A Warming

The Maternal democracy will please
take notice of the following which made
part of the proceedings of the convention
of delegates of the twelve (?) clubs OF the
white people of this parish which met at
Breaux Bridge last week, and frafle their
next platform accordingly if they do not
want to lose the parish of st. Martin.
Hear what they say:
Being satisfied that the democratic
party has done all that was necessary as
for the purpose of asserting our superiO-
rity as a race, and of securing that good
government which is protection TO our
selves and our homes; now we endorse and
adopt without reservation the great prin-
ciples of the democratic party, and will
uphold to the best of our ability those
principles, SO Tong as not conflicting With
the purposes Of our organization"
Italics ours.
Do they means to say that if the demo-
cracy does not comply with the above
they will kick and bolt?

cretary, although the proceedings are
published. The clubs which are no
thing more thah the regulators, as far as
we know, are out of existence, and this
convention looks more like political
fOOl-catcher than anything else; or the
names of the delegates, or at least that OF
the secretary would have been attacked to

diculous. there is not the least danger of

man doubts his superiority over the ne

political aspirants being left, and this is
what troubles them the most. and to
prevent this. it is necessary TO keep a

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
Great Things Expected of the Reorganized
Business Association and Board of Trade.

The final work in the REORGANIZATION of
the Ogden chamber of commerce was done
at directors meeting Saturday night;
when gentleman from Omaha was
lected secretary in place of j. H. Knauss,
who received two votes, five being cast for
the successful candidate and one for E.
A. Littlefeld, or eight votes altogether
cut Of d total of thirteen directors The
result OF the election of secretary was the
outcome of compromise, but it is hoped
that the choice will prove wise and Judi
clons one, as upon the intelligent work the
secretary VIII IN great degree depend
the efficiency of the cha nber of commerce.
The other officers Of the chamber are well
qualified for the positions with
which they have been honored. The
president, a. H. Nelson, is an old citizen
and an active real estate man; the first
vice-president, A. H. Swan, is at the head
OF the street railway company and is a man
who has the ability to handle large financial
schemes and interest capitalists in Ogden;
Sidney Stevens, well-known business
man of this city and North Ogden, is sec
ond vice presioent He has been an active
member OF the board since its organiza-
ton. The treasurer, G. Il. Hank, is also
successful man of business, formerly en-
gagged IN stock raising in Nevada He has
resided in this city for some six or seven
years. He is a director in the Utah Ma
tional bank, is engaged in horse raising in
Wyoming, and has large landed interests in
Ogden and vicinity.
The new board will not be called upon to
work miracles, but it will be expected of
them that they will make Ogden
forge ahead as never before
in her history. An opera house
is a crying necessity. The people look to
the chamber to supply this want Manu-
factories of many kinds are needed. With
out them this city can never reach the high
position that her advantages and resources
have marked out for her to occupy 1t
will be the duty of the new board to show
these advantages to the world, and in some
cases to interest the citizens to take stock
in enterprises that if fostered for time
would in the end prove blessing to the
community as well as source of profit to
those who engage in them. If the chamber
shall receive the moral and financial sup
port of the citizens generally, the limit of
the good that it will be able to accomplish
during the year to come cannot now be
foretold.

Sunday Closing Order

Sunday was q quiet day in the junction
city. Saturday night and up to o'clock
the next morning the saloons and gambling
houses were running wide open, and every
thing was hilarity, Notwithstanding the
raging storm OF snow and sleet Early
Sunday morning the order went forth from
headquarters to saloon proprietorS to close
their doors at o'clock and not re open
them again for business until the next
morning. The order was, probably, pretty
generally observed. Doubtless there were
some who, counting upon immunity from
prosecution, kept open house, but not an
open front door.
There is one thing about the Sunday
closing business that deserves to be ad-
justed. The application of the ordinance
should be uniform That Is, either all
saloons should be closed absolutely or none
of them should. There are degrees of re,
speciality attached to drinking places.
Some of them are resorted to by respect
able men because they (the saloons) are
caraled on in an orderly manner.
Other places are mere deadfalls, into
which respectable man never enters
unless enticed thither while under the in
nuence OF too frequent rotations. If the
better class OF saloons are compelled to
close, or to close OF II o'clock at night and
on Sundays, as the ordinance provides, then
tnere is every reason, IN Justice and equity,
why the low dives which shelter criminals
and make the day and the night hideous
with debanchery aud vulgar sounds, should
be compelled to regard the letter and the
spirit OF The ordinance, even if it should
become necessary TO arrest and fine their
proprletorS as often as once day. If the
Ogden city council have not the nerve to
do right in this matter by treating all alike,
then there remains only one thing to- be
done and that is to repeal the city ordin-
aace and give every saloon man an equal
chance to make money to pay for his
license.

from James Andrews an overcoat valued

he is kept steadily at work in the chain

John Hart was charged by City Marshal
Metcalf with using abusive language and
fighting on Twenty-fourth street, thereby
disturbing the peace and quiet of the sur
rounding neighborhood, for which offense
he was fined $40 and costs.
