LINCOLN AND RECALL.

Some time ago, in discussing Presi-
Dental primaries, we stated that the
nomination OF President Lincoln by
the Republican party would have beer
quite impossible under the primary sys-
TEN. Under that system there can be
no doubt that Mr.. Seward, who after
ward proved his inferiority to Lincoln,
would have been the Republican nomi-
nee Lincoln was nominated by the
wise counsel Of Republican leaders as
sembIed in their National convention
in Chicago, and the high nature of that
choice has been so abundantly vindi-
Gated that there can be no discussion
on that point.
Mr. Frederick W. Lehman has made
something of sensation in the Eastern
newspapers on account of his state
ment that Abraham Lincoln would
have been recalled in the midst of the
Civil War had the recall been part
Of the machinery of the National Gov.
ernment at that time We have no
doubt in the world but that Mr., Leh-
mann is quite correct in this, more
especially if the recall could have been
put into effect prior to the battle of
Gettysburg, as it probably would have
been. After the disastrous campaigns
of Burnside and Hooker in Virginia,
and when the war seemed to be at a
standstill, multitudes Of Republicans
blamed the hardness Of procedure upon
President Lincoln, and there was an
immense amount of dissatisfaction with
him on the part of the radicals in the
Republican party, and the radicals
Even up to the Presidential election
year of 1864 the discomfort toward
Lincoln was manifest, so much so that
a National convention of radical Re-
publicans was held in Cleveland, and
John C. Fremont was put in nomina.
tion in the early part of the Presiden-
tial campaign of that year, prior, in.
deed, to the nomination of Lincoln him.
self.
1t is an absolutely clear case that
under the primary methods proposed
now, Lincoln would never have been
nompated by the Republican party. II
is practically certain, also, as Mr.
Lehman says, that if the recall had
been in operation as National propo
sition, President Lincoln would have
been recalled in 1868.
But will this retrospect dampen the
zeal of the advocates of the primary
and recall7 Not at all. They will be
just as keen for it as before, ever
though fully convinced that the apph
cation of these propositions would have
absolutely eliminated Lincoln from the
wartime public life of the United
Stofoe

have always said that when the imme'

were exhausted by colonists from the
East, there would bo reflex move

AN EMBARRASSING TREATY.

The proposal to put sugar on the free

in the general sugar duty was made in

the Cuban sugar planters that they
were unfairly treated, and were EMIT
led to some consideration by the
United States. This claim was granted,
and the concession as stated, was made.
But the eighth article Of that treaty
provides that, "no sugar product of
aUy foreign country shall be admitted
by treaty or convention into the Unit.
ed States. while this convention is in
force, at lower rate of duty than that
provided by the tariff act of the Unit
cd States approved July "a, 1897" 1t
is clear case, therefore, that the pas
sage of the administration tariff bill
in its present form of admitting sugar
from all countries into this country free
of duty, would violate this treaty.
a great uproar was made not long
ago on the claim that California was

with Japan; but California so framed

all that might have been violation

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The liveliest event in the business
line during the week was the advent
and activities Of the railroad advertis
ing men in the early part Of the week.
The men composing the party are boost
ers, indeed, and their expressions Of sat
isfaction and appreciation of what they
found in this city and vicinity were
presented in The Tribune much to the
satisfaction Of the public. 1t is hoped
that by reason of that visit many pre-
sentations will be made in all parts of
the country Of the attractiveness Of
Salt Lake City, of the lake, Of the can
yons, and of the general advantages of
all this region. As summer resort, few
places can equal this place. There is
reason to expect that the advertising
men will make these advantages known
to much greater extent throughout the
United States than they have been
hitherto.
A campaign Is on by the Real Estate
Association for the putting in Of city
lighting plant to furnish energy for
lights for the arc system in the streets.
City Creek is suggested as the location
for this plant Doubtless favorable op-
portunities for the putting In Of such
plant on City Creek could be found,
but the drop of some ninety feet for the
water carried in the Big Cottonwood
conduit as it discharges in Farley g
reservoir has been looked to since the
construction of that conduit as the
place for the installation of such a
plant. Doubtless the city could put in
a sufficient plant at that place for the
purposes in view.
The week has been one of seasonable
weather, with temperature modified by
cloudy afternoons and rain in the hills
and to the north.

duty; but in military way, Cuba is
negIigible; therefore, we proceed to
annul by Congressional law the ex-
press terms Of the convention which
we have with Cuba, and this is being
calmly pursued by those who made
such a tremendous objection to Cali
fornia's legislation.
1t appears. therefore, that the viola"
tion of treaty on the part of the
United States, or of any State in the
Union, depends as to its Objectionable
character upon whether the country
with which tho treaty that is TO be vio-
lated has been entered into is formi~
dable in a military sense or not. The
principle involved cuts no figure, the
whole matter depends upon the mill
tary force and the touchiness Of the
nation affected.
From all of which tho important les
son may be drawn that our most strcn-
nous advocates Of peace among nations
are just as ready as anybody else to
take advantage of g. nation which is
not able to defend itself in 4 fight. In
order to appreciate the force OF this
it is only Necessary to imagine that il
the treaty which VIC have with respect
to sugar from Cuba should have been
in effect with Germany or Japan, ia
see what a uIrferent attitude the ad
minstration would occupy with respect
TO this matter. from that it occupies
with respect to this treaty with Cuba
