PoLAND'S SAD HISTORY.

When and why was Poland conquer
ed?" asks a correspondent, land what
power or powers took the most active
part in the conquering?"
Foreign powers and potentates To-
mented discord among the Poles them
selves, which led to opportunities and
excuses for intervention, which those
powers coveted. One faction was con-
trolled by outside influences altogether
and permitted it's internal and external
policies to be shaped by the real enc
mics of the Polish people, The other
side was composed of Polish patriots.
subject to foreign ridieule, which was
re-echoed by the party which main
tained an ascendency by virtue of for
eign financial and political support.
When the dissension was at its height
an announcement was made by the
powers that the nation was in a state
of anarchy and the people, therefore,
incapable of self-government Interven-
ton was proposed and Poland fell an
easy victim to her powerful neigh
bors.
At the zenith of Polish glory the do
main extended from the Baltic to the
Black sea. but long before the first
partition treaty. portions of the cOun-
try had been annexed by Turkey, Rus
sia, Prussia and Austria, and the re-
mainder was divided among the three
great robber states. The first partition
treaty was between Russia and Prus-
STA, dated Feb. II, 1772: the second was
between Russia, Prussia and Austria,
Aug. . of the same year. BY these two
treaties a great portion of Poland was
absorbed by the three states, and a
third treaty in 1895 completed the dis
nremberment of Poland The partition
of Poland, when completed, gave Rus
STA 2O,5OO square miles of territory, with
population of 10000, 900; Prussia $4,000
square miles and a population Of S,0O0,-

PRESS CLUB BANQUET.

The proprietor of the Kenyon had an
ocular demonstration of the power of
the press last evening. Mental and
maxillary strength combined to fill the
soul of a generous host with mingled
feelings Of satisfaction and alarm at
the banquet of the Utah Press associa-
ton.
There were newspaper men from all
parts of the state-a full representation,
especially after the banquet had been
disposed Of, and so good natured with
al that the stored woes and stereo-
typed complaints of editors and pub
fishers were discounted on the spot.
Newspapers and newspaper men Of
ten complain that their efforts in be-
half of communities are not appreci-
ated. AS rule they are not. The
ceaseless grind Of endless toll, the
thankless portion, the needless bene-
ficiaries OF the work of newspaper men
in general makes the profession seem
like a vast Sahara of unrequited devo-
ton to the best interests Of the public.
Once in a while an oasis is found like
that last evening when the editor and
publisher feels that his labors are ap-
preciated and that his life is worth the
living.

QUAY'S CASE AND CHANCE.

Matthew Stanley Quay viii probably
be seated as senator this coming week
in disregard Of the constitution which
provides method for filing vacancies.
and in violation Of the established pre-
cedents Of the national senate.
One of the strongest points made
against the overturning of all senatorial
precedents to favor Mr.. Quay. made by
Senator Cullom, is that recognition of
the power Of a governor to appoint
would constitute a strong temptation
to state executives toward using their
influence to promote deadlocks. Add to
this the primary objection that the
constitution provides for the election Of
senators and the case is complete.
Let the precedent be once establish
ed that senators may take their seats
upon the presentation of commissions
from their respective states, and the
politicians will find means to fill the
senate chamber with appointees in pref
erence to the recent methods of OBJ
tanning seats by purchase. An entire
senate by appointment would be just
as logical and constitutional as the
filling of one seat by that means.

TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Salt Lake City, Utah

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 2, 1900.
Editor Salt Lake Herald:
VIII you kindly permit me, through the
medium of your paper, TO endeavor TO
arouse the board Of health 10 the appre-
citation of the deplOrable sanitary condi-
tons investing the immediate vicinity of
the Franklin school building. just west of
the Rio Grande Western depot?
The marshy block lying just 10 the
north is now dotted with miniature lakes
of foul, stagnant water; fanking the
school grounds on the east is a supposed
drainage ditch for this marshy tract, but
this ditch has been INSTRUCTED by the
filling in of certain depressed grounds to
the southeast of the school, causing the
waters to back up with all their scum and
Seepage, the entire length of the block,
with the additional infilJration of the OOZe
from the garbage heaps at the lower end.
But worst of all, is a sickening pool Of
considerable depth located al the north
west corner of the school block. This
sink seems TO be the Sump for all the sur
rounding stables and vaults, and IS a
most abOminable reflection on the alert
ness of the health department whose duty
IL should be TO see TO the placing of every
possible sanitary safeguard for the vel
fare of the hundreds OF children who are
compelled 10 spend the greater part Of
the day there, 10 say nothing of the men
ace TO the residents Of that particular
quarter. Respectfully,
GEORGE WINsORESS.

Anglicized answer is that we cannot
act without the permission of London
bankers.
3. Shall all credit, or paper money
be issued by the government and ali
banks Of issue suppressed2
Americans are opposed 10 turning
monopoly Of paper money issuance over
to the money trust. The Republican
bosses say, let the bankers have
whatever they want" If any one
doubts this let him read the currency
bill adopted by the Republican caucus
and introduced into the present con-
gress.
4. Shall all laws which discriminate
for or against either gold or silver in
the payment Of debts be repealed?
The answer of the Democratic party
and the prayer of the American people
is that such laws shall be repealed.
Those who are now in control of the
Republican party not only refuse to
repeal them but are enacting other
laws Of the same vicious character.
These are questions the people of
Utah and Of the United States will have
to answer at the polls. The parties
have answered. them. The people must
choose between England and America

STILL GROWING.

The Republican state convention
failed to express a preference for o. j.
Salisbury for the senate; and it gave
Bill Glasmann vindication.
Hence. the platform adopted, while
almost as silent as our morning con-
temporary has been on vital issues and
pending legislation of the day. 'is a
sore disappointment" a fiat, stale
and Improbable platform" without
zone ringing sentence or one in which
is crystallized one thought to enkindle
the admiration or enthusiasm of the
masses"
1t is as fiat as a presidential message,
as stale as goldbuggery in disguise can
get, as Improbable as the Republican
campaign will be unavailing.
It has no more evidence of backbone
than Mckinley has ever shown. and
will awaken quite as much admiration
and enthusiasm as will the candidate
who stands upon it.
It is a rank fraud

wATsoN's STORY OF CHRIST.

McClure's Magazine is running a Sc
rial story of the life of Christ by the
Rev. John Watson, superbly Illustrated
and finely written. of which the au-
thor's name is a good and sufficient
guarantee.
Whatever the reader may believe of
the Bible. or think of the divinity Of
Christ, the story of the times and life
of Jesus is one of keen human inter-
est, whether told in the simple language
of the Scriptures or in the graphic
style of John Watson. Laying aside
the marvels and miracles. the sacred
ness OF tie theme, as a literary topic
and composition, il is a story of un-
equaled merit, classic simplicity and
dramatic interest. II it We're published
today for the first time or il the first
chapters were appearing in the public
prints it would certainly be hailed as
the work of a master in fiction. 1t
would be read by old and young alike
for its merit; it would be recommended
by all as a clean story full Of good
teaching-particular would this be 50

dramatic form and classic style as We

CURSE OF EMPIRE.

A monarchy, in which all things are
subservient to the crown, in which
every principle, if necessary, is sacri-
feed to exalt the throne, where central
lied power and life tenure are the con-
spicuous features of government, is
better fitted for obvious reasons to hold
dependencies and rule subject people
than is a free republic. founded upon
political equality and deriving its just
powers from the consent Of the gov

When England gained her boundless
areas as a colonizer and conQueror,
when she hung the scalps of vanquish-
ed nations upon the girdle of the earth,
and uttered first the boast that the sun
never set upon her possessions. Lord
Macaulay, her keenest observer and
greatest chronicler of events, deplored
the sacrifice of principle for power that
colonial empire made necessary. He
drew from the experience Of civilization
in general, as well as from universally
acknowledged conditions in his own
country.
I'VE venture to say that colonial en-

has Mexico and Peru done for Spain,
the Brazils for Portugal. Batavia for
Holland? Or, if the experience of
others is lost upon US, shall We not
profit by our own? What have we not
sacrificed to our infatuated passion for
transatlantic dominion?"
He added:
When colonial acquisition has been in
prospect we have thought no expenditure
extravagant, no interference periloUs.
Gold has been to us as duSt. and blood as

PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.

The Democratic platform is a clear,
concise, conservative declaration Of
party principles. Every sentence rings
with Americanism. 1t is an affirmation
Of constitutional doctrine and a plea
for the rights of the people.
The protest against Capitalization of
wealth and power, the claim that the
chief purpose of this government is and
should be the happiness and content
ment of its own people rather than the
enrichment and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
crown, are tersely stated and will meet
the approval Of every true American
and every believer in the institutions
Of a free republic.
The Declaration OF independence is
the platform Of Americans yet, al
though an object of derision for the
Tories temporarily in the ascendancy
at Washington. And the Democratic
party holds that, after the lapse of a
century and a quarter il is still true
that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness; that to secure these, gov
erpments are Instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed
The Democratic party is the party
Of bimetalliem; it favorS independent

neither looks TO London for approval

900, 900 invested-such sO-called prOtec-
ton is inimical to the welfare of the
people and is properly denounced in the
Democratic platform, while the trust
evil receives the silent approval of the
Republican platform and the open and
emphatic approval Of the Republican
candidate.
I'VE favor the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of
the people" This is Democratic doc
tTlne, but a similar proposition was
twice rejected and almost unanimously
voted down in the Republican conven-
ton.
we are opposed to imperialism and
militarism. but favor commercial ex-
pansion and progress. not by force, but
by natural and peaceful means" and
have declared from the time of Jeffer-
son TO the present day in favor Of ex-
panding to crowd foreign powers off the
American continent, but not to become
involved in their Oriental complica-
tons. and not to invite their further
encroachment in this hemisphere.
The restoration Of order in the Phil
ippines, the ultimate recognition OF the
independence of our late allies in the
war with Spain, the courage and devo-
ton of the volunteers in their efforts to
restore order in the Archipelago, the
resentment Of the libels that have been
circulated against the state, go to COM
plete one Of the best and strongest
platforms ever adopted in the state. It
presents a marked contrast to the
vague verbosity Of the Republican
platform.
