THERE is something of the old time
 vigor and courage in the platform of the
 California Republicans. Of late elements
 have grown up ID both parties which
 toady to the German vote. the Irish
 vote, the French, English, and Italian
 vote; to the prohibition vote, and to
 the extreme whisky vote, ard to almost
 every element but the purely American
 vote. The German and the Irish, the
 French, English, and Italians, all
 good citizens but there should not be
 that line drawn. They are Americans
 now or they are foreigners. Hence it is
 pleasing to note the absence of baits in the California convention. On the contrary
 the platform reads we'll when it says: "We denounce the shameful manner in
 which the democratic party has violated its pledges as to free ballots in many states" and resolves that the right of of every American voter, white or ebon, regardless of creed or politics shall be upheld. And further it reads. "We demand the most rigid exclusion of Chinese from this country and such re- striction as shall make it permanent; we favor legislation tending to arbitra- tion of controversy between capital and labor; approve the legislation on arid lands; declares public schools a ne- cessity to free government; and endorses the course of Speaker Reed, and says; "We repudiate the claims of the right of any number of members of congress to interrupt and delay its business by refusing to vote when required and we reiolce that the speaker and other members of the re- publican side of the house have been able to destroy the pretense that member can be present and absent at the same time."
 The course of President Harrison is commended and Secretary Blaine's atti- tude in the Behring Sea controversy applauded. The platform favors pen- sion legislation; eight hour law for work lngmen, and says that 50 cents on every 51O0 of taxable property is ample for state purposes. In closing the platform declares that in the interest of agri- and other industries of the we endorse the action of the republican members of congress in the passage of what is known as the "Silyer Bill" and that we favor a proper in crease of currency of the country to the sxtent demanded by its business" And further
 we believe the paramount object of he government should be to secure to he individuals the largest possible measure of civil and political liberty. The republican party in pursuance of his broad policy has successfully con- Iucted the government of the nation for | Iesrly thirty years, performing deeds f statesmanship and military achiev- nents worthy to live forever upon the rightest pages of history.
 Such a platform cannot fail to carry as state by large majority.

The Cause of Copper's Ad-
 vance.
Bradstreet's.

braQStreeC6- 6-
 Advancing prices and active demand in the copper market have been among the noteworthy features of mercantile operations during the past three months. Both in the United States and Europe the metal is going into consumption with unusual, if not unprecedented, rspidity. All sorts of electrical and mechanical concerns in which copper is employed ordinarily are making free use of it, notwithstanding its compars- lively high cost. Before the French syndicate began its operationsithe mar ket had dropped to ten cents per pound for Lake Superior ingot, with other de- scriptions on the same basis. At that price, consumption was large, and it was generally assumed that any decided rise in value would curtail the use of the metal. This assumption was tenn porarily borne out. The unnatural in- fation of values through the corner un- questionably reduced demand to some extent. Now, however, there is no coner, but trade IS on natural footing, and buyers are taking the metal for use without hesitation, notwithstanding the fact that it cost almost, if not quite as much as when the syndicate was at the height of its power. The American market has been strong lately at 161l cents per pound. So large sales have been made during the past season, and extensive and general demand for con- sumption at thls price, or few points lower, would have been deemed wholly out of the question three or four years ago.
 When the prices were rapidly advaac- ing from ten cents without any appar- ent reason therefore in the conditions of supply and demand the use of copper was restricted somewhat, though per haps not so much as was generally sup posed. Unusual quantities of old metal and of invisible supplies" generally were worked up, and there was conse- an accumulation of visible copper. During the past year the con- ditions have been exactly the reverse. The visible supplies have been sppar- ently reduced, and, with very heave and in some respects extraordinary con- the production of the mines has been more than taken. Produc- tion, moreover, have been and is steadily The American mines are to their full capacity, and yet the accumulated stores of copper are growing smaller and smaller.
 Lake Superior and other fine brands of copper seem to be apparently in better demand than the cheaper sorts. It is believed that no very great amount of the stocks accumulated by the French combination remsn undis- posed of. Spectators have taken ad- vantage of the situation as well as man. lfacturers. This, of course. tends to sustain the market, and predictions of sighteen cents and bets of twenty cents for lake copper within six months are not unhesrd of.

HERE is a little straw blown down from the time of good old Thomas lief ferson, whom all democrats delight to honor. Thomas says this: If particu- lar nations grasp at undue shares of ouI commerce and carrying, defensive and protective measures become necessary on the part of that nation whose marine resources are thus invaded, or it will be disarmed of its defense, its produc- tions will be at the mercy of the nation which has possessed itself of the means of carrying them, and its politics may be influenced by those who command its commerce.

Appeals Taken.

The papers in two appealed case:
from the Finst District Court have
been fled with Clerk Bache Of the
Supreme Court. They present q
popularity in the fact that the dis
trict attorney has appealed from an
order Of the court at Provo, sustain.
ing 4 demurrer to an Indictment.
One Of the cases is that OF the
People VS.. John Parman. The de-
PENDANT is accused Of an assault with
deadly weapon. The ofiense Is
alleged to have been committed on
December 81, 1889, in Utah County,
by firing a gun at one Dan 0'Brien.
The DEFENDANTS counsel interposed
a demurrer, setting up that "tbe In
dictment does not state any offense
with such particulars as TO time,
place, person and particulars as will
enable the defendant to understand
distinctly the characterof the oiiense
complained of, and to answer the
Indictment" This demurrer the
court sustained and an appeal was
taken.
The other case Is that Of the Peo-
pie VS.. Joseph w. Fairbanks, charged
with an assault with n deadly
weapon. The indictment alleges
that, on Feb. 10, 1890, in Sewer
County, with a club, an AK and a
pistol, the defendant assaulted one
Russell Kelly, giving no further
particulars. The demurrer 10 this
was the same as in the other case, as
was also the courts ruling and the
district attorneys action.

What is the Scheme

There is n furry among some of

The proposed National Bank of the

hibited in the business venture.

AN UNHAPPY GRANGER.
Is Caught BY a Couple Of Confidence
Men.

Yesterday a granger, who live:
less than a dozen miles south OF this
city, wac on his way home when he
was accosted by couple Of men.
One Of the latter informed him
that he was engaged in selling
watches, chains and rings. "FoT
instance, 1 put up this w-.ci foI
twenty dollars aud give the pur-
chaser a chance to guess which OF
these small boxes contains this forty
dollars in greenbacks." Sui0 the
action TO the word he put forty dol
lars into a small box, appearing to
allow the end OF a bill to stick out at
one corner. This was a bait The
granger was induced TO make a
guess three times, just for the fun OF
the thing. Each time he selected
the box containing the forty dollars
in bills. "Well, said the confidence
man, what / lose on you / may
gain on somebody else. Take this
chain for ten dollars and chance at
the prize"
The bait was seized. The result
was that the granger guessed the
wrong box. He got ten cents worth
Of chain and $3.50 worth Of ex-
perience. He called atour office this
morning, and expressed himself TO
the effect that ever since the
incident occurred his inclination
70 get up and kick himself
has been almost irresistible. He
wished the facts published as a
warning to other inpressible people
against the inslnuating wiles of
sharpers; shut for goodness sake
don't disclose my name. / am 50
ashamed Of the affair that have
not told my folks about it,
