THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTE.

After canvassing the situation care
fully and repeatedly. the Republican
organ has found IS Democrats who
claim to oppose B. H. Roberts on the
main ground assigned by leading Re
publicans for their opposition.
But it would require several pages of
our contemporary to print a list OF
active Republicans who expect to sup
port Mr. Roberts because they know
he is an able and firm advocate Of BIZ
metallism, which the Republican can
didate is not.
However, this would not appeal to
all of the gentlemen it has interviewed.
The Mormon issue" is paramountlwith
some and free coinage is particularly
distasteeul TO others.
They are all entitled to their opinions
and The Herald has no objection to
offer to their free expression. 1t may
ever counseled insincerity, encouraged
the political activity of the class cr1ti-
cised, or condoned the matters of which
they complain. The head of the fight
on Roberts has been guilty of all these
inconsistencies.
The list printed by the Republican
organ contains these names:
a. T. Schroeder, II. ]. Dininny, P. ].
DAILY. Judge Judd. Judge Anderson, P.
L. Williams, J. A. Williams, Eugene
Lewis. A. C. Campbell ct al.
AS the same objections are said to
apply to every ticket in the field, it is
feared that the stay home vote Will
number at least is this fall

INTERMITTENT INDIGNATION.

The chief feature of the fight against
Mr. Roberts candidacy is the incon-
sistency of it.
Men who have supported nominees 10
whom the same criticism was appIica-
BILE have suddenly become shocked.
The organ that advocates the election
of the Republican ticket in this county
pretends to be Mortified at the bare sug-
gestion of a polygamist running for
Office.
Men who worked for the election of
Hon. John Henry Smith to be president
of the constitutional convention are
bowling about polygamy today.
A newspaper that opposed polyga-
mist in 1895 solely because he was a
Democrat, opposes the same Demo
crat this year because he is a pelyga-
mist.
These intermittent moral spasms are
very irregular.

the ante-election pledges which have
been unavoidably delayed by the silver
majority in the senate"
Still the cry is currency reform and
the need of legislation to effect it And
that which has retarded this currency
reform, and delayed the work of re-
deening Republican ante-eiection
pledges has been the silver majority in
the senate. If the people of Utah elect
a Republican legislature that silver
majority will be reduced, and the great
work OF currency reform, the work OF
strengthening the gold standard, Will
be facilitated because a Republican leg
islature viii elect a senator who would
vote for currency reform" which is
dramatically opposed to every interest
of silver.
And the Republicans in Utah have
the effrentery to say that the silver
question is not an issue in the present
campaign. 1t is the one great over
shadowing issue.

WHAT FOSTER HAS LEARNED.

When every goldbug organ in the
steps, when their batteries of abuse
were trained upon him after his enlist
ment as a volunteer from Nebraska,
the motive behind the fight was pretty
well understood.
Some of the organs were inspired by
hatred of silver; others by a chronic
contempt for everything popular; and
others were not losing anything by
their work.
Hanna attended to that. He wanted
Bryan killed off.
All through the months of June, July
and August Bryan was assailed. The
indignation Of every friend of silver
was aroused.
On the 26th of August, 1898, less than
two months ago. Warren Foster, Pop
ulist candidate for congress, in the
columns of his paper, Living Issues,
of that date, said:
Among other things that we have
learned is that VI. j. Bryan is not
the sort OF a man we had believed
him to be. Instead of being a pro-
gressive thinker and statesman as we
had supposed, he has proven himself
to be the very cheapest kind of
cheap politician; a man who, if he
tells the truth, is almost as igno-
rant on the issues of the day, as a
pig; a man who, instead of being a
brave champion Of principles, is an
inveterate coward, whose only aim is
to be president of the United States;

SOME MILITARY BUDGETS.

The August summary of the COM
meree and finance of the United States
gives a most interesting table, showing
what the war budgets, and the amount
per capita, of the various European and
n-European countries are Russia S
budget is the largest of all, being Sl4S,-
$40, 19l, the per capita amount being
$1.17. Then comes Germany with bud
get of $141, Us, $50, the per capita amount
being S2.70. Frances budget is S123,-
517,6 the per capita being S2.21 All
these are the budgets for 1898. Eng
lands for 1897 (the budget for '9S is not
given) is SIS, 152, $50, the per capita be-
ing 1921, the largest of any. Only two
other countries exceed two dollars per
capita; they are Austria, with S2.0S, and
Spain. with $2.12.
OF the non-European countries, the
per capita of three only exceeds one
dollar They are Argentina, Sl.2S;
Chile, SIP and Egypt, SL49-

capita is China, with 3 cents; next
comes Korea, with cents.

Our war budget is not very large, but
our pension payments are the heaviest
of any country. 1t is now about what
Germanys total war budget is, but in
1898 it surpassed that country's present
budget by some $15,OOO.000. (The exact
figures for that year were S156, 74O,-
