Want Auerbach to Run.

The best Republican element, al
ready thrown into CONSERVATION by
the prospect that the city fight will be
subordinated to the fight for the sena-
torship between the Trumbo and Tri-
bUne rings, and that the municipality
will be plunged into an era of corrup-
ton and extravaganza such as was
known under the last Liberal rule
are making the strongest endeavors to
get T. H. Auerbach to enter the fight.
They pledge him their most royal sup
port, but so far he seems disinclined,
and if he takes the gauntlet up it will
be for the sole purpose of saving the
city from the rayages of the vandals.
But neither he nor any. other Repubfi-
can business man can be nominated
this fall The best element is vainly
endeavoring to rally around some
good business man who can be de-
pended on to run affairs on business
basis. They have talked about Claw
son and Wells and Auerbach, but the
whole thing is likely to end in talk,
and the rings will walk off with the
plumber. Then the best element, led
by their noses in the interest of the
rings, will again deliver over the al
ready mixed up affairs into incom-
petent hands.

EncrOaching Upon the Real Estate

Covington, Neb., June 5.-The resi-
dents of this place are in CONSERVATION
at the Entertainments of the Missouri
river. For several days the water has
been very high and strips of land from
fifty to a hundred feet wide frequently
tumble into the water. AS the town is
very near the bank the utmost alarm is
felt Several buildings have already
been carried away and more will be
soon if the caving continues. The
residents nearest the river are moving
out, and every effort is being made to
protect the bank.

CoIIegiate Exercises.

Exercises at the Collegiate Institute
yesterday were Of very Interesting
character and speak well for the suc-
cess of that institution. As is well
known, this college was founded in
1873 and when first started was on a
very small scale. BY dint of perse-
Verance on the part of the manage
ment the school has grown until now
1t is one of the foremost in Utah
Mrs. McNiece and Mrs. McVickers
who were teachers in the institute i'm
the early days were present ana made
some remarks regarding it, illustrat-
ing the primitive methods used when
the school began its work. Regarding
the building, the former said that
while it was without doubt the finest
of its kind in Utah, still a buiIding
was not all that was required. Upon
discipline, good work and the loyalty
OF the pupils all depended. The Col
legiate institute, in Mrs. McNiece's
opinion need not be loath to point
with pride to its ancestry and founda-
ton. 1t has developed from a very
meagre start to we'll equipped and
well regulated place of learning. UDon
this foundation which has been the
work of so many years will be erected
a college which shall one day in the
future be the pride of this state.
Mr.. Caskey, in d neat speech demon
strated the necessity of the institute
in connection with the college. It is
place where boys and girls have a
home while receiving that education
which is indispensable to success in
life.
Rev. T. L. Arnold then dedicated the
building in a ferv ent prayer after
which flag was presented. the school
by the father and brother of the
principal. The pupils of the grammar
department INDUCED in a flag drill
which when ended was succeeded by
an adjournment to the outside.
While the children sang "Unfurl
Our Emblem, Free" the banner was
hoisted to the staff of the building
and this done the exercises ended.

Lochrie For City Justice.

If anybody supposes that Lochrie,
J. P, is being lost amid the whirl-
wind of political passions now sweep
ing over the city, he is nightly mis-
taken. Now that it has become
confirmed fact that Grant Fl. Smith
intends to strike for higher game this
fall and is in the race for the district
judgeship the smaller men are begin
ming to get themselves ready to make
the race for city justice of the peace,
which pays $500 a year. Justice
Lochrie is first in the race. as he is
already an avowed candidate. Sew
eral of the less notable district judi
cial candidates are expected to switch
in a few weeks, however, and set their
ambitions on places more commensu-
rate with their ability. The know
ledge that a candidate is already in
the field will be a sign for stampede.

How Harry is Fighting.

Still the fight for the mayorship goes
merrily on. A week or two ago a
number of Harry Dukes friends were
saying that he was not likely to make
the race and would accept a much
better offer made him by the Wells,
Fargo company. However, there
seems to be no imminent danger of
his withdrawal. His friends are at
work now and are carrying the war
into Denmark with a vim. 1t looks as
though the recent change in the
treasurer's office, whereby l.. Palmer
took the place of Ed Hitler, was made
in the interest Of politics. Hitler had
been with Duke a long time. He was
a Tuscarora and was so close to Duke
that when the latter deserted his party
for office it was suspected that he, too,
would go. But he did not. Palmer is
reputed to be one of the best political
workers in the city. He was well
known in the ranks of the Liberals
and is held in high esteem among the
A. p. A. forces, it is said. He-is al
ready at work in the interest of Duke
and may be expected to exert a pretty
lively influence

In line with the determination to put
the Democratic machinery and all tho
auxiliary organizations of the party
on war footing, meeting is called
for this evening for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a consolidation of the different
Democratic clubs in the city, or at
least to place them in such working
order that there will be no friction be-
tween them. The meeting this evening,
in Judge Norrell's office, will be of the
council OF clubs, composed of five del
egates from each of the four great
Democratic organizations. the Tusca-
roras, the Scandinavian, Peoples and
Utah clubs. In the past there has been
some friction between them, and the
energy stored up within them has not
been as effective as it might have been
had they come right together. There
are several propositions for bringing
the several organizations together,
some for consolidation and others
merely for fraternal arrangement,
whereby each will take its due share of
the burdens of the campaign The dis
sessions within the Republican camp.
with the various rings fighting one an
other to the death, has brought home
the necessity of absolute union of the
Democrats and the best of feeling pre-
Valls everywhere. 1t is expected that
the result OF this evenings conference
cannot but be conducive to harmony.

Republican For Office ONLY.

He had believed the Democrats had
a chance to carry Salt Lake and was
content to stay with them, until he
saw that the chances were the other
way; then he went over. The same
arguments were used on him that were
used on many other TuScaroras who
were holding office. They were told
they had no chance with the Demo-
Gratis and that the Republicans would
keep them in office if they would
switch. Not a few did So They are
beginning to see their mistakes
Whitehorne was one of them. The
first chance the Republicans get at

Taylor was another; he was turned

Already Holding Quiet Meetings.

Those politicians who have the most
to do with running the Republican
primaries are already in the field and
here, there ana everywhere little gath
erings are being held all the time.
There are various little cliques of
them in each precinct and they come
together and discuss men and their
records and ability from A to Z. Just
at present the various candidates for
councilmanic honOrs and those who
have come into the field for the may
orship are being taken under discus
sion and approval or laid on the table
as suits the gathering. Equally i'm
portant and as fully discussed is the
stand taken by various men who are
either to be put up as delegates or
slaughtered ruthlessly. This is one of
the most important things. When the
Republican rings are ready to move in
the campaign they will want to know
who they can rely on and delegates
to conventions are already being con-
sidered. So moves the political world.

Secret organiza tion of the Free Silver
Advocates.

Secret Organlza tion of the Free Silver
Advocates.
Admitting in effect that the silver
mine owners have failed to foist them
selves upon the people of the United
States as political party, their agents
announce virtual withdrawal of the
subject from public agitation and COM
mitment of it to n secret society.
The new secret society is called the
Order of the Supreme Temple, Silver
Knights of America" The general
objects Of the organization, which is
chartered in the state of Virginia, are
''to advance, propagate and teach such
principles of political economy as may
be adopted by the board of directors of
said corporation and finally, Ito
adopt such rules, regulations and prac-
tices in legal way as may be deemed
necessary for the purpose of securing
the free coinage of silver by the United
States government, and to make silver,
when coined, legal tender for all
debts, and to collect and expend money
in furtherance of said purpose" The
charter named William NJ. Stewart, OF
Carson City, New, as president.
Secret organization has been resorted
to from time to time for various pur-
poses, but never before to add propaga-
tion OF an idea of alleged political econ
omy. The success of a logical principle
has hitherto been rightly assumed OBJ
tainable only in an open field of discus
sion. BY resorting to secret society,
advocates of the proposal that half a
dollar is dollar confess that the coun-
try has declined to be cozened for the
benefit of ring of mine owners and
stock jobbers. If any valid principle
can be found in political economy which
processes that government stamp on
something can give it immutable and
permanent monetary value, its advo-
Gates ought not to elope with it and
hide it away behind bars, locks and
secret passwords. II cannot praise, "
says Milton, "a fugitive and clustered
virtue, uneXercised and unbreathed,
that never sallies out and seeks her
adversary, but sinks out of the race
where that immortal garland is to be
run for"
Resort to dark lantern precedents is
entirely worthy the sinister greed of u
monopoly of silver capitalists and spec
ulators. Fifty, too, the charter is
sought in part of the country over
which know-nothingism had its most
successful, if brief and futile, reign.
No dishonest proposal can ever receive
as no unpatriotic or unconstitutional
proposal ever has received, large
measure of support from the American
people.
The free silver secret society will not
even be treated seriously. 1t is as gro
testque as it is dishonest. Its briet
candle, even in a silver csndlesticlx,
will be speedily laughed out. Chicago

THE MORA CLAIM.
How the S1,5OO,OOO to- BE Paid by Spain
VIII BE Divided.

CHICAGO, July l6.-As soon as pay
ment of the celebrated Mora claim
can be made by the Spanish gov
ernment and the attorneys for the
claimants have deducted their share
of the Sl,5Oo,0Oo which Spain has
agreed to pay at once, Antonio
Maximo Mora and his sons will divide
among themselves what is left of the
money. OF the sum to be paid by the
Spanish government 40 per cent will
be given to syndicate in New
York which is composed of the
attorneys who have been working
in the interests of the claimants. An
tonic r. Mora, of Gonzalez, Mora &
Co., who is son of Antonio Maxine
Mora, and the only son of the family
who lives in Chicago, said that this
syndicate had to be formed in order to
keep track of the attorneys claims
since 1869 and that the 40 per cent.
which they receive is payment
for their services. An agreement
was made some time ago between the
elder Mora and his sons as to the dis
posal of the money to be received from
the claim, but how much of it he
would receive Mr.. Mora would not
state.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 15.-Reports

Minnesota and Us many more South Da-

that there is u protracted drought in
that section, and that the wheat is
already damaged at least 80 per cent.
In many localities which few weeks
ago promised enormous yields, there
will not be more than five to six bush
els of wheat to the acre. Charles A.

weeks ago he placed the wheat yield
of Minnesota and the Dakotas at 14o,-

1875, 900, 900 bushels and that he would
not be surprised if the yield were not
more than 115, 900, 900 bushels, the same
as last year. Part of this however, he
said was due to shortage in the acre

M. sTAMeuLoEE ATTACKED.
The Ex-Premier Perhaps Fatally Wounded
Both Hands Lost.

SOFIA, July 26-Stambuloff, ex-
premier of Bulgaria, was return
ing home Monday evening from
colleague, NJ. Petchoff, when they
were attacked by four persons, armed
with revolvers and knives. NJ. Stam-
buloff received several wounds in the
head and lost quantity of blood.
His condition is serious.
The assailants attacked the carriage,
compelling the coachman to stop. M.
Stambuloff's servant fred his revolver,
but missed. M. Stambulotf jumped out
and Immediately received a cut
which almost severed his hand from
the wrist He then tried to
escape, but was followed and
stabbed in the head and received re-
volver shot, when he fell to the ground
where his assailants continued their
stabs badly wounding his other hand.
NJ. Petchoff. running to his assistance,
was also stabbed. He declares that he
saw gen d'armes running away as we'll
as the assailants.
The shots were heard at the Union
club and the friends of NJ. Stambuloff
came and found him covered with
blood and surrounded by several per-
sons and by gen d'armes, none of whom
professed to have noticed where the
assailants had fled.
Stambuloff was taken to his house
and laid upon sofa. The doctors
think he may die. While surrounded
by his political friends, the chiefs
of police wanted to enter the
house, but the wounded states
mans wife sternly forbade them
to do so and accused them of com
plicity in the crime. She told them
to search for the culprits. Several
arrests have been made. There is
great Indignation felt in the city.
The attack was made upon a
frequented street. 1t is generally re-
marked now that the last number of
the government newspaper organ, Mir,
violently attacked NJ, Stambulotf, ac-
cusing him of being a foreign spy. The
outrage is believed to be the personal
vengeance of persons who suffered dur
ing his reign as premier.
LONDON, July ia dispatch to the
Times from Sofia says that both of NJ.
Stambuloff's hands had been ampu.
tated. One OF his assailants was
wounded.
