THE Sons Of Veterans have passed through
all the troubles which are inevitable in any
new organization, and have come out in fine
shape. They have shown the public need
Of such an Order, its accaptability to the
people, thatits plan Of organization is sound,
and that within Its ranks are to be found an
abundance Of good material for officers and
leaders, who will keep it in the right path.
The Order has got down to solid working
basis, and we can confidently expect that
henceforth its growth will be healthy, strong,
and well knit. 1t is destined to be a great
power for good in this country.

THE Trades L Mon Congress which has been
in session in London advocated several excel
lent reforms and one in particular which has
set the Tory press 10 fOaming NJ the mouth.
Ii Is that the Members Of Parliament should
be paid salaries. The object Of this is to
permit poor men TO be elected TO Parliament
and thus give poor men proper representa-
ton, which they have never had. The Eng
lish aristocrats have spasms of horror At the
prospect Of House Of Commons made mp
OF butchers and bakers and candlesticl-
makers" and arc certain that this would
sound the death-knell Of the proud British
Empire All this seems very ridiculous TO
as on this side Of the Atlantic, where We
have had salaried Congressman from the FIRST,
and have had constantly a National Lcgis-
lature that has been superior as a whole in
ability, wisdom and purity Of character to
the British House Of Commons. The Trades
Union Congress also urged that number Of
other officers shall be salaTied This is sim
ply common business sense. In the Eng
lish system there are a number Of useless
officers who get cxtravagant salaries for do
ing absolutely nothing, while there are
many Offices Of real importance to the peo-
pie which are filled by gentlemen who
occupy them for honor" and without pay
In many instances this works badly A
man who holds an Office should, as a rule, be
given a sufficient salary, and held strictly
responsible by the people for the manner in
which he discharges its duties.

Mcpherson County is to be congratulated
on the smaIlness Of its list We remember
how for many years the chief support Of
possibly a majority Of the country papers in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Iowa
was the income derived from publishing the

FOURTH WARD REPUBLICANS.
Prof. Geo. II. Brimhall Makes His
Maiden Political Speech.

The Republicans of the Fifth ward
met in the Central schoolhouse last
night. The meeting was called to or
der by II. S. Pyne, president of the
club.
Chairman Pyne stated that in the abb
oence of the secretary nomination for
an assistant secretary would tie i'll or
der. Mr.. SHELTON was elected to that
Office
Geo. Sutherland was the first speaker.
He talked OF the political status of the
territory which had existed in the past,
stating he Was pleased to see the
change. He then traced the history of
the Republican party from 1856, and
compared it with the Democratic party.
claiming that il had been proven that
the Democrats were universally wrong,
and the Republicans were uni
vrrSally right As an instance of
this he said the Democrats
were the cause of the rebellion, and
that the doctrine of secession was
taught Uy the Democrats. but the Re-
publicanS had succeeded in driving out
this notion at the point o. the bayunet
during the civil war. The Democrats
objected to the emancipation proclama-
ton. They opposed the recon
struction of the south, and
the establishment of National
banks, also the homestead law.
but they have since acknowledged
that the Republicans were right, and
everything that had been inaugurated
Tor the good of the country had been
started 10y the Republicans, and in
every instance the Democrats had been
opposed to all great movements made
by the Republicans; but they have
finally acknowledged that the Rerub
cars wero right. The Republicans
have been at the head of every progress
slve movement. while the Democrats
have opposed every live movement
The speaker claimed that the tariff
ruled the wages of the w0rkiugman,
al d if the Democrats held sway the
wages of the Iaborrrs would be as low
as England's, while the citizens of the
United States would be reduced to
pauperism.
Mayor Booth was introduced. He
thought great mistake had been made
by both parties by keeping their meet
ings too long, thereby wearying the lis
tenerS. He had heard great deal of
kicking about what the papers had
been saying, but it would be better for
both parties not to be too touchy

LAID IN ASHES.
The Fate of a Cincinnati Eight
Story Building.
Over a Quarter of a Million Dollars Of
Furs and Sealskins
Consumed.

CISCINNAT1, July S.-Shortly after
10 O'Clock tonight a fire broke out in
the endorsement Of the immense
building at Fourth and Elm streets,
owned by William Hooper, the banker,
and occupied by a. E. Burkhardt & Co.,
manufacturers and dealers i'll furs.
The building had IA seventy-hvefoot
frontage on Fourth street and extended
$50 feet back. The front is seven
stories high, and at the rear has a
height OF eight and half stories. 1t
also extends two stores uu-
der ground. 1t is nearly new,
AMI is valued at about 100000. MI.
Burkhardt tonight could only give a
rough estimate of the value of the stock
III the building. IL was, in his opinion,
between $6O0,OO and 500 ,0O0 III addi
ton TO his own immense stock. He
stores great quantities OF valuable furS
Tor citizens every summer, and these
were all i'll the burning building. After
the start of the fire the entire fire de-
partment of the city was called Out.

the flames came through the roof.
Tie walls soon began to crumble, and
the building and contents became ire
trleYably lost. The fire department de-
voted their whole attention to
prevent the fire from spreading
to valuable adjacent property,
which were greatly endangered.
Fourth street frontage OF the building
vas occupied by GriershoUer & Co.,
dealers i'll and manufacturers OF cloth
ing. The stock was valued at $500 900,
OF which about 1925, 200 was saved. Tie
loss Is covered by insurance. The Elm
street wall fell at about midnight, and
half an hour later the Fourth street wall
fell on the roof of the Pope Manutac-
turing Co.'S three story brick
building east of 1t. The
fine stock of paintings, engravings,
frames and mouldings was completely
ruined, and the walls Of the building
were crushed out into the street. The
wall in falling knocked in the west
wall OF the Steinway piano building
next to the Pope building. BY great
effort the fire was kept from cOmmuni-
eating to the crushed buildings, and at
1880 O'Clock it is thought to be under
control.

should quote the words of Horace
Greedy that all Democrats are not
hOrsp thieves but all horse thieves are
/ Democrats, and then say. if there is a
horse thief here who does not agree
with me let him say so, why no one
would contradict me. If two farmers
got to work to water wheat and one
should prefer to water his land by fur
rows and the other should see fit to float
his, there is no reason why they should
quarrel over it, and that is nearly the
condition of the two parties. The biggest
difference, however, is this: that the
party that is in power wants to keep
there and the party that is out wants
to get in. The speaker then
dwelt on the principle of strong
government, that it was always
thrown at the Republican party
that their principles tended to
monarchy. while the Democratic party
had it said of them that their princl-
piles led to anarchy. 1t is a matter of
history that no monarchy had Existed
in the United States, while on the
other hand anarchy had existed. But"
says the speaker, Il an not going to
charge the Democratic party with
this" The speaker claimed that the
whole proposition of strong govern
ment resolved itself into this fact, that
when the United States entered into a
treaty that it would have the power to
carry it out. The speaker closed with
promising to talk on the tariff at some
future time.
Geo. H. Brimhall said he was a Re-
publican from principle, as he had eX
amined both platforms and had
joined the Republican party
not because he liked the Demo
cratic platform less, but, because
he liked the Republican p.rty more
He referred to the time when. as il boy,
he cut lncerne with an old scythe, and
he believed that he owed 1t to the Re-
publican party, that, he could now sit
on spring seat and see the grass
moved down. The speaker closed by
saying that which ever party q person
joined, he should always stand on the
broad platform of patriotism.
Chairman Pyne made few closing
remarks, in which he claimed that he
had examined both platforms and had |
concluded that the Republican party
was the party fer Utah. Brother Pyue !
also made the astounding assertion that |
the Democratic party always appealed |
IT, the prejudice of che people and not
to their reason.
Mayor Booth announced that con-
gresham Orr would be at the Opera |
House on Monday next.
