Some of us. wc fenr, can never be I truly patriotic, as wo are not passlon- atcly fond of noise. HEl DId you, as you perspired yesterday, T think lovingly of the chilly Fourth of H1 July you complained of? B Hj Our weather yesterday was the Ideal Fourth o July kind, or tho dealers In H! cold drinks were very much mistaken. - X Did the Russians and' Japanese full H. to note that yesterday was the Fourth of July and neglect to have-a lot of explosions? It is expected that the St. Louis con--ventlon will endorse about everything' Republicans have said about the Knn Hj sas City platform. Delegate Bamberger thinks his party HJ: should, secure a set of correct prin- H: clples, but how can it adopt them and remain Democratic? ' B, Unfortunately the youlh who awak- H, ened you early yesterday morning with H' the explosion of a bomb was, not H) among those injured. B; When Mr. Bryan looks over tho con- Hj' vention and sees so many in it who do H: not think he is Infallible, how can he Hj believe that it Is a Democratic body? Hj Those Interested in resorts honestly Hj, feel that the ydung fellows should be allowed on. the Fourth to make all the Bj noise necessary to drive people out of Hj town! You may think that' young roisterers Hj should not be allowed to keep people H; awake with Explosions, but In what more effective way could they show their sjnartness? If some reliable St. Louis fortune H! toller should 'give the Utah delegates H; the name of the man who is to be nom- Hl inatcd, they would know which candi- H1 date they are for. H: In the Democratic National com- H mltlce yesterday the Hearst men de- B' featcd the opposition ona test vote, H' and Utah, through the efforts of the H Hon. Dave Dunbar, had a share in the H( glorious victory. v That was a pitiable disaster to the Hf Danish steamer Norge off the northwest Hi coact of Scotland. But the lists of the H saved are gratlfylngly swelled as boat Hii after boat reports in ports of that rc- H' gion. The first telegrams gave the Hj, Kived as numbering only twenty-seven, Hj out of a total list of over seven hun- dred; but later accounts tell of the sav-H- Ing of more than two hundred and fifty, with the prospect of yet more hav-" B1 in?, been -picked up. But' at best, tbls- Hi disaster w'lll take Us place, on the H record "as. one of the great horrors of H the sex H And now comes Gen. Oku, speaking j for Japan, and not on,v denies that the E: Japanese have been guilty of slaying V the wounded, mutilating the dead, or of B any practices-contrary to the rules of Hj civilized, .warfare; but he in turn K charges all, those practices upon the- l Russians, and gives revolting -cases of such atrocities committed upon Jnpa M ueee, to such an extent that he feels U that he is not fighting a civilized army. And ywe bcllev6 that the civilized world B would be much more inclined to accept i Gen. Oku's word on this matter than H Gen. Kuropatkln's. Hi The practical consent of . nations to arbitration Is not winning Its way rap H; Idly. And for the United States to sub- mlt any material matter to European H arbitration (and no other worth con- fldorlng Is available) would bo to give B, awaj' the case in advance. "What, for Hi Instance, could the United States expect j in an arbitration, on any case involv- ing the Monroe doctrine? "But as among B' themselves, the European nations could B very well afford to agree extensively to H: arbitrate their differences, Accordingly, H it will be no surprise to-xhear that Hol- H hind and Denmark have concluded a H treaty of arbitration by which they agree to submit- to The Hague court all V differences, without exception, which K are not settled by the ordinary chan- H nels of diplomacy. The only rcscrva- B tlon is that covered by clause 1C of the Hj convention, which excludes cases where 1 the vital interests or the honor of cither K rarty are involved. This Is the first in- H' stance in which two states have made H. a general treaty of arbitration, and a supplementary clause leaves It open to other signatory powers to Join on a similar footing. The treaty now awaits ratification by tho states-general. THE POLITICAL GOSSIP. O'f all tho dilemmas of all the poli ticians In the country, that of the Popu lists, now holding an alleged National convention in Springfield, Illinois, is the most amusing. Absolutely Impotent now, whereas they have for the last two quadrennial periods dictated both platform and candidate to a great par ty, their plight and bewilderment are comical. The delegates In attendance recognize to the full tho ridiculousness of their "position, and bewail the error through ' which their convention was called before that of tho Democrats. Four years ago thoy had their con vention first, at Sioux Falls; and they not only nominated the candidate for the coming Democratic convention, but laid down the platform for that body, both of which the Democrats were bound to accept It Is possible that those who called this Populist conven tion to meet ahead of tho Democratic convention, had an Idea that they could repeat their performance of four years ago. If they had. they havo had a rude awakenlng from their silly dream, and they exhibit themselveS'as a laughing-stock for the public. "Whenever a party gets to that position, it might as well go out of business. In the meantime, the Democrats are doing the real work for the Populists, and compelling the latter to stand by and look on without any power to take part. The gossip, the pulling and haul ing, the sec-saw, first Parker up, and then Parker down; Gorman day and Cleveland djy, with Bryan standing ready with his stuffed club to hit whichever head comes up, with equal vigor and entire Impartiality It all makes an Interesting spectacle. Many preliminary battles will be fought out today and tonight, and many plays for advantage will be made. ,The fight for delegates Is on, with contests from many States, that claim that the dele gates accredited hold their credentials by force and fraud, and that the legal representatives of the Democratic masses are the contestants. The latter will necessarily lose In most cases, for the primary reason that the votes of the fraudulent delegates are necessary to the schemes of the bosses, and for the further reason that a convention that had been purified of fraudulent delegates would not be a right Demo cratic convention. OPPOSITION TO THE ANT. ' X "We have spoken hitherto of the find ing of an ant in Guatemala which 19 sure death toThe cotton boll weevil, and which keeps the cotton fields of i Its na tive region free from the weevil. Agents of the United States Depart ment 'of Agriculture, who made the find of this ant and the discovery of its beneficial work on the boll weevil, have been preparing to Import a lot of those ants Into Texas In order to see whether they will not also save the cot ton fields there by exterminating the weevils. But a Texas planter has announced his determination to enjoin the Intro duction of this ant. He doesn't know about ts properties, but judges that If It cap kill the boll weevil it must have powerful nippers, and If It has, It will bite the bare feet of the cotton-plcikers, and prevent them doing their work. It is his Idea that it won't do any good to raise big fields of cotton If they can't get It picked they might as well let the cotton be ruined by the bolt weevil as to have a good crop, and not get It picked because the ants drive the pick ers out of the field. And yet, no doubt he will .be unsuccessful In his opposi tion to the lnbrlnglng df the ant, for his fellow-planters will not be likely to agree with his views, while the agents of the Department of Agriculture are so many and so active, that they are pretty certain to get their way, and bring In those ants in spite of any and all opposition. Even at the awful prospect of having the cotton-pickers wear shoes and trousers, tho effort to exterminate the boll weevil beetle will certainly be pushed. That order of President Harrlman for sixty thousand tons of steel rails for his roads, ought to have a stimulating tone on the Iron and steel market,' One sixth of this Is for use on the Union Pacific, one-third on the Texas Cen tral, one-sixth on the Oregon Short Line, and one-third for the Southern Pacific And besides all this, the rails for the San Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad must also be furnished. The handling and placing of all this steel will be a good, lively business, which will not only add materially to the solidity of the railway tracks, but will give employment to many persons in doing the work. The unfair methods taken In Euro pean countries to disparage goods of American manufacture are Illustrated by an instance reported to the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor by C. J. King, Consular Agent at Lille, France. He reports that in shoe stores cardboard signs are displayed on shoes shown, stating that they are of American man ufacture, and 'warning the purchasers that they ought not to buy them, be cause the merchant selling cannot guar antee the Amerlcau-made shoe. On de manding an explanation, the' Consular Agent was Informed that the shoes are faulty, let in water, and that in case of dissatisfaction and returns, the American sellers will not make good. At the same time, in tho same store, a shoe Imitating the American shoe (which Is the most shapely and flt- tractlvo shoe offcrod In tho market) lo handed the customer and recommended for his purchase. This probably Indi cates a hold-up policy against the American shoemakers; but In so far as It represents genuine business, the American exporters ought to meet the requirements of the trade. ' ' THE UTAH POSTMASTERS. "What will really be tho first educa tional meeting of the Utah postmasters Is to be held In Provo on the 20th of this month. It Is true that the first meeting was held in this city on April 10th last, and the organization was per fected at that time. But there was nothing else done than the work of organizing and providing for future meetings. The real work of the as sociation is yet ahead of it, That work Is primarily one of edu cation, training, and effort to obtain better facilities and such changes in the laws and regulations as expeiionco may suggest to be desirable and In the public Interest. Postmasters are changed from time to time, and new men take the places of tho old; and In a num ber of tho minor offices questions come up that puzzle the postmasters whose range of mall-handling Is not wide; and In all offices there may be questions that the united acumen of tho body of postmasters as a whole can easily an swer, but that any one may be puz zled over. For the settlement of prob lems and questions of every-day ad ministration, then, nothing Is so good a school as these postmasters' meet ings. And there are changes In rules that would much expedite business while in no wise Iinnprlling the effi ciency of the service. For all such mat ters, tho united action of the post masters Is the best lever to work the changes. At the coming convention, It Is ex pected that the president and tho secretary-treasurer of the National As sociation of Postmasters will be pres ent. Their counsel and suggestions will undoubtedly be of much value. There will also be papers by postmasters of the State on subjects related to the postal service, explaining existing reg ulations and conditions and noting where changes would be advantageous. Discussion on these papers, and also on any point which may be raised by any member of the association, will be welcomed, and It Is expected that no one will hold back1 for any cause, but that all will come to the front and do whatever they can to enliven the pro ceedings. It ought to be both a pleas ant and a profitable meeting, and The Tribune's best wishes go out to the postmasters In this praiseworthy ef fort of theirs. THE USUAL IMPOSTURE. An Importance which Is wholly un warranted has been puffed by the Dem ocratic and mugwump press Into some remarks about Independence for the Philippines, which have been made by the visiting Filipinos now In this coun try. These comprise a party of edu cated men, not representing nor claim ing to represent their countrymen In any capacity, but who are here simply for observation, and to note at first hand the workings of republican Insti tutions. In various places they liavj been heartily welcomed and entertained, and they have been given every oppor tunity to see what they desired, and to learn just how the various forms' of municipal, district, county, State and National Governments are conducted In this country. Among other places they have visited Rochester, New York, and w"bre there the guests of General Otis, whom they knew and' advised with when he was Governor of the nrchlpelaso. A care ful report of their Ideas and sentiments was made by the Democrat and Chron icle of Rochester, in which they "ex pressed themselves as much gratified with the treatment accorded their coun trymen by the United States Govern ment. Each and all spoke In highly complimentary terms of the adminis tration of General Otis during the two years he was In the Islands. Through out the remarks of the Filipinos there ran the thought that lome lime, after they had grown strong enough for self government, It would be accorded them. They recognized that, as far as self govornment Is concerned! they (their people) arc yetiis children." - That Is a wholly different thing from the rampant and dictatorial things they are tricked Into saying, or fals'ely reported as Baying, in the Pemocratlc newspapers. It is reasonable and prob able to say that these are their senti ments, and It Is evident. that the howl for immec'late Independence for the Philippines comes not from this parry of visitors, but is the same old antl-lm-perlal howl, masquerading fraudulent ly under the pretense that It comes from another source. Judging by the reported order from the Japanese Government to a New York firm for ten thousand horses, har dy and of the smallest efficient size, the range horses of Utah and surround ing States ought to be Just the sort of animals the Japanese want, further particulars of this Japanese order for horses will be awaited with much In terest In all this region, for the supply of hardy horses of a comparatively small size Is aood general description of horses that are both numerous and to spare throughout all this mountain region. And there can not be the slightest question of the power and en durance of the native animals. Thus far, but little profitable use has been found for those range horses; but this opening looks like a good one; and if the Japs would try ten thousand of them, they would be pretty sure to want ten thousand more. 1 Mairvdore Y!ia I Wmh G(afe IFArfcs ... !It is conceded tho ncme of merchandising when opportunity permits certain seasonable good to become strong bargains S $y, The shopping public appreciates in the fullest measure specials of this kind.

One danger of the hot weather that Is now upon us Is that people will over heat themselves in an eiTort to keep cool. The endeavor itself defeats its own aim. The best way to keep cool In body Is to keep cool In mind. A quiet mind is a better warm weather comfort than a double-action, three-speed electric fan, or than a gallon of cold drinks. And these same cold drinks, by the way, while a warm weather benefit to the seller, to the doctor and to the under taker, are little real or lostlng comfort to the overheated drinker. "Go slow" is a pretty good rule for all times, but It Is almost Imperative when Old Sol fixes his brassy eye di rectly upon us. The wiye man surren ders enough of his Americanism for "hustle" haa become synonymous with America to be able to take life In moderation.
