Paced by Steam Motor, Major Taylor
Beats the Worlds Bicycle Record

Chicago, Aug. 5-After repeated trlals
for the one-mile record, Major Taylor
the colored wonder, whirled around the
Garfield track cement path in LIZ 20
the fastest time ever made by rider
on regulation track. Three times
TAYLOR tried to turn the trick at Ravens
wood. but Munger's internal machine
was out of order at each attempt. Twice
he tried at Garfield park and failed be-
cause of his pace. Thursday, however
everything was ready. The day was
almost at a close, there was not
breath of air stirring, and for the hrst
time the machine was in perfect shape
After all the officials had been select,

AS Taylor entered the one-half mile

"REMEMBER THE MAINE"

This day is the first anniversary of
the destruction of the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor
Representative Tawney of Minnesota
proposes that the day shall be generally
observed and the tragic memories of
that dire disaster impressed upon the
minds Of the American people. 1t was
nothing but IAN unfortunate incident
said President Mckinley in his message
to congress accompanying the report of
naval experts showing beyond question
that it was the result of Spanish
treachery. But it was an epoch-making
incident. 1t was the beginning of a
war which drove Spain from the Amer
lean continent. 1t marked the dawn
of new era in the policies of this re-
public.
Some recognition of the day is appro-
pirate. Flags should be lowered at
half-mast all over the country and on
every American ship. Congress requires
this to be done upon all public build
ings, which is as far, perhaps, as Off
cial action can go in commemorative
the occasion. Private enterprise and
individual ingenuity may go further. 1t
is we'll to remember the day as the sol
diers and sailors remember the
Maine; not with rancor and revenge,
but in sorrow for the brave men who
lost their lives one year ago today; and
in pity for the miserable wretches who
were responsible for that disaster.
Should this become an annual occa-
sion for mournful observance, the emo
lions of the day should be tempered
with the dignity and self restraint
which marked the patriotic determine
ton of the people of this republic when
they heard the sad news and only
wanted to know they were right that
they might go ahead.
And when the responsibility of Spain
was fixed they went ahead, though
Spain went faster

BRING ON YOUR PROOF.

For several months our morning con-
temporary has been making indirect
charges against the elders. high officials
and organization of the dominant
church in Utah.
Generally the charges were made by
innuendo. Sunday there was an utter
abandonment Of indirection, and the
following serious charges were made by
the Tribune as statements of fact. 1t
positively declared:
Z. There are polygamous wives all
over Utah, who have been married since
1885.
,. Apostles are compelling the people
to practice polygamy-
3. Polygamists are forced by the
church authorities to renew their reta-
tons severed by the manifesto.
4. Women in church meetings are
coaxing young girls to enter polygamy.
5. The highest officials of the church
are iustifying evasions of the law.
These are serious charges. Fer them
n 90 out, with the rest of the matter
the Tribune is. sending east, unchal-
teneed. would work great injury to the
s+afe They are. not accusations against
II Roberts. but against a whole peo-
he against the leaders of the people.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-15
FROM ANOTHER STANDPOINT

On the 4th of last July, in the course
Of a speech delivered in the Salt Lake
tabernacle, Senator Cannon, as re-
ported by the Tribune, said:
You will permit one who was born
in Utah and raised among her people
to say that no people ever suffered so
much at the hands of their govern
ment, and continued to love it, as did
Utah's people"
That, said our morning contempora-
~, was the sentiment of a reactionist
Commenting at length upon the speech
the Tribune said:
"Of course, all that is but sorry rot;
and, further, it is an arraignment of
the government and a portion of the
people of the United States which
lacks every element Of both justice and
truth
AS an excuse for devoting consider
able space to criticism of the speech,
our neighbor said:
I'VE refer to it for two reasons. The
man who delivered the speech is a SEN
ator Of the United States, and his
words have weight before the country
and the world; and, second, the same
spirit (reactionary) has repeatedly
cropped out since statehood was Sc
cured, until it sometimes looks as
though there was a determination to
fix in history an impression which
would crystalline into a seeming fact
the government of the United States
and a portion of it's people pursued an
innocent people for years with perse-
cutions almost unparalleled"
According to our morning contem-
porary, Senator Cannon was a ''reac-
zionist" six months ago. When did he
become a progressionist? AS soon as
that Woman's Republican club asked
for his resignation?
There is something more than pass
ing strange about this case. Are none
progressive except those who announce
themselves as bad men," and hire a
hall in order to attack their enemies?
Is this what young Utah is expected
to do to save the state from disgrace
and the charges of immortality and
lawlessness? It is we'll to know what
it takes to constitute a hero in the es-
timation of the organ of the Rising
Storm. By its chosen evangel, one may
judge the nature of it's new crusade.

.ALGER is AFTER MILES.

+
General Miles was informed by his
officers and men that the beef supplied
the army of invasion in Porto Rico
was unfit to eat.
He referred the matter to Chief Sur
geon DAILY, who was a competent chem
list. By analysis the man of science dis
covered that the so-called refrigerator
beef was soaked in acids, the like of
which are used in the preparation of
dead bodies for burial.
He reported his discoveries to Cen
eral Miles, who, in turn, related the
facts to the war investigation commits
sion.
From the beginning that commission
showed that its main purpose was to
vindicate Alger and cover the scandals
of the administration with a thick coat
of whitewash.
So General Miles told his story to peo-
pie and to the president as well as to
the whitewashers. Had he mentioned
it to no one but the latter the COM
plant would have been pigeon-l1oled
along with the findings of the chemist.
AS it was, the commission refused to
credit the testimony of men, officers
and experts, preferring the denials of
Armour's lobbyists, interested parties
to the concession, accomplices in Ea-
gan's crime instead.
And now General Miles is to be court
martialed. For what? For standing
UP for his men. For insisting upon
wholesome food for his army. For
complaining because the meat furnish
ed his soldiers was saturated in death
dealing acids. For exposing Armour's
chicanery and hurting the feelings OF
that colossal humbug-Alger.
Miles made Eagan angry. Eagan re-
taliated brutalIy, but directly. Miles
likewise offended Alger, whose revenge
will be taken through the medium of
packed courtmartial.
Eagan is a brazen blackguard. Alger
a sneaking one.
