PEOPLE from Idaho OF both political
parties state that John HALEY will have
the support of the best and most solid
element in the Territory. He is thor
oughly identified with the section, and
has been engaged in active business there
for many years. He commands the re-
spect and confidence Of the leading citi-
Eens, who prefer him to a man whose en-
tire historyin the Territory is confined to
his career as Federal office-holder. Mr..
Hailey's speeches since the convention
have materially increased his strength,
harmonizing the discordant element in
his own party and drawing heavily
from the opposition. His opponent
is said to be making desperate
efforts to monopolize the Mormon vote
which will filter through the Test Oath
law, and in all probability he will secure
the largest portion of it; but it will be
more than Offset by the loss which his
movement to secure it will entail. The
only danger of Mr.. Hailey's defeat lies
in the remote possibility Of Judge Hayes
deciding the Test Oath law to be uncon-
stitutional

ROOMS TO RENT I!

The words Gaping this article are to
be seen on almost every other house in
the center Of the city, and it is noticeable
that the sign is old, showing it has done
duty often. The truth is, no sooner are
strangers ensconced in "rooms" in this
city than they are forced for some one of
many causes, which make them all OBJ
jectionable to new comers who have
dwelt in more enterprising communities,
to Immediately look for new rooms, and
80 up goes the sign again. This has been
the case ever since rooms have been
"to let," and it is strange that some
owners OF property Of the many who rent
houses and rooms, do not try to meet
the wants Of new comers, and keep good
tenants when they have them. The
crying evil is the great distance from the
business center of the city at which most
dwellings are built, and the impossibilty
OF reaching that center in anything like
regular hours for business. The street
car service might stop entirely for any
good it renders in this respect, AMI it
would not be missed. 1t is fact which
real estate owners should treasure up
that new corners come here solely for
business, when they come to stay, and
they want good tenements near the busi-
ness center. The hotels are amply large
to accommodate all pleasure-seekers. 1t
would then seem to be a good stroke of
business to build some neat dwellings in
the hundreds of lots surrounding the
Temple block and fit them for Eastern
people to occupy. They would be
readily snapped up and good rents could
be obtained from them. Real estate men
should remember that every train touch
ing here from the East brings one or
more families to remain, and that they
all want houses and rooms to rent, but
do not want to buy real estate, and that
the shortest way to make their real estate
good investments is to build modern
houses, fitted for families who have al
ways had all the comforts known to
modern house building, and they could
then be assured OF good and paying ten
ants. Large apartment houses, if built
and conducted on the proper plan, would
be source OF wealth to the owners and a
blessing to strangers. Something should
be done by owners of property to accom-
modate the influx of people sure to come
here in the next year, and the enter
prising man who reaches out in the mat
ter of good dwelling houses, centrally
located, will be the one to reap rich
harvest for his pains. That new people
will come here and settle here is beyond
the power of church or state to stop, and
that they must have homes is also a fact,
hence it is strange that some of the own
ers Of real estate do not see the necessity
and meet it, The old ruts are being
obliterated and new blood is being in
jected into the city's business, hence new
measures are a necessity, and none more
so than new dwelling houses.

SALT LAKES TRADE REVIEW.

With the present issue we incorporate
a reflex OF business in Salt Lake City,
and believe the showing made is a good
one. The march of progress and i'm
provement cannot be stayed by human
hindrances, and it behooves every man
OF business to look ahead at the bright
probabilities in store for Utah and Salt
Lake, and so order his affairs that he can
meet them when they come. The great
trouble with our growing cities in the
East and West has always been the sys-
tenn of discrimination made by railroads.
especially where no competing line
existed, but that cannot be said OF the D.
& X. q. w. road or its management
j. II. Bennett, Esq, the General Freight
and Passenger Agent, said to-day that
" the welfare of Utah merchants is
identical with the welfare of the d. & h.
G. W." and that &" the business policy
OF the road was and always would be
framed to meet the wants and wishes Of
Utah merchants" "The interests of the
road and Utah merchants are identical,
and we carefully plan to benefit them
both, thereby benefitting the whole Ter
ritory" "A Salt Lake merchant can
reach points now in Western Colorado as
far as Sapinero for freights equal to those
paid by Denver merchants to the same
point, and we have an equalized tariff in
force whereby the home merchant can
ship certain goods back over our line at
prices which will equal those paid by
Denver" This being a fact, there re-
mains no real reason why our Salt Lake
merchants shall not branch out for trade,
and indications given by the heavy move
ment of way freights proves that they
are 30 doing, This issue will be of in
terest to Eastern people, and should be
mailed by friends as a specimen of the
everyday business volume OF Salt Lake
City.

from the Federal side was opened upon us;
great broadsides thundered over the woods;
kissing shells searched the dark thlokets
through, and shrapnels swept the road along
which we moved. Two or three steps far
ther, and the litter-bearer at my side was
struck and fell, but, as the litter turned,
Major Watkins Leigh, of Hills staff, hap
PLY caught IL. But the fright OF the men
was so great that we were obliged to lay the
litter and its burden down upon the road
As the litter-bearers ran to the cover OF the
trees, threw myself by the Generals side,
and held him firmly to the ground as ne
attempted to rise, Over us swept the rapid
fire of shot and shell-grape- striking
fire upon the finty rock of the road all
around us, and sweeping from their feet
horses and men of the artillery just moved
to the front. Soon the firing veered to the
other side of the road, and l sprang to my
feet, assisted the General to rise, passed my
arm around him, and with the wounded
mans weight thrown heavily upon me-
we forsook the road. Entering the
woods, he sank to the ground from ex-
haustion; but the litter was soon brought,
and again rallying a few men, we essayed to
carry him farther, when second bearer fell
at my side. This time, with none to assist
the litter careened, and the General fell to
the ground with groan of deep pain.
Greatly alarmed, sprang to his head, and
lifting his head as stray beam of moon
light came through clouds and leaves, he
opened his eyes and wearily said, Never
mind me, Captain, never mind me-. Raising
him again to his feet, he was acoosted by
Brigadier-G General Pender: 'Oh, General,
hope you are not seriously wounded. will
have to retire my troops to reform them,
they are so much broken by this fire. But
Jackson, rallying his strength, with firm
voice said, you must hold your ground,
General Pender you must hold your ground,
sir!' and 30 uttered his last command on the

HON. JOHN HA1LEY's POSITION.

Is Hon. William Woodburn, Repub-
lican Congressman from Nevada, the
author and ntrodncer of the Utah bill OF
the last session, good authority upon
matters pertaining to the Mormon issue
He says that John HALEY is as sound
upon the question as himself and that
his action at Washington last winter
proved him to be so. Will anybody
question Mr.. Woodburn's fidelity to the
loyal cause, or believe that he would en-
dorse political opponent in this matter
unless he was justified by the facts in do
ing 50? John HALEY was the prime
mover in ejecting the Mormon Delegates
from the Democratic Territorial Conyen-
ton, and positively refused to accept the
nomination at its hands unless it was
DONE He was the leading spirit in the
formulation OF the platform adopted
by the Convention, than which
no stronger declaration Of anti-Mormon
principles could be expressed in the
same number of words. He has since
made number OF speeches in the Ter
ritory in which he went far beyond the
provisions of the platform, in his denun-
citation OF the lecherous and reasonable
practices of the Mormon Church and its
methods, and declaring the necessity for
the enactment of the most rigid National
and Territorial laws for their suppression.
How do the assertions of one OF the
leading ti-Mormon Republican Con-
gressmen, who was intimately associated
with Mr.. Haley during the last session;
the acts and words of the gentleman
himself, and the attitude OF the Mormon
press towards him, correspond with
the vague and unsupported charges
of a morning paper of this city? Does
the Republican organ hate Democracy so
much worse than Mormonism that it
thus makes common cause with the lat
ter as against the former? 1t would GER
tainly appear 50. But the coalition
inspired by partisan rancor and priestly
dictation will not prevail in the face OF
the facts, made apparent by unquestion-
able endorsement and the words and acts
OF man whose truthfulness and sin
cerity have never been suspected by
those who know him best John HALEY
will be elected despite the unholy alli-
ance of Republican partizanship with
Mormon treason.

THE DEMOCRAT recently said that there
were gentlemen in Chicago who would
give Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland
fair field in which to test her capacity as
an edtress, and not permit her name to
be banded about by the ruthless para
grapher, and we submit herewith proof
that one Of the gentlemen mentioned is
already up in arms for the fair Roses
cause. Gene Field, in the Chicago
Ne,Vs, has the following:
The Boston Herald goes to the trouble of
explaining that Mr.. John Boyle O'Reilly's
peppery letter to Mr.. A. P. T. Elder was
aimed rather at the publishers than at the
editor of Literary Life. This explanation
is wholly unoalled for; in her effort to raise
Literary Life above the plane of mediocrity,
Miss Cleveland has the sympathy of every
body, and there is not, we presume to say, a
reputable writer in the land who would say
an unkind word to Miss Cleveland of her
work. Miss Cleveland is, as she says in one
of her recent essays, new at the business of
editing, and we are sure that writer's, as well
as readers, will accord her the temporary
forbearance she Graves. We are confident
that when Miss Cleveland has been some-
what longer in harness she will relieve her
publisher of the task of writing appeals for
literary charity. We regret very deeply that
Mr.. Elders silly letters have put his able
and amiable editor to such q disadvantage
before the literateurs of the country; we look
upon it as grave injustice to Miss Cleve-
land.

THE DEMOCRAT has it upon the most
reliable authority that Hon. James G..
Fair will be in the field for reelection to
the United States Senatorship in Nevada.
That settles the result OF the election in
that State next November. The entire

the next Legislature will be largely DEM

represented by Democratic member in
the Upper House OF Congress.
