Never in the history of the weather
bureau has there been SO much snow
in Salt Lake in May. The fall yester-
day amounted to Al inches, as against
3.5 for May, 1887, which is its nearest
neighbor. The 1887 snow. by a curious
coincidence, also fell on the 1st of May
On three other occasions, according to
Weather Sharp Murdoch, there has
been a trace of snow in May. These
were in 1895, 1896 and 1898.
Yesterdays snow. although extreme
ly ire-inspiring in the downtown dis
trict, was very slightly in the residence
sections. The shade and fruit trees
We're pictures long to be remembered
The snow clung to the leaves and
blossoms until, in layers an inch or
more thick, it bent the branches into
graceful curves and fantastic shapes,
that nodded gently in the moisture
laden breeze.
The snow did something else. If pre-
dictions are correct, it will kill the
peaches, cherries, apricots and nectar
ines. The apples, pears and plums are
believed to be all right, unless a freeze
should come within the next day or
two. If freezing weather strikes the
trees in their present soaked condition,
it. will be all off with all kinds of fruit.
The snow in many cases damaged trees
layer of It on tender branches made
the weight too great to be resisted.
This will shorten that part of the crop
which escaped the blight.
Surprised Citizens.
The character of the weather of yes
terday was very much of a surprise to
most Salt Lakers. Sunday had been
cool, but even the goose bone failed to
indicate that May day would be COM
posed of so measly an aggregation of
weather. When the unsuSpecting citi-
zen awoke yesterday morning and saw
the kind of trick winter had played on
him, there was much mental and ut
tered growing. Overshoes that had
been working overtime up to a few
weeks ago We're dug out of musty lum-
Der rooms. Heavy overcoats and mack
intoshes that good housewives had
slowed away in chests and mothballs,
were resurrected. Street car motormen
got out their "buffalos" and let down
the snowplows on their cars. and near
ly all adults, excepting, of course. the
coal man, We're thoroughly ill-tempered.
The small boys got some fun out of
what will probably be their last chance
for SNOWFALL practice, and they were

Sound Money Democrats.

The Chicago platform Democrats,
who have been huggihg the delusion
that those members Of the party who
renowned allegiance to the 16-to-1 fall
lacy have forgotten the manner In
which they were driven out of the
Democratic fold. are being brought to
a realization Of their mistake by the
significant action Of the sound money
wing Of the party organization in Mary
land. Many supposed that the results
Of 1895 were sufficient to snuff out the
waverlng lights of the ignis fatuus
that Bryan was following in the
swamps of false financial theories, but
as he has again raised the banner Of
strange device" and with persistent in
sistency has Haunted 1t in the faces of
the gold standard men of the Nation,
they have resumed their activity in
combating his peculiar views.
There are other evidences OF renewed
hostillties 10 Mr.. Bryan's views on the
money question. one of the most conse
ouential comes from General HoTatio
c. King. the leading member Of the
Brooklyn Democratic club, who. in re-
signing his membership from that or
ganlzation, improves the occasion to
say in his letter of resignation: 81 hope
to live to witness the return of the
Democratic party to its time-honorad
principles, when this midsummer mad
ness Of Organism and PopulIsm shall
have passed away. In the coming ma
tlouaI contest there is no place for a
third party movement, and l shall not
hesitate to work with the party which
stands for honest money, the suprem-
acy Of law and the unqualified support
OF the government in its endeavors to
put down rebellion. This Is my idea of
true Democracy. and reject the Spu-
rIous article folsted upon the party by
the infatuated Chicago convention and
its followers"
These convictions have taken deep
root among the more thoughtful Demo-
Gratis in every section Of the country,
and 1t is possible that before the snow
flies Mr.. Bryan will be answered by
voices from Ohio, kentucky and Mary
land.

states Prosperity.

Senator Elklns. who is just winding
up business trip throughout the STATE.
speaks at length Of his observations in
another column OF to-day's Intelll-
gencer. confirming all previous reports
of the large share Of the prosperity
that has come to the country that has
fallen to West Virginia. The whole
people OF the state, according to the
Senator, are busily employed. while the
demand for labor cannot be supplied.
This is especially true in the mines and
ra.lrocd construction.
Never before have such good times
come to the state, and the present con-
ditions have served to make the people
contented with their lot, They have
no desire to change administrations.
The present suits them well enough,
and there is no reason why the Rcpub-
llcans should not continue in the con-
troll of AFFAIRS. They can IL they will
compose-themselves to meet the enemy
with united 'front.'

desperate Tactics.

Mclean is STOPPING to the most
shameful tactics in his campaign in
Ohio. He recently went to the dis
graceful extreme OF publishing a bogus
interview with ex-secretary Sherman,
in which that revered old Republican
was made to predict disaster in Ohio
this year and the defeat of President
Mckinley next year.
The interview was Immediately repu-
dated in 4 dispatch to the Rev York
Mail and Express, in which the ex-sec-
rotary says: 81 did not utter q single
statement attributed to me in the inter-
View" To make the bogus character OF
the interview still more plain a letter
was received from Mr.. Sherman by the
Republican state Committee Of Ohio on
the same day the fraudulent Interview
was printed, in which sentiments ex-
actIy opposite to those in the interview
are uttered.
And the man who is guilty Of Gather
ing such misrepresentation has the
audacIty to ask the good people of Ohio
10 elevate him to the gubernatorial
chair. Such desperate methods are
worthy of the man whose chief nlmoner
is Allen o. Myers.
