Artistic materials now obtainable for win
dow draperies have an economy apart from
the cheapness of their first cost. They can
be easily laundered, a rule, at home, a
thing to be desired in household that Is
economically managed. The convenient
fashion, too. OF shirring such curtains on
a pole rather than attaching them to rings,
reduces the labor of laundering to a mini
mum.

certain man, and that apparently the
principle cut no figure. Under the
circumstances the Democrats very pro-
perly refused to entertain the PROPOSE
lion. The Democratic party IS the
real bimetalllc party, and no one
favoring hlmetallism can consistently
refuse to subscribe to and support the
Chicago platform. In a great cause
personality is nothing, but principles
everything. 1t therefore seems TO us
that all bimetallists in the coming
election should support that principle
irrespective of the individuals who
may be candidates The only bimetal-
lie party is the Democratic party and
therefore the only success for the prin-
ciple of bimetallsm is the success Of
that party. A union of all bimetallists
to the support OF the platform of that
party Is the only true fusion, and is a
fusion TO which all advocates of that
principle should readily agree.

THE UTAH COUNTY DEMOCRAT is the
name of a new exchange that comes to
our table. 1t is published at Provo, and
will appear every Wednesday and Sat
urday: the editor is Mr.. Fred Nelson.
The new journal will be Democratic In
politics, but will be fair. A chief aim
will be to build up Utah county. There
Is room for such u paper in Provo, and
il should meet with success. The typo
graphical appearance Is exceedingly
neat. The UTAH COUNTY DEMOCRAT
has our best wishes for its success. -

elected silver men this year who will
be silver men In 1900, regardless Of all

No one desires to disparage the work
done by the Tribune In favor OF silver;
we least Of all, but we certainly think
that the present attitude of that jour
pal Is not upholding Its past record.
There is but Que national silver party.
and that Is the Democratic party, and
yet the Tribune oserlooks no oppor-
tunity To attempt TO discredit that
party and its candidates. 1t may be
true that some people who are mol

are not the rule. The National Demo

PLANS ARE UNCHANGED
Troops to Be Sent to Cuba as
Previously Arranged.
SELECTING THE CAMPS
Many Dificuit Problems TO BE Solved.
The Troops Must Be Iso ated in
Their Camps-Lee VIII Lea
the First Expedition.

Washington, Oct. 17.-It is said at the
war department that nothing has oc-
Cured to change the plans already
framed for the movement Of troops 10
Cuba. II was not intended that the oc-
cupation Of the island should begin i'm
mediateIy, except at such towns as
Manzanillo and perhaps Holgiun.
where immune regiments may be used
TO advantage.
Colonel Heckers' Investigation into
the situation has been Of great value TO
the department. His primary object
was to locate camps for the occupation
of troops, and he is proceeding in exact
accord with his instructions. The con-
ditions that he found. II is said, thor
oughly warrant the belief that the war
department will be obliged to face the
most difficult problems that have yet
arisen in Connection with the handing
of troops in order to insure the protec-
ton OF the health of the soldiers. IL
has become evident that the men must
be isolated for some time In their camps
to avoid the danger OF Infection.
While the wet season has now almost
reached its end in Cuba, IL is said that
yellow fever Is more prevalent n
more dangerous in type just now than
at any other time during the year.
These conditions. however. will not con-
tinue long, and II Ia believed that be-
fore November has progressed far II
will be possible to have several divis-
ions of troops safely camped on Cuban
soil. A proposition that is now under
consideration hooks to the employment
OF the Cubans as local gendarmes, IL
being urged hat they would be more
serviceable in maintaining order In
towns than American soldiers unac-
quainted with the Spanish language
and Cuban customs.
The United States government In this
way also would be able, by the pay
ment of small salaries to these men. to
considerably relieve the distress that
exists on the island without breeding a
class of professional paupers or lower
ing the pride Of the Cubans
Unless General Lee specifically asks
to be relieved from that duty. he Is to
command the first expedition.
