CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY.

DR.. James 5. Angel, who has been
minister to Turkey for the past year
or SO, has just returned to New York
Speaking of the demands of the United
States for indemnity for the destruc-
ton of the property of Americans, he
said it seemed to him that an armed
demonstration is the only means
whereby the Turkish government can
be made to make the restitution asked
for.
An armed demonstration is the only
argument the sultan ever respects, but
at this particular juncture he would
calculate, were the threat of such a
demonstration made, that the United
States are so involved in the orient
that the threat would be an idle one.
If it were made it would not be an idle
one, but there is small likelihood that
it will be made. Just at present the
government has need for all the ships
of the navy elsewhere than at Con-
stantinople, and probably will have for
some time to come. A demonstration
before Constantinople might have the
effect to cause Europe to define her
attitude towards this country, for no
doubt that attitude has been greatly
modified since the war with Spain.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-23
WANT TO BE MUSTERED OUT.

From everywhere throughout the
land the, volunteers are asking to be
mustered cut of the service. They find
he'reutine of camp life dull and irk-
some. and they fret under it.
The greater part of army life is just
such life as the volunteers are now
experiencing. A cause of the discon-
| tent of the volunteers is that they have
not had their individuality disciplined
out of them, that they retain all their
love of absolute freedom of action, all
of which is perfectly creditable to
them.
This demand of the volunteers to be
mustered out has a great lesson in it
for the American people, one that
should be needed. There has grown up
in the country since war with Spain
was declared a considerable party that
favors what is usually termed imperial
ism, which means the possession of
colonies and participation in the poll
tics OF the world. At first blush the
policy seems fascinating, but it is so
only at the first blush. The adoption
of policy of Imperialism means the
creation of q large army to properly
garrison colonies and distant posses
sions. Army life in colonies and dis
tant possessions is the same humdrum,
monOtonous life from which the vol
unteers are now demanding to be re-
leased. VIII a hundred or two thou
sand American citizens care to volun-
teer for such a life? Certainly not
those who have volunteered for the
present war. If they viii not volun-
teer they will be still more averse to
the CONSUMPTION and draft, but if there
are no volunteers then the CONSUMPTION
and draft must be resorted to. Con-
scription and draft would be just as
obnoxious in republican United States
as in military Germany. And when
these come, as they probably will if
the imperialistic policy is adopted
there will be no mastering out when
soldiers become tired Of the soldiers
life. All this should be carefully con-
sidered when the adoption of an i'm
perialistic policy is urged. It is an
easy matter to have an jmperialistic
policy if a country is prepared to pay
the price, but let it be remembered
that there is such a thing as paying
too much for a whistle
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-23

I the absurd dissension of our queru-
lous contemporary let US compare the
paragraph it takes from The Herald's
article with the statements of recog-
nized authorities, who, If not so con-
ceited as the Tribune, are certainly
more honest.
The Herald said: when both are
used for money and the market price
of one falls below that of the other, the
cheaper metal will be loaned to the
borrower, the borrower will pay his
creditors in the cheaper metal, making
the demand greater for it, and very
slight shade of difference will throw
the demand one way or the other. The
increased demand will always raise the
price. and this will bring the cheaper
metal up to the other"
Congressman Shafroth, in his great
speech in congress of May &c, 1898, said:
Under free coinage the minute one
metal becomes cheaper than the other
all the demand is taken from the
dearer and transferred to the cheaper
metal. That demand is so great COM
pared to the actual difference in pro-
duction that 1t almost Immediately re-
stores the value of the cheaper metal.
What has our goldbug neighbor to
say to that?
Senator Stewart, another prominent
authority, has said:
How is the parity maintained?
When both metals are used and the
price of one falls below that of the
other, the owner will loan to the Dor
rover the cheaper metal, and the Dor
rover will pay his creditors in the
cheaper metal, consequently the de-
mand falls upon the cheaper metal,
and the demand will raise the price, so
as to make that metal equal the other.
During all the ages the parity has
been maintained by throwing the de-
mand upon the cheaper metal. That is
bimetallism."
Now, let the great silver patriarch
which stands with Ogden's silver pio
neer in the ranks of the goldbug organ
ization. tell Stewart and Shafroth that
they don't know the first principles Of
what they are talking about

ALGER TALKS.

Secretary Alger has been down in
Tennessee looking at some of the mill
tary camps. Addressing the army Of
! ficers and citizens committee of Nash
| vile, he said he was there to see for
himself just how the troops are faring.
Referring to Camp Thomas, he said:
Il want to say that had the war de-
partment been acquainted with the
conditions said to have existed at
Chickamauga, the troops there would
have bean moved long before they
were. We received only good reports
at Washington from the commanding
officers, and it was supposed that the
outside reports were exaggerated.
The whole country was acquainted
with the conditions that existed at
Chickamauga. and if the war depart
ment WIS not. it was because of its
obtusenesS or DerversenesS. When the
press of the country was telling of the
conditions at Camp Thomas and the
reports of commanders were directly
opposite, why did not the war depart
nent take some steps to ascertain what
the true conditions were?
was receiving only good reports from
The commanding officers. and it was
supposed that the outside reports We're
exaggerated. Having found out that
the outside reports were not exagger-
ated. and that those of the commanders
were not entirely reliable, that they
were, in reality, the exaggerated re-
ports, what does the secretary of war
propose to do? 1t is probable that he
doesn't propose to do anything, but to
let matters slide" Alger is simply
trying to hedge, and to make it appear
that he is greatly shocked at the con-
dition cf some OF the Gangs He can
not be shocked, and he cannot make
the people believe that he can be.
But sight should never be lost
of the fact that however responsible
for the mismanagement of the war de-
rartment Alger is, Mckinley is respon-
sible for Alger. The shortcomings, mis-
management and incapacity of Alger
have had the endorsement and backing
of Mckinley. He is primarily respon-
sihle. and at his door should be laid
the blame for the misconduct CT the
war department, and he cannot plead
ignorance of the charges against his
secretary, and so escape blame, for
those charges have been iterated and
reiterated by the press of the country
and they have been the one theme of the
letters sent home by the volunteers
Never before in the history of this
country were incomDetency and imbe-
cility so exposed and Daraded before
the people as have been the incomoe-
tency and imbecility of the war de-
partment in the His9ano- American
war. And never were incomoetency
and imbecility so ignored as they have
been by Mr.. Mckinley, He has done
all that lay in his power to exalt them
Let Mckinley. and not AIger. be
blamed for the mismanagement and in
competency of the war department.

RETURN OF THE TWENTY.
FOURTH.

The major part of the Twenty fourth
infantry viii soon return to Fort Doug
las. A movement has been started to
give the regiment a reception worthy OF
its heroic conduct at San Juan, and
for this purpose subscription lists have
been opened.
The regiment is worthy OF the great
est reception that the state can give it.
Just what form the demonstration of
welcome should take we do not pretend
to say, but we know it is the desire of
General Kent, who has the esteem and
respect of every citizen of the state,
that any demonstration of welcome
on the return of the regiment to
Douglas should not be of a nature that
would cause the soldiers of the regi-
ment to indulge in any excuses, a
most natural thing after their hard
campaign, and on so joyous an occasion
as their return to the post they left in
the spring, that would in any way de-
tract from their reputation for sobriety
and orderliness, or in any way make
them unworthy of the high esteem in
which they are now held. General
Kent cherishes the good name the
regiment won at Douglas as highly as
the great name it won at San Juan.
When the regiment returns, let the
demonstration of welcome to be given
1t be participated in by the whole state.
The occasion win be a great one; let it
be made memorable one.

LIGHT ON THE SILVER ORACLE.

Those who have watched the Trib-
une's course for the past few weeks,
since it adopted the motto, Anything
to beat the Democrats" evince no sur
prise that it has begun 20 quarrel with
The Herald, discredit the silver leaders
! of the nation. and contradict its own
utterances on the silver question.
With consummate egotism the Re-
| publican organ boasts of superior wis.,
dem and looks down with supercilious
disdain from its place on the Repub-
lican platform upon others who dare to
say a word about free coinage. AS a
matter of fact our morning contempor-
airy is SO VIGOROUSLY unfair, SO out
rageously untruthful and so perfectly
Indifferent to facts and figures that.
with all its good intentions, and we
viii concede it may have had them,
there is some question as to whether it
has done the cause of silver more good
than harm.
The Tribune has made so many
changes of late, it has reversed almost
every policy it advocated six months
ago, that no wonder was expressed
fl ncial arguments yesterday morn
ing. AT the beginning of the summer
our neighbor was seriously opposed to
the retention of the Philippines; now it
favors their annexation. Two months
ago it held Alger and Mckinley to
blame FOR the neglect and starvation
of soldiers; now it says that only de
sDicable papers" did that.
Usually several days elarse before it
contradicts itself In its defense of the
Provo EnIuirer's position yesterday,
the Tribune disputed The Herald's
statement in one sentence, and devoted
half column then to a roundabout re-
affirmation OF what The Herald had
said.
1t reminded us of the old darkey who
said: "Massa and I CANT get along
tail. He say sandy groun' the bes' TO-
sweet taters. and l say so, too So we
'spute ali day long"
The Herald said that parity is main
tanned between gold and silver under
free coinage automatically, because
when the market price of. silver falls
the demand is for the cheaper metal:
that this demand would raise the price
and bring the two together.
The Tribune says that this is con-
trary TO both history and common
sense, and against every rule of DO
litical economy" Yet, farther along in
the same argument, it says: In order
that the metals shall circulate concur
rently. their market value must CORE
spond in the coinage ratiov
Our contemporary bears out The
Heralds contention again when it says
that:
The gold men say that no edict of a
can change the market
value of a metal, the silver men as
sert that the matter is one of demand
and supply, wholly, and that if the
opens an unlimited de-
mand for either metal at a certain |
value, no power on earth can reduce |
that value so long as the government
takes all that can be offered.
But in order to illustrate more fully |
