POSTPONE THE CONVENTION.

THE HERALD is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the Republican county
committee IN its effort TO have the
state convention of that party post
poned so that it viii not conflict with
the EIks' convention, though the for
mer is scheduled for ogden and the
latter for Salt Lake. The Elks propose
TO have freak parades and numerous
preconcerted freakish performances. for
all Of which due and ample prepara-
tions are being made. Hence it would
be manifestly unfair for the Republic
ans to meet and display, free Of charge,
the museum OF its curios in competition
with the Elks.
Let the Republicans wait, so the pub
lie may give undivided attention to
their unequaled and unparalleled per-
Torrance. No one familiar with Utah
Republican conventions would miss
for the world the antics that then hold
the boards. With attention divided by
a multiplicity OF attractions one might
miss-aud ever afterwards regret-a
characteristic Grafton by Potato"
George Smith; he might not observe
the embellishing gyrations Of Mayor
Bill Glasmann's eloquent body gestures,
which report says he carefully prac-
tees before a mirror, and his pedal flip
flop. more charming than and equal
ly as soothing as an African cake walk.
He might not hear the fervid tones of
Proves only and unapproachable John
G. Booth. who aims his eloquence at
the skylight in thunder tones that fire.
quentiy shatter the glass.
These are only a few Of the things
one is likely to miss if the convention
is allowed TO conflict with the Elks.
No mention is made Of the real fight
between the warning factions of the
party for control; none Of the free-for-
all race for the congressional nominal
ton. The whole proceedings will be
intensely interesting to the beholder.
. They viii be marked by real hate: no
quarter will be asked or given: there
VIII be no wounded; only a list Of the
dead at the end OF the FRAY. Hence
The Herald insists that a due and prom
er regard for the public REQUIRES that
the convention be postponed until all
may be able at least to read without
distraction the events Of that memoir
able day when the ownership of the
Republican party in this state is de-
cided.

gaginG personality. his absolute free
dom from any faint Of fraudulent or
machine politics. caused the young
men Of the state 10 flock to his support.
Thousands of them deserted the Re-
publican party and enlisted under the
PattisOn banner with the result that
he surprised the country by winning
his fight in handsome style.
The young man made first class
chief executive He discharged his
duty ably and fearlessly and without
thought Of building up of a personal
machine. At the close of his term in
1886 he retired from active Pennsylva-
mia politics to become a member of the
United States Pacific railway commits
sion, a place he occupied until 1890. In
1891 the Democrats again asked him to
accept the gubernatOrial nomination.
He complied with their wishes and was
again elected. When his second term
was ended he went back to his home
in Philadelphia, but he has been more
or less prominent in state and national
politics ever since.
That he has a good chance to win the
fight now on will be conceded. by
everyone who has kept posted on Penn
sylvania politics. The events at the
Republican convention which nomi-
mated Judge Samuel Pennypacker for
governor have split the party into fac
lions which bitterly denounce each
other. Judge Pennypacker is ranked
as an able and upright jurist, but he is
a close friend of Senator Quay, who
forced his nomination upon the con-
vention. Pennypacker is noted as the
only man of high reputation in the
Keystone state who has ever attempted
a serious public defense of Quayism.
The Pennsylvania battle viii be
watched with keen interest throughout
the Union.

THE GRIEF OF THE IRISH.

THE PERSON of whom it was said.
His bark is worse than his bite"
must have been an freshman. Certain
~ no race was ever more prone ia. act
hastily or TO regret more sincerely than
the children of the ould sod" Only
a few days ago they were preparing
in all seriousness to make the date of
King Edwards coronation a day Of
mourning. Today we find them griev-
ing just as sincerely as anybody, and
perhaps more sincerely than most. over
the illness Of their titular master. The
situation is admirably presented by T.
P. O'Connor, the Observation-Disclosures
member Of parliament. He says:
''The sympathy for his majesty is
perhaps stronger in liberal and even
Irish circles than among the conserva-
tives. He has always shown a certain
leaning he has certainly never shown
any hostility--tO liberal principles, and
he stands especially well with the lib
erals just now, because he is supposed
to have made peace with the Beers
over Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial sec
rotary.
The Irish have a secret feeling that
his majesty is not Unfriendly to Ire
land. and for this 1 believe there is
some foundation. In any case, the
man has been struck down at the most
glorious moment of his life. And the
pity and the tragedy Of this appeals
to everyone. In regard TO the future,
the kings death would mean the pro-
roguing of parliament and the dropping
of all legislative measures now before
parliament. The members would have
to take the oath of allegiance TO a new
king.
The Prince OF Wales is young and
inexperienced, and he is. Of course.
without the authority which years Of
experience and sound judgment gave
his father. The prince is said to have
strong views in favor Of self govern
ment, drawn from his recent expert
ences on his colonial tour. But on all
hands there is apprehension as to the
future. and England is passing
through one Of her worst hours"
Mr.. O'Conuor's fears for the welfare
OF England in the event of the death
Of King Edward and his succession by
the Prince Of Wales, are well founded.
As he says, the prince has had but
scant experience in statecraft and is
iI-fitted by education or by nature to
assume the grave RESPONSIBILITIES which
accompany kingship.

HIS DAUeHTER,s GHOST.
It Appeared to an Arctic Explorer at
the Hour Of Her Death.
(WashingtOn StaTO


In the matter of apparitiOns, / had one
experience which convinced me that there
is something in psychical science, even if
everything claimed in connection with it
is not true explained a well known gene
tleman TO a Star reporter. Some years
since circumstances made me a member
Of an arctic expedition. We were pretty
far up toward the north and were tied
Up very snugly in a huge ice pack with
cherries surroundings, and had been
there for some time. Time passed rather
slowly, and to keep myself occupied,
took up the study Of shorthand, giving to
it a couple of hours each day One after
noon I was sitting in the cabin studying
earnestly with shorthand characters and.
as far as I knew, my mind was thorough
~ occupied with them. when all of a sud-
den, on looking up, / say my daughter
standing Immediately in front of me. To
all intentS and DUTDOSPS she was there
as sure as when l had last seen her in
my home in Philadelphia many months
before. She did not speak or, apparently,
make any effort TO speak.
The apparitiOn did not last over a mo-
ment, but it seemed much longer. Think
ing that it might be possible for others to
see her / called out TO some Of my COM
paniOns but though there was instant re-
Spouse on the part of a COmrade he saw
nothing and neither did ] after he came
in. OF course. 1 was considerably worked
up over it, and on a suggestion of some
one made a record Of II on the ships log,
being careful TO be accurate as regards
the day, date hour and even the minute
The record is preserved today in the de-
partment. and was properly signed b.
several so there could be no mistake
about il. With the apparitiOn came into
my thought the fact that my daughter
had died, but for many months after
ward 1 was unable 10 confirm IL in any
way On the return of our party five
months afterward on reaching New
foundland the ship got mail the first We
had received for a long time I was sure
there would be letters for me from my
home and there were several Of thGm.
The first one that / opened gave me all
the confirmation I desired, indeed. more
had died in her home in Philadelphia the
exact day. hour and minute that I had
seen her up in the arctic. There was no
guess work, Imagination, coincidence or
ANYTHING else about il, except the terrible
fact. Nv comrades knew about it as well
as myself. and the ships log had ii re-
corded months before. That record is still
in existence with the other records Of the
expedition, and though it was my first
and only experience in connection with
apparitfons, il was enough 10 prove to me
and the others Of our party that appari-
lions are true sometimes, even IL they
are not always. I have no theory IN eX-
nIanat{on. and only know that the news
~ the death of my daughter thousands
Of miles away came TO me by some uneX-
blamed psychic source and by me told 70
me others while we were up in the Ice
mack of the Arctic and that 1t was fully
verified
