BELIEVING ITS FEELINGS.

On Tuesday evening the city council
refused to confirm the appointment of
Arthur Pratt as chief of police of Salt
Lake City.
Next morning the Tribune devoted
two columns of editorial space to an
expression of it's feelings. The gist of
it is found in the following synopsis:
Observation-Disclosures pite-ruffian Pratt
-writhe-gnaw the filer-gang of rob
acknowledgements - cheek = exercised
-Herald-police = recruiting station
congregation of hounds-base born
ruffians-file-gn awing = laughable-ha!
ha.-wretch, liar knave-ha! ha,-lying
organ-gang of dishonest officials
local thugs of the party-Dave Dunbar
Democratic leaders and thugs
baffled and angry senatorial candidate
Chief Pratt-old hungry crowd-scur-
Wy organ-zip, sizz, bang-whoop-old
time ussedness-inherent and ac-
ur''red depravity-liar, slave, knave,
hursethief-sl eath-and the villain still
pursued her.
Now that is fine exhibition of
coarse desperation. It is not only furi-
Gus but sulphurous.
Next time it gets so angry it should
try cursing aloud and throwing beer
glasses. This is more refined than its
wonted way, but fully as effective.
Poor old neighbor!

COURAGE AND CONSISTENCY.

Many goldbug papers of the east are
sneering at Bryan because the great
bimetallist refused the other day to
recognize a gang Of unrepentant boilers
as a Democratic organization.
Well, he ought to be used to it by this
time. But there is something in the
temper and conduct of Mckinley that
makes it rather embarrassing for Dem
ocratic boilers who helped elect him to
turn from their work and jeer at a
courageous, consistent man like Bryan.
AS one of the Belmont Crokerites said
recently to the New York Times:
while 1 do not believe in bimetal-
lism, free silver, or Organism OF any
kind, 1 am constrained to admire Will
liam J. Bryan for his courage and his
unequivocal expressions of his faith.
If, instead of arranging Combinations
at Jekyll Island for the next presiden-
tial campaign, Mr.. Hanna would invest
our president with a policy on the most
important questions before this great
land of ours, and give him permission
or authority to promulgate the same to
the American people, anti-Bryan wit
and humor would be still more enjoy
able"
Americans like a man whether they
agree with him or not; but a puppet
they despise.

CUBA REVIVING.

An official report has just been made
to the war department by the martial
government officials of Cuba. 1t
shows that trade is picking up, indus
trial life reviving, and the people
gradually becoming cheerful and hope
full.
The report states that during last
month, the statistics for the present
month not being available, 1,6U, S56
pounds Of tobacco in 13, ASS bales were
exported from Havana, 16,744, 400 CT
gars, 1919, 4o5 packages of cigarettes,
62,SzS pounds OF cut tobacco and S,916
pounds of leaf tobacco. Nearly all
this trade was with the United States
Ia addition to the tobacco, n,913,S64
pounds of other merchandise, chiefly
sugar. pineapples and preserved fruits,
was also exported.
ii also appears that during the month
1,S13 passengers arrived from the Unit
ed States, $50 from Spain and $40 from
other countries, a total of 3,O12, while
1872 left for the United States, 264 for
Spain and 81 for other countries, a to-
tai of 1858, or a gain of 1874
With patience, perseverance and ra-
tional treatment, Cuba will flourish like
the proverbial green bay tree, and bios
som like garden within two years.

SPANS GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

Holders of Spanish bonds are uneasy.
There are reasons for this. The Carlist
movement is threatening the kingdom
again. Another war would completely
bankrupt Spain. For several years the
government had been running behind.
Its colonial policy rendered Cuba and
the Philippines a burden rather than a
source of profit. The instructions cost
money. Spanish officials were robbing
the people, not only of the colonies, but
those of the peninsula. The imperial
treasury was looted by Spanish generals
and colonies under preteXt of serving
the crown. And the national debt con-
tinued to pile up and the taxes to in
crease and the people to groan and re-
sist.
Spain's consolidated debt, home and
foreign, is some $1,1OO, 100000. There is
besides debt to the Bank of Spain of
1890, 600, 900. The Cuban debt is var
iously stated, but it is estimated at
$4O0, 900, 900, an increase of $3.50, 100000 in
five years. This belongs to Spain yet
as the United States never assumed it.
Each nation pays its own bills. Dur
ing the same period the Philippine debt
increased from nothing to $40, 5000
What puzzles Spanish bondholders is
how Spain is going to pay these inn
mense sums now that the revenues from
Cuba, Porto Rico and the oriental arch
ipelago are cut off. There will be an
interval of delinquency in the payment
Of interest and a compromise with cred
itors will become necessary. 1t will be
a sort of proceeding in bankruptcy.
France Will be the chief sufferer.
French holders of Spanish bonds have
some 5000, O0O, 900 of that kind of 'ee-
curities,' and get between SIS coo, 900 and
$50, 100000 of interest on them There
was a Conversion in 1SS1-S2, after
which it was hoped that Spain would
always meet her obligations with ease.
But bad management soon brought
fresh deficits, and the island insurrec-
tons not only increased the expendi-

Manila. The Ninth infantry is under
way on board the Zealandia and the
Puebla. the Hancock will sail soon with
the Twenty first infantry; two other
ships will bear fourteen batteries of
light artillery. And as soon as the Ohio
and the Senator reach San Francisco,
it is the intention, if the war is not
sooner ended, to load them with troops
and dispatch them forthwith on the re-
turn trip to Manila. This will give Otis
a command of something like 10000
men, all told, besides the $500 men in
the navy.
AS to the equipment Of the infantry,
it is reported that the regular troops in
the Philippines are armed with the new
magazine rifle, thirty caliber, and have
used smokeless powder during the en-
tire campaign. The volunteers are
equipped with the old magazine rife of
forty-five caliber, and have been using
the old-fashioned black powder until
recently, when supplies of smokeless
powder reached them,
1t certainly seems that enough regu-
lars are reaching the scene of action TO
enable the volunteers to be mustered
out as soon as the backbone of the in
ssurrection is broken.

FORCES IN THE PHILIPPINES.

What is tie strength of the Ameri-
can army and navy in the Philippines. -
asks a correspondent, and how are the
ipfantrymen armed?"
Admiral George Dewey has a power
full squadron there at present, which is
useful only in Smelling the towns near
the coast. Few Of the vessels can be
taken into the rivers or channels. His
squadron is as follows:
The battleship Oregon.
The double turreted monitors Monad-
mock and Monterey.
The protected cruisers Baltimore.
Buffalo, Olympia, Boston and Charles
ton.
The gunboats Bennington, Castine,
Concord, Helena, Petrol, Princeton and
Yorktown.
The late Spanish cruisers Don Juan
de Austria and Isla de Cuba, and the
late Spanish gunboats Callao, Culgoa.
Isla de Luzon, Manila. Mindanao and
Leyte; the Solace, Iris and Monocacy.
on these ships there are 375 officers
and about 1920 men.
1t almost, if not quite, equals the
English squadron in the Orient. and it
is far superior to the fleets of any tive
other powers in Asiatic waters
LJajor General Otis has an army in
the Philippines Of $4,000, the size of our
standing army before the war with
Spain. This army OF conquest and oc-
cupaGion consists Of the First, or Mac
Arthur's division. operating north of
the Pasig river, and the Second. or
Lawtons division, south of the Pasig.

Maude Warrilow, the Stephanus, and
Mr.. w. f. Bonney, the Nero Of THE
Sign of the Cross" company, were mar
ried in that city on Monday.
"a Hot Old Time must be the proper

Tonight occurs the Godowsky recital

]. j. Daynes, jr., the local manager
of the Ellis Opera company, reports an
immense rush at the opening of the
sale of seats yesterday. Something
near $500 was subscribed before the sale
opened. Charles Strine, the business
manager of the company, is looking
over the field and feels very confident
of a great success here.
The visit of the Ellis company will be
an event of the season, and undoubted-
~ this music-loving community will
completely fill the tabernacle. 1t is
limited that if the people Of Salt Lake
accord the concert Saturday night a
sufficient amount of patronage, that Mr..
ElIis may be induced to give brief
season of grand opera here another sea-
son. This; then, will be an opportunity
for those who desire such a season, to
show it in substantial way. The New
York Symphony orchestra, together
with Nine. Gadsili and the other sing
ers, will constitute an unusually strong
attraction. Madame Gadski has won
her greatest successes as Elizabeth in
''Tannhauser" and Elsa in "Lohengrin.'
Nine Olitzka, the contralto, will be
heard in the ''Nobil Signor" aria from
Les Huguenots," and also in the duet
from the second act of "Lohengrin''
with Mime. Gadski. Mr.. Van Hoose will
sing the "Lohengrin Narrative, " be-
sides two duets with the prima donna.
The other soloists are Mr.. Rains, the
basso, who was SO well received here
last season, and Herr Stehmann, who
is leading baritone of the company.
Herr Richard Fried will be the con-
ductor of the performance.

NOTHING is EXEMPT.

In enumerating the various indus
tries and branches of business which
have been organized into trusts dur
ing this Mckinley administration, The
Herald recently remarked that every
thing had been gobbled up in this way
that capital cared to control-"every-
thing but the air we breathe and the
water we drink"
1t seems that this was an error. Next
day it was announced that a mammoth
pump trust had been formed in the
east. And now thes word comes that
q. gigantic combination has been incor-
porated in New Jersey, with a capital
of SIS, 0O0O 600, for the purpose of selling
compressed air in capsules.
There is no escape, it seems. This is
an era of trusts. The administration
puts its trust in trusts, while the
common people still read the motto
on the silver dollar. But Mckinley
even threatens to deprive them of that.

AsToUNDINGl

Does the present chief of police per-
form the official duties for which he is
paid merely to put people under per-
sonal obligations to him?
From the tone of his organ it would
seem 50. Yesterday it said:
Every possible pressure was brought
70 bear on Democratic councilmen
who were thought to be kindly disposed
toward the chief. 1t was believed
that Chief Pratt's promptness in run
ming down the men who broke into
President Barnes store would make
that councilman's enmity toward the
officer cool in some degree"
Who would ever think of mentioning
a matter of that kind but Arthur Pratt?
What public newspaper would have
printed it but Pratts peep-hole organ?
SO the chief catches burglars in or
der to claim the support of their vic
tins, Ell? In order to reproach men of
an opposite party for not giving him
their suffrage?
When did a chief Of police descend
10 such petty prostitution of his posi-
ton before?
