Sheridan and Evanston are both
candidates for the Republican state
convention and, for the same cause,
neither of them is eligible for the hon
or-because of the distance. They
are both at the extreme limits of the
state, one in one corner and one in the
other. The Sun hopes some central
place will be chosen for the coming
convention. Why not Cheyenne? That
would certainly be the most conven.
lent place for all Interested. Not but
what either Sheridan or Evanston
would be most delightful places to go
to on occasions like that, but no one
likes to travel 1000 miles just to take
the glad hand of an aspiring politician
or the man who thinks his town is 1T
beyond a peradventure. We hope
the State Committee will show their
wisdom by selecting a more central
location than either of the towns as.

Sympathy for Salt Lake Tribune.

Sympathy for Salt Lake Tribune.
The sympathy of the journalistic
world will go out to the management
of the Salt Lake Tribune, whose plant
was yesterday completely destroyed
by fire. The Tribune was the pioneer
paper of Salt Lake City and had in
iuential standing such as few western
papers possessed. The leader is in
clined discount the statement that the
fire was caused by Mormon incend-
iares. In view of the fact that the
Tribune had been making a strong
fight on the institution, it is but nat
ural that such a report should have
gotten out, but a thorough investiga-
ton of the fire will probably refute
the allegation. - Wallace Bond in

Reduce Passenee or Rates

We wonder what some of the anti
monopolists, those rabid fellows, who
cannot by any possible means see a
good thing in a railroad corporation,
think of the late voluntary reduction
of passenger rates by the Hartman
roads and the Santa Fe? We nave
heard a good deal of ant from
some of them about eXtortionate pas
senger and freight rates and the de
mand for the legislature to "take the
monster by the throat and throttle it
before it throttles you" kind of talk
has been all to frequent. Now comes
the monster" and of its own accord
reduces the passenger rates through
out the entire west until they bear
most favorable comparison with pas
senger rates anywhere in the United
States.
There is danger, very grave danger,
that these great railroad corporations
may take other mean advantages of
these reformers. 1t was a despicable
thing to steal away a mans thunder,
like that, and leave him with an empty
sack; but it is still worse to place
him in such a ridiculous state before
the public which he has been trying
to arouse to IA realization of it's bond
age.
People are thinking, however, and
many of them have sense enough to
e that without great corporations
progress in this western country would
be very slow and tedious. 1t takes
something like the San Francisco dis
aster to arouse people to "A knowledge
OF what a grert and beneficial thing ii
corporation can be in time of great
need. Let us be fair to the corpora
tions if we expect them to be fair to
us. In other words, to use a court
phrase, "he who asks equity, must be
ready to do equity" The man who
will not do justice to his fellow man
cannot demand justice for himself.

The bicycle craze has struck the

them hard. Boys and bicycles are

are taken to stamp the disease out

OF course, the Cuban authorities will
not admit that they have been ne
glecting the sanitary regulations that
were introduced by the Americans, but
1t is declared to be fact that these
regulations are no longer enforced in
such way as to make them effective.
There is q sanitary force, but, the
members of it, beyond drawing their
pay. do not seem to be much in evil
dence- The truth doubtless is that
they don't care whether there Is yell
low fever in the city or not. The
Cubans have no fear Of 1t, and are
not alarmed by its appearance. The
people of Havana, therefore, feel that
money spent in sanitation is thrown
away
1t is doubtful IL it will be possible
to keep the fever out of Cuba as long
as the Cubans have control. They
cannot be depended upon to take
measures for eradicating it when it
gets foothold in Havana or other
cities OF the island, or to adopt pre-
ventive measures. They are showing
themselves to be as inefficient in
health matters as they have proven
themselves in matters pertaining to
the government Of the island.

we can understand why District
Attorney Jerome lost his popularity
with the voters of New York between
the time he made his extraordinary
run as an Independent candidate for
district attorney and the nomination
OF Democratic candidates for state Of
noes, in view of the change in his
ideas OF the construction of the Square
dear as applied to the equality of all
men before the law. Alderman Mark
ert, OF Brooklyn, without criminal in
tent, attempted to obtain the restora-
ton of former member of the street
cleaning squad who had been dis.
charged because of sickness. Charity
was the motive of the alderman, the
discharged employee Of the city having
sick wife and six children dependent
on him. For his attempt to reinstate
the street cleaner, Mr.. Jerome prompt
ly had the alderman indicted. When
the case got into court the indictment
was just as promptly quashed.
The testimony before the Armstrong
committee showed that the New York
Life had paid s1,400,0O0 to Andrew
Hamilton for corrupt purposes; that
the Mutual had paid s1,200,000 to
Fields for corrupt purposes; that the
Equitable distribution along the same
lines had been 100000. George w.
Perkins contributed $4S,702 to the Re.
publican national committee and af-
forwards reimbursed himself at the
expense OF the policyholders of the
New York Life. Senator Platt testi.
fed that for years the big insurance
companies had contributed $1,000 to
each republican campaign and that
the contributions established a moral
obligation to protect the interests of
contributing companies. With all this,
Mr.. Jerome wrote to the governor of
New York that 1t was quite impossible
for him to obtain evidence that would
warrant the prosecution of high off1c.
ials in the insurance companies. When
Jerome's inactivity in the insurance
cases is contrasted with the speed he
exhibited in causing an indictment to
be issued against the Brooklyn alder
man who had attempted charitable
act. he exhibited himself in a way
that could not fail % arouse welk
merited criticism.

The Atlantic Coast
Inland Waterway.

The organization of The Inland
Waterway Association, at Wilmington,
n. c., brings the plan for the con-
struction of an inland waterway from
the northern Atlantic coast to the
mouth of the st. Johns river, again
to the fore. and the Importance of the
project, together with the compare
lively small cost at which the scheme
could be carried to completion, are
factors that will eventually result in
the waterway being built.
The Savannah News, which was one
Of the first newspapers in the south
to realize the immense Importance of
such waterway to south Atlantic
ports, and to gulf ports as we'll when
the proposed canal across the state
of Florida shall have been completed,
has the following to say upon the sub
ject:
The Inland Waterway Association,
organized in Wilmington, n. c., yes
terday, is an outcome of the agitation
which has been going on for a num-
Der of years for a practical inside wa
terway between the north and the
south. From, Norfolk, Va, to the
headwaters of the ST. Johns river,
Florida, with the exception of few
miles along the coast Of South Caro-
lima, there are rivers and sounds and
deep creeks which form a perfect in
land route. secure from the dangers
of ocean navigation. BY the expendi-
ture Of sum less than would be re.
quired for the construction and equip
ment of 200 miles OF railroad this in
land water route can be made navi-
gable for freight and passenger YES
sells, and the business that could be
worked up by and for them is practi-
cally unlimited. Heavy freights, re-
quiring low rates, would be transport
ed over such a route in preference to
any other.
Every tropical or other severe storm
that sweeps the coast strews the ocean
and beaches with valuable lumber and
timber and sends to the bottom guam
titles of coal and the craft carrying
it, An inside waterway would rob
Hatteras of its terrors to the lighter
coastwise craft
How large and profitable business
is done on inland navigable waters
is realized only by those who are en-
gagged in it. A large commerce is al
ready done over the imperfect and
shallow inside route: with deeped wa
ter and the connecting links made.
the trade would grow rapidly to enor-
nous proportions.
Savannah is interested in the pro-
ject by reason of her situation on the
route. She is interested in anything
and everything that makes for the de-
velopment of the coast country and
the commerce of this section What
ever helps Norfolk. Wilmington,
Charleston, Brunswick, Jacksonville,
and other cities and towns of the
south Atlantic, helps Savannah, and
the southern section. Savannah, there
fore, will give whatever help she can
to the Inland Waterway Association.
There isn't another country in the
world that has a chance of construct
| ing so valuable public water high
way at SO small cost. If the almost
continuous chain of bays, sounds. riv-
ers and creeks were Germany's, the
government would quickly have them
joined together with necessary canals
and dredged to proper depth.

Platt's Troubles.

Poor Tom Platt's troubles are COM
ing in for their share of expressions
from the press. Insurance, express
rebates, senate treason and wife
have kept him awake many nights but
the latter proposition he has about
settled. The astute politician hardly
expected to settle his domestic
troubles without a rap from the no.
torious Nom, and here is the way
the colonel serves him:
We have agreed to disagree;
But be it understood
There's been no immortality
We've both been very good.

Found only an old maids slipper.
We will be no Depew lollers,
Wagering our daily dollars,
But separate and free.
