the Union. The utmost liberty Of
the State consistent with the preser-
walton Of the Union is now the doc
trine Of all Democrats
The Republican party Is taking
long strides toward the centrsliEa-
ton of power in the hands Of the
federal government, The Blair
educational BILL tEe Lodge election
bill, tie Thomas Edmunds bill, and
Others are familiar examples.
The republican party has deprived
certain communities Of local self
government In the past, and proposes
to do 50 with another in the immedi-
ate future. BY means Of the Lodge
election bill, 1t proposes, in Mr..
Reeds words, "to do its own regis
tration, its own counting, its own
eertificatiOn;" and here in Utah
we well know what that means,
Every Democrat votes against
this. measure and all Republicans
except two vote for IL. II was
strict party vote Of democrats
against the Idaho test-Oath, and Of
republicans in favor Of IL; every
Democrat voted for Springer's
amendment 10 preserve Liberty OF
conscience, and every Republican
voted against il. Equality before
the law Is democracy, not repubh-
canism.
PROHIBITION.
The Republican party has least an
avowed sympathy with prohibitory
enactments In regard TO the selling
of alcoholic liquors. The Democratic
party is opposed TO all sumptuary
laws, /. E., laws limiting the amount
citizen may spend in food,
dress, etc. Such are prohibit
tory liquor laws, these are
regarded by Democrats as an
invasion Of private liberty, and are
generally condemned in Democratic
platforms. Many sections Of both
parties favor "high license" or
lOcal option" instead Of State pro-
hibition. Paternalism and centrali-
zatiOn are characteristic Republican
practices, however; while decentral-
izatIon Is characteristic Of Demo-
crazy.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
In theory, both parties have the
same views on this subject.
Harrison's administration has
been considerably more partisan
than Cleveland's was.
OTHER SUBJECTS.
Railroad and ether corporations
have usually received more favOrs
from the Republican than from the
Democratic party.
There is a decided similarity of
platforms in regard 10 the public
lands, the labor interest, immigra.
ton aud ballot reform. The parties
are considerably mixed on bi-metal-
ism; rather more Democrats than
Republicans favor the dOuble-stand.

FREE sCHOOLs'' have been al.
vOcated in theory and opposed in
practice by the Liberals" OF this
city from the beginning. They
have fought Improvement and con-
tested assessments for school pur-
poses, in the school meetings and in
the courts. Now they pretend that
they are the special friends Of free
schools and that they should be cd
trusted with their management TO
the exclusion of those who have
actually established them. Let the
votes on Monday show that the peo-
pie appreciate the position.

THE HISTORY OF UTAH.

The mass OF the people Of this
Territory viii be grAtified 10 learn
that the history of Utah is about to
be written. This qualification will
be increased when Il Is stated that
this important work is to he per-
formed by orson F. Whitney, a
native OF the Territory, and a gifted
writer whose ability is well estab-
lished 10y products Of his facile pen
already in the hand OF the public.
No part Of the United States has
manufactured materials for a nara
tive ofdeep anu in numerous features
thrilling interest with the same
rapiiity rs Utah. In many respects
the themes 70 be related by the
historian are unique in the full
sense Of the term. They will be
wildly yet truthfully portrayed by
the gentleman who has under
taken to produce a literary work
that will doubtless, as it ought
to, have place in every
household in Utah and the
adjacent country, as well as In tens
OF thousands of libraries throughout
the United States and beyond them.
The historian has issued his pros
pectus, and, in view Of the impor.
lance Of the subject TO which it re-
lates, We deem ii appropriate to
quote from it:
Believing that the time is ripe for
It, and that the public interest de-
nIands it. the undersigned proposes to
write a History Of Utah.
The work will comprise three vol
umes. and will embrace all the essen
tial features Of a complete narration
and description OF the settlement and
formation OF the Territory and its
growth and development up to the
present time.
i do not deem it necessary 10 saw
that intend 10 make it fair and truth
ful. History is not history unless it is
fair and truthful. The province Of the
historian is in the field Of facts. 1t is
his duty TO get at the facts and plainly
and properly state them. shall per
form this duty conScieniiously.

infancy, and the parts played Icy Nor
mon and Gentle in the stirring drama

hearsed, and the social. industrial,
educational, political and religious
phases Of the Utah question thorough
ly and carefully considered.
'In printing, binding, etc, i. is de /
signed that everything shall he strictly |

in Utah.
''Dr. John O. Williams, OF Denver 4

tons should be addressed to him.
Accompanying the prospectus are
strong endorsements Of the under
taking ami the historian by a large |
number OF prominent gentlemen
and ladies of the Territory. Among
them are those OF Presidents w.
Woodruff, George q. Cannon and |
Joseph f. Smith.
We understand from Mr.. Whit
ncy that he is already at work on
the initiatory portion Of the history, /
and will devote himself exclusively
to the task before him-so far as
literary labor is concerned-until it
is completed.

SUICIDE IN DENVER.
4 Wild Life Ended BY Self-Adminis-
tered Poison.


The fact that the deceased left n
sister in Utah, imparts a tinge Of
local interest 10 a narrative of n
suicide which occurred in Denver,
and is detailed in the Aelcs Of that
city Of July 10Th. The story Is as
follows:
Mrs. Bertha Olmstead. who has
plunged into the worst designations
for a good many months past, ended
her unhappy career Tuesday after
noon by taking large dose Of NOR
phine. The fact Of her death was
not revealed until the middle Of the
afternoon yesterday, and II might
have lain a secret for many days
more had il not been for the decay
which mortal flesh is heir ~. The
horrible odOr that always accom-
panies the decay Of the human
body disclosed the wOman's remains
yesterday.
IL was tho same old story which
tells the secret Of many an unfOrtu-
nate girls life. Bertha Olmslead,
or Shurter, which WAS the name 10
which she was legally entitled, died
for love and left note behind her
naming the object OF her affections.
But there Is little doubt kut that IL
was n case Of general dependency,
the alleged love being but one OF the
many Cntributing causes.
On July 3 young woman came
10 the proprietOrs Of the lodging
house at 2257 LarimeT Street. which
is over McInery's notion store, and
rented . Of the house, a young
fellow who was with her paying for
the rent Of the room in advance.
She brought a baby girl with her
and began 10 make this place her
home. No one in the house knew
her, and she came and went like
any lodger. After Monday after
noon neither she nor her baby were
seen any more, but the failure to
notice her was not remarked upon.
About ; O'Clock yesteriay after
noon some Of the dodgers, who had
been rather suspicious for a few
hours, were aware Of a Uauseating
smell that proceeded from the apart
ments rented by the young woman.
The knob Of the door lay on the
door, which further excited the
1.rfsraruF urffns.

President Cleveland commended
the zeal of our fathers TO preserve
equality before the law, and under
whose rule combinations, mono
polls and aggregatiOns OF capital
were avoided or sternly regulated
and restrained"
Jas. q. Blaine said that trusts
are largely private affairs, with
which neither Congress nor Presi-
dent Cleveland himself has any
right to interfere"
President Harrison said it WIS
not the length Of the step towards
free trade made by the Mills bill,
that alarmed all good republicans,
but the direction Of il. Accordingly,
his party has claimed It's coustitu.
ents by taking n step in the opposite
observation-disclosures higher taxes.
Democrats claim that taxation
is 4 necessary evil, which
should be kept within the
narrOEest possible limits. Republi-
cans claim that taxes may be made a
wealth producing factor if applied to
the payment of bOunties 10 manufac-
turing corporations, or if 80 levied
as to give the manufacturer a mon
opoly Of the home market. To this
President Cleveland replied. "He
mocks the people who proposes that
the government shall protect the
rich, and that they, in turn, will
care for the labOring poor" He re-
marks that when che government
enters gratuiti5usly into partnership
with these favorites, it destroys
auuaIity befOra the law.

THE SURPLUS.

Democrats believe the surplus should
be reduced by decreasing the taxa

The last year Of Democratic taxa

The Democratic party believes too
much money il already paid in pen

in universal pensioning to soldiers.
The pensi ms paid last year amount

Hearty Endorsement of the Project From
the Board of Bishops.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The Board Of Bishops
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church closed their
session at the Book Concern in this city to-day,
all the Bishops being present, except Bishop
Warren, who is in Europe. The assignments
of the Bishops to the fall conferences were
made. and Bishop John p. Newman was ap-
pointed to visit Japan, and hold the confer
ence there in July. The establishment
of National University in the city of
Washington, D. g., under the patron
age Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
having been submitted to the Bishops
having been carefully considered, the board
agreed unanimously in commencing the pro-
joct A resolution adopted states that an
endowment of at least 81, OU0 900 and suitable
buildings should be procured before the uni
versity be put in operation. The resolutions
continue:
In view of the local demand in all parts Of
the country for the emergent needs of already
existing institutions, we must look chiefly for
the proper endowment of the National Uni
yersity to our friends to whom God has en-:
trusted large wealth, who may, by the gift Of
tens of thousands or even millions of dollars,
forward this great and noble enterprise. To
such we earnestly commend the proposed uni
open their hearts to the magnificent oppor-
tunity which is offered them of doing what
their less favored brothers cannot do-of adding
their names to the roll Of those who have been
their race"
The Bishops made public the assignments of
episcopal visitations for the year. They are for
the West, and include the following:
