A WINNING TICKET.

Utah Republicans Name State Officers at
Provo.
The work of the Republican conven-
ton in Provo yesterday was a theme
for rejoicing among the Republicans of
this city; it 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 it indicates any desire to evade
any of this years issues; it stands by
President Mckinley in his work of eS-
ecuting the laws: it praises the great
work he has performed under mighty
trials; it 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 so
licitude to Mr. Bryan this year than
silver.
1t renews the allegiance of the party
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 a winning
one, like one to conjure by.
The people of Utah are old-time pro-
tectionists; when they look out upon
their fiocks 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lection withdrawn.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 1t 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 maglstracy of the country into
the hands of 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,
II 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.

.The Only Way"

Governor Thomas is outspoken and
frank in praise of his police machine
for the reason that it left the city of
Denver at the mercy of hold-ups and
murderers while the officers attended
to the more important work of defeat
ing Thomas ]. Maloney at the Demo
cratic primaries.
1.-The use of the police at any cleo
ton is not good municipal business"
said Governor Thomas, with charming
ingenuousness. "The activity of any
particular department of municipal
government in politics should, under
ordinary circumstances, be condemned,
but it was the only way to get rid of
Thomas j. Maloney and to protect the
voter. We can settle down to normal
conditions when we get rid of Maloney,
and neither the police nor any other
agency will he needed"
This bland, straightforward state
ment will do Ilu,h to enlighten the cit
izens of Denver as to the inwardness
of the recent withdrawal of the police
from their ordinary duties, and the
consequent sudden increase of vio-
lence and crime in the city.
When the police were most perni-
ciously active in their political work,
preceding the holding of the Democrat
ic primaries, there were five hold-ups
in two days, and yet the department
has not made one arrest that seems to
have justification. But it was 'the
only way" to get rid of Thomas ]. Ma
loney; and the governor of the state of
must be content and wait until the po
lice force settles down to normal con.
ditions"--Denver RApublican.

known to have been killed, but as only
two houses are still standing there it
is supposed that the loss of life was
greater than this. Seventeen persons
are missing. A Laporte relief train
that got as far as Seabrooke picked up
three bodies on the way.
Suffer Very Heavily.
At Brookshire also four deaths are
reported, and there four houses are
still standing.
Towns further north add to the sto-
ries OF horror. Cypress, Hockey, Wal
Ter and hampstead are thought to have
lost about 20 per cent of their build
ings.
At Taylor the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas depot was destroyed and several
lives are reported lost.
Bastrop, Smithville and Temple also
suffered very heavily, both in lives
and property.
Galveston Beautiful City.
Galveston, the second largest city in
Texas and the commercial metropolis
of that state. is situated at the north
east extremity of Galveston island, at
mouth of the bay of the same name.
1t is beautiful city, laid out with wide
and straight streets, bordered with
numerous flower gardens, magnolias,
Towering shrubs and trees. The streets
are only few feet above the sea and
have been frequently swept by surging
waves stirred up by cyclones and tor
nadoes.

port in the United States. Its foreign
and domestic trade is large. Its total

for the protection of the rights ana
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 it 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

of its inhabitants drowned. is the chief
sufferer in the hurricane horror of
southern Texas.
Port Arthur. its rival further to the
east, has escaped with a drenching
from a foot of water in the streets and
with the loss of a few piers.
But many other towns and villages
and cities have suffered as well as Gal
weston, and. in proportion to their
size, suffered almost as severely.
The situation for all of southern
Texas is a terrible one, but for Calves
ton it is one of horror.
The bridge across the bay from the
mainland to the island on which Gal
weston is built are either wrecked or
too badly damaged to use. The only
one that may by any chance be stand
ing is that of the Galveston, Houston
and Northern railroad. and it cannot
be used because the drawbridges over
creeks to the north are gone

Advices regarding the awful effects
of the storm which ragged along the
gulf coast of Texas began to arrive
Sunday and the story they told was
fraught with horror. First in import
ance was the news that Galveston was
struck by tidal wave and that the
loss of life there was between $500
and 5000. The water was fifteen feet
deep over Virginia point Every ef
fort was made to get telegraphic or
cable communication with the wrecked
city. but to little avail.
From the Red river on the north to
the gulf on the south and throughout
the central part of the state, Texas was

1t is curious to note that the earl of
Airlie met his death. not by a stray or
chance bullet, but by a shower of lead
sent at him through the reflection of
the suns rays on to his field glass,
having practically photographed to the
enemy's sharpshooters the position OF a
British officer of some condition. 1t
was said at the time that Sir George
Colley lost his life on the crest OF Ma
juba hill in the same way and that the
bullet which killed him drove some
of the glass into the fatal wound. 1t
is notorious that since the British Off
GERS, whom the Boer sharpshooters
have special instructions to pick off,
have dressed themselves down as far
as possible to the appearance of ordi-
nary soldiers the enemy have kept
their eyes open for men using field
glasses and have already secured nu-
merous victims in this way.

stormswept for thirty hours by a West
Indian hurricane. which laid waste
property, caused great loss of life, and
effectually stopped all telegraphic and
telephone communication south of
Austin. while the operation of trains
was seriously handicapped. Starting
with the hurricane which visited Gal
weston and the coast Saturday noon,
and which prevailed there to such an
extent that no communication was had
with the island to ascertain what the
loss to life and property were, the hur-
ricane made rapid inroads into the
center of the state. stopping long
enough Saturday night at Houston to
get the buildings of the city and to
cause much loss to property in.eIos.s

swept into the towns of Hempsted. so
miles above Houston. thence to Chap
pell Hill. 20 miles further; thence to
Brenham, 80 miles further, wrecking
all three towns and terrorizing the
people beyond expression. The storm
was so destructive at those points as
to blow over quite n number OF houses
and several persons were killed.

One tribe of Indians have arrived at
that pitch of civilization that they can
make contracts with the United States
government This is the Grow tribe

system of irrigation, raise vast guam
titles of wheat, have a first-rate grist
mill, and are building another; for
years have sold farm produce of vari-
Gus sorts as well as cattle and horses;

At Halsted. Kan, an interesting
series of experiments in wheat grow
ing is being conducted. Last fall
about $50 varieties of wheat. selected
from all over the world, were seeded,
and about eighty of these were in good
condition during the spring. 1t is de-
sired not only to determine which of
these foreign wheats will do well in
Kansas and similar climates in this
country, but an effort will be made to
improve each variety by migrating
and cross fertilization.

SECTION OF TEXAS DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE.

Santa Fe train was lifted bodily and
blown off the tracks about two miles
north of Alvin. Mrs. Prather of Ros-
enberg, Texas. was killed and half a
dozen people were injured.
The train was running slowly at the
time of the wreck. which accounts for
the comparatively small loss of life.
The car in which Mrs. Prather was rid
ing was thrown into the water and
she was pinned down with her head
out of window in such a manner
that she drowned before help came.
Not a House Standing.
Among other towns south of Hous-
ton, Hitchcock is reported to have
suffered severely, while Alta Iona, a
little village. is said to be without a
single house still standing. Pearland
