TALE OF A SHIRT.

The superior intelligence and irwin
chile genius of higher civilization, in
roduced into the Philippines by mani
fest destiny" and kept there for pur-
poses of benevolent assimilation" are
beginning to make themselves felt
An esteemed contemporary, the New
York Tribune vouches for the truth of
the following story from a returned
regular, with whom it claims an ac-
quaintaDce:
His company was returning from a
long and tiresome scouting trip. in
which the men had lost the greater part
of their wearing apparel. when he saw
on a clothes line in the grounds of a
residence adjoining a big stone church
two very good shirts hung out to dry.
AS he had at the tim only half shirt
to his back. he proceeded to help him
self to a whole one. whereupon a wom-
an came out of the house and said to
him in passable English, You will pay
for that on the Judgment Day" Mad
am, he replied. you give such long
credit that I will take both shirts. -
which he proceeded to do.
Evidently we have a solemn duty to
discharge toward these benighted be-
ings in Luzon. We must teach them
the tricks of civilization.

ooLDeUG BLUFFlNG.

The Democratic party has cut its
throat with its specific declaration Tor
the immediate restoration OF the rree
and unlimited coinage OF silver ana GOA
at the present legal ratio of Is TO l with
out waiting for the aid or consent OF any
other nation Chicago Times-Herald.
That is what the Salt Lake Tribune
says. That is what Mark Hanna hopes.
But what do silver miners and BIZ
metallists of this region think about
il? Do they believe it dangerous and
disastrous for a political party TO de-
clare for the free and independent
coinage of silver? Are they prepared
to fight against the only party that
stands for bimeta lism? And what do
the farmers think about it? Because
famine in India and wars in Africa
give them a market for their produce.
are they going to encourage the growth
of monopoly and the Capitalization of
wealth until they will be unable TO
reap the full benefit Of foreign de-
mand? Are they going to sanction a
policy which destroyed half the wealth
of the world and support a political
party that boasts of its debasement of
silver and pledges itself TO oppose the
money of the constitution to the bitter
end?
Insolent with official backing and ar
rogant because of its grip upon the
liberties of the people, the money pow
er undertakes to intimidate American
manhood through a subsidized press
and TO make the public believe that
any party which dares to stand up
for the people. their rights and their
interests. is committing suicide.
No honest bimetallist viii desert a
principle because he fears it cannot be
established this year or the next He
knows, If he possesses average intelI-
gence. that free coinage will never
come if men who profess to believe in
it encourage its enemies by keeping
them in power and by voting them au-
thority TO injure the white metal still
further.
The man who supports Mckinley in
this campaign is a goldbug. If he ever
honestly advocated the reconciliation
of silver he is worse than a goldbug
He is a traitor to principle He is a
slave to party. place-hunter or a
bribe-taker. The outspoken goldbug
towers above him as Pixies Peak tow
ers above the surrounding canyons.

CUR ATHLETES ABROAD.

American athletes are backing up
the yacht record of their country in a
way 10 make Americans proud. Out Of
twelve events in which they took part
at Stamford bridge. near London, the
other day, the amateurs from this
country walked off with eight of the
first prizes The New York Athletic
club won the contests in weight-put-
ting, hammer throwing, pole vaultirg
and in the long-distance foot race.
Pennsylvania university won the high
jump. the hurdle race and the long
jump. Georgetown college beat in the
100-yard race. In the other events
Americans took second place.
The boys who went from this coun-
try are well pleased at their success,
but complain of the way they were
treated by the London public. The
Britishers were sore and took no pains
TO conceal the fact.
When it comes to athletic sports.
horse racing. priZe-fghting. yachting
or almost anything else that interests
Young America. it is a pretty safe bet
that he Will be found in the front rank
when the event is pulled off.

FAILURES INCREASING.

Dun's Review shows a record of 5.3S2
business failures in this country during
the first half of the present year. as
against 4.s53 in a corresponding period
last year.
The number of failures shows an
alarming increase, while the amount Of
liabilities involved is almost double
what they were during the first six
months Of last year.
Gold standard financiers explain that
a large percentage of the failures this
year have been of brokers and pro-
meters. The records show, however,
that of these the number was 265 in the
first quarter and las in the last quar-
ter, and that the manufacturing and
trading failures were considerably
larger this year than in the correspond
ing period of last year"
Has that wave of prosperity passed
over US and away? Or was it merely
the opportunity of trusts and govern
ment contractors?

CHINA'S POPULATION.

Salt Lake, July 9, 1900
To the Editor of The Herald:
VIII you kindly state in your paper
how the population of China compares
with the population of the civilized world.
Yours truly, H B. TOOKER-
The population of the earth is LAO,
CSC. 900. according to the latest and most
reliable sta tistics-
The Indo-Germans, or Aryan race,
which cover Europe. inhabit a large
portion of the American continent and
may be found in almost any part Of
the known world, are estimated 20
number 545.O0O,OOO in all. This includes
what might be termed the civil
lied world"
The population of China is placed at
402, $4,000, not including Cinnamon in
other countries. The entire Monaghan
race numbers close to 100000, 600.
BY way of comparison it may be said
that the population of China is equal to
four-fifths that Of the civilized world.
Yet a difference of opinion may exist
as 70 how the inhabitants OF the civil
lied world are to be counted-whether
by countries or by race.

Return OF Mrs. Brown.

Mrs. Arthur Brown returned Sunday
from a seven weeks visit in Washing

Federation of Women's clubs at Mil

Mrs. Brown spoke in denuneiation Of
the federation in refusing Mrs. Ruffin,
the colored delegate, recognition. Mrs
Rufhn,' said Mrs. Brown, formed the
colored club known as the New Era
club of Boston. She is its president
and a thoroughly cultured woman. The
club joined the Massachusetts fedora
ton, and she was sent TO Milwaukee
as its delegate. On arriving she was
asked not to represent her club as it
would certainly antagoniZe the women
of the south. Mrs. Ruffln persisted
and the federation, instead of meeting
the question honestly, hedged and sue

the question being disposed of by the
new executive board after the conven-

Mrs. Brown, that it was one of the

A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.

Before they decide the water bond
question. the taxpayers of Salt Lake
would like the council to explain why it
wants the city to borrow $3.50, 900 when
the work on hand calls for only S125. 600.
Further, thew would AXE to know
whether any part of the proposed $3.50.
600 debt is 20 be used for the payment
OF the $i25.000 overdraft which is due
largely to extravaganza in the man
agement of city affairs.
And while they are about it, the
councilren who have accumulated This
S125,OO0 overdraft so cheerfully might
tell whether they propose TO keep on
with their extravaganza, or whether
there is any hope Of decent economy in
municipal affairs until after the No
vember election.
With current expenses piling W at
the rate of $4,000 to $4,000 "a month
more than they were last year, there
is ample opportunity for the glib advO-
Gates Of debt to explain. The people
pause for a reply.
