SHERMAN ON DEAD ISSULS.
Senator Sherman, in a recent speech
in Ohio that was meant as ar opening of
the Fall campaign, made a statement
that is both interesting and significant as
showing the tendency Of Republican
thought aud probable Republican policy.
The Senator's speech is therefore ex.
tremely discouraging. 1t is q declara-
ton that the late enemies Of the Govern.
ment "have been restored to power, and
hope practically to reverse all the results
OF the war" Such an assertion N
with an i'll grace, remarks Harper's
Weekly, from . party leader whose party
in Virginia has just nominated for the
Governorship Of the State n Of the very
rebel leaders whom he describes. There
is no more reason to question the honor
able acquiescence in the results of the
war of Gen. Johnston, or of Senator
Hampton, or Of Secretary Lamar, than
there was for Washington to doubt the
loyalty to the Constitution Of Patrick
Henry, or Edmund Randolph, or Col.
John Lamb, all of whom had s~trenuously
opposed its adoption. Mr.. Randolph
was one of the three members of the
Constitutional Convention who refused
to sign his name to the Constitution.
But Washington made him Attorney
General. Patrick Henry led the Vir-
ginia opposition to the adoption of the
Constitution. But Washington offered
him the Secretaryship Of State when
Jefferson resigned. And although Col
John Lamb, in New York, was so con.
spicuously opposed to the Constitution
that his house was mobbed, Washington
made him the first Collector OF the Port.
Of course he satisfied himself that how.
ever hostile all these men had been to the
Constitution, they were then faithful.
How is it now? The war was begun by
the Southern leaders, under the plea OF
State sovereignty, to secur slavery. 1t
ended in an unconditional surrender OF
the armies Of secession, and in the adop-
tion of three amendments to the Consti.
tuition, one prohibiting slavery for
ever, one making all native.born oil
naturalized persons citizens, and one
prohibiting the a~bridgement by any State
Of the right Of citizens to vote, On &C,
count of race. color, or previous condi
tion OF servitude. Senator Sherman says
that the Southern leaders propose te
reverse these results. But certainly no
body in any part of the country proposes
practically to enforce the old theory Of
State sovereignty, or to restore slavery
the abolition Of which was the great re
suit of the war, while wrongs upon ths
suffrage in some parts of the Southern
States, like other wrongs upon it il
Northern States, are either not remedi
able by national legislation, or the Re
publican party has proved its inability
to deal with them. If the National Gov
eminent can redress the wrongs of the
suffrage in the Southern States, why
have they not been redressed during til,
long Republican ascendency, or in wha
way would the party redress them should
it return to power?

NEW YORK, Sept. 1880 A. M.-The
prospects are that the Puritan and Gsnests
will be able to have to-day the initial race
for the American cup. The course is quite
favorable. The Signal Office at Sandy
Hook reports at this hour q 12-knot breeze

continuing throughout the day.

The feet behind the racers extend from

to lie to the outside of the Narrows until
the racers and attendant feet had passed

Genesta sails seem to catch more of the
favoring breeze, but Puritan keeps ahead
NEW YORK, Sept. a. At 1907 the Puri-
tan was on port tack and led the Genesta
by nearly q mile. The Genesta at the time
was lacking to port also. At 1922 the
Genesta went about, the Puritan continu-

A Spirited Prize Plight.

DALLAS, Tex. Sept. 14.-Much was x
pected Of the prize fight between McGregor,
who is known as st. Joe, the Kid of Fort

alias McGrsw, OF California, that came of
to-day. Both men appeared in excellent
condition. McGregor ia 1877 and Black

pugilists advanced toward each other
amidst loud cheers. In round first Black
led out with his right at McGregor's head.
but was cleverly lodged. The Kid Tailed
several heavy body blows on Black, and
the latter responded by vainly endeavor,
ing to catch McGregor in the neck or face.
McGregor got in q neat blow on Black
nose, and the round closed with the
first blood claimed for the Kid. In
round two McGregor forced the fighting,
and after considerable sparring planted q
terrific blow on Blacks jaw, which infuri-
ated the Californian. who answered by
sending q tremendous Highlander against
the Kids forehead, knocking him down
his full length. MeGregor recovered, and
Rugged Black 80 as to avoid further pun

the ground. In round three McGregor
was cautious. and Black showed moro
aggression. Both men received numerous
body blows, the Kid displaying merit and
sdroitness in lodging BLACK. In the
fourth round McGregor led off on Blacks
ribs, which he followed up until Black
clinched. and the round closed with the
Kid on top. In round five both men came
up with sickly smiles, and showing
their punishment plainly. McGregor was
still good for q couple OF rounds, and he
forced fighting by repeatedly punching
Blacks ribs in on alarming fashion. The
Californian fought gsmely, and tried hard
to get another good blow in ON McGregor's
face. Suddenly the Kid, with 9 swinging
upper cut, caught Black under his short
ribs and landed him outside of the ropes,
where he lay like one dead. After a
quarter of a minute Black revived, and
began to pull off his gloves. whei supon the
awarded the fight to McGregor.
Fully $4,000 changed hands and nearly

THE BROOM HOTEL CLOSED.
Foreclosure of an $4,000 Mortgage
Shuts Down Ogden'S Leading
H0stelry.

The Broom Hotel at Ogden was closed
by Marshal Perkins yesterday at the in
stance of the Utah National Bank, which
had sworn out writ OF attachment on
all the personal property in the building.
Marshal Perkins closed the hotel, and the
business has stopped until some settle
ment can be made AS near as can be
learned M. H. Beardsley, the lessee OF
the Broom Hotel, gave J. c. Armstrong
mortgage on all the furniture and fix
lures OF the hotel in consideration of adj
vancing $4,000 to him. This mortgage
has just expired and has been foreclosed
by Armstrong, and the furniture and per-
sonal property levied upon is covered by
this mortgage.
1t is said that the claim of the Utah
National Bank is in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000, but the legality of the at
tachment under the circumstances is
questioned, and will doubtless have to be
settled in the courts.
The closing of the hotel is hard blow
to Mr.. Beardsley, and will also be felt to
great extent by the people of Ogden. If
it is possible the matter should be adj
justed to the satisfaction of all parties in
terested, and the hotel reopened as soon
as possible. The prevailing hard times
have so seriously effected business that
the hotel has not been paying as well as
was expected. and hence the foreclosure
and attachment was made.

Timely Warming To Campers.Out.

Unless a camping party has among its
members some one who Is unquestlonably
skilled and experienced in the handling
of a sail boat, the latter should never be
used. Dozens of lives are sacrificed every
year to the vanity and stupidity OF people
who think they can sail boat. 1t is q
very curious fact that nine men and boys
out of every ten have the most sublime
confidence in their abilities in this direc-
ton, and the store clerk on a vacation,
who cannot even handle an oar well, will
seize the tiller of sail boat and under
take to run her, with an assurance that
would be laughable if life were not put
in peril by it.
Sailing boat looks easy, but the truth
of the matter is that very few men are
thoroughly competent to handle a small
sailboat. 1t requires, above all else, ex-
perience, combined with good Judgment,
GOODNESS and ability to form a correct
conclusion and act upon it instantly.
Not many men possess all these qualities,
and therefore not many men can be
trusted to sail boat. Of course, it is
quite true that many inexperienced per-
sons 90 out in sailboats and return in
safety. Almost any person can make
shift to get along in ordinary weather
without trouble. 1t is the unexpected
which causes the danger and capsizes the
boat, and the unexpected is sure to hap
pen sooner or later.
A sudden squall, a misstay, the jibing
OF a boom, the parting of sheet or hal
lard, and a man at the tiller who is not
equal to the emergency, and over goes
the boat before the fair-weathnr sailor
who thought he knew it all, can tell what
is the matter; and the papers chronicle
another boat accident, while several lives,
perhaps, are sacrificed to the vanity of
the amateur. Lake shore camping par
ties will do we'll, therefore, to eschew sail
boats, fascinating though they may seem,
unless they are to be managed, not by one
who thinks he knows, but by one who
does know and is qualified by long ex-
perience to run boat.

HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF ORE.
Frank Foote'S Sampling Works
Cunning 10 Their Full Ca.
Pacity on Utah Ores.

To give the public some idea OF the
quantity OF ore coming into the city, q
DEMOCRAT reporter made visit to the
new sampling works of Frank Foote,
located near the Utah Central depot, this
morning. During the past week no less
than twelve carloads of ore from various
sections OF the Territory have been sam
pied at Mr. Foote'S MILL
A sample of los tons OF ore from the
Mast mine, Bingham, was finished yes
terday. A lot of Ashton ore from the
same camp, aggregating "a tons, is on
the platform and will be sampled to-day.
Three carloads of ore from the Mabel
mine, at Stockton, have been sampled
this week. A shipment of 10000 pounds
of ore from Lake Shore district was
sampled yesterday. One car of Milford
ore was also sampled yesterday, and
another will be delivered to the mill to-
day The Denver & Rio Grande deliv-
cred two cars of ore from the Mast lease
yesterday, and one car of Saturn, from
Bingham, to-day.
This is a fine showing, considering that
the sampling mill owned by Mr.. Foote
has been in operation less than three
weeks; and also speaks we'll for Utah
mines. The rise in lead has infused new
life into our mining industries, and all the
old properties that have ever produced
any quantities of ore have been set in
operation. Prospectors are making
many new developments in mines hith-
erto comparatively unknown.

MARRYING A MATRICIDE.
The Kansas Woman who Poisoned
Her Mother for the Insurance

Usage MISSION, Kas., August 12.-The trial
of frankie Morris, the divorced wife OF a.
A. Hurd, chief attorney for Kansas OF the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, for
the murder of her mother to obtain $l5,OOo
insurance on her life, was concluded on Sat
urday evening, and on Monday morning the
iury brought in a verdict of murder in the
first decree. Mrs. Hurd was divorced from
her husband in 1888, and few months
after. through Mrs. Hurd, policy
in the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York was obtained on
Mrs. Poinsett, the mother of Miss Morris
formerly Mrs. Hurd), for 5000, and not
long after this another policy for SlO,OO9 IN
the Equitable Life Association OF the united
States was obtained. The premiums o on
these two policies amounted TO over $|OO
year. Mrs. Poinsett kept boarding house,
but Miss Morris had no source of income. A
few months after this last policy was op-
tanned Mrs. Poinsett and Miss MOTIFS
moved from Cherryvale to Chanute, IN this
county.
In November 5, 1884, to celebrate the
election of Cleveland, a bottle of beer or
malt was bought, and Miss Morris gave her
mother a glass, which made her sick, with
all the symptoms of arsenical poisoning. In
twenty DAYS she died, and was buried on the
same day of her death. There being some
suspicious circumstances connected with the
case, the Grand Jury investigated the matter
and brought in bill. Miss Morris was az
rested in Winfield, where she had brought
suit on the policies, and during last week
her trial has been in progress in the District
Court.
Miss Morris is a finely educated and very
progressing woman, over whom number
of men seem willing to sacrifice themselves.
Her former husband was present during the
trial, and did all in his power to save her
from her pending doom. It was the theory
of the prosecution that Mrs. Poinsett was
murdered, as the result of a conspiracy be-
tween frankie Morris and others, to obtain
the insurance. Every effort will be made to
save her yet, but there seems to be very lit
tie probability of successful outcome OF
the attempt.

victed matricide was married last Saturday

LOOKS LIKE CROOKEDNESS.
An Interesting Question Concern
Ing the Salary of the Quaran-
tine Physician.

Jeter Clinton, the alleged quarantine
physician of Salt Lake City, was sued
about five months ago in the Justices
Court in civil action for money due,
judgment obtained against him, and an
execution issued garnisheeing his salary
not exempt. A partial collection was
made by this means on the 25th of March
Previous to this time Clinton's bill for
salary for services as quarantine physician
had been rendered monthly to the City
Council, published, and the amount ap-
propriated. After this collection no min
utes OF the Council, as published, have
made mention of the claim OF Clinton
for salary or any amount appropriated to
him. The City Treasurer disclaims
any amount due to Clinton
for services as authorized by the
City Council, and the Marshal
claims ne has no funds of Clinton's in
his possession. The query is, How is
Clinton being paid for his services? and
is there not conspiracy on the part of
the city officers in protecting Clinton's
salary from attachment and avoiding
proper process OF law as issued from
Justices courts. If Clinton is still in the
employ OF the city as quarantine physi-
clan, as the reports to the City Council
would indicate, he is receiving salary
of 5000 per month for it, and the officers
who are evading the publication of his
bills and the appropriation OF this salary
are guilty OF something very crooked.
Marshal Phillips was also garnisheed, as
it was reported that Clinton was being
paid out of the Marshal's appropriation.

Americas Richest Rootb,ack.

The richest bootblack in America is Mr..
Patrick Malloy, whose stand is opposite
the Adelphi Hotel in Saratoga. He owns
two houses and has fat bank account.
He seems unable to explain how he got
rich in any other way than by saying that
he and another boy started out in life to-
gether, and while the other boy invested
in horses he put his money in the
bank. The other boy is poor man, and
he is not. The proudest moment in
his life, next to the one when he bought
his first house, was when tremendous
swell from Boston came to him to get his
shoes polished, and said, as he dropped a
dime in the old mans hand: "That is
the last cent I've got I've been betting.
and have lost every dollar l had. Now
must walk back to Boston," The boot
black took him to railroad ticket office,
bought ticket to Boston, and gave that
and 81 to him. The grateful gambler re-
paid him with heavy interest when his
luck returned.-New York Sun.
