It is not likely that he would be able to advance the cause of bi-metallism, but we want to see the friends of silver at the front every-where. The chief of police of St. Louis has been having an interesting time with the gambling fraternity. He deter-mined to stop their business, but they hired lawyers to run the games, and when arrests were made bonds were promptly offered. The chief exercised a right conferred by law to hold twenty-fou- r hours without formal charge. Then the courts were appealed to com-pel him to accept bonds, but this failed. An effort to punish him for acts of op-pression in office also failed and the chief remained master of the field. When the tight had progressed this far the officer changed his tactics and pro-ceeded against the "knights" on the charge of vagrancy. He made this stick, and the gentry are beginning to think that they will have to leave the city or embrace some means of earning an honest living. The example of the the St. Louis chief should stimulate the officers of all other cities to move against the gambling dens. The asser-tion so often made that gambling cannot be suppressed is not only pusillani-mous, it is the shallowest kind of non-sense. The English tories are stirred up oyer the succession to the leadership in the house of commons. Goschen has been talked of, but he does not meet with much support in the party. American! would like to see him placed in the position, for the reason that he SALT LAKE EVENING TIMES. By THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY.

There are 8o,000 members of various farmers' organizations in Pennsylvania, and the politicians are wonderiug where the votes will go in the forth-coming election. Such an army of voters is likely to upset all political cal-culations, but it is not likely that there will be any such stampeding of the agriculturalists in the interests of dem-ocracy as occurred last year. Ax artesian well in South Dakota has distinguished itself by throwing up coal, and the people living iu the vicin-ity are indulging jn the hope that they will iiml beneath their own farms a sup-ply of that necessary article. Discover-ies are often made in a strange manner but this is probablv the iirst time when coal has been found in an effort to se-- j cure water. WORKMEN FROM ABROAD. Major McKinley takes the consistency out of Governor Campbell's charge - that the Finley glass works employ chicily Belgians and that their wages had been reduced by showing that of the 500 workmen only fifty are Belgians and all but five of them are naturalized or have taken out their first papers. He also reveals the fact that their pay ranges from $100 to $300 per month and bus not been reduced. The trouble with Governor Campbell appears to be the same that disturbed the equanimity of the parrot. He talks too much. Omaha Bee. A great many democrats are talking too much for the good of their part' on such subjects as that involved in Governor Campbell's charge concern-ing the FinW glass works. There was a time when the democracy won con- - siderable prestige by its opposition to i what was called "know-nothingism- ." j The party adhering to that ism was supposed to be opposed to foreigners and it was pretty clearly demonstrated that this country would not embrace any such doctrine. Now, the demo-crats continually urge, in their fight against protection, that manufacturing establishments employ men who come from abroad. The democratic papers have made a great cry against the em-ployment of tin-plat- e workers coming from Wales; and wherever the in-creasing prosperity of an American in-dustry has opened avenues of eijaploj'-men- t sufficient to attract foreign work-- j men, the same objection has been heard from the free traders. The "Welsh tin-plat- e workers, the Belgian i glass workers, and all the other skilled ' operatives who come here from abroad J make good American citizens; and there is nothing in the policy of our govern-ment or iu the genius of our institu-tions to warrant the democratic re-monstrances against them. THK ANANIAS ANNEX. The Tribune not only loves to lie, but loves to be convicted of the offense. The Times and the Tribune differ regard-ing the present status of affairs in Utah. This paper has expressed its views, which, by the wa-- , are in harmony with the views of a great many prominent gentile people of this city. It has urged those views straightforwardly, citing the evidence furnished by the situation and deducing the conclusions to which that evidence has led. The Tribune has held differently, but it has been com-pelled to rest its case upon past condi-tions on the theory that no change can occur in the attitude of one class of people toward another. This line of argument has become so palpably un-tenable in the light of current develop-ments that, the paper is driven to des-peration, and resorts to a method it has always used without scruple when driven into close quarters that of deliberate, wilful lying. In order to discredit The Timks it cool-ly asserts that this paper is a pensioner of the mormon church; that j It is a "tithing house annex," drawing j church money as payment for alleged Services and shaping its views to suit the wishes of the purchasers. This charge of the Tribnnz is made in the hope that the old spirit of preju-dice against tho mormons can be aroused against The Times. We have branded the charge as a falsehood, and we again apply the branding iron to it. The manner in which our contem- - porary seeks to wriggle out from the charge of having lied shows that it lied wilfully. To show the cowardly char-acter of the lie we herewith quote the Tribune's pitiful plea: "It (Tdf Times replied by saying its conrse was one 'which makes two blades of grass and two precious checks where there was only one be-fore.' This we accepted as it was written, espec-ially as it accorded with the story that is current concerning the transaction t, that a demand of The Times for $1500 from the church head-quarters to meet a draft was not fully responded to, but that half the amount was sent, with a htiitement that as that paper had not been able to fulfill its burjjuiu to disrupt the liberal party it need expect no more help. The 'two checks where there was but one before' cornea in in the other part of the story, which goes that Mr. Webber, of the big Co-op- ., paid the other $750 needed; and this is further corroborated by the big advertisement of the Z. C. M. I. which ap-peared in The Times that same evening. We took Thb Times' talk about two checks to be a confession of the whole story, and do not see yet what it could have meant if not that. Its assumed indignation doesn't count when church money is begged and received to pay its drafts." Oh, the pusillanimity of it! To say that it took The Times' "talk about two checks to be a confession of the whole storj'!" No man with half an ounce of brains could have read The Times' paragraph referred to without understanding its meaning. There are t a great many people who believe that the policy advocated by The Times would increase the. prosperity of this region and make two blades of grass and two cheeks where there was only one before. If the 'Tribune seriously means to say that it placed such a con-struction as it claims upon The Times it makes an idiot of itself, but every-body knows that it is not an idiot, and everyone will see that in its explanation it brands itself as a wilful liar. The Tribune states that there was a story current that The Times had ap-plie- d to c hurch headquarters for money. It cannot la its hand on a reputable citizen who will father that story. The Btory originated with the Tribune. It was first put forth by the paper in the form of intimations, suggestions and inttendoes. The public took no stock in such contemptibly small slings, and the paper was at last driven to openly charge that The Times was a church pensioner. Being promptly branded as a liar, it takes a coward's refuge be-hind . its own petty paragraphs of the past. If the spirit of Ananias has any par-ticular pre-emine- representative on the earth at the present time, it is the Salt Lake Tribune, a paper that hesi-tates not to resort to the meanest form of lying that can possibly be indulged in and that is always ready to meet truth with brazen falsehood rather than v!lil ir't it And that is the paper which professes to be an oracle on all Utah questions ! That is the paper whose utterances are always to be taken as gospel ! That is the paper that can only le contradicted at the risk of being branded as a traitor to the best interests of Utah ! That is the paper whose sellishly inspired ut-terances are to govern public sentiment throughout the United States ! That is the paper that must be permitted to hold Utah in the hollow of its hand un-til such time as it shall suit its purpose to release it from the journalistic bondage ! SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Nothing' could better how how badly the airressive. canvass of younsj Fassett lias frightened the democrats of New York than the truce which it has been deemed necessary to patch up between Mr. Cleve-land and Governor Hill.

Status of the Indian. San Francisco Chronicle. There can be no well-founde- d dissent from the views of the commissioner. It has long been seen to be a complete unomaly that an Indian, a ward of the government, could go off the reservation, steal a hore or commit a murder, enlist his tribe in his behalf, and thereupon cause a state, of war to ensue. It would be quite as reasonable to concede bel-ligerent rights to tiie inmates of an alms-house or a penitentiary as to a tribe of In-dians who occupy what are known as the tribal relations toward the L'uited States. ' Part of the Argument. Philadelphia Press. "The general business depression has sent down prices," remarks a fiee trade contem-porary. The same eyes that discovered an immediate increase in prices last year as the result of the McKinley bill now discover "a general business depression" in the face of one of the most prosperous years known in the history of the country. Facts are no part of the free trade argument. - - !L .'j Something Xike fSata-'- - - , - - Cleveland Leader. ' When Mills of Texas casl his eye over the smiling valleys of Ohio and beheld nothing' but peace and plenty and Temembcred that he was to preach the ruinous doctrine of free trade to such communities he must have felt something as Satan did when he first caught a glimpse of the garden of Eden. IKrCK.S OF CANNED GOODS. A year ago the free traders were tell-ing us of many direful results that would flow from the McKinley tariff law. Above all, the increased tariff on tin-plat- e was declared to be fraught with robbery and ruin for the oor people of the country. The working-man'- s dinner bucket was to be in-creased in price enorniouslj"; and, chief among the infamous results of the law, the price of canned goods was to be ad-vanced to a point that would be heavily burdensome to the consumer. It was explained that the cost of tin entered into the cost of the goods, and it was urged that the scandalous advance in the price of that article would make canned goods an expensive luxury. The orators and organs, to be sure, did not trouble themselves about the mathemat-ical features of the problem. They did not enter into details to show how much tin was used in a fruit can, nor how much a possible temporary ad-vance of 1 or 2 cents a pound iu the price of tin would increase the cost of the can. They simply raised their hands in pious horror and assured their auditors and readers that the mailed hand of the tariff would fall with crush-ing weight upon the consumers of canned goods. The free traders' predictions of last year have not been borne out by devel-opments in aniline; but it is particu-- i larly interesting to observe what the figures show in reference to this partic-ular branch of the subject. Every work- - J ingman knows that his dinner pail costs no more than it did last year, and every householder is aware that; his canned goods have not been increased in price; but it is probable that very few realize just what has occurred in the domain of prices. The Boston Journal has in-vestigated the matter and gives the fol-lowing comparison of prices of canned goods in the stores of that city. im ism.

Canned goods, as influenced by the tariff on tin-plat- was one of their strongest cards, but it has been taken by the practical trump of cold facts. The manufacture of American tin-plat- e goes right on and increases rapidly in spile of the free traders' bitter opposition to the industry, and there is no instance in which the cost of canned provisions has been increased to the consumer hy reason of the law that has made this great industry possible in this country, and under which it is being opened up.
