A REPUBLICANS VIEWS.
There VIII Be No Liberal Party in Two
Years From Now.

There VIII Be No Liberal Party In Two
Years From Now.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:
1 have been resident of Salt Lake city
for about two months, and am somewhat
impressed with the political situation here
which, to me, Republican, seems unique.
1 have learned that the Mormons for they
compose the greater part of the Peoples
party are conservative in their manage
ment of municipal affairs, and perhaps are
on the side of being too conservative. How
ever, it seems that they have awakened to
the necessities of growing city, and have
established systems of sewerage and street
improvements, and have commenced to
carry out their plans. The city is well
lighted and well supplied with water. Now
1 fail to see the necessity for much more in
municipal management than that we have
good streets, good sewers, plenty of water
and well lighted streets. 1t, therefore,
strikes me very forcibly that there is nc
necessity for change except it be to GUST
the Mormons, as they have no rights which
a Gentle is bound to respect.
But 80 per cent. of the Mormons, so far
as l can learn, are Democrats, and about 40
per cent of the Liberals are of the same
persuasion. Take it then in the city where
Liberals and Mormons are about equal in
number, about 65 per cent. of the entire
voting population are Democrats and about
30 per cent. Republicans. It goes without
saying that this will be the last campaign
in which there will be Liberal party and
a Peoples party, for the ordinary Demo-
cratic politician is too long headed to take
back seat in any party, wherefore the next
campaign will see the entire voting popula-
ton divided between the two great political
parties and then where are we Republicans
to be found! Yet here in the Liberal
party, composed of three Republicans and
two Democrats, all are ringing our own
death knell, and placing Powers, Webb,
Merritt, West and other good Democrats
in positions where in the next campaign
they can dictate terms of confederation to
the Mormon branch of the Democracy. Is
this the end for which we are paying our
campaign assessments! Is this the griev-
Gus use to which the G. A R. hall is put
nearly every night!
In order that Salt Lake city may not
meet the experience of Ogden in extrava-
CANT management of its finances, and in its
multiplicity of its saloons, gambling houses
and dens of prostitution, and in order that
municipal property, real and personal, in
which this city is sorich, may be preserved
for legitimate municipal needs, here is a
supporter of the Peoples party, who al
ways has been and always will be
REPUBLICAN.

What She Would Do.

Mrs. Eighty, meeting MRS. Smythe in one of
New York's biggest and most bewildering

say in case he should get lost, and I'd know
just what to do myself. I'd keep perfectly

Unexpected!
How Charming Lady Allowed Fatal Troa-
BILE to Come Upon her Unawares.

Nearly every one of my friends has cold.'
This remark was made TO a party of friends
by an active lady who resides on Fourty- fourth
street, New York. That evening she felt n
tickling in her throat, slight pain across the

much difficulty in breathing. To-day she is
suffering from quick consumption, and can live,

Such troubles should not be neglected.

His Revenge Came.

Revenge IS sometimes slow in coming, n
said man whose face bore the marks of pre-
mature age, Shut it is sweet when it does
come" He carefully folded a newspaper
which he had been reading, and put it into
his pocket Then he stretched out his legs,
clasped his hands back of his head and
laughed. Several men sitting about the
stove lit was in the Office of a small hoteD
looked inquiringly at the speaker, and pres
entity one of them, holder than the rest, asked:
what do you meang'
81 mean exactly what I say; but will ex-
plain" He laughed again. ''Some time ago
I married a woman whom society declared to
be beautiful. Twas infatuated with her, and
showered my money upon her. Ny fortune
was soon spent, and then my wife informed
me that she no longer cared for me. She left
me, and secured divorce. Shortly after
ward one of her relatives died and left her an
immense sum of money. I was in need,
actually without food, and wrote to her, re-
minded her of my liberality and begged her
to lend me thousand dollars"
He paused, laughed again, and then con-
tinued:
"She answered the latter, upbraided what
she termed my shameless presumption, and
declared that she could not afford to waste
money on a man who was nothing to her."
He took the newspaper from his pocket,
lay back in his chair and laughed softly.
"And what thenf' some one asked.
"Oh, nothing then, but revenge now. She
is to be punished for her soulless cruelty to
me-"
"What, has she been arrestedn
"Oh, no; how could they arrest herr"

A Lost Opportunity.

DR.. Burton and DR.. Gage were ministers
of two Congregational churches in Hartford
and excellent friends. Like many other
clergymen they loved joke, especially at
each others expense. DR.. Gage had Travelled
abroad and since his return had been deliv-
ering a course of lectures upon Old World
subjects. One of the lectures-on Palestine
had been thought not SO interesting as the
others, and on its second delivery many of
the auditors withdrew before it was finished.
Not long afterward DR.. Cages house was
entered by burglar. DR.. Gage was giving
DR.. Burton an account of the affair: "Why,
doctor, I had him down fat on his back;
held him there; he couldn't move an inch"
"Goodl" said DR.. Burton. "But what a
splendid opportunity that was to have deliv-
cred to him your lecture on Palestinew-Ar.

Fred Everts, of the Seventeenth ward
is an enthusiastic young Scandinavian Lib

party's welfare. Yesterday afternoon he
was excitedly running about the streets
with an unregistered brother, seeking a
registration officer. A Peoples party
