and Removed Co alt Lake.
On Saturday last H. NJ. Cushing, gen.
ersl travelling passenger agent Of the
Denver & Rio Grands Railway. arrived
in Eureka, aud pnder his direction the
remains Of Mrs. Fredericka Rives were
disinterred from the grave where they
have lain for the past sixteen years. The
body had been buried in . metallic casket,
which. though slightly rusted, was found
TO be perfectly intact. In accordance
with the wishes Of the relatives Of the
deceased the casket was not opened here,
and ID 10 therefore impossible to say
what conS.tion the remains were in, but
judging from the appearance Of the cas-
ket, they were in . fair state Of preser-
walton. Mr.. Cushing, who is the close
personal friend Of DIR. Daily, accompsu-
led the remains to Salt Lake City on
Monday. where they will be deposited
in the Masonic vault, prior to their re-
interment In Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Mrs. Rives was the wife Of Judge
Henry Rives. formerly Judge Of this
district. and mother Of Mrs. Daily. now
Of Salt Lake City. Her death occurred
st Eureka on October 30, 1888. She had
been indisposed for . long time and was
confined to her bed for about q month
prior TO her death, with an attack Of
gastric fever. On the morning Of her
death she gave premature birth TO q
daughter. and the form Of the little one
rested on the dead mothers arm when the
remains were laid TO rest.
Mrs. Rives (nee Frederick Hazenl
WAS born in Kings county, New Bruins
wick, October 26, 1854. She had resided
here with her husband about five years
and was universally loved and respected
by all who knew her. She is remembered
IS Q beautiful woman, gifted alike with
graces Of form and manner, and her IN
timely death was mourned by q large
circle Of friends and acqusintances. The
funeral took place from the Episcopal
Church on November l, Rev. C. B.
Crawford preaching the sermon. The
following gentlemen acted as pail bear
ers: Hon. Thomas Wren, Hon. George
w. Baker. II. X. Mitchell. Esq.. 4. r.
CARRIER, Esq.,. A. L. Fitzgerald. Esq.,
Messrs. w. 4. Griffin, II. T. Hoadley
and NJ. B. Bartlett. The funeral cor
tege was formed with the knights Of
Pythias (of which order Judge Rives was
. member) following the hearse. and af-
ter them came the members Of the Eu-
rskA County Bar, and then the county
and township officers and other citizens.
The principal mourners in covered car
riages followed these. and ~sixsy-two
vehicles completed the procession. The
funeral was . very large one. and showed
the esteem in which Mrs. Rives was held
by the people Of this place.
The opening Of the grave, and the
bearing away Of the remains at this time
renews the sadness which followed the
announcement Of the death OF Mrs.
Rivss. and many readers Of the SENTINEL
will shed 9 silent tear for the memory Of
the dear lady who was once their neigh
hnr and friand.

Rough Rider and Statesman.

The individual who proposed Buffalo
Bill for Mr.. Bryans running mate in
tended to be very severe at the expense of
Theodore Roosevelt. In his opinion Colonel
Roosevelt represents nothing but the pluck
and dash of Rough Rider fame. He sees
in him only the hero of "a school boys tale
the wonder of an hour" Now that
Colonel Roosevelt has taken off his uniform
unbucked his sword and returned to civil
pursuits. he is stripped in this fellows eyes
of everything worthy of the countrys con-
sderation. The republicans. as he thinks.
have nominated only ninety day war hero
with single successful skiruish to his
credit. and the war over. And so. as against
him. this fellow would put up picturesque
old scout and thus play cowboy against
cowboy for the popular favor.
No man is better fortified against this
sort of cheap wit than Colonel Roosevelt.
He could not if he would hide the fact that
his service in the army was short. He
could not if he would magnify the one bat
tie in Cuba in which he participated. But
short that service was, and small as that
battle was in point of numbers engaged. he
has reason to be proud of his part because
it sustains his record for preparedness and
efficiency in all other things. The hour
struck. and he responded. He was ready
was Teddy and in great rush for as
signment in the invading army he managed
to get the greater part of his regiment into
action. And he won promotion. and came
nome amidst general applause.
But this was but one exhibition of the
spirit and quality of the man. Peace hath
her victories no less renowned than war
and in peaceful pursuits he already stood
crowned as winner AS member of the
New York Legislature. as national civil serv-
ice commissioner, as police commissioner
in New York, as assistant secretary of the
ravy. he had had his battles and had won
them. He was ready always. He had a
way of measuring up to emergencies, and
of both winning and deserving the applause
of those whose applause was worth having
He never failed his friends. and he never
disappointed his enemies.
The Rough Rider. therefore. is also the
trained and successful servant in the most
important civil affairs. No man of his years
has had such varied opportunities for use
fulness in American politics. and no man of
any age was ever more uniformly successful
in the execution of public commissions.

Had the near-side rule of stopping street
cars been retained IN force it may be
doubted whether the collision between a 9th
street car and fire reel would have &C.
CURED. The fire apparatus unquestionably
must be given the right of way over all
other vehicles, and 1t must not be compelled
to slow down at street railway crossings
Otherwise the local department would lose
the efficiency which has caused it to be
rated exceptionally high throughout the
country. The advent of swiftly dashing

crews is to keep the warning gongs ringing

danger. If the street car is being run ac-
cording to the regulations, which prescribe
a reduction of speed at street crossings
from twelve to six miles an hour, it is pos
sible under normal conditions to bring 1t to
though the motornan might not hear the
warning gong before reaching the intersec-
ticn. The reports OF yesterdays accident
indicate that the car was brought to a halt
only after it had run for thirty feet or
more beyond where 1t struck the reel Inas-
much as the nlotorman presumably had ap-
piled his brakes before the collision there
was evidently such a sharp Roadway on
the car as to justify the suspicion that the
crossing speed rule YVES being violated
With this rule observed and with the near
side stopping rule restored such accidents

No greater misfortune could betaH Mr..
BRYAN than to be elected President on a
platform to which he did not fully ana
sincerely subscribe. Failure would fnevi-
tably he his portion. He would become the
prey of factions. All factions would try TO
use him. and as no one OF them could hope
to monopolize him all would alike presently
be al war with him. 1t Is one of the strong
points OF our government that no mere
hubble of men. having only place and party
loot in view, can easily secure, or. by acct
dent securing. can long hold. control of af-
fairs fractional selhshness will assert it
self. and the loosely Joined combination
soon goes to pieces. A party to be Of ser
vice to the country, and to hope for length
of life in office. must have some definite OBJ
ject in view. and be able to hold all of its
members TO the accomplishment of that
object.
Mr.. CIeveland's third nomination for the
presidency was a great misfortune for the
country and for him. fIe was not repre-
sentative democrat In fact. upon the
Issue which was fast ripening. h was not
a democrat at all. The democratic party,
then as now. party. stood for free
silver coinage at 16 to 1. He knew that.
He had had tussle after tussle with the
party's leaders from the south and west on
tnat question Inev nad discussed II Win
him in private conversation at the White
House. and some of them in newspaper in
terviews had criticised his attitude very
freely. They characterized him as being a
disciple of John Sherman-as. in fact. ac-
cording to his limited lights on that Ques-
ton. he was.
But here was the temptation. The party
wanted to win at the polls. and in order to
hope TO do that 1t must have a leader
with strength of personality. Nj Cleve-
land, with an itch for Office now grown
chronic, wanted another term in the White
House. and in order to hope to secure that
he must look to the free silver parry again.
So they patched up a platform anG cam
paign truce, and the gold bug cand date led
the free silver party again to victory. The
rest We know. An explosion and exposure
followed. and Mr.. Cleveland. deserted BY
his party. had to look to the republicans
for support IN carrying through the only
financial measure he recommended to Con-
gress- Then followed four years of bicker-
ings. at the end of which Mr. Cleveland
retired to private life despsed by the men
who had made him, and the party went
out of power.
The democratic party, as a party is for
free silver coinage at 10 TO l. and Mr.
Bryan is Its representative. He cannot af-
ford therefore to permit gold bugs 10 guide
his action. or to write the party's Platform.

The definite announcement of Baron Won

would directly lead to a scramble, among
the powers for such selfish advantages as
the situation might afford. The American
policy at present is to avert disrnember-

the combined force of all the powers to re-

The Lesson of the Hoboken Holocaust.

Hoboken's fire horror gives fresh evidence
OF the gross neglect by both city authori-
ties and steamship corporations of the con-
dition Of the piers which line the harbors
of the great American ports. Saturday the
flames licked up the wharf structures so
rapidly that the loss OF life and property
reached an appalling total Probably no
sure record of the destruction will ever be
made. The swiftness with which the flames
spread baffied all efforts to save life in the
early stages OF the fire. 1t is believed that
IL the piers had been built OF stone and
steel no such Roadway could have been at
tanned by the fire. The American cities
have much to learn in this respect from
Europe. where the waterfront problem has
been carefully studied and satisfactorily
solved, from both the mechanical and the
architectural points of view. The harbor
facilities of the average American port are
verttable makeshifts. built with little or no
attention to safety and none whatever to
appearances. One consequence of this is
| that the water fronts Of our cities are not
ornamental, whereas In Europe often the
most beautiful and artistic features Of the
city's aspect are to be found at the harbor.
| 1t Is hoped that In the redemption Of the

Washington water front permitted by the
settlement of title in the United States at
tention will be paid TO this matter in order
that the local harbor may be made beauti-
full as well as equipped with the latest de-
vices for safely handling water traffic.
1t is chiefly with regard to the protection
of lives, however. that the Hoboken fire re-
quires consideration as warning. Owing
to the presence of vast quantities of inflam-
mable goods on the piers those wooden
structures burned in an Incredibly short
time. and no human power could have
saved them. So rapid was the spread of the
flames that all the discipline of the steamer
crews was at fault. Men were imprisoned
within few seconds. so that no help could
reach them. With substantial docks not
even the burning Of great quantities Of
freight could have created such a condition
1t would be humane, businesslike caution
for the laws of all states to be so shaped
that no wooden dock could henceforth be
built or be used beyond a certain period. The
commerce Of the country has grown to
proportions which demand the extreme of
care and wise expenditure to safeguard
against such horrors as that of Saturday.

A Question of Futurity,

IT'S now the orators arise
With methods most vociferous.
Their friends they're lauding to the skie
Their foes they call pestiferous.
While thoughtful people pause and say,
With voices touched by sorrow.
These booms today are under way,
Where will they be tomorrow?
Gone like the dewdrop meath the sun,
Gone like the fire flies glittering,
Gone like the light when day is done,
Gone like the birds spring twittering.
They're offered new, in grand array,
But some must land afar-ohl
These booms today are blithe and gay,
Where will they be tomorrow?
