LANNAN AND SENATORSHIP.

In it's usual solicitude for the welfare
of the Democratic party. Hanna Utah
organ yesterday advised the state COM
mittee to provide for the nomination
of a candidate for United States sena-
tor by the Democratic state convention.
The natural result was a unanimous
vote in the committee against making
any such provision.
Pretending to urge the nomination,
it sets forth the desirability of popu-
lar election of United Staes senator's.
Win it advise the state Republican
convention to nominate it's candidate
for the United States senate, o. J. SAL
isbury? Will it set forth his quaiifi-
cations for that high office, "either in
personal character, intelligence, educa-
ton or experience in public affairs?'
We shall see whether the Tribune dares
to offer such man to the people of
Utah as it's party candidate.
The Democrats of Utah could wish
nothing better-with one possible ex-
eeption. and that would be the nominal
ton of Col. P. Hanna Lannan himself
Mr.. Salisbury might get some support
among voters who do not know him;
Col. Ldnnan wouldn't get enough votes
to count in the 'also ran" class.

Tribune says further; 1T is not true
that the Republican party fagors the
admission of the Hawaiian Islands.
Many Republicans consider it so vitality
dangerous that if ever the Republican
party should be found favoring it they
would cease to De Republicans. They
are thoroughly convinced that the sal
walton of the republic requires the linn
itstion of statehood strictly to this con-
tinent If the precedent is made of go
ing further there may be no end. and

BUSINESS RISKS IN ALASKA

| The return from Cape Nome. threat
ems to become more of a panic move
ment than the rush to the gold dig
gings, Thousands are coming home
sick. disheartened and impoverished,
many have persisted by the wayside and
scores have committed suicide through
sheer disappointment.
The majority of those who went
were victims of transportation compa-
MES, whose glittering promises Iured
the multitude 10 ruin. That there is
gold in Alaska and along the coast of
Nome cannot be denied. But the ground
was pretty well taken up before the
summers rush began.
Others were Iured to their fate by
wildcat companies organized more for
the purpose of selling shares than for
digging GOLD The mine they work is
the gullibility of the public. Among
the dozens oF legitimate mining COM
panies organic, on a business basis
and backed by responsible men were
others which merely afforded green
goods men new field for operations.
The American public ought to learn
TO be wary by this time. The result of
the rush to Klondike. to the Copper
river and to Nome should be remem-
bered. And one lesson should be that
gold is not to be found lying about loose
in any part of the world ready to be
shoveled into 4 sack and carried home
on the next steamer

made without great risks. While prof

greater than they are in any other

TOOK THE WISE COURSE.

The Democratic state committee act
ed wisely yesterday in unanimously
recording its opposition to the nomina-
ton of a United States senator by the
state convention. The adoption Of
such a plan would certainly have in
vited party disaster. While it is true
that the Democratic party favors the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote of the people, and while the
proposition to nominate in state con-
ventiOn is quite beautiful in theory
and supported by certain sentimental
considerations. it would be both unwise
and unfair for the Democratic party to
place a senatorial candidate in the field
while the candidates of other parties
were kept under cover 1t would place
the party at direct disadvantage. be-
cause throughout the campaign its can
didate would be assailed by every
stump orator and every party organ
of the opposition, while their own less
worthy candidates were kept concealed
from public view. There are other
equally strong reasons against the
nomination plan. but, in view of the
action Cf the committee, and the result
of one experiment of that kind. it is
not necessary to set them forth.

SPANISH IDEAS OF LIBERTY.

Candidate Mckinley declares that
every blow he has struck in the Phil
ippines has been 'for liberty and hu-
manity."
This reminds one of what Cortez said
when he invaded Mexico 1t was the
excuse Pizarro offered for leaving a
trail of blood across Peru. And Wey-
Ter. the Spanish butcher, declared in
HIS speech to the Spanish cortes in 1898
that he was Furnishing the Cubans for
their own good He took the position
that they were incapable of self gov
eminent, that they could not be man
aged without force, and that the only
way to command respect was to have
an occasional slaughter of natives.
This seems to have been the notion
behind imperialists from the begin
ming. They believe in shooting the
FilipinOs for their own good. They be-
lieve in conquest in the name CT hu-
mainly They want to. force liberty"
upon a people who prefer the liberty
that goes with Independence.

JUDAS AS A MoRALIST.

One might imagine from it's assump,
ton of exalted virtue that the Lannan-
Salisbury publication had cornered all
the honesty in this region. 1t accuses
all its opponents with corruption. clas-
sites men like Fred Dubois as 'Dvna-
miters, and now goes into spasms of
fear that somebody else will be bought
in Utah during the coming months.
This is part of an old game: first
whisper accusations of corruption.
next, having prepared the public, shout
the charge, and. finally. prove il if
you have to buy some self-confessed
seeker after brides TO furnish the evil
dence.

IMPERIALISM lNSULTED.

It is not the intention of the admin.
istration to abandon its independent
''outside-0f- the-constitution' rule of
any Of our island possessions. Any in
TINA ton TO the contrary is promptly
resented by the Republican press. How
can we have war and colonial depen-
denotes if we hold out inducements to
the inhabitants to take part in the af-
fairs Of government? They must re-
main subjects of our unconstitutional
ex-offieio imperator or take the bay
onet under the fifth rib.
AT the Canton reception the other
day when Mckinley was notified of the
surprise sprung on him at Philadel-
phia, reference was made to the dispo-
sition Of the Republican party to ad-
nit the islands into the Union. This
caused the Commercial Advertiser to
exclaim that 'the Republican party
has no such disposition and the presi-
dent has no such intention"
The New York Tribune is equally dis
turbed aud hastens to explain that any
intimation of a policy to hold out in
ducements of citizenship to our col
onists is unofficial and unwarranted. It
says further that the mention of this
matter at the notification meeting was
IAN attempt to obtain countenance for
a policy to which a large majority of
the pafty's best elements are unaIter-
ably opposed.

states. 1t is Disguised with many of
the more recent admissions, if the tone
of the party press may be taken as
5erroboration of this opinion. The

TRIPLES!

Our cars are no better-in themselves
than the cars of other lines. It is
what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance: The seats in our re-
Ginning chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-cIean and cool. Our
dining cars have electric fans, and are
gorgeously decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometer, which the
porter constantly consults in order to
keep the temperature of his car as
nearly uniform as possible.
By themselves. these things are tri-
fles. but the sum total of them goes a
long way toward making a trip over
