venge-a threatened uprising, a secret
meeting, a murder follows. and then a
mob and a lynching and frequently in
nocent men are made to suffer.
Lynching is wrong. 1t is an out
break of savagery. But, among civil
lied men, savagery does not crop out
without excuse, without provocation.
No man can justify lynch law, and yet
men resort to it in other states than
those OF the south. and have practiced
ii in the absence of adequate laws and
punishment for nameless offenses, and
even for petty crimes while laying the
corner stones of civilization in the west.
There is no fear of the intellectual
domination OF the colored race. as some
absurdly intimate. 1t is the danger of
the domination of an inferior race by
sheer brute force that the white men
of the negro populated districts fear
most.
The negro who imagines that he is
doing his people a service by counsel
ing resentment and advocating revenge
may be sincere, but he is mistaken. The
groes to combat race prejudice with
force or threats of force is the real
enemy Of those whom he undertakes to
serve.
The better plan and the only feasible
one is to devise some means whereby
the interests and the social and political
aspirations of the two races do not
clash.
1t is in this work that Professor Book
er T. Washington is engaged. It is along
this line that Kelly Miller is working.
And the reason they are actually inter-
ested in the. amelioration of their peo-
pie, in the advancement of their race,
is that they are not politicians working
for immediate advantage or selfish
ends.

WHERE ARE YOU NoWq

Our morning contemporary is always
prating about what it has done for sill
yer. 1t has given the cause consider
able "lip-service" in the past, it is
true. but that was before the local Re-
publican party had given its unquali-
fed endorsement to all of Mckinley S
policies" That was before the Repub-
licans OF Utah dropped the silver
prefix from their party name and be
came a part of an organization ire
deemably pledged to the single gold
standard. That was while it could still
pretend that the Republican party was
a silver party. II was before Arthur
Brown had cracked his whip.
When it comes TO walking backwards
and beguiling the public with fairy tales
OF its early existence, our neighbor is
a veritable Hans Andersen The COM

the fact that yesterday he did differ

justification nor consistency. And it's
pure childishness for one newspaper to
set up a whine about the sacrifices it
has made and claim that no other pa
per but il would have renowned a. gold
platform. That is baby talk.
After all. the best way to judge of the
honesty, the intentions, the devotion to
principle Of men or newspapers is to
note where they stand today-what
they are working for and the political
views of the candidates they support
at present.
Whenever a. newspaper processes TO
be Tor independent bimetallism while 1t
advocates the election and appointment
Of goldites TO Office, it is a hypocrite.
Whenever it pretends to favor free
coinage, even though it actually did at
one time favor it, yet endorses and
applauds all the policies Of President
Mckinley" rest assured that such a
paper is wilfully deceiving its readers.
It didn't suffice for Benedict Arnold,
after giving aid and encouragement to
the enemy, to refer to his record as a
fighter and a patriot. The question
was not What have you been, General
Arnold? II was, What are you now?
Where are you fighting? Where are
your sympathies? With whom have you
linked your fortunes?
And these are the questions our
morning contemporary should answer
to its readers, instead OF beguiling
them with braggart boasts of what it
has been and has done.

SHOULD BE MARKED.

The Logan Journal prints a letter
from James II. Martineau, formerly of
Utah. at present in Mexico. which con-
tains some valuable suggestions in re-
lation to minority rights and majority
rule. As the gentleman numbers
among his Logan friends and relatives
some of the most radical opponents of
majority rule in representative bodies.
his words may fall on stony ground.
In fact. one Of them recently sent an
anonymous communication to a con-
temporary, full of oracular observa-
lions concerning the running of Demo-
cratic newspapers and legislative as
semblies, which marked its author as a
consummate egotist.
Speaking of the obstructionists. Mr..
James H. Martineau, in his letter to the
Journal, says:
1.-THE men who have brought such
disgrace, not only upon themselves. but
upon the Democratic party. should
from this time forth be marked. and
forever barred from all positions of
honor or trust in any political party.
Men who have known through more
than a hundred ballotings that they
could not possibly elect their pet can
didate, had not shadow of right to
prevent the election of some other one.
favored by a greater number.
No person in public Office is placed
there for his own personal aggrandize-
ment, but to act for the greatest public
good. sinking his personal interests
and inclinations. Among all peoples
who enjoy the right of elective fran
chise, the right of the majority to rule
is unquestioned, and is the very
foundation stone of the liberty of a
nation or people. Deny this right, and
the franchise is a farce.
Hereafter, when vacancies in the
state legislature are to be filed. care
should be taken to select men broad
minded and above such petty and pitt
ful exhibitions as recently displayed in
the ballotings for senator-in fact, elect
men, not pinheads.
"As one Of the pioneers of Utah. the
writer cannot but feel panied and dis
gusted.'
The fact that Mr. Martineau is we'll
known and well versed in Utah affairs.
and that he had no special interest in
any ones candidacy, but wrote with
only the welfare of the party and the
state at heart, entities his letter to
some consideration, even from the
young man Of Cache who airs his views
in Republican organs on Democratic
policies.

AeulNALDo's CAPITAL.

Agoncillo has been interviewed in
Paris. He says that ''the capture of
MaloIos is not so important as Amer
leans are trying to make it appear,
since the Filipino government had al
ready determined on removal to San
Fernando"
Evidently. No sooner does. the
United States flag get in sight of
Aguinaldo than he reaches some such
determination.
He seems to believe in the old mon
archist doctrine that wherever the
king is, there is the capital. His crown
travels as fast as his legs; his emblem
of authority, the gold whistle, is tied
to his neck, and his throne is the tail
of his coat. Where he pauses to catch
his breath, there is his court and there
his capital.
No use in talking, the insurgent ruler
has things handy.

career in hotels, and one of his theories
has been that the mind can be so trained
that a. hotel fire ought not to distract the

strongly upon Mrs. Morrison by instruct
ing her how to act II they were ever in a
hotel that was on fire.
He and his wife were aroused from
their SAUNDERS one night by an alarm.
The hotel in which they had their rooms
was on fire and there was great confusion
and tumult among the guests.
Now is the time to put into practice
what L have always preached to you, my
dear sald the gentleman. Don't get eX-
cited. Put on all your INDISPENSABLE APP
parel and take your time. Don't lose your
mead. Just watch me-.
He Gained Mrs. Morrisons anxiety,
handed her the articles necessary to her
toilet, put on his collars and cuffs, took
his watch from under his pillow and
placed it in his pocket, put on his hat,
and walked with Mrs. Morrison out, of
the burning building into the street.

were safe, don't you see what a grand
thing it is to keep cool and act with de-
liberate purpose in an emergency like
this? Here you are dressed and over you-

Just then Mrs Morrison for the first
time glanced at her husband

Fun of the Pastry Cook.
(New York Sum-


Did you notice that tall, amiable-lools-
ing young man that just passed through
asked the clerk of a hotel in a western
city of a guest. No? Well, he is our
pastry COOK and he is a good one, too.
But the special point is that he has just
passed through one of the most thrilling
experiences that fall to the knights OF
the green cloth.
Just SIX weeks ago he was employed
here. The morning after he signed the
weekly payroll he reported for DUTY, but
complained being i'll, borrowed 81 from a
fellow servant with which to purchase
some medicine, and was excused for the
day. He had lost his wages the night be-
fore at King Faro. Instead OF purchasing
medicine wlth the borrowed 81. he again
tempted fate, and by nightfall had $3.50.
He resigned his job, repaid the 81, and
started out for blood with a S25 limit. At
the end of the second sitting he had about
$1,000 He kept at it for two weeks, by
which time his roll contained $4,000. The
legislative session was about to open and
he decided to embark in business, as he
said that he had q premonition that his
lucky streak was rapidly nearing an end,
and he purchased a restaurant on Main
street, Albany, for 5000, and spent an
other $1,000 in improvements. He was
soon enjoying a prosperous business.
But he had faro fever and could not
endure the slow and sure method OF
money-making and, upon receiving good
offer for his establishment, accepted 1t and
started a faro game over a saloon. and
was fairly coming money. In fact, it
seemed as though everything he touched
turned into gold. In the course of another
two weeks some other lucky men came
along. and the cook was taken down the
line for nearly $1,000 in one night. He
then sold out, and with the remaining
three or four thousand proceeded to buck
the tiger He lasted only about ten days,
when he applied to us for his old job and,
as said before, he is good culinary ar

and the only reference heSmade to his ups
and downs was, This sporting life is

He was seen to emerge from ready
made clothier's. AS he reached the
pavement he suddenly became con-
scious that everybody in the street was
looking at him.
Most people feel that way when they
first put on a new suit of clothes.
There were wrinkles in the coat
across the shoulders, and the trousers
were creased as though they had been
on the shelf for ages.
1t is probable that no one would have
noticed this, for such sights are a com
mon occurrence in the streets of a
great city. Still, the boys saw some
thing to boot at, and boot they did as
he walked along.
Where did you get them?" some one
yelled.
He has got a e3 suit marked down
to G2-see!' said another
Still the object of this chaff hurried
along, seemingly unaware that the
commotion in the street was about
