Mr.. RoYLANcE'S WARNING.

Il there is any election from which
partisan feeling should be banished it
is the school election. 1t can't be done
in municipal or county elections any
more than it can be done in state and
national elections. But the public
schools should be kept aloof from par
1isan contentious, If possible.
However, political trickery makes it
impossible sometimes. When the mass
primary was called in Springvile the
other day it was non-partisan affair
as usual. A Republican presided at
the meeting. The candidate for school
trustee was selected without consider
ing political beliefs or affiliations. Or
dinarily there is little interest taken in
such campaigns. Citizens count upon
the ticket winning if only a dozen votes
are cast, and frequently no more than
that take the trouble TO go to the
polls.
At springville, the only people who
seriously endorsed the non-partisan
ticket were the Democrats. They
counted upon its election as a matter
sf course. II never occurred to them

ponent of religion. He managed, espec-
tally after his death, to obtain the
goodwill and respect of almost all
parties. The men of the revolution re-
garded him with reverence that was
little short of idolatry. Robespierre
would have made his teachings a new
bible for France and if necessary have
died for them as a martyr. On the
other hand. those whom Robespierre
would have prescribed, the church
party and their supporters, found in
Rousseau's influence one of their main
bulwarks. It was this influence, at any
rate, that kept religion and virtue and
public morality from going out of fash
ion in those revolutionary days.
And Rousseau's influence on litera-
ture and literary style was equally re-
markable. He gave to the literature
of the world a new quality delight
in and a feeling for natural beauty. He
also restored to French literature a
quality it had once possessed, but now
had lOst-the glow, the color, the heat,
the passion, of intimate Self-reVelation.
While in no sense a poet, he brought
back to literature for the use of poetry
the lyric thrill of genuine emotion And
French literature since his day has
never ceased to feel that thrill.
Rousseau and the encyclopedias
mark, therefore, the clearing of the
ways. Rousseau is the natural head
Of that school in literature which re-
CARDS the personal, the romantic, the
beautiful, as the chief objects of
thought and expression. The encyclo-
pedists, the PHILOSOPHERS" are the head
of that school which regards accurate
description, exact analysis and the
bringing together of true cause and
effect as the chief ends.

TX. ROUSSEAU AND THE
PHILOSOPHERS.

The characteristic feature of the lit
erary history of the great middle part
OF the eighteenth century in France
was the influence of the PHILOSOPHERS -
We have already seen who some of the
philosophers were. Diderot and the
contributors to the Encyclopaedia
constituted the main body of the group.
Montesquieu and Voltaire We're its pre-
cursors- But the prevailing spirit of
the whole period, no matter what liter
airy form he examined, was essentially
the same. The old order of things was
criticised and attached in every part
especially in religion and politics. But
what was most criticised ana attacked
were the constitution and dogma of the
church. Foltaire, the most active, YER
satlle and effective combatant of the

TRUSTS AND TROLLEYS.

When the widely known title and pat
ronage dispenser of Utah compares a
trust TO a street car trailer he makes
a characteristic argument. but no point.
This is the defense of trusts he puts
forth: when the weather is warm, it
is possible TO link three street cars to-
gether and carry 24O passengers in
stead of eighty, and to do it all with
one conductor and one motorman, and
that, too, without raising the wages of
the mCtorman and conductor"
If that were a trust, the Z40 passen-
gers would be compelled to occupy one
car or pay a premium for seats, while
the conductors and mortormen would
be discharged if they joined a labor or
ganization and denounced as blather-
sixties and incendiaries by the organ of
the trusts.
Then, if the widely known colonel,
with his epaulettes and spurs, should
desire to ride, it would require another
trolley and motorman-

TWO MINDS WITH sUT---

When Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
returned from Europe the other day all
the New York papers interviewed him.
No one charges that the great post
prandial orator issued invitations to the
various reporters or that he handed
each a typewriter manuscript, for
Chauncey is a great favOrite with the
fraternity. but he was interviewed.
The Commercial Advertiser reports
him as saying: william Mckinley will
be the next Republican candidate for
president and he will be elected. Silver
is dead"
There is a striking similarity in that
remark TO one which appeared in a
Washington Post interview several
weeks ago. The sentiment is identical
and the language is but slightly
changed.
Can it be that Chauncey, the scholar,
the diplomat, the Wit, the ready
speaker, whose performances at ban
quet boards have astonished and de-
lighted Anglo-Saxondom for a quarter
of a century, is pla giarist, and that
he gets his best sayings, that he draws
his political inspiration, as it were,
from the widely known editor? Heaven
forbid. Let us hope it is only another
illustration Of the truth of that obser-
walton made by some sage in self-de-
tense that great minds often drift in the
same channel.

WAR UNLIKELY WITH Beers.

Secretary Joseph Chamberlain of the
state department for the colonies has
informed parliament that the South
African situation is acute.
Notwithstanding repeated assurances
of a better feeling in the Transvaal
and President Kruger's expressed will
ingness to make reasonable and definite
concessions to the Outlanders, it seems
that Great Britain has gone right
ahead mobilizing her forces until, it is
reported, there are as many well dis
ciplined and thoroughly equipped Brit
ism soldiers at the portals of the Dutch
republic as there are male Beers over
the age of 16 within.
While it is folly for the strange little
nation, with its stranger people, to
measure swords with a great power
like Great Britain. it is safe to wager
that Kruger knows it and that the
shrewd old diplomat is only after bet
ter terms, and that war is farthest
from his real intentions.

But the protective tariff which nour-
ishes and encourages these industrial
monopolies will be defended in the
same platform and retained by Mr..
Hanna's party. How will he explain
that to the satisfaction of the Amer
lean people?
There is another matter that will
reed investigation in the coming cam
paign. If the Republican party is hos
tile to trusts and really anxious TO cur
tail their power and influence, why
hasn't it passed an antitrust law dur
ing the three years of GIcKinley's
reign? Why has a trust attorney from
the trust-breeding state of New Jersey
been given the position of attorney
general? Why was the attorney gen
erai of Mr.. Hanna's own state, whose
prosecutions Of these unlawful combi-
nations have made Ohio an unhealthy
cline for them, turned down in the
recent state convention that was con-
trolled by Hanna and Cox?
The Republican party will have the
executive and legislative branches Of
government next winter. Let US see
what stringent laws against the trusts
are enacted. If Chairman Hanna's
promises are kept as the civil service
pledges were kept by the administra-
ton, the people know what to expect.
