1T CANNOT HIDE.

If the Democratic platform of 1900
does not any more mention silver than
did their platform of 1892" says our
morning contemporary, after the man
ner of Touchstone again; whereupon
it rails against the Democrats of Utah
for things it pictures them out as
doing in 1900
Against its own conduct it places the
suppositious action of others for com
parison, as plea in justification. IF
the Democratic platform of 1900" fail
to mention silver, our morning con-
temporary will be able to look back
and justify its return to the Re-
publican fold. 1t is unwilling, ap-
parently, to wait and see whether its
prophesies prove true. and prefers to
fight the Democratic party right now.
There are several matters connected
with the Republican party in Utah
that require no if in stating them.
They are facts, not falsehoods; condf-
tons. not suggestions.
The Republican organization of this
state is in the hands of Mckinley men.
The state chairman supported the st.
Louis ticket and platform. The county
chairman in Salt Lake county is an
appointee and supporter of McKin-
ley. So is the secretary. They are
all Mckinley men. There is no .if''
about these things
Our contemporary is calling upon
Republicans to get together and into
the organization presided over and
controlled by these men. 1t recognizes
as silver men" those who supported
the st. Louis nominees as we'll as those
who supported the Chicago ticket. And
these. too, are facts, not suggestions.
Our contemporary cannot hide be-
hind creature of its fertile magma
ton. The bulk of its anatomy is still
visible.

"oUR FRIENDS, TIE LETTERS. y

Certain it is that neither Mr.. Levi
Letter nor his son is asking aid or
charity from the public, and probably
neither one desires it. This does not
seem TO be the idea of a Kansas far
mer, who has evolved a scheme to re-
coup Mr.. Joseph Letter for his losses
incurred in his famous wheat deal.
This Kansas farmer has explained his
scheme in full. MIR. Letter, the ED
er, he says. lis selling valuable Chi
cago property and mortgaging more to
raise millions of dollars to meet losses
incurred by his son in his efforts to
keep up the price of wheat during the
past crop year. I notice also that he
had TO give up one charitable enter
prise that had been costing him about
A,OO0 per month to maintain. BY the
operation of making very dear wheat
in foreign countries it stimulated a
demand for a cheaper breadstuff. We
had during the high price of wheat
during the past year an immense
amount of corn. The export of corn
in consequence of high-priced wheat
exceeded anything ever known from
this country. 1t taught the Europeans
more about corn as a good, wholesome
food than all the expensive commits
slons ever sent abroad with cooking
kitchens attached for that same pur-
pose, and if wheat had run as low last
year as the few years preceding corn
in Kansas would not have been worth
over loo per bushel In view, then.
Of the great gain farmers have re-
ceived from the Letters in their eff
forts to sustain our grain prices and
open up the worlds markets more fully
than was ever done before for our 9th
err great staple, corn, it would be most
fitting to show our friends, the Lei
tiers, our appreciation and good Will
by free-will Offering so substantial
as would help repay their fortunes and
at the same time not be felt by the
donors. Now that our bins of old

NO HEDGING WANTED.

Not all the Republican papers in the
state are trying to make the people of
Utah believe that the Republican party
is the great friend and champion of
the free coinage of silver. The Provo
Enquirer says:
What is the use of hedging on the
silver question? 1t is very well under
stood that the free and independent
coinage Of silver would only result in
this country, as it has resulted in
every country where it has been tried,
in a deprecated silver currency, and
that we do not want. Let us stand
for bimetallism, which can alone be
obtained with the help of other lead
ing commercial nations of the globe.
We want no Chinese system of finance
in this country, nor Mexican money to
pass current.
What is the use of trying to hedge
on the silver question? None in the
world. The Republican party is dead
set against free silver, and all having
any acquaintance with the question
know this. The party may toy with
the international aspect of the ques-
ton, but it is only toying. What hope
of international bimetallism did Sen
ator Wolcott and his confreres bring
back? Not one.
Our Provo contemporary puts the
case as it is. The Republicans be-
lieve that free silver would reduce our
currency system to a Chinese or
Mexican level, in fact have no faith
whatever in the intrinsic merits of the
silver question, while Democrats have
believe that the adoption of a free,
independent and unlimited coinage of
silver policy would Immediately
place silver on a par with gold at the
ratio of 16 to l.
What is the use of hedging on the
silver question:"

suitable bank 10 the credit of Mr..
Letter, the elder. Let us try it,
For Kansas farmer to term the
Letters ..our friends" is exceedingly
humorous. That whole wheat deal was
gotten UP especially for the benefit of
the farmers and young Letter never
once had a thought of self in the mat
ter. OF course he would not think of
taking the bear side of the wheat ques-
ton; that would be immoral and
against the farmers.

CONCERNING AN 1IMPLIED
CONTRACT

| when Chairman Jones reminded the
party in Utah what good faith pointed
out to them, when Senator White did
the same thing. the chiefs rejected the
counsel and The Herald treated the eff
forts of both men as imoertineace.
says the Tribune.
On various occasions of late our con-
temporary has had much to say about
the Democratic party keeping faith and
fulfilling contracts. The Democratic
party always keeps faith, always full
fills contracts, implied or express. 1t
isn't necessary for Chairman Jones or
Senator White to point out to the Dem
ocrats of Utah what good faith re-
ouires ot them.
We are fairly conversant with the
deings of the Democratic party of Utah.
and we know of no contract into which
it has entered. and we do not believe
that Chairman Jones or Senator White
can point to any contract entered iato
by the Democratic party of Utah. 1t is
Perfectly we'll understood that Chair
man Jones and Senator White entered
into an arrangement for a fusion of
lilC OGuiOSldl Win Int S4ANNl INSpaH-
licans and Populists. but that was their
contract and not the contract of the
Democratic party of Utah; if they can
not deliver the goods. and they are now
finding out that they cannot, they are
in a hole but it must be remembered
that it is a hole of their own digging,
and the Democrats of Utah are under
ol.Ii loo crat
into the hole that Chairman Jones and
Senator White may crawl out over their
shoulders. These gentlemen had just
as much authority 20 enter into an
implied contract for fusion with the
Republicans who endorse the st. Louis
platform as with the parties they did
enter into an arrangement And such
an implied contract would have been
just as binding on the Democrats Of
Utah as the one into which they did
enter. The authority of these gentle
men is delegated and limited, and it
in no wise empowers them to enter into
implied contracts" the object of which
is the effacement of the Democratic
party and the exaltation of an incon-
gruous aggregation that does not have
enough identity and dignity to warrant
it in assuming a distinctive political
name
The error of Chairman Joness and
Senator White made when they entered |
into the fusion arrangement was, so |

CALL HOPE is FUTILE

Republican leaders in the east used
to beguile their. followers in the west
with visions of international bimetal-
lism. Finally they owned up that it
was nothing but fairy tale told to
keep the children good"
Many friends of silver were induced
to support Mckinley in the belief that
an international agreement was pos
sibility and that the administration
would be able to bring it about. Com
missioners were appointed, as required
by a law passed and approved in Cleve-
lands administration, but nothing
came of their trip abroad except the
ridicule of foreign papers.
That '1ridescent dream" as an ad
ministration organ calls it, is about
to be ended. The pretense is to be
abandoned if Chairman Hanna is an
authority ON Republican policy, and he
ought to be. "An hope of an interna-
tional agreement on bimetallism is flu
tile
The national league of Republican
clubs, which recently met in Omaha,
adopted a resolution along the same
line. Free coinage of silver was con-
demned, single gold standard approx
ed, and the international joke ignored.
This Will give the Democrats a fair
fight with Republicans on the money
question, something that wasn't alto
gether possible, while many bimetal-
lists were being misled as to the real
position of the Republican organiza-
ton.
Nothing could help the Democrats
more than this will help them. And
it is certain the goldites decided to
come out into the open only when they
found they were no longer able to keep
up the delusion.

Doubted the Title

The late Sir Augustus Harris, who for
such a long period presided over the for
tunes of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

iday in the north of England, says the
Newcastle (England) Weekly Chronicle.
AS no was staying some distance out in
the country. ne gave directions for cab
man to be engaged to drive him to the
railway station. On one side of the port
manteau. which was placed near the dri-
ver's seat, was clearly printed: Angus
tus Harris. T. r. D. l. The letters APP
pended to the name, of course. signified
Theatre Royal Drury Lane. but they baf-
fed cabby. Notwithstanding the fact that
he pondered them throughout the journey
wondering all the whGe what they could
mean. He soon decided. however, that
they were at least good enough for n
handsome tip and he therefore showed
every politeness to his distinguished fare.
On reaching their destination, Sir Angus
tuS handed the Jehu a sum which might
undoubtedly have been considered quite
sufficient for such service as had been rem
dered. But the cabby's hopes. were rudeiy
dispelIed. and so he held the money for
a moment in his open hand and coolly
scanned the giver from head 10 foot. Then
scornfully came the words: You are

Now it is announced that the tor
pedo boat Farragut, built at San
Francisco, viii make 80 knots. This is
not unlikely. Every shipt built at San
francisco has been the best of its
class in the navy. The Charleston is
the best of the old cruisers. the San
Francisco is the best Of the new, the
Olympia the best fighting cruiser in
the navy. the Monterey the best of the
monitors and the Oregon the best bat
tleship of the navy. This is rather
interesting. says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. That is all true.
And then to think that all these fine
vessels, the best in our navy, were
built in the west, where the states are
undesirable.
