In reviewing the commercial enter-
prises of this city, our list would be in
complete did It fail ~ mention the flour
ishing furniture business conducted by
these agreeable gentlemen. They have,
by long odds, the Oldest furniture house
m Wellington, having located here about
forty-eight years ago. Their store is sit
uatvd on South Main Street and both
proprietors are among the most reliable
and honorable citizens Of the town. They
are pleasant citizens to deal with and
sell goods at the very lowest prices. When
an article OF furniture is sold by them the
buyer can always rest assured that he has
not been deceived, that no misrepresenla-
tions have been made and that he has re
ceived the full value OF his money.
Messers Couch. also do upholstering and
repairing. Many times an old sofa or
chair can be made TO appear good as new
by being reupholstered and when the
readers OF THE ESTERPRIsE need anything
In this line this place should not belfor'
gotten. The store is widely known
throughout this and adjoining counties
aud people come from lar and near to
trade Another prominent feature of
Messers Couch's establishment is the un-
dertaking department This is the lar.

oughly conversunt with all the tender
and delicate duties OF funeral director

1t is, therefore, well to know upon whom
to depend and where To go in time Of
need, Owing to their long experience in
this line Of work, A. q. and q. L. Couch

this house from 18G9-83, when he went
west. He decided to return and took
charge of the house again two years
ago and has managed it ever since. The
American IS quite q historic house and
was built In 1888. During the war II was
the scene of an event that attracted atten-
tion for miles around. The citizens here
were nearly all abolltionists and when
some slave owners and deputy U. S Mar
shals had captured runaway slave and
were returning south with him, they
stopped here This was too much for the
populace and during the night mob
formed and forcibly took the unfortunate
colored man away, much to the chsgrin
and disgust of his captols. The House
contains thirty sleeping rooms and all are
light and airy and kept in the best con-
ditiOn for the accommodation OF guests

public and all the furnishings and equip
ment are modern and tasteful. The beds
are all first class, and nothing is more
relisbed by the tired traveller than good

spacious and well adapted TO their pur-
pUse while the parlor is commodiously
and neatly 1tted up. The table here is
one OF the best to be found anywhere and
supplied with the very best eatables the
market affords at all seasons. The help
employed is only that competent to thor
oughly master the duties. Mr., Wilcox is
splendid landlord and always looks
carefully after the comfort OF guests. He
is an ideal host aud the ENTERPRISE takes
pleasure in recommending this hotel to
the transient public. A large sam.
pie room is furnished and kept in the

TIE CHRISTMAS HERALD.

| THE CHRISTMAS HERALD has come to be
an Institution in this territory. 1t is Gag
erly looked forward to by the community
and is always warmly welcomed by all
| classes OF people. 1t is gotten I'D in the
interest of Utah, the object of the publish
ers and editors being to present fair and
truthful showing of what has been
achieved during the previous twelve
months and to indicate and to define the
prospects and possibilities of the future.
The aim is also to make the publication at
tractiye and entertaining as well as useful
and instructive.
Elsewhere in this paper viii be found
the announcement of TIE CHRISTMAS
HERALD for 1891. and a brief
outline is given of the contents of the pub
llcation. In this connection we may say
that the issues of past years. thousands of
copies Of which are still in existence, re-
tanned and priced in public libraries and
private dwellings-furnish a guarantee
that the number for this year will be
superior to its predecessors, just as each
issue has exceeded in attractiveuess those
which have preceded it. AS in the past
nome literature will form leading feature,
out the material interests of the city and
territory will not be neglected Competent
and careful writers are now in the field
collecting and arranging the material by
which to Illustrate the years achieve
ments. The intention is to cover the field
more thoroughly than ever before
In this connection it may be incidentally
stated that whilst the public has enter
tanned the idea that the year has not been
attended by the usual prosperity, the in
vestigations so far made indicate that Utah
has nothing of which to complain.
As usual, The CHRISTMAS HERALD will
greet the people on Christmas morning,
and we are certain it will be given the same
cordial reception which has characterized
its welcome in the years agone.

THE SILVER RESOLUTION.

me mining congress at Denver did itself
proud In its silver resolution. That reso-
luton has the true ring to it. There is no
party politlcs in it. There is no suggestion
OF temporizing. The convention took the
only position that an honest bi-metalist can
take, namely: Silver being constitutional
money metal it should have ali the rights,
powers and privileges of any other money
metal. The present law is humbug, if
not downright fraud, in that it makes
speculative commodity of silver with gov
eminent the chief Spectator deriving the
greatest interest from the dealings. We
are also glad that the congress sat down
upon the other vicious proposition
winch seems to have captvated
SO many otherwise sane men
the proposition to coin only Ameri-
can silver. 1t was ludicrous scheme.
because in the first place it could never
nave been carried into effect, and it was
vicious IN that it would have discredited
silver quite as much as the present law
does. What would be thought of law
which forbid the coinage of gold not dug in
the United Statesl
congress gave to silver, the nearly five
hundred delegates present being prac-
ideally unanimous. the outlook for free
coinage law may be regarded as somewhat
improved. The national legislature will
understand that the greet west is
united on the proposition, as is
the case with the south, party
politics having no influence in the
question. Unless we are mistaken
In our estimate of the Forthcoming Con-
gress among the first bills introduced and
the earlier to be passed will be one pro-
ylding for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. 1t will probably be vetoed by
the President, but we are not certain that
the measure cannot be passed over the
veto, there being such powerful public
sentiment back of the Congressman. At
any rate, the Denver gathering has helped
the cause amazingly.
