DIscIPLINING AN OPERATOR.
Western Union Chiefs Experience
With Refractory Employe.

Every telegraph operator in the country
knows William J. DealY of the Western
Union. When ii is said that an operator
in California knows one in New York
knows his signature over the wire, and
many warm friendships exist between
men who never have seen each other, but
whose acquaintance is ripe and dear
through the medium of the key. One
dsy, as Mr. Dealy. then chief operator in
the home office. was passing through the
great room at the top OF No. 1876 Broad
way. he heard a young man using strong
language over the wire to some one in a
distant state. My boy he said, gently
touching the youth on the shoulder, per
haps IL is not so desperate a case as YOU
imagine. What has he done to You?''
The explanation was that for a long time
the chap had refused to take message
or in any way TO attend to business. Let
me have your kew for moment" said
the chief operator. Il viii converse with
him.

which in the Vsrnaculdr meant for some

STEEL TRUSTS BEST ASSET.

A REPUBLICAN, NEWSPAPER pub
II lished in Chicago quotes a Re
publican as saying that President
Sehwab OF the steel trust. in making
his recent statement of the assets of
the United States Steel corporation,
omitted the valuation of probably the
most valuable of all. This man said;
This is device which shuts out all
foreign competition. 1t is a scheme
which compels foreign manufacturers
Of steel and iron who want to sell
goods in the American market to stand
a handicap OF 40 per cent before they
can do so. How much this asset is
worth to the steel trust it would be
very difficult for an outsider to esti-
mate, and for that reason should like
10 see President Schwab's figures. I
Venture the assertion that he would
not rate Il a penny less than LOCO ,OO0.-
900. Probably the fact that this asset
is on the federal statute books under
the name of the Dinghy law led Mr..
Schwab to leave it out of his long, inn
posing list OF the property and re-
sources of his corporation
Aiit f'PiAiiNhFAu AAFDunnEAu. one OF
the staunchest Republican papers in
the country. and one that stands al
ways for what IL believes to be right,
regardless of the consequences. sug-
gests that probably this unnamed Re-
publican is Chairman Babcock of the
Republican congressional campaign
committee. and adds: He was talking
in that strain. and proposing bills
which We're promptly smothered by his
party in the house. just before assum-
ing direction Of the congressional can
vass. But whoever the unnamed Re
publican is. he is nnquestionably rep
resentstiye OF a large element of his
party in the west"
The Republican is undoubtedly right
in its assumption that this is the view
Of the great majority OF that party in
the west. u might also have fncIuaes
ell parts Of the country in which the
steel trust Is not a dominating local DO
Iitical factor.

The MARS ISSUE

A n OUTLINE OF the Republican cam
"A paign text book furnished by the
Associated Press gives some idea of the
lines TO be followed by the party in
the approaching congressional strug-
gle.
Protection and prosperity is TO be
the chief slogan. and the trust issue is
described by this paragraph:
THE attitude of the two great par
ties on the trust question is clearly
defined. That OF the Democratic party
looks to constant agitation, with no
restricting legislation. That of the Re-
publican party to such restriction as
VIII prevent arbitrary advance in prices
or reduction in wages through exclu-
sive control, but not the destruction by
legislation or injury by fictitious agita-
ton OF legitimate enterprise, through
the great manufacturing systems by
which production is cheapened, prices
of manufacture reduced and perma-
nency-o of employment assured"
Truly, the Republicans have limited
their attitude to "such restriction as
Will prevent arbitrary advances in
prices or reduction in wages through
exclusive control, but not destruction
by legislation or injury by fictitious
agitation OF legitimate enterprise"
More than that. the restriction" is a
farce and the trusts know it.
They have advanced prices until the
increased cost of living is in effect a re-
duction of wages wherever the con-
suner is reached by trusts.
They are selling goods abroad at
from 25 10 50 per cent less than they
charge for the same products to pro
tected" Americans.
They are paying enormous dividends
on watered stocks and doing it by ex-
tortion through control of prices.
The Republican spellbinders may talk
themselves black in the face on this
issue; they cannot convince any house
wife or householder that she or he is
being safeguarded from trust robbery
by anything the Republican party has
done In the way of legislation against
trusts.
The grocery bill, the meat bill, the
very nails in dead mans coffin, bear
the cost stamp OF Republican friend
ship for trusts and protection of their
dishonest profits.
With absolute control of congress in
both branches, and with a Republican
president for six consecutive years, the
Republican party has not only done
nothing 10 curb the trusts or bring
them within legitimate bounds, but it
has fostered them, encouraged their
policy OF extortion and accepted their
brides as campaign funds to be paid
by Immunity from molestation.
Trust robbers viii be the main issue
in this campaign. and it offers the best
possible grounds for believing that the
Republicans win lose when they appeal
10 the people.

ARCHsisHoPiRELAso'ssERMoN


A RCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND. the
- great Catholic prelate. has given
his parishioners another word of warn
ing. the second within a month, against
their unfriendly attitude toward the
national administration on the Philip
pine question. The archbishop's rela-
tons with President Mckinley, Mr..
Hanna and President Roosevelt justify
some doubt as to the entire disinter-
estedness of his views. but with all
that, he says some forceful things that
are entitled TO consideration.
While he does not say so. specifically,
it is easy 10 discern that his sermon of
Sunday is reply to the most radical
of the Catholic editors who have as
saulted the administration for its policy
toward the church schools in the Phil
ippines, and its treatment of church
officials who have been foUenting strife
among the natives and delaying pacifi-
cation according to the administra-
tons plan.
No matter what the merits OF the
case, Archbishop ireland states some
general truths that should be empha-
sized. Deprecating any step that might
stir up religious prejudice and strife.
he says: THE simplest approach among
them (CathOlics) to form a political
party on the basis OF religious interests
would be fatal to those interests and
fatal to public peace. It is quite easy
for few to kindle a fire which will
threaten ravage to a whole community.
and which a whole community will find
it an arduOus task to extinguish."
Proceeding on this line, he urges his
hearers to be careful in their agitation
of any grievance, since a quiet, careful
presentation of the case is certain to
be heard with more force than if it is
accompanied by violent methods.
The breadth of the declaration on the
subject of religious organization for po-
litical purposes gives the archbishop's
utterance, peculiar value and stamps
him as genuinely in sympathy with the
spirit Of American institutions. His
words may well be needed, not only by
Catholics. but by all who are ready to
use church organizations for selfish and
non-religious ends.

A VISITORS DISGUST.
To. The Salt Lake Herald:

To. The Salt Lake Herald:
/ noticed an article in your paper
concerning your awful streets and side
walks. They would be a disgrace to a
country town, and more so TO a city.
A few days ago L had occasion to go
west as far as Seventh West. I am a
stranger in town and thought I would
take my baby and walk, thinking l
was in city and would be likely to
find sidewalks, If nothing else. I
started out with new go-cart that
cost $50, and when 1 came home it
was not worth IS. In one place I had
my choice of pushing the cart over the
wheels in a ditch or go over a pile of
dirt on the sidewalk. Finally a woman
came out Of her house and helped me.
or / would have been there yet.
I have visited every large city in the
United States and Canada and have
never found anything 10 equal the
streets and corner signs of this town.
Why, some of the street signs are
curled around the posts, while some
others look like a corkscrew.

A GOOD APPROPRIATION.

Z OLLOWING THE PRECEDENT SET
during the Pioneer Jubilee in 1897,
the city council last night appropriated
$4,000 to pay for the street lighting dec
orations during the Elks' convention.
The money will be well spent in this
service. and as an investment it's value
is unquestiOned.
Now let the business men follow the
example of the council and decorate
their establishments as lavishly as they
can afford. either with electric lights
or bunting. or flags. or with all of these
evidences of welcome and good cheer.

PAYING THE WEDDING FEE.
Three Yarns of the Experiences of
Couples.

Queer things happen in the experience
OF parsons One OF them. while out OF
town. was called back by rush letter;
telling him that joyful couple waited
him to be made one. He took the first
train for home, and shortly after his ar
rival the two presented themselves After
the ceremony the bride. who appeared 10
be the business partner, drew him aside
and asked: ''Parson, how much will this
be?''
'-Oh, 1 have no fixed charges for we'd
dings," answered the clergyman ANY
thing you please"
wei, say continued the bIushing fair
one, 'can you change a dollar?'
And, as Huckleberry Finn says, 'he
done it"
on another occasion a happy pair met
at the clergyman's house. and the bride
got there first. In order 20 speed them
on their rosy way quickly as possible,
the clergyman started TO fill out the mar

name of the groom?" he asked the young
woman
We'll. now, l amt just sure. but folks
call him Al. 1 don't know whether il >
Albert or Alfred. I'll have to wait and
ask him"
So the paper could not be filled till the
groom arrived: Mustn't she have caught
him in a rush?
One of the most remarkable yarns of
this sort is told of a clergyman I'm Brook
Ign, and it is true. He was called to his
door one evening by a stout pull at the
bell. and found there a sailor and his
sweetheart. They had come to be mar
ried. He performed the ceremony. At
the end of il the sailor asked the amount
of the damage. and was told there was
no fixed charge. ''Wiu a dollar do?'
asked the sailor.
Certainly"

pocket, considered again and thrust il
back. Then said he: I'll see how she
wears. and If she's worth it I'll pay you
later

noisy hail in the street, and 10, there was
the sailor crossing to him with light
bounds. Here's your dollar, parson," he
cried. She's worth IT,"

or play, but you can ask the clergy
