AS WE LOOK AT IT.

After all said and done, there is moth
ing very Objectionable in the Demo-
cratic platform of 1864. 1t has been
claimed that the Democrats we're op-
posed to the war on the Southern
Democrats, when in fact they were op-
posed to the freeing of the slaves the
same as any other class of people, of
any other description of politics,
brought up and surrounded by the
same circumstances. While the man
cipation proclamation was just and
righteous, it is a fact that previous to its
declaration, President LINCOLN invari-
ably, in his conversation, referred to
the matter as war necessity. That he
had constitutional authority to free the
slaves was matter of supreme import
ance to President LINCOLN, and we
have no knowledge that he at any time
was in favor of the act only as the ne
cessities of the war made apparent.
1t is reported that the Americans in
London astonish the court aristocrats
there in their sparkling jewels and
aristocratic gowns.
All, mel how we can boast OF our
Republican simplicity, but after all the
HAMILTON idea of court etiquette is
considered by his heirs as the only
mode of recognition.
WIN. HARRISON, of Provo, says he is
selling fruit cans and all other articles
of tinware at the same price as he did

SIMPLE STULTIFCATION.

The Enquirer can crowd more mis-
statements into half column than any
other paper I ever read or heard OF, "
said a gentleman on the streets last
evening. This expression was called
forth by reading the editorial squibs
some of which are appended
Numbers of Democrats have an
nOunced Their intention of voting for
SUTHERLAND rather than for PIKE" "
"The almost universal opinion is
that the Republican ticket is a far
superior one to the Democratic tick
ct"
"PooR PAUL made dismal failure
of his attempted answer to Mr.. Herr.
Several more conversions to the Repub-
lican party was the result, of course.
And such likerot. Now the Enquirer,
blinded as it is by partisan prejudice,
does not believe its own assertions, and
certainly nobody else does. We dare
say it cannot mention one Democrat
who has said he would vote for GEO.
SUTHERLAND.
The Enquirer's idea of universal
must be pretty narrow. Next Tuesday
that paper will come out with some
fimsy excuse for the sorry defeat of
the Republicans in this county, and
will then say though, it was mistaken
this time, at the next election it will
be alright.
1t is all right TO give courage to your
party, but when a paper makes such
statements as those above quoted ii
amounts to qualification unless the man
who writes them has 70 consequence.

before MCKINLEY was born. Conse-
quently the MCKINLEY bill is non-ef-
fective.
Now, if we take into consideration
the different reports of dealers, we
will become so confused at what the
MCKINLEY bill does, and does
not do, that if we CON
tinue our meditations, insanity in
its worst forms would certainly be the
result. But let us look at it from a
practical standpoint as it relates to cut
lery, and the same result must apply to
all other yocations. Go into any place
on Nassau street, New York, where cut
lery is held for sale, and enquire for a
pocket knife. You may be shown one
of German manufacture, and the price
Will be, say two dollars. You are a
protectionist, will presume, and you
want knife of home manufacture, be-
cause you are willing to contrib
ute something to home industry.
You are shown one, the counterpart of
the first, and you ask the price. Same
as the other, $500. You are surprised,
and the first thing you think of is, that
old protecrionist fable that protection
makes goods cheaper and wages higher
Then you say, II thought the domestic
manufacturers were going to send to
grass foreign competition, after the
passage of the MCKINLEY bill. You
will be informed then that the bill has
made no difference in the business only
as the purchasing price. The MCKIN-
LEY bill increases tie cost OF foreign cut
lery from 10 to 40 per cent, and to sup
pose that our sellers are not going
to take advantage of the per cent. and
make the purchasing price that much
more, would be to suppose that our
dealers are dying to do something for
the laboring classes Of America. Then
we have not heard that any more hands
have been employed in American
manufactures, and that better wages
are being paid on account of the Nc
KINLEY tariff, but the reverse has been
whenever a change has been made.

that something De done with it, and
moved that the supervisor be in
structed to fix the place.
Mr. GIaZier said that as the water
master had made the cess pool he
moved an amendment by inserting
the word "watermaster' instead Of
supervisor.
Some squabbling took place ON the
amendment but the original motion
prevailed.
Mr.. Maiben moved that the super
visor be instructed to clear the cobble
rock off J street, as that thorouChfare
was IN q horrible condition. People
would 60 a block out OF the way IN
preference to travelling ON it. He also
recommended he sprinkling OF j sire ct
toward the depot.
The question was put and the motion
prevailed.
Mr.. L ddiard spoke of the dimension
stones which had been placed on the
streets to determine the grade. In
many places they We're uncovered and
through wagons passing over them
they were being broken up. He moved
that the supervisor be instructed to
cover them with gravel. The motion
prevailed.
Mr.. Henrichsen spoke of the condi-
ton OF b street and thought that some
thing should be done with it. Referred

Council then adjourned.

OH, YES; "SHOULD HE BE-"

The Enquirer attacks the Herald cor
respondent of this city for saying that
the Republican candidate for county
superintendent of schools is not a regis
tered voter and will not be in it. 1t
says: Should he be elected he will be
on hand to take the oath" In the first
place that should he be is very well put
in, for he will not receive the highest
number of votes. But suppose" he
should, will he take the oath of
Office? We refer the Enquirer and
the legal gentleman who is on its ticket
to the school law which requires the
county superintendent to be "register-
ed voter in the county" We suggest that
our friends read little law before 60
ing (2) to the Legislature. We appre-
hend that as soon as our Republican
friends get posted they viii find some
excuse for dropping Prof. CLUFF's name
from their ticket, and substituting some
eligible man.

COMPARE THE -FOUR.

Consider the Jour candidates for the
Legislature from Utah county, and
compare their standing and ability
with those of any other ticket, and you
cannot but conclude they are the men
for the place, and that with those four
in our Legislative halls Utah county
viii be well represented. a lawyer, a
doctor, a merchant and farmer
No one can dispute that Mr.. KING is
the most popular man in Utah county
for the Legislature. He is in the van
of his profession. and will be a ready,
able and willing legislator But that
body should not be made en-
tirely or considerably of law
yers. 1t is highly appropriate
there should be some of that profes-
sion, but it is known that too many
lawyers are almost a curse to leglsla-
ton. 1t is generally conceded that
Congress has too many lawyers, and not
enough men from the more practical
walks of life. The Democrats have
nominated a doctor for a place in the
Legislature. They haven't gone down
the line either to choose their man, but
have plucked him from the very head.
Who is better fitted for that place than
w. r. PIKE? No one has been in more
homes OF the people than he,
and few know their wants bet
ter. Upon questions OF quaran-
tine, and regarding the asylum, the
chief public institution of the terri
tory, DR.. PIKE is better posted than any
other man within our borders. His
previous training for years, and the
fact thathe has travelled a great deal,
added to his all around qualifications,
makes him the fittest man in this
county for the House of Representa-
tives.
Mr.. IRVINE, of PaySon, is specially
fitted, too, by his training and occupa-
ton. A railroad man for many years,
but now in business and acquainted
with several walks of life, he fills a
necessary place in tie Legislature.
Now comes the representative of the
chief occupation of our county-the
farmer. Mr.. CUNNINGHAM knows as
much of irrigation, of the wants
and necessities of that class as anyone
among us. He is typical farmer, but,
CNCINxArUs like, has been called from
his plow to rule thriving city. AS a
member of the city council, as a school
trustee, as farmer, and now as may
or, he has been most successful We
agree with the Enquirer that there is
no comparison between him and his
contestant In the same city. MIR, Gun
ningham will get two votes to the
young mans one in their own town,
there being that much difference irA
their popularity. If it had h.--asss4suE
ured out before hand there could not
have been found four such representa-
tive men in the county of such diversi-
fed talent and ability.
The people will approve the Demo-
cratic ticket with their votes on the
third of August most emphatically.

\ Fifty-three Round Fight.

CHICAGO, July PA prize fight for
1900 a side, Queensbury rules, two
ounce gloves, took place tonight in
this city, the exact location being kept
a secret. The contestants were Ed
German, of Columbia, and Billy Hawk
ins, OF St Louis, late of San Francisco.
German was the victor in the
fifty-third round, after struggle
conceded to be one of the best ever
seen here. 1t is said fully $40 900
changed hands on the result. German
weighed 1876 and Hawkins $50, German
fought on the defensive at first In
the fourth round he suddenly thrust out
his left and landed heavily on Haw-
kins neck, sending his adversary down
Ike Il log. Hardly had he recovered
when German again landed, this time
with his right, and down went Haw-
kins. During the succeeding rounds
Hawkins tried for GOrman's ribs and
stomach, but the little fellow proved
himself a clever dodger, and in the
ninth round he once more got in a
smasher on Hawkins neck. In the
tenth Hawkins get first blood by
landing hard one On Gorman's
nose. From then till the fiftieth the
tight was fast and furious, with hOnors
about even, both men bleeding freely,
and presenting a horrible appearance.
Hawkins was beginning to weaken rap
idly, and when the ifty-third round
began he was almost done. while Cor
man seemed to freshen. Finally Cor.
man landed again on Hawkins neck,
laying him out, and Hawkins seconds
threw UP the sponge.

WEAK AND WAYERING.

PROF. BRIMHALL came out last even
ing with a second denial of the quota
tion THE DISPATCH made from his re-
marks in our offic e, and of the affidavit
OF Mr.. SAAIUELsoN made in support OF
The DISPATCH. He now says that what
he did say was, there was no other
man in the Democratic Party, better able
to fill the Office of county superinten-
dent than DE. A. WILSON" But he
makes "a sorry OUT in trying to break
down the strength there is against him.
The words we quoted were used by the
gentleman just as we have said, and
just as Mr.. SAMUELsoN has said under
oath, and we heartily regret that Mr..
B, has not the moral strength to stand
by them. We are willing to leave it
with the people to judge the truth.
We find now that Mr. BRIMHALL has
expressed the same opinion to others
that he gave vent to in our Office.
Dozens have heard him say in the last
month that the office of county super
intendent should not be brought into
party politics, and that he was in favor
of the present incumbent. He has also
asserted that he intended to write up
that idea; but now we find him going
back on all this and subjecting his
better convictions to party feeling
or the party lash. Mr.. B. becomes
s,...a.4 : he says we ''i nsinuatingly
make an effort to impute sinister
motives to gentleman of character
istic integrity because he is a Re-"
cam" whatever that NE" ,nbli

stated, unreservedlY and emphatically
that, in his opinion, Mr. E. A. Wilson

Of county superintendent of schools

a daisy specimen of the dark ages
in the form of man 1--WE supposel who
edits a patent inside land almost out
side) sheet at Ogden. The name of
this paper is the Commercial, and here
is a specimen of the chunks of wisdom
it is indulging in lately:
Ii Mormons are sincere now, they
have forever, as church, forsaken pol
ygamy. If they are sincere, they have
forever abandoned the claim that the
Mormon church should meddle in poll
ties. And if they have done these
things, and are resolved to be loyal to the
Republic and true to morality, there
is no reason whatever why they
NAV not join the Liberal party.
And if the MormonS care to prove
that they are sincere, if they really
mean it when they say polygamy is
dead and that church and state treason
is abandoned, there is no way they can
do it so well as to plant themselves on
the Liberal platform. Ii they are hon
est in their late profession why can't
they come right out i'll black and white,
in the light Of day, and say SO?
We understand that the Commercial
is doing more to reduce the ranks OF the
Liberal party by such effusions of rot
as the foregoing than any effort the
other papers OF the city are making,

pie of Utah, and especially Ogden, that

SECONDATTEMPT.
To Assassinate the President
Of France.
This Time the Perpetrators Adopt the
Internal Machine as the Instrument of
Death But With Unsuccessful Results.

PARIS, July 25,-It became known so-
day that an attempt has been made to
assassinate Nine. Carnot, the wife Of
the President of the French republic.
She received a package from Toulon
which contained what appeared to be a
Roman Catholic mass book. Upon ex-
animation OF this present the leaves
apparently were stuck together with
vanish or mucilage. This caused q
still more careful examination to be
made, and it was found that the inte-
rlOr of the book had been cut aWav at
ter manner sometimes adopted by
smugglers, and the book filled with a
powerful illuminate powder No clue.
according to the police, has been fOund
as to who sent her the internal machine,
although the post0tiice and police an
thorities of TouIon are said to be ON
the track Of the perpetrators OF the out
rage.
No reasons are known lsr this
attempt upon the life of Nine
Carnot and the conclusion ar
rived at is that the wDuld-be assassin
really intended to take the lite cf tile
President, and supposed package to
Mime Cannot would be carlessly opened
by the Presi ent, VI hilr package ad-
dressed to ham hlluselr might be- care
fully opened by he attendant Of course.
THIS is tne only thing.
The report oi the attempted assassi-
nation is the talk of Paris, aHd has
caused considerable indignation. Some
people think this alleged attempt
upon the Presidents life with the re
cent defeat of the French government
in the Chamber of Deputies, with the
Boulangist agItators with Alsace ~Lor-
rhine passport regulations debate, and
other similar matters, but it would
not be surprising if the whole matter
turned out to be the work of a danger

PARIS, July 95.-The report which
prevailed in this city to-day, to the ef-
feet that an attempt had been made to

the attempt was not made on the life
of Mime. Carnot, but on the wife of M.
