Another year has completed its run.
All over the world, among all nations,
civilized or not, it has left its trace of
notable events. Not the least so in
our own country. At the beginning of
1898 we little dreamed what was IN.
store for US. But no matter what has
transpired. now we can look back, and
letting those events pass their review
before our vision We can truly say,
Providence has made itself manifest in
our behalf and by this very manifesto
ton endorsed our action in behalf of
the oppressed, an action of humanity
and mercy, constituting the crowning
event of 1898 upon the American con-
tinent.
Now presuming that providential
aid. helping to attain desired result
is manifest or rendered. only where an
individual or nation is right. we must
necessarily have been right.
For four or five years the attention
Of our great nation has more than ever
before been riveted upon 1.-THE Cuban
question: The people of this country
seemed to realize more and more the
necessity of doing something that
would assume the proportions of ma
tiOnal demonstration in behalf of the
unfOrtunates SO near our own shores;
and soon public sentiment became a
part of the greatest consideration OF
the highest officials of our government.
Years ago the hearts of not only the
American people, but of the English
and other nations were stirred by the
pictures of tyranny and oppression por-
trayed in Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves
story, "Uncle Toms Cabin In the
beginning of 1898 they were equally
stirred by the speech of one eloquent
man, the browning expression of which
was-"Poor Cuba, crushed and bleed

of the American people, This appeal

and the problem of the condition of the
Cuban people, solved only short time
since. The conditions are essentially
the same, the motive for action the
same, the spirit of American sense of
liberty the same, and thank God, the
result apparently as glorious in this last
case as in the first.
What shape the conditions as they
existed, would have assumed, had the
election of 1886 turned out differently
we will not even try to conjecture, we

Frank S. Davidson's company in "Old
Farmer Hopkins at the opera house
last evening. The play was strictly
first class in every particular. Frank
S. Davidson as Jeremiah Hopkins made
a typical New England farmer, and AL

carried by the company added much to
the reality of the play.

BRYAN DID HIS DUTY.

Bryan is constantly assailed by
feather bed heroes who not only re-
fused to enlist for action themselves,

regiment was mustered into the serv-
ice. The same patriots for revenue
only are still pursuing the Nebraska
colonel with their sneers and SANDER.
although it is seldom one has the cour-
age to give an exhibition of his malevo-
lence in the presence of the, silver
champion.
An eastern paper reports a recent in
stance in a special correspondence;
While Mr. Bryan was speaking a Re-
publican in the audience yelled:
why didn't you go to Cuba"
Quick as a flash and sharp as a
pistol shot came the answer:
II offered my services to a Repub-
lican president the day that war was
declared. (Cheers.) That offer was
never accepted. then raised a regi-
ment of my own. When the treaty Of
peace was signed resigned because 1

army and have had constant fighting

II was afterward discovered that the
man who asked the question was one
of these fire-eating imperialists who
wanted everybody's sons to enlist but
his own, claiming the age exemption
for himself, although he had failed to
enlist in the civil war when he was
just the right age. The leading con-
quistadors of this country are men who
believe in war, any kind of war, pro-
vided some one else and some one else's
relatives do the fighting.

SERVES AS A GANG PLANK.

One reason the administration is fore
ing the expansion issue over the pro-
tests of its most eminent Statesmen is
that it offers an excuse for western
men who have been won over to the
gold standard to enter the camp of the
goldbugs without further delay. 1t is
a sort of gang plank over which prose-
lytes to the power of wealth are en-
abled to pass in boarding the Republic
an excursion boat.
This is admitted in recent editorials
found in the goldbug press, printed no
doubt for the reinsurance of east
ern men who are fully as fear
full of the effects of forcible expan-
sion and militarism as they are of BIZ
metallism. The New York Commercial
Advertiser expresses this sentiment
very clearly when it says: Expansion
as state issue promises temporary re-.
lief, if not cure, from some of the finan-
cial alterations that have afflicted Re-
publicans in the middle west to slight
extent and more seriously in the vest
Men are being weaned away from
their allegiance to a permanent princi-
pie which is far more important to
this republic than the peace or pros
perity of the Filipinos ever will be. by
a frantic appeal to partisan patriotism
and an effort TO make the politicians
in power stand for all that is grand and
glorious in this republic. The New York
paper continues: THE wisdom of en-
phasizing the issue is beginning to be
seen where conflict between loyal sup
port of the administration and support
of free silver is naturally hottest. The
return to the fold of repentent silver
Republicans in Idaho (and Utah) is
significant of what may occur on a
larger scale in state elections"
The Hannaites are trying to dazzle
the eyes of silver men with the gold
shield of Imperialism, playing at pa
triotism for a purpose. and processing
a devotion to country, when there isn't
a silver man in the west but feels and
has said over and over ngain that these
mock patriots at the head of affairs
would sacrifice the republic and its peo-
pie upon the altar of selfish interest
any day in the year.

way rejoicing, the bogus minister de-
parts at his feisures and the certificate
turns up in few days at a neighbor-
ing bank or store in the form of a
Dromissory note.
Aside from it's criminality, this is a
wicked trick to play. 1t has tendency
to make farmers suspicious Of real min
listers of the gospel, and to prevent a
helping hand from being extended to
runaway couples who actually want to
be and probably ought to be married
There is not much danger of such
swindle being carried on successfully in
Utah. If young people are entitled to
contract marriage, and are armed with
the proper credentials, they can find an
elder at almost every farmhouse in the
state willing to say the word without
giving a thought to any travelling
preacher who might happen to be
around.

Who started that cry in this state?
We can reproduce article after article
from the editorial columns of the Salt
Lake Tribune in 1896 along the same
line exactly 1t warned silver men to
be on the alert, to guard constantly
against goldites controlling any city
primary, to see that none but avowed
silver delegates were elected to any con-
vention, city, precinct, county or state.
The necessity of this, our neighbor said,
was to prevent such McKinleyites as
Arthur Brown and the Republicans
who stood by the ST. Louis convention
from receiving any encouragement, or
giving regular Republicans a nucleus
around whichto form party organiza-
ton in the state.
Gradually, however, like the immortal
Ely, Arthur Brown has been getting
there with his organization, until there
is none other among the Republicans
of the city. and the newspaper that was
so alarmed lest even a delegate to
precinct convention should not be rad
ically opposed to the gold party is now
trying to jest away the Importance of
placing the city in the silver column
this fall.
Arthur Brown has certainly convert
ed the organization and captured the
organ, in spite of the precautions taken
three. years ago.

CAN DO 1T EASILY.

OF course the British can whip the
Beers. There is no question about it.
But there are other pertinent questions
for consideration. is it necessary for
Great Britain to make war upon these
Dutch peasants who have made homes
for themselves in the south of Africa
Even admitting that they are the fos-
sill remains of an almost extinct civili-
cation; that they are disagreeable to
outsiders and that their dislike is
carried to the point of exorbitant levies
and unconscionable taxation; that they
insist upon retaining a monopoly OF
various lines of industry connected
with the Transvaal and use tyrannous
measures to secure it; is there an ex-
cuse for war?
Strong nations must have aggravated
grievances and the highest of motives
TO go to war with weaker peoples and
expect to emerge with the worlds
respect.
The London Saturday Review senses
this when it says: IF fight We must,

The origin of Edinburgh is lost in an
tiquity. 1t seems certain that there was
Roman settlement ON the site of the
present town. The name Arthur's Seat
given to the great hill which, like a
crouching lion, mounts guard over the
city, perpetuates the memory of the
British hero who is said TO have routed
the Saxon invaders in great battle
near its base. The city itself, Edin-
burgh-i. e., Edwin's borough-bears
the name of one of the greatest rulers
of the Observation-Disclosures, the first
Christian king of Northumbria, who es-
tablished an outpost here to hold in
check the ravaging Picts from beyond
the Forth. For centuries the fort and
town Of Edinburgh-if town there was
in those early days-belonged like the
surrounding country, to the English
kingdom of Northumbria, passing at
times under the rule of the vikings of
the north, at times under that of the
Scottish princes of the lands beyond
the Forth. 1t first appears as royal
residence in the reign of Malcolm Cant
more, the son and avenger of the graz
cious Duncan. His sanity wife, Mari
garet of England, built for herself an
oratory in the fortress on the rock, and
the chapel erected there in her memory
is, with one exception, the oldest build
ing now existing in Scotland. Under
the three sons of Malcolm and Mar
garet, who successfully ruled Scotland
Edinburgh became the capital of the
growing kingdom. The second of these
sons, Alexander I, is said to have
founded ST. Giles, the cathedral church
of Edinburgh. His brother, St. David
built great keep of the castle in the
fashion the Norman conquest had made
familiar to England, and endowed the
Abbey of Holyrood as sanctuary for
a fragment of the true cross, which had
been his mothers dearest relic Thus
the three most interesting buildings of
the city-the castle keep, the central
church and the abbey palace-owe their
