous about the
business interests of the state. He de-
plored an agitation to which he added
the dignity of lis position, and i'm
