POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT.

The first step has been taken by the
administration party in the direction
pointed out by Wall street magnates.
The house committee on coinage,
weights and measures has made its re-
port.
# adopted the scheme submitted will
not only place the finances of this coun-
! try upon gold basis, but will destroy
the present legal tender value of sill
yer money and will make it redeem
able in gold.
This is clearly the policy of the pres
| ent administration, and has been from
the time of McKinley's inauguration.
Every Republican who endorses and
applauds the policies of the president
knows this.
Currency reformers, for these silver
killers so style themselves, have been
acting with the advice and consent of
President Mckinley all along. He rec
commended their views to congress in a
special message, and urged immediate
action in carrying them out in his last
annual message.
That Utah Republicans may under
stand exactly where they are at" in
renewing allegiance to the Hanna or
ganization and endorsing the policies
of the administration, their attention is
called to this measure. It provides
that
l. The standard of value in the Unit
ed States shall be the gold dollar.
.. No silver dollars are to be coined
after the bullion now in the treasury is
used.
3. Even this silver is to be coined at
the discretion of the secretary Of the
treasury, and into subsidiary coin.
4. Greenbacks are to be retired as fol-
lows:
For the first five years, an amount
equal to the increase of national bank
notes issued subsequent to taking eff
feet of the act; 20 per cent 10 be retired
annually during the next five years;
and greenbacks to cease to be legal ten
der at the end of ten years.
5. a national bank trust, with almost
unlimited power to expand or contract
the currency, is to be established.
The measure repeats all existing reg
ulations on the withdrawal and issue
of national bank notes at will; banks
may issue notes to full value of bonds
deposited. National banks with a CAPT.
tai of $4,000 and in cities of 1000 pop
uIation may be established, and pro-
vides for the establishment of branch
banks under authority of the controller
of the currency.
The bill further stipulates that gold

PROUD OF ITS WORK.

When the Tribune had its anti Utah
agitation under fairly good Roadway it
stood off and viewed the storm with as
much pride as the small boy exhibits
when he gets a confagration started
in the stack-yards. 1t danced about in
glee and pointed to it's rising storm in
the east" with the significant Obser-
vation-"We told you So"
Then it 'swelled up like a toad and
strutted around. as if to say: See
what we can do to people who won't
obey the Tribune"
It actually did remark: 1.-THE Herald
didn't think that we could accomplish
this" And it chuckIed to itself again
and again.
Now these are facts substantiated by
the columns of the storm-starter. and
no amount of shifting, shutting or ex-
planning can hide them from view.
So when the Tribune announces that
business men who go through the east
trying TO induce capital to locate in
Utah meet with rebuffs on account of
the Roberts agitation, it is only another
way our morning contemporary has of
boasting of the conhagration it started
in a most inflammable sentiment; it is
only another way of telling The Herald
and the people of Utah how much in
jury the Tribune can do the state when
the majority of the people of the state
defy the Tribune's owner.

BLAINE ON BlMETALLISM.

The attitude of the administration on
the monetary issue and the practical
unanimity of the dominant party in
favor of the single gold standard shows
how completely the influence of the
money lenders has taken hold of the
Republican organization.
It is the element represented by
Hanna, Gage & Co. 1t was represent
ed by Morgan in the Cleveland admin
istration, but the Democratic party
took the first opportunity to repudiate
the whole gang. They turned their at
tention to a party they found it pcs
sible to control, however, and its poll
cies are their policies, its money their
money.
What a change was wrought in the
sentiments, the teachings of the Repub-
Iican party when Hanna was appointed
its receiver in 1896. AS its acknowl-
edged leader he has no use for paper
money issued by the government, nor
for silver under any circumstances, ex-
cept as small change.
Twenty years ago the party had other
ideas, other Ideals, other leaders. 1t is
interesting to note the difference be-
tween the financial policy then pro-
fessed, and that enunciated in the bill
just reported to the house of the ma
tional congress.
In the United States senate Feb. y,
1878 (see Congressional Record, pages
S20-S22) James G. Blaine said:
4 believe the struggle now going on
in this country and other countries for
a single gold standard, would. if sue
cessful, produce widespread disaster in
the end throughout the world. The de-
struction of silver as money and es-
tabHshing gold as the sole unit of value
must have ruinous effect on all forms
Of property except those investments
which yield a fixed return in money.
These would be enormously enhanced
in value, and would gain a dispropor-
tionate and unfair advantage over
every other species of property"

Troubles of a Genius.
Detroit Free Press.l

Some men that have average or
more than average intelligence in GER
tain directions, seem to lack even the
protection OF instinct in other direc-
tions. You've heard the old story of
the man who got on the wrong side of
the saw while trimming a tree and
never realized his error until he had
dropped twenty feet to hard ground
Well, sir, L have a true incident to
match it,
Go ahead" was urged upon the
philosopher, who is one of Detroit's big
ice dealers.
a chap came to me early in the
season and wanted me to invest in an
ice-cutting machine he had invented.
He tried to tell me all about it, but
simply told him to get his machine out
on the ice and put it to work as soon
as we commenced operations. If it
would do what he claimed for it, we
terms. l happened to be on the field
the morning of his appearance. but was
too busy experimenting affairs to give
him or his device any special attesl-
ton.
Suddenly there was a great yelling,
sputtering and calling for help. We
fished my inventive friend out of the
water, half drowned and half frozen.
His machine had started, under the ice,
for a journey toward Niagara Falls"
How did the thing happen ?"
Nothing accidental about it. The
machine was made to cut circular
pieces of ice. The whole trouble with
the thing was that the genius and his
machine had to stand in the center of
the fated circle while working"

in the national congress or by the le-
gislatures of other states of the Union
The Tribune has told the people of
the east that the legislators now as
sembled are corruptible and has tried
to create an impression in a sneaking,
vicious way, that a candidate for the
senate whom it opposes for business
and personal reasons is corrupting
them. 1t does this. although his sup
port is made up of men whose honor
and incorruptibility are such that P. H.
Lannan dare not attack it himself but
must hire it done.
The Tribune is altogether too modest
when it hesitates about claiming its
full share of the credit, as it doubtless
regards it in the light Of credit, for
creating distrust of Utah with the
marked copies it has been sending east
to make it impossible to enlist the
friendship of capitalists and business
men in the resources of Utah.

Whipped Dewey.
CNew York Press,

T. X. Pangborn, the only man who
ever thrashed Dewey. told the story at
the annual dinner of the Vermont asso-
citation of Boston at the Vendome hotel
tonight. He said that the story had
never before been correctly told.
Dewey and several others had broken
up the school in Burlington one winter,
he said The hero of Manila and his
comrades actually threw several of the
teachers out of the schoolhouse into the
cold snowbank Poor little Mr.. Pang-
born only weighed ninety pounds at the
time. Dewey weighed more.
The lightweight tutor took the school,
however, and when trouble began
again ne went into the muss so quickly
that Dewey and the other boys were
completely surprised. He whipped
Dewey. had another by the throat on
the floor and had placed the rioters out
of action before they knew just what
had happened. There was no more
trouble in the school after that
Young Dewey had taken his lesson like
a man, and he was the best behaved
boy in the school that winter.
A letter was read from the admiral
thanking the association on behalf of
himself and his officers and men q
resolutions previously passed by the
association. 1T is a signal honor he
wrote, coming from such a body of
men, and will undoubtedly give pleas
ure to all. The resolutions viii be read

squadron at the next general muster"

AT THE TURN OF THE ROAD.

Sydney (Australia) Advertiser)
Where the rough road turns, and the val
ley sweet
Smiles bright with its balm and bloom.
Well forget the thOrns that have pierced
the feet
And the nights with their grief and
gloom,
And the sky will smile, and the stars will
beam,
And well lay US down in the light to
dream.
We shall lay US down in the bloom and
light
With a prayer and a tear for rest.
AS tired children who creep at night
To the love of a mothers breast
And for all the grief of the stormy past
Rest shall be sweeter at last-at last!
Sweeter because of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts TO the perfect
day
With its splendOr of light and song.
The light that shall bless us and kiss us
and love US
And sprinkle the roses of heaven above
u.s.

sea-bred Carrier Pigeons,
Baltimore SUM-


Captain John r. Bartlett, L. S. N,
retired, chief of the coast signal serv-
ice during the war with Spain, has
| reported to the department on the
value of carrier pigeons for signaling
purposes. In substance he reports:
That experiments be made for the
purpose of training homing pigeons in
connection with coast signaling, for
the reason that they offer a solution of
the problem of communication with
vessels in the off shore patrol fleet.
These vessels would most probably
operate in districts having established
bases, and at such a distance from the
coast and from the inshore patrol that
visual signaling would be impossible.
\ homing pigeon service cannot be i'm
provised and be of any real value. The
birds must be systematically and
patiently trained for a year or two, not
only to equip the cotes with trained
carriers for that locality, but to furn-
ish q stock with seabred breeders. EX-
peTimental cOtes should be located at
the bases of naval coast defense dis
tricts, a small vessel provided with n
carrier pigeon outfit and an officer de-
tailed to develop this means of COM
munication and superintend the sys-
tematic training Of the birds. I'm
less this is done with intelligence and
thoroughness for at least year
it would be useless to rely upon
it at all. Such system could be
very economically inauSurated and
could be maintained at a comparative
ly slight cost A simple routine of
drills. exercises and reports based upon
our recent experiences could be read
lily put into operation, and small re-
wards or appropriate ratings would
stimulate proficiency. In times of
peace such a service would be of con-
slant convenience to this department,
and to the maritime interests of the
country, and the constant practice
would prepare the men for the emer-
gencies of war.
Attention is called to the fact that
every other maritime nation has such
a system, generally much more elab-
crate than the one herein proposed, or
ganized and operated under its naval
or maritime department.

ALTOGETHER TOO MODEST

The Herald, in a sarcastic vein, tries
to fix the responsibility for the ma
tional distrust of Utah upon the Trib-
Une.-Tribune.
our morning contemporary seems in
clined to act d little coy in publicly as
Stunning a credit it claims in private.
But coyness is one of its prominent fea-
lures. 1t is most noticeable as it am
bles away.
But let us see where this RESPONSE
biIity belongs. Let US acknowledge the
skill of the fine Italian hand-St.
Patrick was a Roman, you know. Let
US see who is circulating reports con-
corning the people, the parties, the
legislators and the tribunals of Utah
which are calculated to destroy the
confidence of capital and turn the east
away from a state they only judge by
hearsay evidence.

ling the world for months, day after

Of the people is towards immortality

The Tribune has made bare asser-
tions for which it offers no proofs
that the people of Utah nominate and
elect persistent and defiant lawbreak-
ers to Office, and for the express reason
that they are law-breakers.
The Tribune has declared, time and

that the elders of the dominant church

Mr.. WEIGHS WARNING.

Representative Welch sounded a
warming yesterday which the Demo-
ratio members of the present legisla-
lure would do well to heed
Mr.. Welch is a Republican. He has
no interest in the senatorial contest,
except as a citizen of the state. But he
is impatient with the dilatory methods
of the majority party, and is not alone
in this feeling. 1t is spreading to the
uttermost parts of the state
Here is the Democratic party with
two-thirds of the membership of the
legislature. OF the forty-one Demo-
Gratis who affiliate with the party,
twenty-seven are voting for one can
didate, thirteen for another and one for
some one else.
The Democrats are in a majority, and
the majority of the Democrats Heem TO
be together. But there is no DISPOSE
ton to end the fight, it seems. Where
fore Mr.. Welch declares that he and his
neutrality-suspicious. propose to help set
tie it if Democrats fail to reach an
early understanding among themselves.
Representative Welch sounded
warning that Democrats will be foolish
to disregard. He said:
I'VE have already exceeded, both in
days and ballots, the celebrated con-
test of two years ago. We have been
told by majority members of this joint
ASSEMBLE that, as gentlemen, the mi
nority members should keep out of this
fight, as it belonged to the other side
to settle the question. We have felt to
comply with the request to keep out
and now it has been waged so long, we
are dared to settle it. The majority say
if you gentlemen settle this now, you
assume the responsibility, but : wish to
say. Mr.. President. that the majority
cannot escape the responsibility of the
contest that is now before US
And, again. he said. speaking for the
Republican side of the house:
we have felt that we owed a duty
to our party. but, sir, we also owe a
duty to the state. 1t is not my inten-
ton at the present time to interfere in
this fight, but we will not be response
bic should this continue to drag as it
has done"
Why should Democrats invite this?
Why can they not get together in a
caucus, air their linen. tell their griev-
ances, fight it out among themselves,
and go into the joint session next day
with an election assured? The people
are impatient. Republicans are chatting
under the restraint. Democrats are
getting needless of the future.
It is time to caucus and end the
strife.
1t is time to elect a senator and get
down to business.

ADJUSTMENTS.


The audiences were small at both of
the theatres last night. At the The
atre it was evident that the MINISTRIES
did the business of the week, while at
the Grand, "A Boy Wanted" was not
ceedingly popular, to judge from the
size of the audience.
"A Boy Wanted" is one of the series
of what is known as theatrical hash,
but it possesses rather less elements of
amusement and more of vulgarity than
others seen this season. Louis Mar
tinetti as the Boy" is exceedingly ac-
tive with his limbs, and devotes most of
his efforts to tumbling. There are a
number of characters whose entries
and exits never materially affect the
progress of the performance. The plot
is not an important ingredient. Songs,
dances and other specialties make up
the evenings entertainment, and the
affair goes with a snap and dash that
always pleases the patrons Of the the
atre.
AT the Salt Lake theatre is also pre-
scented show of somewhat similar or
der-that is. for amusement strictly
but it is set and costumed in good
style. The entertainment is of rather
q. thirsty order in its effect, for the bar
is a chief feature on the stage. The
authors of "At Cay Coney Island
have borrowed freely from Charles
Hoyt, both in the names of characters
and in other respects; but while there
is nothing new in the piece, there is
much that is amusing. The girls wear
pretty costumes, and have no voices to
speak of. Miss Lockette is a clever
dancer; Miss Kelso, in her contralto
songs, is well received. She is very
tall woman. and would be more eff
fective if she would keep her arms
still. Tony Hart, jr., in German dia-
lect part, is very funny, as is also
Jimmie Barry as the poor but dishon-
est plumber, in an atrOcious makeup
The show is a good one of its kind,
and should attract all who want some
thing to please the eye. nothing to tax
the brain, and a laugh ready for the
inclination.
Tonight closes the engagement.

1t is one Of the most dastardly at
tempts to defeat the will of the people
ever attempted in a free country. Gold
ties claim that its object is to take the
silver question out of politics. They
want to place the matter where the
people cannot reach it. even if they de-
eide upon a change.
1t is as vicious and desperate piece
of robbery as the same party buncoed
the people with in 1878.

tive-elect Roberts,

Wars are sometimes begun for trivial
reasons. A little forbearance, a little
time, and people wonder what there
was TO fight about. Referring to the
Venezuelan dispute, the London Speak
er now says: Nobody on either side
of the Atlantic cares a button about
the boundary question now. Yet three
years ago it all but caused a war,
which would temporarily have ruined
both Great Britain and the United
States, and made all that has hap
pened recently in the domain of foreign
affairs impossible" Most international
squabbles might be averted by taking
little time to think over the points at
issue.
