SECTION XI.-ASSAULT AND SIEGE OF
THE CONFEDERATE STRONGHOLD.

THE CONFEDERATE STNONGHOLDs
Attwo p. m, May 10, an assault was made
on the Confederate works at Vicksburg.
This assault was unsuccessful so far as
capturing the stronghold was concerned,
but resulted in giving the Federals an ad-
vanced position, which position was made
secure by the use of the spade the sHc-
ceeding night.
Believing that the Confederates would
not hold out against another determined
assault, a second one was ordered at ten a.
M, May %.
This was opened by terrific cannonade
from all the Federal batteries; following
this was an incessant rattle Of nlusketry.
It was known at the hospital this charge
was to be made, and the constant boom
of cannon and continual roll of musletry
firing after ten in the forenoon, all knew
would soon bring in frightful harvest of
mangled and wounded.
The slain would, of course, for the time
at least, be left on the field.
About two p. M, through the trees was
seen a long train Of ambulances approach
ing, all heavily loaded with mangled
humanity. Upon reaching the hospital
grounds, two or three ambulances were
backed up at once, and the wounded lifted
or assisted out,
One OF the first that the writer assisted
in taking from the ambulance was q tall,
slender man, who had received terrible
wound in the top Of his head, q minnie
ball had, SO to speak, plowed its way
through the skull, making ragged, GAP
ing wound, exposing the brain for three or
four inches.
He lived but a moment after removal
from the ambulance.

But the new base upon the Yazoo gave

or were too strong to yield TO Mr..
McCoURT's monopoly, that the theatre was
able to offer any attractions to the public.
The opera house having burned down and
Mr.. McCoURT, who has been here for
several days, having become satisfied that
the WALKERS are not likely to rebuild as
an opera house, an agreement has been
entered into between the theatre people
and the gentleman named under which the
theatre becomes member of the circuit
The contract, it is understood, stretches
over a term of years, and will, we do not
doubt effectually prevent the erection of
another theatre here for at least several
years.
The theatre management promise numer-
Gus improvements during the present sum
mer. and are pledged to put the house in
the condition that its increased patronage
will demand.
The burning of the opera house was not
only loss to the owners but was the loss
of fine public building, and can only be
regretted by every inhabltant of the city.
But it is fortunate that Notwithstanding
the loss we still have theatre, which is
justly celebrated as one of the best and
most comfortable in the west
We cannot refrain from congratulation
that this house, which rumors have con-
signed to demolition, is about to enter upon
career of renewed and unexampled pros
perity that must secure for it new lease
of life.

THE FLAG DISGRACED.

Under this head the st. Louis Republican,
on the morning of the 5th, struck straight
from the shoulder, in the following edito-
rial:
The Fourth of July is celebration of the
declaration that government derives all its Just
powers from the consent of the governed. but
the Republican party celebrated its Fourth of
July by putting on the tag star which stands
for Acknowledgement, for test oaths, and for the
denial 10 the governed of power to take any
part in government
Idaho is a rotten borough cut out of waste
government land as part of the gerrymander
by which the Republican party has packed
the Senate and is seeking to pack the electo-
real college. This is shameful, but it is most
shameful that in addition the country should
have been committed TO the test oath Forni-
cation. adultery bigamy, polygalny and all
forms OF uncleanness are disgraceful incident
of human nature, but they are not as disgrace
ful IS the oppression of weakness by strength
on which depends government against the con-
sent OF the governed. the government of Idaho
is against the consent ofthe governed "a despot
ism which renders them infamous without trial,
and puts them to the rack OF conscience. where
they must either accept Acknowledgement and
civil servitude or perjure themselves, thus rem
deringdhemselves Liable to penal servitade.
Many Gisgraceful things have been done in
tins country since the Declaration of Indepen-
dence but among them none have been more

infamous in principle than this Republican act

To-MORROW,s Duty.

The Liberal party is posing as the party
of free schools.
It's record is that it has been opposed TO
them. The Mormon trustees, in other
days. have refrained from imposing taxes
to support free schools largely because it
was known that the non-Mormons would
not send their children to schools con-
Quoted by Mormon trustees and to tax
them under the circumstances would be
unjust
When, in later years, the necessity
Tor free schools has increased and
they have become possible by in
crease of population and wealth. efforts
have been made to establish them and these
efforts have been resisted in the school
meetings and the courts by the party that
now poses as the party of free schools For
the same reason, because that party has not
been In control, it has almost uniformly re-
sisted and voted against the imposition of
taxes to improve school facilities by the
erection and equipment of buildings. The
university has thus been seriously Grip
pied.
But now things have changed. The Lib
erals are in power, or hope to be, and they
are heard to proclaim themselves from every
street corneras the only friends of free ed
ucation
We are informed that 10 per cent of the
schoo. population of the city are of Peo-
ple's party families.
Their parents should have interest
enough in the election to morrow to go to
the polls and vote for the men of their
choice for the high aud important position
OF school trustees. Their election means a
wise administration of school affairs in this
city and the establishment of graded sys-

Tor education to our youth.
The election of the Liberals means Lib

tractors. Liberal extravaganza and Liberal
influences.

THE THEATRE IN THE SILVER CIRCUIT

A year or so ago it became evident to the
Salt Lake public that the opera house,
which had never been successful and had
even been closed for several years, was en-
tering upon career of unusual prosperity.
1t had become firmly fixed in the minds of
the people that The architectural defects of
the house rendered it unequal to compete
with the theatre for public support. twas
currently ruinored that theatrical people
preferred the older house and were often
driven almost to mutiny at being compelled
10 play in the smaller, less comfortable and
less attractive place.
IL was, therefore, surprising to see the
opera house spring so suddenly and so
strongly into the favor of amusement-lov-
ing people ami of the profession.
But large measure of this increased
popularity was due 10 the fact that Mr..
PErgR McCoUKT, the manager of the Tabor
opera house, in Denver, and the NAPOLEON
of the mysterious "Silver Circuit pur-
chased from MIR. BURGESS the exclusive
right to book attractions for the house.
M. McCouRT controls a large number of
western theatres and opera houses, in this
manner, and is thus able to dictate to com
panies in what towns and at what houses
they shall appear 1t was only to the fact
that there are some companies who were

OLD FOLKS FETE.

One of these DAYS the gentlemen who
took it into their heads dozen or fifteen
years ago to constitute themselves COM
mittee to provide for the entertainment of
the aged, will grow old. We hope there
will be unusual delay in the bust
ness, and that the crossing of the line
which places them on the side with the
sold foIks'' viii be put off many years.
But when the time shall arrive and the
committeeman shall don the varicolored
badges, indicating the decades to which
they belong, if the community does not
skill them with kindness" it will be be-
cause the community's heart has turned to
stone and memory has gone.
OF all orr fete days there is none lovelier
than that which has come to be known as
Old Folks day. There is none that gets
deeper into the heart; none that tells of
purer or truer civilization. 1t discovers.
brings cut and develops the better human
ity that is in our natures, and calls forth
some of the nobler sentiments and instincts
which make the race admirable and at
times even lovely. The community which
gives itself up, even for only one or two
DAYS in the year, to the entertainment of
the aged and broken must DE largely
Christian; it will receive full reward here
in the consciousness of having done
good.
The HERALD learns that the annual fete
of Tuesday promises to assume grander
proportions than any of its predecessors,
IN the number of guests and in the gener
osity and heartiness with which the public
has entered into the spirit of the occasion.
Not less than thousand women
and men who have passed the

THE ELECTION.

In all The HERALD has said during the
school campaign not one word has re-
hected on candidates Of the Liberal party
for positions on the board of education.
Our contention has been and is that it will
be better for the youth of the city if the
schools continue 10 be conducted on non
Becterian and non partisan lines. Since
we have had public or district schools here
care has been exercised to keep them free
from politics and religion, as the law COM
mands. This mas been done in the face of
the fact that the Overwhelming majority of
the parents of the children attending these
schools were members of a certain
church and belonged to a certain political
party, The parents were in harmony with
the American theory and practice regard
Ing the public schools Whenever it was
their desire that their offspring should be
instructed in matters of religion the chill
dren were placed in schools where religi-
ous teaching was included in the course.
1t viii be better for the children if this
order of things shall be continued and the
schools held free from the political and re-
ligious preiudices which are so pronounced
In this community.
The Peoples party has shown in its long
control of the schools that it can be nom
partisan. On the other hand the Liberals
have carried their partisan and religious
hates into everything. We find these
hates and prejudices in every department
of government and in every office under
Liberal control. They are manifest in the
district schools which have fallen into the
hands OF the party, where, in every in
stance, teachers have been selected be-
cause they were opposed to the Mormons
in religion and in politics Schools have
materially deteriorated in excellence
and lost in membership through
unwise partisan changes of teachers
Some of the most fiourishing and prosper
Gus of our district schools have degenerated
into third rate affairs from no other cause
than the replacing of competent and we'll
liked teachers with others whose religious
and political sentiments were radically OPP
posed to those of the parents of the child
rem. If the Liberals shall succeed at the
polls on Monday every district school in
the city will be opened next September
with a teacher carefully selected on &C
count of his enmity towards the fathers
and mothers of three-fourths of the child
rem in Salt Lake. Every one of the teach
ers who belongs tothe Peoples party or is
member of the Mormon church will have
TO go, and one part of the instruction in the
schools will be to lead the pupils away
from the belief of their parents. Already
prominent men in the Liberal campaign
have been negotiating with anti Mormon
teachers for city schools, promising them
situations III the event of party victory
tomorrow. When The HERALD says this
it knows whereof it speaks.
Our only desire in the premises is that
the rights of parents may be protected, the
children guarded in their education, and the
schools maintained on a proper plane We
know it will be best for all if the People
shall retain control

meeting house stood, on condition that the
ecclesiastical organization would relinluish
its claim to that part on which the old
meeting house, or schoolhousc, stood.
Thus, while the church had practically
donated to the school district the land on
which the schoolhouse now stands. the
Liberals attempted, by means of legal
technlcality, to get possession of the meet
ing house also for school building.
1t is the same in nearly all the districts
The Peoples party have furnished the land
and built the first schoolhouses by dona-
ton. Within the last few years several
schoolhouses have been built in this city
by taxation, and these recent levies of
school taxes represent all the Liberals
have paid for erecting schoolhouses.
Two years ago the Peoples party of the
Eleventh ward voted the tax to erect the
fine school building they now have. The
Liberals, as usual, opposed the tax, and,
carrying the case into court, would have
kept that district without good school
house for an indefinite period The only
thing to do was to compromise with the
Liberals or go without schoolhouse. The
People preferred the former, and paid the
Liberal directors 5000, every cent black
mail, legitimate enough on the part of the
People but rather contemplate on the part
of the Liberals to get the latter to stop the
tedious lawsuits. Soon after, at Liberal
meeting in that ward, the Liberals de-
clared, without sign of shame, that the
credit of building that house was due to
them.
But space is worth something. We could
fill the paper with examples like the fore
going. And now that the free school bill
has become a law and there will be good
deal of money to handle, the Liberals are
ready to make their usual rush to the feast.
All they want is chance to spend the tax
money. viii they get it. That depends
entirely upon the registered voters of the
city and the choice of the ballots they make
at to-morrow's election. Vote for tried and
trusted men, whom the People, and they
only have nominated

Tue PEOPLES party has made no cam
paign; it has beat no drums, fired no rock

speeches; it has been quiet while the oppo-
sition was blatant and abusive. But the

pect every man to do his duty tomorrow
as faithfully as though he had been
drummed and harangued nightly for the
past month. Every registered voter in the
party who loves his children and wants
them to be educated in good, non partisan
schools, viii not fail to go to the polls and
cast ballot for the nominees of the party.
