A Matter of Course.

The Pop organs are triumphantly re-
peating the conundrum of the New
York Herald: Did the Republicans
alone create all this prosperity, or did
God help?" There is no doubt about
the right answer, of course.
God always helps those who help
themselves The calamity howler who
lies back and kicks and roars in time
Of stress gets no assistance from on
high. But the Republicans as soon as
they got hold of this government rose
up and busted intelligently to improve
the conditions, and the good Lord gave
them lift as a matter of course-Ne-

Purchased a "salted" Mine.

Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 1O.-Developments
slowly coming to light go to prove that
the stockholders of the Peoria-Alaska
Gold Mining Company have a 'salted''
mine on their hands. Thomas Darby,
a nephew of Charles D. Clark of this
city, returned from the Klondike a lit
tie more than year ago with accounts
of the rich strike he had made in the
gold fields. He interested Mr.. Clark
and other prominent Peorians, and the
Peoria-Alaska company was organized,
several thousand dollars being paid
over for the claim, which now proves
almost worthless. Darby's where
abouts is not known.

Gen. John Watts dePeyster, who de-
clares that the earth is fixed in space
and who laughs at those who hold
to the Copernican theory of the solar
system. is one of the most distin-
guished veterans of the Civil war and
was formerly military expert of in
ternational fame. In his old age-he
is now 79-he has turned his atten-
ton to astronomy, and has just trans
lated lecture of Berlin professor,
Prof Schoepffer, who proves to the
generals satisfaction that Kepler,
Newton, Copernicus and all their fol-
lowers are in gross error when they
assert that the earth moves around the
sun or upon its own axis.

he Is on the question of which side to
take when the United States is at war.
He contends that If the American flag
can be removed from China with the
soldiers who carry it there in their ex-
pedition to rescue the American citi-
zens from death at the hands of the
treacherous Asiatics, 1t may, for the
same reason, be hauled down in dis
honor and removed from any part Of
the territory of the United States.
HE seems to be ignorant of the use
of the American flag In foreign lands
for the protection of the rights and
privileges of American citizens where
ever they may be, and to confound
such with the permanent planting Of
the flag on American soil, as an en-
blem of territorial possessions and ma
tional sovereignty. He does not seem
to understand that the flag may float
anywhere and everywhere for the pro-
lection of American citizens, and that
1t floats at home not only for such pro-
lection, but as an emblem of sover-
eighty. He does not seem to recognize
any difference between the migratory
and ubiquitous use of that flag to pro-
tect American rights throughout the
world, and the use of that flag to de-
note the exclusive power and jurisdic-
tion of the United States In every part
of our own country.
I'm comparing the removal Of the flag
from foreign soil. when the purpose
for which 1t was taken there shall have
been accomplished, with the tearing
down of the flag on American soil in
the face of an enemy, Mr.. Bryan dis
plays Ignorance Of the question, or

Charee May Have to Withdraw

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Orders have
been cabled to General Chaffee to pre-
pare his force for withdrawal from
Pekin. Further than that, the War
Department has taken steps to have at
Taku a sufficient number of United
States transports toremove these troops
to the Philippines as soon as they
reach the port.
These orders are preparatory, and do
not necessarily indicate that our gov
ernment has decided finally upon an
immediate withdrawal from China. It

to carry out the pledge conveyed in the

A WINNING TICKET.

Utah Republicans Name State Omcers at
Provo.
The work of the Republican conven-
ton in Provo yesterday was a theme
| for rejoicing among the Republicans of
| this city; 1t was the occasion of deep
sorrow among the Salt Lake Tagals.
The ticket and the platform are most
satisfactory; both are promises of vic
tory.
The platform is frank and fair; moth
ing in 1t indicates any desire to evade
any of this years issues; it stands by
President Mckinley in his work of ex-
ecuting the laws; it praises the great
work he has performed under mighty
trials; 1t holds up his hands as the
needed work progresses.
On the question of silver 1t tersely
points out that the conditions which
made it vital issue four years ago
have ceased to exist, and points out
that greenbacks are much more a So
licitude to Mr.. Bryan this year than
silver.

to protection; it treats the Philippine
question as Jefferson did Louisiana, as
Monroe did Florida, as Polk did Cali
fornia. 1t arraigns the Democracy for
its hypocrisy and imbecility.
The ticket looks to us like winning
one, like one to conjure by.
The people of Utah are old-time pro-
tectionists; when they look out upon
their flocks and herds, their fields Of
beets, their lead and copper mines and
their manufactures, they will hesitate
before they determine to serve notice
on the nation that they want that pro-
lection withdrawn.
They are old-time expansionists.
When they settled in this corner of
Mexico, they remember that Mexico
passed the title to the United States
and that the great Republic never once
thought of asking their consent to the
change of government; and still, in the
fullness of time, they saw their beauti-
full state take form and saw it received
with all honors into the Union. They
will hardly, this year, cast a vote of
censure or protest against the onward
| march of the great Republic.
Some of their boys died in the Phil
ippines. They will not vote to give the
chief magistracy of the country into
the hands of a man who says in ad-
vance that if elected he will turn over
those islands as spoils to the men who
killed the Utah boys; and more, will,
| if necessary, use the army and navy
| of the United States to secure to those
| thieves and murderers for all time
their stealings.
| The promises for election day are all
fair.-Salt Lake Tribune.
