t At an enormous mass meeting held
!, IN Chicago the other day resolutions
were passed expressing the greatest
sympathy with Cuba in her struggle
for independence and thousands Of
people shouted themselves hoarse in
their enthusiasm OF course these
meetings do not directly place the
munitions Of war il the hands of the
Cubans but it is nothing more than
an echo Of the sentiment Of this EN-
tire country. 1t is even experienced
in the state department at Washing
ton and Spain has been notified that
she must quell the instruction very

When a man buys more than he
sells every month, every year his
treasury is being exhausted, no mat
ter how much he may howl about
hard times and free silver And when
he changes his course or buys less
than he sells, the money begins to
come back into the pocket book
whether the country has free silver
or not. Every man can see this, and
if not. his children can explain it to
{ him. And it is amazing that J. the
same man cannot see that the same
law applies with equal force to the
nations. The democrats want the
market Of the world and the popn-
lists want more money but there
would be no gain if both had their
own way. # we were to coin $500,
siOOO, 900 and yet should buy $500, 600,
600 each year more than we sell, that
money would go to foreign countries

publican legislation our exports nave
almost invariably exceeded our i'm
ports, but il the last two years we
have bought vastly more than we
have sold. And people wonder why

The Beautiful Snow Comes Early.

Salt Lake, Sept. 2l.-Climatic con
dltiOns took a sudden change last
night and this evening this city was
visited by heavy rain, afterward by a
snow storm which broke the drouth
that has prevailed since June. The
water supply of the city, which comes
from the mountains, was very low
and farmers had been unable to do
any fall blowing. The storm has been
worth many thousands to the farm
erS. Snow fell until noon today and
overcoats were brought out. The
storm began north Of Ogden and ex-
tended generally over the valley for
more than a hundred miles south.
The first street car to Fort Douglass
today carried snow pillow to clear the
snow. Telegraphic communication
was interrupted.

began falling and prospects are favor
able for its continuing all night.
This is the earliest snow this vicinity
has witnessed for many years and is
the first Of the season. Reports from
throughout the northern half of the
state tell similar tale. In the
mountains the snow fall is very
heavy.
A special to the News from Lead
vile says: A heavy storm is raging.
The thermometer is considerably be-
low freezing. There will be several
inches of snow by morning. Lead
