MEMORIAL TO EUGENE FIELD.

Elsewhere in The Herald will be
found the announcement of the COM
mittee having in charge the memorial
to Eugene Field, the children's poet.
The object of the committee is to pro-
vide suitable monument for Fields
grave and possibly contribute to the
welfare of his family.
No man ever did more for his fellow
men than did Field. none ever added
more to the pleasures and joys of the
little ones or came closer to the heart
OF tae people. His Little Boy Blue" is
the tenGerest, most pathetic song of
berefta motherhood and fatherhood in
the English language. and the memoir
ial collection of poems touches every
chord Of human experience from grave
to- gay, from the exquisitely humorous
to the deepest religious sentiment
Aside from the debt due Eugene
Fields memory, the reading public can
make no better investment than by
sending 81 for the memorial volume of
poems. which may be had by address
ing the Eugene Field Monument Sou
venir Fund, $50 Monroe street, Chicago.
The book has all of Fields best work
and is beautifully illustrated by the
most illustrious of American artists,
men who contributed their designs as an
expression of their love for the dead
arfbor

Senator Hayward's death, occurring
as it did few hours after the opening
of the congress to which he had been
elected. prevented him from entering
upon public career. The deceased
was wealthy and an influential citi-
zen of Nebraska who wisely kept out
of politics until he had amassed a for
tune. Then, at the age of So. he be-
came the Republican candidate for gov
ernor- He went down with his ticket
in 1897 and entered the senatorial con-
test in the following year. 1t was a
long, bitter struggle and promised to be
one of the deadlocks for which last
winter was famous. Finally Mr. Hay
ward won, but it was deereed that he
should never FIJI the position. He was
stricken with paralysis soon after his
election and never recovered from the
first shock.

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.

At irregular intervals a local contem-
porary used to make itself ridiculous by
solemnly declaring in a manner that
brooked no controversy that the anti
trust law of 1890 had been practically
repealed by a Democratic congress"
This was so laughably absurd that no
one regarded it as a serious statement
But when the facts were pointed, and
IL was shown by quotations and cita-
lions that the law had been strength
eaed and us scope widened by Demo-
cratic congress, that the original law
and all its penalties, with others added,
are still in full force and effect. our
contemporary repeated its assertion,
showing its opinion to be based upon
ignorance rather than popularity.
President Mckinley dwells on the
law of 1890, its provisions. penalties and
purpose, apparently unmindful of the
local Republican organs repeal or par
tial repeal of that measure. In mis-
measure the president says:
An act 70 protect trade and COM
inerce against unlawful restraints and
rioaopones was passed by congress on
the second OF July. 1880. The provi-
sions of this statute are comprehensive
and stringent. II declares every con
tract or combination in the form of-a
trust or otherwise or conspiracy i'm the
restraint OF trade or commerce between
the several states or foreign nations TO
he unlawful. II denominates as a
criminal every person who makes any
such contract or engages in any such
combination or conspiracy and provides
a punishment BY fine or imprisonment
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-07

1t invests the several circuit courts OF
the United States with jurisdiction TO
prevent and restrain violations OF the
act. and makes it the duty of the sew
eral United States district attorneys
under the direction of the attorney
general TO institute proceedings in equity
10 prevent and restrain such viola
lions. 1t further confers upon any
person or corporation by reason of any,
thing forbidden or declared to be I'M
lawful by the act the power TO sue
therefor in any circuit court of the
United States without respect to the
amount in controversy. and to recover
threefold the damages by him sus
tanned and the costs of the suit in
Guiding reasonable attorney fees; II
will be perceived that the act Is aimed
at every kind of combination in the ma
ture of a trust or monopoly in restraint
of interstate or international commerce.
Since all these provisions exist and
powers are conferred by virtue of this
bill. why is it that President Mckinley
coed? Why did he name as public pros
ecutor. as attorney general. a well
known trust attorney, who refuses to
allow the federal government II pro-
coed against these unlawful combina-
tons in restraint of trade? Trust mag
mates have always said: Let us name
your attorney generals and your dis
trict attorneys and we care not what
laws you pass IL an act which is
aimed at every kind of a combination
in the nature of a trust" why should
Attorney General Griggs be retained
by the government when he refuses to
proceed under the law?

HEROiSM AND iCONOCLASM.

The Herald has always looked upon
Admiral Dewey as the great hero of
the war with Spain, whose glory out
shone that of all the others combined.
He was mentioned by unwise admir-
ers in an evil moment as a probable
successor TO President Mckinley. This
made him a target for all the sharp
shooters of the administration and their
guns were turned for the time being
from Colonel Bryan TO Admiral Dewey.
He has been Kissed in public meetings.

press. insulted by the licksplitters of
the imperial party and Inundated be-
fore his countrymen.
Next to him stood Rear Admiral
Schley, the hero of the naval battle of
Santiago. the decisive action of the
war. Baptised in fire he stood upon
the bridge of the Brooklyn the ranking
officer in the engagement, while shot
and shell flew thick and fast about
him. Upon his ship the enemy's fire
was centered; upon its deck ran the
only blood spilled in the battle on the
American side; it was in at the death
and helped to sink every Spanish shin.
it bore away the wounds of honor
more than all the other vessels of the
fleet could show. Yet there has been
pack of administration coyotes bark
ing at the heels of Schley ever since
that memorable engagement.
The Herald has considered General
Funston the army hero of the recent
wars. Unpleasant stories are being cir
culated now in eastern newspapers to
the effect that he is nothing but a
censor-made hero. Interviews with off,
GERS and men of the Twentieth Kansas
are being circulated in pamphlet form
in Kansas, it is alleged, showing that
Funston not only didn't do the things
for which he was promoted and hero
fed, but that che lay ingloriously on
his stomach behind a rice dixie at Gut
guinto in mud and safety, while the
fighting went forward under the lead
ership of his unadvertised lieutenant
colonel"
X is alleged further that Funston
never plunged into the Bagbag in the
face of a hail of bullets and led his
men in an amphibious charge. Neither
did he breast the turbid floods of the
Rio Grande while the Mauser balls
zip-zipped about him.
He was merely friend of the CEN
sor, it is claimed, whose determination
to have hand in the making of he

THE OBJECTIVE POINT.

The Republicans of Utah have won
with the aid of a sectarian crusade
The Democratic candidate for congress
is probably defeated at last. and by
the same influences that were invoked
against him in the interest of Alma
Eldredge. The local Republican organ
expresses itself as satisfied.
Utah has been Inundated in the
house of representatives and in the
eyes of the nation" it exultantly ex-
claims.
1T isn't Roberts we are after, but
the Mormon church." says one of the
national leaders of the Republican
party.
IF it were merely charge of i'm
morality or misdemeanor against Mr.
Roberts, says ex-senator Edmunds. Il
wouldn't be in favor of his expulsion;
but it is a chance to rebuke the Nor
majority of the voters in Utah.
The New York Press, a newspaper so
close to the president that it may be
said TO voice the sentiments of the ad-
ministration, says.
The Roberts case is only an incident
The lecherous, treacherous murderous
Mormon hierarchy-the one body of
American politicians TO whom all the
epithets of Hamlet apply-have jock
eyed the nation out of statehood. They
are lying low now in prudent recogni-
ton of their error in dropping the mask
too early in the Roberts case. But
those. who imagine that they intend to
abandon without compulSion the posi-
ton which they have secured for them
selves and their harems behind the bull
wark of states rights do not know the
breed.
All of which gives an idea of the
turn the crusade has taken and the
intensity of the feeling which has been
aroused

with his dog fact ii. scene 81. Proteus,

and all our house in a great perplexity.
yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed

than a dog" We remember this last
against Proteus when he forgets Julia.
Launce's instructive obscenity (act iv)
in recounting Crabs misdemeanors
also reflects upon Proteus, whose moral
offenseS against love are parodied by
Crabs conduct. Launce's love affair
tact iii. scene ID is about as serious and
sincere in reality as the love affairs
of Proteus. Launcelot, in the "Mer-
chant of Venice" performs a dramatic
function similar to that Of Launce.

IL is common among readers OF
Shakespeare to speak of scenes of in
tensity and scenes of relief and to re-
gard the latter as less essential than
the former to the plays in which they
are found. The speeches of the clowns
and fools, especially. are often consid-
cred as mere waggery devised by the
dramatist as a temporary relief from
