urAu.s POLITICAL mUDDLE.

A Salt Lake City dispatch says: The
Democrats claim Utah. The Republi-
cans make the same boast, while mol to
be outdone the Populists assert they
have q cinch on affairs politically in the
Territory this Fall. Which party is
right is hard to determine just now.
Certainly the Populists do not cut the
figure they pretend they are, though un-
der some circumstances they might be-
come quite q formidable factor in the
pending campaign.
Chairman Hsnsbrouck Of the Peoples
Party Committee says that notwith-
standing the opposition Of the Mormon
Church to the party he represents. as
evidenced in Idaho as well as Utah, the
Populists are steadily gaining ground.
Especially. he says. has this been the
case since the celebrated Priesthood
meeting. Hansbrouck feels confident il
the Democratic ticket is taken down that
Lawrence, the Populist nominee, will be
chosen Governor, with q good chance for
the remainder Of the ticket. Even IL
the Democratic ticket remains in the field,
he thinks Lawrence has more than q
fighting chance.
Lawrence is undoubtedly a strong
man, and will draw q big vote. He ia
an ex-Mormou, extremely wealthy and
one Of the most popular men in Utah.

The Sergeant-at-Arms OF the United
States Senate gives the political com
plexion Of that body as figured out TO
date by the Secretary as follows: Forty
two Republicans, thirty-nine Democrats
and six Populists. There Is one vacancy
from Delaware which may be filed BY q
Republican. Those classed as Populists
are Allen Of Nebraska, Kyle OF South
Dakota, PETER Of Kansas and Stewart
of Nevada. Jones Of Nevada and But
Ter of North Carolina are classed ~
doubtful, though Butler was elected BY
the Populists, and Jones has expressed
himself on several occasions that no re-
lief will come rave through q third party.
No party will have q majority in the
next Senate, hence IL is not probable that
any vicious legislation will be enacted
unless the gold bug Republicans and
gold bug Democrats unite and form .
third party. Is they did to pass the bill
repeating the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman Act. II is also . good thing
that the Senate is 30 constituted, as 1t
will prevent the passage Of the same
bill which was beaten in the House last
session, but for which Reed voted-that
is, the retirement Of some eight hundred
million dollars Of Government paper
money, and in lieu thereof issue national
bank notes, thereby absolutely taking
the power Of creating money away from
the Government. There Is very little
doubt but such . bill will be passed by
the next House, but the hope is ID will
fail to pass the Senate. Possibly the free
silver men will be able to muster votes
enough to pass q bill through the Senate,
but with Reed Speaker Of the House and
Cleveland in the White House with his
veto, it would be . waste Of time to try
to get . silver measure enacted into
law,

planned the t~reAohery, and his protests-
tions that he could not accept were but
part of the play.

We are reliably informed that 9 very
rich body Of gold ore was struck in the
Rob Roy few days since. The Rob
Roy lies Just south Of the Chairman and
Joanna gold mines and bids fair TO rival
those valuable mines In size and the
quality Of the ore.
Parties doing the assessment work on
the Emma mine, in West Camp, found q
body Of ore 81 the surface about Eve feet
wide, assaying 60 per cent lead. 4s ounces
silver and five dollars in gold. This ore
lie worth about 500 . ton in San Fran
cisco. The neal approach Of Winter will
prevent the shipment Of ors'for the pres.
ent. but next Spring no doubt the lucky
owners will derive q steady increase from
what promises to be . veritable bonanza.
Assessment work on what are called
the "copper" claims" is resulting in q fine
showing Of rich oxides on the Star, Star
Of the West, Monitor, Brooks and Pilot
Knob. The lodes are large and wher.
ever iron is found with the copper bear
| both gold and silver. Wherever sui
phides Of copper are found they also con.
tain gold and silver. While the ores
near the surface are chiefly the green and
blue ores and red and black oxides some
sulphides are here and there found
mixed with them. There is not suf6-
cient development yet to demonstrate
the value Of the gold and silver COM
bined with the copper, but Robinson
District may yet rival Butte City, Mon
tsna, in the production of gold.silver
copper matt.

There is q concern in New York thai
is sending out pamphlets 10 convince sh'
people that gold is the only sound money
In the last one the following idiotic state
ment occurs;
"what . laborer really works for are
the things which he consumes. Every
thing that goes TO make goods cheaper
tends to increase the real as compared
with q nominal wages Of the workman
for he is then getting more goods for the
same money. On the other hand. every
tendency to make things desrer tends 20
decrease in a corresponding degree tho
real wages Of the people,"
Now let the farmer read that over IN
til he gets . clear view Of the gold bug
conspiracy against his interests. That
these fellows are aiming to reduce the
price Of farm products is plainly stated.
In another place in the pamphlet we
end this comfort for farmers:
"The prices OF what wage earners have
to buy respond far more promptly to
changes in the quality Of money thar do
wsges-the price at which labor is sold.
Hence, whenever money is getting bet
ter, though nominal wages may tend to
decrease, wage earners are constantly
getting more goods in exchange for the
money they actually get for their labor;
and whenever money is getting poorer,
though nominal wages tend to increase,
wage earners are constantly getting
less Of the necessities and comforts OF
life in return for the wages they re-
ceive."
This is another way Of stating that the
aim is TO lower the price of products.
Better money means 200 cent gold dol
lars. Poorer money" means 100 cent
dollars. In q word these people are
tempting the w~orkingman. If he viii
vote for gold he can get bread, butter,
potatoes and clothing right along for les'
than il costs to produce them. A mar
who is brutal enough TO advance thai
sort Of argument in favor of the gold
standard ought to be stuck full Of darn
ing needles. Farmers Voice.

HOW 1T Cams ABOUT.

We have often heard the question
asked. "How did il happen that the
Government relinquished its FIRST mort
gage on the Central Paoificroadand took .
second one on the property? :" The San
Francisco Call propounded nine ques-
tious to Mr.. Huntington to answer re-
lAting to the affairs Of the company and
its indebtedness to the Government.
That journal, commenting editorially on
some Of the answers made by the rail-
road magnate. gives the following partic-
ulsrs as to the way the Government be-
came the possessor Of the second mort
gage:
1.-THE Government loaned the corpora
tion Of which Mr.. Huntington is the
head s27, 600, 900 to build . railroad.
This was the foundation Of four Of the
largest fortunes in the world. Men are
usually grateful for the capital that give'
them their start in life; but these cor
porations have neither paid . cent Of the
original indebtedness. nor Of the thirty
years' interest, which has doubled the
original debt. The Government was al
indulgent - the most generous Of pa
irons. It's proteges said they needed an
other thirty millions and the Govern
ment permitted them to borrow this and
give - security . mortgage which tool
precedence Of its own. Before Mr.
Huntington and his partners built that
road he was . moderately prosperous
grocer with perhaps . hundred thousand
dollars; now he 10 rated ~ ffsy times Z
millionaire"
