How nicel How gener0usi When
our morning contemporary issued its

cost him his position. People watched

M'KINLEY VS.. M'KlNLEY.

Yesterday The Herald quoted from
a speech delivered in congress by Will
liam Mckinley in 1883. the logic of
which, applied to the present situation,
indicates that President Mckinley.
rather than Secretary Gage. is not only
responsible for the Illegal farming out
of government funds to favored banks,
but actually culpable.
tt also appears that when Mr. Nc
kinney was a member of the Republican
national convention which was held
the same year in which ne made that
speech in cOneTess. he denounced the
president for permitting the secretary,
even upon the recommendation of con-
gress, to farm this money out, even to
banks which gave government bonds
as security for the deposit"
And as chairman Of the committee on
platform and resolutions. he inserted a
plank which arrsigned and condemned
the administration for "loaning the
governments money without interest

This was a keynote for Republican
stumpers and journals al through that
campaign. What a wall was sent Up
throughout the nation because the sec
rotary of the treasury had 100000 in

irritation strangely out of place on this

editorial it says:
Admiral Montojo finds fag.lt by the
most courteous implication with Admiral
Dewey for taking advantage Of the su-
perlor range of mis- guns at Manila and

do him no harm.
The Spaniards wanted to know why
the American neet didn't get within
the range Of the Spanish guns. And

courtesy or anything else requires a
commander to put his ships and men

THE CASE OF The LAWYERS.

An overwhelming majority of the
practieing attorneys Of this city who
attended recent meeting called TO
consider the creation OF a new circuit
Tor TIE intermountain states, voted
against the proposition. This action
does not seem to meet with the APP
prevail of a certain political combina-
ton here. The local Republican organ
is particularly lncensed al the limbs OF
the law who apparently acted without
its advice or consent
NO doubt the lawyers in this town
know what they want" it Gays, but
we are bound 10 say that the reason
they gave for opposing the creation Of
a new circuit 10 include Utah was a
cowardly one-the fear that some one
would be appointed judge whom they
I'D not like"
It was,an exhibition Of fear lest the
appointing power should be abused by
President Mckinley. yet some IF the
selections he has already made are not
calculated to inspire confidence in his
Judgment or regard for the public well
fare. The fact of the matter is the
president is pretty much Of spoils-
man.
While the Republican organ says that
the lawyers could very easily send a
petition for the appointment of some
body, or against the appointment Of
some one, and it would be needed" 1t
is a matter of record that they have
petitioned in vain under similar cir
cumstances and against the applicant
whose appointment they now seem to
dread.
Then the reasons assigned by our
contemporary for desiring the creation
Of a new circuit are not Of such char

PROTECTION is OBSOLETE.

ct really appears as if high protec-
ton was going out Of favor with the
public men Of the country" says an
eastern organ of the administration.
Here is Robert P. Porter" says the
Boston Herald. whose only identity in
the general mind has come from his
service in the advocacy Of the most
extreme duties under the tariff, now
declaring that the nation wants free
trade, not only with Puerto Rico, but
with Cuba and the Philippines as Well. -
Protectionists generally are abandon
ing the cid theory of taxation for the
beneht OF private corporations and ia
vorite industries. It was a direct swim
die, an indirect robbery of the people
and the supreme court of the republic
50 decided. But the appetite Of the
infant trusts had to be satisfied, even
in violation of the law and in utter
disregard of the rights Of the people,
and now when the monsters have gorg-
ed themselves and are ready to feed
at another trough, ,he protection the
DRY is abandoned and the national
treasury is used as a feed barrel for
the benefit of the money powers.

oHoATe's GOOD JOKE.

Ambassador ChOate is a great student
Of human nature. He understands the
English sense Of humor to perfection.
1t is healthy. but hard to awaken.
According 10 a London journal, he
made a London audience howl the other
day with what the newspapers there
have been calling "dr. Choate's latest
mot" bus with which ne first convuIsed
an assemblage in 1857.
When the story circulated in the re-
ligious department of some English
papers and in the household depart
ment Of others, people read 1t over once
or twice. scratched their heads, wrin-
l0led their brows and turned to other
columns less perplexing. But the
memory of the mot" abided with
them.
Last week Mr. Choate had occasion
to make his extemporaneous remark
again. and the audience caught on"
The reading public enjoys the humor
Of it and actually sees the point after
thirteen years Of weary waiting for a
clue TO its inspiration and application.
In the middle Of q speech at some
public function or other Mr.. Choate
was Interrupted by the lusty cries Of an
infant, and. turning to the bishop Of
London, who was present, he said:
No one knows better than your
iordship that out of the mouths Of
babes and Stockings eometh forth wis
dom"
Thirteen years is a long time for an
extemporaneous bit of repartee to keep,
but like wine. the older it gets the bet
ter some people appreciate it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

4 good audience, which included
most of the first-nighters, assembled
at the Salt Lake theatre last evening.
The entertainment furnished by the
Black Patti and her company is the
concentration of all the coon songs, rag
time and minstrelsy that we have heard
here for q year. The company IS a
large o~e and versatile, although the
soecialties ran mainly TO buck-dancing,
coon" songs and cake walks.
In cake walking. by the way, the
real coon is greatly excelled by his
white so-caIled initatCr. The chOruses
were good. and the Operatic numbers
were much enjoyed, particularly the
chorus from THE Chimes of Norman
DIV Al and Cecil Watts were a great
success in their speciality and were re-
peatedly recalled. James Wilson is q
clever equilibrist.
The Black Patti has an excellent
voice Of vibrant quality and good range
and her comparatively few numbers on
the programme were enthusiastically
received. The audience was most dem
onstrative throughout the entertain
ment. particularly in the upper portion
Of the house, Whe>e many cOlOred peO-
pie eongregated. The engagement
closes tonight.
