"Then what IS life?" I cried.

He received his answer almost i'm
mediately in the halls Of DEATH yet the
whole thing remains a commentary on
the poor fellows troubled life and
premature death. Byron wrote his last
poem on his last birthday, at fever
heated Missoulonghi, where he had
gone to take part in the struggle of
Greece for liberty. He was haunted by
the presentiment that he would never
return, and characteristic melancholy
breathed in his last lines:
Thy. days are in the yellow leaf;
The flowers and fruits of love are gone;
The worm, the canker and the grief
Are mine alone.
Arthur Hugh Clough, a remarkable
man, whose whole life was a struggle
with doubt, In his noble death poem at
last spoke hopefully:
Say not the struggle naugnt availeth,
The labor and the wounds are vain,
The enemy maimeth not nor faileth
And as things were they remain.
And not by eastern windows only.
When daylight comes, comes in the light.
In front the sun climbs slowly-how slowly;
But westward, look! the land is bright.
Compare this verse with a verse from
LonPfellow's last poem, 1.-THE Bells of
Bias:

STILL IN THE TRENCHES.

Sergeant D. H. Wells, formerly of
Battery \, who has been in this city
since the holidays, sought his discharge
last November, and, being a nephew
of the governor, obtained it.
He was entitled to his discharge, for
the war was over and his term of en-
listment had expired. We are glad he
is safe at home and able to discourse
on patriotism right or wrong, and only
wish that the other Utah boys who en-
listed at the same time were here to
listen to his remarks.
Among the latter is one Chester
Hope, the eldest son of a widowed
mother and the only means of support
OF her and her young children, who
reside in this city.
He. too. applied for discharge last
November upon the grounds stated.
His mother sent several applications
to the authorities at Washington and
has had friends who understand her
circumstances working TO accomplish
the same end.
But Chester Hope is still in the
trenches.

PEACE AND PEACE TALK.

If the car should ever happen to hear
of that peace demonstration at Logan
he will smile TO himself. When neigh
bors cannot get together in peace, to
discuss the topic OF. peace, what may
expected of the representatives of hos
tile nations, antagonistic governments,
unassimilable races meeting in one
great Babel of a convention?
1t has been whispered around that
the car is only sparring for wind and
that he doesn't care for peace anyhow.
That Russia has gone right ahead in
creasing her army and navy, establish
ing new ports and garrisons, improving
her defenses and perfecting her instru-
ments of death, ever since the emperor
signified his longing for universal
peace, are well-known facts. And so
it is generally conceded that the most
that can come of this conference of the
powers is a cessation of hostile prepar-
ations, or, perhaps, a partial disarma-
ment.
But Loganites have little excuse for
criticizing his cZarships activity on the
eve Of a peace meeting, since the pros
poets for obtaining for the human race
this unquestionable boon have brought
anything but peace to that ordinarily
quiet center of education and enlight-
enment
For it seems that, like the Russians,
our neighbors of the north went on
arming themselves while getting ready
TO talk peace. And the best result we
look for since the recent demOnstra-
tions is partial disarmament of the
friends of peace in the Temple City of
the north.
Let it not be said that while France
and Germany clink glasses at The
Hague, while the British lion and the
Russian bear lie down under the festal
board together while the American
eagle and Turkey roost upon the Fame
chandelier-that men men cried Peace
peace"' in Logan, but there was no
peace
OF all things. religion should not form
the basis Of an excuse for banishing
peace from meetings held to discuss the
sacred theme of universal brother mood
and never-ending peace.

TROUBLE IN THE TRANSVAAL

The Herald recently called attention
to the tension so tightly drawn in the
Transvaal between the Beers and the
Uitlanders. Well, it has almost reached
the swapping point From dispatches
printed this morning it appears that
the Boer authorities have fastened the
crisis that Cecil Rhodes and the secret
influences behind him have been trying
to bring about. Eight Englishmen
have been arrested on the charge of in
citing rebellion in the Transvaal and
the end is not yet.
During session of parliament the
other night, one of the Liberal mem
bers demanded of the government
leader to know the meaning of concen-
trating British forces in Dom PauPs
neighborhood. An evasive reply was
given This was regarded as signifi-
cant.
About two weeks ago. it is said. Mr..
Chamberlain forwarded to President
Kruger through the high commissioner
at Cape Town, firmly worded demand
that he shall carry out his obligations
to the queen, as paramount power. and
secure peace and order within the
South African republic. This was con-
sidered a response to the Uitlanders'
petition to Victoria, forwarded last
March.
So England and the Transvaal are
face 10 face again. II is hardly prob
able that Mr.. Chamberlain is looking

WOOL AND PROTECTION.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter calls attention to the fact that
with a duty of IL cents per pound in
this country on fine woods, the domestic
product is selling at such low prices
as to warrant its expectation.
This is no surprise to wooldealers. II
may be to woolgrowers. The latter &C
tually believed that the Dingley tariff
would help them. The former knew bet
ter. In fact, the officials of the Ma
tional Woolgrowers' association knew
better. Their protest against the Ding
ley wool schedule is a matter of rec
ord. And still, Republican campaign
ers were able to hoodwink sheepmen
and induce many to vote the Republi-
can ticket last fall because the price
of wool was fairly good. The sheepmen
thought the Dingley bill had made it
so. They never stopped to consider that
the price abroad was just as good, and
that when it fell in foreign markets it
would fall at home. They overlooked
the fact that the wool tariff was ar
ranged to the satisfaction of eastern
of the sheepraisers.
THE tariff has failed to meet the ex-
pectations of its friends says the
Springfield Republican And a we'll
known Chicago commission house, in a
recent circular, said that the wool sea-
son had been disappointment

Republican organs are trying to ex-
plain why American wool is selling at
lower price than the foreign article.
exclusive of the duty" One of them
says that this is IAN uncontrovertabIe
proof that the tariff does not keep up
prices forgetting, no doubt, the in
ducements it has held out in the past
for woolgrowers to vote the Republic
can ticket, or else abandoning them all
together in making a new appeal to
consumers.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, pro-
tectionist, eXpansionist and anti-silver.
makes this comment:
II shows that a duty may not be any
longer needed upon wool and therefore
as a revenue producer the tariff on wool
has failed 10 meet the expectations OF its
friends. In other words the industry has
Prospered under the protective tariff and
American wool can be sold and is sold
for less than the foreign article with the
duty attached.
All Of which naturally makes one
wonder where the sheepmen are 60

ELIJAH, WHERE ART THOU?

While goldbug contemporaries are re-
joicing over the Tribune's abandon
ment of the silver fight, as announced
in a recent editorial. the Boise CAPITAL
lnourns with us its going 1t refers
10 the fact that the editor Of the Salt
Lake Tribune has received recognition
by many as the Elijah Of the bimetallic
dispensation. For years he has been
a voice crying in the wilderness to pre-
pare the way for the better era. Like
his prototype, he has broken down the
.altars OF the gold idol worshipers, torn
down their images, put their cringinS
prophets to the sword, and drawn the
piowshare over their entombed and de-
serted fanes."
Il calls attention TO the place Of
prominence given our neighbor because
of it, never again" editorials three
short years ago, and adds:
But alas, Elijah is now under the
juniper tree sniveling his discouraging

terrified plutocrats be runs UP the
white flag. He cries: 1t is enough"
He walls like a sick girl. He wines
with chattering teeth and knees knock
ing together: Our judgment IS that it
is useless 10 make another stand for
silver in this country until conditions
change" We are in doubt which TO
apply-the plying glance, the encour-
aging word. or the scourge. His cow
ardly words in the hour OF preparation
for battle has had the effect of splitting
1he ears of the gold standard ground
lings. but the judicious are grieved.
They have been rolled as dainty NOR
sells under the tongues of the enemies
OF bimetallism and quoted encourag-
ingly by gold standard sheets. They
have wounded loyal hearts and brought
shame and confusion of face 10 true
friends of reform. They are as a smoke
in the nostrils of brave men eager to
measure arms again with the Repub-
lean Goliath, who, mad with spells and
drunk with dreams of imperial glory
and conquest, struts before high
heaven and defies the armies of Israel.
All % which is true. There isn't

copying the Tribune's editorial ana
asking the followers of Hanna to take
courage from this indication of disin-
tegsaticn on the part of the silver
FORCES. They do not seem to realize
that the silver forces are stronger to-
day than they ever were. For the NAL
contents and traitors and fnsineere sup
porters Of the cause are being weeded

The Capital calls attention to the de-
crepitude of the excuses our neighbor
gives for its desertion, and says:

A DEAD ISSUE.
CManti. Messenger, Rep

(Manti. Messenger, Rep.)
Speaking of John Q. and Frank j.
Cannon, the Juab County Republican
says that lit requires no gift of proph-
ecy to foresee the craftsmanship infiu-
ence these gentlemen VIII exert in the
undercurrent leadership of the pub
lie side of the Latter-day Saints
organization. We would suggest
to the editor of the Repub-
lican that he repent and be bap-
tized, or re-baptized. after which. he
will more than likely see the error he
is so blindly advocating at present.
You must get over the idea, Brother
De War, that the salvation of silver
depends entirely upon the reelection
of Frank Cannon. He is a mining man
now, a retired politician, and last, but
not least, a dead issue.

Major Dick Young has offended a
local blackguard by referring to col
ored people as ''niggers-" This, says
the upstart, is only done by uncultur-
ed whites" Well, there are negroes
and niggers. The negro is a type of the
black race. The niger is a sort of
missing link, who sets himself up as a
critic of white men and a judge of the
morals of white women, while he lacks
the common decency and politeness OF
the negro. The niger is a rape fiend
down south and when he comes north
he abuses white folks in some other
way. The negro is all right. The mig
ger is the only good excuse for lynch
ing we ever knew

at the meeting of the board in commit

supporting the republican ticket which
they supported secretly in 1896 The
masses of the Democratic people are
true to silver and the Chicago plat
form. They have been betrayed by
gold standard headers at times, but
they have taken them by the throat
and choked them into comparative ST.
lence if not into submission. That
Democracy in 1896 had the courage to
shake herself free from her plutocratic
leaders and again declare for the peo-
pie is one of the miracles of history.
Every indication now points to repe-
tition of that miracle in 1900. No man
acquainted with the trend of events in
this nation doubts for a moment that
the Democratic party will declare for
silver in 1900 and renominate Bryan
But it will not be done without strug-
gle. The plutocratS and money-chang-
ers in the Democratic party are doing
all they can to prevent ii, and silver
papers, especially in the west, should
hold up the hands of Bryan and en-
courage the masses in this fight against
the bosses. II silver papers in silver
states play the coward and cry out in
despair that ii is useless longer TO con-
tinue the fight for silver, what effect
must such traitorous conduct have on
the rank and file of the south and mid
die west that are now preparing the
preliminaries for another battle for
the white metal? They need the united
voice Of the people of the west bidding
them hope and pledging them death
less loyalty to the cause of man. They
should hear no wall of despair, but
ringing clear and true across our snow
peaks where sleep illimitable treasures
Of gold and silver, from every city and
hamlet of the west, the struggling
heroes there should catch the weird
strains OF the pibroch and the silver
notes of the inspiring Marseillaise. No
