A WINNING TICKET.

Utah Republicans Name State Omcers st
Provo.
The work Of the Republican conven-
tion in Provo yesterday was theme
fcs rejoicing among the Republicans Of
tsh. city; it was the occasion of deep
sorrow among the Salt Lake Tagals.
The ticket and the platform are most
satisfactory; both are promises of vic
tory.
The platform is frank and fair; moth
ing in 1t indicates any desire to evade
any of this years issues; 1t stands by
President Mckinley in his work Of ex-
ecuting the laws; 1t praises the great
work he has performed under mighty
trials; it holds up his hands as the
needed work progresses.
On the question of silver 1t tersely
points out that the conditions which
made it vital issue four years ago
have ceased to exist, and'points out
that greenbacks are much more So
licitude to Mr.. Bryan this year than
silver.
It renews the allegiance Of the party
to projections: it treats the Philippine
question as Jefferson did Louisiana, Us
Monroe did Florida, rs Polk did Cali
fornia. 1t arraigns the Democracy for
It's hypocrisy and imbecil:.y.
The ticket looks to us like winning
one, like one to conjure by.
The people of Utah are old-time pro-
leS tionists; when they look out upon
the.r fiocks and herds. their fields of
beets. their lead and copper mines and
thc.f manufactures. they will hesitate
besore they determine to serve notice
on the nation that they want that pro
lection withdrawn.
They are old-time expansionists.
Mexico. they remember that Mexico
passed the title to the United States
and that the great Republic never once
thought Of asking their consent to the
change of government; and still, In the
fullness of time. they saw their beauti-
full state take form and saw 1t received
with all honors into the Union. They
will hardly, this year. cast vote Of
cersurc or protest against the onward
march of the great Republic.
Come of their boys died In the Phil
ippines. They will not vote to give the
chief magistl1cy oe the country into
the hands OF mae who says In ad-
vance that II elected he viii turs ever
those islands as spolls to the ns "a -s;,o
killed the Utah boys; and more. Wis,
II necessary, use the army and navy
of the United States to secure to those
thieves and murderers for all time
their stealings.
The promises for election day are ell
fair.-Salt Lake Tribune.

There have been times when some OF
the states of the east feared that aid
mHtting the territories OF the southwest
might lessen the power of the eastern
states TO control legislation, and there
has been a disposition to be Jealous OF
the west. The policy OF non-expansion
has sometimes been favored for this
reason by men OF narrow ideas. But
Within the past year the country has
taken such a leap forward that mem OF
such narrowness have been thrown off
tanedr feet. The vision of growing great
ness has caused many people to become
more liberal than to desire to hold back
the development Of any part Of the
United States for mere local advantag &c
for Older communities. The country at
large has received no shock I'm running
the machinery OF the government as
the result Of admitting the northwest
ern states, and there would be no jar If
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico

Colorado Is Prosperous Again.

The Denver papers make Ia great
showing of prosperity in the centennial
state, In summing up progress for the
past year. A state which has Increased
in wealth. and productiveness as Colo
a d has in the past YEAR has NO kick
coming because her pet hobby horse has
not been fed and groomed at the ma
tional expense. 1t is evident that the
people of Colorado are working with an
eye to real business rather than ex
pecting to be made rich by silver COIN
age laws. Capital. which Stunned the
state when the third party and all its
socialistic procllvities had the indorse-
ment OF the people, is now once more
going to Colorado for Investment, and
there will be henceforth more rapid
days of the silver boom, which was
followed by depression as soon as I'M
natural conditions began to abate. The
present development is founded upon
the production of gold, a metal with a
stable price, upon silver mining only
where 1t can be produced with profit at
even a lower market value than at pres
emit, and upon the products Of field, farm
and orchard. as we'll as upon the min
ing Of coal and base metals like copper,
lead and zinc, for which there is a nat
ural industrial demand. Colorado is all
right. No foolish boom and subsequent
collapse Lie before her. Nothing but
wild political agitation can now give
the state a backset. Having been
burned lately by that species Of fire,
the state ls not likely to again play with
it soon.

Protection Wanted in the South.

The Georgia senate lately passed a
resolution favoring an import duty be.
ing passed by congress of so per cent
ad valorem and 5 cents per pound on
all long stapled cotton imported into
the United States. This resolution was
intended as a protest against the free
Importation of Egyptian or other long
stapled cotton. Senator Dickerson
stated after the resolution was intro
duced that it was in the interests of the
growers of The sea island cotton in that
state, claiming hat this once profitable
industry was languishing under pres
emit conditions, and was giving unnis-
taxable signs of dying unless some re-
liah vas forthcoming. The resolution
states that the low price of lon~g-stapled
cotton is not due to overproduction in
Georgia, but to the enormous annual
importation of Egyptian cotton, the
product Of pauper labor. Further clairl
is made hat the indisputable cause for
low prices, financial depression and ag-
ricultural discomfort is due to this i'm

UTILIZING Convict Labor,

The governor of Colorado has decided
that the scheme Of his attorney general
to work mining property belonging to
the state by using convict labor would
be a violation of the law against en-
plOying convicts. As the mining claims
of~the state Will not be worked by any
other method. n their output would
not in the least interfere with the price
of any product which Colorado pro.
duces Through her free citizens, the law
stands in the way of use Of men whose
maintenance is a public tax. The en-
ploy1nent of prisoners Is sometimes JUS
tlfiable. even If to do SO may result In
citizens having to seek other work.
There is plenty of employment for all
free mem in Colorado, as we'll as in
New Mexico, independent of THAT work
which he government may have done.
Laborers are being imported because
the domestic supply Is inadequate. Take
the work upon the capital of New Mex
ico. for instance. There has been a
saving of man thousands of dollars
to the taxpayers OF the territory
through the employment OF the con-
victs, and yet mo- hardship has been
caused thereby, for the country offers
plenty of work for those who desire to
labor. There are branches Of industry
in which few or no people in the terri
tory are employed and little capital in
vested. The articles made I'M the ter
ritory in such cases cut no ice in the
matter of supplying the demand, and
this demand Is met Through shipments
into the territory. In such instance 1t
il we'll that the convicts be employed
in supplying the market. The people
can thus buy at cheaper prices than
they must pay for goods made thou
sands of miles AWAY. be relieved Of the
taxes necessary to maintain the penf-
Tertiary, and but little harm can come
to any local interests. IT u the lnten-
