MR.. ELDREDGE'S FEALTY.

When the Republicans of Utah met
and nominated Alma Eldredge as their
congressional candidate they renewed
their "fealty TO the Republican party"
Alma Eldredge has declared his alleg-
lance to the regular Republican organ
ization. That organization is pledged
to the single gold standard.
MIR. Eldredge says he is a silver man.
His organ pledges him lin advance"
to vote for a free coinage bill. Still, he
has renewed his fealty to the ReDub-
lican party, and his organ says the Re
publican party is "a party of goldbugs.
bond-buyers, money-lenders and mo-
noDolists.'
Mr.. Eldredge voted for Mckinley and
Hobart Mr.. Roberts voted for Bryan
and Sewall The Republican organ
supported Bryan and Sewall on the
ground that mo self-respecting silver
man could afford to be identified with
the Republican party after its action at
st. Louis"
But tie organ says now that Mr..
Eldredge is as good a silver man as is
Mr.. Roberts The organ has not
changed hands. 1t is playing another
tune.

STOP THE INVESTIGATION.

The investigation of the board of in
quiry into the conduct of the war
should be stopped forthwith. That
board is already under the ban of sus-
picion, and the suspicion grows deeper
and deeper each day. Why? Because
the investigation is being held behind
closed doors. and only such reports OF
the proceedings are made public as the
board deems advisable.
If there is anything the American
people like when an investigation into
public affairs and their conduct is be-
ing made, it is publicity and openness,
while they despise and condemn all
secrecy in such matters. No matter
how thorough and honest the investiga-
ton. no matter whether its results eX-
culpate or inculpate the war depart
ment, the people will give little heed
and less respect to them, for the rea-
son that the whole thing was done be-
hind closed doors, and it is impossible
to justify closed doors to them. They
prefer to pass upon all the evidence
presented, and to form their own con-
illusions. If important evidence is
withheld from them they will resent it,
while if the evidence withheld is said
to be unimportant, they will declare it
childish to withhold it.
No matter what may be the result
of the board of inquiry's investigation
it has not been open "a courtmartial
would have been), and it is almost in
eVitable that there will be one ordered
by congress. In any event, the present
one should be stopped, for the manner
of conducting it destroys its useful
ness, whatever that might other
wise be-

JOBS AND MEN.

At Creston, Ia, President Mckinley
said he did not know period in our
history when the country enjoyed more
prosperity than it does today. THE job
hunts the man now, and not the man
the job
1t would be pleasant to think that the
president had not exaggerated, that all
was as he stated, but it is not. Where
is it that the job seeks the man? 1t
must be in that perfect land where the
office seeks the man. In the far west
jobs are not hunting the men, and when
men go hunting jobs they hunt and
hunt and return empty handed each
night.
On his journey to Omaha the presi-
dent met with nothing but ovations and
saw only the bright side, and we are
glad it was so, but there was another
side to the picture and that he did not
see, yet it exists. Undoubtedly things
have been worse, but more assuredly
they have been better than they are
now. The reports from the great com
mercial and industrial centers are a
contradiction of the presidents state
ment.
We cannot but think that there was
bit of campaign buncombe about the
presidents remarks and that they were
intended to aid his political friends at
the polls in November.

REPUBLICANS AND SILVER.

Some of the arguments urged by Re-
publicans to prove that the Republican
party is the true and devoted friend OF
silver are truly amusing. With a most
charming nonchalance they brush aside
the Darty's record on silver, pooh
pooh such objections as the gold plank
of the st. Louis platform, and. With
an air thatis intended to crush all OPP
position and silence every objection,
they tell you that more silver has been
coined since Mckinley was inaugurated
than was coined all during Clevelands
administration. The statement is not
true in the first place. as treasury
financial tables show. but if it were 1t
would not have the least significance
in the world
When President Mckinley was in
Quoted into office there was s10l,Se2'4 oS
of silver bullion in the treasury Ine
silver bullion in the treasury on Aus.
1, 1898, was SOC, IA. 237. The difference
represents the amount of silver bullion
that has been coined into dollars 30
far as aiding the silver mining indus
try is concerned, this coinage of nearly
$12,000.000 doesn't aid it in the least,
for the government merely changed the
form of its silver from bullion into dol
lars. it having possessed the silver all
the while. Since Mckinley went into
Office. March 4. 1897. the treasury de-
partment has not purchased single
ounce of silver.
For any Republican to claim hat the
coinage of a few hundred thousand
dollars worth of silver, which the gov
eminent already. owns, month Tin
July last the amount coined was $780,
0e0) is proof that the Republican party
is the friend and champion of the silver
cause, is either to display Grass ignor-
ance or brazen effrontery. The coinage
of the silver bullion now in the treas
ury vaults cuts no figure, so far as at
fecting the silver question is concerned,
one way or the other.

The Tribune is perfectly certain that
if Nj. Roberts is elected the house of
representatives viii refuse to seat him.
Surprising it did, it wouldn't be the

would be elected we. should feel much
comforted if we were certain he would

COMMENTS BY THE PRESS.

Louisville Courer-Journal: Our navy
is the pride of every American. but. even
were it otherwise, any delinquency on
the part of the navy would not justify
neglect and mismanagement in the war
department. General Ayers strategy in
his own self-defense may be ingenious in
some respects. but when he attacks the
navy he makes great mistake. There
is nothing that will satisfy the American
people until General Alger becomes ex-
secretary of war.
New York Journal: The Importation of
Grover Cleveland and the kind of Demo-
cracy he stands for into the New York
campaign can be welcomed only by Re-
publicans. That kind of Democracy is as
dead as Clevelands prospect of reinstate-
ment in the party's respect and conf
dence.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Somebody
wants national holiday appointed to
commemorate our victory over the Span
iards. 1t does seem as If a half-holiday
would do. We may have more wars, you
know.
Boston Herald: Brother Wanamaker
makes rather effective rejoinder to
Senator Penrose's charge that he wanted
TO be United States senator from Penn
sylvania so badly that he offered to pay
700 for it. Brother Wanamaker says
Ii was offered to him for less than half
that amount of money, but he didn't
want it on that sort of terms.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-15

Delegate Roberts of Davis: Mr..
President. 1 am in favor of adopt
ing the amendment offered by the
gentleman from Salt Lake. think,
sir. that it should prevail. First
and principally, that it may appear
without any equivocation whatsoever,
that in absolute good faith, the people
of Utah intend to carry out the condi-
ton upon which statehood is TO be
granted to the territory, for congress
did require, by its enabling act, an eX-
press stipulation upon this subject, and
1 believe it's intention was to have
declaration that would be effective and
not merely an empty assertion, and
think a provision of this character is
absolutely necessary to the document
we are drafting in order to establish,
beyond all question, the fact that we
intend to carry out to the letter our
agreement, as expressed in the COM
pact with the United States; but, sir,
do not think that this amendment
should be adopted by this convention
in the spirit in which it was discussed
by the gentleman from Salt Lake this
morning (Mr. Goodwin). One of the
reasons urged for having a steno-
graphic report of these debates, as L
understand it, was fer the purpose of
assisting those who will interpret the
constitution, in understanding what the
intent of the convention that framed
the constitution was; and, sir, if we
adopt this amendment in the spirit in
which that gentleman discussed 1T,
those who shall interpret the consti-
tuition in the light of what was said
upon the various propositions, would be
led to conclude that this amendment
was not adopted by the convention with
any real intention to have it put in
force, but merely for the purpose of
removing from the eyes of the president
of the United States, who is to pass
upon this instrument, and his counsel
ors, and to silence any opposition that
might be raised against it on the part
of sectarian peoples Throughout the
United States, and that it was not
real bona fde determination on the
part of this constitutional convention
TO carry out that provision with good
intent
Now, sir, I scorn all such proceed
ings as that. 1 believe that what we
do here, we do with real intent of
heart and without nonsense, and for
that reason, and in this spirit, we
should adopt this amendment, and
then have it carried out just as it is
intended to carry it out. / hope, sir,
that these remarks and the remarks
that other gentlemen have made and
doubtless viii make upon this provis-
ion Of the constitution, will have the
effect of removing from the proceed
ings of this convention this seeming in
sincerity, which ought not to exist in a
convention Of this character Why, sir,
we would give little credit to the intel
llSence Of the man who is to pass upon
this instrument, before our labors shall
be finally completed, in bringing Utah
into the Union, if we suppose that he
could not see through this fiimsy screen
that it is proposed to cast over our
conduct here, if we let this provision
go in under the spirit Of that discus
sion; and, sir, 1 hold that we ought to
adopt it in a spirit of earnestness and
with honest intention to make it eff
fectual.

Mr. Varian Gn order to show still
more conclusively the intent and scope
OF the amendment, these further re-
marks of its author are given):
II you want the other kindred Of
lenses, my answer is, prohibit them by
law under penalties. Your legislature
that meets in March next must enact
a law. | do not enter upon that sub
Ject, because l am not meeting that
issue l am simply meeting the issue
which is rendered here, as l think. to
carry out in spirit the act of congress
and the will of the people of the Unit
ed States, so that no stumbling block
may be thrown in the way of this on
ward march toward statehood; and I
agree with my friends from Davis (Mr
Roberts)-I do not put it upon the
grounds that were stated here this
morning (by Mr.. Goodwin); l do not
like sneak. 1 would not desire any
thing to be done that was not done in
good faith, but L believe that this peo-
pie intend this in good faith, and there
fore 1 believe that they will ratify this
action here today.
