TIE HERALD AND MR.. CLEvE-
LAND.

Times have changed when the Sill
ver-DelEocratic Salt Lake Herald asks
| its readers to heed the words" of ex-
President Cleveland, as the words OF
"a patriot which point out the coun-
try's true policy. New York Evening
Post.
Not at all. The Herald's dislike is
for Mr.. Cleveland's policy and not for
him individually. In all the criticisms
by us of his administration and its
policy it was the chief executive who
was criticised and not the man.
The Herald did and does endorse
Mr.. Cleveland's Lawrenceville address,
and it still holds that he pointed out
the country's true policy. What he
said was along the same lines as was
the speech made by Mr.. Bryan at the
Omaha exposition. The Post endorsed
what Mr.. Bryan said, but still we do
not think times have changed so
greatly because it did endorse them.
The Herald's opinion of Mr.. Cleve-
land is precisely the same as it was.
1t has always thought him a strong
character, one that has left an in
delible mark upon the history of the
country. It thinks his financial policy
was as pernicious as could be and in
the interests of the capitalistic classes
rather than in those of the people 1t
has never had but one opinion of his
bond issues, and particularly the first
two, which We're negotiated by syndi-
Gates that were permitted to rob the
government of millions
The Herald has always thought and
will always think that in his address
before that board of home missions
Mr.. Cleveland went out of his way to
insult the people of the western states
when he spoke of the undesirable
states and that he took the occasion
to insult them because they did not
choose to accept his financial theories.
The Herald has not changed it's
opinion Of Mr.. Cleveland in the least.
But as it has recognized his faults and
has never hesitated to criticise and
denounce them, SO it recognizes his
merits and will freely commend
them. What he said at Lawrenceville
was truly patriotic and it was uttered
at time when such a warning was
needed. The Herald is glad he uttered
that warning and it regrets that by
his course, which alienated the Demo-
cratic party from him, he has lost his
once great influence so that his words
will not carry that weight they other
wise would. He himself destroyed it.

quaint compliment paid to the German
crown prince, afterward Emperor Frede-
rick:
After the battles of Weissenburg and
Worth, which he had won, the crown
prince was sauntering alone one evening
past barn occupied by a party of Wur-
temberg troops. Hearing something like
stump oratory going on, the prince
opened the door and looked in Every
one rose.

same. said the prince. Pray, who was
making a speech?"
All eyes were turned on a sergeant,
whose very intelligent countenance
looked. however. sorely puzzled when the
commanoer-in-chief asked:
And what Were you talking about?
Quickly recovering his presence of mind,
the sergeant confessed:

An Implied Compliment.

never to meet him again.

The Spanish soldiers at Santiago
fought as bravely and determinedly
as ever Spanish soldiers fought. They
have proven themselves worthy de-
scendants of those who drove the
Moors from Spain; of those who con-
quered a new world; of those who
fought under Charles V; of those who
fought under Wellington. If bravery
and devotion can save honor, then
SPANS honor has been saved. But af-
ter Manila and Santiago, will Spain
persist in prolonging a struggle that
is as absolutely hopeless as was ever
struggle i'll this world. Undoubtedly,
Havana can make a mighty resistance,
one that will involve u tremendous
sacrifice of life; but Havana is doomed.
Spain has been appealing to the
powers at divers times for two months
past, but her appeals have been I'M
needed. If among the powers she has
one friend, that power will this day
tell her that the time has arrived
when she should ask the United States
what terms of peace they will accept,
anu lIlcH lncll llC eiNlN
for peace must come from SPAIN they
can and never will come from America.
Spain's resources are exhausted; the
United States are but beginning to
call theirs forth. Spains force is
spent; the United States has scarcely
begun to gather momentum. Is the
Madrid government so infatuated that
it will still refuse to see the inevitable
fate that is hanging over Spain? In
this war, the future holds no hope for
Spain, nothing but defeat and eventual
destruction if she persists in carrying
il on.

standing army but unanimous people,

Kansas City Times: No nation on earth
could present an army of anything ike
equal numbers that could at all cope with
the army which has landed in Cuba under
the command of General Shafter. Troops
fresh from the garrisons of Europe would
sicken and die under the hardshps which
are as nothing to the American regular
who has spent years under the blazing
sun OF the Arizona desert. The soldiers
of no other nation would be able TO go
into the brush after the Spanish guerll-
las as the American soldiers Will VINO
have learned the art of woodc-aft from
the Indians. No troops could fight better
in the open Than these men will fight.
Indianapolis Sentinel: Our wabbly con-
temporary, the New York Sun, advances
the startling proposition that free silver
man in the volunteer army is patriot
Just as much as a gold man: Think OF It;
patriot? A ..lunatic'i a natr3ot? Pre-
posterous. And yet this champion OF cor
poration rule and tyice in general insists
that free silver man is all of these. In
addition to its other characteristics the
Sun manages TO shine from all points of
the compass at intervals.
Chicago lnter-Ocean (Rep0: 1t would be
unfair to insist that the Democrats of
any particular district or state can COM
NIT the party to a line of policy, or that
Cleveland or Bryan can do it: Even the
representatives of the party in congress

Baltimore Sun: II is striking coin

Democracy since the Civil war. are all on
record against such enterprises as the an
neXation of Hawaii and the Philippines.
Representatives of sound money Demo-
crazy and representatives of the silver
Democracy find a basis for united ac-
ton in saying no to the new departure in
American policy.
Denver Post: 1t will be somewhat of a
task for those organs of the administra-
ton who now advocate a war of con-
quest to do so in the face of the declara-
ton made before the commencement of
hostilities. Nowhere in that declaration
is there one word to be found which
a war of conquest. The declaration be-
gins and ends with Cuba. 1t calls atten-
ton TO the abhorent conditions which for
over 800 years in Cuba have shocked the
moral sense of our people, have been
disgrace TO civi, eaton and have Gull
minated in the destruction of the Maine
and the loss of 266 men on board that
ship. 1t then declares that Cuba ought to
be free and independent and if Spain will
not give up this land at once we will
make her do SO, and to that end the presi-
dent may use the whole army and navy
power of the United States. The resolu-
ton Goes not empower him to use this
power for any other purpose; it does not
say ore word abo-,t a war of CONQUEST;
it is for the liberation of Cuba alone and
for no other purpose.

Standard referring to an editorial in
opposition to conquest which it pub
lished Nay IS, 1898. But careful
search fails to reveal the hiding place
Of the reproduction. Well, it doesn't
matter The request was made on a
doubt of any very gracious compli-
ance. 1t is hardly probable that the
Standard will reprint at least on it's
editorial page and without comment,
the article referred to, and we don't
really blame it either. ..

An Ogden contemporary asks two
questions and pauses for The Herald
to reply. First: For what purpose
does The Herald want US to reproduce
our editorials?" Only one was asked
for, because the Standard garbled it
and accused others of so doing, and
in order to see how the Standard
would do it. The second question is:
Does it think our readers cannot read
and understand the English language?"
The inquiry of Standard subscriber
last week in regard to a. statement
in that paper and its meaning furnishes
the answer to the second query, The
personal reflections in the Ogden
journal require no answer.

The sympathy of the people of Utah
goes out to the friends and families
of all the brave men and officers who
have fallen before Santiago, but it
goes OUT more particularly to the
friends and families of the officers and
men of the Twenty fourth infantry
who fell before Santiago. They died
nobly in the cause of freedom, the
cause for which the men of '76 and
the men of 81 died.

AMERICAN BATTLESFIES o
THE FUTURE.
The Philadelphia Record says:

The Philadelphia Record says:
The only reason the expedition to
Santiago became necessary was be-
cause the armored cruisers of Admiral
Cervera had eluded our comparatively
slow moving battleships, and obtained
refuge in that naturally impregnable
harbOr. The military expedition to
Santiago will cost at least SIS, DOC. 900,
to say nothing of the lives that will be
lost. For the sum named we could
have built two armored cruisers for
each one in Admiral Cervera's squad
ron, swift enough 10 have run down the
Spanish ships and powerful enough to
have sunk them when found.
That is not very gracious. For which
the Santiago expedition cost probably
half dozen battleships and cruisers
superior to anything Cervera had could
have been built. For what the war will
cost the finest navy the world has ever
seen could be built. But that is not
the way to look at the war. Its orig
mai object was to liberate brave peo-
ton as the world ever saw. 1t will
cost this country in money more than
all of SPANS colonial possessions are
worth. But there are things, the value
of which cannot be measured in money.
and that TO count their cost that way
or to estimate their value by it is to
degrade them.
When the new navy is built it should
be the best the world has ever seen.
Let American battleships have the best
and strongest armor. the most powerful
guns and the greatest speed. When
other nations build navies let their
proudest boast, their highest aim be to
approach the excellence of the Ameri-
can navy. Let the ships of the Amer
lean navy of the future be greyhounds
Of the ocean, as well as bulldogs of the
