ENCOURAGED THE TAGALS,

"Aguinaldo has been encouraged to
kill our soldiers shrieks an echo Of
Hanna's local mouthpiece. How has he
been encouraged to do this? A certain
so-called newspaper compared him to
George Washington, immortalized his
cause against the Spaniards, and made
him think that he was the whole thing
while the American troops were only
his allies. This pulled Aggie up and
encouraged the Tagals to regard their
rights as paramount, consequently
when Merritt went to Manila direct
from Washington City and ignored the
Filipinos from the day of his arrival,
according to the Republican organ,
they were piqued, disappointed; they
began to brood over the change, and
when the presidents message of con-
graduation to SPANS emancipated
West Indian celonists contained no as
surance for them. they revolted, being
a revengeful people taught treachery
by European masters.
The only newspaper that ever did this
was the Salt Lake Tribune. If the ira
gals have been encouraged to kill
American soldiers, our neighbor is at
the bottom of it.

The president seems fatally bent on CIV
of a great moral issue. which will take
an abiding hold upon the consciences or
the American people in the next cam
paign. He IS determined TO commit it to
tine championship Of oppression. violence
and excessive 1axation-to appeal to a free
people for Endorsement upon an unsavory
record, in which an abandonment of our
most cherished traditions. the enSlave-
ment of an allen people and the creation
OF n large and expensive standing army
and navy shall be the most prominent
feature.
To this, sir. as a Republican. 1 am uu-
alterably opposed.
Those who feel that they are defend
ing the country, or even assisting the
Republican party by approving the
presidents policy of forcible anneNa-
ton are mistaken. and Mr.. Johnson
isn't the only member Of the party with
courage enough to tell them so. They
are pleasing Chairman Hanna and his
president, but it is a questionable ale
glance they are rendering to the coun-
try or the party in so doing.

SOME REPUBLICAN TRAITORS.

Among the Republicans who are try
ing to prevent Hanna from leading the
party away from the path pointed out
by Lincoln are some of the founders
and MANY OF the. brainiest men of the
party. There are Hoar, Edmunds, Hale.
Henderson, Mason, Wellington, Reed.
Spooner and Foraker, all Republicans
Of note and influence, and all opposed
to Philippine retention.
Congressman Henry U. Johnson. one
of the most brilliant orators who ever
occupied a seat in the lower house. a
scholar and a statesman of extraor-
binary abilities, has warned his party
repeatedly Of the morass into which
blind avarice at its head is leading it
and the nation. He denounced the pol
icy of the president in the interest of
his party. He wanted to do his part
he said, towards preserving for the
party of Lincoln the confidence. the
sympathy, the respect of the American
people; but more than this, he desired
to see the word of the government kept
and the Institutions of this free repub-
lie preserved.
Mr.. Johnson made a speech in an In
diana town not long ago in which he
referred to his position in congress last
winter, and reafiirmed it. In his ar
raignment of imperialism and militar-
ism he said:

PREPARING FOR 1900.

Time was when the local organ or
RepubIicanism held that local utilization
with Hanna's organization was giving
aid and encouragement to the worst
enemies of this republic. 1t wanted
Mckinley men kept out Of local offices
on the ground that 'every gain made
by the followers of Arthur Brown was
an encoura cement to the goldbugs to
continue their enslavement Of the peo-
pie" In endorsed the address Of the
silver Republicans OF the state. issued
in april, 1898, in which some $4,000 ex-
Republicans. or silver Republicans, :"
as they were called, made this official
declaration:
We point to the fact that the ma
tional Republican party of the Unit
ed States has abandoned the cause of
bimetallism, and that local adher-
ence to the national Republican or
ganization is afiliating with gold
monometsllism and oppression of the
people.
Since then the organ has seen great
light Six months after its endorse
ment of that sentiment it sanctioned,
yes. encouraged, the dishanding of the
silver Republican organization and en-
dorsed a platform which renewed the
allegiance of Utah Republicans to the
national Republican organization. One
year from the time that address was
made to the people of this state our
neighbor suddenly discovered that the
buxom silver lass with whom it has
been sitting up of nights was a corpse. .
Then the widely known editor went
down to Washington to make arrange
inents with Undertaken Hanna and
Sexton Gage for her burial.
There was a time when the Repub-
lican organ claimed that every indorse-
ment of a regular Republican ticket, or
a candidate who stood upon the st.
Louis platform, was "a black eye to
bimetallism" and "an act of treason to
the people of the west
What a change, 1t has become a
goldbug of the lowest type-one who
knows the truth but follows error, who
b. has preached the gospel but bows be-
fore the altar OF the golden calf. 1t IS
trying now to form in this city, in this
municipal campaign, the nucleus OF a
coldbug organization for the state
whose support will be given to Mckin-
ley. the known enemy of bimetallism,
and to Hanna, the arch eonsDirator
against the liberties Of the people ana
their sovereignty.
In this it hopes to succeed, from all
appearances, more than it hopes for in
the civ election.

SUCH A FRIEND OF LABOR.

The Tribune continues to refer TO the
members of the Miners union as incen-
diaries and murderers at heart. In
support of its indiscriminate denun-
citation il quotes an Idaho paper which
evidently feels the same way about it.
Now. The Herald would like to see
every man connected with the explosion
at Wardner punished TO the limit of the
law. The criminals deserve it, the pro-
lection OF society requires it, and the
welfare OF the Miners union demands
it. No one suffers from such calamities
more than do the miners themselves,
and they are not the fools some wise
acres try to make them out. Every
lawless act in the course of a strike
Injuries the cause of labor more than it
hurts the property sacrificed. 1t is to
the interest of labor unions everywhere
to preserve the peace in order to pro-
tect their organization from the ma
lfcious assaults of agents and cham
piops of trusts and corporations.
Therefore it is absurd TO hold every
member of the Western Federation of
Miners responsible for the crime COM
mitted at Wardner and to accuse every
delegate who attended the miners con-
vention Of being an accessory to the
crime and a murderer at heart. as the
local Republican organ has done re-
peatedly.
It is froth and folly for the Tribune
to declare that whoever resents its
wholesale charges of crfminality against
the Miners union is defending crime
We have yet to hear OF any one claim
ing that the eulprits ought to so I'M
punished or even be dealt with lenient-
IL. But the trouble with our neighbor
is that when a member of labor or
ganization is mixed up in any lawless-
ness the whole organization is treated
as a band OF criminals: when a member
of churcs breaks the law the whole
church is denounced as n nursery of
crime: when a citizen is guilty of a
breach of contract the whole comrnun-
ity is assailed as a nest of pledge
breakers. It IS a radical, an extremist
When it gets angry at a man it curses
his whole family. It is governed by
hate and passion, rather than by toler-
ance and reason.
Doubtless it holds President Gompers
of the National Federation of Labor
equally guilty of the Wardner crimes.
in his speech in this city last summer
Mr.. Gompers said that the strikers at
the Sullivan and Bunker Hill mines
were non-union men," He declared his
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-29

honest belief that mo member of the
Miners union was guilty of the das-
tardly act by which property and life
We're destroyed"
Not long since Mr.. Gompers had &C.
casion to refer to the Wardner trouble
in the east, and he expressed the same
opinion. saying that he had "investi-
gated the matter in the interest Of Or
ganized labor" Is he an alder and
abettor of criminals? Doesn't he care
.'how many decent men are killed in
northern Idaho?" Doesn't he care how
much property is Destroyed" Is this
the inference we must draw from our
neighbor's remarks? When President
Gompers lectured in this city few
weeks ago he was introduced by Arthur
+. Graham, president of the Salt Lake
Federation of Labor. On the platform
with him were John Hanhauser, George
y. Whitaker, A. Bernstein, F. De Vein,
r. G. Sieater, George Taylor, William
Pickering, James B. Quinn, Gus Shae-
fer, H. Z. Rawlings, S. w. r. Brown,
Charles Bishoff. William Ness, Hugh
Mclean, ]. r. Tretheway, f. L. Gard
ner and Charles Hoffman. Are these
men to be included in the Tribune's
sweeping charge as having encouraged
murderers and incendiaries to go on
with their work?"
1t avails the Republican organ moth
ing to point to its past record on silver,
tariff. expansion, war or labor. No one
can travel in this age with his back to
the front, forever pointing and looking
at his achievements or sentiments of
long ago. The people want to know
Where do you stand? and whittier are
you bound? The day of "has beens"
has gone, it seems, forever; and it
is nothing to the credit of a libeler of
labor unions today to show that it rec
ognized their worth in days gone by,
any more than it is to the credit of one
of Hanna's political aides to say that
he advocated the free coinage of silver
for forty years.

The faculty of terse and forceful speech
is ordinarily an advantage, but occasion
ally man gets hoisted by his own cpl
gram. A hustIing young New Yorker who
was recently established in a branch OF
the oil business had sent out to get the
patronage of certain firm. The head of
the concern was reluctant to make a
change.
The oil we have been getting has not
been unsatisfactory" said he, "and | fail

there any extra inducements You can Of
fer? How do you propose to improve ON
the old quality?"
In this way was his prompt answer:
Il propose to give the business my per-
sonal attention. l intend to put some of
my brains into every barrel of oil we send
out
The rejoinder pleased the old gentleman,
and he became a customer.
A few months later the hustling young
man was obliged to make a journey and
in his absence through some oversight,
the quality of oil was allowed to deterior-
ate. 1t was quickly noted and a letter
now on file in the office records one of the
protests. 1t reads: Gentlemen: When
we were induced to use your product we
were assured that Mr.. Blank put some of
his brains into every barrel of oil. We
deeply regret to observe that Mr.. Blank is
threatened with paresis."

cANADA's CONCESSIONS.

In their proposition to give up some
of the gold country in dispute provided
the United States government first ac-
knowledges the right of Great Britain
to the harbor which commands the
situation, Canadian statesmen simply
show their resourcefulness and fore
sight
Sir Louis Henry Davis has given out
Great Britain's final proposition. Ar
bitration. following the precedents laid
downs in the Venezuelan controversy,
will be agreeable to Canada, provid-
ing certain concessions are made in
advance "Skagway and Dyea would
be conceded to the United States with
out further claims if Canada received
Pyramid Harbor."
AS the Venezuelan dispute was set
tied after the manner of "a bishops
court" decree, dividing the property in
controversy between the contestants
regardless of right or title-a compro-
mise based more upon desire to secure
peace than to render exact justice-we
rather suspect that 1.-The lady of the
SHOWS has a little the best of Uncle
Sam in this affair.
Pyramid Harbor commands the in
terror to a considerable area, which may
account for Canada wishing to get
possession of it before the arbitration
agreement is finally and formally sub
mitted.
While any settlement in reason is
preferable to war, it would be interest
ing to know whether the United States
government purchased a lot of ocean
from Russia, as Canadians insist. or a
certain tract of land such as the treaty
of 1926 describes. Certainly the United
States understood she was getting the
land and Russia understood she was
ceding the land.

Evan p. Howell tells the New York Tel
egraph a rather good story about a south
erner who brought suit some years ago
against the South Carolina railroad for
damages TO his property. He lost the case
in the superior court. but insisted upon
carrying it to the supreme court where he
represented his own cause. He began his
argument by saying, whimsically:
May il please the court, there is an Old
French adage which says: a man who
is his own lawyer hath a fool for a
client.
The next week tine supreme court pro-
nounced its decision. which was adverse
to the southerner. He was in Augusta at
the time, but received the announcement
of his second and final disappointment by
means of a telegram sent him by prom
inent judge, who was an intimate friend
of his. The telegram read as follows:
