This Is A DEMOCRATIC YEAR

We have received from friend
down in Millard county, copy of the
politico-religio brochure that has been
issued by that goodly man, the Rev.
Charles Crane of Kanosh. Charley is
yreat in respect to issuing political
works and in supporting men that have
the gentle aroma of divine favor cling
ing to or overshadowing them.
Charley's first effort was the mug
gets of Truth which we carefully dis
infected and laid away and which We
occasionally look at in order to keep
the greatness and inspired genius of
the man from Kanosh, fresh in our
memory.
His last and greatest effort (barring
the omission of the portraitsl is not
unlike the Nuggets of Truth, and is to
serve the purpose of influencing the
people of Utah to send key Bar
Trumbo to the q. S. senate instead of
frankie to congress.
The brochure begins with familiar
quotation from Thomas Jefferson, and
which is as follows:
Equal and exact justice to all men,
of whatever state or persuasion, relig-
ious or political"
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
The funny little eight page petition
then quotes the following letter.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, July Is, 1S94.
COLONEL TRUMBo,
The Shoreman,
Washington, D, G:
From the days of our travail In the
wilderness. we have hopefully locke
Onward to the time when our territory
should be recognized by the nation as
an honored member of its family of
states, and while we now accept, with
hearts full of thanksgiving and praise
to the God of nations, for what he hath
so marvelously and wonderfully
wrought, We rejoice with. and congrat
ulate you Oh the successful termina-
tion of your labor. which has resulted
in Utah's Acknowledgement, and polit
ical deliverance to her people. For
while your hand has not been seen.
and others claim all the honor, those
who know the facts fully appreciate
your efforts, and freely accord to you
their heartfelt gratitude for the deep
interest you have taken in the matter.
WmFoRD WOODRUFF,
GEORGE Q. CANNON,
JOSEPH F, SMITH.
Then at the bottom of the first page
are few lines that give the motive
for publishing the above letter, dead
away"
To the people of Utah, who can af-
ford (regardIeSs of political Gfiliations) to
be honest and just to the deserving, is
this brochure addressed.
Regardless of political aflilia-
tions," means that reyerent demo-
Gratis as well as republicans ought to
reward Isaac by sending him to the
senate.
On the next page there is couched in
stately sentences a defense of Isaac by
that great apostle of church influence,
the ReY. Charles Crane of Kanosh.
THE DISPATCH asks every one to
read in spirit of tenderness, this last
appeal from the redoutsble ex-g. o. p.
chairman for his next friend, Isaac
Bar'l Trumbo.

THOSE that have inevelmsde it a
profession to refute republican tibs
will never really understand that one
of their campalgn lies will get out of bed
and travel ten miles while truth is put
ting on its boots. Also that the literary
members of the g. o. p. become such
proficient prevaricators that they can
tell six line lie that will require

A Useful Cigar.
from the London lid Bits.

From the London lid Bits
\ good story is told of a sea captain
who died not long ago and who was
formerly in command of Il ship in
which passengers were carried from
London to Lisbon. On one occasion
the ship caught fire and the passengers
and crew were compelled To take hur-
ricdly To the boats. The captain re-
mained perfectly cool throughout all
the confusion and fright of the debariS
alton, and at last every one except
himself was got safely into the boats.
By the time he was ready to follow
tine passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead of hur-
rying down the ladder, the captain
called out TO the sailors to hold on q
minute, and taking out a cigar from
his pocket, coolly lighted Ii with a bit
Of burning rope which mad fallen from
the rigging at his feet. Then he de-
seemGed with deliberation, and gave
the order To push of.

afterwar,i, when some Ofthe passengers
were talking over their escape.
Because he answered, II saw that

minds of those in the boats, there was

least annoyed by any one, and while
seemingly gazing out in dream over
the blue, this bird would suddenly
break out with voIley of mariners

purple around it.
At length, when it was heard that
some ladies had declared that they
would never sail in a ship with such

the parrot must he cured OF its bad

thoroughly cured by this.
Once, when the boat had shipped a

from his perch and repaired To the place

The REGULAR Army.
From Harper's weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
An enlisted man serving on the ffon-
tier has opportunities for sport that
would be envied by hundreds of
wealthy men, especially i'm the way Of
hunting aud fishing. lie plays all
kinds Of outdoor games, is regular in
his habits, has stated times for meals
and for sleep, which all tend to the
development of his physical powers,
and the training he receives straight
ems his frene and gives him an easy,
upright carriage that never after leaves
him until old age lays the weight of its
hand upon him.
The post exchange is fitted up with
billiard room, lunch counter and card
room. Only the best grades Of beer
are sold there, and drunkenness cannot
exist under present restricted rules.
y pleasant room is always set aside Is
reading room, where current news
papers are on file. and in addition TO
this each company usually maintains
library. y post school i maintained
for six months of the year, where he
may improve his mental condition il
he desires. lie i provided with excel
lent clothing, which, when altered To fit
neatly, is the nattiest uniform known.
\ drunkard or other questionable
character may possibly creep in among
the men enlisted, but he is soon
spotted and under the law that five
previous convictions by courts martial
are sufficient to award diShOnorabie
discharge, he is soon gotten rid of. 1t
is crediiable to the army that all men
now serving in the ranks, except posi-
bly, few left over from the old army,
are capable Of reading and writing tine
English language, that il, in limited
sense.
To enter the service u man must sub
nit certificate of character from his
last employer, and in many other ways
satisfy the examining officer that he Is
a worthy young man. If he be intelli-
gent, his services are sought by the
different department chiefs a. clerk, or
in some other capacity. The new law
which allows any enlisted man of two
years service TO apply Denomination
with view to securing commission
has already induced many bright
young men to enter the ranks. If the
people can only be prevailed upon to
cast aside the prejudice which has
blinded their Judgment of the army
for the past twenty years, our young
men will be only too willing to enlist,
and enjoy the benefits that accrue dur
ing a three years term of service

preacher tested the effect Of the hard
times upon his congregation. At the

Instantly every man, woman and
child, with one exception, arose 10
their feet. He seated the crowd and
then said:
