CABlNET-MAKlNG,

The tariff-smashers having ceased their
circumgyrations for the time being at
least, so that they require no further at
tention, and consensus of opinion hav-
ing been reached that nobody knows ex-
actly why the Democrats were defeated
unless it was because the Republicans
had the most votes, the newspapers have
turned their attention to the construction
of a cabinet for President Harrison. So
far as the President-elect himself is con-
cerned, no one has shadow of an idea
of what he will do. Whether Senator
Sherman or Mr.. Blaine will be secretary
of State, or whether Gov. Alger or some
body else will reign in the war depart
ment-these and like problems are as yet
unsolved. But it may safely be said that
Mr.. Harrison will make wise choice of
advisers, as becomes level-headed man.
and that those who helped elect him will
not be ashamed of the cabinet as a whole,
when formed, or of any part of it. AS
for "Brother Blaine" to adopt the name
given him by the New York Sun, the So
licitation expressed in his behalf is vast
ed. He has shown that he is abundantly
able to look out for himself.

A CURIOUS APPEAL.

Six Birmingham (Ala.) Democrats took
to President-elect Harrison at Indianapo-
lis this week the following appeal, which
is signed by oyer 100 of the prominent
citizens of their town:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Ala
bama, congratulate you and the country
on the success of the principles which
have caused your election, because we
believe that a protective tariff will pro-
mote and aid the development of our nat
ural resources and because an issue free
from sectional feeling and prejudices is
now presented upon which the people of
the South can divide according to the die
tates of reason and conviction.
We know there are large numbers in
this section who think as we do and are
only restrained from public expression
and advocacy of their opinions by feel
ing of uncertainty as to what will be the
policy adopted in the treatment of the
southern problem, and the apprehension
is that any change in our local govern
ments will be detrimental to our best in
terests. This fear, we believe, will be
materially lessened by good appoint
ments, and the best results of your cleo
ton secured by making appointments
from that class of Republicans who COM
mand the confidence and respect of the
communities in which they live. Such
appointments will develop two strong
parties and thus secure to us good gov
ernment.
That Democrats in the heart of the
South should congratulate Mr.. Harrison
on the success of protection principles is
not strange in view of the growth of
manufactures in that region, but the as
sertion that large numbers there are of
the same opinion is full of encourage
ment for Republicans. OF course Mr..
Harrison will appoint worthy men to Of
flee, and the party will continue to grow
in the South till 1.-TWO strong parties" are
developed in every State. Then good
government will be secured; for the Re-
publcans will have power to see that the
rights of all voters are observed and the
Democrats, no longer in absolute control,
will not attempt to repress the minority,
which may in time become the majority.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Senate is still talking on its tariff
bill, but the passage of the measure by
that body this winter is not looked upon
as probable by well-informed correspond
ents.
That wonderful instrument, the phon-
ograph, has attained to the dignity of APP
pearing on the witness stand. 1t was in
troduced in trial at London, Monday,
to reproduce a letter and other docu-
ments.
Senator Riddleberger got very drunk
last Thursday and made a spectacle of
himself in the Senate chamber. His fel-
low Senators are disgusted and would
discipline him were it not for the fact
that his term ends in March next. The
sooner he goes home the better.
M. de Lesseps and his colleagues in the
Panama Canal company have resigned.
The whole thing has apparently gone to
pieces. The French refuse to back the
project and no other nation is inclined to
do it. The Nicaragua route will in all
probability be the one followed ulti-
mately.
Republicans who plead for a free vote
and an honest count in the South are
often accused of waving the bloody shirt ;
but the Richmond (Va.) Dispatch virtu-
ally owns that the charges Of suppress
sing the negro vote are true when 1t says,

The annexation of Canada is clearly
among the possibilities of the next dec

the attention of Congress. Mr.. Butter.
worth of Ohio the other day introduced
in the House a joint resolution giving the
President authority to open negotiations
with Great Britain for annexation on the
basis of the plan set forth by Senator
Sherman in his speech last summer. Can

something to say directly.

A SKETCH.

The history of EI Dorado is short but
interesting. About the 1st of Novem-
Der, 1888 Mr.. G. f. Won Brunck, the
founder OF EJ Dorado, while looking
over Salt Lake Valley. came across the
present site of EL Dorado. He was at
once impressed with the locality, view
and soil, and the opportunities and
facilities 1t presented for making an i'm
portant town, both from a picturesque
sn business point of view. Immedi-
ately on his return to Salt Lake the
purchase was cOnsummated and the
town of EL Dorado place on the m arket.
It's success from the start was f1atter-
ing and unprece denied one, for even
before the surveyor could get his men
on the ground and commence work,
many lots had been sold simply on the
strength of EL DorGdO's situation, and
so the SO es continue.
Ell DOradO'S wonderful success is
largely owing to the fact that investors
we're not scared off by ridiculously
nigh prices. We readily foresaw that

Ell DoRADo's resources, facilities, etc..
(Which are mentioned in another
column), are such that its success is in
evitable and if you have never seen it,
let Us take you there. We don't ask
you to purchase. for we take great pride
in showing what we have done aud are
doing. Ell DORADO never was nor never
wall be proposed or paper town; our
propositions are actively going on and
we II axe no proposals that are to be in
the dim future, but set to work at them
Immediately, thereby making it safe

RAILWAY SERVICE.
The town of EI Dorado has excep-
tional railway facilities. It being located
very near the Utah & Nevada Railway,

trains each way every day during the
summer season. and from two to four
