Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. A RICH CANDIDATE? The Republican papers are making a vast deal of fun of Bryan and Towne and Ilearst and Cleveland all intimately associated with the idea of the presidency on the ground that these men are supposed to be either mod They are erately or enormously wealthy. sarcastically called the apostles of poverty and their fortunes and incomes are mag nified to make the irony more pronounced. What would you? Shall any Democrat to whom fortune has come in an honorable way, give bis money to the Republicans in order that he and his fellow citizens may be more at the mercy of the trusts in politics and business life? While we do not believe that as a rule rich men make as good public servants as poor men, yet there are circumstances under which the one possessing wealth may be of greater service to the state and the Given party than one harassed by poverty. equal patriotism, equal devotion, equal unselfishness, equal sympathy with the needs of struggling humanity and the rich man has many opportunities which are denied to him of the vacant bank account. The real trouble is to possess these riches and at the same time The corto hold these other qualifications. rect criticism, if any, therefore, would be that Grover Cleveland or William R. Hearst or Charles A. Towne or William J. Bryan is not a real representative of Democracy, for the reason that he is out of sympathy with the toiling mass on account of his possession of fortune or for some other reason. And in some of the cases named this criticism could not apply. If Bryan were to grow to the topmost heights of fortune he would still be the same unaffected American citizen, devoted to the interests of the people. If Charles A. Towne were to possess the riches of Rockefeller, he would be the same cheerful giver, the same generous open-heartglorious exponent of the equal rights of is now. If William men as Towne to inherit all the money R. Hearst were his mother possesses, he would probably start more newspapers to advocate the rights of the many against the aggression of the few. So far as Grover Cleveland is concerned he is quite as much a man of the people as he was during his first term as president during which he was unquestionably a poor man. The Eastern Republicans liked him then and also during his second term. Why not like him now? The stories of the vast wealth of these men are great exaggerations. Mr. Hearst is probably heir to his mothers millions but he is only moderately wealthy in his own right. Mr. Cleveland has what Ward McAllister was wont to call only enough for respectable poverty two or three millions or so. Bryans fortune is a bare competency and bis annual income is divided between the building up of his paper, the establishment of a home farm and certain great purposes which he holds sacredly in mind. Towne's wealth is but modest and is largely the result of the application of his own brilliant talents without which his fortune would fall; for he grinds no drop of sweat from the faces of the poor. It is not likely that the Democratic con vention will nominate a very rich man. But if it does Democrats need not get frightened and run away. If he were only rich enough, Democrats might stay at home in the calm assurance that Republicans would fall over each other to vote for him. And the first to kneel at his feet would be those who now indulge in cheap sarcasm. ed APRIL lflOi 1, OPERA GRAND THE SOUTH MUST APPEAR. UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRIDAY HOUSE GRAND JOS. CLARK.

As if to give impressiveness to the need for a broader view in this country, comes the special announcement in the Salt Lake Herald that Senator Gorman positively declines to be a candidate for the nomination to the presidency. If this be true it is unfortunate. The senator is one of the best equipped men in the United States for the high duties of chief executive. We do not think that his reason is good when he says that the North and the East are not prepared for such a candidacy as his would be. It may be and doubtless is too early for Senator Bailey; but Senator Gorman has been long in public life and has been so much identified with the public interest so much associated with Northern and Eastern men as that nothing more than a bare geographical line could be asserted against him. We will continue to trust that this report is not founded on fact until thoroughly authenticated from the senator himself. clean-cu- m. natural, artlatlc story of quaint peo- life among the every-da- y m. ple of Southern Indiana.

Life now comes back with the fulfillment of its prophecy by showing that in Springfield, Ohio, at the Shaffer school there came near being a lynching with white boys playing the lynching game and a negro boy the victim. The only trouble with Lifes prophecy is that it predicted such an amusement for the school boys in the South, and it took place in highly religious northern Ohio.
