the presentation of those various
branches cannot be estimated.
The musical talent Of the college
was very much in evidence and
contributed much to the enjoy
ment of the different meetings.
The LIST Regt. Band and the Man
dolin Club are to be congratulated
on their performances which were
heartily appreciated by all present.
Below, we give somewhat detail
ed resume of the program. 1t
must be remembered, however,
that our representative, is a college
student himself, and could not be
present at all the meetings. He
has, however, done the very best
possible, and the REGISTER is in
debted to him for his services.
The Proceedings opened We'd
nesdsy afternoon, when Mayor G..
A. Matthews gave an address of
welcome, to which /. d. Aldrich of
Milbank, was expected to respond.
Owing to unforeseen circumstances,
Mr.. Aldrich was not able to be
present, and his place was taken
by Rev. Thraul of Huron. This
gentleman also addressed the stud
ents at their assembly, Wednes-
day noon, and pleased all by his
excellent remarks. DR.. Heston
was down for an address, but, as
stated above, he was unable to be
present. Prof. Shepard spoke in
his absence, and his address was
highly appreciated. At 7:30 the
evening session was opened with
q selection by the band under
Prof. Hustled. This was followed
by an address by Prof. j. e. Todd,
Estate Geologist, Of Vermillion.

Last week Thursday Congress-
man Wheeler of Kentucky sur
prised the supporters of the bill
to give Spain $40, 100000 in pay
ment for the loss of her possess
ions, by raising the point that it
would be out of order to make the
appropriation before Spain had
signed the peace treaty. His
point of order was sustained and
the bill was knocked out.

BoER DETERMINATION.

An organ of Imperialism which would
justify NIcKinley's policy in the Philip
pines by a defense of Great Britain S
land grabbing in South Africa, speaks
of the rugged piety and old-fashioned
religion of the Beers. saying: 1T is an
enlightened savagcry which can only
be beaten by determination.
The Beers are Christians; they have
a strong moral sense; they are true to
each other; they respect family ties;
they build meeting houses and attend
divine services regularly; they are pro-
verbally honest; they respect property
rights: with all the encroachment of
outsiders they never resorted to savage
methods in self-defense; they never at
tempted to save themselves by acts OF
treaohery; all their resistance has been
by legislation and diplomacy except
when invasion was threatened or at
tempted. There is nothing savage in
this. There is no excuse for the exter-
mination of so hardy. so honest. so de-
voted, if primitive and stolid, a people
as the Beers.
Imperialists will gain little for their
cause in this country by trying to JUS
tify England's war of determination in
the Transvaal.

WHAT ABOUT CITY cREEKq

Referring to the extension of the City
creek water system yesterday, The
Herald stated that 1.-The work was to be
done according to the plans and speci-
fcations furnished by City Engineer
Kelsey, and under the supervision of
the superintendent of waterworks."
This contained slight to the city
engineer which we hasten to set Alright.
AS a matter of fact the resolution
passed by the council authorized the
work to be done under Mr.. Kelsey's
direct supervision as well as according
to his plans and specifications. The su-
perintendent of waterworks was merely
authorized to act as overseer, or boss
of the men, subject to the engineer.
Yet three eminent Republicans, sup
porters of Candidate Thompson, en-
joined the city from making this need
ed improvement, depriving the public
of the use of this water all summer
and preventing men from engaging in
the work of construction.
If Republicans were so anxious for
pure water and more water, why didn'
they protest against the action of these
party leaders, instead of giving it their
approval?

stretch of military authority" said
President Gompers, for any officer to
declare any organization of innocent
men guilty of an infamous crime. and
for General Merriam to characterize the
Miners union as a criminal organiza-
ton was utterly uncalled for
President Gompers said further, and
We have yet to hear of the first mem
Der of a labor union in this city or
state TO find fault with the assertion,
that the Miners union has the best
interest of the country at heart, while
it is the mailed hand of militarism that
is undermining the country.
So we repeat our questions. Is Pres
ident Gompers an alder and abettor of
criminals? Is he defending "a band of
murderers and fncendiaries''2 Doesn' t
he care how many decent men are
killed IN northern Idaho''2 Doesn't he
care how much property is de-
stroyed"? Is this the inference we must
draw from our neighbours remarks
Are the laboring men of this city and
state, the members of local unions who
entertained President Gompers during
his visit to Salt Lake, who gave their
approval to his remarks in the the
atre-are these men to be included in
the Tribune's sweeping charge as hay
ing encouraged murderers and incen-
diaries to go on with their work.?
Now that its own columns are intro
duced in evidence, our contemporary
may desire TO amend it's answer.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-31
WHAT GoMPERs SAID.

When President Gompers was in Salt
Lake City last May he delivered an
address to the laboring men OF the
community-an address which met
with the hearty approval of every
member of a labor union who heard
it. In the course OF that address
President Gompers said: 1T is my
candid opinion that no member of the
Miners union was guilty of the das-
tardly act by which property and life
were destroyed (referring to the trou-
BILE at Wardner). and I am sure that
no such deed was instigated or ap-
proved by any labor organization
This version is corroborated by the
Tribune's report of his speech, which
appeared in that paper on the 18th of
May. 1899, and IS as follows:
Strikes are not the labor movement. but
-nlN incidental 10 it. We try TO prevent
them. The strikers at the Sullivan and
Bunker Hill mines were non-union men.
The best way 10 prevent strikes is to or
gaRize and prepare for them. There is
no power 50 potent to prevent strikes
as well-organiZed wage-earners. Mr.
GomperS did not believe that any member
Of the Miners union was guilty of the
dastardiy act by which property and life
were destroyed. Ii was large stretch
of military authority for any officer to de-
clare any rganiZaU0n of innocent men
guilty OF infamous crime, and for General
Merriam 10 characterize the Miners union
as "A criminal organization was utterly
uncaned for. BY what authority does
this soldier of fortune say that men shall
not work unless they renOunce their con-
nection with the uniOnf The Miners unioD
has the best interest of the country at
heart while il is the mailed hand OF mil
itarism that is undermining the country.
1t is nothing unusual for our morn
ing contemporary to deny assertions it
made a year ago. but this appeared in.
its columns less than six months ago
too soon by far TO enable it to mislead
the laboring men of this community.
In the light of its own report. what
must its readers think of the follow
ing from its editorial of yesterday?
The Herald says that Gompers de
clared his honest BELIEF that no member
of the Miners union was guilty of the
dastardly act by which property and life
were destroyed lie said no such thing.
President Gompers not only said
what The Herald claimed that he said.
but he went a great deal farther. ac-
cording to the Tribune's own state
ment He denounced the federal au-
thorities for doing what the local Re
publican organ is doing, for making in
discriminate accusations against an
entire organization Of laboring men. for

tendencies that it can't be duplicated

MISUNDERSTANDING POWERS.

1t must be for some sinister purpose
that the local Hanna organ insists on
putting Judge Powers in false light
before the people of Utah. 1t tries to
make it appear that the judge is an
advocate of Imperialism, an apologist
for Algerism and Otisism, a champion
of conquest and a defender of such
policies of the present administration.
Yesterday it said:
Those were body blows that Judge
Powers gave Judge King and Senator
Rawlins on Saturday night
BY this it seeks to create the impress
sion that Judge Powers undertook to
introduce discord into what was really
a most harmonious and enthusiastic
meeting. That Judge Powers took ad-
vantage of such an occasion to dispute
with the other gentlemen named when
they are certainly in full accord with
the Democratic party on the question
OF Philippine retention, is absurd.
Judge Powers is neither opposing Dem
ocratic principles nor favoring Repub-
lican policies.

COMMITTED sAcRlLEGE.

The secret of our neighbours insane
dislike for President Barnes of the city
council leaked out in an editorial yes
terday
Did he not fight the engineer" That
settles il. If he fought the engineer he
-esmmitted sacrilege, in the eyes of our
neighbor. If he failed to take off his
hat when that august parsonage ap-
pears in the distance Mr.. Barnes was
guilty of 1ese majeste. If he ever con-
tradicted a statement OF the engineer
ire Democratic candidate for mayor
was profane.
1t doesn't matter that Mr.. Barnes
has been a careful, contentious, pains
taking cfiicial, that he has always had
the welfare of the public at heart. that
he has done all that any man could do
under the circumstances to lift the city
from the slough of despond, into which.
according to the non-partisan address,
the Republicans left it two years ago:
If he failed TO salaam at the sight Of
the great c. f.. he is doomed to worry
along the rest of his days without the
approval of Hanna's local mouthpiece.
It is an awful fate TO overtake a man
in the prime OF life, but if Mr.. Barnes
viii wait until the election returns get
in. he viii have ample consolation for
this awful attack.

Padua he made a large equestrian
statue of the famous general of the
Venetian army Erasmus Narni, bet
ter known as Gattamelata This is said
to have been the first equestrian statue
since the time of the Romans. He also
carved many wooden statues, generally
for churches.
So the man worked on, achieving
success after success. leaving in al
most everything he touched the mark
of his great genius, but all through his
career neither adulation nor success
had the slightest effect on his char
acter. To the end of his long life of
eighty years he remained simple,
natural and unaffected. 1t is said fiat
he was not only loved by all who knew
him, but that he never lost a friend
The great Cosimo de Medici was not
only his patron, he was his warm
friend, but, though he enjoyed an in
timacy with the sculptor he never
succeeded in making him fashionable
after the manner of the set with which
the rich man mingled. Once thinking
that Donatello did not dress as hand
somely as he ought, Cosimo sent him
as a present a rich scarlet cloak, a cap
and q doublet. Donatello wore this
finery but once, and then he returned
the gorgeous raiment, saying that it
made him very uncomfortable. On the
death of Cosimo he recommended the
sculptor to the keeping of his son, who
gave the artist a. country house at
Caffagiuolo. For awhile Donatello
was delighted at being q landed pro-
prietor, but in the end, after a years
ownership, he begged to be relieved of
the burden and responsibility of the
property. Pietro de Medici made him
happy by giving him a settled pension,
and from that time he lived simply in
a modest house with his mother and
a. widowed sister. for he never married
He was a bohemian in the best sense
of the word enjoying the companion
ship Of his brother artists and the
mild joys of his home life
on Dec. Is. 1865, after having been a
long time paralyzed, he died in his own
where Cosimo already had prepared for
him a sepuIcher. Donatello had many
pupils, some of whom occupied i'm
portant positions in the history of
italian sculpture. Among them may
be mentioned Bertoldo di Giovanni,
Nanni di Antonio di Banco, Vallano da
Padua, Desiderio da Settignano and
Michelozzo- Michelnzzi. Some of these
initiated the master to a surprising de-
gree, but none of them reached his
excellence. There is an ineffable
charm about all the work of Donatello
that is difficult to describe, but which
is instantly realized and by the power
Of his individuality, the exquisite deli
cacy of his technique and the spiritu-
atty of his idealizations he must be
counted among the very foremost of
the sculptors of all times. Scarcely
a painter or a sculptor since his day
has been uninflueneed at some time or
other by his work, for there are those
qualities of sincerity delicacy or sim
pIicity that have attracted the artistic
mind and held it with absorbing in
terest. Above all, there is the wonder
full quality of distinction in every
thing that Donatello did.

warning people to keep away from a
spot so infected with disease and inn
morality. Day after day it tries to in
fame the public mind against the state,
against the city, against the people. 1t
is constantly working to arouse the
prejudice of the outside world, to
array neighbors against each other, to
keep the community in a constant
ferment, to awaken old animosities, TO
tear open healing wounds, to disturb
business relations and blacken the
character Of the commonwealth.

sLANDERING THE STATE.

Residents of Utah who have inVesti-
gated public sentiment in the east re-
port that a great deal of interest is
shown IN the wealth and resources OF
Utah, Senator Peery found it so. Mr..
Neieen discovered the same feeling
everywhere he went. but with it a
doubt upon the part of men looking for
Investments doubt based upon the
agitation Of storm starters.
The world has been given to under
stand by these croakers and calamity
hoxiers. these politicians masquerad-
ing as moral reformers and seeking to
identify themselves with a religious
crusade which had its origin in par
dsanship, wherever it may have drifted
to stree. that Utah is a nest OF law
aaseakers, a hotbed Of immortality, the
home OF lust and intemperance.
Day after day for s. year or more
tie local Republican newspaper has
tried TO injure this state and this city
in the eyes OF the nation, to make
capitalists believe that the courts of
the state are not to be relied upon TO
enforce the laws, that it is necessary
to appeal to congress TO prevent the
neoule from violating their contracts.
and that crime and corruption are so
prevalent in Utah that men have to
decIain against them from the house
tons To zaarn other people to keep
away.
The local Republican organ has been
the most active and persistent OF these
libeiers of the community. 1t has re-
oeatealy declared;
That the state is dominated by
Asiatic influences.
>. That the people Of Utah are
niedgc-breakers anG law-breakers,
either directly or indir ectly, as princi-
mails or accessories. as criminals in
fact or in sympathy.

SILVER CANNOT BE KILLED.

The Washington Star says that silver
is sure to be the paramount issue in the
coming campaign. This is made douby
sure by the determination of the Re
pubiicans in the next congress to force
the fight by abandoning all hope of in
ternational bimetallism and declaring
unequivocally for the single gold stand
ard. A measure has already been pre-
pared, the Republican caucus has
agreed to it and the president has ap-
proved it, legalizing the existing gold
standard, authorizing all lawful money
bonds to be redeemed by gold bonds,
and giving the bankers trust a monop-
oily of the paper money business.
This will bring on the fight in a few
months, and the battle will wage until
after the election next year. The Post
says there is another reason why silver
viii be predominant in the issues of
the coming campaign. This it explains
as follows:
Mr.. Bryan is to be the candidate in 1900,
and he will be placed on a IS to l platform.
This is as certain as anything in the flu
ture can be- He is not taking up anti
expansion and anti-trUsts as substitutes
for, but as achievements of. free coin
age. He has threatened that if elected to
the presidency he will use silver in meet
ing the obligations of the government.
That would put our finances on silver
basis.
What can prevent the silver issue
from being paramount in 1900, as it is
today, and as it has been since it was
made a, party question in 1896? Its
death, which local goldbug agent has
announced so often of late? IF that
issue be among the Dead" says the
Post, will some of the authorities that
pronounce it defunct be kind enough to
state when and where it died, and
point out the place of its interment."

It is almost as good as a circus to
watch the face of our contemporary
change from grief to rage as it CON
templates the features of silver Repub-
licans who can neither be coaxed or
driven back into the regular Repub-
lican organization. Six months ago it
was ready to cry its eyes out over the
neglect of silver Republicans, and it
denounced the Democrats of Utah in
its choicest billingsgate for not placing
the name of some man like Frank b
Stephens on the Democratic ticket. No
sooner was Mr.. Stephens nominated,
however, than the moumer began to
find fault with the party for naming
him, and yesterday it threw off all re-
serve and began to storm at him in a
fit of rage. What a consummate hypo-
critic it takes to weep and pray for
something and then howl when it hap
pens.
