BRYAN'S TRIP TO THE COAST,

Bryan's trip to the Pacific coast has
been one continuous ovation. People
turned out in wind and storm, in heat
and cold, by day and by night. to greet
him at every stop from Omaha TO san
Francisco. If he had been president he
could not have aroused more enthu-
siasm or found a more generous recep-
ton in every state he passed through.
1t doesn't look as if his influence IS
waning. 1t doesn't appear that the sill
yer issue is dead. The great mass of
American citizens are not ready to
drop the principle of independent BIZ
netallism. They haven't turned the
fiip-hop that local contortiOnist has
performed for the purpose of setting
them an example. They haven't seen
the great light that sends its golden
CLEAN across the back-tr track. They are
not convinced that we should go to
Europe for our monetary system. They
know that the silver question has not
been eliminated from the political is
sues of the day" and that it cannot be
until an honest standard is secured.
They are not shedding crocodile tears
above the grave of silver. for they know
that silver was never so much alive as
It is today. They are not deserving the
cause on the field of battle, simply be-
cause the goldbugs won the first battle
and have a lot of spoils at their dis
posaI They are not repining under
the juniper tree and trying TO dissuade
others from doing battle to the cham
pions of avarice and eXtortion. They
are not declaring that it is useless to
make another stand for silver in this
country until conditions change. By
their presence, by their greeting, by
their cheers and numbers. they have
assured the great leader of bimetallic
forces in this country that they are
with him in the fight, and with him
to the end.
Those who assert, TO hide their own
backsliding, that no one is interested
in the financial question any more, fail
TO hear an echo from among the people

AS TO. WlFE-BEATERS.

There is no occasion for surprise at
the announcement that Mrs. McAfee
refused to testify against her husband.
who beat her into insensibility with
club the other day. 1t is the old story.
The law never gets 4 fair chance at
wife-beater. Invariably, almost. the
woman goes to the rescue of the wretch
who maltreats her. If he is moder-
ately wicked, she may apply for
divorce. but if he has an ungovernable
temper, and attacks her with the feroc-
ity of maniac, she reaches out her
hand to him again as soon as she is
able. And when the brute is fined for
disturbing the peace of a neighborhood,
in nine cases out of ten his victim binds
up her wounds and goes to washing or
scrubbing to get enough money to pay
the fine. When a poor, helpless old
woman has been deserted and neglected
and mauled into submissive slavery for
twenty or thirty years, she takes abuse
as a matter of fact, and learns to look
upon it as a part of her natural ex-
istence.
ADout the Only states lnal nave oeen
able to give the wife-beater justice are
those in which the whipping post is
recognized and utilized by the courts
for this purpose. A fine for assault
paid by the victim of that assault is
no punishment to the offender. And
when wife, heaters, who stop barely
short of brutal murder. are permitted
to escape adequate punishment because
of the Discrimination of the injured per-
son to testify to the facts, the law
should dispose of their cases in a way
that would operate as a warning to

THE PRESIDENTS TAFFY.

Who can read McKinley's Pittsburg
speech and say that the volunteers
should have been allowed to return
home a day sooner than they were
sent? in substance asks an organ of i'm
perialism.
What does the president say in de-
Tense of the presidents war? He says
that the volunteers never faltered. To
be sure they never faltered. 1t was his
excellency that did the faltering. There
was none left for the boys to do. The
whole trouble in which they were in
volved. in which the lives of all were
exposed and the lives of many were
sacrificed, was brought on by the halt
ing, faltering policy of the administra-
ton. \ little common sense, a little
tact. wo" have averted it. The rank
est imperialists in the country admit
the truth of this. And men from the
front, men who know. men in
whom the American people have
confidence. say that little
diplomacy, a few trivial concessions.
viii end the war now and would have
averted all the needless sacrifice of
men and money that has taken place
stnce the middle of February.
They did not stack arms; they did
not run away" says the president in
applying taffy to the wounds Of the
veterans eff mis- war. OF course they
didn't. They didn't want to be court
martialed; they wanted to obey or
ders; they wanted to do their part as
good Americans whether the politicians
in power discharged their duties as
faithfully or not These volunteers did
not care to have the records at Wash
ington made up to reflect upon their
courage or patriotism. They were not
aspiring to become secretaries of war
under doodle administration.
Another broadside of sweet moIasses
candy that the president fired into the
Pennsylvania troops he addressed con-
tanned the following: practically
new army had to be created. These
loyal volunteers in the Philippines said:
we will stay until the government can
organize an army at home and trans
port them to the seat of hostilities.'
And yet the president refused week
after week to organize and equip an
other army. Congress had given him
the power ard the means. Army Of
fjcers of experience had urged upon
him the necessity of calling for $4,000
volunteers at once. Men of every po-
Iitical party. expansionists and anti
expansionists. implored him to raise
an army large enough 10 end the sick
ening slaughter at once Still ne re-
fused. He impressed the volunteers.
II was a CONSUMPTION that the attor-
new general had declared illegal. 1t was
an unfair advantage TO take of men
who had enlisted for a purpose and
had discharged their duties faithfully
and well TO the last moment that the
government had any claim upon them
,,nder the federal law. which presi-
dents as well as private citizens are ex-
pected to obey.
As a confectioner the president is a

decided success But fiattery is the
trap of the politician; it isn't necessary
to the equipment of a patriot. While
the boys were brave and true, they
know, whether they say anything about
it or not, that they were in tight
place and the president kept them there
for the insurgents TO shoot at when
he wasn't making the slightest effort
to relieve them, when he refused to
issue a call, when he retained Alger
at the head Of the war department and
still keeps Otis in command at Manila.
Honied words are well enough for holt
cay consumption, but plain facts are
mental food for volunteers the rest of
the year.

ALL ACCOUNTED FOR.

If it be true that Aguinaldo has
been dead three months. as dispatches
indicate, we shudder to contemplate
the shock it must be to those feather
bed heroes, the home guards of i'm
perialism, who have been shaking their
fists at him and calling him hard
names for just about that length of
time.
There must be some mistake about
it. We have been told by Atkinson
mobbers that with Boston baked litera-
ture and Aggie out of the way. the in
surrection would collapse in four min
utes by the watch.
1t seems that all conditions have
been complied with long since-that
Charles Emory Smith excluded every
thing that bore the finger prints of
Edward from the mails along in May,
and that General Pic del Pillar, the pill
lar of the rebellion. did his part and
slew Aguinaldo Yet, for some mex
plicable reason the war goes merrily
on. Perhaps the archipelago is like
Central and South American Spanish
trained republics-the revolution got to
going and couldn't stop.
Japanese journalists have a theory
that Pillar killed Aggie to avenge the
death of Luna. But there are rea-
sons to suspect that Pillar, who consid-
ers himself more of a father TO his
country than anybody. saw n some
American newspaper where Aguinaldo
was compared to George Washington
and forthwith slew him in jealous rage.

UTAH'S YELLOW JOURNAL.

The Salt Lake Tribune has justly earned
the title of the yellow Journal of the
state of Utah. Its latest freak in this line
is an article which tends to besmirch the
character and record of Major Young
There are generally some disgruntled
men in every organization and, moreover.
there is also two sides TO every question.
One side has been told; the other Is yet

The people of Utah do not have to have
the testimony of a few disgruntled men
as to the qualification of Major Young
and his record. for he has q place in the
hearts of the people of Utah that the
manager of the Tribune will never pos
sess.
This last piece of dirty business is still
more yellow and smells more yellow than
previous illusions. and Lannan must be
driven to pretty straits when he. endeav-
ors to besmircn the character of a man
who is every whit his peer.

Apologists for the presidents delay
in disposing of Embezzler Carriers case
are trying to draw a comparison be-
tween his case and that of Dreyfus.
But Carter had every chance to clear
himself and failed. His trial was favor
able to him if the verdict was not No
one can examine the evidence and pro-
nounce him innocent. He has been al
lowed to command men, TO force him
self upon the society of other officers,
wear his shoulder straps and sword
and draw full pay in the regular army
for almost two years after his guilt was
established. He hasn't been punished
at all. No devils isle held any terrors
for him. But in one respect his case
recalls the Dreyfus affair-it is a
parody on justice.

WHAT SMITH FEARED MOST.

Our valuable and esteemed morning
contemporary thinks it was only ma
tural that Dynamiter John Smith
should have sent5his famous Silver City
letter to The Herald, thereby scooping

Exactly so. John was afraid it would
injure his already tough reputation if
he appeared as a contributor to the
Tribune.

The observatory clock having been
once set right by observations of the
sky, its error can be predetermined every
few days quite easily. Thus even the
small irregularities of its nearly per-
feet mechanism can be prevented from
accommodating until they might reach
harmful magnitude. But we obtain in
this way only a correct standard OF
time within the observatory itself.
How can this be made available for the
general public? The process is quite
simple with the help of the electric tele-
