This is not the first time the Demo
Gratis have called national convention
for the 18th day of July. The Democratic
convention of 1868 was called for that
day, and the two conventions promise
to have some points of resemblance.
The 1868 convention was the first ma
t!onal convention called after the civil
war ended. We were in the midst Of
reconstruction. 1t was a more difficult
problem than the war. The Democrats
met In the guise of critics and malcon-
tents. They declared the constitutional
amendments, abolishing slavery, to be
revolutionary, null and void. They
raised the military bugaboo and avow-
ed their belief that the Constitution
was being violated The Democrats in
convention assembled in Kansas CITY
Will repeat much of this folly. They
Will declare in favor of running away
from the obligations which the Spanish
American war imposed upon us. They
VIII pretend to be seized with a great
rear because the standing army has
peen increased. and they will repeat all
their old-time charges about the viola
ton OF the Constitution, and it may
be added confidently that their nom
lnee this year will come no nearer cleo
ton than Seymour did in 1868. Cedar

'Tn union is strength" The teachers
of Brooklyn have furnished one more
proof OF the truth of the proverb. The
city government, acting on the advice
Of the city attorney. declined to pay
the rate OF wages to which the teachers
believed themselves by law entitled.
The amount thus withheld aggregated
nearly two hundred thousand dollars.
Acting in concert, eighteen hundred
teachers instituted separate suits. The
city, acting as defendant, was liable to
incalculable court expenses; and the
city attorney soon found law enough
to authorize the settlement demanded
by the teachers.

The large endowment recently raised
in Northern cities for Gen. Armstrong;
beloved school at Hampton, and the
practical interest taken in Booker
Washington's Tuskegee Institute, are
fresh proofs OF Whittier's assertion
that the black and white races are in
tether, and must rise or fall together
The poem with which this rhyme con-
cludes, originated as follows: When
Gen. O. o. Howard was working
among the negro schools, at the close
Of the war, he said to class in At
lanta that he was going North, and in
CURED what message he should take to
the folk up there. There was dead
silence for moment, when little fell
low in a white Jacket looked into the
face of the beloved one-armed soldier
and replied: ''Massa. tell 'em we's ris-
in, wes risin'v't

serous and honorable to announce the
fact In advance. bnt 1t viii not swell
the list Of guests It is more than pos
sible that the Paris hotel keepers and
tradesmen are counting their chickens
ere they have ceased to be eggs.
Prices are more or less matter Of
supply and demand in an exposition
city as elsewhere, and il the Parisians
begin by making it impossible for Wis
it0rs Of moderate means to attend the
fair they may be glad to lower their
exorbitant schedules before long. So
far as Americans are concerned, the
effect of the news before mentioned is
to knock in the head all schemes for
getting up cheap excursion parties to
attend the exposition. The steamship
companies, as well as the Paris trades
men, have said enough to indicate that
the numerous projects for phenomenal
~ cheap trips to the Paris exposition
and back are not to be relied upon.

The Kansas City Convention.

When 1t was reported that Mr.. Bryan
had expressed a preference for Kansas
City as the place for holding the Demo-
cratic National Convention, all that was
necessary to carry it thither was to
verify the report. The fact that Kansas
City was selected by vote of 40 to
shows that the reported preference Of
Mr. Bryan was understood. Some time
ago al Democratic correspondent in
Washington said that if the convention
should go to Milwaukee the location
would be regarded as equivalent to q
decision to make imperialism the lead
ing issue and to put silver in the back
ground. On the contrary. il Kansas
City We're selected, it would mean that
16 to 1 would be the leading issue. One
reason given for taking the convention
to Kansas City is that the holding of it
there will exert an influence to bring
the State of Kansas back to the Bryan
column. If that has affected the deci-
sion. 1t is an admission that the BRYAN
leaders have no expectation of swing
ing any State Of the Northwest into the
Bryan line. In other words, the BRYAN
National Committee has decided to
fight in 1900 to hold the States that
Bryan carried in 1896. That this is the
purpose of the Bryan leaders is further
verified by Bryanites calling the Popu-
list National Convention in South Da-
kota, another State which has broken
away from the fusionists since 1885,
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Writing in Education, Prof. James s..
Snoddy urges that more attention be
paid to English composition in ele-
mentary schools. 1t is true, as he says,
that as boy learns to plow by plow-
ing, so he learns to write by writing.
Instead Of compelling him to memorize
rules and definitions with regard to
writing he should be allowed to learn
by practice. Not every boy is able to
direct himself in the right way, as did
Franklin and Lincoln. 1t is the duty
of the teacher to do for the young stu
dent what Franklin and Lincoln did
for themselves. Prog. Snoddy's sug-
gestion Is that the teacher should be-
gin by teaching the pupil to express
himself orally, and he should be urged
to talk freely Of what he has seen and
tell his experiences. This, however,
is work that should be done largely In
the homes; the parents should encOur-
age such conversations, although most
parents suppress them almost as abb
ruptly as the dormouse was suppressed
in 'Alice in Wonderland" After the
SAAAO AdS UCcA AIuuc w edANS AOA'
Snoddy says, he should be given an OPP
portunity to write of what he has seen.
Meanwhile, he declares that the best
aid to correct expression is knowl-
edge of the best literature, and teach
ers will do well to follow his advice,
which is to begin early and give them
as much as possible. The teaching of
correct expression orally and in writing
should not be neglected in any element
airy school, and one might go further
than Prof. Snoddy and insist it should
begin with the child's first lesson.

The petition Of the seniors in one Of
the great colleges to the faculty asking
them to suppress the sophomore socie-
ties as hotbeds Of "exclusiveness," with
all that the word implies, indicates a
sad state Of affairs in the leading uni
yersities. 1t is an admission that in
this particular one (and in the other
leading universities the great majority
OF the students in the successive classes
are so dominated by the tyranny Of
snobbishness that they cannot of them
selves make Roadway against the SUI
premacy Of the very small minority
who constitute the exclusive" set.
This is indeed discouraging news to
come from a seat of learning. It indi-
Gates that the spirit Of democratic
equality which it's President described
as the most priceless possession of this
institution is in danger, IL indeed 1t
has not already been sadly impaired.

veloped in France-this time in the

but the evidence against him is said
to be convincing. 1t is alleged, for in

writing on official stationery offers to

he did what he is charged with doing

There he is n dark and bloody con-

Vernal, April 9O.-The people of this
section who ave been contemplating
making improvements this season have
been thrown into CONSERVATION by an or
der from Forest Superintendent May, re-
ceived by James Griffin, the VernaI lum-
herman, giving him thirty days notice
to move his sawmill off the Uintah re-
serve, and intimating that all mills will
be given similar notice
Mr.. Griffin had made application to the
department for permit TO cut timber for
the settlers of Ashley valley. and the
action OF the forest superintendent comes
as a surprise to him.
If the department persists in the rigid
policy, as now seems the intention, it
wall work a very severe hardship upon
the community.
Contractors who have been figuring on
the new court house and other public
buildings are now badly Handicapped, as
the cutting of of the native lumber will

If the settlers are actually to be de-
priVed of native lumber in the face of
the fact that they are over 100 miles from
railway, then Uintah's building boom,
which promised to be a record-breaker
this season, viii be off.
A petition IS being signed, asking for
RELIEF, and Senator RaWlins and Con-
gresham King viii be urged to act in
the matter at once and avert, If possible,
very serious blow to the development
of the Uintah basin.

Mass of Testimony Produced
Yesterday.
ONE AMUSING WITNESS
HAD COME OUT TO TELL THE
TRUTH.
Admits Having Said He would
Have That Water in Spite Of
HIP When Cross-examined in a
Terrifying Way by Judge Andrew
Howat-Trumbo Suit Decided.

No startling developments were made
yesterday through the testimony TAX
en- in the HERMAN irrigation case, on
trial before Judge Rolapp in the equity
ision of the Third district court.
Witnesses for the plaintiff are still be-
ing produced, mostly citizens from
HERMAN and farmers from the neigh
Dorhood. The court room has present
ed an unusual appearance all week in
the presence Of SO many farmers, many
OF them, especially those who were
brought there as witnesses, being old
men.
Daniel Dinsley, farmer well I'D in
years, made an Internationally anus
ing witness yesterday morning. He is
a man Of very positive ideas. While
answering questions put by Attorney
Sam King for the plaintiff he volun-
teered the statement that he was there
TO tell the truth, and would tell it at
any cost. No one, as far as is known,
had questioned his veracity. The re-
mark OccasiOned Subdued laughter in
the court room.
When it came to cross examination,
Judge HoWat took the witness in hand.
and, in the loud voice which has
brought terror to the heart Of many
not fact that he had made the state
ment that he (Dinsley) would have

little humming and having, the wit
ness admitted that he had said words
to that effect He also testified that
since the defendant had come into the
peaceful valley of Herman ard
tapped the water supply, his crops had
only amounted to about half the yield
Of former harveStS This was not what
Judge HOwat wanted, SO he turned the
witness over to counsel for the plant
if again.
AT the close of the afternoon session
the plaintiff began the introduction Of
expert testimony. The only expert ex-
amined yesterday was Marcus A.
Jones' who testified to the fact that
the action of the defendant was suff1-
cient to draw the water away from the
thirteen springs which the plaintiff
claims have been dried up. PrOfes-
sors Talmage of the University of Utah
and Hinckley of Provo will also offer
expert testimony for the plaintiff. The
defense will call on Professor Steven
son Of this city for expert testimony
from the other point Of view.

RESERVOIR PROJECT.
Spring City People Will Provide for
More Water.

Especial COrreSpOndence.)
Spring City, May "A meeting was hello
at the city hall last evening to hear the
report of the committee appointed at a
previous NEE ting TO look over the Alfred
reservoir site east of town. The COM
mittee reported favOrably toward the
proposition and the following committee
was appointed to further investigate the
matter and report at later meeting: S.

Hans Nielsen, r w. Alfred, Carl Han
sen and John S. Blair. The site is stu
ated about three miles east of Spring
City in what IS known as the Black Hills.
By constructing a dam nineteen feet high
and 800 feet long, il is estimated that the
water will cover an area Of between
twenty-five and thirty acres of land, and
will be sufficient to irrigate 1000 acres
for the last watering, that is when the
high water season has passed. Quite an
interest is manifest. and if the conditions
are favorable ii is probable that the pro-
ject will go through all right
