Buried Miner Rescued

IsHrEM1Ne, Mich, Oct. 19.-Joseph
McGrath, the miner who was buried by
a fall of timber and ore in the Winthrop
mine, was finally rescued alive, but weak
and badly hurt. THE escape was almost
miraculous, as the mass which fell on
him weighed many IONS. BY chance the
timbers SO fell as to allow him enough
air to keep himself alive.

PEOPLES PARTY RALLIES.

Ought not the Peoples Territorial
Central Committee to arrange for some
campaign work in the interest of Hon.
John T. Caine? Mr.. Game las been
and is still absent from the Territory
standing by the post of duty regardless
of his own personal interests, and it
seems to US his party managers should
be doing for him what it is impossible
for him to do for himself. The Liberals
have arranged for vigorous campaign,
and the Democrats are actively and
theoretically at work. OF course, Mr..
Game will be elected. Nobody doubts
that. But his friends should under
stand that the larger his majority the
greater will be his influence in Congress
when he returns as the representative
of the people of Utah. The way to get
Big majorities is to bring the people to
the polls, and the way to do this latter
is to bring them together, talk to them
and inspire them with the full sense of
the duty which they, as citizens, owe to
themselves and to the community.
Let Us have some rousing Peoples
party rallies.

and judging from the enthusiasm
manifested all were pleased. Mr.. R

whom much credit is due for the sue
cess of the meeting) made everything
pleasant for all in attendance. Present
from Salt Lake and Provo were Mr..

DR.. w. f. Pike, George A. Richards,
Jr., c. a. Smoot, Jr., Joseph T. Nc

s. Boyer was elected chairman and
made a fine opening speech. A. o.
Smoot, Jr., W. Il. King and Casady
were the speakers, which gave the true
ring of pure Democracy. TIE best
feeling prevailed and many votes were
secured for the Democratic nominee.
Mr.. George Harrison prepared an ex-
cellent repast, and at u o'clock the
speakers and visitors returned by
teams to Provo. Springville is strongly
Democratic and will poll a strong vote
for S. r. Thurman.

EXPOSING A "MoRAL EFFECT.

Since the campaign opened in New
York we have frequently seen in the
papers the name of Colonel Swords, of
Iowa." as betting heavily on Harrison
and Morton. The Republican organs
gave the flush Colonel all the space he
required to tell of his bets, and how he
blutfed Democrats. His headquarters
were at the Hoffman House, where his
money was always ready to cover any
sums which might be offered on Cleve-
land. The other day the Colonel wrote
private letter home to Iowa, and it
was Immediately published, as it was
intended to be, to give moral effect"
to the campaign and encouragement to
the Republicans. In this letter he said
he had wagered $50, 900 upon the election
of Harrison aud Morton, and that he
expected Ito walk off with $40 900 in his
inside pocket" The letter falling under
the eye of the editor of the Cedar Rapids
Republican, he proceeded to say 10 his
paper: This is our own Colonel, who
few brief months ago was serving as
secretary of the Commercial Exchange
for the magnificent salary of $125
month. The Colonel has no $40 900 nor
$4,000 nor 81 900 to bet on election. The
Colonel,is good fellow, but he'll never
walk off with $4,000 IN his inside
pocket" This is a cruel and unfeeling
way of letting down swell-head, and
exposing a fellow who has been en-
ployed for his board and clothes to give
moral effect" to the campaign.

A SEWER BOND.

The suggestion presented in the
Council on Tuesday evening in regard
to sewer bond, it occurs to US, may be
proftably acted upon. While only a
small percentage of the property-own-
ers in District Number l protested
against the sewerage proposition, it is
nevertheless fact that the tax will fall
pretty heavily on good many. Not a
few of those who protested are abund-
antly able to pay, while many who did
not protest and who regard sewerage as
essential to the well being and growth
of the city, will be seriously annoyed if
they have to raise money to pay the tax
now. 1t is probably true, as has been
asserted, thst in soIhe instances par
ties will be compelled to put mortgages
on their property. We cannot believe
these cases are numerous.
Bnt it occurs to US that, if it can be
legally done, it will be easier for rich
and poor if the contemplated improve
ment can be paid for from the proceeds
of the sale of a sewer bond to run from
five to ten years. The corporation has
just disposed OF its fve-per-cent.
bonds. individuals with the very
best of security cannot borrow
money at so low a rate of interest,
