TWO PARTIES NEXT YEAR.

The St. Louis GlObe-Democrat says
there will be only two parties of any
power in the field in the next national
campaign.
1t calls attention to the fact that the
Republican seceders of the convention
of 1896 are withdrawing from the Dem
ocracy" And it says further: The
Salt Lake Tribune is right in its asser-
ton that Teller and his friends, who
organized the bolt in the st. Louis con-
vention, made the Bryanite campaign
of 1896 not only possible, but respect
able
But our St. Louis contemporary,
probably from a perusal of the organ
it cites as an authority, falls into the
error of imagining that Senator Teller
and his associates have ceased to give
their sympathy. support and eminent
responsibility to the Bryanite party.
The Globe-Democrat continues:
The significance of this collapse of the
Bryanite coalition of 1886 is that there
will be only two parties in the field next
year. The PoDulists are going back TO
their earlier affiliations. Republican and
Democratic Many of the gold Demo-
Gratis will join the Republican party on
the money issue. and the rest of them
will go TO the base-money ring of their
organization. Most Of the Republican
seceders of 1896 will come back to their
Old party.
That is only partly true. a few Of
the Republicans who seeded from the
Hanna organization in 1895. some of
whom, by the way, used TO shout the
loudest for silver. are going back to
their old party, giving as their excuse
that free coinage has been eliminated
as a living factor from the political is
sues of the day" that silver is dead"
or that the only place TO look for a
financial policy is in Europe.
But the great majority of them are
standing by principle, regardless of per-
sonaI grievances, old-time prejudice, or
new inducements TO join the admins
tration crowd.

TROPHIES OF THE WAR.

Since the federal government has
rendered to the state one of the can
ons captured from Spain during the
war which ended last August, by all
means let the gun selected be from
those taken at the fall of Manila.
It was there that the volunteers from
Utah distinguished themselves, not
only by gallant behavior in action, but
by the effectiveness of their work. The
skill and accuracy of the Utah batter
les excited the admiration of the en-
tire army corps in the Philippines, and
reflected great credit upon the intelli-
eenee Of the men and their careful
training of the artillery by its off,
GERS.
Nearly every state has made a re-
quest, since the signing of the protocol
almost a year ago, for some relic Of the
war to place in museum, park, or
public lot, or upon monument erected
TO a popular hero or to the slain. And
the war department has concluded to
grant these requests. But the relics
are not to become the absolute prop
eYty of the several states, it seems. for
the announcement of the secretary
says:
IT has been decided TO loan to the sew

END OF A vExATIOUS SUIT.

When men are reputed to be rich they
are frequently marked by the black
mailer as his legitimate prey. Some
men of means are constantly annoyed
by threats, or traps, or false appeals.
The professional blackmailer is partic
ular in the choice of his intended vic
tins to find men who are said to be
free with their money, and selects the
time to practice his eXtortion with rare
sagacity. A favorite season is just be-
fore the objects of his schemes are about
to get married. Many men will part
with handsome sums under such cir
cumstances rather than put up with
the annoyance and humiliation Of de-
Tending themselves. And this is true
when the victim is entirely innocent as
well as when there is some basis, how
ever slight, for the threat. For every
malicious charge, no matter if it be
made by a notorious liar and sneak,
Will find lodgment in the knotholeS of
some gnarled, wormeaten soul. An
other profitable time for the black
mailer to get in his work is pending a
mands money for silence, or else pre-
sents fictitious claims for fabulous
amounts based upon mythical and mys-
ferrous agreements or transactions.
During the senatorial contest last
winter all sorts of plans were made
and traps laid to extort money from A.
w. McCune. During that time suit
for several thousand dollars was be-
gun against him. 1t was dismissed
yesterday as the PLAINTIFF failed to ap-
pear either in person or by attorney.
The jury returned a verdict for Mr..
McCune. Many man under the same
circumstances would have settled with
an eXtortioner rather than have a suit
brought out of which his opponents
were bound to manufacture capital,
but the wrong man was tackled in this
instance.

CULVER UP-TO-DATE.

Logan, usually serene even in the
face of calamity, becomes strangely
excited when the fire alarm is sounded.
One reason is that fires are few and
far between in that place of pre-
ferred risks for insurance companies,
and another may be that fuel is dear
and the people hate to see it wasted
in the summer time.
However this explanation fits the
case. there was an alarm turned in the
other day and all Logan turned out.
Wagons, buggies and bicycles were
soon flying in the direction indicated;
horsemen and pedestrians raced on al
most every street, some Of the firemen
hurried on without waiting for the en-

ADJUSTMENTS.

The GOODNESS of the weather last
night, perhaps, had something to do
with the success of the end of the sea-
son at the Salt Lake theatre. At any
rate, the large audience gathered there
enjoyed "On and OFF, as though they
hadn't been made TO anticipate every
point and situation by the never-faliing
press agent. 'On and Off" is a farce
which, in many places, shows It's
French origin in a very unmiStakaDle
manner. and the opportunities OF such
occasions are not neglected by the
players. 1t is, at the same time, a
farce which is bright and original In
plot, and its strong point is Its excel
lent situations. These are as good as
the funniest and justify in every re
spect the plays reputation as mlrth-
provoker. While "On and OFF, is very
near the danger line which has Deen
crossed by such French farces as Ihe
Turtle" THE Cuckoo" and Mile FIN,
it still remains enough on this side TO
amuse self-respecting audience,
while, of course. few particular peo-
pie must have been shocked at times.
The breakfast table episode in the last
act is one of the funniest situations
ever introduced into farce-comedy.
The ending of the piece is abrupt, and
not well-rounded-it is something OF a
the act.
Coming to the question of the players.
it may be said that ION and Off" is
distinctly a ''twoman piece. a one
man play is common enough, but this
kind is something of a novelty. The
whole success of the performance rests
upon Ed Holland and Fritz Williams.
They are the life and the all, and 1t
is enough to say that they fully sustain
their regulations. Mr.. Holland, as the
comical villain and deceiving husband,
appeared to great advantage in young
looking strawberry blonde wig, and his
agility completely deceived one as to
the fact that Mr.. Holland is really bald,
and not prematurely so, either. Fritz
Williams is a most fascinating coined
ian, and one of the most reliable or
American actors. He and Mr.. Holland
form a pair who are inimitable, and to-
gether they present examples OF the
most finished farce-comedy work. The
rest of the men in the cast are salts
factory, and special mention should be
made of Ralph Delmore in the unique
role of ''Du Patty du Clam" OF the
ladies, Essie Tittell looks we'll and Hills
a not very exacting role with good
taste. Anita Rothe is unique in her
LONELINESS, a fact to which the make
up box no doubt largely contributes.
All her claims for a laugh come in on
the grotesqueness of her appearance.
Miss May Lambert, the girl with the
wink, was a disappointment-she was
not so essential to the humor of the
piece as we had been led to believe.

READY TO MOVE.

Among the local stories printed yes
terday was one to the effect that
United States Marshal Miller has his
posse organized. equipped, sleeping on
its arms and holding its legs in readi-
ness for instant action.
It was suggested to the marshal that
the desperadoes might be heading IN
the direction of Utah. thus doubling on
their pursuers. That official indicated
by a glance that he was alive to sucn
a contingency. According to the in
terview. he was prepared. he said, TO
move at a moments notice"
OF course, the marshal didn't say
which way he proposed to move if the
outlaws were found to be heading
towards him and his posse, but what is
the need Of going into details? Which
way would you go. gentle reader. if you
saw band of armed and desperate
men riding towards you?

or the monument association, post of the
Grand Army of the Republic or the. muni-
opal corporation must bear all the
expense in connection with the
transportation of the guns from
where they are now located. The
guns will be forwarded in most cases
from either the Watervliet arsenal, near
Troy, n. Y, or from the New York arse
nal at Governor island. New York. There
are no mounts or carriages, simply the
bare gun.
Those states which prefer trophies
from the Philippines. as most western
states will, may waive their claims
upon Cuban relics and wait for those
from the Orient. For, as the secretary
somewhat vaguely assures us, 1T is
possible that in the future some of the
guns captured there may be brought to
the United States"
When the proud descendants of the
ancient navigators and conqUerors
felt that their honor had received all
the satisfaction it could stand, they
made a dignified but somewhat hasty
exit from all the scenes of war and left
behind them in Luzon, as in Cuba and
Porto Rico, many a relic of departed
grandeur There are ancient bells
hanging to the charTed timbers of ca
thedrals or buried in the debris of their
ruins-bells that used to summon the
dusky converts of the early missions
TO mass and call the garrisons to
prayer; and fine old cannon from
whose brazen threats the shrek of
Spanish exultation rang as the adven-
turers We'd with each other in deeds OF
cruelty and rapacity practiced upon
the unoffending and defenceless ma
tives-cannon which hurled missiles Of
death and moved down the helpless
women and children of an ignorant
race. 1t was the cannon and the bell,
rannon, the booming of
the one relieved at intervals by the
ringing of the other the slaughter OF
the innocents occasionally suspended
for prayer.
1t was a. Spanish trait to make these
bells of the best of metal and their
chimes were of singular sweetness. 1t
was a Spanish custom to name their
cannon as they named their ships, to
ornament them as their officers and
rulers adorned themselves, to keep them
polished on the surface no matter what
their condition for actual service. Each
piece was sent out as the knight-errant
rode forth to battle. consecrated to the
religion of the ruler and the destruction
of all unbelievers.
Soon these old cannon and bells, the
obsolete ordinances, the implements Of
death and instruments of torture, en-
blematic of the ancient glory and the
medieval piety of Spain, symbolic at
once of force and bigotry, win be scat
tered over the new world that was dis
covered. explored and conquered in the
name of the king and the church. The
bells will be mute and the cannon
dumb and harmless. Stray Indians
from struggling bands, remnants of the
great race who owned and occupied this
entire continent four centuries ago,
viii look upon the relics occasionally,
perhaps, and wonder what they are for,
and never know the relation between
their own sad fate and these souvenirs
of banished Spain.
