SUNDAY,
The City in Brief.


Six labor unions have already showed
up and they intend to make September l,
1890, red-letter day in this city.
What is known among Liberals as the
''ringn or combination ticket for dele
gates was elected at the primaries Friday;
at least enough "ring'' members, pledged
beforehand, were elected to insure the car
rying out OF the programme agreed upon a
year or more ago. The ''ring'' won in the
preliminary skirmish, greatly to the dis
gust and disappointment of several hun
dred voters who do not believe that even
in politics 1.-The end iustifies the means" Il
the means employed to bring about results
are wrongful and unusual.

several tickets were presented. One
of them was known as the temperance
prohibition ticket, and the ward-workers
of the ''ring," at and around the polling
places, were careful to impress that fact
upon the minds of all who came to vote.
Well, the so-called prohibition ticket was

AS stream cannot rise higher than its
source, it is needless to expect that dele
gates to political convention will select
candidates that are better than the power
to which they owe their own election.
The temperance element, which includes
the preachers, Sunday school teachers,
Sabbath observers, ETC., got badly left at
the primaries and were denied a voice in
the county convention. Will the ticket
nominated suit them so well that they will
vote it!

The Ogden Natural Gas and Oil company
are so confident of finding natural gas in
paying quantity that they ask for fran
chise to lay distributing pipes in our
streets. With the powerful machinery
which the company are nsw erecting, il
will not take long to determine whether
their hopes are well founded or not. The
gentlemen who are carrying on this ex.
pensive experiment are worthy of en-
couragement and every good citizen will
uphold their hands.
The taking of the census of Ogden under
and by authority of the city council will
commence tomorrow morning.
1t is not thought tnat the committee on
laws of the city council, to whom was re-
ferred the petition for the establishment
of market house at some convenient cen
trail place. will have any difficulty in seeing
their way clear to recommending the
granting of the petition. Such q place
would be an advantage and convenience to
the producer, as well as the purchaser.
All cities of any account have a central
market place, and why not Ogdenl
Let's have market house, where fresh
fruits and vegetables and eggs and dairy
products can be produced from first hands
thus avoiding the payment Of middlemen's
profits. The producer would be better
paid and the consumer would get more for
his money.
