Show Chas. F. Ceisp, speaker of the hovsa of representatives of the United States fas yeiterday appointed senator from Georgia, vice A. H. Colquitt deceased. There is a lesson in this young man's rapid rise. The son of an obscure and poor actor, Crisp toiled on for many years, entered the law and at once sprang into fame and fortune, both. To be elected speaker of the lower house of congress is in itself a wonderful wonder-ful stride from such a stand, to have that surpassed by the senate, so soon, is etill more wonderful. But we say it with pride, this brave true young Georgian is equal to and worthy the exalted station. Governor Northern has made no mistake in this thing and the appointment means future election, elec-tion, for more terms than one. Since the above was put in type Mr. Criep has declined the appointment on the ground of his duty to the party which demands that he .hold the speakership at present. It is singular that any one can be found in the west to advoc ate the destruction des-truction of the money functions of si 1 ver, or even reducing it to a subsidiary relation to gold. Yet bo it is. .Here in Utah where it would seem ihere should be but one sentiment on the question there are found many men who endorse the late yeto. We confess con-fess that our patriotism does not take so lofty a flight. We propose that gov- lernment distribute some of the advantages ad-vantages to the wide west instead of banking them all up in the east and to the bankers of New York especially. Let us have a club of the sage brush democracy organized at once. We understand un-derstand that next week a decided move will be ina.ie. The great Van Patton murder trial just closed haB engaged en-gaged the leading local democratic lawyers or it would have been done this week. Suppose now that the United States, Mexico, Brazil and the Argentine Republic Re-public came together and counselled on the silver question and reached a common com-mon conclusion, how long, think you would it be before silver would be re-monetized? re-monetized? The southern democrats will no doubt feel a little wolfish over the veto of the seigniorage bill, but like us western democrats they will have to stand it. The pill is bitter, gentlemen, gentle-men, gulp it down, for down it must go. A great many people in this neigh- DOrnooa will regret the misfortune which has overtaken Mr. John Morgan proprietor of the hotel in Salt Lake of that name. The property is about to pass out of his Lands, it seems. The veto of the Eeigniorage bill wa3 the topic here today. The last hope for silver during this administration may as well be given out. Tee Standard is proud over the fact that its prediction with Tegard to the late yeto has been verified. Smart paper pa-per that. The Tribune is not a very fervid woman'a rights man, judging from the tone of its leader of yesterday morning. morn-ing. Penxoyee of Oregon is rather strong in his denunciation of the president for the veto of the seigniorage bill. Tennyson on Spring. We have the word of Alfred Tennyson Tenny-son for it that in the spring the young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. It is singular that the great laureate omitted to mention the fact that it is in the spring that a considerable consider-able portion of the human race turn to taking Hood's .sarsaDarilla. Probably nothing but the difficulty of finding a good rhyme for that invaluable remedy deterred him. Certain it is that the old-time domestic remedies are generally gener-ally discarded in favor of the standard blood purifier, Hood's Sarsaparilla, which has attained the greatest popularity popu-larity all over the country as the favorite favor-ite Spring Medicine. It purifies the blood and gives nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength. |
