"But if they do this let them re-

Revolutionary war were always
clamorIng to remove Washington as
incompetent and too slow, and put
Gates or Arnold or some dashing

HE WANTS HIS CHILD.

Mrs. William P. Gains, of st.
Louis, who has brought suit for the
retention of her little daughter, has
gone back to Austin. Her husband,
who desires to regain the child, has
left the city. The case is a remark
able one and has furnished much
food for gossip. William P. Gains
was a capitalist of Austin and owner
of the Austin Statesman. His wife
is one of the most beautiful women
of the South, and an acknowledged
belle of the Capital city. She at
tracted much attention, and there
was sudden rupture, Gains retain
ing custody of the little girl, four
years old. Mrs. Gains went to her
people in st. Louis. Subsequently
she visited Houston, and the child
was kidnapped, She returned to
st. Louis, and still has it. Gains
wants it back. In the testimony
taken there Thursday three witnesses
figured, two maids who we're work
ing in the Gains household when
the couple lived together, and DIR.
G. E. Fisher, who attended Mrs.
Gains professionally. The testimo-
ny of the maids was to the effect
that during the absence of her hus-
band, Mrs. Gains entertained young
gent callers at late hours. Fishers
testimony was of purely profess
sional nature, and it is understood
does not involve the lady in any
way. The general impression is
that her husband, so tar as San An
tonic testimony is concerned, has
entirely failed to make out his case.

RINGING RESOLUTIONS.

The Deseret New8, in reviewing the
resolutions adopted by the Democratic
Territorial Convention on Monday,
says
We commend the resolutions passed
at tie Democratic Convention on Mon
day to the consideration of all people
who are interested in Utah affairs. 1t
has been claimed by persons who desire
to obstruct the progress of this territory
that the great object Of the present
political movement here is to obtain
immediate statehood for Utah. On
this point the convention expressed it
self:
We believe these sentiments will be
endorsed by just people of different
political faiths. They viii lead to the
healing of old wounds and the settle
ment Of strifeS which we hope VIII
never be revived. 1t is expressions
like those that won the Mormon" peo-
pie from the local party which had held
their allegiance so long and that caused
its dissolution.
Hemceforth, whatever may be the
local results, they will train with the
respective natlOnaI pdTIleS according
to their choice And there are no peo-
pie in the land who will be more faith
full to their agreements and party duties
than the "Mormons," as their past
record substantiates beyond a reason
able doubt
From an independent standpoint and
without reference to party procllyities,
we endorse the resolutions we have
quoted, and believe they will not be op-
posed except by those unreasonable and
bitter extremists who are the enemies
of the Mormon" people and the enc
mics of Utah.

STRENGTH RATHER THAN WEAK
NESS,

Speaking about the opposition Gov
ernor CAMPBELL's denomination met
with at Cleveland at the late conven-
tion, the Philadelphia Ledger says: The
opposition is an indication of strength
rather than weakness. 1t comes from
the corrupt politicians of Cincinnati.
who were resolutely opposed by the
governor when he forced through the
Legislature a bill providing for non
partisan board OF public improvements
for Cincinnati. Governor CAMPBELL.
who was a sailor during the war of the
rebellion and has been a member OF
congress, is extremely popular, because
he is frank bold man, with clear CON
victlons of right and duty. His friends
are confident that the opposition in his
own party will be more than offset by
his gain of reform votes from the Re
publican organization. He was elected
in 1889 by 1882 plurality over FoRA-
KER, but he has a much more popular
man to contend against now-Mr.
McKINLEY-and the main issue, al
though this is state contest, will be
the tariff. On this there is no lodging.
for Governor Campbell has taken
stand against the MCKINLEY bill and
the principles it represents which
leaves no room for shuffling. Ohio
viii be given lively canvass and the
result of the election will be in one
sense of national Importance, for it may
shape the events OF 1892.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Now that the tickets are about made
up, we wish to say that THE DISPATCH
has no personal fight with any candi-
date on the other side. We are not
going to adopt methods Of our evening
cotem. and dive at persons. So far as
we know the Republicans have all
good men on their ticket. We have
nothing against the character OF either
of them. We know the ticket is not so
strong, nor made up OF such representa-
tive men as the Democratic ticket,
out that opinion would not justify US
in making personal attacks upon any
of them. No, we base our hope Of sue
cess upon the justice OF our cause.
Principles and not men is the basic
doctrine.

PROOF OF SINCERITY.


The st. Louis Democrat, a Re-
publican paper, says that Utah viii show
by her next important election, the
truth OF falsity of her assertion that she
has honestly and finally cut loose from
an anomaly. If there be a division on
national issues and she goes Demo-
cratic, it viii be fair proof that her re
form is not complete, and consequent
ly she viii bear watching two or three
years longer. The Democrats of Utah
might as we'll learn, if they do not
know the fact already, that
the old system of misrepresenting
Utah has been resurrected in the East
by the Republicans to the extent that
the Democratic movement is an anom-
alous proceeding and in direct opposi-
ton to the Constitution, and consequent
ly should be held to the old Territorial
systems with all It's miserable domestic
warfare, unless she goes Republican;
then in that event the anomaly would
yield to the constitutional rights of
men and Utah would require watching
no longer
1t is astonishing that men will listen
to such course Of procedure in the
event of the defeat OF the Republican
party in Utah I mistrust that the
Republicans and the Liberal party are
in league. Ii the Republicans
win, the Liberals, though they
pretend to be opposed to
national politics, will go to some out
OF the way place and laugh at what
they viii call the science of govern
ment. If the Liberals win
the Glo5e-Democrat will have
head lines something like the fol-
lowing; Utah Wants Watching No

LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS.

Some thinking people are wont to
sxclaim: How long, o LORD, how
.ong" will the Liberals continue to
spit venom at the members OF GER
ain church, for no other reason than
hat they choose to exercise that God
given privilege of believing as they
please. The answer is, it will probably
continue "until death do US part :"
some of those men who were at the
Liberal. meeting Monday night, will,
beyond question, go down into their
graves with burning hate for that
church, and snarl for every member
thereof, just as many of the slave
holders of the south have carried and

perity.

less rabid we ask you, What do you
want, young friends? What more can
you ask of the members of that church?
They have done all that manhood and
reason could dictate in order to make
peace. Your party has been calling them
for years to come out, and now when all
conditions are favorable they have
come. Nor is it a scheme of theirs.
Men of your own party sounded

to join the national parties. This was
true both as to Democrats and Repub-
licans. The Peoples party was ready
to lay aside the old strifes and join with
you. But now you continue the old
old fight. You have nothing new. You
have no principles to present, and We
ask again, what do you want?
Young friends, come out! Don't you
see what we can all do for our Utah:
Don't you see what you can do foI
yourselves by burying the past? We
don't want statehood now That is not
what the division is for. AS proof o.
that, We cite you again to the fact that
the Mormons didn't investigate the
division. They only fell into line wher
invited to do so.

THE WHEAT CROP.
Gigantic Efforts Being Made
to Corner" It.
The Farmers All Through the Country
Are Being Appealed to, to Hold the
Grain Till Higher Prices Come.

ST. PAUL, Minn,, July 23.-St. Pau
has been made the headquarters of the
national movement by the United
Farmers Alliance, to corner the entire
wheat crop Of the whole country. AT
No. 81 Wabash street. for several days
past a large force OF employees has
been engaged in sending out circulars
with Il view to having all class of farm
ers keep back their wheat crops until
the prices have been advanced to a
high point. The plan is to unite the
farmers In a gigantic wheat trust. in
which the producers shall be the stock
holders, and by which spectators and
wheat buyers will be squeezed to the
wall.
George NJ. Muller. editor of the
State, and prominent Alliance man. is
at the head of the movement. The
wheat crop of tie United States for
1891 is estimated at 100000, 900 bushels.
The promoters of the farmers trust
believe that four ffths of this can be
held back by the farmers from four to
eight weeks, by which time it is
thought prices will have gone skyward.
The circulars have already been sent TO
the secretaries of the alliances of all
wheat-growing states.
ST. PAUL, July 23.-PreSident Igna-
thus D0nnelly, OF the Minnesota Alli-
ance, has issued circular to the mem
bers of the Farmers Alliance of Min
ncsOta, in which he discaimS any con-
nection with the move for withholding
a part OF the wheat crop to raise prices.
BY covert allusiOns to PIllsbury, wheat
ring deals, etc, he casts cold water on
the movement and leaves the inference
that it is unauthorized
WAsHGNGTON, July 23.-H. w. Aver.
secretary to President Polk, of the
Farmers Alliance, and maner of theag
Reform Press Bureau, says the work of
sending out circulars. designed to show
the farmers of the country it is to their
advantage to hold back the wheat
crop, was actively proceeding in this
city, as well as in ST. Paul. Aver said
already 100000 Of these circulars were
sent out from Washington, and dur
ing the next few days an average of
100000 per day will be mailed, until
more than million circulars alto
gether are lsS-ed. The circular will
also be published in about 1000
weekly papers, with which the bureau
is connected. The information that
the issue OF such circular by the Al
lance men was in contemplation, be-
came public prematurely about two
weeks ago, when the circular, in course
ot preparation, was published in a
newspaper. The final decision to issue
the circular had not at that time been
reached, but it has since been deter
mined upon,
