issue certificates in return for contributions,

was decided that committee of ten be ap-
pointed TO make arrangements for holding a
picnic on Labor Day, September 4th, provid-
ing the Columbia Park can be secured, and
that report be made at the next meeting.

Troublesome PrIsoner.

At late hour last night Policeman Uraitis
met Robert Shoup in a drunken condition
and brandishing hatchet in unison with
incoherent threats, Shoup was placed under
arrest but offered such determined resistance
that the officer was obliged to call for aid.
Twice on the way TO the lookup Shoup asked
to be allowed to rest and, the requests being
granted, he suddenly jumped to his feet
each time and ran of like deer, but was
overtaken. Upon arrival at the lookup he
put up another determined fight to thwart
the officers in forcing him into a cell, but the
door was finally closed upon him. large
and ugly looking knife was found upon the
prisoners person.

TRUSTS AND A Gu RE.

ISSUES OF THE DAY.

The Bimetallic League, which met IN
Louisville last week, enthusiastically
applauded the sentiment that the Dem
ocratic party will not content itself
with demanding a reaffirmation OF the
Chicago platform in 1900, but will de-
mand that the money plank of that
document be incorporated next year,
word for word"
Many earnest friends of silver seem
to fear that the Democratic party is
ignoring other issues of vital impor-
lance for that of free coinage. They
say that this tendency to reiterate and
emphasize silver declarations is not
only unnecessary, but gives color to the
charge that Democrats are bimetallic
zealots; that silver absorbs its advo-
Gates until they become cranks and
monomaniacs. And, it must be con-
fessed that goldbugs, by declaring fire.
quently that the silver issue is dead, or
by observing from time to time that
the sentiment is waning, have provoked
redundant declarations of allegiance to
the white metal, out of which admins
tration organs have made considerable
campaign capital.
While the financial issue is predomi-
nant and will be more predominant
when the Republican majority in the
next congress undertakes to legalize
the gold standard and aid the money
trust, as the national caucus has de-
cided to do, the people must not fasten
their eyes upon one issue while the
party in power is perpetrating or per-
hitting TO be done a score of wrongs
that should be prevented or rebuked,

while trust eXtortion and tariff inequal-
ity take from one class and give TO an
other, while beaurocratic insolence and
imperialistic tyranny threaten the in
situations of the republic-there are a
hundred issues, lashes with which to
scourge the money changers from the
temple of our government.

oNTHE GREAT GOLD TRAIL.

All the romance and the tragedy of
the Argonauts from the days of an
oient Greece to the modern Klondike
were told in a single story of Alaskan
horrors printed in yesterdays Herald.
There is the same striving for wealth,
the same willingness to brave death it
self. the same inevitable disaster for
the many that has always gone with
the search for gold.
One reckless spirit summed up the
terrors of failure and hardship when
he wrote over his suicide grave: Hell
can't be worse than this trail; I'll
chance it" If he had been more of a
philosopher he would have added some
thing to the effect that most of the
trails that lead. to great wealth have
an element OF the demoniac in them.
In the rash for riches thousands lose
the trail and perish in a moral abyss
worse than the Klondil1e has ever seen;
countless multitudes walk to riches
over the dead bodies of those they have
trodden under feet in their determina-
ton to reach the great goal.
i takes no long thinking to realize
from all these stories, ancient and mod
ern. the value of contentment with
what lies near-the comforts of home.
the quiet of a modest competency, the
good fellowship that compensate for
.he lack of piIed-up boards.

CEDAR ClTYS HOPE.

1t is to be hoped the Utah & Pacific
company viii find it worth while to
build the branch line of their road to
Cedar City, which is now under con-
temptation. Even those who have seen
the great coal and iron deposits of Iron
county can hardly realize the enormous
possibilities of the field. Whether the
commercial development of the west
coast will justify the investment neces-
sary to make the coal and iron profit
able products has been a debatable
question, and its solution will, of course,
determine whether the road shall be
built.
Aside from these deposits. the Cedar
City region offers a great range for cat
tie in favorable seasons. a line in that
direction would tap a considerable area
of timber. and would bring the Dixie
country with its delightful climate and
fruit lands, within an easy days ride
of the terminus.
The pioneers who have lived in COM
parative isolation for so long, deserve
a reward for their labors in the shape
Of better transportation facilities.
