Commander Sims Case
,ditor OF the London Times.

Editor OF tho London Times.
Sir-I think it must be evident. here
as at home, that the President has in.
hicted upon Commander Sims Just so
much censure as he was strictly obliged
to, and no more, Nobody doubts that
this American naval officer, in pledging
his last dollar and drop Of blood should
England want them, said more than any
naval officer can properly say abroad,
But. for all that, Commander Sims was
the voice Of the American navy. Now
chat he has been rebuked for a techni-
cal irregularity, and all official proprie
ties reasscrted, the service he did re
mains a real service,
] was not at the Guildhall. but / was
at what | supposed must have been q
still more striking scene at dinner OF
the ST. George s Society in New York
some years ago; company half Eng
ish, half American. There also naval
officer came to the front. | will not
mention his name, nor does 1T matter.
He was not the regular speaker, but n
substitute, improvised at the last mo-
ment, He told us he had been in Ma
Mia when the Germans undertook TO
show Admiral Dewey how the port he
had conquered ought to be governed.
Things were near the breaking point
when Admiral Chichester took his Eng
lish fleet over and dropped anchor
alongside the American.
Nothing was said. No message was
sent 10 the Germans But everybody un-
derstood why the English had come and
what they were ready TO do, and II was
this English fleet that made IL clear 10
the Germans that Dewey was master in
Manila waters
Then he told the story of the landing
Of party OF American officers in a
South American port where lay an Eng
lish cruiser. The Americans were at.
tackled by the men on the wharf and
fighting for their lives. Two armed
boat s crews. one English, one ADcn-
can, each with orders not to laad, lay
of the pier-head.
The midshipman commanding the Eng
ish boat stood it as long as he could
say, Jack. If you'll let your men go, Ill
let mine" And they went.
So far, fact. Then vision:
] sometimes imagine day may come
when an English and an American fleet
may fud themselves within hail OF each
other and Somc-I know not what-hostilc
fleets going to quarters not very far off.
And across the little interval OF tcean be-
tween the English and American J seem
tower 10 another. II say, Jack. II you'll
let your men go. III let mine"
You should have heard the cheers.
| have some means of knowing what
the feeling Of American naval officers
is like. and my belief is that il was
truly expressed by Commander Sims at
the Guildhall and by the American of
fcer who spoke at the ST. Georges din
ner in New York

PRESIDENT JoHNsoN's TALK.

| The word brought back by President
| Joy n. Johnson of the Commercial Club
| from his visit TO the East, is distinct
ly one of cheer and good hope. He
has certainly heard good things about
Utah and the West generally, because
he is brimming over with optimism
anticipating great year for the city
and State. He says that Utah is well
advertised in the East; that there arc
multitudes of inquiries about it: that
the prospects are for visitors in large
numbers, and settlers as many AS we
can make room for, which room it will
be our business to provide.
He thinks that the vote Of the House
of Representatives giving San Fran
cisco the Panama Canal exposition viii
bring tens of thousands of people to
this region on their way to that city
with its attractive exposition, and that
AL are sure to be charmed with their
visit here. In this connection. he sug-
gests n united effort to induce all of
the railroads to give liberal stop over
privileges, so that the tourists can be-
come acquainted with Utah S opportn-
mites. with The richness of her re.
sources, and the dcsira bility of cmbrac-
ing good opportunities here for settle
ment and investment All this is good,
strong talk in the interest of the city
and State.
President johnson found mercantile
conditions TO be satisfactory, and man
ufactures also in good condition, There
IS ample money IN the country; in
fact, more than ever before, and busi.
ness confidence is being restored, so
that presently the shadow of restric-
ton, which was ill evidence somewhat
at the close Of the old year, is now be
ing fully lifted, so that we can realize
the brightness ahead.
\ matter of a good deal of impor
lance is brought up by President John
son when he refers to the talk he had
with an official of the Santa Fe rail
road, who made the suggestion that his
road might build a branch line into the
San Juan oil fields, TO take care of the
heavy traffic that is certain to develop
lherc before very long. And in this
connection Mr.. johnson naturally spoke
OF the desirab bility of Salt Lake get
ting the trade of Grand and San Juan
counties. 4 step towards getting that
trade will be the putting in of the
bridge over the Grand river at Moab.
Certainly the opportunity for Salt Lake
to get that trade is one that cannot
safely be neglected al this time. But the
big thing TO be done is to induce the
building in there of a railroad from
this side, to head off the capture of
that trade by the Santa Fe.
President Johnson was extremely OPP
timistic as to The benefit of the Omaha
exposition and the big stroke i'll the
of Utah S industries and
resources there made. He thinks that
this showing is certain to yield splen
did results for Utah. The exhibits
there from this State attracted large
and favorable attention, and gave an
idea of Utah 5 advancement and riches,
far in advance of anything heretofore
entertained.
Altogether, the report brought by
President Johnson is one of the finest
vet made, and both city and State have
good reason to expect strong material
and beneficial results from the oondi |
tions which he reports,

THE ORGANS SQUIRM.

The Smoot organ does not appear to
be able to content itself with its abor-
tive campaign for the partisan public
utilities bill, but is from time to time
disposed to quarrel with The Tribune
about matters where The Tribune is alb.
solutely right. Yesterday morning it
objected to our statement that the only
showing made by the president and
secretary Of the Commercial Club Traffic
Bureau was with respect to coal and
coke, and ores and concentrates; and
that there is nobody making any par.
ticular talk about these rates ut this
time, which is an evident fact, But in
rebuttal of that, the organ said that
somebody ought to send a marked
copy of The Tribune to the Provo man
who equipped a smeltcr, and declares
that he is unable to operate it because
of the discrimination that the rail
roads have always practiced against
his plant And it adds that ''it
may be news to him that the freight
rate on ore is satisfactory, but the sur
prise will be all the more pleasant on
that account Inasmuch as the prod
uct of that smeltcr has little TO do with
the freight rate on ores, the applica
tion Of the point to the question at is
sue is not apparent. However, we may
say that the Provo gentleman who
equipped the smelter presumably at
Tintic) and was unable to run it, has
been understood to give quite a diff
ferent reason than the railroad freight
rates for the closing down of his smel-
ter; a betrayal of confidence by Smooi
and a sneak with respect TO Grand Cen
trail ores might be better explanation
of the closing down of that smcljer
than anything in connection with rail
road rates on ore.
While speaking of that organ, we
may refer to its antics short while
ago, where it claimed that The Tribune
advanced the argument THAT the city
government raised the tax rate two
mills last year because the county as.
SCISSOR had raised the valuation,'i re-
ferring to the city taxes of this city,
which is such stupid perversion of
what We said that it is amazing TO
see any public Journal willing to go
upon record IN that fashion. In that
same article 1T reported The Tribune as
trying TO charge that the raise of two
mills in the city tax levy last year
was made by the county assessor This,
also. was stupid piece of fakery. abso
Iutely baseless In fact and idiotic in it's
misrepresentation of what The Tribune
actually said,
