The Democratic Party.

Since the formation OF the demo
cratic party it has not been so
seriously threatened win disaster
as at the present tima. It has mol
heretofore. been a party with
single principle which was calcul't
ed to please the masses, and 10y

snIwosity stcale their vo'e. From
the time when it bore tie name Of
"repnhIlcan' party to tue p esent
it has been the part, Otthe people.
1t has always opposed 'terna'-
ism, seciionals y, prOtrc ion the
few at the cost of ths many, force
billS,extravdgaut expenditures and
high taxes. Ir has favored con
sututIonal liberty, a stIict cOu trnc
ton of delegated power, state
rights, moderate aud st taxa len
and the fnll protection of indivld
nails. Advocating such principles,
il is not strange that it bias stood
firm and has been able to with

Tne opinion Is a. general among
politicians Of all parties in Wash
lngton that the Chicago convention
will be controlled by silver men
as 1t is that Mckinley will be
nominated by the s. Louis co. .
vention. Up 10 within the past
week, many who believed that thu
silver men would control the
Chicago convention did not be-
lieye that they would adopt II
radical platform or nominate a
radical silver ticket, but now
nearly everybody believes that
the platform will be straight FREE
coinage at 16 TO l, and that the
head of the ticket will be a prom
ounced silver man Although the
administration men are still claim
Ing exactly the contrary. Tue
outcome of the Kentucky 6gh. is
not calcu lated to Increase belief in
the claims of the administration
men.
The men who have changed front
on the financial question within
the last five or six years are not
confined to any one party. Senator
Butl er, of n. G, brought new
one to the trOnt when he rea in
the S nate a letter writer by
Senator Gear, Of Iowa, in 1890, adj
yocatlng the free coinage of silver.
Sena'Or Gear stated that, Ike
Secretary HOke 5 NTH 2uI OIh'r',
he had since then changed his
mind.

about as successful as an attempt

important I!

Inquiry at the office of the State
board Of land commissioners devel-
ops the fact that applications for
school lands in this State, under
what is termed the preference
right" are not being filed as rap
idly as they should when the mag
nitude Of the holdings is considered.
This is doubtless due to the lack
of familiarity with the provisions
of the law on til 5 part Of the persons
who possess this valuable right.
The. Enabling act design ated as
school lands sections 2, l6, 80 and
36, in every township in the State,
and the last Legislature, recogniz-
ing the injustice which would
result in not protecting actual and
bonafde settlers on these sections
who had settled upon, occupied or
cultivate small tracts, ignorant Of
the fact that they were school
lands, and they could not obtain
title thereto until they became the
property of the State, passed
law which will he found in the
laws of Utah, 1896, and designated
as chapter so. Section 10 Of this
act grants what has been termed
a preference right" to settlers OF
occupants. who have improved
State lands and were on January
l, 1894 actual settlers or occupants
thereon whereby these settlers
could apply for their exact hold
ings and thus be enabled to. pur-
chase them from the State at the
appraised price at private sale
without being compelled to COM
pete with any other persons who
might desire to obtain these
improved lands. The actual settler
on school land, prior to January l,
1894, has only to apply to the State
board of land commissioners
through the county tre asurer Of
this city for the particular tract,
describing the same, and he will
be granted the opportunity Of pur-
chasing it at the appraised price
and on ten years time, with il tsrest
on deferred payments at 5-per cent
per annum. This is very simple
matter. and especially SO as every

county treasurer throughout the
State has on hand, ready for dis
tribution, a large number of print
eel blanks designed for the sole
use OF these preference right"
applicants and which they can
readily obtain by writing for or
applying In person.
The provision of the law not
generally understood is the limit
of time fixed in the act for the
filing OF these applications. Six
mouths time from the date of the
fling Of school land plats, with
the various county treasurers was
allowed wherein all preference
right" claimants we're to file sheir
applications and as these plats
were fled with the county treas
urers on or about July 18th OF
this year, the time in this
county will expire on January
|, 13, 1897. The serious part OF
the matter is that il an applicant
does not apply for his land, with
the state board Of land commits
sioners, on or before said date,
he will lose his right to pur-.
chase his home at private sale and
be compelled to enter the market
1T the public sale and bid on the
same at public auction, This will
prove hardship, as the price OF
his land may be run up over the
appraised price aid in no event
can lands be sold either at public
OF private sale for less than the
appraised price per acre. So it
will readily be seen that failure to
file HE application in time may
cost much more money to retain
his home than if he used the right
granted him by the Legislature
and placed written claim at the
proper Office inside the time limit
This statement of fact is des-
igned to warn the occupants of
school land Throughout the State
of the great danger to them OF
delaying this matter and in the
hope that it may result in the
saving of money to those who
possess this right but who are not
cognizant of the restrictions and
limits coupled with it.
In counties outside of Washington
county, the time limit expires De-

President Brigham Young, dated
October 8, 1857:

you may select) to- snperintend
and look after the Native elders
and saints and the general affairs
OF the church in that region. To
aid you in this move I have in
structed brother George @. Cannon
to assist you, if need be, with such
available funds as may arise from
the sale OF the Book Of Mormon.
There are many reasons govern
ing the Policy OF you returning
home, and it is presumed that the
Book of Mormon, the Native
Elders, and one or two now there
from here, will answer on that
mission for the present.
You are doubtless aware Of the
famous government expedition
against Utah. On the 9Th instant
advanced troops, some 1900, mostly
footmen were on Hams Fork, max
ing their way by slow marches
toward Fort Hall. Their COM
handing officer had not reached
them neither do we yet know who
or where that officer is. Lieuten-
ant General Wells accompanied
by elders John Taylor and George
A. Smith. has head quarters 4
miles this side of Cache Cave, in
Echo Canyon and has plenty OF
men for keeping sharp look out,
and our different settlements are
holding themselves in readiness
for emergencies, though we do not
particularly apprehand any COLI
sion this fall or winter, and perhaps
not for some time, though we are
not aware what course the future
may shape for itself, any further
than that we are confident that our
God will order all things for the
welfare and prosperity of his cause
and people, so his saints but live
their religion.
Policy has dictated a cessation
OF laber on the Temple for short
time past and it is uncertain how
soon it will be resumed.
Conference convened as usual
on the 9th and the general author
tiles OF the church were unanimous
ly sustained. There is quite a
full attendance from the country,
Notwithstanding SO many are busily
engaged in threshing, gathering
corn, patatoes, etc.. and away from
home in the camp Of Israel.
Except the customary fall colds,
good health is enjoyed in Utah
and we continue to be abundantly
blessed of the Lord both spiritual
ly and temporarily.
Ever praying for your guidance
and prosperity in Truth, I remain
your Brother in the gospel.
