"Who does not see that the day of
Englands downfall is approaching? And
we are asked to follow her example and
tread in the imperial footsteps of Great
Britain, knowing that those steps are
leading the British empire to destruction.
Now is the time for the people to ar
rest this progress to ruin, and the labor
ing men of this country are the men to
whom I appeal. If we accept imperial
ism, it means that some people shall do
the thinking and the rest do the working,
then the course of liberty cannot be
saved"
Gov. Boutwell, asked the negro voters
to work against imperialism for the sake
of the 100000 colored population in

some negroes were deprived of their
rights in the South was no excuse for
the oppression of the Filipinos.

which we invite the country's attention
is a question of life or death to the re-

more or less than it is? If a mistake is
made in the next administration, should
Bryan be elected, the people can remedy
it in four and eight years, the country
would not be destroyed. If the currency
is impaired we can redeem it. 1t was
impaired during the Civil war, and we

WHERE THEY SPLIT.
Strikers and officials Have Not Yet
Got Together in st. Louis.

st. Louis, May 17.-Although the basis
OF settlement of the big street railway
strike, which was agreed to by the
grievance committee and the Transit
company of officials. was rejected last
night by the executive committee of the
street railway employees, it is believed
the two will be able to conn to some
sort of agreement today. Another meet
ing or the grievance committee and the
representatives of the St. Louis Transit
company will be held at the Planters
hotel some time this afternoon when
the point of difference will be taken up
again.
The point which caused the executive
BOARD OF the employees union to reject
the proposition was the clause which it
contained in regard to the reinstate-
ment OF old men. The company offered
simply to reinstate all the old employees,
but h executive board decided that
this offer should be amended so tha
the old employees should be reinstated to

however, that members who have been
guilty of criminal acts since the strike
was 1naugurated shall be reinstated.

The first white man to set foot on
Utah soil, Father Silvestre Velez de
Escalante, who reached the GREAT
SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept,
1875, wrote in his diary: "Here the eli
mate is so delicious, the air so balmy,
that it is a pleasure to breathe by day
and by night" The climate of Utah
is one of the richest endowments of
nature. On the shores of the Great
Salt Lake especially and for fifty
miles therefrom in every direction
the climate of climates is found. To
enable persons to participate in these
scenic and climatic attractions, and to

NUMEROUS ARRESTS.
In Connection With the Postal Frauds
at Havana

Havana, May 17.-Warrants were is
sued last evening for the arrest of E. P.
Thompson, the Havana postmaster; w.
H. Reeves. deputy auditor of the island,
and Edward Moya and Jorge Mascara,
Cuban clerks in the stamp department,
and by Z o'clock all were lodged in the
V1vac, the tombs of Havana. h was
done under the advice of the postal in
spectors who arrived today. It is con-
sidered now that Reeves is equally gull
ty with Nicely.
Investigation as to the record of the
clerk in the military department, who
handled several hundred dollars worth
of stamps proves that the transaction,
so far as he is concerned, was legitimate.
The stamps were purchased at the re-
quest of his brother, who is a stamp col
lectOr in the United States for $500.
These were of old issue and were OBJ
tanned from Nicely.
The arrest of Thompson caused great
surprise in the city. 1t is looked upon
as the precursor of many other arrests.
General Wood felt, as did the special in
spectors, that it would be better to have
the suspected persons arrested and to
give the men opportunity to obtain bail
than to keep them Indefinitely under
close supervision at a time when the de-
tectives are badly needed for other work.

ssSTICKING'' JURY.
That Is What Lawyers Call Regular
District Court Panel

The lawyers are looking upon the reg
ular jury for this term of the district
court as a sticking" jury.
In the Johanna Dupree case Lawyers
Ensminger and Jamison, for the de-
fense,. requested a special venire and
nine new men we're placed in the jury
box with but three of the regular jury.
The lawyers did not care to trust the
regular jury as every criminal case con-
sidered by them has been decided
against the defendants. The regular
jury found Pie Jordan guilty twice.
The first trial was for stealing coal from
a car n the second trial for stealing
a quilt. H. n. Wise on the third trial,
after two juries had failed to agree.
was found guilty by the sticking jury.
The lawyers for the Dupree woman did
not care to take chances.
