DAMAGES TO LIVESTOCK.

A correspondent at Echo inquiries if
there was "a law passed at the recent
session of the state legislature making
railway companies fully liable for stock
killed by trains on their roads?"
Two bills were introduced covering
cases of this character. H. B. los pro-
vided for the erection and maintenance
of cattle guards and fences along the
tracks, and making the companies re-
sponsible for all livestock killed by rea-
son Of negligence in this particular. II.
B. Is, among other things. fixed the re-
sponsibility of railroad companies for
damages done TO livestock. Both these
measures were defeated.
Senator A. ]. Evans introduced S. B.
6, defining the civil jurisdiction of JUS
tees of the peace. 1t authorizes them
to try cases involving damages to per-
sonal property injured by railway
trains. This bill became a law.
According to the code of Utah every
railroad company shall be liable for
damages caused by its neglect to make
and maintain good and sufficient cross
ings' for travel; and for all damages
sustained by the owner of any livestock
killed or injured by the engineer or cars
of said company

ANOTHER FALL.

After many attempts to explain now
Admiral Scbley cast his last vote for
Oliver p. Morton as governor of Ohio -
the Standard has hit upon this very
novel and original explanation:
BY the way. what authority has The
Herald for stating that Admiral Schle'y
Massachusetts. New York. New Jersey or
Indiana? Does not The Herald know
that during the rebellion there were laws
permitting sailors and soldiers to vote
wherever they were located?
Certainly, soldiers and sailors were
permitted TO vote wherever they were
located during the war of the rebellion.
But not for local or state officers, unless
the voter happened to be a resident OF
the state or locality. Soldiers and sail
ors located at New Orleans, for in
stance, were allowed to cast their bal
lots for president. the ballots to be re-
corded in their respective states. If tt e
state laws permitted, they probably
voted for state officers, not of the
states where they were temporarily To-
Gated, but of their home states. No
federal law could authorize a soldier or
sailor to vote for state officers. Sucn
matters are regulated by the states
themselves. And no state permitted d
soldier or sailor who was not a resident
thereof to vote in its state elections.
Not being a resident of any state but
Maryland, and not having been located
in any northern state during the civil
war, Admiral Schley could not have
cast his war ballot for governor, even
Illegally, in either of the states named.
So our Ogden contemporary argument
again falls to the ground.

GERMANY AND SPAIN.

IT has been announced from the
throne of Spain that the Marianne, Car
oIine and Palao islands belong 10 Ger
many; that the kaiser ACQUIRED the
title to them through purchase from
the Sagasta ministry.
Whether the bargain was made dur
ing our late unpleasantness with Spain
or subsequent to the signing of the
protocol has not been officially given
out, but in any event it throws some
light on the conduct of the Germans at
Manila, and invests Captain Coghlan's
story with new interest.
Several weeks ago The Herald ex-
planned that Germany had been after
the Caroline islands for a number of
years, but the acquisition of the Mar
iannes and others is evidently a later
consideration. And it begins to look
as if the kaiser actually dwelt upon
the Philippines with covetous eyes IN
the early part of the war with Spain.
When the attention of Senior Del
mazo. The Spanish ambassador at
Rome, was called to the many mani
festations of friendship for his govern
ment on the part of Germany and
France, he remarked:
'.These are but interested friends. IF
we had not colonies TO lose, they would
not trouble themselves about us"
And ne was riot, if not discreet. For
there is little senHmentalfty in the
average European power. 1t is an age
of a4arice and greed. Each looks upon
the possessions Of the others with
covetous eyes. and watches for an op-
portunity TO satisfy its hunger for land.
Germany has been waiting for q forced
sale of Spanish colonies Tor many years.
The destruction of the Spanish navy
renders the government of islands i'm
practicable. The expense of the war
made il necessary Tor Spain to Fart
with some of her possessions. 1t was
thought that an agreement had been
made to transfer the title to the Philip
pines, and that this was the secret OF
Won Diedrfch's behavior. Failing in
that deal, the Carolines, Mariannes and
Palaos were bartered.
1t is a good bargain for Spain, any
way. She is more in need of gold than
of islands. She is not prepared to take
part in the Chinese middle, and Gar
many IS determined to do SO. And
every power that is itching TO get into
what threatens to be an almost univer-
sal war over the partition of China
needs base of supplies in the Orient.

HANNA HARMONY.

Hanna's faction triumphed yesterday
in the Ohio Republican state conven-
ton. Frantic appeals for harmony
were made by Hanna, Foraker, Huling
and Kerr, and George NJ. Nash, chair
man of the state organization, was nom-
mated for governor on the second bal
lot
In his speech on taking the chair, Mr..
Kerr aroused the greatest enthusiasm
and did more than any one in drawing
the warning factions together For Re
publicans are so welded to the single
gold standard that the barest mention
of bimetallism causes them to forget
Hanna, Alger and all the other evils OF
their party, except that of monometal-
lism. Chairman Kerr on the financial
issue, sounded the keynote of his party
for the next campaign when he said:
1--WE promised in 1896 that, if given the
power. we would make such amendments
to our currency laws as would correct
their evils and plant our monetary sys-
tenn upon basis sound and enduring. No
power was given us to make amend
ments until the election of the present
congress, and within forty days after it
had come. into existence Republican
committee OF us members met ana pre-
pared a plan in fulfilling that pledge. As
a member OF that committee. l am not at
liberty at this time to disclose even the
substance of its determination, but as
member of the Republican party l am at
liberty to declare what the Republican
party proposes to do. now that it has
power in both branches of congress and
in the executive. 1t proposes to enact
into the form of law the gold standard
and then il proposes to keep every dollar
in use in the country up to that stand
ard"
1t is the purpose of the Republican
party, according to every authority
that has spoken, to fasten the gold
standard upon the people as securely as
possible, so that it will be next to an
impossibility to rid themselves of the
bondage.
Still men say that the silver issue
has been eliminated as a living factor
from the politics of the day" 1t can
not even be made an issue of secondary
Importance, no matter what new issues
may demand consideration. For just as
soon as the Republican party under
takes to carry out its pledge to reform
the currency and favor the bank trust
there will be one of the greatest fights
that ever occurred in a national con-
gress. There will be more silver talk
than ever before, and the issue will
eclipse all others before the people by
the time that discussion is ended

HELD A MEETING.

At a meeting of the local board OF
health yesterday it was decided TO in
augurate a sanitary crusade at once,
and to correct the evils and abuses 10
which The Herald recently called at
tention.
In the discussion of sanitary condi-
lions it transpired that the board is
cognizant of the fact that the ordi-
nances are being violated in regard to
sewer connections, and that nuisances
are being maintained right in the
heart of the city, in disregard Of the
law and the health of the public
1t is gratifying to know that the
board has awakened to a sense of its
duties sufficiently at least to hold a
meeting and discuss the situation. If
nothing else comes of it, this much has
been accomplished. The members got
together and compared notes. So far
so good

LIES PLEASURES.

1t is pleasant to toy with a fair girls
hand
And to gaze in her velvety eyes:
It is pleasant to say sweet things to her
and
To give ear to her tremulous signs.
1t is pleasant to listen to words of praise
For duties one Loyalty done;
1t is pleasant to think of the sweet old
days,
After riches and honor are won.
It is pleasant to stand on mountain and
see
Green valleys spread under ones feet:
1t is pleasant to hold your wee child on
your knee
And hear him lisp words that are

But of all pleasant things in the world

Most pleasant to drift unconcerned
Living always from labor's annoyances

KINGS PREDICTIONS.


Nothing is to be gained by under-rat-
ms the ability of an adversary or IN
aer-estimating the strength of an en-
envy. It is just as well TO acknowl-
sdga that we have a big undertaking
before US in the Philippines and that.
no matter how often we defeat them
or how many are killed, it may require
years of time, millions of money and
hundreds of American lives to subju-
gate the natives.
1t all might have been averted by a
declaration of policy on the part of the
president some months ago, but he
dilly-dallied with the Filipinos until
they became suspicious, impatient, and
reckless. 1t is not too late now to end
the conflict, for the native leaders have
been suing for peace for more than a
fortnight; but all their overtures have
been rejected, so far, and with the
rainy season coming on and the Asiatic
plague in the vicinity Of the islands it
is unlikely that the natives will rely
ON open warfare any longer. They are
at home in the sickly swamplands of
the interior, thoroughly acquainted
with the jungles and mountain ravines,
Injured 10 the climate through genera
tons of contact, and reasonably i'm
mune from Oriental contagious.
English officers who do not discredit
the proves or power of endurance of
the American soldier said at the be-
ginning of hostilities that it might take
several years to establish the suprem-
acv of this government in the archipel-
ago.
General Charles Kings interview
which appeared in yesterdays dis
matches, is entitled to serious consid-
Grafton for he is one OF the most con-
spicuous officers on the American side,
having taken part in almost every lead
ing engagement Of the island war. He
says:
THE situation in the Philippines is most
serious The people of those islands viii
keep up q guerilla warfare, and there IS
no telling when hostiiities wlH cease
They retire to the Businesses OF the
mountains. retreat whea they are
whipped, and hide in the Jungles. Sub
sisting on practically nothing. they have
no need of base of supplies. 1t viii
necessitate a large force of men to sub
jugate them completely,
..The war in the Philippines is by no
means ended. Their intrenchments are
works of military engineering and con-
sfruction equal 10 the best the most
civilized military nations have produced.
Under the Spanish regime the Filipino
learned something OF war and We are
receiving evidence of this every day.
General Otis, in command OF the
American forces there, has become
discouraged at the prospect of ending
the conflict with the men he has. And
ne wonder. if other regiments have
Jared like that of Nebraska, whose 1000
men dwindled down to less than 300
