Show The Bubiect of our participating tn the proposed financial conference soon to take place is variously looked at by the friends of silver. Indeed we can Bee no good reason to refuse. If the action of the conference is not such as we can consistently approve, there is the resource of independent action always al-ways open to us. We fear, with Senator Sena-tor Stewart, that tbe gold bug influence influ-ence in Europe, is still too strong for ub, but we believe in doing all we can to influence favorable action in Europe, but if the worst comes, we can always act independently on this side. If that conference proves to be a foilure we caii call the other silver nations to join us ucd remonetize any day, and that is the thing to do. We would take the far e ?t. South America and Mexico vrit. na and that would force Europe to h. '..1 another conference at once, to dete nine how she could best get into ir' Itu us. Tr ih il vrd social at the ward peetir, iThursday afternoon and ' , "" ' "imm limn-in n miii iu m, ii. in ,ii, iiui m .1 .in wmn, mmmm mmmma night was unique in its way. It was the first of what we understand is to be a series ot parties, including all the residents of the ward without regard to religion, politics or eocial rank. They are held for the one laudable purpose to bring all manner and classes of people together, to make them better bet-ter acquainted to the end that the good people may operate together for good purposes. This is as it should be. In such service no creed and no politics vill operate to invite or exclude people. peo-ple. The attendance of the president of the Stake and his higher officers is an earnest of the heartiness with which he approves of the plan. There were people of all shades ot religious opinions present and a general good time was had. mm wmm , Mr. Mahtin will be a little careful in the future aB to how be attempts to beat the presidential veto, especially when it vetos an impudent attempt to foist a rebel bushwhacker on to the pension roll. No-honest rebel would apply ap-ply and a dishonest one should certainly cer-tainly not recfive fin? of our dear Uncle's cash. We served four years in the eouthern army, but were never that sort of a rebel. We know lots of the dear old boys whom we would be glad to see pensioned, but they were never bushwhackers or robbers, Sometime our good old Uncle will get up to where be will be for giving enoueh to see the old soldiers of the south pensioned, but when he gets there, there will be few of the great grand children of tbe old fellows left and it will amount to nothing. The Michigan democrats are earnestly earn-estly devoted to the doctrine of free coinage at 16 to 1. That's orthodox democracy and it is wide of Cleveland's policy. Tbe western democracy can never again be befooled into support ing a goldbug or into endorsing any equivocal declaration upon the subject of bimetallism. The attitude assumed ; by our Michigan brethren is very manly and outspoken and it means business. Only a little longer and the lines will be drawn and the democracy returned to the old lines in dead earnest. It seems that the Third precinct in Salt Lake was lost in the shuffle in the supreme court, and tbe Tribune and some republican beneficiaries are supremely miserable in consequence. We have no tears to shed anent the disaster. It is true they can fall back upon the good book and the consolations consola-tions to be found there, and that is about all that lies within their grasp. We recommend the Tribune to buy a cheap bible at once and try what relief re-lief it may find there. It is a terrible thinz to be thus thrown upon such re-! sources, when it is so well known how inadequate they are bound to be. We have not the slightest desire to cnrtatl the Standard's privileges. It may detend whom it may, champion whom it may, and we will have neyer a word to say against it. But for all 1 that, the church must keep its hand oS politics. 17 remains to be seen if the republi-, can convention can frame a constitution constitu-tion which the people of Utah, much as they desire statehood, will ratify. There are many who do not believe it , can do it. J |
