AT FAIRS
Heavy Registration and Loud Cries Of
Fraud.
Nelson Has Not Been Located - His
Crime-Other Local Notes of
General Interest.

Since the last registration, $40 names
have been added to the registration books
Of the city; 442 white and 400 oolored, as
follows: First ward 80 white and 46 color
ed; second ward. 50 white and Al colored;
third ward, 2O7 white and 1873 colored;
fourth ward, III white and 119 colored. OF
this number, $40 were registered by trans
fer, making about 800 new names. The
City Democratic Club and the Bryan. Sc
wall and Rixey Club claim that a large
number of these names are illegally regis
tered. especially among the colored portion,
saying that most of them were brought
here by the republicans from Washington
and elsewhere and Illegally added to the
list. A committee from the Bryan, Sewall
and Rixey Club is making a poll of the
as far as possible. They claim to have
found that many of them have no residence
in this city.
The cry of fraud has gone up on all
sides, and every effort will be made to have
an honest election.
Mr. s.. G. Brent. representing the sound
money democracy, offered to assist Com
monwealth's Attorney Marbury in locating
and prosecuting Illegally registered per-
sons, but Mr.. Marbury. in a letter to MIR.
Brent, declined the offer. saying he pre-
ferred to prosecute them alone in his Off
cial capacity.

Nelson's Whereabouts Unknown.
Nothing has as yet been heard as to the
whereabouts of John Nelson, who is wanted
by the county authorities for the killing of
Deputy Sheriff Hines at Jackson City, who
was released on bail several weeks ago by
Justice Lane. It is thought by the people
that Nelson will not show UP in this Sec
ton again; certainly not for some time.
The crime for which Nelson is wanted was
one of the worst on the calendar, and its
full details were told in The Star at the
time Hines, with others, made raid on
Nelson's bar at jackson City and in the
melee that followed Hines was shot to
death. 1t is claimed that Nelson did the
shooting, and Nelson, it is said, claims
self-defense. The bond of $1,000. given by
John II. Greene and Granville Kelly, has
been forfeited.

FOR THE GOLD. STANDARD.

The Provo Enquirer is a Republican
paper and generally puts forth the Re-
| publican view on any matter of public
interest. 1t has been matter of much
concern TO il what stand it should take
on the silver question. 1t has not quite
decided, but all its arguments are of
the strictly Mckinley kind. 1t believes
in free silver, it says. but it has very
much to say about the honor and cred
it of the country. that they must re-
main unsullied and unimpaired. On
this point all are agreed; but has any
one proposed to sully or impair them?
From an article in the Enquire of
Wednesday we infer that our Provo
contemporary looks upon the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver by this
country alone as such an attempt. We
quote in part what it says so that our
readers may judge whether our in
ference is right.
The Republican, party takes a
conservative stand on the silver
question; the Democrats take the
extreme western view, demanding
free coinage at a ratio of is to l. with
out waiting for the action of other
nations
There is no doubt the Democratic
policy would be the better if we had no
gold obligations TO pay in foreign lands.
The United States could then safely
coin all the silver in sight. for it is
good enough money for domestic pur-
poses even if the gold should then de-
part from this country as predicted by
the oddities. But where we have OBJ
legations to pay in gold, we cannot re-
pudiate those obligations by saying we
viii pay in. silver, any more than a
farmer promising to pay a debt in
wheat can take it into his head to pay
potatoes"
That paying foreign obligations
in silver is reputation is ex-
actly the view .of the gold men of
Wall street If silver is good enough
money for domestic purposes, then why
should it not be good enough for for
eign purposes. so far as the United
States are concerned? What has been
good enough for Americans,
Americans have generally considered
good enough for anybody.
If the following is not an indorse-

IF WE HAD FREE COINAGE.

Every nation in Europe will be glad
of a chance TO sell US So cents worth
of silver for 100 cents. That's what the
Bryan platform invites them to do"
says the Chicago T1mes-Herald. Very
likely that is the case, but will every
or any nation in Europe be able to do
1t? The American people have gener-
ally been accounted a shrewd people.
able to barter and sell with any other
people anywhere. Is it reasonable to
think that they will give one hundred
cents for fifty-two cents? We think
not, nor does anyone else think so
who really thinks The Bryan plat
form" invites them TO do no such
thing; and the Tfmes-Ierald knows
ii doesn't
The country is assured by the gold
press and men that if we had free
coinage of silver all the gold in the
country would either be boarded or
sent abroad. If such were the case.
then foreigners bringing their silver
, TO this country could not expect to
get gold for it. They could get it
coined, and when coined could and
would exchange it for the products of
the country. If practically all the sill
yer Of the world came TO this country,
would not that fact alone enhance it
to the par value of gold that is, at the
present legal ratio? The moment it
was seen that silver was flowing to the
Omitted States the demand for it in
those countries from which it was
flowing would Immediately increase,
with the necessary consequence that
its price would rise. The only circum-
stances under which this would not be
the case would be where the supply OF
gold is so abundant that there would
be no place whatever for silver in the
monetary system. This law of supply
and demand as regards money is one
that will work both ways, as well with
silver as with gold. Wien all the
silver of the world comes to the United
States we may be very sure that the
world win very soon be coming after it.
Let the silver come

IRISH LAND Bills AND FREE
SILVER

Against the advocates of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver the charge
is brought by those who oppose it,
that it means confscation and repud-
iaEion; that those Who advocate it are
dishonest and would rob their cred
itors of their just dues. Those who
make these charges do not credit the
advocates oe free silver with any hon
est or proper motives, or any motives
but the most venal and selfish, while
they denounce and vilify them 70 the
extent of their caDacity.
Whether or not the silver advocates
are right, there is % denying the fact
that the country is in a condition Dor
6ea,ing upon universal bankruptcy.
while the remedies that have been ap-
piled co cure it have utterly failed. If
what the gold men say of the silver
canse were true, and free silver would
still remedy the condition of the people
and bring back property. would not
the government be amply justified in
trying the experiment?
1t would not be 90 radical as Mr..
Gladstone's proposed land scheme for
Ireland was. That scheme was uni
versally approved in the United States,
although it was recognized that it was
revolutionary in the extreme and dealt
with that form of property which has
always been most saeredly guarded by
the laws of all counties. Was not the
denuTpciation Of MI Gladstone and
his Irish land scheme by the
British Tories of the very same nature
and character as the denunciation of
the free silver men and the financial
plank of the Chicago platform by the
gold men of America? If the condition
of Ireland was and is such as to justify
in the minds of the American people a
resort to the most radical measures
measures seemingly striking ait the
very root of the English system of gov
eminent, is not the condition of the
American people today such as to JUS
tify a resort to measures that the gold
men deem equally radical? Let the
American people be as generous to
themselves as they are 20 the brave
sons of old ireland.
