TWO LEGISLATURES.


a Democratic Legislature should be
elected this fall The record made by
the last one entities the party to this
consideration.
The public spirit shown by the Demo-
Gratis in their treatment Of state insui-
tutions, in the appropriations made for
public uses, indicated progressive
spirit far beyond that shown by the
Republicans at the previous session.
The fact that the Democratic legis-
lature revised and adopted the entire
cooe in addition 10 its other work. fin
fishing in 60 days, as against the pre-
vious session of 80 days, is an evidence
of industry and ability.
The expenses of the 80 days session
of the Republican legislature amounted
TO 1925 per day. The 60 days of the
Democratic assembly cost the state $415
per day.
There was no money wasted by the
Democrats. While they were more
generous in the building Of roads, and
the advertising of the states resources
and the maintenance of public institu-
lions, their annual appropriations were
less than those of the preceding Re
publican legislature
For economy, for public spirit, for in
dustry, for fidelity to the people, a
comparison OF records is favorable to
the Democratic legislature.

CONCERNING SALT.

Our morning contemporary is getting
gay. Yesterday it said:
We are told that C. Godfrey Gumpel,
an English scientist, has spent twenty
seven years in studying the effects of
salt upon the body, and is about to pub
lish book which he thinks will be
revolutionary He attributes diph-
iberia, apopleXy and various other dis
eases to deficiency of common salt in
the system. We suspect that the above
accounts for the vagaries of our morn
ing contemporary. 1t is evidently mere
ly too fresh. That is what makes it
choke W. when a solid truth is pre-
scented TO it. That is what gives it
symptoms of apopleXy when We remind
it that its defense of the head
Of the Democratic ticket is in
consistent, inasmuch as il gave him
a black eye the morning after he was
nominated, by gravely explaining that
while it stood ready to help him in
certain roundabout ways in which he
needed no hel2, it never could endorse
his personal status. What it needs is
more salt. carloads of it. 1t is too
fresh.
1t may be that The Herald needs
salt. and yet it is of the salt of the
earth. But our contemporary, no salt
can save it. Like Lots wife, it has
locked backward and been turned into
pillar of salt. But its salt hath lost
its SAVIOR. and wherewith shall it be
sailed? We may need more salt, but
eve have some salt of our youth in
u.s." and we feel sure that after Nov. s
The Herald and the Democracy will sit
above the Salt, and not below it.

FISHERS FEARFUL LAMENT.

I. NJ. Fisher, the Tribune's auditor,
has evidently never heard of the fool
killer or he would shun the haunts of
men until after the election.
Fisher furnished for publication a
statement Of county finances that made
even his official organ balk; and it
takes pretty tough misstatement to
do that.
Now, Fisher tearfully claims that
somebody is singing him out for spe-
cial opposition. He magnifies his i'm
portance too much. If he had been sat
isfed to tell the truth, he would have
been as insignificant in this campaign
as he was in the auditors Office when
he drew salary there.
The real and sufficient reason for OBJ
jecting to Fishers election is his in
ability to do the work of the office to
which he aspires. The taxpayers have
had a taste of his methods, and it was
enough to last them for all time to
come

yer by dropping the silver dollar from
the list of coins in 1873; all that is nee
essary for the purposes of this cam
: paign (the entire record from 1873 to
1896 IS in favor of the Democrats and
against the Republicans is to ascer-
tain the position of the two great par
ties on the question today.
In 1896, for the first time in the his
tory of the country, the Democratic and
Republican parties defined their posi-
ton on the question of the free and in
dependent coinage of silver. In their
national platform the Democrats put a
plank demanding the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l. In their platform
the Republicans put a plank declaring
against the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, without international agree
ment, and saying that the existing gold
standard must be maintained until
such agreement could be had.
The declarations of the two parties
must be the guide of the people in max
ing w. their minds which party will
enact legislation favorable to silver.
The Democratic party is pledged to
flee silver; the Republican party is
pledged to the maintenance of the gold
standard. The issue of 1896 will be the
great issue in 1900. Viii the people OF
Utah he true to silver in 1888, as they
We're two years since? If they prove
true to it now they will not be recreant
to it two years hence. The elections
this year are preliminary to those of
1900.
In the light of the history of silver
legislation since 1873, and in the light
of the declarations of the national plat
forms in 1896, there can be no doubt
in the minds of sincere friends of free
coinage which party will be friendly
to silver, and which hostile to it, which
will enact legislation for its restora-
ton to its. proper place in the coinage
system of the country, which will enact
legislation to strengthen the existing
gold standard.
The Democratic party is the friend
of silver: the Republican party is the
enemy of silver.
AS Utah goes in 1898, so will it go two
years hence.

LITTLE BULLETS FOR GAME.

From a Herald subscriber in South
Africa, Mr.. w. T. Hertzog, Bergvliet,
Deep River. near Cape Town, Cape Col
ony, we have received copies of the
Cape Times and the Cape Argus
(weekly edition.. While colonial pa
pers, they look as though they might
have come direct from London, so far
as paper and makeup are concerned.
In the political field Paul Kruger is the
chief figure, and what he does receives
sharp criticism. Mining matters are
very prominent, and the industry is
spoken of as though it were in it's in
fancy. Both papers give the circum-
stances OF the killing of a rhinoceros,
which shows the power of the modern
military rifle. The following is the
Times account:

THE UTAH BIG TREE.

Half a dozen miles from where Cap
tain Gaines troop has been spending
the summer is situated the Mariposa
group of big trees, the most celebrated
of all the big tree groups. There is the
largest standing tree in the world, the
Grizzly Giant. Not iar away lies
prone upon the ground the King of the
Forest, the greatest Of all trees, while
all around are great trees that would
be monarchs OF the forest in any other
land.
In this Mariposa group many of the
big trees have been named after the
various states, and the names, painted
on tin or boards, are tackled upon or
suspended from them. In the past,
when Utah people have gone through
the group looking at the trees named
for different states, they have looked
in vain for one bearing that of Utah.
No longer will they look in vain, for
now one has been named for Utah. To
Captain Game belongs the credit for
this.
1t is pleasant to think that in that
grove of trees. whose tops have been
pointing to heaven for thousands of
years, one now bears the name of Utah.
The Utah was a giant of the forest long
before Columbus dreamed Of seeking
the Indies by the western route. 1t
stood there basking in the sunlight and
warmth of summer, and defying the
storms of winter, before Eric's days.
1t stood there, a tree of goodly size,
when the Child of Bethlehem was born.
OF no grove in all the wide world can
it be more fittingly said that "the
groves were Gods first temples" than
of the Mariposa grove. And the Utah
tree is one of the pillars of the great
Mariposa temple.

1t seems from the reports that Mr.
ABBOT does not exactly agree with Sem
ator Rawlins and Congressman KING
concerning the amount OF available land
on the reservation. and gives it out as his
opinion that there will be very much less
land than is generally supposed left for
settlement after the alIotrnents are com
pleted- Wei. we presume that settles il.
OF course the opinions of Senator
Rawlins and Judge King, who have been

very little as against the eminent gentle
man from Ohio. who knows Just as much
about irrigation as he does about In
dams
Speaking of the allotments and the
ultimate opening of the reservation. il
may be stated right here. that there are
certain individuals who it is believed sow
the seeds Of discomfort and distrust in
the minds Of the Indians and who. along
with the commissions. do not care
whether the county is ever opened to
settlers. We allude TO parties who are
working to obtain leases on mining propO-
sitiOns inside the reservation lines. All
these things tend TO confuse the Indians
and makes it a difficult matter to deal

NOW AND THEN.

Two years ago Senator Brown was
criticised by his local party organ for
attaching undue Importance to the tar
! if.
This year Mr.. Brown is doing the
same thing, but the organ has learned
to look up to Arthur Brown as a po-
litical leader.
On the S1st of October, 1896, the organ
said:
Senator Brown makes silver subor-
dinate to protection in his speeches,
and insists that the present Demo-
cratic) tariff is a free trade tariff. The
present tariff (Wilsons) is the highest
protective tariff ever passed, except
one. 1t is tariff that is entirely sat
isfactory to a good many branches of
manufactures in the east. 1t is not a
discriminating tariff, but it is more
highly protective than any tariff ever
passed, except the Mckinley bill. The
senator always insists that,Swhile we
all feel favorable TO free silver. Repub-
licans hold that protection is the more
essential article of faith. He is frank
and fair in his statements, and people
can judge from them exactly how he
stands. In our judgment no tariff in
the world can do this country any good
or begin to restore prosperity to the
masses of the people until silver shall
be rebabilitated."
What has happened since 1896 to
change the situation? What has oc-
Cured to alarm our contemporary over
Democratic tariff policies? In that
same year it told the Provo Enquirer:
THE present tariff is higher than
any tariff that ever was, except one. 1t
does not help Utah especially, and we
will tell the provo Enquirer a Sc
cret: The men in the east (Republi-
cans) who are shouting tariff do not
propose, whatever changes there may
be in the tariff, to make it of any spe-
cial benefit to the men of the west
The Tribune continued: and We
predict, and would be glad if the En-
quirer would cut the prediction out and
paste it on its walls. that if Mr.. Nc
Kinley is elected and he does not at
once move to have the silver question
adjusted, in two years the country will
vote his administration a fiat failure,
and his friends in Utah will, by that
time see how idle was the work to try
to cure the cancer which is eating up
the vitality and the natural strength of
this republic by a tariff poultice."
Has the organ changed front on this
proposition from force of habit? Or
is it willing TO make any sacrifice or
change as well as effect any combina-
ton to beat the Democrats"

DEATH OF COLONEL wARING.

The news of the death of Colonel
George z. Waring, from yellow fever,
viii be a shock TO the whole country.
Perhaps the most distinguished sapi-
tary engineer in the United States, he
went to Havana as an agent of the
Washington government to study the
sanitary conditions at Havana and
other Cuban towns, and to report upon
what was necessary TO be done to put
them in a proper state of sanitation
and prevent them from continuing as
pesthouses for the breeding of yellow
fever and other diseases. 1t was while
in Havana that he contracted yellow
fever, from which he died yesterday.
When it was announced that he had
been stricken with the fever it was
hoped that it was only a mild type
but it proved to be malignant To the
superstitiously inclined it might seem
that there was something fateful for
the Waring family in yellow fever, the
father, mother, brother and three sis
tiers of Mrs. Warning having died Of it.
To Colonel Waring, New York owes
it that its streets are clean today, fit
to compare with those of the best
kept capitals Of Europe. 1t was he who
reformed the STRENGTHENING system of
New York, and in doing it he did a
service TO municipal government
everywhere throughout the land.
His death is a great loss to the coun-
try at this time, when there is so much
sanitary engineering needed il Havana
and other Cuban cities, and his selec-
ton to inspect them shows in what es-
timation ne was held. His work will
not cease, while his example will be as
a beacon light to all interested in the
sanitation of cities.

AL MAS MODEST CLAIM.

Mr.. Eldredge is saying that IS per
cent of the people of Utah are in favor
of the free and Independent coinage of
silver.
Then he is counting on receiving but
s per cent of the vote cast.
In all probability he is over-estimat-
ing the silver strength. He will surely
poll more than ; per cent
To make a liberal concession, at east
Is per cent of the people of Utah may,
for personal or partisan reasons, join
MIR. Eldredge this fall in endorsing
and applauding' McKinley's financial
policies.
This will leave IS per cent. Allowing
the Populist candidate 2 per cent, there

as it stood for Bryan two years ago.

A LIMPING EXCUSE.

The organ has tried to solace itself
and reassure its readers by saying:
I'VE supported a Republican candidate
for congress two years ago, and no one
questioned our loyalty TO bimetallism
then
This is a clever. but not a good ex-
ouse.
Two years ago Republicans who sup
ported Lafayette Holbrook were sup
porting Z Bryan man. q man who re-
pudiated the ST Louis platform, re-
nounced the Mckinley ticket, and ap@
plauded the course of the delegates who
bolted the national convention.
This year Republicans who support
Alma Egdredge are supporting Nc
kinney man. who read and approved
the silver plank in the St Louis plat
form. who voted for the gold candi-
dates, and still 'applauds and endorses
Mckinley and his policies"
II the organ can show that there is
no difference between these cases, it
viii be another evidence of its genius.
