BOSTON,S CITY PRINT SHOP.

The annual report of the printing de-
partment of the city of Boston has
been received. 1t speaks We'll for mu-
nicipal ownership, as the public print
ing is all done in offices and with type
and machinery owned and operated by
the municipality. Thousands of dol
lars are saved annually to the taxpay-
ers of Boston by this arrangement,
which has proved so satisfactory that
other public work will undoubtedly be
included in the same system before
long.
Municipal ownership is not an issue
in Boston politics. but with common
consent the people have given it a trial
and they are more than pleased, with
the results They are enthusiastic in
its commentator.
In cities like Toledo, Detroit and Chi
cago, where corporate interests are
constantly clashing with public well
fare, the question of public ownership
of public utilities and municipal con-
troll Of municipal contracts and sup
plies, has been made a party issue.
But wherever the plan has had a fair
trial the people are not only unwilling
to give it up. but want it to include
other lines of public business.

IN GOLD They Trust.

The bankers trust is not perfected
and may not be until the Republican
congress next winter passes the cur
rency bill prepared for it last June at
the Atlantic City caucus. Still, the
American Bankers association has
been in session at Cleveland, o., the
home of modern Republicanism, for
several days and the resolution unani-
mously adopted shows how closely in
touch with the money power the admin
istration keeps. The resolution, which
reads like a plank from a Republican
platform, a, paragraph from one Of Nc
Kinley's messages, or a section from
the articles of faith defended by the
League of Republican Clubs, is as fol-
lows:
The bankers of the United States most
earnestly recommend that the congress
OF the United States, at its next session,
enact a law TO more forcibly and unequiv-
ocably establish the gold standard in this
country by providing that the gold dollar
which, under the existing law. is The unit
of value. shall be the standard and meas
ure of all values in the United States:
that all the obligations of the government
and all paper money, incluulng circu-
lating notes of national banks shall be
redeemed in gold coin, and that the legal
tender notes of the United States. when
paid into the treasury. shall not be re-
issued. except upon the deposit of an
equivalent amount of gold CON-"
This is exactly what the present adj
ministration is pledged to do. The rea
son it has not been done before has
been explained several times by the
Republican press. The senate would
not permit it. Owing to the extraordi-
nary efforts of the goldites in the sew
eral states, they have succeeded, by
corruption, deception and the aid of a
venal press, in electing senators OF. their
own ilk or in preventing the election of
those they knew would stand for sill
YER.
Consequently the congress that meets
in December is all that Hanna's heart
desires, and unless internal strife
arises over the distribution of spoils,
the purpose of the money kings as ex-
pressed in the bankers resolution, will
be accomplished.

PREPARE FOR BRYAN.

Bryan's reception tomorrow evening
should be a rouser. 1t is estimated that
10000 people will come in from outside
points and that more than twice that
many will be able to hear him at the
Salt Palace grounds.
Great silver meetings are being held
IN the extreme east. Interest in the
cause is being awakened as it never
was before. Conservative men who
hesitated in 1896 are becoming con-
WINGED that bimetallism is the only alb
solutely honest financial system for a
government like this. Those who were
timid about the adoption of policy
without the consent of European pow
ers have about concluded that this
country is rich enough and great
enough to frame and adopt and main
tain its own monetary system. The
iron is hot. It is just the time for sill
yer champions to begin pounding away
on the anvil Of public opinion. In the
turmoil and strife of presidential
campaign, men will refuse to listen who
may be converted today.
Let Bryan's reception be an inspira-
ton for the east and middle west. The
people here may need no argument.
They may all be convinced. But they
should not allow the goldbugs to think
that in the bimetallic west the interest
is waning. 1t has gained in the east
1t has lost nothing here.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The attendance last night at the Salt
Lake theatre for the opening of the
season was excellent, and the demon
stration, increasing as it went upwards
toward the galleries, was approving
and at times noisy. The pent-up en-
thuSiaSm of the vacation season found
vent last night at the slightest provo
cation, and every effort was made by
that "A Bachelors Honeymoon" is a
roaring" and screaming" farce.
The somewhat paradoXical' title is
simply explained upon opening the
programme by the discovery that
Bachelor is the name of the leading
character. The plot deals with his eff
forts to keep his marriage to a variety
actress a secret from his sister, who,
by the terms of their fathers will, con-
trolls the estate. The fact that Bache-
elor's wife was previously engaged to
marry German doctor, who is in love
with one of Bachelors twin daughters,
further complexities matters. The per-
Torrance is of the fast and furious or
der, in which situations are hurled in
rapid succession. The play is fashioned
on familiar lines, yet contains some I'M
hackneyed situations. At times there
are distinct gaps, which are thinly
there are also moments in the perform
ance when propriety skates on thin ice,
but these are few and not as extreme
as the French farces of the ION and
OFF, variety.
There are not prolonged talky mo-
ments, but the performance is brisk
and lively from beginning to end.
The part of Benjamin Bachelor is
played by Mr.. William McVay, who ex-
tracts all the fun possible out of his
role. He is on the stage al 1.-The time,
and really carries the play on his
shoulders. The other leading part, that
of his wife, is played by Miss Della
Stacey, who interpolates some spe-
cialties which were highly appreciated
by the audience last night. She sang
ION the Road to Mandalay,' and re-
sponded to the enthusiastic encores
with coon songs. Another interesting
figure in the cast was the "slavey''
played naturally by Miss Castro. Mr.
Joe Sivicard, as the detective, was in
cined to overdo the eccentricities of
his part and was not particular about
his enunciation. The part of the Ger
man was we'll written, in true farce
comedy style, and was played accept
ably by Mr.. Charles Bates. The other
parts were filled satisfactorily by Miss
Tracey, Miss Temple, Miss Hathaway,
Mr.. Brewer and Mr. Morehead. The
piece runs the remainder of the week,
with a matinee on Saturday.
The next attraction at the Salt Lake
theatre is "Hotel Topsy Turvy," which
comes Oct. 2. The Grand opens on the
18th of this month with "a Yenuine
Yentleman." 1900.

APPEAL TO The KAISER.

Why should France appeal to Ger
many to save her from disgrace? No
matter whether the kaiser feels dis
posed to point out all the liars on the
general staff of the French army or
not, most of them have confessed their
mendacity long since others have been
so tangled up on the witness stand by
Labori that no disinterested spectator
doubts their ability to outlie Munchau-
sen. General Zurlinden, whose word is
TO be disputed by Wilhelm, admitted on
Wednesday that he had deliberately
lied about Picquart in order to con-
vict him six months ago.
Why consult the emperor of Germany
or any other oracle? AS general prop
osition the presumption in French
courtsmartial should be that the wit
nesses are stating falsehoods. This
would harmonic with that we'll estab-
lished rule of French jurisprudence
that the accused is considered guilty
until he establishes his innocence be-
yond the shadow of a doubt. 1t would
also harmonic with the general char
dClSE VI int NllicSotS lIlIOUQCtQ ny the
Dreyfus prosecution.
It shouldn't be necessary to disturb
the kaiser in his Stuttgart retreat for
an expression of opinion on a point so
generally conceded. Almost anybody
not connected with the general staff
of France would be willing to furnish
a testimonial to the untruthfulness of
Zurlinden, MERCER, Biilot or Roget, as
ably demonstrated between 1894 and
1899.

CAPTAIN CARRIERS DEFIANCE.

The sensational case of Captain Car
ter. who stands convicted of the embez-
element of more than million and a
half of public moneys, was to have
been finally disposed of this week, ac-
cording to the statement Of the attor-
ney general. There has been nothing
done as yet, and an eastern paper init
mates that nothing will be done COM
mensurate with the crime, owing to
dent breads even more than he breads
the disgust of the public. His business
is with the politicians first and the peo-
pie next. The convention comes before
the election. He must cultivate the
bosses and the workers. The people
are to be coerced, hoodwinked and cor
rupted, as far as possible, according to
the plans and specifications followed
by Mark Hanna in 1885,
Carriers new attitude has added to
the presidents difficulties in disposing
of him. Al first the captain was light
hearted. He had been promised pro-
lection. He had been guaranteed i'm
nunity from punishment in considera-
ton for his silence. AS his confeder-
ates were evidently men of influence at
Washington he relied upon their guar
antees. Therefore he took his arrest
two years ago as joke, laughed when
the colutmartial found him guilty
year and a half ago and has continued
to wear his uniform and draw full pay
in the regular army, ever since. Re-
Gently public opinion has demanded an
explanation of his lenient treatment
while scores of soldiers have been
sentenced and put in prison for small
Ter offences since his conviction. The
president has made one excuse and an
other for his extraordinary proscrastin-
alton. Yet the public is not satisfied.
The clamor for the truth has alarmed
the captain. He has lost his fippant
manner. He has become defiant He is
at bay and threatens exposures unless
he is left alone. His attorneys say
that he has been made a scapegoat.
They are trying TO get him cleared on
a technicality, but the real force of
their contention lies in the threat of
exposure.
Who are Carriers confederates, if he
has any? Whom is he shielding from
the law? This Of itself is a crime. No
man would do it and take upon himself
the odium except an accomplice, a re-
ceiver OF stolen property. Somebody
has piundered the government of mil
lion and half of dollars. No matter
who it is, whether rich or poor, high
or low, they should be punished.

distinguished the French. AT the pres
ent. time, despite the great advance
made by other literatures and GER
tain falling off in itself, French prose is
on the average superior in formal merit
to any other prose written in modern
language.
A fourth merit is to he found in the in

In no literature is there a greater va

scientific development of the possibili-
ties of art.
Yet another characteristic must be
noted, which is. in respect to matter,
the complement of the already men,

singular clearness and precision with
which not merely the greatest French
men of letters, but all save the least,
are accustomed to put their meaning.

SEPARATION. While Zolal studies printed
documents or unwittingiy abandons
himself to his instinct Of divination,
Daudet confines himself closely to liv-
ing reality, and his entire method con-
sists in fixing the direct impressions he
has gathered. The one betrays nothing
of himself; the other throws himself
completely into his work. The one does
not retreat from what is ignoble, but
rather seems to delight in it, and his
work only merits the name of realism
when 1t exposes to all eyes the vile
ness of human bestiality. The other
portrays evil with no less force, but is
always holding himself above what is
too obscene in reality, for his delicacy

styles, always in motion, intangible in
its variety, so vivid, so rapid and so

But in order TO make a complete study
of Daudet we must successfully take
up the points upon which we have just
touched in comparing him with Zola--
Pellissier.
AS was the case with many young
men at that time, Victor Hugo was
Zola's ideal. He knew all his poems
by heart. There was not a more thor
ough romancer than Emile. His liking
for Hugo bordered on veneration. and
he was never as happy as when, in the
evening, he read for his mother from
the "Odes and Ballads" or the ''Orien-
tales which, despite all that may be
said in praise of his subsequent works,
will be considered by many as the
poets masterpieces. Later in life, when
lola began to read meditatively, his
favorite authors were Musset, Ba1zac.
Flaubert and Taine. From the latter
he derived that quiet, firm and method
ical analysis which constitutes his
power. But owing to some change in
the custom house administration, the
unfortunate Emile was dismissed. He
wandered through Paris aimlessly and
unmindful of all that was going on
around him. He would often pass
whole day sitting on a bench in the
garden of the Luxembourg, writing
verses, while his pocket and stomach
were empty.-Maurice Mauris.
