III. THE HOME DECORATION.

In spite of the fact that decoration
has now a literature of its own and
that IAuch really beautiful work is be-
ing d 0ne in this field, there fingers still
the habit which came in with the first
stir of thought and interest in this pre-
viously unknown direction, of saying
art colors,'' art decoration" art
fabrics" etc. If such things are in ex-
istence at all, they must of necessity
be art, and belong to it, just as chem
istry. biology, etc, belong to science.
If a color does not belong to art, then
it is merely satin or a dye. If fabrics
are 4mperfect and badly colored, art
has nothing to do with them. The
artistic sense is in some sort a sixth
sense, born in fullest measure in the
artist, but latent in all and to be Gull
tivated like any other sense. For the
elder generation this is often difficult,
or even impossible. For the younger
the kindergarten gives foundation.
and the art training of our newest and
highest thought in education takes the
child from the kindergarten and in a
course of work extending through sew
eral years not only trains the eye, brain
and hand together. but leaves the pupil
with an enlarged and perfected sense
of form. color and design. This means
presently a perfected decoration, from
the lowliest cottage to the most mag
nificent mansion or public building;
and toward this we are moving, our
quick adaptiveneSs as a people making
the passage a speedy one.
This is .. complex subject, yet there
are a few simple principles that are of
general application to every. building.
We have to treat floors, walls and cell
ings in such manner that there will be
feeling of harmony and satisfaction.
The cottage IS not TO hang its drawing
room, or its cottage equivalent, in yell
low satin. nor can the drawing room in
the palace hang up a chrome or cheap
print on it's stately walls. This would
seem self-evident, yet one sees incon-
gruities as gross in many a house where
the art sense has never entered. We
have, then, three heads:
ta) Floors. their finish and treatment
(b) Walls and methods to beautify them.
lc) Ceilings and their handling.
1t is worth while to note at this point
that the slenderest purse can now COM
mand in fabrics and tints for general
coloring range unknown a few years

utilization with the Republican party is
Reputation Of principle and affiliation
with the worst enemies, of the repub
lie and the people, are Republicans no
longer or else they have joined the ma
tons worst enemies. Newspapers that
onee claimed TO have made sacrifices for
silver have made sacrifices fully as
great to get back into the Hanna camp.
All Republicans are followers of the
single gold standard. No Republican
newspaper of national Importance con-
siders any man Republican who clings
TO the douhlestandard silver is dead
in this country" they declare, land the
only thing to do is to legalize the)ex-
listing gold standard.
So the fight VIII come on this winter.
Republicans are bold and impudent be-
cause they look upon bimetallism as
corpse. 1t viii prove to be the liveliest
corpse they ever tackled, and if they
succeed in killing it again next year we
shall miss our guess.

A BAD WATER RooRsAcK.

Ti&t was characteristic news story
supplemented with an editorial en-
dorsement, which the Tribune printed
yesterday about the conditions in Par
Ieyis canyon and the denominations that
are flowing down through the conduit
to sicl5eA the good people of this city.
1T was truly a narrative of filth and
falsehood. Possibly the offal detector
Who was assigned to discover poison
germs found some of the things he
described, either il Parley's canyon
or elsewhere. More than likely the
Tribune has selected samples of filth,
carefully bottled and labeled. in its
counting room for the edifcation of its
visitors. But that does not demonstrate
Guy present impurity in Parley's creek
water. though it may be regarded as
good evidence of filth somewhere with
in easy reach of Salt Lake.
After describing how bad the water
is. the Tribune continues: by actual
measurement 100000 gallons of that
water is being conducted into the pipes
which supply this city daily" There
isn't a gallon of Parley's creek water
being used in this city That source of
supply was shut off some weeks ago.
OF course the Tribune didn't know this
when it made the statement 1t hadn't
caught ~ with the news so that it
wouldn't be fair TO charge it with. "a
more grave offense than involuntary
fa3sehood.
In this connection little history
might be beneficial to the Tribune,
which appears to have difficulty in
ascertain;ng facts during political
campaign. Last spring the city engi-
-n,ser reported TO the city council that
Par4eS's canyon required cleaning be-
fore il would be safe for the water
from the creek to be turned into the
mains that supply the city. The coun-
eli made an appropriation of several
hunered dollars for the purpose, and
ordered the necessary cleaning done.
II was done, and the creek purified ae-
cord;Dg to Mr. Kelsey's idea of the
need. When the water from other
sources began to fail during the sum-
Iner months. Parley's creek water was
turnei on. When the need some weeks
ago for this added supply had passed,
sthe water was again shut off. These
ARE the facts.
AS to Parley's creek water, an Of
iicer at the penitentiary quoted else
where in this paper. states that the
water is pure. aid in proof of his as
eertion he cites the fact that 2arley's
creek water solely is used at that insti-
tuition. and there is an entire absence
of the germ diseases there that might
follow the use of impure water.
From a clear appreciation Of the facts
II is evident the Tribune is simply en-
eaged in exploiting a political party,
and 10 do so is backing up d rotten
cause With rotten argument. Still
il is a matter of regret that even the
exieencies of a political contest should
be regarded as II sufficient justification
for the circulation of series of lies
about the water supply that may work
lasting injury to the city.

DEWEY AND THE POLITICIANS

An eastern paper says that Admiral
Dewey would be elected to the presi-
dency by an Overwhelming vote pro
vided the politicians would permit the
people to nominate him.
The influence of politicians in con-
ventions and the ability of political
machines to run the government is not
TO be underestimated Politicians
nominated Mckinley and a corrupt
machine elected him to preside over
the destinies of the nation. But, on
the other hand. Bryan was nominated
in spite OF the politicians, although de-
feated al the polls by their treachery
added TO the coercion and corruption
employed by Chairman Hanna and the
national Republican machine.
1t all depends on the party The
Republican organization is dominated
by politicians. The bosses nominate
the tickets from president to mayor.
The Democratic organization is con-
trolled by the people; majorities name
the candidates and secret conferences
and star chamber conventions are re-
pudiated whenever they are attempted.
II Dewey were willing to make the
race for the presidency and the people
were determined to have him. he would
be nominated and elected without a
doubt, and in spite of the politicians:
but every Republican boss. heller and
capper in the country would fill the air
with praises of Commodore Mckinley
the real hero of Manila bay. and
Dewey would get a taste of what
Schley has had TO chew for more than
a year.
The chairman of the national Re
publican committee has been a little
nervous for some time over the growth
OF Dewey sentiment. When there was
some talk OF leading Democrats es-
pousing Dewey's cause, Republicans
undertook to prove that the admiral is
Republican Having established
that fact to their own satisfaction, at
least, Chairman Hanna says that lit
would be an insult TO this great and
good man to offer him political nomi-
nation"
Thus the hero is disposed Of by the
only loyal party 1t claims him as its
own, disputes anybody elses right 10

A UNIQUE LAW OPINION.


After SO long time the local Repub-
liean organ has been smoked out of its
corner behind the trust influences of
the country. It is now in the open mis-
representing history, misquoting law
and otherwise trying to shield Attor-
ney General Grtggs and President Nc
Kinley in their refusal to proceed
against the trust evil. The Tribune
says:
The Wilson and German law limited the
penalties against trusts to those import
ers who made unlawful combines. and at
the potion of the bill il said all laws in
conflict with this are hereby repealed.
For downright stupidity that carries
off the bakery. So that is what it has
been limiting at for a month or more?
The so-called Wilson and German law
does not limit the penalties of the anti
trust law of 1890 to importers who
made unlawful combines" but adds
such importers to the list of unlawful
combinations to be prosecuted. There
was nothing in such amendment that
conficted in any way with the act of
1880 in its references to trusts and un-
lawful combinations of every charac-
ter. Importers who formed trusts were
included because Republican protec-
tionists said that the Democrats We're
placing limitations only upon dealers
in domestic products.
1t is all nonsense to claim that the
law of 1880 was repealed as to its APP
plication to any sort of combination
formed in restraint of trade or to con-
troll the market

Can it be that Hon. George G. Can
mons absence from the city at this
time is disarranging some of the we'll
laid plans of our Republican friends?
Il would seem so from the following
rather petulant and sarcastic editorial
which appeared in the Tribune of yes
terday:
One paragraph in The Herald's dispatch

ton of President George q. Cannon. was
as lucid as it was touching. 1t told OF
his great love for b. H. Roberts, and that
anxiety over the attacks made upon him
and the Mormon church brought on u
nervous collapse which rendered him Pc
culiariy susceptible to pneumonia. That
is most astonishing. Who ever heard OF
the great friendship which Mr.. Cannon
has for Roberts, Again, Mr.. Cannon
is worried over the direction which public
sentiment has taken toward the Mormon
church but he believes that the church
provoked it. At least he did so believe a
year ago. But the groteSQue part is

If Mr.. Cannon is not giving the Re

couragement as, for some reason or
other, it seems the organ was counting
on, it is ungenerous, to say the very
least. for it to sneer at his illness and
question his interest in his people as
the Tribune has done.
Surely there is something in past
services and assistance to it and its
party plans that should render Mr..
Cannon secure from the stabs of such
