Mr.. Editcr:-A correspondent in your last
issue ''Dlews his own horn" for all it is
worth. One might think he expected the
Angels to weep because a fellow mortal like
himself caused him to be brought before the
Bar of Justice charged with some real or sup
posed infraction. Why, l wonder, did nj
some of hls neighbors blow it for him if they
we're so Mortified that go perfect being as
the correspondent pictures himself to oe had
been so grossly wronSed | don't doubt that
be is all that be tells us he is, and even more
but some one else might have said SO for him
There are surely few such EXAMPLES of per.
lection found among mortal men. Such it
seems to me, mi sht make II fortune by putting
himself upon exhibition, Tor without doubt be
would be poRder to be added TO the other
Sseen great Wonders Of The ,eorld.
Oh how I wish could cry | would sit
right down and weep, and weep, and WEEP
over the wrongs visited upon that man O
such Projections. But, poor me can't in
duce my tears to flow and guess am abou
like the balance OF u.s. if weep at all, it will
be for greater grievance than that pictured
by your grossly injured correspondent and il
is about the same wa with the balance Of VI
poor mortals. But tell what will do; tb
very first time ! meet my old friend Justic,
Medley, I'll tell him that he is worse thai

that he is ''son Of a gun Then il Mr.

His Theory and Practice.
(Chicago DemocratO

Among the many ambitious young art
students in the city is one who burns to
become realist. He rails against tech
nique' and idealism, and is sleeping him
self in life and nature. Accordingly when
an idea presents Itself for Illustration he
strives to produce the living representa-
uNe-the spontaneous action.
Now, the fertile brain of this young
man produced an idea which seemed to
him particularly picturesque and fun of
delicate sentiment. II was based upon a
stolen kiss. His first thought was of the
action.
What would a pretty girl do if a COM
parative stranger deprived her of a kiss
without permission? He had never done
such thing nor seen it done; So mani
testify, if he were to catch the spontane-
somebody. His sense of propriety rebelled
at first. but his art-hiS precious art
overcame his scruDles.
Who would be his model? All, Miss
Jones. The very girl-tall. statuesque
brunette incidentally. he wouldn't mind
kissing Miss Jones.
Last Saturday evening found him at her
home. The coast was clear and he pre-
pared to act. After half an hour OF con-
versatiOn Miss Jones brought out collec-
ton of photographs taken with her own
camera, and they bent over them with
their heads close together. Suddenly he
kissed her. For an instant she looked at
him in amazement. and Their
He doesn't remember exactly what hap
pened. but something hard struck him
with terrific force several times. and then
after q fearful wrench at his neck, he
alighted in a heap on the front walk. He

TELLER TRUE TO SILVER.

Senator Teller announces that under no
circumstances will the free silver Repub-
leans support the regular Republican
ticket next wear. The inference from this
announcement is that the pCuting bee in
Stituted with such a copious outburst Of
Tears from Mr.. Teller at St Louis in 1896
Will be continued indefinitely.-Man and
Express.
Evidently Senator Teller speaks with
out permission from our morning con-
temporary. which has assumed to talk
for so-called silver Republicans, and
whose recent surrender to the regular
organization has been hailed by gold
bugs everywhere as the capituation of
all those Republicans who. in 1896 re-
pudiated the st. Louis convention.
1t seems that the senator holds princi-
pie above personal reward, something
that our contemporary must find it
hard to comprehend.
Senator Teller does not complain be-
cause the Democratic party did not
acknowledge him as its leader or tender
him the nomination for the presidency.
He must be advocating free coinage
because he actually believes in it and
because he really wants it to succeed
regardless Of the party that upholds it
and defends it as a tenet of political
faith
If the senator were inclined to aban-
don silver on account of pique or dis
appointment his sincerity might well be
questioned. But Senator Teller is loyal
TO the principle. After all, there may
be other ex-Republicans who do not
regard the issue as a corpse.

BEWARE OF THE SCORCHER

The scorcher is in evidence again.
Several complaints have been made of
the wheeled terror who lowers his head
like an enraged bovine and makes for
an unsuspecting victim, who is general
~ unconscious of his approach and
frequently unconscious after his de-
parture.
Ever and anon one of these bad men
of the boulevard swoop down upon a
baby carriage or crashes into q group
of frightened women, and sometimes.
but all too rarely, poetic retribution
sends him limping off bearing aloft
shattered wheel.
Our Payson correspondent reports a
narrow escape from death in that or
dinarily peaceful burg yesterday. The
scorchers were of the feminine gender
in this instance. Two of them rode
down a pedestrian who had so far re-
covered at last accounts as to request
the city authorities to keep girls on
wheels off the narrow sidewalks
Equally dangerous to be at large
are the riders who have not learned to
keep to the right. Reckless riding
should be discouraged. especially on
sidewalks. If wheelmen keep to the
middle of the street, where recklessness
is chiefly dangerous to themselves, it is
not so bad. But on the walks it is
much too one-sided danger.

INDIANS AND FILlPINOS

General Otis, carrying out the Iolicy
of the administration, as the presi-
dents telegram clearly indicates, re-
fuses to recognize the Tagal insurgents
as an organized body.
This, it seems, is in curious contrast
with the traditional policy of our gov
eminent, of treating all the Indian
tribes as organic nations and making
treaties with them as with civilized
powers.
What is the reason? Is it because we
have not exterminated Tagals sufficient
ly for the purposes of conquest? What
was the policy of the pioneers of this
state in their treatment of the Indians?
The Tagals are farther advanced
than ever the Indians were. Many Of
them are educated. Some of them are
accomplished. They had set up a gov
eminent as much superior to the tribal
arrangements of the Indians as our
own republic is superior to that of
Nicaragua.
But on with the war. If we refuse to
recognize them in peace negotiations
there is only one thing to do, and that
is to keep on killing them off
Never mind what it is for. We are
with "our country right or wrong"
The only way to hold the islands APP
pears to be to kill their inhabitants.
"A little more grape, Captain Bragg"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-01

earth, are proper subjects for COM
ment, whether such comment is favor
able or unfavorable.
Whenever public opinion is compelled
to yield to the views of the admins
tration. and men are to be accused of
treason" for dissenting from the opin-
ions of the money-chaugers who hap
pen to hold temporarily the reins of gov
eminent, all the essentials of mon
archy are established. and Imperialism
in its most aggressive character is re-
vealed. The right to discuss state and
national policies and the conduct of
and must be recognized in a republican
form of government.
Patriotism is the last refuge of
scoundrels when they use it to cover
their own mistakes and misdeeds and
to throttle the press and the people
while grave wrongs are being perpe-
trated in the name of progress Behind
this bigotry of patriotism lies partisan
intolerance and servility to political
power.
Fulsome fattery is not loyalty. Hon.
est criticism is quite as patriotic as is
the adulation of administration news
papers and of men who are influenced
largely by personal obligation or hope
of party advantage or reward.
Imperialism that reaches out for ter
ritory and believes in conquest is not
so bad. But the kind which tries to re-
vive the old theory that 1.-The king can
do no wrong is inimical to the institu-
tions of the republic.
