Show Mr. Hauvsy's article in the Forum on the silver questioa is very strong, but it is rough and jerkey. It is the sort of writing, however, which catches the common votes, but the common voter is not likely to see a great deal of it, from the fact that it is contained In a book which is not circulated among the masses. Mr. Haryty is very earnest in this eilver campaign and perhaps is about as disinterested as are most of men. The Alta club ot Salt Lake refused Colonel Trumbo admiesion on the ground that the colonel could not enter the San Francisco clubs. The other day Colonel Trumbo found several Alta club men in Frisco and entertained them sumptuously at several of the swell clubs of that city. Does this hang up the Aha people's objections? If not, why not? Anyhow, what elieet will all this be likely to have on the colonel's senatorial aspirations? The cause of the Colima disaster has at last been determined to have been top-loading. To what can we at tribute the silver disaster? Was that brought about by top-heavy ability, or was it not simply a proposition to contract con-tract the currency so that the money holders would find their stores doubled? We have some silver advocates' in Utah who rather regard gold as the better nioney""of the two, and they are top-heavy. One trembles to think bow near the British came to capturing a ship load of war material. They evacuated Cor-into Cor-into on May 5th, and on May 16th a veBsel loaded with military storeB landed there which would have been fair game for the blockaders. The luck of the thing was all with the Nicaraguans that time. They are now ready to fiebt the British empire. There is no danger of a republican congress passing a free silver bill, so the president will not have to walk from Wood ley to veto it. The fact is Mr. Cleveland is a gold bug. It is a pity, but he is only one man, while the republican congress is composed of manv men, and unfortunately all of these are men of money, and, per consequence, con-sequence, men of influence. The republicans of Utah are very sick of hearing of the advance of wages by the great manufacturing enterprises enter-prises of the country. Thev mortally hate to credit the Wilson tariff bill and its workings with the advance, and besides, be-sides, .they really do not like to hear that the laborers of the land are getting get-ting a bit of relief at last. These Utah republicans are a queer lot, anyhow. Gov. Altgeld pitches into the eu-preme eu-preme court savagely for its late decision de-cision in the income tax cases. He says we have now a government by injunction in-junction and it is in the power of the rich. Trial by juiy has been wiped out and the will of the plutocrats is the Bupreme law of the land. The governor gov-ernor is severe, but nearly right. Another San Francisco murder mystery in which a young woman is brutally killed.is the report brought by the telegraph. This time a state senator sena-tor who is dyirg, is the other party. San Francisce ib getting to be fast, almost al-most as much bo as Philadelphia. If Japan wants Hawaii she is heartily heart-ily welcome, so far as we care. Why don't Claus Spreckles and his harmonious har-monious boys buy it? They could corner the sugar market then and do no bad thing lor the people. Teumbo is causing a racket in republican repub-lican ranks. They don't like him, but they are afraid to disoblige him, but more particularly his friends. The colonel is likely to become dangerous to the slate makers. They complain of the great heat of the season at the east. Fires and heavy flannels are in demand in favored fav-ored Utah. New York, Louisville and Savannah all complain of the heat. The Argentine papers want a war with Chili. Let 'em fight. Who cares? |
