Other Notes

what they are pleased to style 1.-The Young
MEMS National Republican Club of Salt
Lake County," Among the youths" to
venture out into the field of national politics
at such tender and susceptible age is my
friend Deliver. Deliver is young dar-
ling; sweet cupid. My heart always goes
out to this gaunt and hungry youth.
Deliver, by the way, is to the Liberal
party what Eiffel Tower O'Brien was to
the Democrscy-an sgitator. He is one of
those splitrail, angular demonstrations of
ppheRved creation which was at its best in
Abraham Lincoln. This comparison is
not intended to be odious, as Deliver is
young, quite young, a member OF the
Young Republican club.
And my friend Weeter, who has been
warming up q decrepid youth by shaving
on his mustache and puckering up the fine
lines of his ancient mouth piece, has also
found cradle among the kids.
And "Young" Armstrong is there too
and what youth is there, my countrymen |!

TO lay foundation stone Of an American
state, as that distinguished act was accom-

work with hammer and trowel matching

Among the numerous suggestions for
Utah at the Worlds fair have not met
many original ideas, and the latest one. to
exhibit a tribe of Indians, is to me decidedly
aboriginal. Utah was never particularly
noted for producing Indians, though pre-
sumo the bucks here are as active as they
are IN other scenes of labor. Now real fine
specimens of "Injun'' is not exactly the
most precious bait to fetch settlers to
country as new SIS this, and it has taxed the
ingenuity of great many states to get rid
OF their surplus crop. 1t is but a few
months since our people were up in arms.

Is TO occupy lands fit for white men to cul-
tivate My advice, for what it goes. is to
keep its Indian as far in the back ground
as possible, instead of parading him at the
Worlds fair To exhibit him is to scalp
our own heads.
While on the Worlds fair theme would
1t not be good scheme to erect on the Utah

walls q great painting of Salt Lake CITY
and its environs; the majestic mountains
and beautiful valleys. Those VINO have
seen the cycloramas of Gettysburg will
never forget the vividness OF the effects
produced by this illusion. Imagine the
great white temple rising out of the city
with broad streets Dlumed with the grace
ful professions of Lombardy poplars and
the valley filled with verdure, stretching
to the south, and the horizon fripRed with
snow capped mountain ranges aud to the
west golden sunset on a silver sea.

how 1t would rivet en- the minds Of all who
would see It. the best we have to offer in an
enchanting chain OF everlasting remem-

Of smoking shelters and walls of humming
industries.
