CONSISTENCY (?)

At the large meeting in the New York
Academy Of Music one night last week,
to express sympathy with the Beers,
Congressman Sulzer, j., the course OF a
speech, took occasion to say that: "rhere
is no doubt OF secret understanding
existing today between the White House
and Downing street."
For this statement the Post Intelligen-
Ger takes the New York congressman
severely to task, saying:
"For this assertion he had not the faint
est shadow Of reason. He knew we'll that
it is false and cowardIy; not even admis.
sible in ordinary political warfare, but
the sort Of thing that is done by men who
hold falsehood the equal OF truth if it
will fight their battles. Mr.. Sulzer is a
democ, attic congressman from New York.
His presence on that platform was to
foster party prejudice and engender
hatred Of his opponents"
1t is not so much the purpose Of this
article to defend the congressman, or his
staten ant, as it is to show the blind in
consistency Of reasoning that a large daily
paper can indulge in, when published
primarily for political effect and only in
cidentally as a purveyor of the news.
Standing alone this item OF the Pr.
would not have looked SO bad. No docu-
mentary proof can be had of "a secret
understanding, but, taken in connection
with the following, which appeared in
the adjoining column, it gives the impress.
sion that it is only the "secret under
standings" that happen to reflect OH the
administration that don't go with The
P..I:
"There have been several denials Of the
existence OF secret treaty between Great
Britain, Germany and Portugal, and yet
nearly everybody seems to have sneak
ing idea that such treaty has been
agreed upon"
Had the remarks OF Congressman Sui
yer not been of 4 nature that should cause
the White House to be ashamed OF them,
ore can readily imagine the P..I. noticing
them in about this way: "There have
been several denials OF the existence OF a
secret understanding between the White
House and Downing street, and yet near.
ly everybody seems to have sneaking
idea that such an understanding has been
agreed upon." Consistency thou art too
rare jewel for tn" P-I. office.

There is considerable excitement
among republican politicians as to who
will he nominated for vice president with
Mckinley next year. Since the republic
cans have abandoned their own platform,
and are seeking to carry out the platform
of the Clevelandtes, the National Watch-
man suggests that it would be only fair
to give the position to either Grover
Cleveland or John NJ. Palmer.

AMONG THE MAGAZINES.
BritOn and BOer In South A fritla.

All the Beers. of both republcs-men,
women, and children combined-hardly
begin to equal in number the population
of the obscure suburban town of West
Ham, near London. Yet the very same
London papers which few days ago
thought the Beers could not and would
not fight, and that few British regiments
could 60 to Pretoria without firing shot,
had now gone TO the opposite extreme Of
regarding the Boer armies as the most
formidable ever known in the history Of
warfare, and were begging their readers
to consider that the British empire was
engaged in life.and-death struggle.
| This tone merely invited the contempt Of
the world, while it also provoked the
freer expression of enthusiastic admra-
ton for the magnificent stand of the
Dutch farmers against such overwhelming
odds. A race that can show such quail
ties az the Beers have exhibited in the
last three months ought not to be exter-
minated. Its hardy stock is needed in
the work Ct developing the Dark Cont
nent. We all know we'll that the English
in the course Of few more weeks or
months can hammer and blunder their
way through to Pretoria, for the simple
reason that they have money, slips, ana
guns without limit. They can, il need
be, transport a million fighting men to
Natal and Cape Colony, while the whole
Boer nation is already in the field, SO far
as the two republics are concerned. and
the prospect Of assistance from any out
side quarter is too remote to be seriously
considered. The war against the Ameri-
can colonies was shameful thing for
England, and about the only Englishmen
who have come out OF it decently on the
page OF history are the Galatians, Foxes,
and Burkes, who saw the truth and spoke
it with courage. England lost in that
war, and her Burgoynes, Howes, and
Cornwallises won no glory for themselves
or their country. England will win in
the present war, but it will be Command
ants Joubert, Cronje, and the other Boer
leaders who will come out with military
renown, rather than the Buffers, Methuens,
Gatacres. Or Whites. And there are Boer
| statesmen, too.-Fro,n "1he Progress OF

FARMING THE FARMER.

An interesting table has been prepared
by the Democrat, OF Bowling Green,
Ohio, which is rich in it's contrasts. 1t
goes to show that the much Wanted

and for nobody else-certainly not for
the farmers. Tie Democrat advises its
readers to take no PERSONS word, not
even its own, for these figures, to enquire
OF local merchants whether or not they
are correct.

long, with two iron hunks one over the
other, in each cell. The walls are in
the same condition as the walls in the
drunk house but they lack the ven
tiIatiOn afforded by the broken door Of
that cell. The corridor is heated by
small stove. which has the appearance
Of needing another stove to keep 1t
warm.
The second floor of the Jail is ar
ranged much the same as the lower

The east side of the jail. called the
wOman'S ward, has four cells, two on
a side. and one of these is used as a

stoves are used to keep these prisoners
warm.
The roof leaks in many places. The
walls of the entire jail are rusty, damp

jail is on the upper floor at the south
end of the main hall that divides the
wOman's ward and the mans ward,

the guiltiest should be made to suffer
in such a place. The arrangement of
this jail is such as to afford no protec-
ton to the jailer from the prisoners,
inasmuch as in turning them from their
cells into the dining room for their
present arrangement it is necessary
for the jailer to go among them. Such
a condition is a menace to public wei

tunity to assault the jailer and TO es-

HALF CENTS WANTED.
bankers, Magazine.N

Bankers Magazine)
The coinage of the half cent is being
demanded from numerous quarters IN
the early history of the country this
coin did not seem to be needed. Bust
ness had not reached the degree of di-
vision and specialization that rendered
it useful In all new countries. where
resources have to be developed, there
is a disregard for detail and of small
things. AS civilization progresses and
population increases the trading and
everyday business is done on finer
lines.
Convenient small coins for use in
small transactions conduce to economy
and saving. In California in the
pioneer days there were no coins less
than dime All transactions in which
change could not be exactly made, less
than a dime caused a loss to one side
and a gain to the other. For a long
time California affected to despise
nickSs. but the advantage of making
closer and juster change gradually re
commended itself. and now even the
copper cent is gaining ground in that
state of great resources and large
ideas.
The demand for the half cent comes
from those sections of the country
where the struggle for existence is be-
coming more difficult and where the
subdivisions of business and competi-
ton in prices cause the loss of even
a half cent in making change TO be a
serious matter. There are many things
sold for q cent which would be sold
for a half cent if such a coin existed.
The dollars would probably take care
of themselves better if the half cent
were in existence to be taken care of
than they are now, when the cent is
the least coin that can be looked after.
To add the half cent TO our coins would
increase the profits of small dealers
and the possible economies to that
class of people who are obliged to make
small purchases. As it is now, either
the seller or purchaser in these small
dealings, which by their number are of
great Importance, loses or gains.
To save a cent each day amounts 70
1855 a year, and TO save q half cent
each day effects a saving of one-half
of the same. The country should have
the half cent.

Mrs. Valance Depicts the Horrors of
the City Jail.

To the Editor of The Herald:
Many times the condition of the pres
ent Jail has been called to the atten-
ton of the city council Of this city, and
While thousands of dollars has been
appropriated for the purpose of inn
proving roads upon which to drive fast
horses, yet nothing has been done to-
ward wiping out this disgrace of a
prison. If Salt Lake City had sent a
commission into China TO study the
most improved methods of torture, it
would have come back with a report
that nothing in its travels had it seen
TO equal this pest-ridden shack of q
city Jail. Take any man or woman who
has once served time in this jail and
they viii tell YOU they would have con-
sidered it a kindness had some one
strung them UP by the thumbs for an
hour rather than to have put them into
that hole 1t is absolutely inhuman
and no man on earth, no matter what
his crime, deserves punishment by in
generation in such a place. There is
no other jail in the United States SO
absolutely vile, and no torture on earth
so great as this Jail of Salt Lake City.

such that there is no opportunity af
