LET Us HAVE PEACE!

We believe the spectacle of the F'lambeau
CLUB on tho streets once more created more
sadness than enthusiasm. II reused mem
cries OF that campaign of hate, strife, Bit
terness, toll and expenne, a campaign the
Ike OF which we trust we may never again
see in Salt Lake. What this community
wants now more than anything else on
earth is peace, good feeling and business
unanlmity; we believe we speak the senti-
ments of the great bulk OF the law-abiding
and order-loving citizens of the city when
we say that the radical and rampant
speeches of Friday nights meeting arouse
only feeling of WEAKNESS and contempt
AS one of those speakers truly said, some
men live too long. What pity it is that
when the hitherto warning elements of our
, community can join hands as they SO beau
tlfully did In the cemetery yesterday, there
should be rabld, fire eating faction seek
ing by every means known to man to in
fame the passions again, arouse the old
hatreds and kirdle anew the flames of big
otry and prejudice. Let US have peace, or
II we must take up arms again, let it be to
unite all decent elements Of the community
IN one phalanx to protest against and for
ever rid ourselves Of the pests who make
politics trade and means to keep pros
porous city in perpetual state of ferment
and strife.

"A PUBLIC CRIME"

| The great Democrats and the great
| journals or the nation are watching with
keen interest the political movement in
! q tab. From the Democratic statesmen and
/ editors ara coming words of encourage
ment. To-day this territory has, scattered
| throughout the republic, ten influential
! friends for every one that could be mus
! tered ten days ago. Indifference has been
! followed by interest, lethargy by activity.
and from all points come assurances that a
determined effort will be put forth from
this time to accord to Titan and her people
the political rights SO long denied to them
The danger which threatened that the Re
| publicans would use Utah as they did
| Wyoming and Idaho, has at last been seen
| by Democratic statesmen, hence the well
come winch they extend to the party here
which has set out to rescue the territory
before the scheme has progressed so far
that rescue will be impossible. The cheer

! fame and influence which have been pub
lished during the week have told the story
! of how the local movement is received
abroad, and now the newspapers are COM
ing along and they tell the same story.

ready been reprinted, and there is not one
but breethes spirit of rejoicing that at last

lous political condition and is soon to oc

A REPUBLICAN THEoRIsT.

The young and immature Republican
organ is soft enough 70 say that the bounty
OF cents pound on sugar produced in
this country will be paia 10 the refuers,
who will collect the bounty and distribute
it among the growers of beets, sorghum
and other products from which the sugar
may be extracted"
That IS, the government will ray the
money to the rich On the theory that they
in turn will hand it over to the laboring
poor. 1t may well be feared that this in
direct way of helping the farmer by pay
ing money to the reiners, who are banded
{ togethersinto trust, and then leaving it to
their honest or charitable inclinaticns as to
whether they shall hand it over TO the
farmer or not, will not be bowling sue
cess.
The junior organ has always some Wis
ionary theory of this kind to advocate, and
though it never has facts, it still clinss to
its theories. "a specializing fellow" said
MEPHIsToPHELEs, lis like a beast on q
blasted heath, led round in circles by an
evil spirit"
Thus, the junior organ knows that though
the trust received II cents Il pound protec-
ton on refined sugar over and above the
3 cents tax 1t paid On raw materials, it
only paid the worlzmen two-tenths of a
cent pound for refining the sugar. So
when it says the half cent pound protec-
tion on refined sugar under the present law
is proper to enable the trust to pay the diff
ference in wages between this country and
Germany, it knows, or should know, if it
ever heard of volume called the United
States census, that the total wages paid in
refining sugar is less than half this protec-
ton. The total wages paid in sugar REIN
ing in this country is two-tenths of cent
per pound, and the junior organ SAYS that
fve-tenths of cent clear gift must be
given to the rehners in order to enable
them to pay the difference in wages between
this country and Germany. The Junior
organ is a great theorist.

RESOLVED TO DISSOLVE.

We don't care whether a man is a Demo-
crat, Republican or Liberal, if he be only
endowed with common sense and honesty.
he viii be forced to admit that the resolu-
tons passed at the meeting of the Peoples
party county committee bear every impress
OF loyalty and sincerity. There is no sign
OF acrimony in single word or sentence
There Is no symptom of mental reservation.
There is no effort at dictation. The vari-
Gus committees represented at the meeting
being thoroughly convinced that the neces-
sity for the continuance of both local par
ties has passed, simply do their part in dis
solving an organization that is no longer
demanded under the changed condition of
things. No more patriotic utterance has
ever been spread upon the records than
that which bears the signature of Chair
man RICHARDS. Hear the close of the doc
ument:
With the hope that former animosities NAV

mote the growth, development and progress of

founded in the great American desert; now

RESOLVED, That it is the sense of the Peo-
pies county central committee, the precinct
committees and the officers OF the political
clubs in Salt Lake county, that the People s
party should be dissolved, and its members left
free to ally themselves with the national mar
ties, according TO their individual preferences.
Had the same wise counsel and broad
conception, instead of chronic prejudice
and insuperable luminosity, prevailed in the
Liberal meeting, we would have equally
reioiced IN it; but it was scarcely to be ex.
pected The Republican party, outwit-
ted and outnumbered, hopes to make last
desperate stand like the pirate crew that
it is, sailing under false colors.

INVESTIGATE FOR YoURsELygs

Now that the Peoples party in this
county has been dissolved, and is simply a
matter of history, THE HERALD asks its
ne-time members to study and investigate
the principles of the two great national
political organizations, with the view to
casting their lot with one or the other of
these parties We ask them to read the
histories of the parties and learn for what
each has been struggling during the century
of the nations life. We ask them to grasp
the central idea which has been pursued

HAYES MEMORY.

MIR. RUTHERFORD b. HAYES, Whilom Pres

thing to see the mind of any man give way.

memory is concerned, we opine it is no
poorer than it was in the memorable DAYS

Once more we give space to a coununj-
cation from Mr.. CUMMINGS, who claim
that our remarks did injustice to him.
Here is what the paper submitted BY
Messrs. SMITH and CUMMINGS said.
we cannot be Democrats because we believe
there is not spot on earth in which it is atthe,
unlawful or improper for the great and glorious
government of the United States to exert ite

We are content TO let the reader iudpe
whether or not we misrepresented the
meaning conveyed by the words of these
gentlemen. Their contention was that The

OF society. We also invite those voters
who are to-day without party to discuss
among themselves or with others. the pro-
LESSONS and principles of Democrats and
Republicans.
IHE HERALD is simply and purely DEN
ocratc IN its principles, its mission, its
ambition and its efforts, and we would that
every voter in this territory were sincere
member of the Democratic party; yet, we
do not fear the investigation and inquiry to
which we cordially invite the members of
the late Peoples party. Our confidence in
the intelligence, the discrimination and the
good Judgment of the people of Utah is
such that we have no fear OF the result of
the study which we ask them to make. We
o"'eve the principles Of Democracy are SO
if~arly in harmony with those of the great
majority making up this community that
the many will at once come within
the Democratic fold and here
DO valiant battle for the cause
OF human rights. Our faith in Democratic
doctrines is so well confirmed that it will
astonish US if we learn that any consider
able number OF former Peoples partisans
shall unite with the Republicans and thus
seek to make lastingly potent here those
principles of government which have been
applied with such cruel force and effect in
this territory to the very people we are
addressing.
The HERALD asks these people to be
deliberate in forming their Judgment, to
judge wisely and for themselves Let no
man make his opinion yours, but let princi-
pie clearly interpreted and well under
stood be your guide in determining your
course with reference to the parties. We
are content to leave the question of party
utilization with the intelligent citizens of
this territory, confident that the great ma
1orlty will cast their lot with the mighty
Democracy which promises the best. the

eminent ever devised by man for man.

THE RIGHT THING.

The Peoples party county and precinct
committees and officers of the political clubs
met on Friday evening, and as announced
IN Saturdays HERALD, adopted resolutions
that the Peoples party should be dissolved.
Every right thinking man, no matter what
his party politics may be, will applaud the
committees for this action, declaring it was
the proper course TO take. Whether or not
there was ever real occasion or necessity
for two such parties as have existed here
SO many years-the Peoples and the Liberal
there is certainly no occasion for them to-
day, and no shadow of reasonable excuse
for the continuance of either can be pre-
scented. That which the Liberal party was
formed to combat has ceased to exist, and
nobody thinks for moment that it will
ever return. That which called the Peo-
pies party into being, tie necessity for
self protection against a united opposition
has passed away. Those who through all
these years have been banded together in
an unceasing assault upon the Peoples
party, having accomplished all they set ont
TO gain feel that the contest is over and the
end has come, hence the absence of any
other than an excuse based on malice. vim
dictiveness and downright "cussedness',
for continuing the assault. There no longer
being an organized and Influential opposi-
ton to those who composed the PEOPLES
party, why should that party perpetuate
itself! 1t is threatened by nobody and can
not find even windmills to fight. The CEN
trial committee has evidently made care
full, intelligent survey of the situation, and
the result is the declaration of disband
ment While we know that intelligent and
thoughtful non Mormons, regardless of
politics, will say in their hearts that this
was the thing to do, we as sincerely be-
heve that the rank and file of the People's
party will heartily coincide with the action
that has been taken, and be glad OF the op-
portunity which it affords for getting rid
of an organization whose mission has
ended
What Chairman RICHARDS and his as
sociates have done have made il impossible
that the Liberal party can continue an in
huentlal factor in our political affairs. The
Liberal party was organized for the pur-
pose of combating the People, and there

try to keep up the organization by creating
false issues and setting up scare-crow to
assault and demolish; but all they do will
be idle effort, waste of energy which
should be devoted to q better purpose.
Having nothing to combat, dry rot will
soon set in, and the Liberal party will
necessarily so to speedy and certain decay.
Were it not for handful of schemers and
malcontents who stand at the head, the dis
solution would have been announced the
moment that the Peoples party was dis
solved. That would have been good politics,
and 1t would have saved the Liberal follow
ing some annoyance in future, for the
predictment into which that following is in
danger of being lead will be at least un-
pleasant.

ALTHOUGH THE latest flying machine
is sponsored by so reputable an inventor as
HIRAM S. MAXIM we have no faith in it and
probably nobody else has Within the last
hundred years the best mechanical skill
and scientific research have exerted them
selves IN the construction of apparatus with
which to navigate the air; but as yet to no
avail. Many of the machines work very
satisfactorily in theory, or in the work
shops. but positively refuse to fly the mo-
ment they are hoisted in the air, or if they
do fly, to be manageable in their course.
The question, moreover, is not to float an
engine in the air, but to float one that will
sustain something else besides itself That
this will be ultimately accomplished we do
not doubt, and that electricity will be the
motive power is also reasonably certain,
but that the means thereto have already
been discovered and rendered serviceable,
requires stronger proof than is contained
in the account we printed in the Geographic
columns yesterday.
