1t is Very COmfOrtin'.

1t Is very comfortin.
When your hair is gettin' thin,
And the crow feet in your eyes have come
Just to feel her little hand
Smoothin' back each silver strand,
While you meet her loyin look and hear
her say
MY dear it seems as tho 4
Every year you live you grow
Handsomer than In the olden day;
Then you look up at your wife
And You think in all your life
You never heard sweeter word of praise.
But the tear drops will arise
To your dim old fadin' eyes,
And you kiss the gentle hand, still white
and small;
While you try to tell her how
You loved her then--Oye hersnow
But bless me If the words will come at all;
For Just then there comes to you
The trials she's gone thro',
And borne without n murmur for your
safe;
You can only bow your head
At the ovin' things she's said,
While your poor old heart will only ache
and ache.
But she knows what ails you then,
And she kisses you again,
While you hear her gently whisper sweet
and low,
Life has brought more hopes than fears
We have known more smiles than tears
And the years seem ever brighter as they
CO."
Yes It's comfortin you know.
When your step Is gettin' slow
And you're slidin' down lifes hill almighty
fast.
Just to feel her little hand
Smoothin back each silver strand,
While she tells you that she'll love you to
the last.

MORE FIGHTING.

No confirmation has been had of
the startling report received in Berlin
from Holland that the whole British
army at Ladysmith has surrendered,
and that the troops are now prisoners
of war, but there has been a battle near
Ladysmith in which the British were
not as successful as they had hoped
to be. The Boer artillery and the Boer
troops were well handled, and at last
accounts the British were falling back,
having failed to carry out their plan.
1t is evident that the British need
the help that is on the way to them,
and there may be no decisive movement
until that help arrives unless the Beers
force the situation. Why they have
not done so before now is not clear, as
they will have no chance of success
when all the English troops arrive and
attack them in earnest.

Proposals are being entertained by the
French military authorities for new
weapon called the pistol saber, which,
if adopted, will be put in use in several
cavalry regiments. This is an ordinary
saber provided with a small firearm
lodged in the hilt. on encountering a
resistant surface the blade recedes and
discharges q pistol, 4 recol about a
tenth of an inch being sufficient for the
purpose The shot will, it has been as
certained, penetrate steel breastpate.
1t is expected that the new weapon
which weighs only one-third more than
the ordinary saber and which, of course
when the pistol is not loaded, can be
employed in the usual way, will prove
very serviceable particularly in engage
1nents between bodies of cavalry.

GOlDBUGS REJOICING.

Apparently the Louisville Courier
Journal has just learned of our morning
contemporaries abandonment of the
silver fight, attention having been
called to it probably by Mr. Lannan's
recent Washington interview in which
he pronounced free coinage a dead is
sue.
The Courier-Journal which is one of
the few goldbug organs that ever at
tempt anything but abuse of silver n.en
in support of its cause, is naturally de-
lighted to introduce an occasional wit
ness in favor of the existing financial
policy, and, incidentally in vindication
of its own course.
Therefore, it gives our neigh5or just
praise for the valiant work it did FOR
silver in the days gone by, and pays
high compliments to its ability as a
champion of the white metal in order
to make its change of front seeln all
the greater. The editorial is given in
full:
The Salt Lake Tribune says that "our
judgment is that it is useless to make
another stand for silver in this county
until conditions change. We have
drawn an undue proportion of the
worlds wealth to this country during
the last two years, with the result that
there is not a country in Europe that
is not distressed now for money, and
in serious trouble. and our idea is that
as things are tending at present the re-
monetization of silver will nave to
come from the nations of Europe.
The Salt Lake Tribune is one of the
most earnest and able advocates of
free silver in the west That is why it
acknowledges the hopelessness Of max
ing the next campaign on the silver
issue. 1t is only the superficial to-
waters who continue to clamor for an
other fight on the lines of 1896. These
embrace two classes; the first made up
of honest Zealots who sustain them
selves with noise instead of reason, and
who see no further than the froth they
stir up; the second; composed Of the
petty leaders who have secured their
little brief authority on the silver issue
and who know that their day is done
when the Democratic party returns to
its senses and abandons the 16 to
wreck
The Tribune was one of the few sup
porters of Bryan and free silver which
sought to sustain themselves with hon
est and intelligent argument. 1t is
natural therefore that it should be
among those who are able to see and
frank to admit that under existing con-
ditionS the cause of independent free
silver in the United States has no hope
Having gone thus far, our Salt Lake
contemporary should go farther and
acknowledge that our present prosper
ity, recognized by the Tribune when it
confesses that I've have drawn an I'M
due proportion of the worlds wealth to
this country during the last two years."
is directly due to the defeat of Bryan
and free silver in 1896.

HANNA AND OHIO.

docs Mark Hanna own Ohio?' asks
an exchange disguised at the manner
in which he manipulated the state con-
vention.
Not exactly. But he owns the Repub-
lican party of Ohio. And why shouldn
he? What is modern Republicanism
without the leadership of a Hanna? His
methods are the methods which bring
it success. He represents the elements
which keep the organization alive. He
is a typical Republican of the present
day. Having the confidence of trusts
and monopolies, the good will of the
bankers and brokers, the cooperation
of the bosses and corruptionists, the
president under his thumb and the plat
form of the party in his vest pocket,
whatever possesses men like McKisson
or Daugherty to oppose his will in his
home state?
They say it was necessary for hanna
to form an alliance with the Infamous
Cox of Cincinnati in order to down the
remnant of old-time Republicanism in
the state. Granted But what right
has any one to think that the chairman
of the national Republican organization
would scruple at any deal or hesitate at
any combination to carry his point?
In 1896 he called to his aid every cor
rupt agency and employed every des-
picable device known to political trick
cry. And that was his entrance upon
the stage of American politics. Flushed
with the plaudits of his kind and intox-
icated with the pressed fruits of victory
is it likely that he will abandon the
methods by which he achieved success?
OF course, he owns the Republican
party of Ohio. 1t is a part of the ma
tionaI organization. Whether or not he
still owns the state, politically, Will be
answered by the people of Ohio at their
next election

HURRAH FOR SCHLEY.

''Hurrah for Admiral Schley, the Re
publicani" shouts the irrepressible Og-
den Standard, determined to make up
in vociferation what it lacks in argu-
ment.
We yield the palm to our neighbor of
the north. When it comes to bowling
down opposition no one has any bust
ness in a contest with the Standard.
The other day it represented that
Schley had voted for Oliver P. Morton
of Indiana for governor of Ohio. The
Herald pointed out the obvious alb
surdity of this. Then the Ogden paper
came back with the following:
BY the way. what authority has The
Herald for stating that Admiral Schley
could not have cast legal vote in either
massachusetts, New York. New Jersey or
Indiana? Does not The Herald know
that during the rebellion there were laws
permitting sailors and soldiers TO vote
wherever they were located?
The Herald called attention to the
fact that the law permitting soldiers
TO vote in the civil war would not have
permitted Schley to vote for a guberna-
torial candidate in Ohio or in any OF the
states named.
Apparently furious by this time, the
Standard exclaims:
After bowling for months that Admiral
Schiey is a Democrat, The Herald is
finally challenged to give its authority
for making such claim. Instead Of
giving its authority. ii says that Admiral
Schley could not have voted for state
officers in any state Well, whoever dis
puted that fact?
Who, indeed? But the Standard is in
error when it says that The Herald has
commented upon Schley's politics, ex-
cept to point out the glaring misstate-
ments attributed to him in the ogden
paper, which seems to claim him as its
own. The party leanings of the hero
of Santiago bay never concerned US in
the least. Republican, Democrat or
mugwump, he is the real hero of that
battle. If he ever cast a vote in his life
The Herald is not aware of it. If he
has political preference ne is entitled
to it. But what has that to do with his
naval record or his visit to Utah, any
how? In view of these facts, the fol-
lowing from the Standard is amusing:
The Standard claims that Admiral
Schley is d Republican and we challenge
any one 10 dlsprove it. Furnish the
proof, Mr. Herald, or admit that you
have been deceiying your readers during
the past year. Hurrah for Admiral Schley.
the Republican,
If Schley actually told the Standard
that he voted for Oliver P. Morton for
governor of Ohio" as the Standard
says he did. we are willing to concede
that it is entitled to consider him
Republican. That ought to satisfy our
esteemed friend in Ogden.

CRIME IN The SOUTH.

1t is quite refreshing to read an ear
nest, unabusive, fair-minded discus
sion of the race question like that
which appears in Town Talk, a colored
paper published in this city The edi-
tor, w. P. Hough, is evidently a gen.
tleman, and his language is free from
that coarse and reckless extravaganza
which characterizes the writings of the
ordinary negro. He says:
The negro pleads no ignorance of the
laws of the land He asks no special
favors shown to him. II he violates the
law, he suffers the penalty therefor. If
the white man transgresses the law. let
him suffer for IL. We want the same
medicine prescribed for all alike.
That has a manly ring about it. The
editor of Town Talk is capable of maxi
ing himself understood, and the posi-
ton of his people appreciated. He does
not refer to the manly and cowardly
somebody" and pile up a lot of para
doxical expletives that SAVIOR of an end
man in a circus minstrel. And this
makes what he says worthy of serious
consideration, for it is evident that he
isn't writinr merel~ to vent his spleen,
but to help his race.
The Louisville Courier-Journal con-
tains an editorial which seems to cover
the case made out by the colored paper
above quoted. 1t is as follows:
1.-The administration of justice in the
southern states is, in the main, efficient
against whites and blacks alike. The
thief, irrespective of color; is punished
when the evidence justifies it. On the
other hand, when evidence is lacking,
he is acquitted. The ravisher, when
proved guilty, has no chance at all,
and it does not matter whether he is
white or black. If he gets before a
when the proof against him warrants
such a verdict. But when it comes to
murder or manslaughter, or attempts
to commit either, the case is different,
not merely in the south, but all over
the country. If a man has money
enough to hire the best lawyers, and
has a certain amount of social influence
back of him, it is very hard to convict
him of murder, manslaughter or ma
licious wounding in any state of the
Union. 1t is no worse south than it is
north, but 1t is altogether bad in all
parts of the country. There is too
much sympathy everywhere with the
negro woman's idea that slashing an
enemy with razor or other weapon is
nothing disgraceful.'
