DIR. cowHIcK,s LECTURE.
a Large Attendance and an Able Ad.
dress.

a large sized audience greeted Rev. j.
Y. Cowhick at the Y. NJ. C. A. hall last
evening and the able lecture delivered by
him on that occasion was listened 10 with
marked attention by all. His subject was
Oliver Cromwell and the lecture con-
sisted in great part of a historical sketch
of that wonderful man. DIR. Cowhick
said that Cromwell was undoubtedly the
most remarkable man known to English
history with possibly one or two excep-
tons. Cromwell's career was described
through all its stormy stages until he
reached the summit of power at the head
of the English nation and some of the
great battles fought while Cromwell was
at the head OF affairs were described.
He did more in his time to preserve
and protect the rights of the people in
respect to religious matters than any
other man that had preceded him. He
was proclaimed dictator by parliament,
and on three different occasions he was
offered the crown, but as often declined.
He was not averse to becoming the king
of England, but his immediate personal
friends were OF the opinion that he ought
not to accept it, and he deferred to their
wishes.
Cromwell was always a large hearted
man and very sympathetic. In fact it is
claimed that he died of grief because of
the death of his daughter. His mother
was 81 years Of age when she died, and
her last words to Cromwell were an exhor-
tation to him labor Tor God and his coun-
try, and to do all in his power to better
the condition Of the people.
Cromwell survived his aged mother but
four years, and died as he had lived-a
friend to humanity.

Territorial Council
NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS.

NEGOIlABLE INSIhU MENTS.
o Monday the committee of the whole
council reported Mr.. Van Devanter's
negotiable instrument back to the superior
body with the recommendation that it
pass. Yesterday the twelve councilmen
voted aye when the roll was called on the
final passage of the bill. 1t is claimed by
prominent attorneys that the adoption of
this code will lessen litigation on the sub
ject and generally facilitate the transac-
ton of business.
FAREWELL, SWEETHEART.
The substitute for Mr.. Murray's bill,
practically providing for the removal of
county seat OF Sweetwater county from
Green River to Rock Springs, was killed
in the council yesterday morning. On
motion Of Mr.. Carleton of Uinta county,
further Consideration of the bill was in
definitely postponed by the following
vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Bliss, Carleton, Guern-
sey, Hammond, Hadsell, Organ, Smith
of Carbon and President Riner.
Noes-Messrs. Holiday, Loucks, Smith
of Sweetwater and Symons.
At II O'Clock the council took a recess
until 2 p. nj. An immense amount of
committee work had accumulated and
consultation on the prospects forthe pend
ing executive session were desired.
IRRIGATION.
The committee of the whole council,
Mr.. Organ in the chair, after amending
Mr.. Johnston's bill creating the office of
territorial hydraulic engineer, recommend
ed that the measure become a law. Several
marked alterations were made, but all
doubtlessly improved the bill, as the mat
ter was given careful consideration. The
proposed law now contains several clauses
which the supporters claim will obviate
the necessity of much costly litigation in
determining the priority of water rights
and provinces of ditch and canal compa-
MES.
FAVORABLE.
The councilmen favored the idea en-
bodied in Mr.. Patterns bill providing that
owners of oil wells should plug the
aperatures prior to abandonment and
recommended hat the measure pass.
AN EASY DEATH.
Mr.. Sutherland's house bill instructing
officers of the territory to select as depu-
ties only such persons as had been resi-
dents of the commonwealth for six
months previous to the time of assuming
office, came up for consideration in com
mittee of the whole council last evening,
Mr.. Bliss in the chair. The measure was
amended by making its provisions ~applica-
BILE only to officers who knowingly violated
the act. After the alteration had been
made further consideration of the bill
was indefinitely postponed.
ABANDONED.
A house bill in relation to the release
and purchase of railroad land was tabled.

the genial gentleman from johnson. For
the past ell days he has been ailing some
what and recently has been unable to be
about continuously. Is is regretted that

lower house.

WITH the characteristic littleness of
his soul, Editor Wise attempts to detract
from the credit due Mr.. Merriam in the
matter of personally relieving farmers
in the vicinity of Lake Crystal who had
their crops destroyed by hail. In the
first place it tries to make it appear that
there were but two men concerned,
whereas in fact some forty farmers and
their teams were given employment by
Mr.. Merriam in harvesting his grain, and
by his orders were put into the standing
grain and thus were enabled to make
high wages. This commendable act of
Mr.. Merrlam's the RerieaU says was no
more than what Governors Marshall,
Davis and Pillsbury did for the farmers
during the grasshopper periods. Wise
knows as well as any one that it was the
sworn duty of the governors named to
do as they did and that whatever expen-
ditures they made was of state funds, or
afterwards reimbursed to them by the
legislature. There is no comparison
whatever between the acts of governor
state aid to the afflicted and
the charity of private individual, and
the Revie,0 is In small business seeking
to detract from the credit due Mr.. Mer-
riam by such method.

We do not think there is anything
criminal in opposing the Republican
nominee for the legislature.-BlueE Earth
City Post.
1t is trife worse than criminal for
any Republican to oppose any nominee
of his party for the legislature at this
particular time. Republican edi-
tors who are proposing to bolt their
party nominations for such offices and
advising their readers to do SO, must be
very short-sighted and careless of the
interests of the party and government.
1t is known to all how meagre hold the
Republican party has upon the U. S.
senate, and conduct upon the part of
Republicans in this or any other state
which might result In throwing the con-
troll of that body into the hands of the
Democracy can certainly not be looked
upon as right. 1t is the duty of every
Republican to stand by the whole ticket
in the coming election, and the legisla-
tive ticket in particular. The excuse
that bad and unworthy men have Sc
cured the nominations is poor one. 1t
was the duty of those who have an in
terest in the good government of the
state to have seen that the candidates
were honest men, and il Is a poor time
after the conventions have been held to
begin being critical. Besides, we have
an idea that many of the men who are
objected to are not worse than those
who frown down upon them. At all
events no loyal Republican can for a
consider the idea of voting for
q Democratic legislative candidate, and
thus aiding the Democracy to gain con-
troll of the u. S. senate.

Crowding agriculture with men else
where thrown out will inevitably de-
press that industry. Thousands who
are now buyers of products will be un-
able to pay, and will either raise what
they need or go without. Wages will 90
down under the diminished demand for
the products of farm and factory, hard
times will reign supreme, and the free
traders millennium will draw nigh. Then,
and not till then, can goods be produced
as cheaply here as in Europe, for labor
under such conditions can be procured
on equal terms here and abroad.
Every voter who earns his living by
harder work than clipping coupons will
do we'll to contemplate the tendency
and result of the present free trade APP

furtherance in the United States, whose

THE WoRKINGMAN'S INTEREST
IN PROTECTION.

The free trade advocate is a theorlst,
calmly Indifferent to those practical as
poets of good government which states
men recognize as momentous. Point
him to the fact that millions of workers
are now engaged in those industries
which will suffer, some of them disap-
pear, when exposed to unrestrained
foreign competition, and ask him what
is to become of these people, he at once
responds that they can 90 at some other
work, and beyond this-he saith not.
This may satisfy the clustered professor
of political economy, and those who are
content to repeat his theories; but the
thousands of voters who depend upon
steady work al fair pay cannot afford to
become the victims of a theory, what
ever Its fascination for the visionaire.
With them every question of govern
mental policy is practical one, in the
decision OF which they cannot hazard
mistake.
Under the policy of protection the
productions of our country-of agricul-
ture, manufactures, mines, forests-have
so marvelously increased that there is
to-day more work for more men than at
any time since the first factory wheel
revolved in America, or the first furrow
was turned. There has not been day
since the Mayf1ower landed when an
average DAVIS work would 90 as far as it
will to-day in supplying the comforts
and necessaries of family life. 1t is this
condition that the. workingman is asked
to jeopardize by reversing the fiscal pol
icy under which it was brought about. |
Aside from the suspicious circumstance
that the inspiration for such change, as |
we'll as the arguments put forth IN its
behalf, have foreign origin, and are |
largely championed by men interested |
in foreign trade, there are certain prac-
teal aspects of the situation which no
prudent voter should ignore when cast
ing his ballot.
Let it be remembered that every COM
petlng foreign article sold In this country
takes the place of a domestic made arti-
,le which might have been sold. Just
10 much more foreign goods as are sold
20 our people, just 80 much less domes-
FOODS can be sold. Ii domestic goods
:annot be sold, they will not be made.
If not made, employment In their man
fracture must stop, idleness ensue, and
With it privation and distress. 1t is not
,noueh for the theorist to say that men
bus thrown out of employment can take
,oId of something else. Other lines of
business are now as full as manufactures.

THERE are several small bore congress
men at Washington who are showing
their littleness now that the more able
members have mostly left the city for
their homes. While the latter were
present the figure-heads kept in the
background, at present they are making
records. Their principle occupation
seems to be to prevent the transaction
of any sort of business by insisting that
no quorum is present. One of these fell
lows, an Indianian named Cheadle, pre-
vented the consideration last week of q
bill to give pension of $50 per month
to the widow of Colonel Robert N.
Scott, late in charge of the war records
department. Col. Scott undermined his
health by his close diligence to the la
borious work of compiling the records of
the late war, and died few months af-
ter the completion OF the work of so
much value to the country, especially
its veterans. Northern and Southern
united in support of the bill to
pension his widow, and the bill would
have passed had not this small-brained
Indianian raised his ridiculous objec-
ton. The bills to pension the widows
of Chief Justice Waite and General
Sheridan are receiving about the same
and the proposition to allow
the former lady the balance of the pres

cred. There is certainly very small
spirit being shown by congress in these
matters and it is time the people took
hand IN sending men to Washington who |
had more liberal idea Of what the ma
,Ion owes men who have proven its
in times of war, or the equally |
times of peace.

AT the unwilling of a monument to the
late Confederate General Pickett at
Richmond recently, the colors of the
late confederacy were unusually con-
spicuous. A rebel flag was carried by
the veterans who headed the process
sion, and for that reason the Union
League veterans of Philadelphia, who
had been invited to take part in the
demonstration, furled their flag and re-
fused to hoist it In the line behind the
stars and bars. AS the ex-rebels refused
to make any concessions the y. S. flag
was taken back to the hotel, though the
Philadelphia boys refrained from max
ing any protest at the discourtesy shown
them by those whose guests they were.
1t is safe to say that the reunions of
of Northern and Southern veterans will
not be plentiful hereafter if the stars
and stripes are to take back seat in the
procession.
