WHAT ARE THE FACTS?

The fusionists i'm this state seem to be
pinning their entire hope of success In
the pending election upon fooling the
people into the belief that the Rogers
administration has greatly reduced the
public debt and effected large saving
I'm the cost of maintaining the various
state institutions and conducting the
state government. They are not will
ing, however, to give the Republican
party any credit for the unexampled
prosperity which the Whole country,
and especially this state, has enjoyed
during the past three years-good
times which have enabled the people
to pay their debts and large arrears of
taxes, thus giving the Rogers admin
istratlon large SUMS to apply upon OBJ
legations necessarily incurred during
the early years of statehood and the
long period of hard times following the
Inauguration of n Democratic national
administration i'm 1892.
The records of the auditors office at
Olympia, which are open to inspection
by any one during business hours,
show that the various counties of the
state we've able to pay into the treasury
from delinquent taxes with interest
assessed in the year prior to January,
1897, the enormous sum of $l,03l, lS1.
These delinquent taxes were a distinct
asset of the state and an offset against
the warrant Indebtedness of which the
fusion orators howl, and which amount
ed to $l,7S6,o0O in round numbers
November j, 1896.
In addition to more than one million
dollars which good times have enabled
the people to pay in taxes accrued be-
fore Rogers electiOn-most of the de-
linquency having occurred during the
four years of national stagnation when
Grover Cleveland was president from
1893 to 1897, the fusion state govern
ment has received over 100000 from
the proceeds of sales of tide lands. If
the state debt has been reduced only
SOL 600, as State Auditor Cheetham
says, it might he interesting to know
what has become of the million re-
ceived from delinquent taxes for years
prior to 1897, i'm addition to the sums
needed for current expenses and to
cover legislative appropriations, all de-
rived from current taxes? The fact of
the matter is that according to the
official figures the state debt instead of
having been reduced 100000 under
fusion control has been increased
nearly $3.50, 900 net.

"oPEN MILLS, NOT OPEN MINIS"

The predictions, forecasts" ETC., of
the Seattle Times will have very little
weight with people who remember it's
frantic walls in the campaign of four
years ago and its declaration on the
eve of the presidential electionsthat eff
VIM. Mckinley is elected president to-
morrow there will never he another
presidential election in the United
States" The Times then was lined up
with all the elements of disunion, dis
cord and discomfort which had cursed
the country during the Cleveland ad-
ADMINISTRATION, with it's wretched record
of hard times, strikes, debts, bonds and
CoXey armies, and to its distorted
vision riots, revolution and ruin would
be the inevitable result of Republican
success in the then pending elections.
But instead of being visited by such
dire misfortunes the country has en-
joyed most remarkable period of pros.
perity and the Coxey armies of the
Cleveland regime have heen converted
into dinner-pail brigades. President
Mckinley declared that what the
country most needed was "open mills,
not open mints,n and as result of the
Inauguration of Republican policies
mills everywhere throughout the coun.
try that had been idle for years have
been reopened and hundreds of them
have ibeen running day and night.
The happy hum of industry has sue
ceeded the stiffness of commercial stag
nation and the. minis, too, have been
kept busy coming the best money that
the world affords, which is none too
good for the American farmer and
workman, instead of "free silver at the
ratio of 10 to L." 1t seems almost in
conceivable that anyone who calmly
and dispassionately reviews the events
of the past few years can clamor for
any change in the national govern.
ment now. Ior be induced on any ac.
count to vote for one.

General Business Conditions
Steadily Advancing

The country as whole is appar-
emily on the eve of another boom
period. The reaction from the
quiet which had prevailed in bust
ness for several months was first
manifested in the speculative mar
ket which respond most quickly to
trade conditions. General bust
ness is following the lead, how
ever, and new construction of all
kinds and other projects are com
ing forward substantially, while the
railroads are preparing for per-
iod of heavy traffic. Appearances
unquestionably indicate that an
immense amount of money will be
invested in new enterprises and
the enlargement of established
ones during the coming year. OF
course, as in all such periods,
there exists danger OF too much
booming, of overriding the ad-
vance, but that is evidently an in
separable condition, and cautious
business men will make necessary
provisions toward guarding against
it.
That the mining industry will
have its full share in the new ex-
pansion has been clearly indicated.
1t is quite probable that much of
the surplus capital now looking for
investment will be put into mines
of various kinds, as a growing dis
position to invest in mining enter
prises has been shown of late. 1t
is highly important that this capi-
tai should be well invested. and
that a careful watch should be
kept up for the divers schemes
which a certain class of dishonest
promoters always have ready to
to push in boom times.

moved the most popular writer OF
music of his time and the occasion
is a matter of sorrow to millions.
he wrote the music to the Lost

is great for its plainness and be-
cause it is understood by plain
people. His genius was very com
prehensive, for it will be as the
composer of the music of the Gill

he will be remembered, although
he wrote oratorios and heavy op-
eras at several periods during his
career

The session of the National Irri-

The session of the National Irri-
cation association held last week
in Chicago will he productive of
inestimable benefit in making
known the possibilities and re-
sources of the arid states. A great
many of the participants in the
meeting were men having national
regulations and their views will
carry much weight and be given
extensive circulation. Next to the
further development of Colorado's
inimitable mineral resources and
the perfecting of a process that
will more successfully treat our low
grade ores, the initiation of a prop
er system of storage reservoirs to
hold water for irrigation purposes
would be the most beneficial to the
state.

John Hays Hammond proved
himself to be a practical miner of
sound sense when, after an exami-

used in development work. Com
mon sense forbade the gophering
policy which was pursued in the

to pay the indemnity than not do
so, what will follow will be an

The close of the presidential
campaign in New York was fol-
lowed by an outburst of public in
dignation against Tammany that
seems to have made some impress
sion upon that organization. Ac-
cordingly orders have been issued
that some of the more open and
fragrant manifestations of vice
must be suppressed. However, a
temporary and superficial reform
in compliance with the demands of
outraged public sentiment offers
no assurance of any genuine or
lasting betterment of political and
and social conditions. Fraud,
trickery, intimidation and bribery
are the natural habits and condi-
tions of Tammany's existence, and
without these it would be deprived
of its illegal power, which is good
reason why it cannot reform.

THE WORLDS WORK.
(Salt Lake Tribune)

L
When the young men of the
country look over the census re
turns, they will doubtless bestruck
with the thought that they are to
have rivals in every field, that as
the population is increasing, the
open doors will grow fewer and
fewer, and that the first essential
is equipment, and the second, hard
work. A gentleman recently from
Mexico, told the writer that Amer
leans are more and more taking up
and carrying the great works of
that country, and it is so, too, in
Central and South America. 1t
will be seen that American talent
has the right of way, but it must
be of high order to win. Ours is
the best place; our country fronts
on both oceans, and we have the
call over all the continent to the
south. There will be great work
to perform when the great railroad
opens in northern Asia. Never
before was there such activity
along all the industrial lines, and
never before were there so many
opportunities for the brave and
competent, but competency is the
great test, and this should be i'm.
pressed upon the educators of the
country as never before.
The world is growing small; the
steamship ard telegraph are draw
ing all countries close together;
there is more competition than
ever before, but there is ample
room still in the upper stories. The
struggle should be to so equip
every youth that the world will
need his work, and with that done,
chances were never so numerous;
opportunities were never SO great
before.
Man is extending his dominion
over the earth and its elements.
Thousands and tens of thousands
of men and women are now en-
ployed in industries that three
score years ago were undreamed
of. Think of the thousands that
the application of electricity gives
employment to; hear the click of
the typewriters and the clatter of
sewing machines. Work is might
lily facilitated, but the very accom-
plishments of machinery open the
way for more work by competent
hands, only the locomotive should
be kept pushing into the worlds
wilderness, for men follow in its
trail and occupy the space on both
sides of it. Our country is pretty
well ribbed with roads, but to the
south the fields are almost limit
less, and virgin land waits there
for men to cultivate it, virgin
mines await exploration, and the
thought with every young man
should be, 81 must fit myself to
keep up with the procession"
