MAYBE HE WAS RIGHT.

Those who undertake to explain the
recent Democratic victory on any other
ground than the plain facts involved
get into entanglements which they little
expect. The true explanation is that
the Republican party split in two, and
while casting a smaller vote than in
1908, was disastrously defeated. But
this defeat did not mean that the Dem
ocrats east larger vote than hereto.
fore. On The contrary, the Democratic
vote was also less than at any Presiden-
tial election for twelve years past. The
Republican split was the cause Of that
party's defeat sure enough; for il has
been clear all the time that the Repub-
lican vote was not large enough to di-
vide and still win. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer in making merry over some of the
explanations, suggests that it NAV be
possible that we must 90 back to Jo-
seph b. Foraker speech at the St.
Louis convention nominating Mckinley
Tor President for the true explanation.
At that time Governor Foraker said:
over against this fearful penalty Tthe
panic OF 1881 we can set down one great
oiessed compensatory result. 1t has de-
stroyed the Democratic party. Tr

DEATH OF DAVID BooLEs.

The sudden death of Mr. David Eccles
will make sensation in business cir
cles in Utah. He was probably the
wealthicst man in the State, and had
to do with moro large interests than
any other. He was a ell-known citi-
zen, Of immense financial grasp, and
of untiring industry. Coming 10 the
United States at an early age, the re-
sponsibihtics Of being the bread win
uer for the family fell upon him at an
early day. Uc had hard struggle TO
get start, and in this was typical Of
many, but after he got that start he
made money with rare rapidity, and it
is probable that his wealth at tho time
Of his death exceeded S20,ooo,00o.
Mr.. Ecclcs never aspired to public
station. and took but meager interest
in politics or tho social life of the COM
munity. His genius turned almost OK"
clusively to business, industry and the
establishment of profitable enterprises.
AS such he was valuable citizen, and
filled a large role in the development
Of all this region. He will be vastly
missed as a man of enterprise, of great
energy and executive ability and Of
commanding influence in an extraordi.

| oreticalIv recognizes the difference be-
tween the two classes Of shipping, but
imposes different rates of port duties
upon these two classes Of vessels. Up
10 recent times, Great Britain forbade
the employment of foreign vessels in
her coaStwisc trade, just as the United
States forbids that employment now;
but Great Britain in opening her coast
wise transportation 10 foreign shipping,
broad difference between home and for
cigu shipping, by providing dues Of far
less amount for her own vessels en-
gagged IN her coastwisc trade than for
foreign vessels engaged in that trade.
and this without any opposition from
essential difference between coastwise
trade and foreign trade is fully recog-
nized and established. Further than
that, he shows that the point involved
has been expressly litigated and decided
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, which declared that a British
vessel engaged in foreign commerce was
not entitled under tho treaty of 1915
TO the exemption OF paying pilotage
accorded by law to American vessels
engaged in the coastug trade. In that
case, (OIseu VS.. Smith 195, Z. S. 344,)
the court expressly said: "Ncither the
exemption of coastwise steam vessels
from pilotage resulting from the law
OF tho United States, nor any lawful
exemption of coastwise vessels accorded
by State law, concerns vessels in the
foreign trade, and therefore, any ex-
emption docs not operate to produce a
discrimination against vessels engaged
in such trade"
This Interpretation Of the treaty Of
lSl3 has been adopted and carried into
practice by Great Britain for nearly
century, thus giving it the same validity |
as though a clause respecting coastwise |
trade had been inserted therein. And |
Mr.. Bartlett fairly concludes that if the |
words " British vessels and 'vcssels !
Of the United States" as used in the |
treaty of 1915, do not include vessels |
engaged in the coast trade, rs | feel !
,as been sufficiently demonstrated, it is
difficult to understand how the words

IS used in the Hay Pauncefote treaty

The discussion Is a straig ghtforward,

lusions in effective form. We do not
