THE NEW RAILROAD POOL.
steady lsates for the Coming Year
The Low EateS on Utah Grain.

Mr.. $. w. Eccles, General Freight and
Passenger Agent of the DE- R.G. W. Rail-
way, was met this morning and asked the
effects of the Chicago meeting of the Gen
eral Managers of the Utah Traffic Asso-
citation, from attending which he returned
last evening He replied that pool on
all business between Colorado and
California had been formed to the
advantage of our local shippers. Pools
on Utah business were extended to
the 1st of August, 1886, insur-
ing steady rates for the coming year, and
only subject to withdrawal on thirty
days notice by any member.
This is another good move for Utah, for
it insures reliable low rates to shippers,
which have heretofore been more or less
fluctuating. During the past month,
since a special low rate was given ON
grain, Utah's outgoing traffic has been
exceptionally good, and promises to so
continue for some considerable time, at
least so long as the country is filed with
grain

So we hope that Mr.. Cleveland will catch

of ruling the country and the men around
him, but by doing it i'll a way which looked
as though he was but giving expression to
the peoples already expressed will. Above
all things, we hope he will discard negative
men, and only lean on people through whose
arteries warm blood is bounding.
1t is to be desired that the hope above
expressed will be realized. OF course
some of the Federal officials will have to
60, but as the fairest flowers must fade
and pass away, so must some of the
greatest men. When some OF these great
men go, 90 for their country's good, they
can find consolation in the fact that only
twenty-three names are preserved to the
world from before the Deluge There is
one thing in the above extract that should
not pass unnoticed and without condem-
nation 1t is this: "Above all things,
we hope he will discard negative men,"
No other construction can be put upon
this than that it is an insinuation against
the Governor If the Tiribune has any-
thing against the Governor, why does it
not say so, and not call attention to it's
desire that he may go by saying that it
hopes the President will discard mega

How Mr.. Simmons scot Left,

Mr.. NJ. S. Simmons, indirectly con-
nected with the $500 Hardy steal last
Saturday, says Dickinson borrowed the
money OF him on pretense of transacting
cattle trade of large profit to both, and
as soon as the papers were filed out they
were to be han ded over to Simmons as
his only security until the returned prof
It's were realized. He knew Dickinson
had a house and lot on West Temple
street between Fourth and Fifth
South. but was not aware of
$4,000 mortgage upon it
at the time. He denies any knowledge
of suspicion of dishonesty in advancing
the amount. Twenty minutes after Dick
inson gave him the envelope with the
presumed $500 returned, he opened it
and found the waste paper. Hardy hired.
a team at the City Stables and drove that
evening to Echo, where he boarded the
train for Cheyenne and was there lost
sight of. At all events Mr.. Simmons is
the sole and only loser

ment of laws against this kind Of
crime. To show to what STRAITS our
moral laws being repealed had left US, he
cited the Spanish Fork case OF sexual de-
prayity and several others of the same
style, which could not be punished under
the existing laws, and would be re-
proach upon the fair name OF any Terri
tory or State, even where there was no
alliance of Church and State. 1t was
easily seen that there was only one way
out of the difficulty-the dominant party
having thoroughly proven their inefficien-
cv-and that was by driving the present
political party from power, and electlng
men to fill the offices that We're competent
and willing to fulfill their trusts. The party
that established equal rights for all men
surely was the party to bring about the
elevation of the people of Utah. The
women, who are the greatest sufferers by
the lack of interest in the punishment OF
those crimes against morality, should
rise up and cast their ballots for
men who would pass laws that would
protect them and their daughters from
danger. That the ballot in the hands OF
free thinking women would greatly aid
the good work, if they could only be
reused up to think in opposition to the
men who had constituted themselves the
leaders of local party that had no poll
tical significance or respect for woman s
wrongs. He thought Utah should be the
keystone in the archway of States be-
tween the two oceans, and form another
star on the American flag. This would not
be brought about until the people began
to take an interest in political affairs,
for only through the people of this Terri
tory would it ever reach Statehood. The
reigning power has been without plat
form, and consequently their very exist
ence has been ignored by both OF the
great political parties The church papers
have never advocated politics, and there
fore the church people have taken no in
terest in it, That to rouse up a political
feeling until Democracy is dominant in
Utah is the object of the present efforts,
pull, and strong pull" to assure success
for the Democratic ticket in local politics.
Mr. A. B. THOMPSON
Was the last speaker, and voiced the sem
timents of those who preceded him. He
gave comprehensive view of the local
situation in regard to politics and creed
being in direct opposition, and that both
could not be managed with justice under
one head. He thought man should
not be reviled, and given the name of
being an arbitrator to his family merely
because he differs with them on the ques-
ton of political supremacy and the sew
erance of Church and State.
Upon Mr.. Thompson finishing his
speech Mr.. Bamberger rose and moved
that the meeting be adjourned and in
formed those present that another Demo-
cratic meeting would be held in front of
the DEMOCRAT Office at half-past eight on
Saturday evening.
