SONS OF THE PIONEERS.

They fiocked from the fens of Holland.
From British dales and downs,
From vine-hilled Rhineland valleys
And quaint old Norman towns;
Stout burger. sombre Roundhead,
Curled. careless cavalier,
All braYed the broad Atlantic
To seek refuge here;
For some had fled starvation
Or burst the shackles' ring,
And this had stabbed his rival
And these had slain their king;
And many passions urged them,
But ch!efest were three
The thirst for Life the greed for Land,
The love of Liberty.
But came they here for plumber
Or came they here TO pray.
They dared the knife and arrow,
And Winters bitter sway;
They cleared and built and planted
The crowded savage fed;
They slew the Brutes OF Hesse.
They drove the Men in Red.
They roved-two oceans limit
Their chain of homes and graves.
They launched-their cannon challenged
The Empire of the Waves
And while in youthful Duissance
Their nation fought for breath,
They learned TO jest WIN danger
AS Lords of Life and Death;
To jest with touch on trigger
And muzZle chilling brow
Hol Sciolists of Europe.
Solve we our scoffings now?
The quipS and roaring SallieS
OF Santiago's fray
Went round at Saratoga,
Rang out at Monterey.
Thought We our hearts were feebler
Than when the land was young?
Know that the waits We welcome
Sprang whence the Founders sprung,
And be they Slav or Teuton,
Or be they Goth of Gaul,
This mighty Mold of Nations
Shall form them, one and all
Our boyhood triumphs stand us
In noble stead today;
We played as though 'twere earnest
We fight as though 'twere play.
The grit that blocked the plunging line
Is now an army's large;
Tho dash that won the desperate goal
Leads on the rushing charge;
The eye that kept the rudder true
Sights clear through wrack and foam;
The strength that bent the plunginG oar
Now drives the bayonet home,
We hew our path through jungles,
Unknowing of its trend.
And dauntless meet the Present
For who may guess the end?
In joy Of might the torrent
Sweeps foaming to the plain,
Nor recks that in it's RACES
It grinds the miller's grain).
Dark Giants of the Futurei
We challenge without fears
Yea even as our fathers
Sons of the Pioneersl

of the law is the preservation of the

the statute is particular to mention the

THAT GOLD BOND SCHEME.

Subsequent developments have shown
that the attempt of the alleged
.non-partisans" and so-called silver
Republicans in the Salt Lake city coun-
ell TO commit the people to a gold bond
issue was nothing more nor less than a
goldbug scheme.
The explanations made and the ex-
cuses offered by the men who voted
for the gold clause were founded on
deception and disregard of public in
terest.

lawful money" bond could not be sold,

effort TO secure a purchaser. the state

THE TwENTY-FoURgH.


To the people OF Utah the Twenty
fourth Of July VIII ever be day of
sacred memories, and as such it should
ever be fttingly remembered through
out the state. A year ago the people
of the state were celebrating the semi
centennial anniversary. Of the settle
ment of Utah. 1t Nas a grand ceIebra-
ton, one 10 loox back TO-. one to serve
as pattern for the centennial ami
Versary celebration. Many. of the pio-
neers who participated in the celebra-
ton of last year are shn in the land
OF the living, while a few have passed
into the great beyond.
In this city the day viii be fttingly
comnemoYated by defeating Pioneer
square, the piece of land where the
pioneers camped so years ago, as
public park. The ceremonies attending
this dedication Will take place tomor-
row (the 25th), instead of today. today
being the Sabbath. This is the very
best use. the most fitting and appro-
PIRATE. TO which the Old Fort block
could be devoted. At various times it
has been proposed TO devote the square
TO different purposes, but most fortu-
nately it is to be dedicated at last to
the use Of the people and the beauti-
flying Of the city. Hereafter it will
commemorate the arrival of the pio-
neers.
It's so years since that devoted band
entered this valley. Few Of them re-
main, but those who do are held in the
protoundest respect by all. And when
they shall be all no more, they. like
their fellow travellers in that band of
pioneers who have passed away, Will be
held in sacred memory.

THE LOYAL CORPORATIONS.

Kansas City Times: The Western
Union Telegraph company has gone on
announcing death. because a patron
could not procure the necessary internal
revenue stamp. This is the same cor
porate institution which cannot compre-
bend why the public complains when it is
accorded special favors by the assessors
San Francisco Call: That the Wells
r a go EXPRESS company is irving to evade
the payment of its Just share or war taxes
has been related. To the story needs only
I 10 be added that there is much indigna-
ton over this fragrant act of unpatriOt-
! ism. Peonle were slow to believe that
vast corporation, protected by the gov
eminent. making additional profits by
reason of the war would refuse to paw
its share of the expenses while citizens
in every walk of life are paying and max
ing no protest and asking no questions.
But it is even so. Wells-Fargo. rich and
growing richer, declines to contribute.
Philadelphia Ledger: Tho express and
telegraph companies of the country dodge
the war tax by requiring. their customers
to aftiX the stamps required by the act
or at least TO pay for them. 1t is the old
story OF the consumer paying the tax
though ii was intended to be imposed upon
companies doing a profitable business
and companies that ought to bear their
share of war expenses.
Houston Post: 1t is to be regretted tina.
THESE corporations have sought to evade
the war tax or make their customers pay
II. II is the betrayal OF an unpatriotic
sentiment, an exhibition of a grasping
disposition that under the circumstances
IL peculiarly reprehensible. They NAV 60
into the courts and find aid ard comfort
from a source that has rarely failed them
but If; after this opinion from the high
law of1cer of the government. they adopt
such course. the popular feeling of in
Jury will surely find practical expression
in hostile legislation by the states that
cannot "a defeated nf itC
pose.
San Francisco Call: That corporations
should be evading the war tax is to be
regretted on more than one ground. That
the Wells-Fargo Express company should
be among the fragrant offenders is a mat
ter for surprise, As a corporation il has
always been liberal. 1t has seemed to
appreciate the fact that it enjoys the pro
lection of the government. Yet when
there is pressing need of revenue this
corporation sneaks with the rest, and
tries to make somebody else pay the tax
congress has laid upon it.
Chicago Dispatch: If in the end the
law decides that these common carriers
must pay the tax, their revenge and re-
course viii be to raise their charges, and
the people will be in a worse Situation
than ever. Corporations have no patriots

no characteristics of fairness. Their mot
