the late epidemic of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in Opt
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr SO light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost Of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility Of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in "a high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging Of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing Of the tower in a storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of a tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent
piece of work can be turned out
at so low a price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores, or write

he came back he evidently didn't
get enough pay, SO instead of turn

Labor Commission as required by
law he gave it to the Advertiser.
The Bulletin says: GAS matter of

THE COLORED MEN DEBATE.

THE COIORED MEN DEBATE.
TIE Durham-Lindell debate On
the political issues, came off last
Wednesday night, at the Tunnel,
before a very fair audience. 1t is
to be regretted that an admission
was charged, as it kept many from
attending.
Our limited space forbids an ex-
tended review of the points made
by the champions. Suffice it to
say, Mr.. Durham fully maintained
the cause of Democracy, and salts
fed the expectation of his friends.
Mr.. Lindell, a college graduate
from the state of Virginia, spent
the greater part of his time in
abusing the southern people, and
waving that old, decayed under
garment, the "6ioOdy shirt" Such
ingratitude il seldom witnessed
from a colored man who has re-
ceived so much from the hands of
his native state.
The smallness and contemplate
bias of Chairman Geo. NJ. Cannon,
was exhibited by his interruptions
and efforts to encourage disorder
while Mr.. Durham was speaking.
This fact Disguised even the Repub-
licans, being in such contrast with
the spirit of fairness shown by
Judge Powers the referee for the
Democrats.
The BROAD Ak was a thorn in the
flesh of Bro. Lindell, judging from
his contortions while speaking of it.
We thank him for the free adver-
tising he gave US; and suggest that
he should not play with edged tools,
Is he is liable to cut himself.
Taken altogether the debate will
benefit Democracy; as it was proven
to the colored people present,
that their best friends are the
Democrats.

ing represented by brave and earn
est men.
The eloquent and impressive adj
dress of Judge Powers, chairman
of the State committee, was re-
ceived with approving applause;
but when the letter of Hon. Moses
Thatcher was read, wherein he de-
clared his purpose to stand by his
party and the people of Utah, the
convention went wild; they arose
to their feet, and cheer after cheer
went through the rafters of the
theatre building for several min
utes.
The speeches of Fisher Harris,
Judge King, Judge Judd and
others, struck a responsive chord
in the hearts of the audience, and
helped to prepare the minds of the
members of the convention for the
ordeal through which they earnestly
emerged. The address is a clear,
plain and logical appeal to the
honor and patriotism of the voters
of Utah. Every man and woman
in the territory should read it care
fully. 1t is now q part of the
history of our country, and will
become q document of enlighten-
ment to the whole people.
The meeting of these patriots
was an epoch in the history of this
people, that will mark their upward
march in the interest of human
rights. 1t was a great day; a day
Of political Pentecost. More people
were made to breathe the true
spirit of American patriotism, and
educated in the line of duty, in less
time than ever before in our his
tory. Everyone present will go
home feeling invigorated and In
,pired, and will become a mission
airy in the cause of the liberty of
conscience, and the absolute divorce
nent of church and state.
All honor to the brave men and
women of Utah, who have thus de-
led the usurpations of the modern
King John, and again proclaimed
he magma charta of Americanism.
