Preller's Last Chance.

Judge Van Wagner, in criminal court
at st. Louis, on the 7th, overruled the mo-
ton made recently by Maxwells attorneys
for new trial. As soon as the prisoner
shall have been sentenced an appeal will be
taken to the supreme court. If this shall
prove unsuccessful the case will be taken to
the United States court on the ground that
the state law which allows the prosecution
more challenges of jurors than the defense
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The Crops In the Central Portion of the
State Badly Damaged.
Reports are coming in of a cyclonic
storm which passed over the central
portion of Illinois on the 9th. Much
damage was done to crops, especially
oats and corn. Hail also fell at differ
ent points, doing great damage. At
Clinton number of roofs were blown
off and other damage done. The
storm lasted from one to two hours.
The greatest damage appears to have
been to the oat crop, which is said to
be ruined. A number of chickens and
ducks were killed by hailstones in the
neighborhood of Bloomington.

LOW.GRADE GOLD AND SILVER ORE
Huge Masses of 1t Exposed to the
Surface I'm West Mountain
District.

Correspondence DEMOCRAT.
Awaiting the tardy approach of capita
and practical science combined, huge
masses of low-grade gold and silver ore
lie exposed and untouched in Bingham
or West Mountain mining district. A
cheap process that will extract both gold
and silver at Il cost that will not exceed
$12 per ton, and save from So to 80 per
cent. OF the assay value of these deposits,
backed by ample capital, labor-saving
appliances and first-class machinery, can
not fail to pay heavy and permanent
dividends. 1t is claimed that new COM
| binations applied to the teaching process
will save gold equally as well as silver,
and as the ores in question contain gold
and silver in about equal values, the
present depreciation of one of the royal
metals is fully met by the appreciation
of the other. Metallurgical works after
the fashion OF those in Swansea, Wales,
or those near Denver, under the super
vision of ex-senator Hill, would find am
pie and profitable material in the great
veins alluded to, and in various high
grade, but refractory ores, found in differ
erent Utah districts. The time will come
when such works will be planted in Salt
Lake valley, and their advent will inaug-
urate a new era OF material prosperity in
Utah.
But the despotic and fanatical rule of
an ignorant and sensual priesthood must
first be crushed out by the enforcement
of National law. All permanent pros
perity in Utah waits for this desirable
consummation. Intelligent men in the
Mormon Church are waking to the abso-
lutte necessity of placing themselves and
their people in accord with the Nation.
To this end there must be earnest and
united action on the part of every loyal
citizen in Utah. Every consideration of
material wealth, OF social, educational
and religious progress, demands the i'm
mediate overthrow of the Infamous
politico-ecclesiastical clique, which has
too long cursed this fair Territory with its
corroding rule. Ali roads lead to
Rome. From whatever standpoint the |
situation here is viewed, obstruction to
progress in every direction is found in the |
union of a polygamous Church with a
disloyal State. We may congratulate |
ourselves on the splendid material |
possibilities of this magnificent Territory,
but until the bar to its development by
an influx of capital and enterprising
men is removed it will remain under a
cloud. A concerted effort should be
made at the next session of Congress to
obtain needed legislation. A Legislative
Commission is most desirable. Failing
IN that, the Edmunds-Tucker bill should
be passed. A speedy change of base

nomination is incontrovertible, and L
cannot imagine why any loyal and intelll-
Gent resident of the Territory OF either
party should even attempt to gainsay it
certainly none, unless it be a few who
have political axes to grind, and who are
not averse to finishing the edge with
Mormon milestone. 1t is, of course, we'll
known here that the Mormons have no
political utilization or sympathy, either
with the principles or organizations OF the
Democratic or Republican parties. They
are for the Church and its reasonable
and adulterous institutions, first, last and
all the time, and whatever political pre-
tensions their representatives at Wash
ington may make, are shaped and pur-
posed for the advantage of Mormonism
and its priesthood This, however, is
not so generally understood by the people
in the East, and their enlightenment
upon the subject will convince them, and
especially the politicians, that Mormon
professions are not to be depended upon,
and that no advantage can be gained for
the party to which they pretend ale
glance. This can in no manner be SO
plainly shown as by forcing their Con-
gressional candidate to run against the
regular nominees of the two national
parties. 1t will conclusively prove that
the Mormons are unit as against both
Democrats and Republicans, ignoring
both alike when the issue is made at the
polls. The time is close at hand-in fact
it has already arrived-when action
should be taken. The Democratic Terri
torial Committee should be called to-
gether at once and consultation held,
and if wise counsel prevails, conven-
ton will be called for the nomination of
a Democratic candidate for Delegate to
Congress. DEMOCRAT.
