A NORTHERN republican journal that
sees prosperity and advancement 10
every thing as the direct result OF the
Mckinley administration, says: Men
unworthy of high Office are rarely cleo
ted to high office. The ballot-box was
never 80 sacredly guarded. The pow
ers of political bosses are on the wane,
and the powers OF the people, as ex
pressed al the polls. were never go
strong nor so feared by those who have
abused their trusts" The trouble with
the men who print such gable as this
is not that they are simpletons, but that
they suppose the majority OF their read
ers are, aud, unfortunately for the latter,
they are not far out of the way, no :
withstanding all the free schools.

ArA negro meeting in Washington

ArA negro meeting in Washington
night before last, one Of the speakers,
more than ordinarily intelligent, SAID;
I'm many districts of the South the
condition of the negroes ia no better
than slavery in the ante-bellum days
The negro farmer is unable to break
away from the lien system OF crops.
Slavery was good in some things" be
said, "iu that it taught the negro the
English language, habits OF industry
and some religion. Since the civil war
one-third of the negroes have retro
graded, one third are where they were
when the war closed, and one.third
have advanced. The negro has been
taught that his advancement is to be
achieved through politics, instead OF
through hard work." He Is wrong
about the one-third, whom he says have
advanced. There were as many intel
ligent, we'll and well-to-do negroes
before emancipation as there are now,
and hundreds OF thousands more con-
tented, happy and we'll provided for.

he was disappointed By the failure Of
the Republican convenurrs to adopt a
similar resolution. And yet his organ
seeks to play upon the prejudices of a
certain element in this city and to per-
petuate bitter strife among the peo-
pie over questions Of the past-aI this
is done in the interest of candidate
who privately repudiates the work of
his organ, who endorses the very thing
that his organ assails. but who lacks
the courage Of his convictions, who re-
mains silent while his own position is
attacked. in the desperate hope that
he may receive a few votes from peo-
pie whose prejudices have been aroused
by misrepresentation What do honest
men think Of such DDS as these?
What is the opinion she people of
Utah. regardless of class or creed?
Such an organ and such a candidate
should be overwhelmingly repudiated
at the polls
There is this much more that might
be said: Mr.. Hammond has gone be-
fore the people upon a platform that
endorses the course of the president in
appointing polygamists 10 Office and
retaining them in Office after he knew
that they were polygamists. and yet his
newspaper hacker asks the people to
endorse him and to endorse his plat
form because Democrats have differed
with the majority in congress over the
methods employed in excluding a po-

chicanery ever witnessed in any state?
What monstrous humbug is this Re
publican organ.
And what an exalted notion concern
ing the national congress it entertains
when it insinuates that Mr.. King
could secure no appropriations for
Utah because Of this Democratic reso-
luton. The idea that it seeks to spread
among the people is that should the
people of any state entertain views
upon any subject not in accord with
the views of the majority OF it's mem
bers the congress of tbs United States
would cut off that states appropria-
tons; would cut its throat and cast it
out utterly That is TO say that the
congress of the United States is a body
Of intolerant bigots, an organization of

lime faith Mr. HammOnd's organ eX-
hibits in the integrity of the people

cal convictions in dollars and cents!

Utah gagged by the amount of appro-
priations in sight? Surely, the Hanna
organ is judging Utah by the Hanna
standard.
