Salt Lake City M standpoint of what he believed would result in H the higher enlightenment and the warmer love H of country of the American people. H There has been a little of that at times in the B latev campaign, but not very often. It has been H made up mostly of personal appeals to the pas- H sions and prejudices of men. There has been a H struggle with nearly all of the candidates to show M that the masses of the people were being op- H pressed, that the workers in the land were not re- H cervine Justice, and this has descended into vi tup.. and petty personalities unbecoming .a gre mpaign of a great people looking toward M the light, wanting something to fill their hearts, H to strengthen their hopes, and with hopes H strengthened, their patriotism intensified. H There has been a constant assailing of the H laws or the way the laws are being executed, a H constant effort being made by nearly all the can- H didates to prove that in some way the people H were being oppressed, were not receiving a fair H return for their toil. There has been material spoken at night to keep blatherskites talking all H the next day, and very little attention paid to de- H scribing what this republic would be if every man H was governed by law, every man's sense of jus- H tice was always appealed to, and what a hundred H million people of free men could accomplish if H they would all work together and if their motto H was always to be: "Our country when right, but M right or wrong, our country." The worst feature of American, civilization is the growing disrespect for necessary laws, but this fact has hardly been dwelt upon. We think it is honest to say that there has not been one illuminating discussion on the question of the cur rency, which governs all other questions. We do not think the tariff has been clearly explained from the standpoint of true business and for the welfare of the whole people. We do not think that the power of money has been properly dis cussed to show to the people that money is tho real power in this country, and that it cannot be done away with by confiscation, that while it is subject to law, while the laws ought to be most binding, but careful in their dealings with money and with the men who control great industries, still that power must be recognized, because the mass of the people who have not homes and de pend upon their daily wages for support, can only look for that support through the great corpora tions that swing the public business in this coun try. The most logical talker of them all was Debs. The trouble with him, though, was that the very foundation from which he talked was a false one. While he tried to picture what would be when everything was arranged on his basis, he had not the perception to see that were the ex periment tried, instead of leading up, it would lead down to anarchy, and that what he was real ly offering was a premium for incompetency and laziness. We are glad the election is over, and we have faith enough to believe that the verdict of the people was the right one, that God is still watching, and that as He has steered this re public through all the breakers of the past, His hand is still at the helm, and that the wrongs which the people and the nation are suffering will, one by one, be righted, until at last the highest ideal of self-government will be obtained on our soil, and from us will spread over all the earth until the right shall triumph everywhere, and the chains which are now upon men's hearts will all be broken, and with a higher intelligence there will be more patriotism, with mors patriot ism there will be a stronger sense of justice, that progress is at last the thing to be looked for, and I Keiser Cravats fFor Fall Satin Combined with Silk Soil or two-tone Stripes Four-in-lmwtls folded nearly straight 1 Don't Stretch Keiser-Barathea, all-silk, in about fifty plain colors Fabrics Specially "Sloven H Gr.ud Prize St. Louis World's Fair IJyfKjMfl Hj for Quality, Workmanship and Stylo &&bd B YORK Hj Bear this label I Richardson & Adams Co., 172 south Main street HJhfcBPJ .MMMM. , that the forward march of the world, which be gan when our fathers framed our form of govern ment, is to go on with accelerated step and stead- -ily increasing rhosts filling the ranks, until a bet-'1 ter world will be given to a better mankind. Doctor Gilman IN the nation's hall of fame for this year, in a conspicuous niche, there should be a statue of Dr. Daniel Hoyt Gilman. It is not possible yet to estimate what his Services were in life to edu cation in the United States. He was the first president of the California University. When he assumed the duties, Cali fornia was in the lowest stage that she ever reached. The grangers had control, and while there were a thousand things that they did not know anything about, there was nothing that they did not meddle with. One prominent, big oted, ignorant granger took a dislike to Dr. Gil man. He did not like his methods, he knew no mere about university work than Nicodemus did of the second birth, but he always stod in Dr. Giliran's way, until finally there came an offer to the doctor to take charge of Johns Hopkins Uni versity In Baltimore, and he accepted it. It was an intellectual loss to California almost equal to tl:-3 financial loss of the great earthquake. But he went to Johns Hopkins and inaugurated a work there which was more to the colleges and universities in the country than the work of any other man. About that time the very high est of them had been little more than colleges. The object of Johns Hopkins was to have thor ough scholarship, and the greater universities of the country, like Harvard and Yale and Prince ton, are only catching up now with Johns Hop kins. The master mind of Dr. Gilman was over it all, and he almost at once established a stand ard for all other schools In this country to strive toward. ' The man who made possible Johns Hopkins University was a grocer, and later a railroad man, in Baltimore. He gave $4,500,000 worth of properly in 1873 for a hospital; he presented to the city of Baltimore a public park, and he also gave $3,500,000 to found an institution devoted to j I An Unparalelled j Dress Goods Bargain A Sale of Dress Goods which of Extra ordinary Value Giving, is the Premier Event of the Season.
