environments-the forms of life cap
able OF fourishing in aetenuated air
have survived, while those requiring
denser air have dropped out Of exist
ence.
The tenuity of the atmosphere OF
Mars is not the only fact which sug-
gests that the inhabitants Of that
planet are not fashioned after the image
of man. 1t is known beyond the posi-
bility Of doubt that the force with
which a substance is attracted to the
surface of Mars is but little more than
a third as strong as it is on the earth,
or, 10 express the point in figures, 100
pounds on the earth would only weigh
thirty-eight pounds on Mars, if tested
in a spring balance. In consequence Of
this weaker pull, it would be possible
for human being TO perform astOnish-
ing feats on Mars without excessive
muscular exception. A man who could
jump five feet here could top fifteen
feet there; he could lift 800 pounds by
putting out the same strength as it re
qUired to raise 100 pounds On the earth.
he could spring across a road as easily
as ne now leaps over a mud puddle, and
a couple OF bounds would carry him 10
the top Of a flight of stairs.
But, paradoxical as 1t may seem the
smaller q planet, and, consequently.
the less the pull Of gravity at its sur
face, the greater is the probability that
its inhabitants are giants compared
with us. Terrestrial giants are generally
weak IN the knees; they are crushed
by their own weight. But on Mars
they would only weigh one-third as
much, and would, therefore, be able to
move about IN a 6prightly fashion. so
that an elephant there might be quite
nimble animal.

Toran. Utah, March 24.-An i'm
,,e-r a throng greeted B. H. Roberts at
the opera house tonight, and an en-
tbusiastic reception was given him. A.
. Barber was chairman Of the meet
ing and after a brief address he in
troduc.I Mr.. Roberts. He commenced
his speech by pointing out the import
ancs Of the coming election.
,.Yoc have" said he, "a chance to
follow your pioneering instincts and
haze the way Of right through the po-
IticaI sophistry wrapped about the
real live issues Of the day by the Re-
publieans Of the state and nation. Z"
The speaker then took up the two plat
forms and pointed out the absolute
worth essuess Of the Republican plat
form They claim" said he, that
they were modest and didn't want to
anticipate the Republican convention
10 meet next June. / more than half
suspect hat the real trouble was they
did not know exactly what Mark Han
N wanted.
Proceeding to a discussion of the is
sues of the campaign, Mr.. Roberts
first took up the silver question. max
ing q forcible presentation Of fact in
connection herewith. The mention Of
Bryans name drew tremendous ap-
pIause He next analysed the prosper
itv argument Of Hammond and Smith.
The argument Of Mr.. Hammond, that
because of an increase in the volume
OF money Of S340, 600, 900, we have pros
perity, is but a proof Of the correct
ness OF the Democratic stand on the
financial question. Under a free coin
age law the volume would have been
increased by ten times that amount and
an Increase IN cause always produces a
Ike increase in effect; so instead of
now enjoying the present meagre
measure Of prosperity, we would be
living in the full light Of prosperity's
sun if Democratic laws had been put
on the statute books.
The administration policies in re-
gard to the government of the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and Cuba were held
in comparison with the promises of
Mckinley in relation thereto, uttered
at the time Of the conclusion Of the
Spanish-AmeriCan war, and the incon-
sistency and injustice of its present
attitude pointed out. Throughout his
remarks Mr.. Roberts was frequently
applauded, and received a splendid
round when he concluded his remarks.

HARRIS IN PTUTE.
silver-TOngued Orator Making Many
Democratic Votes.
Especial to The Herald

Richfeld, Utah, March 24.-Hon.
Fisher Harris delivered a very clear
and logical address to an appreciative
audience tonight in the opera house.
He clothed the arguments in relation
t' the issues OF this campaign in a new
dres. and brought out the differences
in the principles Of the two parties so
plainly mat no one was left in doubt.
He called up a number of the asser-
ttons made by Messrs. Sutherland and
Hammond, and showed how they had
attempted 70 blind the people. Since
1873 when silver was demOnetized both
parties had declared for its remonetiza-
ton, but not until 1896 had it become
a paramount issue, and at the dicta-
ton Of the money power the Republic
can party had been compelled TO throw
aside its false pretension. The same
power had attempted 10 rule the Demo-
cratic convention, but had been hurled
with its servants from the party.
Mr.. Hammond, declared the speaker,
w.s with his party. and his vote. If it
was one that would do it. would not
be cast to restore silver coinage. The
Democratic party proposed that the
burdens of government should rest
more squally upon the wealth of the
country and stood pledged TO an in
come tax. Mr.. Hammond's vote would
be against such a statute upon the
books
Mr.. Harris enumerated several vital
issues in which Mr.. Hammond, to be
an honest Republican and a consistent
man. would vote against the interests
of the people. The speaker read a long
list of common necessities upon which
the trust prices had risen from 20 TO
LOO per cent.

Fillmore. Utah, March 24.-The cam

was opened tonight in the old ex-cap-
itol. The speaker was Hon. D. c.
Dunbar, and he spoke to one of the
largest audiences any political speaker
mas mad the pleasure Of doing in this
city Tor many years. The stage was
neatly decorated with flowers in pro-
FUSION, which made the platform look
very pretty, such a contrast to the
cold and chilly stage that Miller and
Tanner occupied two nights previously.
when Mr.. DuIaDar was introduced by
Chairman j. +. Ray, he was received
with great applause. All listened to
MS remarks with the closest attention.
1t Was a representative gathering, and
a responsive one, and every point made,
and there were many, was appreciated.
He spoke of the cause leading up to
this special election, showed where the
responsibility lay, and answered Mil
lers and Tanners talk made Wednes-
day evening. His arguments on the
silver question and trusts were clear
and interesting, and without a doubt
won many doubtful voters over to De-
mocracy.
At the conclusion of his speech, which
occupied one hour and thirty-five min
utes, three roUsing cheers were given
for Judge King.
The Democratic Glee club deserves
much praise fer the fine music it fur
nished.

The long existing feud between Colo
mel Michael Shaughnessy and Judge
William Mckay eliminated in an up
to-date affaire d'honneur yesterday af-
ternoon, and the judge got decidedly
the worst of it. While there has been
bad feeling on both sides for long
time, the publication OF a statement by
the Judge yesterday morning was the
immediate cause of the colonePs ire.
He awaited his chance all day and at
about o'clock it came.
The two men met at the entrance to
the Atlas block and then the trouble
began. Colonel Shaughnessy's anger
had reached a climax and he raised his
cane and struck Judge Mckay a ter
rife blow over the forehead which
staggered him. As soon as he had re-
covered from the dazed feeling super
induced by the blow, the judge made a
rush for the colonel with the intention
of planting his foot in the soldiers

LIFE IN MARS.
IF There Are Human Beings There
They Are Probably Giants.
CNntinrnal Rar.i..-r

Mars possesses so many features in
common with the earth that it is i'm
possible to resist the thought that it
also has inhabitants. This is, however,
by no means equivalent TO saying that
Marian folk are constituted in the
same way as human beings; indeed,
every consideration points TO the con-
trary. Whatever atmosphere exists on
Mars must be much thinner than ours,
and far too rare to sustain the life of
a people with our limited lung capacity.
A race with immense chests could live
under such conditions, or a folk with
gills like fishes could pass a comfort
able existence in spite of the rarefied
air. The character Of life anywhere is,
in fact, nodded by the external circum-
stances, and as these are known TO be
different on Mans from what they are
on the earth, Marian inhabitants must
have developed peculiar characteristics
in order to adapt themselves 70 their

Special to The Herald,


Beaver, Utah, March 24.-The Hon. D.

this place this evening, and at 1880 p.

minutes for the opening, he to follow
for one hour, and they close in fifteen
minutes, which, after considerable par
leying. was declined. Hundreds were
unable to obtain admission, and Ride
outs entrance was greeted with cheers.
Mr.. Rideout was cheered to the echo
on rising and for over an hour and a
half he held his audience with a dis
cussion of the issues. His eloquent ar
gument will long be remembered, and
his views on the Philippine question
were in touch with his hearers, closing
with an explanation why w. II. King
refused the nomination for congress two
years ago. Major F. A. Grant and c..
